A gold coin appeared in Su Xiao's hand. The obverse of the coin was a sun, and the reverse was a thorn flower.
He had to admit, this was the most interesting piece of equipment he had ever seen. It could be tossed once every 47 hours. The buff effect on the obverse was very strong, with effect 2 essentially meaning he had several fifth-rank healers following him around, taking turns healing him.
The debuff effect was also exceptionally treacherous. Without using Fate Dominator, Su Xiao's Luck attribute was 9 points. Once he tossed the reverse, his Luck attribute would become negative. As for offsetting it with a Lucky King state, that was completely impossible. This kind of debuff was a continuous status effect.
Negative 6 points of Luck attribute—Su Xiao could fully imagine how miserable that would be, let alone lasting for 2 days. It would be like the whole world was targeting him.
What felt even more malicious was that the debuff state lasted 48 hours, while the Cursed Gold Coin's cooldown was 47 hours. It was important to note that this debuff state could stack.
Assuming the user had 0 Luck attribute, if they took a desperate gamble and tossed the coin again, once the debuff state was triggered a second time, they would have to endure a terrifying debuff of Luck attribute -30 points, lasting 49 hours.
That permanent 1-point Luck increase opportunity was like a seductive beauty, constantly tempting Su Xiao, whispering in his ear with a wet, sticky voice, "Toss it, toss the coin in your hand, and this luck will be yours."
Su Xiao put away the Cursed Gold Coin. He planned to try it out in the near future, and returning to the Real World before that would be a good choice.
After opening the chests, Su Xiao sensed his own condition. He was in a pretty good state now. It was time to awaken his talent, Soul Devourer, for the second time.
"Meow meow meow!"
Beini's 'wail' came through. By now, she had pounced on Bubu Wang's head, scratching and biting. On Beini's face, there were still streaks of transparent liquid—a mixture of water, mucin, and inorganic salts, commonly known as snot.
"Beini."
Hearing Su Xiao speak, Beini, who was using her little paws to dig at Bubu Wang's mouth, stopped.
"If I show any abnormal signs, inject me with this immediately."
Su Xiao took out an injection gun from his storage space. This was an active potion he had prepared. The experiences of the first two times he upgraded the Soul Devourer talent were too painful. This time, he had prepared in advance.
"Meow."
Beini wiped the snot off her face, meaning she would let Bubu off this time. Bubu Wang trotted over to Su Xiao, took the injection gun in his mouth, and signaled that he was ready.
[Hunter has activated the talent second awakening authority.]
[About to consume 'Soul Devouring Origin', this item is unique and can only be obtained by killing the Moon God. Yes/No to use.]
Su Xiao chose to use it. The next moment, he felt a chill in his chest, as if a piece of ice had suddenly appeared inside his ribcage. The chill was spreading through his blood.
In reality, this chill didn't come from his body, but from his soul.
"Hehehe... hahaha... hahaha..."
A sound like madness, like a ferocious demon, appeared. Hearing this sound, both Bubu Wang and Beini bristled. Bubu Wang's hind legs trembled, while Beini's four paws were stiff. This fear wasn't from the body, but from the depths of the soul.
It felt like something could bite into their souls at any moment, tear off a piece, and slowly chew it.
"Woo... ow."
Although Bubu Wang was scared to death, he still shakily aimed the injection gun at Su Xiao's arm, ready to inject the potion if anything went wrong.
Just then, the door to the Exclusive Room was pushed open. Baha, carrying a bottle of wine with his wing, returned to the Exclusive Room.
"Wh-what's going on?"
Even the fierce Baha, upon sensing the aura around Su Xiao, froze in place.
At that moment, Su Xiao's vision went completely black. He felt like he was falling, plunging into an endless dark abyss.
Plop~
Su Xiao fell into 'water'. Large bubbles appeared around him, and a faint light gradually emerged. He saw that another figure was also falling with him—the Moon God.
The Moon God's eyes opened, and two dark red glows in their sockets stared at Su Xiao. But in the next instant, the Moon God gradually turned into bubbles.
This wasn't Su Xiao's illusion, but a part of the Moon God's will. As a deity, the Moon God had his own pride. Defeated was defeated, and the Soul Devouring Origin belonged to the victor.
A colorless energy surged toward Su Xiao. Su Xiao's feeling of drowning disappeared. He suddenly broke free from the 'water'. When his vision returned, he was already sitting on a throne carved from crystal. This throne... was entirely made of Soul Crystals.
"Soul Lord."
A dragon as large as a mountain range, an old demon with curled goat horns covered in mysterious patterns, a six-armed, two-headed giant, and countless powerful beings knelt below the Soul Throne. And the power of this throne was what the Moon God had once pursued.
