Chapter 229: Top-Tier Guild Material Set: Divine Relic

Sterl eagerly looked at the content displayed on his panel. The abilities of Silent Domain were revealed to be—

Silent Night (Basic)

The End of All Things (Requires both Laws to be at the Mastery level)

?????? (Requires both Laws to be at the Perfect level)

[Activation Requirements: Master either the Curse Law or the Arcane Law. If neither is mastered, only the gold-tier Silent Domain can be activated.]

As the wheel came to a stop, a golden light surged directly into Sterl's mind.

He felt the power of the platinum skill—within the illusion, Sterl used The End of All Things by harnessing the Mastery level of both Laws to create an extremely dark domain.

This domain had no offensive capabilities, but except for Sterl, all units within it could not use any skills, activate any talents, traits, or blessings...

All items and equipment placed in this domain would rapidly decay and turn to dust.

Additionally, elemental and energy beings would quickly wither and dissipate within this domain.

Upon exiting the illusion, Sterl noticed a new skill on his panel—

[Silent Domain (Gold)]

[Effect: Passive: After you attack, you randomly nullify one of the opponent's skills/traits/talents/equipment effects.

Active: Upon activating this ability, you create a silent domain based on your energy expenditure. In this domain, the opponent has a chance to fail when using skills/traits/talents/equipment effects. After using the active ability, there is a three-day cooldown.

You will lose the passive effect for three days.]

[To activate the platinum version, you must master both the Curse Law and the Arcane Law.]

"Guess I got excited too soon."

Sterl sighed helplessly. He had been so focused on obtaining a platinum skill that he overlooked the fact that without the support of Law Power, he couldn't use it effectively.

Fortunately, even the gold version of Silent Domain had a pretty decent effect, which was a control skill Sterl lacked.

The control effect was also excellent, rendering the opponent unable to use skills/traits/talents/equipment effects, which could drastically reduce their combat effectiveness.

The only issue was its randomness.

It might not necessarily seal the opponent's core skills, but Sterl didn't see that as a major problem. He just needed to figure out a high-frequency attack strategy to make it work.

That's right, what he focused on was the passive effect of Silent Domain.

As for the active effect, which silences enemies on a large scale but only randomly seals some of their abilities, Sterl thought he'd have to be out of his mind to use it.

If he was just bullying weaker opponents, he wouldn't need to use it at all. And if he was facing a strong enemy and was surrounded by foes that he could only beat with such a random effect, he'd be better off considering how to escape.

"But evolving it to a platinum skill means it can nullify traits and talents?" He immediately thought of the Devourer of All Things he encountered in the extreme trials.

Silent Domain would be extremely effective against it, nullifying the Devourer of All Things' Divine Protection and its trait to Consume Everything, allowing any player of the same level to easily slaughter it.

"So, the Hall of Valor is designed to counter the Devourer of All Things?"

"The catastrophe was caused by such special monsters."

The more Sterl learned, the more he felt his initial guesses were correct.

He couldn't help but smile.

Indeed!

The original plan was to build an SSS-quality Tier 3 guild. Now, it would be a Radiant-tier guild!

How powerful would those enhancements be?

He was already getting excited...

Yet amidst his excitement, Sterl couldn't shake the feeling that he was overlooking something.

At this moment, if humanity from Earth—no, to be precise, if the Dark Moon Goddess Gloria herself were here—she would undoubtedly realize something significant. The names associated with these relics were all from Earth's ancient mythology, truly worthy of being called "gods."

These were beings that could genuinely be considered "gods," unlike the so-called "gods" in [Transcendence], where hundreds or even thousands could possess the same divine authority. These were not clowns who, despite wielding immense power, would lose all their Divine Power if killed in the game!

Meanwhile, Sterl was blissfully unaware of these deeper implications. He cheerfully stashed all the materials into his small world, planning to enhance them later. He then turned his attention back to the exchange store to pick his final reward.

And this time, Sterl was genuinely torn. There were so many good options that he had no idea which one to choose.

Among the skills, he could directly select a Law Power Insight Package or a platinum-grade skill. What the...

[Arcane Law Insight Voucher]

[Description: A rare item issued by the Hall of Valor, obtainable only through special means.]

[Effect: You can enter a specific world without restrictions to comprehend the Arcane Law until you fully understand it. If you already possess this Law, you are allowed to elevate its level by one major stage.]

[Flowing Water Law Insight Voucher]

[Curse Law Insight Voucher]

...

[Night of Neverwinter (Platinum)]

[Proclamation (Platinum)]

[Harvest of the Long Night (Platinum)]

...

As for equipment, although Sterl didn't have to worry too much, the top-tier items available in the store were suited for third-class legends or even demigods:

[Wrath of Heaven (Legendary)]

[Category: Armor]

[Grade: Demigod]

[Description: ...]

[Effect: Increases all attributes by 150 and adds an additional 20%. Enhances all attribute effects by 20% and Law Power effects by 30%.]

[Attached Skill: Heavenly Meteor (Platinum)]

...

[Phantom God's Flute (Legendary)]

[Grade: Demigod]

...

Any item Sterl casually picked would be incredibly overpowered. There were also items that second-class characters could directly use, but choosing those felt like a waste due to their relatively lower attributes compared to the higher-grade ones.

The item category was filled with countless rare treasures. Sterl felt that each one was useful, each one worth picking. He even found another Flower of All-Seeing Wisdom, which he had already consumed once before, and the Fire of Ten Thousand Souls that he currently possessed.

After much deliberation, Sterl made his decision. He swiftly tapped a few options in the void, then silently pressed the confirm button in the store.
