The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 440: The Poisonous Dust of the Great Hermes
The body of Nicholas II began to emit light golden smoke.
The poisonous dust he created was quite different from the poisonous dust Isaac summoned in front of the Hugo Tower Master.
It does not turn the surrounding air into poisonous dust, but directly uses its own "dragon body" as a semi-finished raw material, skipping most of the chants.
And after this period of research, Nicholas II had a new understanding of the "Hermetic Poison Dust". Because the conversion goal is something completely different, its name has changed.
"——The poisonous dust of the triple great Hermes. The new name I gave her, a gift specially prepared for you."
Nicholas II let out a deep laugh, spitting out complex dragon language from his throat: "Soul from another world, Annan... Do you know who Hermes is?"
Annan remained silent, tensing his nerves and quickly retreating toward the sky.
This issue mentioned by Nicholas II is exactly what puzzled Annan.
The so-called "Hermetic Philosopher's Stone" is because the real Philosopher's Stone does not exist in this world at all, and it absolutely cannot be created by artificial means... Therefore, there are "Philosopher's Stones" that are created by artificial means. Beggar’s version of the Philosopher’s Stone.
Like Nicholas back then, he was once called the "second Hermes". He was the "greatest alchemist in the world" who completed the "work of creation" sufficient to ascend as a human being.
Then the problem comes.
——In this case, who is Hermes?
He is not a god, otherwise his name itself should be mysterious knowledge; and even a genius like Nicholas can only be called "Hermes II". Even the Hermetic Poison Dust or the Hermetic Philosopher's Stone must be named after him...
But on the other hand, since he has completed the "work of creation", he should naturally also complete the "supreme crown". This kind of genius soul may also be selected by the Book of Truth.
But he did not become a god...
While Annan was lost in thought.
The players have already rushed over immediately.
About half of the players saw Annan suddenly retreating, realized something, and stopped slightly.
But less than one-third of the players either did not see Annan’s evacuation, or took it for granted that “players enter and leave”...
In short, they did not stop or even slow down - but rushed directly to Nicholas II.
Annan didn't make a sound to remind him.
But while evacuating, he opened the resurrection permission and opened the background at the same time... and prepared to observe the damage and specific effects of this "Poisonous Dust of Triple Great Hermes".
Now that almost all players have reached the Silver level, the cost of resurrection is no longer as lossless as it was at the beginning. Every time a player is resurrected, visible resources within the "Book of Heavenly Cars" are consumed.
Although that resource will be restored quickly over time, generally speaking, the stock is only enough to resurrect all players once, and then the resource will be restored at a rate of about one person per second.
So Annan's "unlimited resurrection" permissions are now being opened less and less.
It's not that he is worried about resources that can be restored at any time... but that he is worried that players will use resurrection to reset their skills without any scruples while they have unlimited resurrection. Once the resurrection is interrupted, it will be bad.
——That means players will realize that the person who pulled them over is not as omnipotent as they imagined.
Annan has always believed that the human heart cannot be tested. Because the human heart cannot withstand temptation.
After a player advances to gold, let’s first take a look at how many resources it will take to resurrect a gold-level transcendent. Depending on the situation, decide whether to increase the resurrection waiting time setting...
"...huh?"
After the group of players rushed into the golden poisonous dust, Annan was stunned for a moment.
It's not because those players were instantly melted by the poisonous dust.
If this were the case, Annan would not be too surprised.
"Hermetic Poison Dust" was originally a targeted weapon used to kill alien creatures. To people in this world, it is completely non-toxic; but to creatures from other worlds, it is like strong acid that cannot be exempted and is difficult to dissipate.
The reason why Hermes II was "opened and resurrected" was to allow him to develop more powerful poisonous dust to fight against the wandering demons that would fall into this world from the virtual world in the future.
So, it’s not surprising that the new poison dust he developed, which can be simply called "Triple Poison Dust"... has become stronger.
But the problem is that the damage is too low.
After the players entered the coverage area of [Triple Poisonous Dust], not only were they not corroded or melted instantly, they even almost did not lose any blood... The burning of the poisonous dust only made their skin red and cracked. Three seconds and even health did not drop.
If you want to be burned to death by the effect of poisonous dust, you may not be able to do it even if you stand in it for three minutes. You only need to use a healing magic spell to replenish your status.
——What is this thing used for?
Why did Nicholas II say... This was specifically used to restrain him?
Or is it that he accidentally made a mistake in his research - in fact, this thing is of no use to Annan?
Annan was confused.
But he always felt that it was impossible for Nicholas II to make such a mistake...
"[Appearance of the Sun], [Power of Azote]——"
Before the first wave of attacks from the players hit him, Nicholas II started chanting again.
The golden smoke emitting around him suddenly emitted light, forming a substantial translucent golden force field.
Like a huge lotus in full bloom.
Layers of golden force fields like lotus petals separated the players who rushed into the golden smoke formation into different layers.
The huge black dragon lay in the middle of the lotus. All attacks from inside and outside were dispersed and absorbed by the golden multi-layered force field that suddenly emerged.
"[Orchid Noose], [Lotus Transformation]——"
As the black dragon chanted, it fell.
The golden lotus flower that absorbed many attacks suddenly bloomed.
The surrounding players will naturally not be unable to dodge and be crushed underneath... But the players who were previously locked in the middle of the force field lotus could only watch the petals bloom and start to rotate before being crushed flat.
Even if he has not died for a while, the crystal-like force field lotus suddenly emits high heat.
The golden flames spread rapidly along the "silver" on the ground, outlining a huge formation on the ground.
Before that, about sixteen players had been locked in the lotus and were instantly killed by the mechanism the moment the battle started. ~IndoMTL.com~ But at this time.
Annan discovered that even though he had opened the resurrection permission, they did not resurrect the corpses running around.
Their "Resurrection" button immediately went dark.
When Annan was forcibly resurrected, he saw a prompt on his system:
[Resurrection failed because the "Book of Heavenly Cars" cannot correctly express this soul]
...Isn't this because both body and soul are destroyed?
Anan was stunned for a moment.
He quickly switched back to the background and took a look at the "monitoring room screen", and found that the players' perspective did not change from his own to a "black screen", but directly returned to the real perspective.
When they wanted to return to the Misty Continent, they saw a new prompt:
[Soul expression is blocked, there is still time to fix the soul expression logic]
The latter number is still declining at a steady rate.
At this moment Annan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the person is not dead...
As long as the account is not deleted...
In other words, players who are exposed to the "Poisonous Dust of Triple Great Hermes" have no option of resurrection after death, but are directly kicked back to another world.
Annan suddenly took a breath of cold air——
This **** thing is actually a offline attack? ?
