Fool’s words made Mike frown, and he said unhappily,
“Why don’t you be more specific.”
Fool translated it into the most straightforward language,
“Do you have a disease?”
“No, I’m perfectly healthy!”
Fool continued to explain,
“Come on, let me analyze it for you. Your elemental classes after changing classes are: Lightning, Fire, and Shadow as main elements, and Water, Nature, and Wind as sub- elements, right?”
Mike nodded, “Yes, so what?”
“So what?”
Fool sneered,
“Take a good look at what elemental skill you just created!”
[I know the answer!]
[Let me do it!]
The Eye of Truth immediately gave a prompt.
[Thunderclap Fate is actually a combination of three elements, in addition to Lightning and Fire, there’s also Soul Element!]
Mike asked, puzzled, “Is there a problem with the skill being Soul Element?”
Fool looked at Mike as if he was a idiot, sneering repeatedly, “You don’t even have a Soul Element class, yet you created a Soul Element skill, and you still say you’re not sick?” Huh?
She seemed to have a point!
Although Fool was right, Mike didn’t want to admit his mistake so quickly.
“Maybe the skill effect mutated, can’t it?”
“Sure, of course it can! As long as you’re willing to bear the consequences!”
Fool snorted coldly. She stood there, silent, looking at Mike coldly.
Mike turned around and kicked Vladimir,
“Can’t you see that Fool and I are having a pleasant conversation? Go make us two cups of coffee, use the Moonwell water!”
When it came to his life, Mike was very cautious.
Soon,
On the open-air balcony on the top floor of Mistveil Castle, tables, chairs, and benches were set up, along with popcorn and Moonwell water.
“Please have a seat.”
Fool sat down, and Mike personally brought the brewed coffee to her, waiting for her to continue.
After taking a sip of coffee, Fool said unhurriedly,
“I can tell you about the problem and the danger, but…”
Obviously,
This time, Fool had the upper hand in the negotiation, she could set her own terms.
Of course, Mike could choose to accept or refuse.
The problems that Fool could see, other human experts could probably see as well.
If Shadow Nine was still around, Mike wouldn’t need to go to Fool, he could just ask Shadow Nine directly.
Unfortunately, Shadow Nine wasn’t by his side now.
As long as Fool’s price wasn’t outrageous, Mike didn’t mind getting a preliminary diagnosis here.
“I have three conditions.”
Fool raised three fingers,
“First, in the future, you will share information about any skills you comprehend (create) with me for free.”
Mike argued, “Only during the time you stay in my private space!”
“Okay.”
Fool continued,
“My maid needs Moonwell water, give me five bottles a day.”
Mike tried to bargain, “How about one bottle every five days?”
Fool’s mouth twitched, this guy, even bargaining over something related to his own life?
“One bottle a day!”
“Deal!”
Fool’s last condition.
She revealed a wicked smile,
“The next item produced by your Money Tree belongs to me!”
“…Deal!”
Mike agreed.
Since the deal was made, Fool directly revealed the answer,
“You don’t have a Soul Element class, yet you created a Soul Element skill, it’s like opening Pandora’s Box, it will only bring you disaster and suffering.”
Before Mike could ask, Fool continued,
“I asked you before if you felt any discomfort, and you said no. Ruling out the possibility that you’re lying to me, the soul energy that should have been consumed by your creation this time was offset by something, right?”
Mike nodded, tacitly agreeing.
Indeed.
The [Wisdom Fire] he had borrowed from Surtr before could cover the consumption of his
next creation.
“That’s right.”
Fool continued,
“This isn’t the first time you’ve created a skill, you should be able to feel that the creation process is harmful to yourself. And Soul Element skills will damage your soul! If you had a Soul Element class, it wouldn’t be a big deal, you might even be able to heal yourself, but you just don’t have Soul Element…”
Fool smiled wryly, “I really don’t know whether to say your talent is good or bad.”
She looked into Mike’s eyes and sighed,
“If your talent was a little worse and you couldn’t create skills, you naturally wouldn’t have this worry. But you just happen to be a genius, not only can you create skills, you can even create skills of elements that aren’t your own class. Hmm, your Soul Element affinity must be
very high…”
With Fool’s explanation, Mike understood.
Because of his high talent and high Soul Element affinity, he had coincidentally created a skill
with Soul Element.
And once Pandora’s Box was opened, it couldn’t be closed.
In other words, every time Mike created a skill in the future, it might contain Soul Element, and this would undoubtedly cause irreversible damage to his soul!
And as Mike’s strength increased, he would create skills more frequently, and the damage to
his soul would be even greater!
When the damage to his soul accumulated to a certain extent, Mike could just GG.
Hearing this, Mike also realized the seriousness of the problem. He really wanted to ask, was
it too late to forget about [Thunderclap Fate]?
“Alright, I’m just messing with you.”
Looking at the contemplative Thor, Fool’s stern face suddenly relaxed, and she laughed heartily, “Actually, this problem is easy to solve, it’s not as scary as you think.”
Mike glanced at Fool, not understanding what she meant.
Before, Mike had checked every word Fool said with the Eye of Truth.
She wasn’t lying!
Mike asked tentatively, “Can my third bro help solve this?”
Having been with Thor for so long, Fool knew who Thor’s third bro was.
“You can’t go to him for this.” She shook her head. “There’s only one person in the human
race who can solve your problem. If he takes action, he can easily eliminate this hidden danger. You happen to know this person, and you’re very familiar with him!”
Without teasing Mike any further, Fool readily revealed the answer,
“Shadow Nine!”
Mike was stunned for a moment and confirmed with Fool, “Only Shadow Nine can help me?”
“Yes,”
Fool asked back, “Did something happen to Shadow Nine?”
“Shadow Nine, he…”
Mike held his forehead and said helplessly, “He went to the Supreme Abyssal, he might not be
back for ten years.”
Mike took a deep breath and asked, “Fool, do you think I can hold on for another ten years in
my current condition?”
“Why did Shadow Nine go to the Supreme Abyssal?”
Fool frowned, clearly more concerned about this matter.
She had been staying in Mike’s private space this whole time and was completely unaware of
what was happening outside.
“Forget about Shadow Nine, at least we can’t count on him for this.”
Mike took out a mirror, looked at himself in the reflection, and fell into deep thought.
Fool rolled her eyes,
“At a time like this, you’re still busy being narcissistic?”
“Go, go, don’t get in the way here.”
Fool had said all she needed to say, and Mike immediately reverted to his previous attitude.
He looked at himself in the mirror, of course, not entirely out of narcissism, but mainly to use
the Eye of Truth to examine himself.
To a certain extent, the Eye of Truth was the best diagnostic doctor in this world.
[Current Soul Energy: 100%!]
The Wisdom Fire had offset the consumption of one creation for Mike.
Mike focused his attention on the [Thunderclap Fate] skill, wanting to see how much soul
energy this skill would have consumed if it hadn’t been offset.
[Evaluating…]
[24.22%]
Huh?
At this rate, Mike would die from soul disintegration after creating four skills.
This involved a very tricky problem.
The stronger Mike became, and the stronger the skills he created would be!
Perhaps the percentage of soul energy consumed would be even higher!
If he wasn’t careful, he could die in the process of creation! Thinking of this, Mike took out the Trade Secret Realm pass and contacted Foreskin.
Thor: “Sir, are you there?”
Foreskin was startled by Thor’s respectful tone and hurriedly asked, “What happened?”
Mike briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter and entrusted Foreskin to relay the message to Apollo.
After receiving Thor’s message, Foreskin didn’t dare to delay and immediately contacted his
boss.
The Trade Secret Realm pass fell silent for a moment.
“Why is there no response?”
Just as Mike was wondering, his private space suddenly shook violently.
“Boom-”
“Boom-”
“Boom-”
The private space swayed wildly like a lone boat in a raging storm.
After three loud booms, an ethereal voice came from above the private space.
“Open the door.”
Outside the private space, in the void, a butterfly flapped its wings.
Apollo recalled the etiquette his instructor had taught him.
If you wanted to enter someone else’s private space in a friendly manner, you had to knock
first and obtain the owner’s consent before entering.
Apollo had never used this etiquette before.
He wasn’t interested in other people’s private spaces. Occasionally, when he entered someone
else’s private space, it was just to casually solve some trouble, there was no need to express
goodwill or friendliness.
Apollo suddenly remembered that his instructor had also told him to make sure to express that he meant no harm.
So Apollo spoke again, “I’m not here to kill you.”
Initially, Mike wasn’t afraid, but for some reason, hearing Apollo say this made him feel a
little uneasy.
Mike never expected that before he could even go to Apollo, Apollo would come to his doorstep to help him with his “illness”!
Under Mike’s control, the private space stabilized, and a door opened above.
A butterfly flew out from it.
The butterfly flew towards the balcony of Mistveil Castle and landed on the back of a chair.
Poof-
Vladimir and Dracula both turned into pigs.
The maid behind Fool turned into a piece of wood.
On the entire balcony, only Mike and Fool could barely maintain their composure.
The butterfly looked at Mike and said calmly,
“You’re fine.”
Mike let out a long sigh of relief, leaning back in his chair.
If Apollo said he was fine, then he was truly fine.
“My instructor can cure you when he returns.”
Mike was a smart man, the implication of Apollo’s words was that perhaps he wouldn’t have
to wait ten years, Shadow Nine would be back soon!
Ten years was originally Shadow Nine’s plan, the ten years he had bought for Apollo and Thor.
However, this wasn’t Apollo’s plan.
In Apollo’s view, as long as the time was right, he would open the Supreme Abyssal again and
release Shadow Nine and the others. He would personally face the Supreme Demon God. Mike thought for a moment and didn’t ask about this matter, instead, he changed the
direction of his inquiry, “If I change my class(job) to Soul Element, can it completely solve
this hidden danger?”
“No.”
The butterfly flapped its wings and asked casually, “Do you want to change your class? Do you
want to lose your powerful lightning abilities?” What was there to hesitate about?
Mike thought for a moment and said,
“If it doesn’t affect my lightning abilities, having Soul Element as a sub-class would be pretty good.”
“No problem.”
The butterfly flew up from the chair, and a feather appeared out of thin air, landing on the
coffee table.
“Use this the next time you change classes, and you will gain the Soul Element.”
The butterfly gently flapped its wings and disappeared from Mike’s private space. Mike, holding the feather, liked it more and more the more he looked at it, a smile he couldn’t
suppress appearing on his face.
This feather was definitely not as ordinary as it looked, it must be a powerful treasure.
Fool rolled her eyes at Thor and said angrily, “Are you an idiot?”
Mike glared back, retorting,
“Fool, this isn’t the first time you’ve scolded me today. I’m warning you, I’ve been putting up
with you for a long time!”
Fool pointed to the sky, “I’m asking you, who just came?”
Mike said confidently,
“My third bro.”
Fool rolled her eyes, “You’ve communicated with Apollo before, right?”
Fool said seriously, “Think carefully, besides answering your questions, would Apollo take
the initiative to ask about things related to you?”
Mike was stunned, it seemed like he really hadn’t!
Apollo always answered whatever was asked, taking the initiative to ask questions was
extremely rare. Today, when Mike was asking about Soul Element related matters, Apollo actually took the initiative to ask, “Do you want to change your class?”, and even left a feather behind! Seeing Mike lost in thought, Fool threw out a soul-stirring question, “Don’t you think that after spending so much time with him… Apollo is starting to act like a human? That he’s also developing emotions and the ability to think?” Mike snorted coldly and said dismissively,
“Get out of here, my third bro is human.”
…
Outside Thor’s private space, a butterfly hovered in the void.
He had left, but not completely.
He had heard the conversation between Fool and Thor.
He didn’t deliberately eavesdrop, but his instructor hadn’t told him not to listen, so he
listened.
After hearing the conversation, the butterfly was pondering a question.
Was her question right?
After thinking about it, the butterfly nodded.
Yes.
Was Thor’s answer right?
He didn’t know.
He had been thinking about this question for three hundred years, maybe even longer.
