Chapter 169-Absorbing
Dave cleared his thoughts and looked at the Snowflake and tried to look for ways to get this item.
He cannot get near it as he was sure that he would turn into an ice statue. After checking all of his skills, he suddenly got an idea.
He looked at the snowflake again then he positioned his hands towards the snowflake then activated his Sin of Greed Skill-<Hands of Greed>.
The snowflake instantly disappears from its original place and appears in his hand. Dave was stunned and felt that it was so easy that he didn’t even sweat. He looked at the snowflake in his hand and he was amused to think that this is a treasure that many would try to do anything to get.
He can feel the coldness of it but because of the <Hands of Greed>, it restricts its energy. He was amazed by this skill because he already used it in stealing treasures and he noticed that it was not just for stealing, this skill can even neutralize the energy of an item.
[Ding! Do you want to absorb this Heavenly Ice Fragment?]
[Note: You need 1 quintillion sin points to safely absorb it without side effects]
The system notified him, and Dave nodded he knew that it was beneficial to him. It cost a lot, but he was sure that no one can absorb the power of Heavenly Ice Fragment without risking his life, so it was worth it. He was sure that this item can improve his power and that he can collect sin points again, so he agrees.
“Yes”
[Processing]
[Deducting 1 Quintillion Sin Points]
..
Dave saw that the snowflake evaporated, and he could feel cold energy entering his body. Dave didn’t feel pain, but he unconsciously closed his eyes as he lost consciousness.
…
[Complete]
Dave opens his eyes as he suddenly hears a notification in his head. Dave was stunned as he remembers that he was in the process of absorbing the Heavenly Ice Fragment, but he lost consciousness.
He checks his surroundings and sighs in relief that he was still in the cave. He realized that he was unconscious for an hour. He checked his body and was stunned when he saw his transformation.
He saw that his long red hair became blue, and his blue eyes became white. His face remains handsome, but he now looks aloof and cold. He didn’t expect absorbing the Fragment would change his image.
[Host, you are in the Ice Lord Mode, and you can deactivate it to return to your original form]
Dave was stunned and he immediately checked his status.

=====
Dave was stunned and happy to see how much this fragment improved his powers. He also saw that there are 5 fragments of Heavenly Ice so he only needs 4 more to complete it.
His strength improved from Low-tier Saint Lord to Low-tier Saint King and his stats have risen
He can feel the changes in his strength and feels that he can kill his previous self with just a punch.
He also gained a skill from the Heavenly Ice Fragment, and they are so strong that he wanted to try using it but he suddenly saw his mana draining rapidly.
He remembers that he was in Ice Lord Mode so he immediately deactivated it.
“Deactivate”
His blue hair went back to red, and his eyes became the color blue again. Dave went back to his original form.
Dave is still collecting his thoughts, but he heard a notification from the system.
[Warning to the host, the cave is about to collapse as the main source of this cave is now in your body.]
Dave was stunned and he suddenly felt a tremor and saw that the cave was slowly collapsing. He has already got the treasure here, so he immediately uses teleportation, and he disappears from the cave.
…
Dave appeared outside the cave, and he was amazed to see that it became colder, and the trees are now fully covered with ice. Before he entered the cave, the trees here were only covered with snow but now everything near the cave is covered with ice.
Dave realized that it was the effect of his using the ice Lord Mode that froze the whole surroundings. He was now immune to ice magic, so he didn’t feel restricted by the coldness. The monster lingering in the area also turned into an ice statue, but his face changed when he saw that there was a woman also turned into an ice statue, but he could feel that she was still alive.
He went near her and saw how beautiful she was. She had white hair and a height of 5’7 and her facial features are a bit familiar, but he cannot identify them. He saw her holding a sword and wearing armor and she must be only walking here, unfortunately turning into ice after Dave unconsciously activated the Ice Lord Mode.
