Chapter 159: Chapter 156: Growth-Type Thunder Attribute Semi-Divine Artifact: Spear of Judgment
The Divine Patterns on the semi-divine artifact grew clearer and clearer. Zhang Yi carefully observed the Divine Patterns on his evolvable, Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact and softly read them aloud:
"Divine Power, Judgment, Guaranteed Hit!"
The moment Zhang Yi uttered these three words formed by the Divine Patterns, the evolvable, Upper Class Thunder Attribute Semi-Divine Artifact flew directly into his hand.
Zhang Yi reached out and touched the Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact, a meticulous gift forged for him by his Clan. An incomparably powerful current of Thunder Attribute Power instantly surged into the body of Elf High Priest Shamiel, which Zhang Yi was currently possessing, and merged perfectly with the Divine Power within him.
Zhang Yi took a moment to assess the limits of Elf High Priest Shamiel’s body. Even with the support of Shamiel’s Faith Talent, it could at most withstand him fighting at full power for half an hour. Any longer, and the Elf High Priest’s body would begin to break down. Shamiel herself would surely be willing to offer her body to the great God of Nature, but the great God of Nature had no intention of accepting it yet. Keeping the Elf High Priest’s body intact to serve him within the Divine Realm would provide far more assistance.
Therefore, after gauging how long Shamiel’s body could support him in battle, Zhang Yi deactivated the possession and began to inspect the effects of this evolvable, Thunder Attribute, Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact.
[Spear of Judgment]
[Level: Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact (Evolvable)]
[Effect One]: Divine Power. While wielding this artifact, you can unleash a spiritual shock on all enemies present. When an enemy’s Spiritual Power is less than 100% of your own, they will be paralyzed for two to three seconds. When an enemy’s Spiritual Power is less than 80% of your own, they will be paralyzed for five to six seconds. When an enemy’s Spiritual Power is less than 60% of your own, they will be paralyzed for ten seconds or more!
[Effect Two]: Judgment. With you as the arbiter, establish a Triple Judgment Rule. Each time an opponent violates a rule of judgment, their All Attributes will be weakened by 10% and they will be afflicted with one negative status effect. At most, their All Attributes can be weakened by 30% and they can be afflicted with three negative status effects!
[Effect Three]: Guaranteed Hit. Using spirit as a thread to build a bridge, as long as your Spiritual Value is high enough, this spear has a 100% chance to hit! When an enemy’s Spiritual Power and strength are higher than yours, there is a certain probability they can dodge this attack!
"Spear of Judgment! In the name of thunder, pass judgment upon all living things! Is that where your name comes from?"
Zhang Yi mused aloud, caressing the Thunder Attribute Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact—the Spear of Judgment—that he now held. As he silently recited its name, four new Divine Patterns appeared on the shaft, right where he was holding it.
A feeling of being completely in sync with the spear washed over him. At this moment, however, Zhang Yi was more focused on the artifact’s effects than its appearance.
Through his observation, he discovered that while both Effect One and Effect Two applied negative status effects, the former was for groups, whereas the latter was for individuals who met specific conditions. Moreover, the "Judgment" from Effect Two established its three rules based on Zhang Yi’s own perception. In other words, Zhang Yi held the final right of interpretation for these three judgments.
It’s not what you think, it’s what I think!
For instance, even if everyone else believed someone was male, as long as Zhang Yi perceived them as female, the "Judgment" effect would trigger.
What Zhang Yi found most crucial was that "Judgment" could establish three rules to reduce an enemy’s All Attributes by 30%, which included their Spiritual Attribute. This was equivalent to indirectly increasing Zhang Yi’s own Spiritual Attribute relative to his opponent’s, which in turn greatly increased the probability of Effect Three’s "Guaranteed Hit."
At the same time, with Effect Two’s "Judgment," he could personally customize the three judgment rules to ensure the opponent would always trigger them and be afflicted with three negative status effects. Furthermore, he could also customize these three negative status effects. Therefore, he could, for instance, set the three effects to be reductions to Spiritual Attribute, Intelligence, and Agility.
Thus, the opponent would not only have their All Attributes reduced by 30% but also have to endure three negative status effects, including a reduction to their Spiritual Attribute.
The three effects of the Spear of Judgment covered both area-of-effect and single-target attacks. It even possessed powerful support capabilities, allowing him to debuff enemies and enhance his own state. With such effects, it could absolutely be considered a Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact.
The only reason it wasn’t a Top Level Semi-Divine Artifact yet was a slight deficiency in its materials.
The two types of Thunder Attribute materials that Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer used to forge this semi-divine artifact were indeed considered excellent in the eyes of an ordinary Clan, and even Elf Corps Commander Feiyana viewed them as quite good. But to a Demigod like Zhang Yi, whose perspective encompassed the entire Multiverse, the materials were still lacking. If Top Level Semi-Divine Artifacts could really be forged so easily, there wouldn’t be cases of Ninth Transformation Demigods bankrupting themselves for a single one.
The new, evolvable Thunder Attribute Semi-Divine Artifact had arrived in Zhang Yi’s hands that morning, during the gathering of the four Clans. By that afternoon, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana had already used the midday hours to arrange her plans.
