Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 437 - 44: Eldritch the God-Eater 2

The strength of Eldritch, the Lord of Cinder, is uncertain.

Normally, a Lord of Cinder's power would be greatly diminished after having burned in the First Flame, but there's a huge variable here: the Deeper One-Saint Eldritch consumed Shadow Sun-Gwendolin. This leads to two possibilities. The first is that Eldritch has already digested Shadow Sun-Gwendolin, which is the worst-case scenario. A Lord of Cinder known for devouring humans, if he has digested Gwyn's heir, would almost certainly have a huge power surge.

The second possibility is that Eldritch has consumed Gwendolin but hasn't fully digested him.

This scenario is most favorable for Su Ziyu.

Because during this time Eldritch is still in a 'feeding digestion' state, making it significantly easier to deal with him.

Since his last feeding, Eldritch has been hiding inside without emerging. Logically, he hasn't fully digested Shadow Sun-Gwendolin yet. But it cannot be ruled out that he has digested it but doesn't want to come out, simply hiding inside waiting for the First Flame to extinguish.

Therefore, Su Ziyu still needs to make a bit more preparation.

—— "Physical Enhancement LV7!"

Considering that the strong beings in this world have very tenacious life force, Su Ziyu decisively used 1 point of Divinity Value obtained from Giant King Yum on Physical Enhancement.

Physical life is the margin for error in battle, very useful when facing any enemy.

—— "Enhanced Perfect Physique!"

The Divine Race Knights of Yanorlund provided a significant amount of Source Power Value. Su Ziyu briefly sifted through, prioritizing the Legendary Level expansion ability, a passive ability that removes all lethal weaknesses of Su Ziyu except for the head, so even if his heart is pierced he won't die immediately, but will enter a critically wounded bleeding state.

Perfect Physique can cooperate with Legendary Strength, directly elevating his life force to the level of a humanoid tank.

Of course, the defense power isn't enough unless he wears a set of heavy armor.

But if Su Ziyu wears heavy armor, he wouldn't be able to move flexibly, and the consumption during Telekinesis Sweep would increase, inevitably requiring a trade-off.

After strengthening these two abilities, the remaining Source Power Value was not much.

—— "Agility Enhancement LV6!"

Su Ziyu thought for a moment, and straightforwardly strengthened Agility to LV6. Due to the Fire Giant Belt, his power burst is actually not weak, and his means of output are not entirely dependent on physical damage. So, he wasn't urgent about power; instead, Agility Enhancement brought conditioned reflexes and evasion abilities that were more useful.

Throughout so many battles, he didn't get much injured because his evasion was high enough.

"The skill tree must be expanded further." Su Ziyu looked at his data page and thought to himself.

The Space-Time Monitor System's skill tree needs to be expanded by oneself, largely related to the worlds he has experienced and the enemies he's defeated.

Because he went to a Technology Plane earlier, the expansion being brought out now is all flesh mutation strengthening routes.

Now he needs Spiritual Energy expansion at a higher tier, needs top-level Swordsmanship expansion, and ideally could also master some new killing moves; Lightning Storm is a range attack, Thunder Strike needs to be outdoors, and currently all he can present is Thunder Spear expansion.

The further down, surely the weapons from the Technology Plane would have increasingly lower lethality.

Unless he plans to enter the 'Unstable Mechanical Ascension' world to search for new high-tech weapons.

"Let's go." After restoring Spiritual Energy to about ninety percent, Su Ziyu stood up and said. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Sister Fried on the side nodded slightly, while You'Er Xia still had a blank expression, seemingly Sister Fried was right from the beginning — she indeed had lost a lot of humanity.

The humanity loss in this world is quite bizarre.

Death is merely the fastest path to humanity loss; besides, if a person's beliefs falter or their mind falls into chaos, humanity can also be lost.

Some Holy Offices and Warriors turned into insane zombies in such ways.

Perhaps it was because they lost what they must persist in protecting.

Since the world has become like this.

Poor willpower people might lose all humanity clean due to despair.

"Gained 1 point of Source Power Value."

Just as Su Ziyu was preparing to move into the grand palace, a prompt from the Space-Time Monitor System suddenly emerged.

It's the little girl.

His daughter.

Su Ziyu is not fighting now, and there's no Source Power Value nearby to obtain, it must have been the little girl as a Space-Time Apostle defeating a Mutant, thus allowing Su Ziyu to gain Source Power Value.

"Can't let my own daughter outshine me!"

Images of parting moments surfaced in Su Ziyu's mind; at that time the little girl seriously said, "Dad, when I grow up, I'll protect you."

This is the second time an inexplicable source power value gain prompt has appeared.

She is battling too!

Su Ziyu's heart felt a clear emotional surge, both comforting and slightly worrying, making Sister Fried glance at him a few more times.

Hum.

The heavy doors were directly pushed open by Su Ziyu.

In front of him was a dim great hall, with some secretion flowing on the ground like sludge, and traces of drilling were visible on the floor, who knows what ghostly thing emerged from below here. Some bishops holding ritual daggers appeared in front of him, but sadly they were all zombified, with even some rot traces on their faces. They've been zombified for quite a long time.
