Chapter 206: Chapter206-The Divine Power of the Holy Grail

When John saw the female player’s projection, he opened his mouth, still wanting to ask something else. But at that moment, her figure suddenly began to fade.

Seeing this, John immediately spoke up.

"I still have one last question."

The female player’s projection merely smiled and interrupted him.

"You only managed to defeat this projection of mine once. Naturally, I can only answer one of your questions. If you want more answers, then do your best to catch up to me—and defeat me."

As soon as her words fell, her figure completely faded away, vanishing from the third layer of the Holy Grail Space.

John frowned slightly, pondering her answer just now.

"I didn’t expect this game to actually have closed beta players. I wonder whether she was part of the first batch or the second batch.

"And what privileges do these closed beta players have?

"Could it be the Worldwalker talent?"

Question after question surfaced in John’s mind, leaving him utterly puzzled.

After thinking for a long time, John eventually gave up on digging too deeply into it for now. Just as the other party had said, before he could understand the answers to certain questions, he first needed the corresponding strength. Otherwise, even if he knew the answers, he would have no way to truly verify them.

"I should focus on the present."

John’s attention returned to the editing panel on the third layer.

The rules of this third layer were more or less the same as those of the second layer. Both required him to leave behind a projection here. In other words, the main framework of the rules could not be changed, but the details could still be modified.

John chose to directly release his own projection on the third layer.

Next came the process of modifying the corresponding rules based on what he knew about projections.

After temporarily setting up his projection, John’s eyes flickered.

A few bold ideas suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Perhaps I can prohibit the use of the Law of Sealing in this place.

"After all, there definitely isn’t only one closed beta player like that woman. And others will surely enter the third layer of the Holy Grail Space later than me.

"For closed beta players, possessing the power of the Law of Sealing shouldn’t be difficult."

The first rule was quickly established. John used this rule to completely cut off the possibility of anyone later using the power of the Law of Sealing in this place.

Then came the second rule. After thinking for a moment, John directly changed it to: "No equipment or items may be worn or used in this place."

Once this rule was established, any player who wanted to enter this place in the future would have to obediently remove all of their equipment.

For many players, once they lost their equipment, their combat power would plummet. It would be even more impossible for them to defeat a projection with such high base attributes.

After setting these two rules, John was still not satisfied.

He then went on to set additional rules: skills could not be used in this place, and shifting was also prohibited.

With these four rules combined, the third layer instantly became a brutal close-quarters battlefield where only one side could survive.

When the time came, this third layer would probably become a nightmare for all mage and archer players.

"Without equipment and without skills, all ranged players are directly stripped of their means of survival. They can only use their own weaknesses to fight against my projection.

"In addition, banning the Law of Sealing also prevents anyone from exploiting a loophole to invalidate the rules.

"These rules interlock with one another and restrain one another. They’re simply perfect."

John was extremely satisfied with the rules he had established.

Just then, several notification sounds rang beside his ears.

[This Holy Grail Space challenge record has ended. Rewards are now being calculated!]

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained the SSS-grade divine artifact: Heaven-Splitting War God Armor!]

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained the SSS-grade exclusive skill: Myriad Gods’ Shadow Hunt!]

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained the SSS-grade talent: Space-Time Plunder!]

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained the SSS-grade one-time item: Multiversal Amplification Runestone!]

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained Holy Grail Origin x22!]

[Congratulations, player. You have obtained Divine Class Points x300!]

At first, John did not react much to the rewards. He already had far too many talents and pieces of equipment. He did not care about them at all.

But when he heard the later rewards—the one-time item Multiversal Amplification Runestone, the Holy Grail Origin, and the Divine Class Points—his expression finally changed.

"I didn’t expect these rewards to drop. Interesting."

He immediately began to inspect them. With a flip of his hand, a silver-gold runestone appeared in his palm.

He cast Detect on it.

The information related to the runestone was displayed before him.

[Multiversal Amplification Runestone]

[SSS-grade one-time item]

[Attributes]: All Attributes +100%, Absolute True Damage amplification +80%, divine class damage bonus +100%

[Effect]: After use, lasts for 30 minutes. All talent effects are doubled, skills can be released with no cooldown, and the user becomes immune to all law suppression and negative statuses.

"To think it has such a miraculous effect."

After reading the description, John was somewhat shaken.

He had never seen such a powerful effect before. If he could attach it to any enhancement-type equipment, that piece of equipment would probably instantly become something beyond SSS grade.

"Not bad. Not bad at all. I’ll keep it for now. Once I find a more suitable piece of equipment in the future, I’ll directly install it onto that."

John put away the runestone. Then his gaze fell on the Holy Grail Origin in his storage.

He already knew what Divine Class Points were.

But this Origin was something he had obtained for the first time. John immediately opened the detailed information panel to check it.

[Holy Grail Origin]

[SSS-grade rare resource]

[Attributes]: Permanently increases all attributes by 50,000; divine class compatibility +20%

[Effect]: Can increase the proficiency of any divine class. It can also be used to temper the Holy Grail itself and unlock high-level divine power authority.

"It can actually advance a divine class, and it can even allow the Holy Grail to obtain divine power ahead of time."

After reading the description of the Origin, John was even more shocked.

He suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the Holy Grail Space this time. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After all, divine power was not something ordinary people could obtain. Generally speaking, only after truly becoming a High God could one acquire some through leveling up.

He had not expected that he would gain the possibility of mastering it so soon.

John did not hesitate for long. He used the Holy Grail Origin on the Holy Grail.

After all, things like divine classes could be evolved using Divine Class Points, but the Holy Grail was not something just anyone could evolve.

The moment he used it, a notification sounded beside John’s ears.

[You have used Holy Grail Origin. The Holy Grail has obtained the divine power: "All-Realm Insight"!]

[All-Realm Insight]

[Divine Power]

[Attributes]: Expands perception range across all domains; greatly enhances cross-realm detection ability.

[Effect]: Allows the user to clearly perceive the strength of universes in other planes, while also carrying out reverse surveillance on the target.

...

After seeing the effect of this divine power, John was completely stunned. He had not expected it to be able to observe strength from other universes.

Did that not mean he could even observe people from parallel universes?

"Hiss... what awakened this time is truly extraordinary!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, John directly activated the divine power of the Holy Grail that he had just obtained.
