Seeing the attributes of this equipment, Su Xiao felt, for some reason, that it was indescribably sinister. This gave him a new understanding of the equipment system in the late game.
The traditional system came first. For now, it stopped at the "Eternal Grade." If the traditional equipment system of the Paradise faction truly ended there, far too many things would be impossible to explain.
That was no longer a problem. The ??? Grade was above the "Eternal Grade." As for why the "Eternal Grade" was the highest grade in the traditional equipment system, that depended on the situation of the ??? Grade.
Apart from the traditional system, there were the three major systems: Abyssal, World, and Overlord.
Abyssal equipment was uncommon in the early and middle stages, and even in the late stage it seemed neither especially prominent nor weak. But in the far late game, as long as it was Abyssal equipment, it was either powerful to the extreme or sinister beyond belief.
Take the Grinning Ghost Mask, for example. The instant he saw it, Su Xiao felt as if he were faintly facing the Wild Growth of Madness, the Lord of the Old Days, and the Candle Woman. But it was only a feeling.
This made him suspect that this thing had very likely been left behind after a top-tier astral anomaly from the ancient era had fallen. It might even have been the handiwork of one of the three: the Wild Growth of Madness, the Lord of the Old Days, or the Candle Woman.
Afterward, during that battle that could only be called a catastrophe, the head of that astral anomaly had fallen into the Abyss. After several epochs of unrestrained enhancement by the Abyssal power, it had ultimately condensed until only this gray-white skin remained.
