Awakening a New Balder Ability
Two hours later...
After this period of time, Su Yao finally figured out what this ability was all about.
The main reason was that there was no one else around, so he didn't realize something was wrong.
It wasn't until, after all this time, that he inadvertently saw someone passing by speaking a language he couldn't understand, that he realized something in a daze.
He could actually understand what that person was saying! The words that person was saying were clearly not English, but he understood them! In fact, after Su Yao, disguised, stepped forward and greeted the other person, the person could even understand what he said.
At this moment, Su Yao almost suddenly realized what the Divine Word were.
After some testing, he discovered that he could not only understand languages from various countries, but also that they could inexplicably understand what he was saying. He could even understand the meaning behind animal sounds.
However, because the animal's thoughts are too simple, all he hears are very simple words like eating, being hungry, and wanting to sleep.
In addition, his voice seemed to have become more pleasant and mysterious, exuding a sense of enigma.
Su Yao was quite surprised by this.
To say this ability is useless, it certainly seems pointless; but to say it's useful, it is indeed very useful.
Under the power of Divine Word, language was no longer an obstacle for him! Of course, although he understood what Divine Word were all about, he still felt confused.
In the dim corner, Su Yao stared at Balder's panel, bewildered.
[Ability: Divine Word (70/100) Level 1]
"Level 1?"
In his opinion, this so-called Divine Word should already be at its maximum level. He had tested it with many languages and could even understand dialects.
This is practically a max-level passive skill, yet it's only at level one? Su Yao couldn't help but feel confused and curious.
What would happen if it continued to rise? Would the sound become even more perfect and mysterious? Su Yao frowned slightly, feeling that it wouldn't be that simple.
This feeling came not only from his intuition but also from his common sense.
It was obvious that Thor and Loki wouldn't know this Divine Word, Su Yao guessed that this ability likely came from Balder in the true mythology...
"Uh, no, if it's just a level one effect Divine Word, Thor and Loki might..."
Su Yao remembered that Thor in the comics was fluent in the languages of various countries, and others would automatically understand what he said.
As for the real Thor, Su Yao wasn't sure if he would be like that since he hadn't paid much attention.
Of course, this is only the effect of level one Divine Word. Clearly, there are four levels above it, and their effects will certainly be far more extensive and far more complex than what they appear to be! At the very least, they are abilities that combine with the true mythical power of Balder ...
As he pondered, Su Yao couldn't help but consider some possibilities.
In his memory, the words spoken by gods in mythology generally carried a mysterious power, especially curses uttered in hatred and anger, which often came true...
Especially when cursing mortals, it is almost always effective. Many stories about mortals begin with curses uttered by gods.
In addition to curses, there are also effects similar to blessings, such as possessing the power of beauty, in which case the deity can bestow beauty upon the recipient...
Some mortals, through the blessing of the gods, can even borrow a bit of the power of that god's authority...
Su Yao's eyes flickered.
"Could it be that these effects come with the upgrade of the Divine Word?"
If that's really the case, then the new ability of Divine Word is not as simple as he thought; it's a very mysterious passive ability exclusive to the gods! At this moment, Su Yao couldn't help but look forward to the effects of the enhanced Divine Word.
What made him feel best was that as long as he uttered a complete sentence, the Divine Word would automatically accumulate experience!
"Unbelievable..." Su Yao murmured.
[Divine Word Experience +1]
This speed of ascent is almost comparable to Levitation Flight!
This could very well be another ability that's been upgraded to level five first!
Unable to resist, Su Yao temporarily ignored the remaining 17,000 Energy Points and decided to focus his attention on the Divine Word first, and deal with Balder's Unlock Progress later.
The next moment, amidst Venom's confused and astonished expression, he began to silently recite the multiplication table—utter nonsense.
"One times one equals one, one times two equals two..."
[Divine Word Experience +1]
[Divine Word Experience +1]
As Su Yao muttered nonsense, it felt as if countless flies were buzzing around Venom's ears, like a mantra being chanted, making Venom's head spin and almost making him think that Su had lost his mind.
Before Venom could even ask, Su Yao heard a notification sound.
[Divine Word Experience +1]
[Ability: Divine Word (0/500) Level 2]
The moment the notification sound appeared, Su Yao noticed that the voice he spoke had changed, becoming more profound and mysterious, like the words of a true deity.
Besides that, there was something slightly different about how he spoke, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
"The second level isn't showing up yet?" Su Yao frowned slightly.
Without thinking too much, he continued practicing.
Divine Word's experience points keep increasing...
After a while, the notification sound rang again.
[Divine Word Experience +1]
[Ability: Divine Word (0/1000) Level 3]
Almost instantly, Su Yao sensed the difference.
At that moment, in his keen perception, he felt that the words he spoke carried a special rhythm.
This feeling was very special, and Su Yao couldn't quite describe it.
Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily fell upon the bewildered Venom, and a thought suddenly struck him: he would test Venom with it.
The next second, he spoke a sentence to Venom.
"I bless you, may light always be with you..."
The words, profound, mysterious, and melodious, with their unique rhythm, echoed around us, subtly connecting us to something.
Venom looked around to make sure he didn't see anyone else, and looked completely bewildered, wondering what Su was doing.
"Were you saying that to me?"
Just as Venom was wondering what was going on, a sudden change occurred!
Originally, this was a dark and secluded corner, a place Su Yao temporarily chose to test his abilities; it shouldn't have been exposed to sunlight...
But as he finished speaking, Su Yao suddenly noticed that the area around the Venom had become brighter.
Just like sunlight and photons, they actively converged around Venom, as the Divine Word said, light was always with him...
Venom looked completely bewildered.
