Had Divine Power Strengthened the Power of All Your Poison-type Moves?
About an incense stick later, nourished by the triple recovery skills of "Ingrain," "Synthesis," and "Grassy Terrain," Lin Xia's depleted Soul Power, like a dried-up riverbed receiving sweet rain, began to flow again.
Although he was still far from being at his peak, the suffocating weakness and dizziness had subsided considerably, and his limbs had regained their strength.
The flower buds on Ivysaur's back regained their full luster, and its scarlet eyes shone brightly.
Lin Xia got up from the Limber bed, stretched her still slightly sore muscles, and then her gaze fell on the Ivysaur by the window.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window lattice, gilding its dark green body with a warm golden edge, while the faint, flowing dark purple halo around the edge of the flower bud appeared Outer Gods under the golden light.
Lin Xia walked to the Ivysaur, squatted down, and curiously stretched out her finger, carefully tapping a few times on the purple patterns that emitted strange fluctuations.
A cool sensation came from my fingertips, as if I were touching not flower petals, but some kind of crystal containing profound energy.
Lin Xia could sense a powerful and obscure force lurking beneath the patterns, intertwined with the life force of the Ivysaur itself, yet carrying a completely different sense of chaos and devouring.
"Ivysaur".
Lin Xia's voice carried a hint of inquiry.
"That divine power... that power injected by the god, how are you feeling now? What specific effect does it have on your body? Are you experiencing any discomfort?"
Upon hearing Ivysaur lowered its head slightly, allowing Lin Xia to see the patterns on its flower bud more clearly.
It closed its eyes, seemingly sensing the newly generated power within its body, the power belonging to the Rakshasa God.
A few seconds later, it opened its scarlet eyes and let out a low, rhythmic cry.
"Da na... da na da na... da na!"
The voice conveyed a clear message.
Lin Xia deciphered it instantly.
"You mean... this divine power mainly enhanced the power of all your Poison-type moves? The penetrability, potency, and Corrosion of the toxins have been significantly improved? Other specific effects... are not yet clear, and will need to be experienced gradually in battle?"
"Da na!"
Ivysaur nodded its big head affirmatively, its eyes showing a hint of excitement for its new power, as well as a hint of bewilderment at the unknown.
"The power of Poison-type attacks has been comprehensively enhanced..."
Lin Xia stroked her chin, her brows slightly furrowed.
This effect is indeed powerful, and it's like adding wings to a tiger for Ivysaur, whose core moves are Grass-type and Poison-type.
But... that's the Rakshasa God!
A god representing chaos, evil, and devouring!
Is the power He bestows truly so "simple"?
Just to enhance Ivysaur's Poison-type abilities?
Lin Xia felt that things weren't that simple.
The entry of divine power into the body inevitably brings deeper effects. Perhaps it subtly transforms the physique, perhaps it plants some Frisk seed, perhaps... it will influence Ivysaur's temperament?
In the original work, the corrosive power of the Rakshasa Divine Power was extremely strong.
Lin Xia stared at the eerie purple halo around the flower bud, a lingering sense of unease settling in her heart.
But then, he shook his head self-deprecatingly.
'What's the point of thinking so much now? I'm only level 24. In the eyes of a god, I'm probably not even an ant. If He really wants to do something, I don't even have the right to resist.'
Instead of worrying unnecessarily and adding to my troubles, I should focus on improving my skills! Skills are fundamental. As for the future, I'll leave that to my future self!
With her doubts dispelled, Lin Xia's gaze hardened.
With a thought, he took out the Spirit Bone from the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger from his Storage Soul Tool Ring.
The pale white crystalline skull lay quietly in Lin Xia's palm. It was icy to the touch, yet it emanated a powerful and resilient Psywave. Inside the crystal, it seemed as if a ghostly green flame was burning silently, faintly revealing the oppressive force of a tiger's roar.
This is Head Spirit Bone, and an extremely rare, top-tier Spirit Bone that perfectly matches the Mental Attribute!
"The second Spirit Bone..."
Lin Xia looked at this priceless treasure and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Obtaining two Spirit Bones in such a short time was incredibly lucky, making him wonder if he really had some kind of hidden "lucky aura".
Lin Xia smiled.
"If word got out, countless Soul Masters would be green with envy, right? What a pity, it's just Thousand-Year Soul Bone."
Lin Xia weighed the Spirit Bone in her hand, and had already made up her mind.
Although this Spirit Bone is of high quality, its age is too young.
While absorbing it may bring significant improvement, it represents a huge waste of one's future potential.
Lin Xia needs a higher-age and more powerful Spirit Bone as the foundation for her head Soul Ring.
"Let's put it away for now and see if we find something more suitable in the future, or..."
Just as Lin Xia was about to put the Spirit Bone back into the ring...
"Da na!"
The Ivysaur, which had been quietly waiting to the side, instantly Lock-On its scarlet eyes on the pale white crystal in Lin Xia's hand and let out a low, Covet cry!
Before Lin Xia could even react, a thick and agile Vine Whip shot out with lightning speed and wrapped around the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger's Head Spirit Bone with extreme precision!
"Ivysaur?!"
Lin Xia was taken aback, completely unprepared for Ivysaur to suddenly react so strongly to the Spirit Bone.
Lin Xia subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but saw that Ivysaur had already carefully retracted its Vine Whip and held the Spirit Bone that emitted a cold, eerie glow in front of its huge flower bud.
Bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun and under Lin Xia's astonished gaze, Ivysaur did something completely unexpected—
It lowered its head slightly, its flower buds tilting forward, as if performing some ancient ritual.
Ivysaur manipulated its Vine Whip, slowly and steadily placing the pale white Spirit Bone in the center of its broad forehead, which was covered with tough scales!
A very faint click... like jade fitting together.
The pale white Spirit Bone seemed to be activated the moment it touched the skin on Ivysaur's forehead!
The eerie green light flowing across its surface suddenly shone brightly, creating a strange resonance with the dark purple halo left by the Rakshasa Divine Power at the edge of the Ivysaur flower bud, emitting a faint hum.
Even more astonishingly, the Spirit Bone seemed to possess a life of its own, with its edges beginning to "soften," extend, and deform!
The hard, bony structure, like flowing liquid metal, tightly adhered to the contours of Ivysaur's forehead, quickly spreading and enveloping it to the sides and back of the head!
In just a few breaths, a strange Bone Headgear had taken shape!
This helmet is a deep, pale white, like solidified moonlight, or perhaps the meticulously crafted skeleton of some giant beast.
It perfectly covers Ivysaur's entire head, extending from the forehead all the way to the back of the neck.
In the center of the forehead is the core soul bone. At this moment, it is like a gem inlaid in the center of a crown. The green light flows slowly in it, outlining a vague but majestic shadow of the word "king", exuding cold and powerful spiritual pressure.
