Besides the most important Miracle Trait, "Replication," the Steel Feather Cloak's other equipment effects have also undergone tremendous changes. The number of particles has increased more than tenfold, the Concealment trait has been greatly enhanced, and the energy system has been greatly optimized, capable of storing energy comparable to that of High-Rank Demigod. Although this energy cannot be compared to that of High-Rank Demigod in terms of quality, it is at least enough to support Lancelot's endurance for a longer period of time.
And when these improvements translated into combat power, Lancelot's strength unknowingly experienced another leap forward.
Even without the Infinity Scale Armor, he can now fight against Mid-Rank Demigod.
Wearing the Infinity Scale Armor, one can even briefly engage in combat with High-Rank Demigod.
Of course, this is on the premise that the High-Rank Demigod did not use Demigod.
In reality, Legend quality Demigod are rare, but High-Rank Demigod can still manage to acquire one or two Rare quality Demigod- divine artifacts.
Some High-Rank Demigod with deep foundations are equipped with five or six Rare Demigod, armed to the teeth. Such strong individuals are beyond Lancelot's current ability to provoke, although they probably can't kill him either.
The first round of upgrades is complete.
The Steel Feather Cloak has successfully advanced to Five-Star Miracle.
Lancelot began preparing for his second promotion.
But before that, he needs to acquire more Primeval Stone.
Although there were still 1,500 Primeval Stone left in the World Furnace, it wasn't enough for his next upgrade.
Fortunately, Lancelot was prepared.
The surprise that was initially prepared for the City of Freedom should be brought out and let these dark Mage taste it.
In order to complete the upgrade of the Steel Feather Cloak, Lancelot retrieved all eleven of his previous clones, allowing their essence and blood to return and their particles to flow back.
Now that the Steel Feather Cloak has been upgraded, it's time to send out a clone once again.
However, this is different from before.
The last time Lancelot sent out his clones was for battle, and they needed to be nearly invincible below the Epic, which is why he only created eleven clones.
Is it because he can't divide it any more?
Of course not.
In theory, Lancelot can channel his power into any single particle that makes up the Steel Feather Cloak, creating Infinity number of clones.
In practice, it's obviously impossible to do it that way, otherwise Lancelot would be the first to die, because his mental and spiritual level is far from being able to control so many clones.
Even if it's just temporary control, it won't work.
Logo can do things that Lancelot cannot, after all, their soul structures are completely different, not to mention, Logo also has terrifying computing power to support him.
However, this time the situation is significantly different from before.
Lancelot doesn't need to give his clones much combat power; in fact, the less cost they incur, the better. After all, these clones are human bombs, with no chance of return.
The Steel Feather Cloak can transform into particle form, making it immune to explosions. It can also split into flesh and blood. Once it dies, it is equivalent to Lancelot losing a large amount of his life essence.
Under such circumstances, Lancelot only used seventeen drops of his essence blood, which is about three percent of his total essence blood. Even if he were to perish completely, the loss would be within an acceptable range.
As drops of essence blood were injected into the light cluster formed by the particles, Lancelot reappeared in his youthful form.
He took out the prepared 'surprise bombs' from his storage space—each a multi-faceted crystal with distinct edges and corners.
No more, no less, exactly seventeen.
Corresponding to the seventeen five-star Mage towers of the City of Freedom.
Thanks to Gustavo, Lancelot probably knew more about the City of Freedom's non-top-secret intelligence than most dark Mage.
With the dark Mage forced into what they considered an impregnable five-star Mage tower, Lancelot's entire scheme was finally completed and was nearing its end!
Next, it won't be a case of slowly boiling a frog anymore.
Instead, they'll unleash the cannons and blast his mother!
Use the most brutal methods to kill these dark Mage!
Since each clone was weak, Lancelot activated the [Realm of Disillusionment] Rune Array for them. As a hazy halo enveloped them, the multifaceted crystal seemed to disappear without a trace.
That wasn't all. From the surface of the seventeen clones, a large number of golden particles flew out, covering the multifaceted crystal and making it invisible while Infinity reducing its presence.
Subsequently, aided by the upgraded Steel Feather Cloak, one by one, the clones carrying surprise bombs silently disappeared, merging into the space, shielding themselves from all perception, and rushing towards the Mage towers standing in various directions of the City of Freedom.
During this process, Lancelot also tried to use his senses to perceive the existence of the clone and the multifaceted crystal, but if he were not the owner of the Steel Feather Cloak, he would not have been able to perceive their existence.
It's important to know that Lancelot is skilled in close combat, and his close-range perception is no weaker than that of Demigod. But even so, in his perception, there was nothing but a hazy void around him, let alone those dark Mage. They couldn't possibly find any clues at all.
Moreover, unbeknownst to him, with the Steel Feather Cloak advancing to Five-Star Miracle, Lancelot had already gained the power to roam freely in the Elven Plane.
At least, no one can kill him now, not even the strongest Peak Demigod in the plane. From now on, Lancelot, like Logo who has awakened Soul Informatization and can upload his soul to a higher-dimensional information space at any time, is invincible!
The clones then proceed to the second round of harvesting.
Lancelot, meanwhile, began his second round of upgrades.
While 1,500 Primeval Stone weren't enough for him to upgrade all his abilities, they were enough to improve certain talents.
The World Furnace still hovered in mid-air, golden flames rising from within. Without hesitation, Lancelot leaped lightly into it.
The flames burned fiercely, engulfing his body.
Looking through his own information panel, one talent after another flashed before his eyes. Lancelot's gaze finally settled on a talent that he had accidentally acquired a long time ago due to his crazy training.
[Persevering Will] Passive -- Because of your strong willpower and resilient personality, you will be immune to some forms of mind control and charm.
This passive talent, which even took shape before he stepped into the realm of the Transcendent, is a veteran-level ability.
Initially, the effect was quite powerful, helping him quickly climb the rankings in the training camp and playing a significant role.
However, as Lancelot stepped into the Mid-Rank Transcendent realm, the effectiveness of his Tenacious Will began to decline sharply until it became useless and was completely relegated to the sidelines.
Lancelot is now focusing his attention on [Tenacious Will], and his intention is all too clear: he wants to improve this passive talent.
And it's not just about [Tenacious Will].
After reaching 31 points in the Spirit attribute, the Attribute Talent [Willpower Burst] will be awakened.
In the early stages, Lancelot plans to use Primeval Stone to enhance his abilities by combining [Star Swallowing Technique] to quickly digest potions, improve training effects, and utilize [Flow Method], a powerful development skill that significantly boosts combat strength.
The reason is quite simple.
The final boss, Soul Star Pillar Lord of the Free City, is a master in the study of souls.
If Lancelot wants to deal with this soul master who has long since advanced to the level of Mid-Rank Demigod, he needs at least a high level of resistance in that area, if not mastery of soul-based abilities.
Although the Infinity Scale Armor is a Legend Demigod armor, it is mainly used to defend against energy and physical attacks. While it can also resist damage to the soul and spirit, its effectiveness is greatly reduced.
Lancelot himself, although his soul strength far surpasses that of Transcendent powerhouses of the same life level, is still far from being able to directly face a soul master like the Lord of the Free City.
He's not like Logo, who can Soul Informatization and is directly immune to soul attacks.
It's not Gustavo either, who possesses the [Soul Devourer] talent, allowing him to increase his own soul strength by devouring the souls of other beings.
Speaking of Gustavo, Lancelot glanced at the 'unlucky kid' in the uncharted territory of the Astral Realm. When he saw Gustavo being relentlessly chased by a Void Behemoth, Lancelot couldn't help but laugh.
But when he sensed Gustavo's soul strength, his smile vanished, and he cursed him under his breath as a pervert.
Because the soul strength of this giant spider has actually soared to the peak of the Low-Rank Demigod level, it seems that it will soon break through to the Mid-Rank Demigod.
Not only that, even Gustavo's life rank has leaped significantly, not far from Demigod, clearly indicating that he has encountered another great opportunity.
Looking back at his own soul strength, Lancelot's mood worsened, and he became even more determined to improve his three major abilities.
Although I can't improve my soul strength, I can still increase my resistance.
With increased willpower, one can also resist soul attacks, at least preventing being instantly defeated, and that's enough.
Let's get started.
With a thought, Lancelot's [Tenacious Will] began to radiate golden light, its intensity rapidly increasing.
During Lancelot's second upgrade.
The City of Freedom, the Netherfire Mage Tower.
Belongs to a Epic Tier Two dark Mage, Netherfire Dilki.
The towering Mage tower, entirely black, exudes a chilling and desolate aura. Crimson-eyed Hell lie on all sides of the tower, their brutal gazes sweeping menacingly over Mage dark Mage queuing to enter. Had their master not given the order, these vicious hounds would have already pounced and torn them apart.
Lancelot's clone, now in Concealment mode, didn't even bother with disguise this time, swaggering directly into the Netherfire Mage Tower. The warning magic circle didn't react at all, and the Hell, usually so sensitive to their surroundings, didn't give the slightest warning.
The Five-Star Miracle Steel Feather Cloak —that's how awesome it is!
The clone successfully entered the Mage tower.
Gazing at the surging crowd, he expressionlessly activated the Rune Array on the surface of the multifaceted crystal, [Spatial Stasis].
In an instant, an invisible spatial ripple swept by, freezing each face with its own unique expression.
Above the dome, Elemental Magical Energy condensed, transforming into a gigantic face; Netherfire Dilchi's reaction was remarkably swift.
But it was already too late.
Boom!
The cursed bomb on the first floor exploded.
Countless crimson runes splattered like blood, landing on every dark Mage, seeping into their very bones, frantically reducing their resistances in all aspects, and causing a temporary state of mental frenzy.
Then, the second layer of antimatter bombs exploded.
As protons and antiprotons collided, the terrifying energy flow generated by the annihilation of matter instantly swept out, accompanied by countless crystal fragments.
Boom!
Like a sun falling on the Netherfire Mage Tower, the intense light spread like water to every corner, and the electromagnetic energy, like a raging Red Bull, instantly turned the black Mage, whose resistance had been weakened by the cursed bombs, into dust.
That's not all.
Lancelot, fearing that the dark Mage wouldn't die quickly enough and suffer too much pain, Human Dao arranged a third layer of fatal attack.
The electromagnetic energy flow generated after the antimatter bomb exploded became the perfect breeding ground for the hatching of Star-Roaming Insect.
In just a few seconds, a massive cloud of insects filled the entire Mage tower, devouring everything in its path.
After the triple kill, there was no living thing left in the entire Netherfire Mage Tower, only that blank and ashen face in the sky.
