Chapter 137 The Third Overlord-Level Secret Contract is Actually This?
A unique silver throne form that belongs only to oneself?
To be honest, when Xia Fa heard those words, his heart clenched, and he was extremely tempted.
According to the young miner, there are only a handful of beings in this world who have signed the Silver Throne, a supreme-level secret pact.
However, Xia Fa was still happy to be able to distinguish himself from them and keep his abilities confidential in terms of intelligence.
"Of course, this requires you to try and study it slowly on your own. You may fail many times, but the benefits you will gain after you succeed will be enormous."
Dick's voice, tinged with laughter, rang out. Even though he was quite far away from Xia Fa, Xia Fa could still smell the alcohol on him.
Dick Tudor took another sip of his drink, casually wiped the liquid from the corner of his mouth, and then continued:
"Because I have never signed the Silver Throne and the Star Gate, two of the most powerful secret contracts, my specific advice on how to integrate and develop them is that I don't know what to do either. As I said at the beginning, I have never signed the Silver Throne and the Star Gate, two of the most powerful secret contracts."
Xiafa: —
Is he drunk?
But something's not right. Can a being of the Dominator rank get drunk?
Xia Fa chuckled inwardly, but could only purse his lips:
"Okay, I understand."
Dick waved his hand, about to say something, but suddenly, he stopped holding the wine bottle and turned his head slightly toward the palace entrance, as if listening.
In that instant, his eyes, which had been blurry with drunkenness, suddenly became bright and alert, as if the drunken young man from before was not the same person at all.
"An old friend has come to visit me, so I can't keep you here any longer. It wouldn't be good if we were seen together."
Dick Tudor turned around, seemingly relieved, and casually took a sip of whiskey, saying:
"And one more thing, you must remember: if you want to explore the Protoss Realm, before you become a demigod, never reveal that you've signed two overlord-level secret agreements. As for the real world... well, it's up to you. Anyway, with the nine great gods around, those unknown beings wouldn't dare approach the real world."
Xia Fa slightly smiled, because the young miner had said the same thing to Dick Tudor.
If Dictator, this extraordinary monarch, can be trusted, then the young miner's credibility seems to have increased considerably.
However, the young miner was too mysterious. He claimed to be the younger brother of the "storyteller" and was in the dark space that superhumans would fall into when signing secret contracts. He seemed anything but simple, and Xia Fa dared not be careless.
"Alright, is there anything else you want to ask? You have one more question to ask. If not, I can give you a ride. You can go anywhere you want within the territory of the Augu Kingdom."
Dictator smiled and spoke, still casually leaning against the Roman-style column in the palace, his gaze fixed on Xiafa.
Xia Fa thought for a moment and then said:
"What is the fundamental secret technique?"
This is something he has never found in "The Mystical Exploration Record of the Fog Man", "Secret Texts and Divination" or other mystical books.
However, precisely when both the high-level secret contract of the Ether Source and the overlord-level secret contract of the Silver Throne were understood,
He obtained the original secret techniques.
Coincidentally, Dick Tudor had mentioned this before, which is why Xia Fa asked this question.
Dick Tudor spoke almost without thinking:
"It's very simple. What extraordinary individuals call 'complete understanding' of a particular secret text—whether it's an ordinary secret text, a high-level secret text, or a hegemon-level secret text—is actually still somewhat lacking in complete comprehension. For example, there will always be a few secret texts they cannot understand."
"In this situation, although it is still possible to sign another secret contract, and the risk of losing control is not very high, there will be some losses. As for the losses, they will naturally be the original secret techniques corresponding to each of the secret contracts."
"Only by thoroughly understanding all the secret texts on the secret contract can one obtain the corresponding original secret technique."
"For example, the basic Assassin's Pact grants you fundamental secret techniques such as 'Psychological Stealth,' 'Shadow Stealth,' and 'Deadly Strike,' which are normally only available on advanced pacts."
"There are about ten basic secret techniques in a normal secret contract, while there are one hundred in a high-level secret contract. However, a superhuman can only obtain one technique from a single secret contract."
Xia Fa nodded thoughtfully.
He had never encountered a situation where he couldn't understand the secret text on the contract, but it seemed that this was a very common phenomenon in the extraordinary world.
After all, neither the demigods like Tyrene nor Chestnut Fensny had ever mentioned the existence of the Origin Technique to him.
It's estimated that they've never received one.
They might not even know about this occult knowledge.
Dick Tudor concluded by adding:
"According to the righteous god [First History], while the abilities of each overlord-level secret contract are fixed, their original secret techniques are different, and there are a full thousand of them! However, extraordinary individuals can only obtain one of them, and it seems to be purely random, so—..."
A sly smile appeared on his face:
"You can absolutely use the original secret techniques of your Silver Throne as your trump card. After all, there are only a handful of people in history who have signed the Silver Throne, and it's impossible for them to be able to count all one thousand original secret techniques of the Silver Throne."
Xia Fa listened attentively, his eyes sparkling.
There are actually a full thousand different origin techniques corresponding to each of the overlord-level secret contracts.
Then it seems that my [Judgment Silver Sun] can really be considered a hidden trump card.
In that case, the original secret technique [Holy Spirit Crystal] that I obtained from the advanced secret contract of the Ether Source is probably unique.
No, that's not right. The Ether Source is just a high-level secret contract. There must have been quite a few people who signed it throughout history. After all, there are so many life-bearing planets in the universe, and there are only one hundred original secret techniques corresponding to the Ether Source. They have probably all been counted long ago.
Of course, only beings of angelic rank or higher could obtain and understand this level of intelligence.
On the other hand, it seems impossible for the enemy to guess what the specific secret technique of his Ether Source is, which can be considered a hidden killing move.
"This knowledge is truly invaluable," Xia Fa said, raising his head to look at Dikto, and said quite sincerely.
Thank you.
Dick waved his hand casually:
"Why are you being so polite with me? Just help me get that thing from Pompeii, haha. But you also need to be careful and don't push yourself."
Xia Fa solemnly hummed in agreement, indicating that he would remember, and then said:
"Could you take me back to the Mist God's Hunting Grounds?"
Dick Tudor smiled slightly:
"certainly."
The moment he finished speaking, a rainbow bridge appeared in front of Xia Fa.
The rainbow bridge, which was originally a refreshing color like the sky after the rain, almost immediately turned bloody, with countless skulls and bone claws appearing and hanging precariously by the bridge, as if they would fall at any moment.
"Go ahead, my old friend is almost here too."
Fortunately, Xia Fa had already witnessed how the beach castle could transform from a fairytale-like beauty into a gloomy, ghostly place, so this time she was much more accustomed to it and walked onto the blood-stained rainbow bridge in just a few steps.
As he walked, his figure suddenly disappeared on the rainbow bridge, and the rainbow bridge collapsed into specks of light.
Qiga-yi-yi!
The sound of the wooden door being pushed open echoed through the empty palace, making one's teeth ache.
Patriarch Osius entered.
The patriarch of the Silver Church, who was second only to God, had a face full of wrinkles that seemed to be preoccupied. He didn't even glance at Dicket when he walked in, as if he was thinking about something.
Dick Tudor walked over with a smile on his face, casually tossed the empty whiskey bottle he had just finished drinking on the ground, and picked up a bottle of vodka.
With a "pop," the ebony cork of the vodka was popped open, and he was just about to take a big gulp...
Patriarch Osius then suddenly looked over.
"What's wrong? You've been drinking so much, are you thinking about those things again?"
Dick paused briefly while pouring the wine, glancing at Patriarch Osius, but didn't answer before continuing to gulp it down.
He drank half a bottle in one go.
Patriarch Osius sighed softly, hesitated, and ultimately decided not to discuss the topic, instead asking:
"Do you possess a supreme-level secret covenant, the Silver Throne? I'd like to represent our Silver Church and offer three million gold pounds to purchase it from you. [The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.]"
"Three million gold coins? Since when can a supreme-level secret contract be measured by price?"
Patriarch Osius raised a slight brow:
"That future extraordinary monarch who appeared in the Mist God Hunting Grounds and signed the Silver Throne, is he related to you, isn't he?"
Dick Tudor suddenly realized what was happening and sat up abruptly:
"Old fox, were you testing me just now?"
A mischievous smile, incongruous with his advanced age, appeared on Patriarch Osius's lips:
"So, does this mean you're indirectly admitting it?"
Dick Tudor shook his head like a stubborn mule:
"I don't know."
Patriarch Osius became alarmed upon seeing his attitude:
"Quick, tell me! If other churches recruit them, how am I supposed to take responsibility if Lord Silver Universe blames us? They're extraordinary individuals who signed the Silver Throne!"
Dick Tudor still maintains a tough, unyielding attitude:
"Who told you to try and trick me? I don't know anything, haha. Besides, do you think your Silver Church can compete with the Absolute Church? I've always heard the rumors that the strongest of the nine righteous gods, the [Absolute Defense], has also signed the Silver Throne, a hegemonic-level secret pact, right?"
When Patriarch Osius saw that he refused to speak, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
Snapped!
Dick Tudor's half-empty bottle of whiskey suddenly exploded, spilling the whiskey all over him, but the glass shards disappeared in mid-air.
Dick Tudor was suddenly startled, as if he had sobered up, and angrily said:
"Old Hammer, you one."
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Not far behind him, next to the platinum throne, on a long table laden with various fine wines, bottles of expensive liquor burst open one after another.
Dick's face was contorted with heartache. He had initially wanted to stop them, but suddenly deflated like a limp ox, and lay down on the sofa in a cowardly manner.
"I can't beat you anyway, so whatever, I'm not saying anything. Also, you have to buy me back all the wine you wasted!"
Mist God Hunting Grounds, Southwest District.
The broad, heart-shaped leaves, as wide as door panels, overlapped and rested on the crisscrossing vines and branches in the air.
The vines and branches are like the skeleton of the house, while the broad leaves become the brick walls, interdependently forming a verdant house.
Xiafa is located in this natural plant house, where he has just been sown with live iron powder.
This plant house has no entrance and is completely hidden from the outside by dense bushes and ancient trees that are thousands of meters tall.
He happened to appear here when he came down from the Rainbow Bridge. It's unclear whether Dick Tudor did it on purpose, but it made things convenient for him, as he no longer needed to find those towering trees to make tree holes.
Previously, in Dick Tudor's palace, time was a bit tight, and he hadn't had time to examine the specific details of the two secret abilities of the newly acquired Star Gate.
Now, I finally have time to calm down and take a good look.
With a thought, Xia Fa's knowledge of the relevant secret abilities in his memory automatically surfaced in a form he could understand.
[Starry Body]
[The core secret ability of the Gate of Stars: After use, the body will merge with the starlight of the stars, gaining five abilities: "Teleport," "Starlight," "Exile," "Seal," and "Archery Power."]
[Flash: Appears anywhere in space within a certain range, the size of which depends on rank or status]
[Starlight: When attacked, the body can disintegrate into starlight, thus avoiding most attacks.]
[Exile: Exiles the enemy into the Protoss realm. After reaching the demigod level, the exile can extend to the cosmos. The higher the rank or level, the deeper the exile.]
[Sealing: Using the power of the stars, seal the target. Once you reach the Dominator rank, you can choose to seal the target inside a planet.]
[Gravity: Manipulate the gravity of all things in the world to launch unexpected attacks. The higher the rank or position, the greater the gravitational coefficient that can be manipulated.]
"this--
Xia Fagang was utterly shaken when he finished reading it.
Originally, after signing the overlord-level secret contract with the Lord of the Stars, the process of obtaining the contract's abilities was so gentle and peaceful that he subconsciously felt that the Lord of the Stars was probably inferior to the Silver Throne.
But now, Xia Fa realizes that he was wrong, terribly wrong.
At this moment, he could only sincerely exclaim, "Truly worthy of being a hegemon-level secret contract!"
Whether it's the Silver Throne or the Gate of Stars, they truly deserve the title of overlord in the Secret Pact!
Although the three abilities of banishment, sealing, and gravity are not something he can do now, whether it's banishing a target to the depths of the Protoss Realm, sealing it inside a planet, or manipulating gravity to attract meteorites, they all require at least a demigod level.
However, the abilities Flash and Star Power can greatly make up for his current shortcomings!
The Silver Throne is indeed extremely domineering and powerful, but it lacks flexibility. The Star Silver Charge is primarily used for offense.
It's not very useful for dodging.
After all, when the body sways from side to side, the steam propulsion emitted from the exhaust vents on the back will actually affect the effectiveness of dodging.
Now, the ability to teleport perfectly makes up for his weakness!
As for the "Starlight" ability, needless to say, it is an ultimate life-saving technique. It's just unknown whether it can evade elemental or telekinetic abilities.
Moreover, the [Starry Body] and [Rhine Silver Mercury] can be fused together, primarily in the form of the Silver Throne. Once the fusion is successful, what incredible secret abilities will be generated?
Xia Fa was overjoyed and immediately looked at the [Bending Manipulation] ability, one of the overlord-level secret contracts of the Gate of Stars, which he had heard about from the fat boss before.
[Bending Maneuver]
Using the bend manipulation, space within a target area can be bent and distorted; the effect depends on rank or position.
Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. This introduction was so simple?
It seems to be a secret ability that needs to be gradually understood and developed.
He thought for a moment, then immediately tried it out, raising his hand to grasp a small pebble on the reddish-brown soil not far ahead.
The two sides of the pebble immediately "bent over", but otherwise there was no change.
As soon as Xia Fa let go, the pebble returned to its original state.
He pondered for a moment, seemingly realizing something, and then hooked the pebble with one hand.
Drawn by gravity, the pebble flew straight toward his chest. At that moment, Xia Fa patted himself on the shoulder.
A miraculous scene unfolded: his head and lower body, including his legs, remained still, but his chest suddenly "bent" to the left.
At first glance, it looked as if he had become a rubber man, with his feet and head fixed in place, but his chest being pulled open to the left by an external force.
The pebble missed his chest and passed right through the gap created by the bend.
"Interesting," Xia Fa's eyes lit up as he discovered that this [bending manipulation] seemed to have many wonderful uses.
He turned around and saw the pebble land on the damp, reddish-brown soil. He then raised his hand and aimed at the pebble.
This time, Xia Fa suddenly squeezed from a distance, squeezing with particular force.
The space around the pebble suddenly made a "creaking" sound, and then the two sides of the pebble suddenly bent inward, as if two invisible fists had slammed into it.
Almost instantly, cracks appeared on the surface of the pebble, as if it could not withstand the pressure.
pat!
Finally, the pebble shattered completely.
Xia Fa withdrew his hand, nodded thoughtfully.
Judging from this, if the ability to bend and manipulate space is bent to a certain extent, it will still damage the things within that space.
This made him realize that he should never bend his body too much when trying to dodge attacks in the future.
Xia Fa raised his head again and looked at the living iron powder filling the air in this naturally formed plant room.
He casually reached out and pinched at the air, and the iron powder seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand, bending into different shapes and scattering in all directions.
Xia Fa nodded slightly, his eyes showing deep thought.
Based on the valuable knowledge gleaned from Pompeii and the mysterious sovereign during the last divination, scattering living iron powder, influencing the stability of space, and affecting the flow of time can completely disrupt divination at the sovereign level and below.
Now that I can influence the stability of space, can I buy a secret treasure or sealing artifact that affects the flow of time to achieve the same effect?
However, on second thought, it seems unnecessary.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask Dick Tudor, how many different abilities does the Star Gate, this overlord-level secret contract, have in total?"
Xia Fa suddenly thought of this and became a little curious.
He had just signed the Silver Throne and immediately gained five corresponding secret abilities.
This time, after signing the Stargate agreement, they only received two types of benefits.
Does this mean that there are less than ten types of secret abilities corresponding to the Gate of Stars?
How many kinds are there? Three kinds? Five kinds?
Three types are too few; Xia Fa estimates there should be around five.
Furthermore, there is another possibility, which is what he just thought of when he recalled the interference: [Time Concealment].
Although he didn't manage to obtain this secret ability this time, Xia Fa wasn't in a hurry. As long as he made progress in understanding the Gate of Stars, he would eventually get it.
He was quite curious and wanted to know exactly what the [Time Concealment] ability was like.
Therefore, Xia Fa decided to simply stop buying any time-related treasures or sealing items.
Disrupting the stability of space is very simple; even a demigod or whale-level being could do it easily. The only difference is the method of disruption. For example, Lieutenant General Bedivere could only violently shatter space.
Therefore, Xia Fa guessed that the reason why time-space treasures are expensive is probably because they can interfere with the flow of time. In this case, buying time-space treasures separately probably wouldn't be much cheaper.
After calming himself down, and seeing that it would still be a while before nightfall, Xia Fa thought for a moment and decided to strike while the iron was hot and start trying to fuse [Rhine Silver Mercury] and [Starlight Body] now!
He was really eager to see what his unique Silver Throne form would look like.
But at that moment, my brain suddenly started to throb, and my spiritual intuition became extremely unstable, fluctuating like the tide.
Xia Fa first presented a proof, then suddenly realized something.
He had been so caught up in a series of events that he had completely forgotten about this one of his own—the next secret agreement that was about to be signed!
His spiritual intuition suddenly started to twitch, and vague information surfaced in Xia Fa's mind.
"Mysterious Singularity"
"Mysterious Singularity"
"Mysterious Singularity"
Mysterious Singularity?
Xia Fa is mistaken; this—does not seem to be the name of a known overlord-level secret contract.
The seven known overlord-level secret contracts are: [Silver Throne], [Gate of the Stars], [Fairy Tale World], [Primordial Stomach], [Star Spirit Mage], [Conditions Forever], and [Formula Forge].
"Fortunately, it doesn't sound like an ordinary secret contract, so it's probably a high-level secret contract—"
Xia Fa chuckled self-deprecatingly, realizing he had been too greedy. He had already signed two overlord-level secret contracts, and now he wanted to act immediately…
They were actually there to confirm whether the next secret agreement to be signed was a top-tier, hegemonic agreement.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, your first secret contract was a high-level secret contract, and your second and third secret contracts were both overlord-level secret contracts. Looking at the entire Augu Kingdom, or even the entire planet Karigi, there are almost no ones that can compare to you, right?
Xia Fa shook his head, deciding to calm himself down. He flipped his palm over, about to take out the yellow crystal, pig iron, and living iron powder, preparing to divine the specific abilities of the Mysterious Singularity Contract.
But the moment he took out the citrine, he suddenly felt a surge in his spiritual intuition!
"Wait, what is this—"
Xia Fa's heart skipped a beat as he recalled seeing Dick Tudor retrieve the fang that contained the overlord-level secret contract of the Gate of Stars not long ago.
He suddenly realized something.
Xia Fa took a deep breath and decided to confirm.
He simply cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and a thought flickered in his mind.
The gray tin plate, which possesses the properties of preventing occupation and spying, obtained from the giant king Giant, appeared in Xiafa's hands.
At the center of the four yellow crystals set in the gray tin tray, a gray outer god's hand rests quietly.
On his palm, layers upon layers of cryptic texts rose and fell like breaths.
In that instant, Xia Fa clearly felt his spiritual intuition surge suddenly, like steam rising from a kettle about to boil!
