Chapter 1245 Ability Extraction
Lin Qiye hesitated, then first focused his gaze on Gilgamesh’s ability wheel.
“[Ultimate Kingship], [Curse of All Beings], [Guide to Governing Women], [Sovereign Sword]…”
Lin Qiye calmly said:
“Begin.”
As his words fell, the abilities on the wheel began to spin rapidly.
To be honest, Lin Qiye wasn’t worried about this draw. After all, based on experiments with previous patients, the ability draw at 50% treatment progress was essentially guaranteed to give the core divine domain of the corresponding deity.
Lin Qiye already had a guess about which ability would ultimately be selected.
After a long while, the pointer finally stopped on a certain ability.
”
Final King’s Law (Sovereign Divine Domain):
Within the coverage of this divine domain, you are the absolute ruler. Any energy form not exceeding your strength will be forced to submit to you, including but not limited to Forbidden Domains, Divine Domains, and items with field-type abilities. Through the ‘King’s Law,’ you can command these energies to a certain extent.
For energies stronger than you, you can also interfere with them through the ‘King’s Law.’ The effectiveness of the interference depends on the power difference.
”
Seeing this ability description, Lin Qiye drew in a sharp breath.
Although he had already guessed he would get this ability, actually seeing the description with his own eyes still made him marvel at how overpowered it was.
Simply put, once [Final King’s Law] was activated, he could interfere with all Forbidden Domains and even Divine Domains within range. Against opponents of lower or equal level, he could even take control of their Forbidden Domains.
In Lin Qiye’s mind, he recalled the scene in hell where his future self forcibly controlled the Divine Domain of the Seraph Uriel.
So that was the [Final King’s Law]…
“What did you get?” Gilgamesh asked.
“[Final King’s Law].”
“Very good.”
Gilgamesh nodded, seemingly quite satisfied.
Lin Qiye adjusted his mindset, returning from the joy of obtaining [Final King’s Law], and turned to look at the second ability wheel.
This was Sun Wukong’s final draw.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, “Begin.”
As the wheel spun rapidly and the pointer passed over one ability after another, Lin Qiye’s heart tightened.
[Fiery Golden Eyes], [Diamond Body], [Three Heads Six Arms], [Soul Projection], [Immobilization Technique], [Boundary Confinement]…
Under Lin Qiye’s tense gaze, the pointer slowly stopped at a spot on the wheel.
“Life-Saving Hairs?”
Lin Qiye read out the four characters, standing stunned, “What is this thing…”
”
Life-Saving Hairs:
Gifted by Guanyin Bodhisattva, there are three in total, capable of preventing three fatal calamities.
”
Lin Qiye looked at this line back and forth three or four times before touching his chin with a strange expression.
It had been a long time since he’d seen such a simple and straightforward description…
Before the draw, Lin Qiye had been hoping for powerful combat abilities like [Diamond Body] or [Three Heads Six Arms]. Getting a consumable survival ability instead was something he never expected.
But it was fine. This ability, though lacking practical combat value, could save his life at critical moments.
Nothing was more important than survival.
Lin Qiye extended his fingertip toward the four characters, and a warm current flowed into his body, condensing into three snow-white hairs at the nape of his neck.
Lin Qiye reached back to touch the hairs, which felt somewhat cool, but otherwise were no different from other hair.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to leave the hospital, Gilgamesh suddenly called out to him.
“Wait.”
Lin Qiye turned back puzzled.
Gilgamesh made a grasping motion in the void, and a miniature version of a broken treasury appeared in his palm.
This treasury was formed from part of his [Sovereign] law, and even though his physical body had returned to spirit form, it could enter the Divine Mental Hospital with him.
“The King’s Treasury?” Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. “How is it?”
“Very bad. The treasury itself is shattered, and its abilities have basically failed. It cannot be restored in the short term and can only be repaired bit by bit through the law.” Gilgamesh raised a finger, and two beams of light flew out from the treasury, landing before Lin Qiye.
They were a dark gold goblet containing a small amount of crimson liquid, and a light blue coin.
“The [Holy Grail] and the [Star Coin]?” Lin Qiye was startled.
“After the treasury shattered, many divine artifacts went missing, including the [Scepter] and the [Sword]. They were likely stolen and taken away.” Gilgamesh paused,
“Since I am confined to this hospital and cannot leave, I’ll temporarily give you these two artifacts for protection.
The [Holy Grail] has absorbed the life force of the three Sumerian gods, enough for one or two more major wishes. You know the ability of the [Star Coin], but its side effects are too severe—try not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
As for other artifacts, they all require divine power to activate. Even if I wanted to give them to you, you couldn’t use them.”
Lin Qiye’s expression brightened as he took the [Holy Grail] and the [Star Coin].
“Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me…” Gilgamesh seemed to remember something, his expression becoming somewhat strange. He opened his mouth, appearing hesitant.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Qiye asked curiously.
“I just used the [Star Coin].”
Seeing Gilgamesh’s expression, Lin Qiye suddenly realized something. “Misfortune?”
“Correct. The side effect of the [Star Coin] is something even I might not be able to withstand. Fortunately, I am in this hospital, so even if there is danger, it will be reduced to a minimum by the hospital and shouldn’t threaten my life. However… the misfortune won’t disappear.”
“What do you mean?”
“The misfortune will seek me out, but I’m hiding in this hospital, and this hospital… is in your mind.”
Lin Qiye was stunned, his mouth uncontrollably opening wide:
“You mean it might fall on me??”
“Not fall, it’s more like… a diversion? You might share this side effect with me, but neither of us will experience it too strongly.” Gilgamesh tried to reassure him.
“…”
After a brief silence, Lin Qiye sighed and resignedly said:
“I understand. I’ll be careful.”
There was no choice—after all, the hospital was in his mind. Gilgamesh had used the [Star Coin] to help them out of trouble, so it was only right that he bear some of the side effects.
Lin Qiye’s consciousness left the Divine Mental Hospital.
After Lin Qiye left, Gilgamesh slowly stood up from the courtyard, patted his gray robe, and walked directly toward his own ward.
Just then, an explosion sounded from the kitchen on the first floor!
“Not good, too much fire came out!” a caretaker’s alarmed cry followed.
The next moment, a hot pot full of garlic cloves and uncooked vegetable leaves came whistling out from the corridor, landing precisely on the head of Gilgamesh as he was passing by!
