If she didn't have this skill, would she have been that strong?
When she is at level 5 and faces monsters, she can unleash level 6 or even stronger attributes.
If she didn't have skills against monsters, would she have upgraded to level 6 long ago?
In most combat systems, becoming stronger is a process of gradually mastering oneself, but in Dicuo's God's Grace, as adventurers become stronger and master skills, they actually increase the parts that they cannot control.
If this ability comes from God, then Su Qing would think it is a good thing.
Take the sandbox for example. Becoming stronger in the sandbox is a process of constantly mastering power. Whether it is the creation of a three-digit worldview or the two-digit cosmic truth, these operations can only be performed after the power control reaches a certain level.
But the box garden also has a God-given system, and the God-given system can even be regarded as the mainstream in the lower level of the box garden.
Indra bestowed several divine weapons upon Black Rabbit, which were part of this system.
Black Rabbit can only hold the Divine Armor forever and borrow the power from the Divine Armor, but even if she develops this power to the limit, she cannot change the properties of the Divine Armor.
The simulated godhood Brahma Spear in her hand can only achieve victory by penetrating, even if the Black Rabbit accidentally reaches double digits.
But Indra himself can change the properties of the Brahma Spear. If he feels that the ability to win by penetrating is boring, Indra can try to change the ability of the Brahma Spear - although Indra will not do that unless he is crazy, the spear will definitely become weaker after the change.
Black Rabbit's potential will not be affected by possessing several pieces of divine weapons, because she is just the holder of those pieces of divine weapons.
It is to add those divine weapons to the black rabbit's own spiritual power.
However, God's favor is not about the gods granting adventurers abilities, but about developing adventurers' potential and allowing adventurers to acquire skills.
The situation in the world of Dicuo can be compared if it is placed in a small garden.
Suppose Black Rabbit's own spiritual level is in the five digits, but Black Rabbit likes the weapons in Indian epics very much, so he goes to pray to his own god.
Indra consumed Black Rabbit's spiritual energy and used Black Rabbit's own spiritual energy to condense several pieces of divine weaponry.
Inside and out, Black Rabbit didn't get any stronger, and still had a five-digit strength. She was weaker than before on weekdays, in exchange for a few spiritual weapons that she could only use at most and definitely couldn't fully control.
This is such a loss.
The actual situation in the box garden is that Indra bestowed Black Rabbit with several divine weapons.
Black Rabbit does not have four-digit strength on its own, and its spiritual power is only five-digit, but with those external weapons, Black Rabbit can exert four-digit strength.
This is also the step to strengthen the small garden.
There is an upper limit to four-digit numbers. The higher the four-digit number, the more external forces must be abandoned. Except for the special ability of simulating the Star Creation Chart, which does not occupy the scale of the person's own spiritual level but is borne by the times, four-digit numbers basically do not use "external objects".
The waters in the four-digit field are deep, but the depths of the waters lie entirely with the parties involved.
Any group of gods in the box garden has a large number of artifacts, but there has never been a top four-digit number who relies on artifacts. For example, the only weapon held by Hercules is the solar sovereignty of Aries, because his spirituality is related to the solar sovereignty.
The grace of God in the world of Dicuo is simply an outrageous loss.
This problem occurred not because the gods in the Dicuo world were not of sufficient level, but because the most basic idea was wrong.
It's like a billionaire comes to the slums and tells the poor that luxury cars and beautiful women are the way of life, and tells the poor to learn from him.
For the gods, obtaining some divine powers that are not at the level of divine authority through the omnipotence of divine power is just a daily routine for the gods.
For billionaires, luxury cars and beautiful women are just part of everyday life.
But can the poor learn it?
But this is not a question of whether the poor want to learn or not. The top adventurers are like the relatively wealthy among the poor, holding tens of thousands of dollars in their hands... As soon as the idea comes to mind, they are dragged away by the rich to enjoy luxury cars and beautiful women.
While experiencing the life of the rich, you are still spending the money of adventurers - the poor.
Top adventurers must have good qualifications. They think to themselves "I want to do this and that", and as a result, they are pulled by God's grace and gain the corresponding skills.
Relying on willpower to acquire skills is as normal for gods as eating and drinking.
But for adventurers, this is an obstacle to future development. What adventurers need most is never those fancy skills, but to upgrade as much as possible.
As for the Divine Grace system, Su Qing could only say that it would be a miracle if today's adventurers would not be killed instantly by the black dragon.
Ancient heroes could only hurt the black dragon with the help of immortal spirits.
Today's adventurers, with such a huge negative buff as God's Favor, can consider themselves winners if they can just see the tail of an ancient hero.
Su Qing didn't know whether the gods in the world of Dicuo were stupid or bad, or both stupid and bad.
After all, to the gods, no matter how strong the adventurers become, they are definitely not as good as them, so perhaps they shouldn't look forward to it too much.
On the contrary, the human heart may surpass the understanding of the gods.
Even though divine power is omnipotent, if the gods cannot even imagine it, nothing can be achieved.
The gods may occasionally want to play with monsters, and then gain skills against monsters through divine power.
But the gods cannot hate monsters. Skills like Aisi's, where "the stronger the hatred for monsters, the greater the attribute improvement", must be beyond the gods' expectations.
To the gods, the 'skills' developed by adventurers are already unknown beyond their perspective.
The gods come to the mortal world to feel the unknown and experience life.
——But the gods come to the world to train heroes to overcome disasters.
To say that the gods do not realize the problems with the Divine Grace System is stupid. It is like a billionaire taking a poor man to live a life of luxury cars and beautiful women, because he has no idea how difficult it is for ordinary people to make money, and he just wants to introduce what he thinks is the best to his poor friends.
If you realize the problems with the God's Grace system, then it's bad. With the God's Grace system holding you back, there's no way adventurers can overcome the Black Dragon.
The gods are waiting for the humans on the surface to fail the trial of the black dragon and be completely wiped out - it's not necessarily because they are unhappy with the life on the surface, but they want to see the expressions of other gods who try hard to overcome the black dragon but whose efforts are completely wasted, and then they can laugh at them.
Su Qing felt that some gods were aware of the problem but were keeping their bad intentions to themselves.
There were gods who recognized the problem but pretended to be stupid in order to guide the gods to the lower world and then took action against some gods in the lower world without getting bogged down in such details.
The other gods really don't know the inside story and have no idea about other life forms. They just think it is convenient for gods to rely on divine power to gain other abilities, and they think this is also a good thing for life on the surface.
There are also a very small number of gods who are neither stupid nor bad, but seeing that the others have an expression of "this God's grace is good", they decide to go with the flow. They think that it is possible that they did not understand and thought that there were means in the God's grace system to make up for the potential of adventurers.
God's grace affects potential, especially the potential of top adventurers, making it difficult for top adventurers to upgrade.
There is no doubt that this is something that is difficult for anyone to think of, but once you change your mindset, there will be a lot of evidence to prove it.
At this moment, Loki's face looked slightly bitter.
In the clan, the new generation of adventurers might just be surprised and skeptical.
But the older generation of adventurers—
Livilia's face stiffened slightly, and she turned to look at Finn, meeting Finn's equally solemn expression.
That’s right!
Some things are common sense, so many people don't think much about them, but if you think about it carefully -
Why do almost all top adventurers have the ability to improve their attributes?
Finn's attributes are improved after he goes berserk, Ace's attributes are improved when facing monsters, Tiona's attributes are improved when she is on the verge of death, Bert's attributes are improved under the moon, and so on.
Improving attributes is not the key, the most important thing is - why can the attributes be improved to the extent of half a level to one level? More exaggerated, for example, when Ai Si's skills face dragon monsters, the attributes can be improved or even exceeded by one level?
This is actually quite funny, and the more experienced the adventurer is, the more they will understand the unnaturalness of this.
Aisi, who is at level 5, is not without the ability to fight against a dragon-type monster with level 7 attributes - but she is stuck at level 5 and cannot upgrade to level 6.
In online novels, the protagonist always loves to be stuck at a certain level.
But Aisi will upgrade as long as she can.
Then, I got stuck.
Adventurers who can kill monsters above their level cannot level up.
The level-up stuck in online novels refers to the subjective stuck state of the protagonist, where the player is able to level up but just doesn’t.
Aisi can't level up at all.
A level 6 dragon-type monster is not enough to be a great achievement for Aisi to level up - the monster's strength, physique, etc. are obviously far superior to Aisi's, but if Aisi kills the monster, it will not be considered a great achievement.
Being able to kill monsters above your level, but not being able to level up - the more experienced the adventurer is, the more they realize how outrageous this is.
I have the ability to kill dragons, so I won't gain experience points by killing dragons?
Even if it is not considered a subjective great achievement, the same is true for the improved attributes after daily upgrades.
Having the ability to kill dragons, after killing a dragon, the experience gained is actually less - Aisi's ability is that while focusing on killing dragons, it can also be triggered on ordinary monsters.
——I’m afraid that as a result, her upgrade speed has also been slowed down, but this is not as obvious as killing a dragon.
The experience gained from killing all monsters will be diluted by the skills that can be triggered against all monsters. So in the eyes of everyone, she was born to become stronger at this speed.
But this speed of becoming stronger is already top-notch in the world - but if it continues to grow like this, it will be stuck at level 5 for two years and it will be absolutely impossible to defeat the Black Dragon.
and so……
The corners of Livilia's mouth twitched slightly.
So, in the God's Favor system, their strength is judged as being at its peak after their skills have been enhanced?
Adventurers fight monsters and level up. In the judgment of the God's Grace system, they are at level 6 in strength, their experience bar is at level 6 in length, and their level-up difficulty is at level 6... But the adventurers themselves are only at level 5? Only when they burst out with all their strength can they have level 6 attributes?
No wonder adventurers can't compare to the heroes of the past.
Only by defeating monsters above your level can you gain a normal amount of experience. It would be a miracle if you don't get stuck at a certain level.
Chapter 30: Inside Story
Most top adventurers have the ability to improve their own attributes, and can kill monsters above their own level, but they will be stuck at the level. This is just one of the problems adventurers have.
Top adventurers often find this unusual and somewhat counterintuitive as they continue to explore dungeons.
However, if that were all, the adventurers could still find ways to comfort themselves.
For example, monsters are monsters and adventurers are adventurers, they cannot be generalized.
Monsters don't have levels. What they do have is just the guild's assessment over the past thousand years: "This monster's attributes are approximately equal to those of a level X adventurer." After all, the real world isn't a game, and the so-called levels are created by the gods through their grace.
Monsters are bestowed by dungeons, and adventurers' power comes from the guidance of God's grace. These are not the same kind of things, so naturally there is no way to compare them.
Maybe that's how God's favor is designed? Challenging opponents stronger than yourself is the way to become stronger?
