My Salvation Game Became true?!.

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 The Disaster Situations in Various Countries
 

“An Jianyou had accumulated 10.6 points of Mysterious Value, but the indicator for a second awakening didn’t appear. It seems the starting standard for a second awakening might be 20 units,” he mused.

“Black Pupil can’t awaken either… Judging from Black Pupil’s current state, it’s equivalent to a first awakening? Does it also need to accumulate 20 points?”

It wasn’t much at all.

Whether it was ten units or twenty, accumulating them wouldn’t take too long.

The Investigation Bureau would be green with envy if they knew, considering how rare their special investigators were. Besides the extreme danger of awakening, accumulating Mysterious Values was very slow.

Not like the Apostle of Fate, who could wrap up all the Mysterious Value by slaying a minor Mysterious Evil.

He clicked on the “!” sign next to Black Blade brother’s Mystery column, and a prompt immediately popped up.

‘Prompt: You can guide Apostle of Fate “Black Blade” through a double awakening. This guidance will consume ‘Destiny Points ×3’, ‘Mysterious Crystals ×9′. The probability of awakening is 75%, and failure of a second guidance will consume more resources.’

‘Prompt: Do you wish to guide Apostle of Fate “Black Blade” through a double awakening?’

He didn’t rush to guide.

“The guidance for the second awakening costs three times more than before, but it’s not too expensive… Alright, nine Mysterious Crystals are still somewhat pricey,” he conceded.

And the probability of awakening had decreased!

The first time he guided Black Blade brother, there was a 90% success rate. This time, it was reduced to 75%. What about the third time, the fourth time?

The odds weren’t very high. Fang You issued a rest command to Black Blade brother, instructing him to fully prepare.

After Black Blade rested for an hour, his stamina, life energy, and so on, were fully restored on the panel, with only some minor injuries remaining.

These were not major issues.

Tough guys like Black Blade brother could easily handle a few more scars on their bodies.

Fang You lightly tapped the smartphone screen, pressing the vital guide · awakening button.

In an instant,

he watched intently as Black Blade brother still showed no sign of change, simply sitting quietly in the training room. After half an hour, he suddenly stood up and drew his sword with a slash.

Swoosh—

The blade sliced through the air with a piercing whine, and waves of invisible energy burst forth around Black Blade.

Although his form seemed unchanged, his presence felt colder, like a frigid blade that had slain countless Mysterious Evils.

However, the second awakening wasn’t without change.

In a spot out of Fang You’s sight, beneath Black Blade’s mask, a red pattern formed on his face.

It was a mark of awakening.

Compared to the awakeners from the Investigation Bureau, this transformation could be considered quite minimal.

Fang You opened Black Blade’s panel.

‘Black Blade’

‘Physique: 7.4+7’

‘Spirit: 2.4+1.6’

‘Mystery: 0’

‘Life Energy: 10.24+5’

‘Skills: Some’

‘Ability: Chilling Killing Intent (Double Layer)’

His physique had almost doubled, Black Blade brother was even less human now.

Besides this, the main change was in his ability. A second awakening usually doesn’t give birth to new abilities but enhances the previous awakened ability and extends some new methods of use.

Black Blade brother’s ‘Chilling Killing Intent’ now had an added feature, allowing him to imbue his killing intent into the blade to enhance its lethality.

Next time Black Blade brother fights monsters, it will be interesting to see how he fares.

Fang You then looked at his own character.

With Black Blade brother’s successful start, he felt his own awakening would also go smoothly.

Once his strength was fully restored, he would proceed with the awakening.

…

Bai Jiang, Investigation Bureau.

“`

It had been two days since the Nanjiao Gate of Hell incident, and the bureau seemed somewhat deserted.

Many investigators had suffered varying degrees of spiritual damage after facing the flesh giant and had now been sent to a sanatorium for recuperation.

How much longer it would take to recover was unclear.

In the chief’s office, Chief Zhou’s demeanor was somewhat wan, partly due to the heavy mood and partly because, like many investigators, he had sustained spiritual trauma.

If it weren’t for the fact that his injury was relatively light, and that he held the position of chief, Chief Zhou too would have liked to go to the sanatorium.

Master Ma sat to one side.

His spirits were not down, but his body was wrapped in bandages, his frame much thinner, a skeletal figure beneath his clothes, the result of repeatedly using the “Curse of Blood.”

Eating more nutritious food might slowly help him recover, but whether he could fully recover seemed doubtful to him.

He was already thankful to be alive.

If that black-clad expert hadn’t pulled him back, he might have been obliterated in that vast sea of thunder.

Master Ma took a sip of goji berry water from his thermos and said:

“Speaking of which, that thunderbolt was terrifying. In an instant, it turned a hundred meters radius into a sea of thunder, no matter how dreadful that Mysterious Evil was, it was all annihilated in the destructive thunder.”

“It was simply divine might. Can a human even achieve such a feat?”

Master Ma and the others were inclined to believe that a powerful mysterious item was used, at a great cost.

Even with such a strong mysterious item, such a scene was still a miracle, a marvel.

Could humanity reach such heights through awakening?

“What do you think, was that person a third-level awakener, fourth-level, or even higher?”

“Can one really awaken so many times?”

Jiang Tingqiu was also there, looking much more spirited than Chief Zhou, he grabbed Master Ma’s attention and asked, “What’s the highest level of awakening in the central bureau? Fourth-tier, fifth-tier?”

“Young man, you’re thinking too beautifully,” Master Ma said. “To my knowledge, the highest is only secondary awakening, and even those are few and far between. Of course, we can’t rule out higher levels, but that high…”

If there were such strong individuals, he wouldn’t need to be fighting tooth and nail.

“You ask why I guess that person might be fourth or fifth-tier awakeners—I haven’t seen anything so outrageous, have I? It makes sense to guess higher since one can achieve first and second awakenings. I’d say guessing eight or ten-tier is also reasonable, right?”

It made sense.

But he hadn’t even had one awakening yet!

Jiang Tingqiu wondered, “Although we in the investigation bureau played a supporting role this time, we did kill a lot of Mysterious Evils and should have accumulated enough mystery to awaken, right?”

Master Ma glanced at him.

He didn’t speak the discouraging words, but Jiang Tingqiu was a super senior investigator with several years of service, his seniority comparable to Master Ma’s, and should have accumulated enough mystery value long ago.

Not having awakened yet could only mean that it was very difficult for him to awaken; he didn’t have enough potential.

“After this battle, it’s indeed possible that some people will come into contact with awakening. During this period, pay extra attention to the mental state of the investigators for any abnormalities.”

“New awakeners emerging is a good thing, but we also need to prevent awakening failures… The failure rate is very high,” Master Ma said.

Chief Zhou nodded, his expression somewhat solemn.

He hoped that the Baijiang Investigation Bureau could produce a few more awakeners, but he was also worried about the potential for some to fail and die in the attempt… He could almost say that there was a high probability that there would be deaths, the only question was how many.

The Nanjiao Gate of Hell battle had already resulted in numerous injuries and deaths among investigators and trainees, and further casualties would be…

Possibly still under the influence of the Mysterious Evil and not fully recovered, Chief Zhou’s face was etched with heavy worry.

Quite a bit, in fact.

“Zhou, I suggest you spend some time at the sanatorium too. This office will survive without you for a while. I, the old master, am sitting right here, aren’t I? Despite my appearance, I can easily take down a few Mysterious Evils,” Master Ma counseled.

“Cheer up. Remember, we won big this time.”

“Think about what’s happening elsewhere…”

The Sunset Empire experienced a Gate of Hell just yesterday. They held it off, but their losses were far worse than ours, and the scale of their Gate of Hell wasn’t even close to ours, they say.

Across the ocean, in the White-headed Eagle Federation, another Gate of Hell opened up in a city area, and the situation there is still unknown.

Our neighbor, the Sakura Country, is frequently afflicted, isn’t it? Another Gate of Hell has appeared there, and a terrifying Mysterious Evil has emerged in a bustling district, reportedly still wreaking havoc.

While it’s true that the severe cases are abroad, Master Ma said, domestic disasters were not few either, and his mood began to darken as well.
