Sovereign Lanyun claims to be preventing war, but Zhao Chenlin suspects war is inevitable. Lanyun invites Zhao Chenlin and Fang Yu to the Congress in two days to present evidence, while Fang Yu uses a dice roll to double his rewards from a previous task, significantly increasing his experience and Ocean Court faction level.

With a cast of the Dice, all other rewards were doubled, save for the Ocean Scripture, which remained as two fragment pages, serenely adrift in Fang Yu’s panel space.

This was a beneficial acquisition Fang Yu received in exchange for the [Taboo Travel] Ocean Scripture.

[Consumption]!

Fang Yu could no longer contain his eagerness and directly manifested the Ocean Scripture, then integrated it into his own vessel.

In the ensuing moment...

A subtle verdant luminescence emanated from within the ship and coursed into Fang Yu’s being. Peculiarly, it also flowed into the forms of his other crew members, those bound by contract to the Salted Fish.

Immediately thereafter, a novel, faint emerald sigil materialized discreetly adjacent to the existing [Undying] Ocean Scripture mark upon each individual's forehead. This new mark signified their newfound capacity to activate the Ocean Scripture's potent abilities via the mark on their brow.

At this juncture, Fang Yu attained a comprehensive understanding of the two pages of the Ocean Scripture's functionalities and effects.

[Consumption (2/9)]

Scripture Fragment Pages:

——Fatigue Attack

——Material Energy Conversion

[Fatigue Attack]

Effect 1: Establishes a specialized force field. Upon an adversary's intrusion into this field, a depletion of 1% of their energy level occurs each second. Range: 3 nautical miles. (For each supplementary page acquired, the range expands by 1 nautical mile, and the energy level depletion escalates by 0.5%.)

Effect 2: Every assault launched by an enemy exacerbates the energy level depletion. The index for this depletion is calculated as: 1.2% multiplied by the number of attacks received. (With each additional page, this index increments by 0.1.)

[Material Energy Conversion]

Effect 1: Possesses the capability to transmute blood and flesh into one's own energy level power. This conversion is also applicable to the vessel itself.

Effect 2: The converted energy level power can be stored or accumulated for subsequent deployment in the next offensive maneuver, reaching a maximum of twice the individual's total energy level. (For every subsequent page integrated, this multiplier increases by 1.)

Upon reviewing the abilities of the [Consumption] Ocean Scripture, Fang Yu's eyes gleamed with newfound excitement.

Consumption… it appears it isn't solely about self-expenditure; it can also be levied against adversaries.

Fatigue Attack presents an exceptionally formidable capability; when an enemy breaches the perimeter of the force field, they suffer a 1% energy deficit per second.

This implies that, even factoring in the recuperation afforded by energy level Potions amidst intense combat and rapid depletion, any foe would be compelled to neutralize the Salted Fish within a sixty-second timeframe.

Should the enemy fail to overcome the Salted Fish in such a brief interval, utter exhaustion of their energy level would inevitably ensue.

Furthermore, its second effect masterfully bridges the deficit experienced during an enemy's flurry of attacks within a limited span.

Effect 1 necessitates engaging in aggressive assaults within a narrow window, lest one succumbs to depletion. Effect 2 dictates that once such aggressive exchanges commence, the rate of depletion accelerates exponentially, reaching a crescendo where a single strike could consume a significant portion of the enemy's energy reserves.

This is, unequivocally… a divinely synergistic skill!

As for [Material Energy Conversion]...

Fang Yu's gaze shifted towards Material Energy Conversion, a contemplative expression settling upon his features.

The manifest effects of Material Energy Conversion are relatively straightforward to apprehend.

In essence, it involves the sacrifice of one's own sanguineous tissue and flesh, along with that of the vessel, to regenerate energy level power, which can then be directed against an opponent.

It is to be considered a potent offensive mechanism.

Nevertheless, this particular page of the Ocean Scripture carries a substantial detrimental consequence.

Specifically, the consumption of vital tissues and flesh results in muscular atrophy and profound weakness. This affliction extends even to the vessel itself.

Now that the ship has undergone its Body Transformation awakening, it intrinsically possesses the concept of blood and flesh.

Yet, should the ship's corporeal essence be converted into energy level power, while it undoubtedly bestows a surge of augmentation, the ship's outer plating will, in parallel, become increasingly brittle, and its defensive fortitude will diminish accordingly.

It stands as a capacity akin to a double-edged sword…

Fang Yu mused inwardly.

But swiftly, Fang Yu’s thoughts underwent a sudden shift.

Hold on!

If these are the sole ramifications, then the [Consumption] Ocean Scripture is, in reality, indistinguishable from other mundane Ocean Scriptures. Why then did Zhao Chenlin so earnestly recommend this particular Scripture to him?

Zhao Chenlin was a man of unwavering integrity; he would never proffer recommendations capriciously.

His endorsement implied that there was undoubtedly an element within this Scripture that Zhao Chenlin perceived as uniquely fitting for him.

Suited him…

Pursuing this line of thought, Fang Yu’s mind suddenly alighted upon a crucial realization.

His [Undying] Ocean Scripture, post-Nirvana Rebirth, bestows a period of absolute invulnerability.

During this interval, he would be enveloped in Hell Power, staging a return from the netherworld.

And this rebirth process fundamentally relies upon Hell Power to restore both the vessel and his own physical form.

This signifies that Hell Power possesses an exceptionally potent restorative capability for flesh and blood, along with the capacity to transmute into physical substance. If this were to be synergized with [Material Energy Conversion]…

Then, not only would he attain an state of invincibility, but he could also perpetually convert bodily sustenance into offensive capabilities?

Contemplating this possibility, Fang Yu couldn't suppress a sharp inhalation, his heart pounding with exhilarating anticipation.

You realize, don't you, that the maximum conversion value for Material Energy Conversion is double your current total energy level.

This implies... upon returning from Hell, he will possess triple his current energy level's power?

Fang Yu's eyes began to gleam intensely...

This confounded thing... are you absolutely certain it's not some sort of glitch?
