--- Chapter 361 ---
One day later, Huo Yuhao lazily leaned on a recliner in one of Loguetown's hotels. After Toki canceled her domain, the town returned to normal, and everyone moved again.
At first, Huo Yuhao wanted to enter the 'next' timeline as he planned with others. However, they realized he was too exhausted from being tested by the mysterious man.
Even though Huo Yuhao didn't show it, his condition was horrible. All his cores depleted, leaving him with a sliver of energy to stay conscious.
So, they decided to rest for a few days in this 'sacred' timeline.
Yes, to rest only. On the 'next' timeline, Huo Yuhao still has to go on a date with the ladies.
Given that Huo Yuhao couldn't do anything, he could only study his new powers.
After the fight with the mysterious man, or should we call the test, Huo Yuhao developed three new powers. The first power is related to the God of Fortune but more comprehensive.It's not purely Luck Manipulation because Huo Yuhao used True Pagma's Forging Skills with Nebula Thunderfire, Concept of Saving Money(Wealth and Power), and Heavenly Dao of Samsara and Nothingness.
He forged a Violet-colored Coin, which held the power of victory.
The coin can forcibly reduce the enemy's luck and power, siphoning it to make the coin heavier by ten times each microsecond without losing its momentum.
It's similar to Albion's Divine Divide, but not quite. Huo Yuhao created this power solely to render any concept and law useless. So, not even things like Vector Manipulation nor Ability Negation could counter this coin.
Simply put, it's Irresistible Control.
Huo Yuhao named this new power Victorious Lucky Coin. He can develop it more because the version he used against the mysterious man has yet to mature in concept and execution.
"I can reduce the coin's size and increase the quantity. With numbers, I can bombard enemies with Victorious Lucky Coins and render them useless."
"I also can add other elements like Spiritual Power, Divinity, or Class's Unique Energy into the coins, turning them into Unique-type Power."
Of course, this is possible because Huo Yuhao possessed extreme luck, which means no one could replicate this trick.
Huo Yuhao played with a plain purple coin, flipping it with his fingers and throwing it in the air. No one would think such a simple-looking coin could reduce a world to the atom with simple flicks.
Well, Huo Yuhao wouldn't do that. Abusing his luck on innocents wouldn't end well for him.
The second power is also related to Huo Yuhao's extreme luck. It was a power to reverse one's luck and grant extreme unluckiness to the enemy.
He used several concepts to make this power. He was in a hurry back then.
All Huo Yuhao wanted was to break the mysterious man's defense or ignore it.
So, he combined the Concepts of Tear, Twist and Turn, Break and Prick, and Anomaly. The first three concepts lay the foundation for breaking one's resistance, and the latter allowed him to solidify the ignored defense quality.
All that is just the shell of Luck Reversal because Yuhao used the Concept of Reverse Spiral, Everwhite Spiral, and Luck Destruction. It allowed him to reverse cause and effect.
Of course, he also added Heavenly Dao of Destiny into Luck Reversal, or else it wouldn't be effective.
With Luck Reversal, the enemy would lose the ability to control their attack and weaken rapidly. In fact, this is how Huo Yuhao resists the mysterious man's boundless sword intent.
Like Victorious Lucky Coin, Luck Reversal is "literally" overpowered, but Huo Yuhao needed preparation time to activate it. Not to mention, the extreme amount of energy to make it work is just too much.
Huo Yuhao's way to improve Luck Reversal is by lowering its energy consumption and making it a passive ability.
It would be difficult but not impossible.
"Luck Reversal is effective against boundless sword intent, but I felt my brain would turn mush if I used it for more than five minutes. That five minutes are more than enough to defeat a million enemies..."
"However, I'll get weakened after those five minutes. My mind will become slower." Huo Yuhao sighed in helplessness.
"Thankfully, I developed my last power to complete the pieces."
Huo Yuhao's last power is called the Dominator Instinct.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't a power but more of a 'special' state.
Huo Yuhao would let his refined instinct control his body in the Dominator Instinct's state.
No, you might think this is just like Ultra Instinct.
No, no, you're gravely mistaken.
There is a difference between 'pure' instinct and refined one.
A pure instinct is 'naturally' honed through countless experiences and rich combats.
A refined instinct that Huo Yuhao used is 'forcibly' made by letting his instinct run wild with all the bloodlines he had, clashing them against each other no less than a billion times to achieve a form of Unrivaled Combat.
The refined instinct that had tasted Huo Yuhao's bloodline allowed it to control his body perfectly and used bloodline power in a perfect mix, including the Divine-grade Class's power.
However, the core of the Dominator Instinct is none other than Huo Yuhao's unbreakable will. With it, even if Huo Yuhao lost his mind, he could still move his body and fight out of pure Willpower.
This state lasted forever until Huo Yuhao recovered from his mental exhaustion.
It's a bit taxing on physical strength. Still, Huo Yuhao created a new Dragon's bloodline and had Everblue Wave Undying Tiger.
The Everblue Wave Undying Tiger's bloodline is the Z-grade Primeval Bloodline Huo Yuhao developed in the Primeval Beast Trial.
It has an 'Undying' trait that allowed Huo Yuhao to resist and ignore conceptual attacks to a certain degree. It possesses concepts of Blue Wave and Everwhite Spiral that affect reality.
But the best perk is Azure Light War Body, which enhanced Huo Yuhao's physical strength to meet the Dominator Instinct's requirement.
Huo Yuhao could fight with the mysterious man on an even field using this new Godly Physique. Still, fighting and defeating the mysterious man is a different thing.
It is where the new Dragon's bloodline comes into clutch. Fusing Naga's bloodline with the Dragon God's traits via Forest God's Mimicry Power, Huo Yuhao completely overwrites the former and evolves it to another stage.
Even though the new bloodline has no name yet, it was on the same level as or exceeded the Everblue Wave Undying Tiger. Potentially, that is.
[Name: Unknown Dragon]
[Type: Primeval Dragon's Bloodline (First of the kind)]
[Grade: Z]
[Description: A new Dragon born from a combination of Chaotic Purgatory Dragon and Dragon God's bloodline, fusing the best traits of two dragons and casting aside the worst qualities. This Primeval Dragon was born in a tyrannical storm of all elements, including Space, Time, Creation, and Destruction]
[But its 'strongest' quality is none other than its physique, fire, and authority over the higher dimension]
[It has three Divine Powers]
[Primeval Dragon God Body, Abstruse Nebula Thunderfire, No Creation without Destruction]
The first two Divine Powers are self-explanatory. They are the upgrade of Dragon God's Body and Nebula Thunderfire, which allows Huo Yuhao to contest firepower with the mysterious man.
But what the mysterious man didn't know is that the MVP is actually the Dragon's last Divine Power.
No Creation without Destruction allowed Huo Yuhao to 'conceptually' destroy anything created. Unfortunately, this is supplementary to Huo Yuhao's overall power.
It's like a buff or coating on his fist.
Even then, Dominator Instinct used No Creation without Destruction beyond its standard usage and could destroy the mysterious man's incarnation.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, "If I have to name it..."
"Abstruse Purgatory Dragon should be fitting."
"It's not as mouthful as the Everblue Wave Undying Tiger, but I think Naga will like it."
As Huo Yuhao immersed himself in melancholy, a pair of hands landed on his stiff shoulders and massaged them.
"Are you okay?" asked a familiar voice.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Mm. I'm just a bit exhausted."
The owner of the voice is Eluxia. She and other contracted souls were 'naturally' awakened when Huo Yuhao fought the mysterious man, but only she could stay awake.
Even Tian Meng and Helena have fallen into a nap after that.
Eluxia kept rubbing Huo Yuhao's shoulders, "What about some service to erase your exhaustion? We haven't done it for a while."
"Don't worry, just lay down and relax. Leave everything to me~!" Her voice became coy, stirring Huo Yuhao's heart.
"Okay..."
Huo Yuhao soon drowned in warmness.
Yeah, this is how life should be.
