These two Skills, although just add-ons to the Ultimate Item, are truly worthy of the "Ultimate" designation. They can be described as Divine Skills from any perspective.
The first is Unlimited Teleportation. Just by looking at the name, it’s clear that this is a Teleportation Skill without a cooldown. Moreover, according to the description within the Skill, it can forcefully execute a Teleport, ignoring all restrictions.
This means that from now on, Zhang Xiaoman won’t have to worry about any external forces that he may encounter during Teleportation, such as various Arrays that prohibit Teleportation, undoubtedly providing a greater assurance for his life.
However, what made Zhang Xiaoman somewhat depressed was that although the Skill did not have a cooling time, it required a very large amount of Dark Energy to activate.
If it weren’t for the mysterious extra 100 points in his base value, just relying on the 50-point limit boost from the cape, he wouldn’t even be able to use it.
As for the Eternal Veil, that’s a true Divine Skill.
Zhang Xiaoman felt that if he hadn’t misunderstood, then after using this Skill, it would be as if he’d gained a luck aura with an infinite value. All attacks launched without specifically targeting him would never hit him.
What’s the concept here? On a smaller scale, from now on, when Zhang Xiaoman walks on the street, he no longer has to worry about being hit on the head by falling objects from above.
On a larger scale, even a nuclear bomb would fail to hit him if, at the time of launch, it didn’t specifically designate him as the target, ultimately missing due to a variety of accidental circumstances.
This can be said to be an extremely Ni Tian Skill of causality. No wonder the last part of its description includes the phrase, "even fate shall yield."
Compared to the Eternal Veil’s "Hundred Percent Evasion" mechanism, the ordinary Veil’s "increased evasion chance" of the other rings seemed somewhat inferior.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoman immediately activated the Eternal Veil. After all, the Energy consumption is only 20 points per hour, which is still acceptable for him now. He decided to use it and see the effect.
The next moment, with the deduction of 20 Dark Energy points, a surge of black shadows rose around Zhang Xiaoman’s body, enveloping him completely within. From the outside, one could only discern his silhouette but not his exact appearance.
"Hmm... It doesn’t seem much different at a glance..."
Zhang Xiaoman could clearly see his own body, but he could also guess his current status and was quite satisfied with the camouflage effect that came with the Skill.
"So the Hundred Percent Evasion is activated now, right? Although I can’t feel it, the credibility of the Ultimate Item is still very high... Anyway, at least now I don’t have to worry that one day I’ll die like a minor character hit by some unknown AOE attack..."
After canceling the effect of the Eternal Veil on his body, Zhang Xiaoman checked his remaining Dark Energy—130/150—and did not get a refund for the Skill’s consumption, indicating that the Dark Energy spent on this Ability is a one-time outlay.
After exploring his Skills, Zhang Xiaoman turned his attention to the environment he was currently in.
In normal circumstances, this should be his gang’s territory, or it could also be referred to as the "Original Realm."
From the moment he first entered, Zhang Xiaoman had already had a vague feeling as if there was a special connection between himself and this space.
However, at that time, his attention was drawn away by the seven rings that fell from the sky. Only now did he return to his senses to investigate the situation here.
Looking around, this was a desolate land, bare except for the light yellow soil, and that was all.
No flowers, no trees, no rivers, no weeds—absent was any slightest trace of life, much like the images of Mars he had seen before, desolate.
The sky here was no higher than a hundred meters, the land no wider than a mile, surrounded by a chaotic mist, impenetrable, untouchable, insurmountable.
The whole Original Realm was like a newly cultivated small space, empty of everything.
"I feel like I can control everything here... but it’s like I’m somewhat out of my depth..."
Xiao Man frowned as he carefully felt the extent of his control over this place. Although he could clearly sense his absolute dominion here, it didn’t seem as potent as he had initially imagined.
This feeling was peculiar, like scratching an itch through a boot — it left something to be desired.
"Weird, there doesn’t seem to be a light source in this space. How can I see everything here?"
Xiao Man looked up at the sky, then sniffed the air and hesitated, "Moreover, I can’t feel any oxygen here, and even all the other physical constants are different from those on Water Blue Star... How exactly do I survive here?"
He rubbed his temples, then calmed his mind and felt again, and with the connection in his mind, he finally had a preliminary answer.
"I am the dominator of this place, so my existence, in relation to this space, is the most primal, the most fundamental... I don’t need to rely on other conditions to exist; on the contrary, it’s the other conditions that should depend on me to exist!"
Realizing this, Xiao Man was astounded, and a word suddenly appeared in his mind.
A real God! Not those creatures with mighty power.
To this space, Xiao Man was the fundamental reason for its existence. Therefore, to exist here, he needed no preconditions, no oxygen, no gravity, nothing at all! Simply because "his existence was justified," he could naturally stand here.
"No wonder there is no sun here, no light, and I was wondering how I could see so clearly..."
Xiao Man suddenly understood, then slowly closed his eyes.
The next second, he abruptly opened them again.
Darkness engulfed everything around him!
"Just as I thought..."
He murmured to himself, then closed his eyes a second time. When he opened them once more, the space had returned to its original state.
"That’s right, there’s actually no light here! The reason I can see is because there’s light in my heart..."
Realizing this, a thrill of excitement surged through Xiao Man.
"So that means, here I can do pretty much whatever I want!?"
With a wave of his hand, several pieces of gravel took flight from the ground, floating shakily to his side, orbiting and dancing at his fingertips, moving in different trajectories in tune with his will.
This status looked a bit like telekinesis, but Xiao Man understood in his heart that this was definitely not something that could be compared to telekinesis.
Although telekinesis is also a superpower from fantasy works, it is, after all, a type of "force," used to move objects. His own ability, however, didn’t require any aid; it was like making his wishes come true, even more direct than that — as if the stone pieces dancing in the air were naturally in this state.
"So it seems... I am going to have another title now?"
"So... how about ’Master of the Original Realm’?"
