Another change was related to the effect of stacking shields together. The shields that would add up would increase their area of coverage by one hundred and fifty percent!
That wasn't just one plus one would equal two, it was like one plus one would equal two and half!
And that wasn't everything! The defensive abilities of my shields would increase by two folds for each shield, as if I doubled the number of shields by simply using one more shield!
As for the restrictions enforced by outer forces, this was now gone! The shields formed by my pillar would absorb any sort of energy clashing with it, acting as if the shield would span instantly and absorb the energy of the attacks coming at them within seconds!
I'd say goodbye to the insane moments where my shields would struggle against external forces. As long as the forces coming outside didn't add up for more than ten folds of my inner energy gushed into the pillar, the shields would keep expanding outwards, absorbing all the energy outside, and using it for its benefit.
That also meant if the shield was forced to face up a higher force outside, I could easily overcome this by using my bones.
As for the offensive abilities, the pillar also got more enhancements about this.
Before, I could only store up energy and release it outside. I couldn't control its reach, duration, only waiting for the attack to cease on its own.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever right now I could easily control all that! Even if I wanted the offensive attack to just impact one hundred metre radius around me, or at a distance inside the effective range of the offensive strike, I could do it!
And that offence would get deadlier the smaller the area it'd impact. Not to mention it'd be harmless to all the forces on my side.
I could even increase the range of the attack if I turned it from a wide area into a pillar or needle like attack. I could exchange the increase in might by the increase in distance, allowing me to target anything or anyone that was far away from here.
The only limitation for this would be through my previous visit to the location I was targeting. Or else the attack would blindly fall over anything, and wouldn't hit the target I had in mind.
I could help if I had stored that place before, making this attack turn into a guided missile strike.
Seeing all this made me inwardly sigh out of admiration. The gods' enhancement abilities were indeed quite scary.
I realised now why the fiends worked their best to prevent the gods from getting rescued, going to the extent of fooling an entire race to believe whoever came to help them were their sworn enemies and such.
My pillar's enhancements didn't just stop there! The previously passive effects that my shields got to any hostile forces inside the bubbles my pillar would create got changed.
The shields would deal with any inside and trapped hostile forces, either by limiting their mobility, dealing attacks to them, or adding healing effects to my forces fighting inside.
All in all, the shields got great changes, and now I could consider this pillar as my best weapon in fighting huge and insane battles.
I kept checking everything else, and like these three artefacts of mine, the others gained tons of abilities, more enhancements for their initial abilities, and became something crazily strong and scarily formidable!
For example, my Libra that could curse anyone by judging him changed and became a real ace! I'd now curse anyone without the need for him to be present in front of me.
Just thinking about him, his picture, or his name was enough. And now it could easily affect anyone, including gods!
Nothing could stop it now. And the previous long time activation period, it changed and became easier to activate. The longest time needed for gods would be just one minute!
And that wasn't all!
I could now affect a large group of people as long as I supported the Libra using energy.
That meant if I wanted to, I could curse an entire race in the same world I was in if I was ready to sacrifice tons of bones for it.
And that also wasn't the end of such enhancement!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn addition to cursing the enemies, I was now able to do more... For example I could take part of their inventories and belongings, force them to do something for me for a limited amount of time, and even do an exchange to remove the curse in exchange for a deal with me.
For example, if a god was cursed and he wanted to remove this curse, then he could sign a loyalty contract with me and work for me forever in exchange of getting his former power back.
That was insane! And now I could easily curse my enemies, before forcing them to sign a loyalty contract with me and remove these curses later on.
Using this Libra would turn an entire army fighting me into a group of weaklings! Or even turning an entire race into something that wouldn't stand against me.
Of course that would come at a huge price to pay from my bones. And that was the sole limitation I had for my Libra.
Considering the large number of bones I got in my inventory, I knew this wasn't going to be a big problem to me. Yet I knew if I depended on it too much, bad things would happen.
I'd become poor! And I'd not allow myself to feel this way ever again!
The only way to use the full potential of my Libra was to secure tons of bones first.
Doing so would indeed solve everything. And that meant I had to spare much of my time, collecting my thrown away loot everywhere.
I got totally absorbed in fighting everywhere and getting things done more than trying to get bones and such.
