Chapter 140 Divine Power, Qualitative Change
laboratory.

Richard activated the rune magic sealing array, and a stone box sealed by a large number of rune chains slowly rose up and came to the magic sealing platform. Richard opened the golden rune chain and opened the stone box. In an instant, a strong negative energy aura spread.

The stone box contains the [Mephisto's Soul Crystal].

After Richard extracted the divinity three times, only half of the divinity power was left in this soul crystal. When he extracted all the divinity power, this soul crystal would become an ordinary soul crystal, and then there would be another legendary high-level soul crystal.

Without the rune chain seal, Mephisto's soul crystal began to wail in pain. The surrounding energy was constantly stirred by it, and the soul's painful wails continued.

These strong negative emotions constantly interfere with and erode Richard, trying to pollute Richard's mind, making him dark, crazy and corrupt. At that time, Mephitos will not only be able to take back these divinities, but also take away Richard's soul.

Fortunately, Richard had already gotten through it before. Next, as more and more divinity was extracted by him, the interference of this soul crystal would become weaker and weaker.

Richard took a deep breath, and golden rune chains appeared around his body, and his eyes also turned golden.

——【Mechanized Mind! 】

——【Soul Absorption! 】

The dark purple soul energy was forcibly extracted, and along with the soul energy entering Richard's body, a wave of crazy, evil, and violent emotions hit his consciousness, but under the mechanized mind, they were all blocked outside and then completely eliminated bit by bit.

The divine power in these soul energies was also extracted by Richard, and the remaining soul power was infused into the soul crystal next to it.

As the soul energy and divinity were extracted, the soul crystal became smaller and smaller, and weaker and weaker. Richard lightly touched it, and the golden divine power began to enter his soul.

Richard didn't have a good way to absorb divine power. In fact, even if the gods wanted to absorb divinity, it was not that easy. This was the case many times in history when fallen gods were reborn through shells.

Those gods devoured a large amount of divinity, but the soul imprints in the divinity were not completely cleared away. As a result, they were influenced by the consciousness hidden in the divinity, and eventually took advantage of the opportunity when they were injured to turn the tables. This was what happened to the Demon of Fear back then.

The ones who are most likely to absorb divine power are the Sons of Slaughter. Their unique talents make it impossible for all divinity to make a splash on them. Richard once envied their bloodline.

Soon this time the divine power was successfully extracted. Next, Richard had to completely erase the consciousness in the divinity and integrate it into his own body.

Waving his hand to reseal the soul crystal, Richard came to the meditation room and began to engage in a battle of consciousness. This kind of battle of consciousness was very dangerous, but as the saying goes, the greater the danger, the greater the benefit.

Although the divine consciousness is difficult to deal with, it is rootless and floating. As long as you persist, you will definitely win. Moreover, the sharpening of this consciousness will make Richard's will more and more firm. In the future, it will be easy to encounter spells and charms that require will judgment.

The absorption of divinity takes about a week, of course Richard usually allows more time to prevent the divinity from having latent consciousness.

a.

A golden light flashed in Richard's eyes, and a strange energy spread from him. This energy gathered around him and began to affect the surrounding elemental energy.

Richard stretched out his hand, and this time the fusion of divine energy seemed to have caused some changes in his whole body. His soul became more solid, and his body also changed.

Although he hadn't tested it, Richard knew that his lifespan, vitality, recovery, and various physical attributes had all improved. This was a change brought about by divine power. There was already more gold in Richard's blood.

"Is this my divine force field?" Richard sensed the force field around his body. This power came from his soul.

Compared with the divine force field, evil force field, and evil god force field he had encountered before, Richard's divine force field was still very weak, but the power of divinity was far beyond the reach of ordinary power.

If there is no special power, all attacks on him will be greatly reduced by this layer of divine power, or even become defenseless. This is also what the gods said, mortal weapons cannot hurt them at all.

Richard felt that ordinary firearms could no longer cause him any harm. Even if he broke through this layer of divine force field, the damage caused would be reduced by half.

"System, scan my physical attributes."

“Scanning.”

Following Richard's order, several rays of light began to scan back and forth on his body. It took about two minutes for the system to complete the scan.

】（The panel guy will not appear for a long time.）
[Divine Force Field: Divine power undergoes a qualitative change. When the divine power changes your body, you are no longer a mortal. The divine force field can weaken all attacks that are not of the divine power level.]

Richard merged 10 points of divinity, and the power of divinity changed qualitatively. His body also changed into a divine creature. The most obvious thing was that his life became longer. Even if he didn't use any method to prolong his life, he would hardly die naturally.

After his divine power reached 10 points, he gained +1 to all attributes. It would take a long time for his divine power to undergo a qualitative change. At the same time, after integrating a large amount of knowledge from Blue Star, his intelligence was also improved.

After completing the transformation of his life, Richard stretched his body and left the meditation room. As soon as he came out, he received a lot of messages. He quickly read through them and then processed them.

Most of them were routine matters that were easily dealt with. There were only a few special matters left.

The most important thing is that SHIELD and the Hand have determined the exact location of the dragon bones and are organizing people to dig. The Mystic Eye has marked the location, and Frank has also gone to investigate. SHIELD has indeed found the dragon bones.

The dragon bones were buried very deep. Thousands of years passed, and there were floods and earthquakes. The dragon bones were buried dozens of meters underground, which is why the Shura Society took so long to find them.
