Chapter 1056: Chapter 23: Power Belt, Battlefield Cleanup, 10 Avatars

"Mei Jingjiuod (Status: Damaged)."

"Origin: Nordic World."

"Quality: Mythical."

"Effect 1: Wearing this equipment can unleash more powerful strength than usual, granting a power attribute +1 check bonus."

"Effect 2: Wearing this equipment will significantly enhance the wearer’s defense, providing a +50% check bonus in both physical defense and spell resistance."

"Effect 3: (Requires repair to view specific attributes)."

"Extra Effect 1: (Requires repair to view specific attributes)."

"Extra Effect 2: Eit Snake Poison—Due to the equipment being damaged and contaminated with Jörmungandr’s poison, it cannot be used normally or repaired for durability until the toxic contamination effect is removed. Forcing its use poses a risk of poisoning; being killed by Jörmungandr’s poison means that even gods will die forever. (Negative Trait)"

"Note: In Ancient Norse, Mei Jingjiuod means ’Power Belt.’ It is said that tightening this belt can double the wearer’s strength. Thor, the only god among the pantheon to have surpassed the power of Frost Giants, with the power belt, even qualifies to wrestle with the Mortal Python... the strongest among the Giant Race, the only nemesis in his life, could only be gods’ strongest opponent—the same in reverse."

A mythical-level equipment!

Also the first mythical-level equipment Gu Mo has seen.

However, the identifying attribute page projected for the equipment presents a very simple panel; the data content is such that it seems not to match the level of a mythical equipment that glows with colorful light and exhibits extraordinary quality as it should.

Of course, Gu Mo was not disappointed, nor did he underestimate this "Power Belt," but instead pondered seriously... Although called a power belt or such, it inevitably sounds somewhat common; this name style is almost like those most common tacky enchanted equipment, probably belonging to the default whiteboard equipment in the shop, or maybe a barely +1 prefix junk green item, and nothing more.

But... it also depends on whose power belt it is!

Just like if the target is the world’s richest person, wearing a child’s electronic watch on his wrist, others would still look up and wonder if it’s some advanced technology, suspecting their own lack of knowledge—

As one of the mightiest among the Northern Europe’s gods, one of Thor’s three treasures, could it be compared to those tacky junk green items?!

"Power +1..."

Gu Mo’s gaze lingered briefly on the first useful entry, silently evaluating.

"It should be due to the damage. If, as the legend says, it can double power, then in a complete state, it should at least increase power by 2 points constant..."

It doesn’t seem much, but the actual increase is quite remarkable, especially as this is mythical-level equipment. Means that Thor, while wearing it, can still achieve its supposed enhancement effect, which is indeed astonishing—thinking this, he couldn’t help but recall the Four Souls Fragment he relied on for a period; comparing them slightly, he found the Jade fragments provided more enhancement, at least judging by surface data...

However, in reality?

Once Gu Mo surpassed the Human Realm, this increase naturally became ineffective.

That’s not all. Now even the Great Rune Fragments from Elden Ring World, those fragments that could shape demigod warriors, no longer have any effect on him.

After all, as his energy intensity grows higher, as his existence scale becomes larger, when a single strand of his hair carries more substantial material and energy information than a powerful magic item, expecting the latter to continue providing strong protection or boon is undoubtedly a daydream... Especially as the attribute points in the later stages become more valuable than those in the early stages, making it even more difficult.

Understanding the essence and key of this mythical-level equipment, Gu Mo pondered lightly.

—Maximum limit!

—Ultimately, the key factor determining the quality tier of equipment and items is their maximum performance limit!

Properly putting the Power Belt away, he lifted his gaze again; his bright eyes swept over the Stellaris Abyss filled with the crowded remains of gods, giants, heroes, and monsters, as if spotting a gigantic golden treasure mountain. Within it, an unfathomable value calls to him, waiting for him to develop.

Shock, amazement...

Honestly, these emotions certainly exist.

But long before Hiri woke up, he was already shocked. Now, since calming down, naturally, he needs to "rationally" consider what he should do.

This world has long since died, the vast universe dragged into the flames of war burned to ashes, every tangible and intangible thing shattered in the endless past... Gu Mo tries to ponder and speculate, combining myths and legends to attempt revealing the true face of history, yet unable to piece together the puzzle. Too many things are buried under the shadows of eternity, where even death itself decays in the long passage of time.
