Chapter 435: Chapter 235: Sent Over? (Two in One) _1 The hundred four-star professionals from the Yongming Star System were all in a frenzied state. They displayed no concern for the Formation’s strange aura and collectively stepped into it. Seeing everyone enter the Formation, the upper echelon of the Yongming Star System began to activate the Array with incantations. This Cursed Demonization Array had cost a considerable price to obtain. Merely maintaining this Array each month incurred immense consumption. Yet, the Array’s effect was overwhelmingly powerful. Although it was not very useful against professionals above the fifth-transition, it could instantly transform those below the fifth-transition into a plethora of overpowering combatants. With this Array, they could significantly enhance their strength, at least when facing a Disaster or in situations requiring low-star professionals. However, the price was too high. Once influenced by the Array and entering the curse demonization status, death was inevitable when the status’s duration ended. It was a type of absolute death that left not even ashes behind—a complete obliteration where even the possibility of resurrection was extinguished. Therefore, this Array was generally not employed unless absolutely necessary. Despite its high maintenance cost, it existed only as a trump card. And now, it was time to use this trump card. The monstrous rookie who had appeared in the Solar System was simply too heaven-defying. Without the curse demonization effect, even with a hundredfold numerical superiority, we wouldn’t stand a chance of winning, the Yongming Star System’s upper echelon thought. "Once you enter the curse demonization status, you will no longer be affected by any abnormal statuses, nor will you die. You can use all those cursed Tools we gave you without worrying about the backlash! When you encounter that prodigy from the Solar System, use your full strength to annihilate them immediately!" "Yes!" The Array was quickly activated. Terrifying black fog continuously billowed from the towering black pillar at the Array’s center, madly surging into the bodies of the four-star professionals within the Formation. In less than three seconds, the outward appearances of all four-star professionals within the Formation had completely changed. Their eyes turned a terrifying crimson, emitting a chilling red light, and their bodies became covered from head to toe with peculiar patterns. Every one of them had entered the curse demonization status. At this moment, they all received The Heavenly Path’s Hint. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Warning! You have entered the curse demonization status. This status will last one official day or for the duration of one instance dungeon. After one official day or upon the instance dungeon’s completion, your existence will be entirely extinguished!] This was why, when recruiting these individuals, the Yongming Star System’s upper echelon had to clearly explain the fatal consequences of the curse demonization. If they had merely tricked them, and these individuals only discovered their inevitable death after entering the state, it would have easily provoked rebellious sentiments. Any resulting backlash would have been disastrous. Now, fired up by the pre-battle mobilization, they had all entered the curse demonization status with a do-or-die resolve and a sense of noble conviction. Naturally, everyone calmly accepted this fate. [Curse Demonization]: During this status’s duration: all damage you inflict becomes true damage; all your Skills undergo Demonization; your All Attributes increase by ’star level * 5’ times. Furthermore, you are immune to all abnormal statuses. Upon death, you will be immune to death and enter ’Magic Cocoon Self-Healing Mode’. This effect cannot be dispelled, resisted, or removed! 〖Magic Cocoon Self-Healing Mode〗: Upon entering the Demon Cocoon State, you need to accumulate 100 Energy points to resurrect. You recover 1 Energy point per second. However, if you sustain damage in this state, you will stop gaining Energy and instead accumulate 1 Ruin Value point per second. When you stop taking damage, all accumulated Ruin Value points will be converted into Energy. If your Ruin Value accumulates to 100 points during this period, the Demon Cocoon will directly shatter and be annihilated. Initially, these four-star professionals had only heard from the Yongming Star System’s upper echelon about how perverse this curse demonization status was. Only after seeing the effects of curse demonization did they understand why entering this state meant an inevitable death sentence! This status was too ferocious! The increase in combat power was by no means small. Not only were attributes massively boosted, but Skills also underwent Demonization and became stronger. Simultaneously, all damage was converted to true damage, and they gained immunity to all abnormal statuses. The most perverse part was that it was even hard to die! Even if killed, they would enter the Demon Cocoon State and could resurrect after 100 seconds. Unless the enemy could continuously attack them for 100 seconds without pause, even a one-second lapse in the assault would allow them to resurrect immediately. Actually, five-star professionals were the ideal candidates for curse demonization. Not only would their attribute increase be higher, but the key was their Skill intensity. The Skills of four-star professionals, even when Demonized, didn’t have much of a highlight. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 But once the Skills of five-star professionals were Demonized, every single one became extremely outstanding. A hundred Demonized five-star professionals would be even more incredible. It was just that five-star professionals were too hard to find; this was merely a second-best choice. The curse demonization process didn’t take much time; it only took a few seconds for everyone to complete it. "Very well! Form an army array and enter the instance dungeon! Great warriors! We await news of your meritorious deeds!" ...
