[Genesis Species·Divine Being (Red/Can Copy)]
[Trait Description: Red talent trait, unexplainable, beyond explanation]
[Trait Effect: Upon activation, host's body will develop divine characteristics absolutely identical to the copy source, effects unknown (not recommended for copying - with host's current soul and physical strength, unable to withstand such power growth)]
"The current body can't handle it, what a pity."
"But it's understandable. After all, the gap between humans and gods is too vast. Wanting to reach heaven in one step is ultimately unrealistic."
[Good and Evil Judgment (Red)]
[Trait Description: Red talent trait, unexplainable, beyond explanation]
[Long-lived Species·Elf (Gold-Red/Can Copy)]
[Trait Description: Divine being's elf racial form / One who achieved godhood as an elf]
[Trait Effect: Upon activation, host's body will develop elf divine characteristics identical to copy source, lifespan massively increased, all magical talents massively increased, constitution massively increased, magic resistance massively increased, curse resistance massively increased, perception ability massively increased (copy with caution - with host's current soul and physical strength, original body characteristics will be extremely suppressed after copying, everything dominated by copy source characteristics)]
[(Situations include but not limited to: gender, height, body type, sexual characteristics, emotions, thinking patterns)]
"Hiss—"
Gut sucked in cold air, the fire in his heart instantly extinguished.
He did want power, but this power absolutely shouldn't come at the cost of his manhood. If he really gender-swapped and lost his equipment, what would he face his teacher with?
Grinding soy milk?
Next one, next one.
[Holy Magic Affinity (Gold-Red/Can Copy)]
[Trait Description: Supreme cultivation aptitude for holy magic]
[Trait Effect: Upon activation, host will gain the theoretically strongest holy magic talent in the current world. Whether practicing magic speed or casting magic effects, all will reach the current world's theoretical strongest category. Magic accumulation speed will also be greatly enhanced]
[(Holy magic in the current world is also known as Goddess Magic)]
"Holy shit!"
"Copy! Copy!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Gut frantically pressed the copy option for this talent trait, afraid something might go wrong if he delayed even a second.
[Ding!]
[Copy initiated, talent trait copy opportunity -1]
[Copying in progress, current progress 1% 2% 5%]
"Huff- huff--"
Gut breathed heavily with excitement. During the copying interval, he continued browsing the Goddess's remaining talent traits, seeing if there were others that suited his taste for another haul.
After all, the Goddess's trait template was both numerous and powerful - completely the ceiling of this world.
[Copying in progress, current progress 57% 63% 79%]
"Almost there, it's almost done."
Having already locked onto the next copy target, Gut stared at the nearly complete progress bar, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
Because the Goddess painting hanging in the cathedral was now emanating holy light visible even to ordinary believers.
The devout priests also unconsciously slowed their prayers.
[Copying in progress, current progress 81% 89% 95%]
[96% 97% 98% 99%]
"Come on! Just a little more!!!"
However, no matter how much Gut cheered himself on internally, even holding his breath until he became a "breath-holding boy," the numbers on the system interface stopped jumping peacefully.
The next moment.
<·Naughty child peeping at me·>
<·I found you·>
Two gentle female voices suddenly exploded in Gut's mind.
"Oh crap!"
The female voice in his mind had just fallen when the holy light from the Goddess painting in the cathedral gathered into a light orb, flying straight toward Gut's location.
Seeing the situation was dire, Gut instantly mobilized all his magical power, activating Curse Reversal Magic without regard for cost.
Massive magical energy directly covered Gut's entire body, trying to reflect this unknown holy light orb back.
However, watching this holy light easily penetrate the defensive layer constructed by Curse Reversal Magic, Gut gritted his teeth and couldn't care about anything else.
Sorry! Goddess, you forced me to do this!!!
His free left hand raised toward the holy light as Gut shouted: "Steal!"
[Magic Name: Steal Magic (Kazuma's Signature Move)]
[Actual Casting Effect: For opposite gender, this magic will specifically steal the target's underwear; for same gender, high probability of stealing valuable items on their person]
Pouring all remaining magical power into this spell, Gut's left hand released it point-blank at the holy light orb.
Instantly, the holy light orb's trajectory stopped, then scattered into falling light rain.
Believers cheered and reached out to catch this manifestation of the Goddess's miracle; priests clasped their hands together to welcome the Goddess's descent; however, Heiter directed his gaze toward Gut sitting in the back row.
If his earlier observation wasn't wrong, that holy light seemed to be flying toward Gut.
Meanwhile, Gut at the storm's center stood stunned in place, watching continuous pop-ups on the system interface.
[Ding!]
[Talent Trait: Holy Magic Affinity (Gold-Red) successfully copied, awaiting activation]
[Ding!]
[Due to event influence, host's original talent trait [Atheist (White)] has disappeared]
[Due to event influence, host gained talent trait [His Gaze (Colorless)]]
[Due to event influence, host gained talent trait [Bathed in Holy Power (Blue)]]
[His Gaze (Colorless)]
[Trait Description: Divine gaze has been cast upon you]
[Trait Effect: Your existence has entered His sight; how this will develop, no one knows]
[Bathed in Holy Power (Blue)]
[Trait Description: Bathed in pure holy power condensed by the Goddess, body nourished]
[Trait Effect: Body nourished by holy power, energy becomes abundant, internal abnormalities and diseases will be healed (Note: This talent trait is temporary, will gradually decrease in grade over time until disappearing)]
"Being targeted by a divine being... how troublesome." Gut couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, since I'm already being watched, I won't hold back anymore."
"System, activate talent trait Holy Magic Affinity (Gold-Red)."
[Ding!]
[Activation successful!]
At the same time, in Aureole.
The Goddess extended her palm, tightly gripping the underwear she had reclaimed from that "indescribable" power, her expression clearly unpleasant.
"What terrible magic. Gut, is it? I've remembered your name."
"But..."
"What he used first should have been Curse Reversal Magic, right?"
"Hard to imagine a human mage could master it at his age, and this magic usage pattern seems similar to an elf I once knew..."
"Serie, this... couldn't be your disciple, could it?"
On the other side.
The elf lying in bed continued sleeping soundly. Feeling sunlight streaming through the window, she simply turned over, lying face-down on her pillow to continue sleeping.
Completely unconcerned about having to conduct mage examinations.
Anyway, her disciple would wake her at the appropriate time.
Mm, better to keep sleeping.
