Chapter 32 - 32: The True Charm of Stats

[Reality Editor upgraded to Version 3.0.]

[Item Library updated, Skill Library updated, Character Attribute Allocation updated, Terrain Movement bug fixed, NPC Template function enabled, 3D Stereoscopic View updated. Current Anomaly Points: 2000 / 2100]

Luke opened the update log.

Hm? The scope of this update is pretty big.

So a major update triggers every two versions…

Luke noticed that the upper limit for character attribute modification had changed from an increase of 10 per 0.1 version to an increase of 255 per 0.1 version.

This meant that after upgrading to Version 3.1, each attribute could be increased by 255.

Luke immediately raised his own attributes to the current limit and applied the Thor character template.

Attributes:

Strength 1300 (500+800),

Intelligence 200,

Agility 400 (200+200),

Endurance 1100 (300+800),

Soul Strength 200,

Energy 3000 (1000+2000)

At that moment, Luke suddenly realized that after applying the Thor template, and stimulated by the Power of Thor granted by the ten Mjolnir, the character template had transformed into the Awakened Thor Template (Thor from the Ragnarok movie).

Wait, so now I'm Awakened Thor with ten hammers?!

Luke's expression turned extremely strange.

Besides this, after the upgrade, the Item Library and Skill Library unlocked even more powerful items and skills.

Among them were resurrection items, including Resurrection Coins, Resurrection Crosses, and Mass Resurrection Scrolls.

There were also life-saving items like the Substitute Puppet and Invincibility Potion.

The Substitute Puppet could absorb one instance of fatal damage.

The Invincibility Potion granted absolute invincibility for fifteen seconds.

Furthermore, there was an Easter Egg item:

[Popeye's Can of Spinach (Unlicensed Product) * 3: Originating from a small, unlicensed workshop in Popeye's World.

After consuming the spinach, instantly transform into a muscular demon.

All character attributes increase ten thousandfold for three minutes (Maximum three portions recoverable daily; multiple uses are stackable).]

[Note: Sir, may I offer you a delicious serving of spinach? Huh? Why is your head so pointy?]

Damn, damn, daaayuuummm~ 10,000X for three minutes!?!!

Luke sucked in a sharp breath. He hadn't expected such a powerful item to appear as early as Version 3.0.

So this is the charm of stats—a ten-thousand-fold increase!

"I remember that before I transmigrated, the crossover map included both the unlicensed and official versions of Popeye's can of spinach. If the unlicensed product is already this outrageous, how terrifying must the official version be?"

Luke thought for a moment. He recalled that in the original Popeye comics, during his peak moments after eating spinach, he had even withstood the destruction of the universe.

A feat like that would make him a major figure even in the Marvel world.

More importantly, Popeye was a gag-comic character.

"Even if it's only three portions per day, that's more than enough."

Luke immediately extracted all the spinach from the Item Library and placed it into his inventory.

Although he lost the attribute bonus from one Mjolnir, a life-saving item like this was absolutely worth dedicating an inventory slot.

He then continued reading through the update log.

The NPC Character Template now allowed him to view the names, attributes, and objectives of red dots, yellow dots, and other markers on the 3D Stereoscopic View.

As long as something was within the range of the 3D Stereoscopic View, no life could escape Luke's eyes.

As for the final Terrain Movement bug fix...

After a simple test, Luke discovered that he could freely move all objects within the range of the 3D Stereoscopic View. Regardless of whether other living entities were present, everything was completely under his control.

In essence, this entire area had become Luke's absolute domain.

He could not only move objects at will, but also change the weather within that range.

With a single thought, he could alter heaven and earth.

"Arg.. Buddy, what did you eat growing up? I mean no disrespect, but how are you even stronger than those Giants?"

Thor struggled to climb out of the pit, his arms trembling weakly.

During the fight just now, he had already realized that Luke's combat techniques weren't particularly refined.

But Luke's raw stats were overwhelming.

He still remembered the moment Luke's iron fists kept enlarging. Thor had done everything he could to resist, but that unstoppable force instantly shattered all his defenses and slammed straight into his chest.

In that moment, Thor felt like he saw his great-grandmother.

Even with the Power of Thor strengthening him, it still took several seconds before he regained consciousness.

Luke snapped back from his thoughts and said lightly under Thor's awkward gaze, "You've already lost."

Thor subconsciously shook his head. "No, I'm perfectly fine right now. I haven't lost yet."

Luke raised an eyebrow and flexed his fist.

"Still being stubborn? Saying one thing but meaning another, huh? Fine—today I'm going to test just how stubborn that mouth of yours is."

Before Thor could react, Luke had already teleported behind him.

Mjolnir was wrapped in endless, roaring lightning, and Luke's Strength stat of 1300 erupted in full force.

He had already checked Thor's stats. In his current Hammer God state, Thor's Strength was only 500, and his Endurance was 450.

Just looking at the numbers, Luke's Strength was only a little more than double Thor's—but reality wasn't that simple.

This was the real world. Beyond Strength, the Endurance attribute—damage resistance, recovery speed, and so on—also played a massive role.

Thor's punches couldn't even pierce Luke's defense, but a single punch from Luke was enough to completely daze Thor.

Truly daze him.

Boom!!

Thor instinctively twisted around and swung his hammer with all his might.

But Luke caught the head of Mjolnir tightly with one hand, and with the other hand, he swung one of his own Mjolnir at Thor's left cheek in an eighty-fold heavy strike.

Lightning exploded with a deafening roar.

Centered on the impact between Thor's left cheek and the hammerhead, a terrifying wave of thunder erupted. The rampaging lightning surged outward for dozens of meters, scorching everything black in its wake.

Everything happened too fast. Thor's eyes widened as his brain felt scrambled, his consciousness turning fuzzy.

He lost his balance and was driven deep into the earth like a nail.

Only his dazed head remained visible. "So many stars…"

Luke picked up the Mjolnir that had fallen to the ground and stored it in his inventory. Just as he was about to speak, the clouds in the distant sky were suddenly torn apart by a terrifying force.

Boom!

The light of the Bifrost slammed down onto the open ground at the edge of the town, and three men and one woman walked out.

It was the Warriors Three and Sif.

[Discovered abnormal objects — Sif, Fandral, Volstagg, Hogun. Gained 400 Anomaly Points.]

[Reality Editor upgraded to Version 3.1. Current Anomaly Points: 300 / 2200]

Luke silently allocated 255 points to each of his six attributes.

The 3D view expanded outward by another kilometer; now, a full 3-kilometer radius belonged to Luke's domain.

"Thor?" The Warriors Three and Sif were horrified to see only Thor's head sticking out of the ground.

"Bastard, how dare you hurt Thor!" 

They instantly drew their weapons and charged toward Luke.

As elite Asgardian warriors and Thor's recognized companions, their physical abilities far surpassed ordinary Asgardians.

They were above Captain America's level and roughly comparable to Spider-Man (Not the comic version. Comic Spidy is a god ngl).

In just two or three steps, they crossed more than a hundred meters, leaping forward as if taking flight.

"Wait, wait!"

Thor shouted loudly to stop them. The Warriors Three paused mid-charge, subconsciously pulling back their strength.

However, before they could stop, Luke casually waved his hand—like swatting away a few flies.

He forcefully lifted a massive chunk of earth thirty meters wide and ten meters tall, turning it into an enormous missile that blasted the four of them hundreds of meters away with a thunderous crash.

[Defeated abnormal objects Sif, Fandral, Volstagg, Hogun. Gained 2000 Anomaly Points.]

[Reality Editor upgraded to Version 3.2. Current Anomaly Points: 100 / 2300]

Stopping was impossible.

Pausing even for a nanosecond would be disrespectful to the Anomaly Points!!
