A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2292 - 1548: I Really Don’t Want This! (Now I’m Suddenly Broke)

In the following days, Duanmu Huai spent most of his time on three things.

Overseeing the completion of the Planet Fortress, collecting more dark matter, and... sleeping.

Yes, you heard it right, sleeping.

After all, having finally obtained the Dao Heart Planting Demon, it’s only natural to enhance his side’s combat power as much as possible before the final battle!

So, besides Wang Yuyan, Little Dragon Girl, and Wan Wan, Duanmu Huai also started seeking others for... practice.

Duanmu Huai naturally chose those with whom he had close relationships and prior experience. For instance, Mianmu Zuoniao, Ling’Nu, Kendou Kanami, Alice Phil, Medea, Mugeng... All of their powers indeed improved significantly. Alice Phil and Medea showed the most noticeable enhancement, perhaps because they are Heroic Spirits, and they absorb well in this aspect. Next were Ling’Nu and Mianmu Zuoniao, while Kendou Kanami showed the least improvement, possibly because she couldn’t fully open up...

By the way, as for the sisters Stheno and Euryale, Duanmu Huai directly gave up on them.

They originally had little combat power, no matter how much you improve them, zero multiplied is still zero. Expecting them to fight on the front lines is less reliable than expecting them to behave.

Of course, this also brought Duanmu Huai a side effect—not soreness and weakness, nor numbness and kidney deficiency.

"I really don’t want this..."

Looking at the system interface in front of him, Duanmu Huai was on the verge of tears.

[God of Joy (Intermediate Divine Power)]

[Level: 10]

[Hold Skills: Quality Observation, Pink Magic, Dao Heart Planting Demon, V Skill (LV10), Skill Skill (LV7), Tentacle Skill (LV5), Fallen Seal (Imprint)]

[Divine Position Enhancement Task Available]

"...It seems Ling’Nu went overboard that time."

Duanmu Huai reached out to press his forehead, shaking his head helplessly. After learning Duanmu mastered a cultivation technique called Dao Heart Planting Demon, which enhances strength through dual cultivation, Ling’Nu was the most excited and thrilled. She even stated she was willing to call the entire Female Ninja Village to let Duanmu enhance their strength.

Since female ninjas were originally trained for this, now they could not only train but also increase their power through this method. Ling’Nu was obviously more than happy.

Duanmu did not object to this, so the two went to the Ninja Village in Duel City, and then Duanmu was alone against the whole village of a thousand female ninjas. It must be said that these female ninjas were skilled in artful techniques, indeed, each brought significant shock and thrill to Duanmu, but Duanmu was no pushover.

While it’s said that two fists can’t fight four hands, Duanmu’s tentacles were more than just four. Soon, Duanmu unleashed a tentacle offensive, in a literal sense, defeating the Female Ninja Village, blood flowing like a river, paving a path to pure white victory.

And Duanmu experienced the company of an emperor’s three thousand harem beauties.

Just that perhaps it was too much. When Duanmu returned to the Tribunal with a slightly sore waist, he saw the system prompt before him.

And then Duanmu was stunned.

He originally thought that with only these people, how could it be that quick to max out the God of Joy. Even counting all the female ninjas in the Ninja Village, it wasn’t even close to a thousand. And with his previous God of Destruction, he had destroyed countless powers, billions of lives. Even the Ancient Dominator, he killed quite a few Old Gods to absorb them.

But this God of Joy... Honestly, Duanmu didn’t expect that at level 10, he could enhance it?

So, should he go?

Duanmu stared at the system prompt, speechless and conflicted.

Initially, when Duanmu got this divine position, he only thought of using it against the Obsessive Sin. But later, he realized he couldn’t handle it, so he gave up.

Although there is a Pleasure Star God in the Outer Star System, Duanmu thought they weren’t of the same kind. Their differences might be greater than his with the Destructive Star God.

Frankly, Duanmu had mostly given up on enhancing the God of Joy. Yet, it came to him on its own?

Well... when things are unusual, something’s up.

Duanmu squinted, staring at the system. He still remembers, he got this divine position through a dream in Duel City, getting a Kaleidoscope. Then he inexplicably got this divine position. Honestly, Duanmu felt that among his four divine positions, only this God of Joy came unclear and ambiguous.

The God of Destruction was something Duanmu sought himself, no problem.

The Ancient Dominator came from slaying Old Gods, also fine.

The Sixth Heavenly Demon King was obtained by taking down Tathagata, also normal.

So the question arises.

Why did this God of Joy find its way to him? What did he do related to joy?

Thinking carefully, it seems like nothing.

There’s always a feeling that the system is forcing him to accept this God of Joy.

Why is that? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Why?

Duanmu idly clicked on the GM complaint while deep in thought.

And in front of him, as always, was the system prompt.
