Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 87: Shared Heart Spirit Artifact
[From what you could guess, those weaker Wild Gods weren’t really a threat since there ought to be station world natives who were stronger than them.]
[For example, those Angels of Death were likely stronger than low-tier Wild Gods.]
[You didn’t have much reverence for these Wild Gods. You merely treated them as just beings who are at or above Platinum rank, and they just happened to have believers, unlike the average Platinum rank beings.]
[After all, if it were just starting a cult or religion, your Unlimited Food Creation (Gold) talent could literally allow you to become the God of Food in the real world.]
[And since they started a cult or religion, then their power system might be related to gathering the faith of all beings, which might have touched the interest of the World Will of the Train Survival World.] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
[After all, the actions of the Wild Gods would mean that they are claiming ownership of the lands where their churches are located.]
[’Whether we encounter them or not in the following station worlds, it isn’t a problem since I can use Hint Prompt to determine whether we can truly defeat them or not.’]
[’Moreover, the conflict between the Wild Gods and the World Will is within the best interest of Train Conductors since I’d be able to extort the World Will some resources and treasures in exchange for killing the avatars and even main bodies of those Wild Gods.’]
[You weren’t worried about biting off more than you can chew, as the Hint Prompt could also be used to determine the World Will’s bottom line.]
[That way, you can extort its resources to the extreme, where you’d just be a unit away from touching its bottom line but still within the acceptable range.]
[’Since Jade, Scarlet, and I have already become Peak Gold rank Spirit Avatar Masters, it’s no longer a problem to plunder this station world wantonly.’]
[’Unlike before, we can now do whatever we want since, from what I have discovered, there are no Platinum-rank beings in Steel City.’]
[Thinking of this, you asked Jade and Scarlet, "Are you both ready? I’ve already let my multiplication avatars find and retrieve the treasure chests and resources around the outer and inner areas of Steel City."]
["I’ve also let them deal with those weaker gangs in the city’s underworld, but only the top gangs that control the Spirit Avatar Master Black Market of Steel City are left."]
[You added, "We’ve already plundered the treasury of the Spirit Avatar Master Association. So that leaves us with the residents of those Gold rank Spirit Avatar Masters as well as the underworld."]
["From what my multiplication avatars discovered, the black market treasury jointly used and guarded by the three top gangs has a valuable treasure that even they don’t know the use of."]
[You paused for a while before informing, "One of my multiplication avatars died when approaching the treasury as that avatar was ganged up by three Gold rank Spirit Avatar Masters from those three top gangs."]
["My multiplication avatar was only at Peak Silver rank when I created it, so it wasn’t as powerful as I am now. Moreover, one of them had the disgusting ability of being able to share damage."]
["I couldn’t multiply my own Spirit Avatar, and this main body of mine is using Order King, so I couldn’t let my multiplication avatar use Order King. Due to that, the Shared Heart Spirit Avatar Master used his ability to share whatever damage he received with me."]
[Shaking your head in exasperation, you continued, "Fortunately, I manage to use my Hint Prompt talent on the three of them countless times, so I know the ins and outs of their three top gangs."]
["Because of that, I had controlled my multiplication avatar to fight to the death and kill Shared Heart. Before that avatar died, I had multiplied that avatar to take the corpse of Shared Heart and the spirit artifact he dropped."]
[Taking out the Shared Heart spirit artifact from your system inventory, you sighed, "Unfortunately, I didn’t get the Share Damage ability. The one I got is Heart Lock, his second spirit avatar ability."]
["Heart Lock works by obtaining the heart blood essence of the target. As long as that is obtained by the spirit avatar master, the spirit avatar master can then use Heart Lock to lock that target’s heart."]
["When a heart is locked, the life and death of the target is no longer within their hands but the whims of the wielder of this Shared Heart spirit artifact."]
["That spirit avatar master has huge trust issues, and so, he has used his Heart Lock on every subordinate of his gang. Because of that, with this Shared Heart spirit artifact, I now hold the life and death of those gang members."]
[Hearing your explanation, Jade looked at the heart-shaped crystal that you were holding in your left hand. The heart-shaped crystal had chains wrapped around it with a lock at the center.]
[Pointing her index finger towards the Shared Heart spirit artifact, Jade asked, "Darling, do you plan to let those gangsters become our cannon fodder soldier army with that spirit artifact or not?"]
[You shook your head, "I’ve used Hint Prompt and the flaws of Heart Lock are that while I’d know if they’ll betray me, it’s useless against those who no longer care about their lives."]
["I can use Heart Lock to let the hearts of those who betray me detonate and burst apart. However, if those gang members decided to betray even at the cost of their lives, then I wouldn’t be able to do anything."]
["Moreover, it also doesn’t work on any living beings who can survive even with their heart being destroyed. At most, this is only useful for a temporary means of controlling someone."]
[If this were a spirit artifact that could bind the soul instead of the heart, then you might be interested in using it. However, Shared Heart’s limits were too inconvenient, and it wasn’t worth the risk.]
[Looking at the Shared Heart spirit artifact, Scarlet pondered for a while before asking, "What if I use Void Reach and kill them from afar using the traces they left in Heart Lock?"]
