This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 997 - 468 Order Judgement

As the Shield Giant fell, cheers erupted from the outskirts.

Everyone watched this scene with great surprise: Another one down!

Initially, they were worried about the Ghost Captain facing six alone; they feared it might turn into a tough fight. However, it turned out to be incredibly smooth; within less than twenty minutes since the battle started, two Titans had already fallen, and their side remained unscathed.

If this continued, wouldn’t they be able to annihilate all the Titans within an hour?

The uninformed spectators were thrilled about this; however, Mu You, who was amidst the battle, was not so optimistic.

Less than two seconds after the Shield Giant’s demise, the Teleport Titan in the distance deliberately opened his eyes and teleported next to the unprotected female Titan, touched her, and the two of them then teleported together to an even further location, completely away from Mu You.

Clearly, the Teleport Titan had now taken over the Shield Giant’s role as the protector of the female Titan. Its teleporting abilities definitely served a protective purpose; by continuously teleporting, it could prevent Mu You from getting anywhere near the female Titan.

However, with the recent lesson, the Teleport Titan surely wouldn’t dare to shirk his duty and leave the female Titan’s side casually. This also meant that the Teleport Titan would be unable to join the battle hereafter, which was one of the few pieces of good news.

"So, four remain..."

Mu You looked over the four remaining Titans on the battlefield, then glanced down at his own hands.

After continuously casting Divine Arts and engaging in intense combat, he had clearly felt a decrease in his attributes.

While active, Divine Skin continuously burned attributes, and the rate of consumption was directly related to the intensity of the battle.

He was unlike Lin Xue; Lin Xue had managed to fight for hours on end with Divine Skin active because her task mainly involved delay tactics, merely needing to maintain the minimal efficiency to keep Divine Skin active while retreating, allowing other players to take over the offensive tasks.

But Mu You was engaged in a life-and-death battle, heavily outnumbered, with no chance to relax.

From the start of the battle, he had been at full throttle, his attributes burning away swiftly. Even though Divine Bone had just provided him with nearly a hundred points of attributes, it couldn’t withstand such rapid depletion.

Continuing this way, his Combat Power would only weaken.

"It seems I have no choice but to use this..."

Mu You hesitated for a few seconds, then shook his head before once again wielding the Pen of Order, forming a new halo above his head.

Attribute Lock: the first Divine Art of the Order lineage, which even followers can automatically acquire. The effect is that during the activation period, the attributes of all creatures within range, including four-dimensional attributes, the power and defense of Divinity, all kinds of resistances, etc., will not increase or decrease in any form. Also, after the Divine Arts effect ends, any weakness effects incurred but not yet actualized during the period will be immediately fully returned, and for a short period, they cannot receive a new "Attribute Lock" effect again.

In other words, once this Divine Art is activated, apart from health, all other panel data of all creatures in the vicinity will be locked.

This Divine Art has already been activated by virtually all players of the City of Dawn, but its usage rate is rather poor because it’s almost impossible to find a suitable occasion for its use.

Attribute Lock means that subsequent enhancement spells and Divine Arts cannot be applied.

Of course, if enhancements are applied before activating this Divine Art, these states can be maintained continuously, which is one of the few applications of this Divine Art.

Even so, the Order lineage is currently one of the most criticized divine systems. In the few days since the Divinity system went online, a catchphrase "Don’t team up with the Order lineage" has emerged on the internet.

It can’t be helped; the rule affecting both friends and foes alike in actual combat is a double-edged sword. For many teams, it’s not only useless but also occupies a team member who could be replaced by other attacking or supporting players, right?

Of course, Mu You was well aware this was because the Divine Art system had just been introduced, and the effects and coordination of various abilities had not yet been developed.

In fact, players of the Order lineage, currently much maligned, will become indispensable members of each team in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just take Divine Skin; once most players have acquired their respective Divine Skins in the future, if without Attribute Lock, they could only fight briefly each time and would always need to be cautious about the intensity of the battle, not daring to exert full strength lest the Divine Skin wear out too quickly.

But once Attribute Lock is activated, there’s no need to worry about this anymore; at least for the duration of the Attribute Lock, everyone can afford to use Divine Skin extensively without worrying about consumption, which will be extraordinarily significant in the players’ future exploration of the Titan world.

Of course, that’s a story for another time.

For now, Mu You had activated Attribute Lock to pause the consumption of Divine Skin, allowing him to continue fighting at full strength.

Next, he needed to maintain high-intensity suppression of the Titans, not giving them any chance to breathe, so he had to make use of this rule.

However, Attribute Lock doesn’t directly cancel the consumption of Divine Skin; rather, it pauses the consumption from taking effect immediately. Once the Divine Arts effect ends, the attributes burned during the period would still be deducted immediately.

This meant that once the duration of "Attribute Lock" ran out, his attributes might instantly plummet, making it impossible to sustain Divine Skin.

As for the duration of Attribute Lock... because Mu You was learning nine Divine Arts simultaneously, he didn’t have much Divinity available to upgrade each Divine Art; currently, Attribute Lock was only at LV3, which could last for one hour.
