CHAPTER 520: CHAPTER 455: THIRTY-TWO DEFENSES

At this point, the red-haired director sitting in the chair stood up, propping both hands on the table and leaning toward Leon, then opened her mouth.

"Ah..."

Ah?

Looking at the tender red tip of the tongue exposed between the two rows of pearly white teeth, Leon momentarily felt a little dumbfounded.

According to logic, shouldn’t you explain your journey and use your experience to tell me that there are no useless abnormal objects, only useless cleaners, so I shouldn’t look down on the Black Goat? Why did you inexplicably open your mouth?

"Nya! Flower God what da?"

"You mean... you want me to reach in and touch it?"

"Mm-hmm!"

So that’s it!

Finally understanding, Leon nodded and then, according to the red-haired director’s request, extended his finger and lightly tapped the tip of her tongue, which was as lively as a little snake and as tender as chive leaves.

However, nothing happened.

"?"

What are you randomly poking at? I want you to feel my teeth!

Receiving Leon’s puzzled look, the red-haired director rolled her eyes impatiently, then gently tilted her head and voluntarily bit Leon’s finger that had reached into her mouth.

"Sss..."

In the familiar noise, a string of information popped up one after another, unfurling before Leon’s eyes.

...

[Name: Second Guard御 (Protection, Activation, Concealment)]

[Appearance: A white hard incisor, with a glossy and bright enamel, not only has it not been decayed, but no trace of wear is found]

[Abilities: Flesh and blood protection, temporary enhancement, anomaly disturbance immunity]

[Cost: Completely lose the original tooth, both the flesh body and the soul, permanently retaining the corresponding defect]

[File: To ensure the safety of anomaly number 004 "Twelve Ant Nests," the Director of Taurus, on her own initiative, prepared to gather the secret techniques of Taurus, Aquarius, Capricorn, and Sagittarius palaces, to collectively create a set of defensive anomaly objects.

This set of anomaly objects is based on the Aquarius Palace’s "Anomaly Creation" secret technique, strengthened by the Sagittarius Palace "Anomaly Reinforcement" secret technique for defense effects, the Capricorn Palace "Anomaly Concealment" secret technique adds the disturbance immunity trait, and was finally completed through the Taurus Palace "Anomaly Forge" secret technique.

After thirty-two days of effort, the four directors ultimately created thirty-two defensive anomaly objects, named "Thirty-Two御," held by the Clean-up Bureau’s Virgo Division Chief Olivia, and it continues to this day...

Note: This anomaly object is one of the "Eight Flesh Guards" of the "Thirty-Two御," specifically guarding the body, as the Second Guard.

[Evaluation: An extremely tough defensive anomaly object, though the effect is very singular, after targeted reinforcement by the Sagittarius secret technique, in a normal state, it is enough to resist the majority of physical attacks.

If activated, while the consumption increases significantly, the protection effect will drastically increase under the Sagittarius secret technique, and due to the Capricorn secret technique’s immunity effect, the protection effect of this anomaly object is almost impossible to be weakened by other anomalies.]

[Contamination Value: 3.2 (Inactive) (Whole Set) -32 (Activated) (Whole Set)]

...

[Name: Sixth Knowledge Guard御 (Protection, Activation, Concealment)]

[Appearance: A white hard incisor...]

[Abilities: Cognitive enhancement...]

[...]

[Contamination Value: ...]

...

[Name: Tenth Soul Awakening Guard御 (Protection, Activation, Concealment)]

[Appearance: A white hard canine...]

[Abilities: Soul revival...]

[...]

[Contamination Value: ...]

...

What the—?!

Seeing the anomaly information popping up like a barrage, Leon couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock, touching the red-haired director’s molar in disbelief:

"All 32 of your teeth... are defensive anomaly objects?"

Heh, heh, how about that? Surprised?

Very satisfied with Leon’s shocked expression, the red-haired director raised her eyebrows and said:

"Um-wah-la..."

Tsk, fingers are still in there.

"Ptooey!"

Letting go of the teeth and tilting her head back, spitting out Leon’s finger, the red-haired director took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, then said with a smiling face:

"This set of items, although not numbered, is not any worse than anomalies numbered under thirty. In terms of protection capability alone, it can even easily be in the top three.

At that time, to craft this set of items, not only was the expenditure in the bureau enormous, but I almost handed over all the anomalies I had saved in the past. Yet, the resulting protection level is unparalleled.

With the "Thirty-Two御" fully activated, I almost have no weaknesses, even a Four Pillar God with a 70-point Leon Value wouldn’t be able to topple me with sneak attacks; it would be forced to endure[Slaughter Blood Hair]’s attacks and go head-to-head with me until I exhaust myself."

"..."

The system’s evaluation is spot-on, your set of anomaly objects is genuinely extraordinarily tough...

Recalling the protection effects he touched, and thinking about the scene when those True Gods faced his director, Leon couldn’t help but hiss, feeling a sense of despair for them.

This so-called[Thirty-Two御]defensive anomaly object is like thirty-two incredibly solid pieces of armor. Add in the director’s almost seventy-point Contamination Value, and defensively, the director is practically an iron fortress... an impregnable gate!

"Leon."

Unaware of her definition, swaying between amphibians and metallic types, the red-haired director looked at Leon’s thoughtful expression and gently reminded him:

"I’m telling you all this because I want you to know that although the status of an anomaly is important, the most crucial things are its capabilities and features. As long as you have enough strength and a high Leon Value, even lower-tier anomaly objects can play a significant role in True God-level battles.

Just like my[Thirty-Two御], although each individual piece has a low Leon Value, altogether it only amounts to thirty-two points, but in my hands, it can be tough enough to give all True Gods a headache."

"Similarly, although that stupid sheep is only near God-level, its seven parts each embody an original sin, and its abilities are very outstanding. If used well, it’s honestly not bad, which is why I kept that stupid sheep by my side before.

Leon, when you someday have a sixty-point Leon Value, these seven pieces of that stupid sheep could also play a[Thirty-Two御]level of effect, so if they can be collected, they should be collected as much as possible."

"..."

I understand now...

Although the red-haired director spoke somewhat tactfully, Leon still understood the underlying message...

It’s not about the sheep being useless, but about the person being unable.

Although the battle record is quite impressive, my current Contamination Value is really too low, and the opponents I face are too fierce, so the sheep parts, despite their excellent abilities, can’t affect the target, failing to showcase their effects.

While anomalies like [Unfair Snake Pact] and [Hand of Screams], due to their materials being of True God level, can compulsorily affect True God-level targets with their high status, it doesn’t mean they are necessarily more useful than the sheep set. At least, I am not yet in a position to dismiss them.

Hmm... seems like I’ve been having it too good recently, I seem to have gotten a bit carried away.

After repeatedly admonishing myself internally to maintain my mindset, avoid arrogance, and stay impetuous, Leon took a deep breath and sincerely thanked:

"Thank you, Director, I will definitely keep these words in mind... By the way, where’s the sheep’s tail now?"

"Still on that female reporter’s butt."

Pointing to the storage room diagonally opposite her office, used for storing wine, the red-haired director said with a smile:

"I’m only good at killing demons, not making them listen to me. If you want to obtain that anomaly object, you’ll have to negotiate with her butt yourself."
