The moment he saw the self-selected talismans, Peter's mood could truly be described by the idiom "the shadows of the willows give way to bright flowers and another village."
Although the price was ridiculously high, the effect was truly logic-defying!
Unlike the previous random three-choice-one, which might draw a completely useless Snake Talisman, or street-side contestants like the Sheep and Monkey Talismans—which were useful, but not overly practical—this self-selected three-choice-one was an existence that could stably select one from the most absolute banger talismans!
Securing a bug-level capability for only twenty thousand sacrifice value. It was still that same saying: this time, it was impossible not to charge!
Accompanied by the sacrifice value being rapidly deducted from 27,000 points down to 7,000 points, a brand-new interface subsequently surfaced before Peter's eyes in the next second.
Aside from the already obtained Horse Talisman, the illusions of the remaining eleven talismans all floated before Peter's eyes, awaiting his choice.
Unlike the previous tense and tangled flipping of talismans one by one, this time, Peter made his choices very quickly:
"I choose the Dog Talisman, the Tiger Talisman, and... the Rabbit Talisman!"
The Dog Talisman and Tiger Talisman needed no extra words; these two were the capabilities Peter wanted to obtain most right now.
The combination of the former with the Horse Talisman meant absolute immortality. It belonged to immediately joining the Wind-and-Cloud-Mirror-Shadow Sect, where a single ding could turn on the health-lock cheat. At that time, even legendary existences whose strengths were far above Odin—like Galactus, Dormammu, or even the Celestials and OAA—would have no way to kill him.
As for the Tiger Talisman, that was an old story. It belonged to the category of how much Peter loathed it when he first obtained the system, versus how much he craved to obtain it right now.
With the absolute balancing force of the Tiger Talisman, the miscellaneous energy systems Peter had obtained up to now could truly achieve integration and mastery.
With the Tiger Talisman, Peter not only wouldn't need to exploit the bug of the small broken watch to maintain the transformation time of the Aesir and Vanir gods, but he could even combine the two, allowing himself to become a truly perfect ultimate race!
Even without mobilizing the capabilities of these two great divine races, merely using the stacking of various animal capabilities was enough to make him an ultimate lifeform surpassing Kars.
As for the final Rabbit Talisman, it was a choice Peter made after a brief trade-off. If Dog, Horse, and Tiger were top-tier T0, then the Rabbit and Dragon Talismans belonged to the existence of T0.5.
The former was the ultimate speed, even fast enough to make time flow backward. The latter represented endless energy, which could maximize the amplification of Peter's current output methods, providing him with terrifying energy sufficient to destroy a planet in one breath.
Comparing the two, Peter ultimately chose the former. Although the latter sounded very beautiful, this infinite energy possessed a usage restriction similar to "rage."
Even if such a restriction were canceled, its upper limit would be merely similar to Captain Marvel's Binary Mode or the existence of Sentry. In comparison, the operability of the Rabbit Talisman was still stronger.
Having made such choices, next up was the lottery time.
The three talismans—Dog, Tiger, and Rabbit—rotated at extreme speed in the air. A moment later, accompanied by a crisp clack sound, a simple hexagonal stone fell into Peter's hand.
Peter took a deep breath and flipped it open in one go, the image of a double-headed white tiger surfacing on its front.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Tiger Talisman!]
Looking at the Tiger Talisman emitting a faint, shimmering glow in his hand, Peter couldn't help but smile slightly.
The exact instant the Tiger Talisman entered his hand, a massive and pure stream of information instantly flooded into Peter's brain, causing Peter's understanding of the Tiger Talisman to rise up another step.
From the information stream provided by the system, it could be known that the Tiger Talisman had a total of three roles in Peter's hands.
The first kind, and also the one he valued most—the power to balance conflicts.
Peter rotated the small, broken watch on his wrist, adjusting the originally 100% Aesir god gene to 50%. After that, he rotated the small, broken watch again, switching to a 50% concentration of the Vanir god gene. Immediately following that, as Peter slammed down heavily on the watch dial, a magical thing happened!
Peter did not directly switch from the Aesir god to the Vanir god. Instead, he achieved a perfect coexistence of the two genes within his body!
The two celestial bloodlines operated together in an unprecedentedly harmonious posture. This joint operation caused a visible change to occur in Peter's body. A layer of holy and pure brilliance quickly surfaced on his body, and streaks of golden inscriptions emerged all over him.
Peter couldn't comprehend these inscriptions, yet he could roughly understand their role. These were channels! A kind of channel that communicated cosmic energy and magical energy.
The product of the combination of these two forces had a more common and easy-to-understand name—Divine Power!
Through these inscriptions, Peter could mobilize that profound and mystical divine power to guide it onto himself. On one hand, this divine power itself was the highest-tier tonic, capable of long-lasting and steadily tempering Peter's own physical body and mind.
On the other hand, once Peter gradually adapted to this force, he could do the exact same things as Odin in the future—such as using divine power to bestow blessings, thereby allowing originally ordinary people or objects to obtain extraordinary power.
After figuring out the usage method of this power, Peter subconsciously looked down at his small, broken watch. Sure enough, just as he expected, the remaining countdown on the dial had also vanished!
The transformation countdown of the small, broken watch was inherently an anti-addiction mechanism to prevent the user's mind and body from undergoing mutation. Right now, the Tiger Talisman is perfectly balanced, with power, good, and evil, naturally ensuring that Peter would not be affected by any erroneous "cognition." Therefore, the anti-addiction system of the small broken watch was directly and automatically lifted!
In the future, Peter could not only open this celestial form, but he could also utilize the genes collected in the small, broken watch to open even more fused forms!
With this thought, even Peter, who was used to seeing grand scenes, couldn't help but have his heart surge with waves. Super divine power + seamless fusion of the advantages of various species + seamless switching of all magical attributes...
An ultimate lifeform? No, it's a God-level lifeform! (Tactical lean-back)
In the future, let alone Kars, even if Odin came, he would have to shine his leather shoes!
After finishing sensing this balance power that could be called logic-defying, Peter turned his attention toward the second and third usages of the Tiger Talisman. These two usages were division and pacification, respectively.
The former was just like in the anime; when running into a troublesome and wicked villain in the future, Peter could try to split out the opponent's good side, allowing himself to enjoy the pleasure of a cricket fight.
As for the latter, it was utilizing the power of the Tiger Talisman to forcefully stabilize the mental state of others. It didn't have much of an effect on ordinary people, but it could play a miraculous effect when dealing with existences like Sentry, Scarlet Witch, and Hulk.
In the future, when these people fell into an uncontrollable rampage, he would only need a single head-pat kill to make them thoroughly lose their threat.
