Levi patted Hestia's thigh, signaling for her to get off him. He then grabbed a piece of parchment and a pen and began to write down the contents of the Lv.3 Genshin Gacha Pool one by one.
The twin-tailed goddess sat beside the young man, and every time she saw a new term, she would ask in detail about its effect.
Levi, in turn, would patiently recite the descriptions that only he could see.
After an hour of this...
"Levi, I think I understand your original plan now," Hestia said with a contemplative and calm expression. "First, you were going to pull for a mid-tier Constellation Exchange Ticket for an offensive-oriented Skill or Burst, and one Vision, to increase your combat DPS. Then, you'd pull for five mid-tier Artifact Exchange Tickets to get the most basic and direct all-stat boost. If you happened to 'miss'—hmm, I believe that's the word?—and got a five-star weapon, you would just use that. If not, you'd specifically pull for a 'Key of Khaj-Nisut,' whose stats increase maximum HP."
"That way, with the bonuses from the artifacts and the weapon, plus your 'Mana Burst,' you'd be able to block even a Lv.5-level opponent with relative ease, thanks to a shield that's at least Lv.4 in strength."
"The prerequisite, however, was that you chose the Development Ability 'Spirit Healing' when you leveled up to Lv.3, not your current 'Genshin.'"
Levi nodded.
Magic allows one to fight above their level. Even the most common and seemingly useless spells like Fireball or Ice Arrow have the advantages of being chantless, fast, and low in mana cost.
However, low mana cost does not mean that one's Mind won't be depleted in battle.
Why is the Loki Familia's 'Nine Hells' so renowned? Isn't it because she is, on the surface, the only one in Orario with the Development Ability 'Spirit Healing'? As long as she uses magic, her Mind automatically recovers, allowing her to become a powerful magical cannon for extended periods with just a little care.
Originally, Levi could have become a similar special case.
With 'Spirit Healing,' he could have even designated his mid-tier Artifact Exchange Tickets for the Tenacity of the Millelith set, whose two-piece bonus provides a 'significant increase to the durability stat,' maximizing his own tankiness.
But now, that plan needed some adjustments.
Hestia continued, "As your unique Development Ability, 'Genshin' isn't necessarily worse than 'Spirit Healing.' In fact, the 'Constellation Resonance' skill alone is enough to make your future even brighter."
"So, should I max out the 'Felis Catus' Constellation first?" Levi understood the subtext from his goddess.
Hestia didn't deny it. "If I were you, that's exactly what I would do."
"Alright, let's do that."
Having received his lover's advice, Levi no longer hesitated. He opened the Lv.2 Genshin Gacha Pool and set the low-tier Constellation Exchange Ticket as the rate-up item.
Subsequently, 600k, 1.4 million, 700k, and 1.3 million—a total of 4 million Valis—disappeared in an instant.
[Development Ability: Luck I → Luck H (Pity count -10, base rate-up probability for designated item +20%)]
With the 'Luck' Development Ability, Levi's luck had indeed become much better than before.
At least not every round of pulls had to go to the very last moment to trigger the soft or hard pity.
However, the two off-banner items he got this time were both Catalyst-type weapons, so they were useless to Levi. He could only toss them into his inventory to collect dust for now.
Inside the Cryo Vision, the last four Stellae symbolizing the Felis Catus constellation lit up one after another.
Immediately after, an unbearable feeling of hunger suddenly washed over Levi.
He didn't suppress his desire, but instead followed his instincts and used the 'Constellation Resonance' skill.
Then, Hestia, standing nearby, saw six stars faintly light up behind Levi.
Their arrangement was precisely that of the 'Felis Catus' constellation!
"A constellation… fate… power… and a false sky, the law that all who live must die…"
A sapphire light bloomed in the twin-tailed goddess's pupils. As she watched her child, a divine aura emanated from her.
After about ten seconds, the phenomenon vanished. Hestia exhaled a breath. "I see. So the other world connected to Levi through the[Unknown]is not so peaceful either, hmm~"
Compared to the goddess who understood the general situation of the Genshin world after just a few glances, Levi, who was activating the Constellation Resonance, was experiencing a journey of memories.
He had become a Kätzlein girl named 'Diona Kätzlein.'
From birth to death.
From a child to a withered old woman.
Diona was just a bartender; her life was mostly without major turmoil.
There were only two exceptions. The first was when she obtained her Vision, and her fate was completely anchored by the false sky.
The second was because of her firm belief in the legend of the 'Spring Fairy,' who, unbeknownst to her, granted her the blessing of a 'cup that would always be filled with fine wine.'
When Levi opened his eyes again, more than two hours had passed.
[Development Ability: Genshin I → Genshin H]
[Constellation Resonance · 6-Star (-): Description omitted. Current number of engraved constellations: 1/2.]
[Felis Catus]
[Equipped Magic:]
[Skill · Icy Paws · 4-Star (-): Consume 2 Mana to form a Cryo cat-paw projectile. Up to five can be formed simultaneously. When a projectile hits a target, it grants the user a Cryo shield with damage absorption proportional to their durability stat, or adds extra damage absorption to an existing shield. The shield consumes 10 Mana per minute while active. The shield's damage absorption can be stacked up to 10 times the user's durability stat.]
[Burst · Signature Mix · 5-Star (-): Consume 200 Mana to create a bottle of illusory liquor. When thrown to the ground, it creates a Drunken Mist field that continuously restores the HP of the user and units marked as allies, while also dealing Cryo damage to other units. The healing effect is proportional to the user's durability stat. The area and duration are affected by the user's level and mana modifiers.]
[1st Stella Fortuna Bonus: When the Drunken Mist field created by 'Signature Mix' disappears, restores 15% of the constellation holder's maximum mana (up to a maximum of 150 Mana).]
[2nd Stella Fortuna Bonus: 'Icy Paws' damage is moderately increased, and the damage absorption of the shield formed is moderately enhanced. When a cat-paw projectile hits a target, it can grant units marked as allies a Cryo shield with half the damage absorption of a normal shield, or add half the damage absorption amount to an ally's existing shield.]
[3rd Stella Fortuna Bonus: Enemies within the Signature Mix field have their strength moderately decreased.]
[4th Stella Fortuna Bonus: While within the Signature Mix field, the constellation holder's accuracy with bows is moderately enhanced.]
[5th Stella Fortuna Bonus: Units protected by the Icy Paws shield have their agility moderately increased and their stamina consumption moderately reduced.]
