The Over-Break System - Chapter 644 Unhappy Reunion, "Are you really my Brother?" (5)

Chapter 644 Unhappy Reunion, “Are you really my Brother?” (5)

Between Tobs’ overdramatic display and the incredulous status profiles he was reading, Brance was stunned into silence. Especially when reading the latter part, it was one thing for Cynrik and Selene to vanish into the shadow realm over a month ago, but when he realized that the entire time he had been worrying about them, the two had been having sex and fraternizing around without a care in the world, he felt rage bubbling deep inside of him.

Sure, Tobs had already informed him a month prior that the two had completed their first time, resulting in them getting married, and she had even partially explained the benefits the two had received, but he still felt as if he’d been slapped in the face.

However, hearing about something and reading the physical proof were entirely different stories.

But when he remembered the intimate moments he had been having with Gabby over the last couple of weeks, he couldn’t wholly blame his brother and new sister-in-law, and that thought slowly quelled the rage that threatened to spill over.

Physical intimacy was obviously going to occur at some point, especially in a couple whose actual age far surpassed their physical, and the only solace that Brance found was that Cynrik had taken “responsibility” before engaging in anything.

However, he was astounded when Brance read through the changes in Selene’s profile. She had obtained a percentage of his stats and a powerful boost; this alone was astronomical and had even closed the wide gap between him and Cynrik and Selene. You’ll find the origin of this content at n0velb!n•

If before Selene was the unofficial 3rd strongest, it was now official. She barely lagged behind them now, and that thought caused Brance to furrow his brow.

‘Tobs…’

-I know what you will ask, but my answer stays the same as it was a month ago. I am not confident in giving either a yes or no regarding something similar happening with you and Gabby.-

-There were simply too many outliers in the case of those two crazies. The biggest one was the shared Bloodline; everything down to their percentage was precisely the same, and one side wasn’t notably stronger than the other in this aspect; thus, there was no internal strife.-

-The same can’t be said between your LightBringer Blood and Gabby’s Human. So, as I said before, although your LightBringer Bloodline is considered “Compatible” with Humans, that doesn’t necessarily ensure she will receive any boost, as compatibility only refers to actual mating.-

‘Sigh, I understand, so what do I need to know about this Divine Force Accumulation thing? Considering the addition of its presence in their Status Profile was why we thought they were Corrupted Divines, I assume it has something to do with absorbing and acclimating to Divine Particles.’ Crossing his arms over his chest and shooting a glare at the crazy couple standing not far away, Brance asked.

-Uh…well, it’s pretty straightforward. Once your percentage reaches 100 percent, your Divinity Stat will be unlocked, and you will have met one of the requirements for Tier-7 advancement.-

-The fact that their bodies harbor so many Divine Particles is an unforeseen consequence. Until we have a method of resolving the leakage, they will continue to appear like Mana Zombies…er Corrupted Divines.-

Nodding his head, Brance then addressed Cynrik and Selene.

“So, who came up with the name Mana Zombie…let me guess, it was Cyn.” He stated as if he knew the answer already.

“Nope…that naming sense was all Sel, and I simply went along with it. I couldn’t care less what we called them, but the gains from killing them were pretty good, triple Xp even though they were technically a lower Tier than us and half a percent on our Divine Force percentage.” Shrugging his shoulders, Cynrik said what was on his mind but also continued.

“The only downside is the two of us have reached the Cap for Tier-3 and 4, which I didn’t know was a thing. According to Tobs, 50% is the highest we can achieve, then at Tier-5, it increases to 75%, and finally, at Tier-6, we can hit 100%.”

“Apart from killing Corrupted Divines, what is the standard method of increasing your accumulation rate?” Brance asked after coming to terms with things being as they were; however, the answer from Cynrik caused Brance to scrunch up his face.

“Hanging out in the DFZ, or as I call it, Divine Force Zone. Between training up your Grav Resistance, you also get minute increases in your Force Accumulation, but the percentage increase is qualitative to the pressure weighing you down.”

“The higher the Divine force, the quicker you can increase your percentage; if memory serves, we capped out at 15% down here, and even that took about a week. It wasn’t until we ventured closer to ground zero, or the Governor’s Mansion, that we saw a spike in our accumulation.”

“Uh…huh, now tell me the real reason you two have been ghosting our family and friends to stay down in the Shadow Realm, and don’t you dare give me some crock of shit excuses.” Getting to the next topic he wanted to address, Brance couldn’t help but remember a few conversations he had with Jessup about how the man had spotted Cynrik and Selene running amok around town, getting up to trouble of the not-so-legal variety.

“That…well, you see, what had happened was…” Selene started explaining their actions; however, Cynrik quickly cut her off and came clean, as he knew it would only make his brother more annoying if he lied.

“We were looting all the empty houses of the deceased. I won’t sugarcoat it because there is no reason to. Every house we hit was of some cocky stuck-up family, who were too ignorant to leave their homes without adequate strength to protect themselves.”

“Also, before you ask, I feel no remorse for robbing them blind, especially since I found WAY more than enough evidence that these families were involved in multiple illicit and illegal activities.”

“So before you chastise Selene and me, understand we basically only stole from the assholes who suppress others and left the homes of those who could weigh on your conscious alone.” Rolling his eyes and refusing to allow his brother a moment to interject, Cynrik spewed out plenty of information to throw Brance off their tails, primarily about certain families’ law-breaking habits.

From sex trafficking to drug trading or corrupt politicians or even murder plots, Cynrik had hundreds upon hundreds of documents detailing every single thing the rich and famous of Valor City had executed, leaving both Selene and Brance stunned as they watched a mountain of file folders dropping to the ground one after another.

This was something Cynrik had done in the background and why he had always headed to whatever office he found inside a mansion. It wasn’t difficult to dig up this dirty information, and he knew that when it came time to reveal their loot to Brance, he needed a plan.

Initially, he had thought to just lie to Brance; however, around the time he and Selene had begun their raids, Cynrik was aware of a certain powerful presence constantly watching his every action, and he assumed this to be Jessup, which, in turn, cut off any opportunity of hiding their actions in Reality.
