Chapter 78-3: Infinite Monster Soul (3) |
To resolve their doubts, Iron Hammer decided to post a help thread on the forum.
[Brothers, this is bad. The Sixth-Generation Primordial effect might not be as powerful as we thought.]

Ahem, don’t flame me yet. You’ve all probably seen the announcement. We were lucky enough to finish off a dying Sixth-Generation Primordial, but we’re having trouble using the ability…
Here’s the situation: out of 15 rolls, only 3 people received enhancements while the other 12 ended up weakened. The odds of receiving an enhancement seem pretty low. I’m not sure if we’re just terribly unlucky or if there’s an issue with the probability itself. Any experts out there who can analyze this?
The Kindergarten players’ post quickly attracted a large crowd of players, including some strategy-focused players who joined the discussion.
Darkness Approaches: First of all, let me curse you, you bastards! You actually managed to pick up a Sixth-Generation Primordial? How many years of your lifespan have you burned playing this game?
Now, let’s analyze your situation.
I’ve tested two monster souls related to luck in the test tower’s monster soul library.
Here are the analysis screenshots of the two monster souls.

[Blessing (Tier-5 Primordial Monster Soul)]

These two monster souls performed terribly in testing, providing zero combat power boosts. I even ran a monster soul power poll, and both of these were voted into the top ten weakest monster souls. Despite their high tiers, they had no practical use.
In testing, embedding Good Fortune and Blessing didn’t reduce the damage I took from simulated monsters at all. There was no lucky evasion effect.
But now I finally understand their purpose.
The fortune bonus only works when you have a monster soul that relies on probability judgments.
For example, your current Infinity monster soul. If you combine it with Blessing, Good Fortune, and any other future monster souls that boost luck, Infinity will become extremely powerful.
With multiple fortune buffs, your odds of rolling enhancements will rise significantly.
In theory, if you embed a bunch of luck-boosting monster souls, you could roll enhancements almost every time.
More importantly, the 1%-500% fluctuation range is only for a level 1 Infinity monster soul. As you level Infinity up to level 10, level 20, the fluctuation range will expand.
Hypothetically, if a level 100 Infinity monster soul provided a 1%-5000% range, you can imagine how terrifying the boost would be with good luck after a roll.
And what about a level 500 Infinity?
While Infinity’s trait is luck-based, its upper limit is insanely high, completely crushing all existing monster souls in power.
The downside is that its lower limit is also the worst of any monster soul. If you have bad luck and roll 1% when you’re weak, a breeze might blow you to death.
In summary, without fortune-boosting monster souls, Infinity will only give you occasional bursts of power. I don’t recommend embedding it for unlucky players.
As for you who have already embedded it, my advice is to keep using it. Once embedded, a monster soul is dismantled if removed. You won’t be able to buy another one, as Infinity is currently the only monster soul not available for sale.
Kindergarten – Iron Hammer (Original Poster) replied to Darkness Approaches: Thanks for the analysis, Darkness bro. Now I finally understand what’s going on.
Vosnidia: I’m not interested in monster souls that require luck, but I am very interested in the sacrificial power you got from containing that Primordial. Iron Hammer, contact me quickly. I haven’t seen you guys selling sacrificial power for a while. If you don’t sell, how am I supposed to get stronger? (God of Wealth overheating.jpg)
Soul Collector: Greetings, lucky player. Judging by my game ID, you probably know what I do. So, did you enjoy your fun? If so, it’s time to come with me, you’ve used up your lifespan. In your next life, don’t gamble your life playing games. (God of Wealth execution slash.jpg)

Primordial Altar.
Qi Sheng gazed at Infinity confined in cell 18 of the containment wall, while analyzing Guide’s data feedback in his mind.
This Sixth-Generation Primordial produced 15,000 sacrificial power per hour, generating 360,000 sacrificial power per day.
The Kindergarten squad’s good fortune had brought him a steady stream of massive sacrificial power gains.
With this Sixth-Generation Primordial, his player recruitment progress would also speed up.
As for why he hadn’t made Infinity available for other players to purchase, it was mainly due to the monster soul’s special nature.
Without matching fortune-type monster souls, Infinity’s randomness was simply too extreme and might not positively contribute to player growth.
If a player rolled a low value, they could completely lose combat ability for 36 hours.
Imagine if the player army were at war with the Black Tide and everyone rolled World Judgments, if most players rolled weakening results, it would drastically affect the course of the war.
For Qi Sheng, who was building a powerful player army, stable gains were far more valuable than uncertain ones.
From a stable development perspective, this kind of purely luck-based monster soul was unsuitable for mass distribution.
Therefore, he shut down sales of the Infinity monster soul, choosing instead to distribute it as a rare reward through future events, like lottery draws.
Only once a large number of fortune-enhancing monster souls had been contained would he consider fully opening Infinity for purchase.
