A hard-to-describe feeling appeared on his body. Hades felt like something was missing, and there was an emptiness in his heart.
It was as if something that had always been there was forcibly taken away.
He stretched out his hands before him, and the sight of the white, withered bones made Hades' heart tighten. He took a step back in panic and fear.
Imagine one day suddenly discovering that the flesh and blood on your hands had disappeared completely, turning into bones. No one could remain calm, right?
Although Hades had been mentally prepared, he was still frightened by his appearance.
But the next second, the feeling of terror disappeared without a trace, and his heart was filled with unparalleled peace. It seemed that nothing could stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.
"I really became an undead."
Hades moved his fingers. Although there wasn't a trace of flesh and blood, they moved as he willed. He didn't know how bones without muscles could move, but that was the reality.
He used his bony hands to touch his cheeks, and sure enough, it was also a skull. Hades turned his body and found that there was no discomfort. He not only had a sense of touch, but even a sense of smell.
Pulling open the purple and gold-trimmed mage robe he was wearing, Hades' hand passed through his ribs and reached into his chest.
"So it really is empty..."
Hades was stunned. He couldn't understand what kind of mechanism this body was. It was clearly just a skeleton, but it had a sense of touch, even pain, although it was faint.
There were clearly no organs in his ribcage, but he had a sense of smell. If he didn't have lungs, how could he get air into his body and distinguish smells?
Hades thought that if he had a sense of smell, he would at least have organs like lungs, even if he couldn't see them. But when he touched it with his hand, it was really just bone.
Clearly, it was wrong to measure this world using the laws of his original world. Hades gave up trying to study the operating mechanism of the undead. At least now wasn't the time to study it.
"The Seed of the World Tree has been successfully activated. Now an undead, also storing the elf race. Hmm... needs two minutes before it can be activated again..."
On the bony wrist of Hades' right arm, the "Seed of the World Tree" was tightly attached. Activating it once had a two-minute cooldown.
The undead body made him realize even more clearly that this was the real world, because in YGGDRASIL, changing race didn't cause any physiological changes for players. But he wasn't very comfortable with his current undead state.
In YGGDRASIL, the undead could only use the "Seed of the World Tree" to change race, so Hades, who possessed this World Item, stored the undead race in one of the only two slots available for storing race data to not waste this feature.
Although Hades wasn't comfortable with the undead state and wanted to continue switching to the last stored race, there was one more thing he needed to confirm. Hades tried to bring up the attribute panel for the undead race.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the data for the undead character appeared in his mind one by one.
Character Name: Hahaha-Hades
Race: Undead
Gender: Male
Justice Value: -500
Alignment: Extremely Evil
Class Specialization: Magic (Mana-based, Element Specialization)
Race Levels: Skeleton Mage 15, Elder Lich 10, Night Lich 10, Death Ruler Sage 5
Class Levels: Elemental Mage (Earth Element Specialization) 10, Archmage of the Element 10, Element Communicator 10, Earth Connector 10, Earth Dominator 10, Transmuter 5, Sculptor 5.
Unlike the human race's purely warrior build, Hades' second race was a purely magic caster.
However, this class combination didn't allow for extreme damage output, but he had his reasons for choosing this class.
The reason was none other than the influence of the "Seed of the World Tree." Because he could switch between stored races, he could use this feature to cast various buffs on himself as a magic caster, and then, as long as he switched races, the buffs would transfer to the warrior character.
This way, as a warrior, he would be like having a mage by his side at all times who could add buffs for him. Although a magic caster specializing in earth elements wasn't the best buff provider.
But the advanced class "Transmuter" had very good synergy with warriors. And because the use of World Items was prohibited in officially hosted competitions, Hades could easily win the world championship just by relying on this feature.
If he didn't have the "Seed of the World Tree," he would consider adding some casting classes to ensure that he had no weaknesses, but with this World Item, going all-in on one path was the best choice.
Of course, this wasn't to say that having the "Seed of the World Tree" meant that you could have power surpassing the world champion.
To make the most of the "Seed of the World Tree" and achieve power greater than 1+1>2, players also needed to be familiar with the race characters they stored and how to combine skills and magic to maximize the effect.
In addition, each character's equipment couldn't be too bad. Otherwise, if the foundation was too poor, even with the best combination, the effect of 1+1>2 couldn't be achieved.
But for Hades, who didn't lack money, each race character was bound to have a set of divine-tier equipment.
"Flight."
Hades activated the flight magic, and the weightless feeling returned. Just like when using the "Flight Necklace," the feeling of how to control the flight was engraved in his brain like an instinct.
"Then, let's try the last race."
He deactivated the flight magic. The cooldown of the "Seed of the World Tree" had ended. Hades activated it again.
Then his bony body began to expand and twist outwards. In just a breath, he had changed from a skeleton to a living human.
Hades suddenly realized that the emptiness he had felt when he was an undead had been filled, and the emptiness in his heart had disappeared without a trace. He felt full again.
So this was a physical change brought about by the race. Although his current appearance looked like a human, he wasn't a pure human.
Otherwise, according to the rules of the "Seed of the World Tree," he couldn't store characters of the same race.
Then, as before, the information of the current race character appeared in Hades' mind.
