102: Millions of millions!

"Ancient Snap" is a "carrier," a "container."

It can store "one" skill.

So, what exactly is the definition of this "one"?

Is it the "name" of a skill?

Or the "concept" of a skill?

Or perhaps... a complete "attack command" that has finished all preparatory work, is poised and ready, just one step away from being released?

Lin Yu's mind was racing.

His own core ability, Ghost Card Amplification Cycle, was essentially the ultimate utilization of the concept of "frequency."

Through a massive amount of repetition, he could leverage qualitative change.

And now, he wanted to try another approach.

Intercepting the "process"!

What if... he first activated Ghost Card Amplification Cycle, amplifying a skill's release a millionfold.

Then, just an instant before this million-times-amplified skill was about to be unleashed... he forcibly interrupted it!

And then take this terrifying energy collective, suspended between "completed" and "unreleased," and treat it as a "skill" to store in the Ancient Snap's slot!

Is this feasible?

Let's try!

Lin Yu closed his eyes.

The surrounding air seemed to solidify.

"Ghost Card Amplification Cycle, activate!"

His mental power poured out without reservation.

Twenty Multiplication Cards rapidly circulated in his consciousness, each collision causing the amplified power to surge exponentially.

Four times.

Eight times.

Sixteen times... one thousand twenty-four times... sixty-five thousand five hundred thirty-six times... one million forty-eight thousand five hundred seventy-six times!

The terrifying amplification rate instantly reached its peak.

The veins on Lin Yu's forehead bulged, but he was already accustomed to this tearing pain.

Now!

His will precisely locked onto that newly learned, utterly trash skill.

Vitality Nourishment!

He mobilized a trace of almost negligible energy and began to operate it according to the skill model.

Under a millionfold amplification, this trace of energy was instantly catalyzed into a vast and boundless ocean of life!

A green speck of light once again condensed at his fingertip.

But this time, it was no longer as tiny as dust.

It was a supremely condensed, emerald-green sun!

The life energy contained within it was vast, boundless, and even carried a hint of the ancient essence of creation.

This power was so terrifying that the surrounding space began to hum under the strain.

It yearned to be released!

It wanted to turn this room, this building, and even the entire neighborhood, into a wildly growing primeval forest!

Lin Yu could feel that as soon as he relaxed his thought, this "sun" would instantly explode.

However, what he wanted to do was the exact opposite.

"Interrupt!"

Lin Yu's consciousness transformed into the strongest dam, firmly blocking the exit of the energy torrent.

Buzz!

The green sun vibrated violently, the rampant energy, deprived of an outlet, began to furiously batter Lin Yu's mental barrier.

Pain!

Pain far exceeding any previous cycle!

This was no longer mere mental power exhaustion; it was rampant energy backlashing against its master!

Tiny beads of blood even began to appear on Lin Yu's skin.

But he held on.

Relying on his terrifying mental attribute of five hundred points, he forcibly confined this world-destroying power within an infinitesimally small singularity at his fingertip!

The first step was successful.

Next, was the even crazier second step!

"Store!"

Lin Yu abruptly raised his other hand and activated the Ancient Snap's skill storage function!

His consciousness split in two.

One half continued to firmly suppress the runaway star of life.

The other half transformed into an invisible large hand, attempting to drag this unstable bomb into the Ancient Snap's ethereal conceptual slot!

"Get in... here!"

Lin Yu let out a silent roar.

He wasn't requesting.

He was commanding!

As a Myriad Card Creator, as a pioneer who had touched the "Ancient" rules, he issued a command to the laws of this world!

The ethereal storage slot was forcibly pried open under Lin Yu's domineering will.

The rampant green sun was forcibly dragged inside!

Hum—

A soft sound, as if from the depths of the soul.

The world became quiet.

The terrifying energy that could have blown up the entire room disappeared.

The soul-tearing pain also vanished.

Everything returned to calm.

Lin Yu slowly opened his eyes and brought up his skill panel.

"Ancient Snap"

"Storage Slot: 1/1"

"Stored Skill: Vitality Nourishment (One Million Forty-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Seventy-Six Times Amplified · Pending Release)"

It was successful.

No rush... one snap, releasing a million-times amplified healing spell.

This is very powerful.

But it's not enough.

Lin Yu's thoughts once again returned to the core of all his abilities.

Ghost Card Amplification Cycle.

And, Myriad Card Creator.

Ancient Snap is a skill.

The Myriad Card Creator's ability is to turn everything in the world into cards.

Then... a thought, utterly insane yet perfectly logical, exploded in his mind.

He wanted to turn the Ancient Snap skill into a card too!

A skill card.

A skill card that could be duplicated by Ghost Card and amplified by Multiplication Card!

If it succeeded... what would that mean?

He would first use one Ghost Card Amplification Cycle to amplify Vitality Nourishment a millionfold and store it in Ancient Snap.

Then, he would turn this Ancient Snap, which already contained a millionfold amplified energy, into an "Ancient Snap · Skill Card."

Finally, he would activate another Ghost Card Amplification Cycle!

This time, the object of amplification would no longer be the small Vitality Nourishment.

But the "Ancient Snap · Skill Card" that contained a millionfold amplified energy!

A million times a million!

That's a trillion!

Holy cow, Lin Yu now realized that he had underestimated the boost that the Ancient Snap's small storage feature gave him!

He no longer hesitated.

Do it!

Immediately!

Lin Yu's will sank into his body, mobilizing the primal power belonging to the Myriad Card Creator.

Invisible golden threads extended from his sea of consciousness, precisely coiling around the skill rune named "Ancient Snap" on the skill panel.

This was his most familiar operation.

He had repeated it tens of thousands of times over the past five years.

Turning A Small Pebble into a card.

Now, what he wanted to do was turn an "Ancient" tier skill into a card!

Buzz!

The moment the golden threads touched the skill rune, a resistance far beyond imagination was transmitted back.

The rune structure of Ancient Snap was billions of times more complex than he had imagined.

It was no longer a flat imprint, but a multi-dimensional, three-dimensional structure composed of countless profound rules.

The threads of Lin Yu's mental power could only glide over its surface, completely unable to penetrate its core.

Not enough!

Not enough mental power!

Lin Yu mobilized more mental power, forcibly attempting to infiltrate the rune's interior.

His staggering five hundred points of mental attribute erupted without reservation at this moment.

The golden threads suddenly tightened, forcibly squeezing into the rune's structure!

The outline of a card slowly began to emerge in his consciousness.

It's working!
