The moment he saw the option to select a talisman, Peter's mood could truly be described as "finding a path through the willows to a bright new village."
Although the price was ridiculously expensive.
The effect was truly heaven-defying!
Unlike the previous random three-choice draws that might yield a useless Serpent Talisman, or mediocre options like the Sheep or Monkey Talismans—which were useful but had limited applications—this was different.
This selectable three-choice draw allowed him to reliably choose one from among the most powerful talismans!
Gaining a fixed, bug-level ability for only twenty thousand sacrifice points.
As the saying goes: he simply had to go for it this time!
His sacrifice points were quickly deducted from 27,000 down to 7,000.
In the next second, a brand-new interface appeared before Peter's eyes.
Aside from the horse talisman he already possessed, the phantoms of the remaining eleven talismans floated before Peter, awaiting his choice.
Unlike the previous times when he nervously agonized over flipping them one by one, Peter made his choice very quickly this time:
"I choose the dog talisman, the tiger talisman, and... the rabbit talisman!"
The Dog and tiger talismans needed no explanation; these were the two abilities Peter wanted most right now.
The former combined with the horse talisman granted absolute immortality. It was like joining the Fengling Yueying Sect—with one 'ding,' he could turn on a health-lock cheat.
At that point, even legendary beings whose strength far exceeded Odin's—like Galactus, Dormammu, or even the Celestials and OAA—would be unable to kill him.
As for the tiger talisman, it was an old favorite.
As much as Peter had looked down on it when he first got the system, he craved it just as much now.
With the power of Absolute Balance from the tiger talisman, the various and disorganized energy systems Peter had acquired could truly be integrated and mastered.
With the tiger talisman, Peter would no longer need to exploit bugs in the little broken watch to maintain his Aesir and Vanir transformations.
He could even combine the two, turning himself into a truly perfect ultimate race!
Even without using the powers of those two great divine races, simply stacking the abilities of various animals would be enough to make him an Ultimate Lifeform surpassing Kars.
As for the final choice, the rabbit talisman, it was a decision Peter made after a brief trade-off.
If the Dog, Horse, and Tiger were top-tier T0...
Then the rabbit talisman and Dragon Talisman were T0.5.
The former provided extreme speed, even fast enough to turn back time.
The latter represented endless energy, which could maximally amplify Peter's current output methods, providing him with terrifying energy sufficient to destroy a Planet in one go.
Comparing the two, Peter ultimately chose the former.
While the latter sounded wonderful, that infinite energy had usage restrictions similar to 'rage.'
Even if those restrictions were removed, its upper limit was only similar to Captain Marvel's Binary mode or the power of the Sentinel.
In contrast, the rabbit talisman offered more versatility.
Having made his choices, next came the draw.
The three talismans—Dog, Tiger, and Rabbit—spun rapidly in the air. A moment later, with a crisp 'clack,' an ancient hexagonal stone fell into Peter's hand.
Peter took a deep breath and flipped it over, revealing the image of a double-headed white tiger on the front.
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: tiger talisman!]
Looking at the tiger talisman glowing faintly in his hand, Peter couldn't help but smile slightly.
The moment he held the tiger talisman, a massive and pure stream of information flooded into Peter's mind, raising his understanding of the tiger talisman to a new level.
According to the information provided by the system, the tiger talisman had three functions in Peter's hands.
The first, and the one he valued most, was balancing conflicting powers.
Peter turned the dial on the little broken watch on his wrist, adjusting the original 100% Aesir DNA to 50%.
Then, he turned the dial again, switching to a 50% concentration of Vanir DNA.
Immediately after, Peter slammed his palm down on the watch face.
Something magical happened!
Peter did not simply switch from Aesir to Vanir.
Instead, he achieved a perfect coexistence of both genomes within his body!
The two divine bloodlines operated together in an unprecedentedly harmonious state.
This joint operation caused visible changes to Peter's body.
A layer of holy radiance quickly emerged on him, and golden inscriptions appeared across his body.
Peter couldn't understand these inscriptions, but he could roughly grasp their function.
These were channels!
Channels that connected cosmic energy and magic energy.
The product of combining these two forces had a more common name—Divine Power!
Through these inscriptions, Peter could mobilize that mysterious Divine Power and guide it into himself.
On one hand, this Divine Power was a top-tier tonic that could steadily temper Peter's physical body and spirit over the long term.
On the other hand, once Peter gradually adapted to this power, he could do the same things as Odin in the future.
Namely, using Divine Power to bestow blessings, allowing originally ordinary people or objects to gain extraordinary power.
After figuring out how to use this power, Peter subconsciously looked down at his little broken watch.
As he expected, the remaining countdown on the watch face had also vanished!
The transformation countdown on the little broken watch was essentially an anti-addiction mechanism to prevent the user's mind and body from mutating.
Now that the tiger talisman perfectly balanced power, good, and evil, it naturally ensured that Peter would not be affected by any erroneous 'cognition'.
Therefore, the anti-addiction system of the little broken watch was automatically deactivated!
From now on, Peter could not only activate this God form but also use the genes collected in the little broken watch to unlock even more fusion forms!
At this thought, even Peter, who was used to grand spectacles, couldn't help but feel his heart race.
Super Divine Power + seamless fusion of the advantages of various species + seamless switching of all magic attributes...
Ultimate Lifeform? No, it's God-level Lifeform! (Tactical lean back)
In the future, forget Kars; even if Odin showed up, he'd have to shine Peter's shoes!
After experiencing this heaven-defying power of balance, Peter turned his attention to the second and third uses of the tiger talisman.
These two uses were Splitting and Calming.
The former was like in the anime; when encountering a troublesome evil villain in the future, Peter could try to split off the opponent's good side and enjoy the fun of watching them fight themselves.
The latter involved using the tiger talisman's power to forcibly stabilize someone else's mental state.
It wouldn't do much for ordinary people, but it would work wonders against beings like the Sentinel, Scarlet Witch, and the Hulk.
In the future, when these people fell into an uncontrollable rampage, he would only need a gentle 'head pat' to make them completely lose their threat.
"Huh?"
Thinking this, Peter suddenly let out a small sound of surprise.
Wait... why does this setup feel so familiar?
Oh no! I've become Nangong Wenya!
