Chapter 1137 - 1123: A Difficult Request
Each S Level Sealing Object is incredibly terrifying and possesses its own strange abilities, making it difficult for people to defend against—it often results in death unknowingly.
Apart from S-11, Qian Xin considered another Sealing Object, S-17, which is meant for handling direct combat.
Unlike the strange abilities of S-11.
The name of S-17 is "The Sword of Annihilation".
Its appearance is that of a bloody Broken Sword, with complex patterns on the hilt that make people dizzy at first glance.
When no one touches it, this Broken Sword is very quiet; it doesn’t have the characteristics of being alive and won’t actively release power.
But when someone picks up the sword.
The sword awakens and destroys what the holder wants to eradicate—not just material targets, but even the spirit can be obliterated.
Even beliefs, thoughts, emotions—these abstract, idealist things—this sword can annihilate.
If the target is too powerful, or its elimination is too difficult.
Then it carries out the destruction in extremely twisted and bizarre ways. In the history of the Great City, it has been used twice.
The first time was to annihilate an ancient mythical creature, wielded by the City Lord themselves.
The second time was to slay a named entity.
Its power seems boundless.
However.
If used to annihilate a Divine Spirit, the results will certainly be very twisted, like only annihilating an avatar of the Divine Spirit, or the sword might alter your consciousness, making you subjectively believe that the Divine Spirit has died.
These bizarre ways all achieve the aim of killing a Divine Spirit, tantamount to the sword exploiting a loophole in verbal logic.
However.
Even if you design a loophole without logical issues, the sword will still twist the core intention of the target when it can’t achieve its purpose.
But when it can deal with the target, then there are basically no issues.
Just.
The side effects of this sword are equally immense.
Firstly, the person who uses this sword will inevitably fall into misfortune afterward, which is hard to escape.
Secondly, the sword will consume the user’s lifespan. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Depending on the slayed target, the consumed lifespan varies, but it’s never a small number—even decades or centuries are possible.
Finally.
This sword will deprive the user of a sense, lasting for over a year, and only after a year will the deprived sense slowly recover.
When Qian Xin proposed using these two Sealing Objects, everyone at the meeting didn’t immediately speak but recalled the effects and side effects of the two objects.
Once everyone accurately remembered these two items.
Lilith said, "Qian Xin’s proposal is worth considering; we can prepare two plans: use S-11 to create Spiritual Bodies and let them explore that region, finding a safe pathway to the Spirit Realm.
If using S-11 doesn’t work, then we use S-17 to directly eliminate the chaotic Divine Power in that area.
S-11 once slew a named entity, and the cost incurred was within an acceptable range, serving as an alternative plan. At that time, if needed, I will take the helm.
It is a lengthy task that cannot be accomplished overnight.
From now on, every week, two people will organize teams to explore the Spirit Realm. The two switch between using ’Beautiful Dreams’, allowing exploration team members to explore in Spiritual Body status, and if danger arises, immediately retreat."
Lilith swiftly arranged things.
At the end of the meeting, Baiyu was left behind by her alone.
"Here, I have a more important task for you, the Spirit Realm passage there, you need not consider it for now."
Lilith looked at Baiyu with a very serious tone, as if entrusting Baiyu to save the world.
It couldn’t be another task involving a Divine Spirit... Baiyu thought secretly.
Lilith remained serious in expression without pause and continued, "This matter involves a Divine Spirit."
Damn...
Baiyu cursed inwardly, returning with an equally serious expression, "Lilith, are you sure you’re not joking with me?"
Lilith was slightly surprised, quickly explaining, "Indeed, it’s not a joke, but you might have misunderstood. This time it involves the Scar God, not those Evil Gods."
True Divine?
"What are you planning?"
Baiyu asked.
Lilith sighed, "I want to find out the current state and whereabouts of the City Lord, the Scar God should be the one most informed. Divine Spirit acted alongside the City Lord, and when Evil Gods descended in true form, only Divine Spirit may know what happened."
"But nobody can meet Divine Spirit unless reaching a realm like the City Lord’s, only then could you communicate."
Baiyu knew how difficult it is to meet a deity, let alone communicate with them.
"So this task has certain difficulties but isn’t dangerous.
Within the Scarred Church.
Apart from the Pope, Shepherd Leader, and Chief Cardinal Archbishop receiving Oracles, the Archbishop of the star realm headquarters of each star’s main planet can also receive Oracles and actively communicate with the Divine Spirit.
This is a sufficiently safe way to communicate with the Scar God.
But the premise is.
You must first familiarize yourself with that Archbishop and earn their trust and enough importance for them to do this.
Last month, an Archbishop of the Mechanical and Creation God Church allowed the founder of the Harlow Company to receive an Oracle from the God of Mechanics in their dream.
That founder isn’t strong, perhaps only Sequence Seven or Eight, and hasn’t tempered Blood Qi, yet ranks three hundred sixty-seventh in the Imperial rich list, a devout follower of the God of Mechanics."
It seems the Mechanical God Church severely lacks research funding. It should be that all churches lack activity funds, as maintaining such a large church incurs astronomical daily expenses—a Divine Spirit may not consume earthly anything, but church members do need typical human spending and living.
"Your entire operational budget will be transferred to an anonymous personal account.
Ah.
Baiyu, although I haven’t had much interaction with you, neither the Great City nor the Miracle Tower has ever treated you unjustly.
This request is my personal decision.
Whether or not the task succeeds, afterward I will owe you a favor, hoping you can accept it.
The whereabouts of the City Lord are very important.
Even if she fell asleep, we need to know her status.
This matter.
Only you can achieve it.
You don’t have a Divine Spirit faith and can become the Scar God’s follower well, which is more conducive to gaining the Scar God’s Archbishop’s trust."
Upon hearing Lilith say so, Baiyu had no reason to refuse. Indeed, the Great City, whether the City Lord or the attendants, have given him much help.
Besides.
Baiyu himself also wants to know the City Lord’s status.
