To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 706 - 401

Chapter 706: 401
Xiemen Waidao looked into Dave’s eyes and saw gratitude and admiration for himself in the other’s gaze.
It seemed that his actions had won the other over, revealing his heart of gold.
I always thought I was a good person, but no one believed me.
To see through my true nature in a single glance, this Dave too must be a fine comrade.
A wonderful friendship formed between them, as each recognized in the other the person they had long admired, giving rise to a feeling of mutual appreciation.
Xiemen Waidao silently vowed that he would never betray Dave unless absolutely necessary.
But if the price offered was right, then he would be left with no choice.
Having confirmed their feelings for each other, the two continued their stealthy maneuvering through the guardhouse.
The commotion at the main gate had already drawn the attention of all the guards, significantly reducing their number here, but it was still not to the point of having free rein.
Seeing this, Xiemen Waidao resolutely sacrificed his other eye and handed control of this eye to Dave.
Although Dave had never done anything like controlling an eye before, and the operation was a bit weird, after getting past the initial discomfort, he found the eyeball to be quite useful.
The marvel created with the Life Dagger was a derivative artifact. Within its usable time, it could continuously scan the surroundings, share their field of vision, and even reveal some hidden corners, allowing him to see more.
And because it was an artifact, it could even be used in the Dark Forest.
This made Dave think that every Scout entering the Dark Forest could sacrifice one of their eyes, greatly increasing their chances of survival there.
After learning about Dave’s idea, Xiemen Waidao looked at him with doubt, lowering his voice to ask, “You’ve been treated like this by the Bishop, yet you’re still considering their well-being? Even Sparky would have to acknowledge your dedication.”
“Yes, the Bishop must have his reasons for wanting me, so I still need to consider the greater good,” Dave replied.
“Then why come back at all? Why not just let them kill you?”
“I feel I need to know some truths before I nobly embrace death. After all, I admire the smart Adora; dying ignorant isn’t our style as her followers.”

After hearing Dave’s explanation, Xiemen Waidao thought for a moment and felt that the logic made sense.
That’s the way to do it!
After Xiemen Waidao finished asking, Dave also quietly posed his own question, “Mr. Xiemen Waidao, may I ask, how are you able to use the artifact on inanimate objects?”
“You can’t do that here?”
“We can, but only a few artifacts have that capability, and even then, the effects aren’t as astounding as what you’ve demonstrated.”
“Simple, I utilized a few Divine Artifacts, then constructed this effect. The method is to add a bit of the ‘I’m thinking’ Divine Artifact, making me feel like everything wants to harm me. Then mix in a pinch of ‘Cautiousness’ Divine Artifact, enabling me to attack anything hostile to me. After that, I integrate a dose of ‘Objectophilia,’ allowing me to see all inanimate objects as living beings, and finally, add in…”
Listening to Xiemen Waidao’s explanation, Dave didn’t know what to say.
There were just too many issues with this.
First of all, how did you get your hands on so many Divine Artifacts?
Divine Artifacts aren’t something you can obtain casually; only the Bishop knows the source of Divine Artifacts, and all existing ones have been personally given by the Bishop to powerful warriors, out of reach for commoners.
Secondly, how did you come up with that combination?
Sure, the combination could bring about the effect of allowing Xiemen Waidao to duel with inanimate objects, but who in their right mind would do such a thing?
In his mind, Xiemen Waidao’s image became even more outlandish.
Dodging the guards here, the two moved continuously through the spacious guardhouse and finally arrived in front of an inner city gate.
Outside, there was commotion, but here it was ominously silent.
The gate’s guards were nowhere to be seen, and there were no Soldiers stationed at the entrance. Everything in front of them was eerily quiet, emitting an eerie feeling.
Looking at the situation, Xiemen Waidao asked, “Is everyone here deaf?”
“No, their responsibility is to guard the Bishop and the library inside, so they won’t mobilize unless absolutely necessary. The guards here are all elites, far more powerful than those outside.”
“So is it normal for no one to be on guard here?”
Dave narrowed his eyes at the scene and then shook his head, “Not normal, not normal at all. Even if they don’t mobilize, there should be many on alert here. This lack of presence is extremely unusual.”
Taking a light sniff, Dave’s frown deepened even further.
“There’s a smell of blood. It wasn’t there when I left earlier. What in the world happened?”
Before Xiemen Waidao could share his thoughts, Dave had already dashed out, racing into the grim inner city.
The deeper he ran into the city, the stronger the smell of blood became, and although no bodies were visible, the fresh traces of blood on the ground conjured an ominous premonition.
Surrounding him were scattered weapons and walls scarred with the marks of combat, an uncanny sight that weighed heavier and heavier on Dave’s heart until reaching the pinnacle upon finally arriving at the Bishop’s audience chamber.
