Chapter 370: Elental God Equipnt
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav
“There’s a God Equipnt that represents each of the four elents? They represent the highest authority of the Elental Gods? Such God Equipnt exists?”
“Yes, this is the highest-level secret of the elentals. Unfortunately, all four God Equipnt of the Elents have been lost. Even though the Elental Gods are able to sense their locations...”
From a certain standpoint, the four elents were products of other planes, so elental magic, too, could be considered products of other planes. That was why Antiholy Knights were capable of dispelling elental magic, creating an area of zero magic which dispelled all spells and magic equipnt.
Could the Antiholy Knights also dispel the power of Law? Although I needed to test this, I believed that the answer was likely yes, for the sa reason as above. That was because the power of Law was supported by Wumianzhe’s automated divine server, making it a type of divine power.
Still, dispelling magic and divine power wasn’t sothing Antiholy Knights could do indiscriminately. It was just like how the conflict between positive energy and negative energy forever remained in balance. Only a large amount of water would be able to put out a fire. A minor amount of water would only be vaporized into steam by the sa fire. It would still depend on the respective power levels between the Antiholy Knight and whoever they were fighting against, aning that this job class wasn’t ridiculously overpowered. However, the other new job class, Desecration Priestess, was absolutely ridiculous. They were capable of stealing divine power.
I didn’t have information on the Desecration Priest job class in my System, partially due to the fact that Victoria’s ties of karma to weren’t that close, but even more because this job class wasn’t yet complete.
Victoria thought like a typical Dark Elf in every way. She would never take an unknown path that may be fraught with peril. Desecration Priestess wasn’t anywhere near as complete a job class as Diana’s Anti-Holy Knight. However, Victoria had many forr Lorci priestesses as subordinates and plenty of her subordinates were willing to take risks in order to obtain power. Naturally, her subordinates explored this path for Victoria’s sake.
Judging from what the Desecration Priestesses showed off at the battle of Kagersi, they possessed a mysterious power capable of stealing and manipulating enemies’ Divine Arts, magic, and racial talents.
That’s right. In that battle, they had managed to steal the Sea Tribe’s natural talent to whip up gigantic waves on the sea, achieving great accomplishnts. But I could only guess the actual specifics. Perhaps this, too, was related to , but I would still need to talk to Victoria for myself. Making a conclusion now would be too hasty.
Even if I thought about it with my knee, if Desecration Priestesses were capable of “borrowing” a True God’s Divine Concept and specialized Divine Arts, not only would this ability be ridiculously powerful, but it would break all the True Gods’ churches’ taboos by challenging their authority and unique powers. This job class likely already caught the attention of the Gods, which would definitely create a huge wave in society. Right now, I was thinking about how to deal with Ayer’s questions for that were sure to co.
“This is truly troubleso... I hope Victoria can give an appropriate explanation.”
At least, from an outsider’s standpoint, Victoria and Diana were both my subordinates. Their actions would be viewed as extensions of my will. Since Victoria herself was the one viewed responsible for the Desecration Priestesses, the overall responsibility would naturally fall to . This was exactly why Camdian directly ca to find .
Also, the God Equipnt of the Elents that he ntioned, one for each elent, was sothing I was quite interested in.
“The Elental Thrones give Elental Gods an endless source of power and regeneration. In comparison, the God Equipnt of the Elents allow Elental Gods to have a foundational difference from ordinary Elental Lords. It’s difficult for to explain. But you’ll instantly understand if you see one.”
Camdian’s explanation sounded rather vague, but I could guess at what Camdian was here for.
Back when I was fighting solo against Emordilorcan, he hadn’t brought out anything like a God Equipnt of Earth. His power was at most equivalent to an Earth Elental Lord at his peak, with no foundational difference. Emordilorcan’s scariest powers of limitless energy and regeneration had disappeared when I had Beifeng destroy his Earth Elental Throne. And his lee combat skills were countered by my Cold Flas of Despair, which was why I was able to win.
Was Emordilorcan at the ti even farther away from his peak of power than I realized? I felt this was getting more and more interesting.
After putting Camdian’s information together with what I already knew, I could guess at what Camdian wanted from , along with where the God Equipnt of the Elents were located.
“The God Equipnt of Wind is located in the Earth Elental Plane’s forbidden zone, while the God Equipnt of Earth is located in the Wind Elental Plane’s forbidden zone. The Elental Tide density is far too high there; even I cannot go there...”
Since the God Equipnt of the Elents were so important, then the existences capable of sealing the Elental Gods wouldn’t leave them be. But there would be no place capable of sealing such powerful equipnt other than the Elental Plane of the countering elent. These locations were all such that the original user of the God Equipnt of the Elents would be unable to access them. This way, even if the Elental Gods broke free from their seals, they would be unable to return to their peak.
According to what Camdian told , his God Equipnt of Wind was located in the Limitless Hourglass, a location only the Earth Elental God could access. The God Equipnt of Water was similarly sealed within a place only the Fire Elental God could access... this was obviously designed to make the Elental Gods suffer.
Find helpers? This was sothing far beyond what mortals could achieve. The Chaos Faction only needed the Elental Gods to be active, which would naturally increase the Elental Tide. Why would the Chaos Faction possibly help them retrieve the God Equipnt of the Elents, which would level the Elental Gods up from fighters into veterans in their own right?
When I had fought with Emordilorcan, he must have checked on the God Equipnt of Wind while working hard to convince other Earth Elental Lords to join him. But he probably found that even he was helpless to enter that location. In the end, Emordilorcan never ntioned the God Equipnt of Wind to us. Perhaps he even made preparations around this Limitless Hourglass location to conceal it from his enemies.
Now, Camdian’s motive should be obvious. Upon seeing that Diana had the potential to retrieve the God Equipnt of Wind, Camdian ca running over to to beg for it. How practical of him.
I naturally wouldn’t agree to give it to him so easily. I needed to consider if he could offer sothing worth its value as the God Equipnt of Wind was sothing I really wanted for myself as well. At the very least, it would definitely be of high enough quality to use in my Frigidwinter Earth to help balance out my elents there.
As Camdian and I both continued to hesitate and think of the future, a seemingly limitless castle wall appeared before us under the dawn sky.
We had finally arrived at the ancient Bardi capital. Our journey in the sky had co to an end.
Not long after entering the Bardi capital, Archduke Halent and I agreed to et Orloss on the day after tomorrow. Although he really wanted to take to et the emperor right away, I used the excuse of fatigue from my travels to refuse him.
Actually, my energy and spirit were at their peak after hibernating for seven days for my evolution. How could this small journey possibly fatigue ? I simply wanted to obtain more information and at least et up with my subordinates to compare notes before I went to talk to Orloss.
As for the dragons’ important matter? Halent told that the entrance to Dragon World was currently being guarded by a senior dragon, and that I would need permission before I could enter.
Halent told where Cher and the others were temporarily staying. However, I didn’t hurry to et them. Instead, I sent Little Red and the others to first et up with Cher at the embassy hotel. I first road the streets to check the situation here.
For so unknown reason, even when I was as far away as in the Forest of Dreams, I kept having an ominous premonition about coming here, as if so major misfortune or calamity would befall .
Personally, I was never the type to believe in prophecies. However, this warning was different from an inexplicable prophecy. I felt as if this unease was due to forgetting about sothing, as if I were a student who had played around all sumr vacation and finally copied soone else’s sumr howork on the last day, but still kept worrying that I forgot sothing on my first day of school... By the way, while I was still a student, I did indeed forget sothing each and every ti. Now that I recalled this, I started worrying even more.
Not only that, my System was recently trying to recomnd to buy “Resurrection Ankhs,””Revival Coins,” and so on every day, which only increased my anxiety...
What? You’re asking why I wasn’t buying such useful life-saving items while my System was being nice to for once? Actually, Revival Coins could only be used on the dead. That’s right, I would have to die and soone else would need to use it on . anwhile, Resurrection Ankhs needed to first learn the Taurens’ racial natural talent of Ancestral Call. I would have to change my bloodline to that of Taurens first before I’d be able to use it. In summary, the System would never be so kind. She was mostly trying to play a joke on .
But all this further increased my anxiety. My System made it obvious that she intended to sit back and enjoy the show, which ant that sothing major was to occur, and soon at that.
“Ever since I entered this city, my instinct has been warning to run away at top speed. But the more you run away from your problems, the bigger of a problem it’ll beco. With my luck stat, I doubt I’ll be able to escape no matter what I do, so I might as well grit my teeth and face my problems head on. Do you all agree with ?”
I looked back behind , where there was seemingly no one. The street wasn’t illuminated by sunlight and was abnormally empty. But I could sense that more than ten people were following .
“Stealth, disguises, traveling through the ground, and even paint camouflage... Are you joking with ? Is this a ninja variety contest? You all have excellent sources of information to have noticed the mont I entered the city. But which factions do you belong to, and what business do you have with ?”
“Seven...”
“Nine...”
“Thirteen...”
In response, they uttered a large amount of numbers. Not only that, not a single number was repeated.
What did that even an? Was this so sort of password?
I was rather confused. Was this so sort of spy eting? But what type of spy eting would play such gas with number passwords? They just gave more than ten different numbers, so what number was I supposed to give in return?
“What number are you?”
And then, as I expected, soone asked what number I was.
...Could this really be spy eting where everyone was currently reporting their own code numbers? I knew it!
Since I guessed at what was going on, of course I would play along. Perhaps I would even find out a secret. This was getting quite interesting.
“I’m ninety-seven!”
In a typical spy organization, the smaller the number, the more powerful the individual. Since there were already two-digit numbers being reported, I decided to report one of the largest two-digit numbers, which naturally ant that I would be unimportant. Perhaps I would be able to fool them like this.
“Is there already a ninety-seven?”
“I don’t think so. Wasn’t it only at sixty-eight at last count?”
“Perhaps that old man adopted so more at a whim.”
“Adopting more than thirty in one go? At this point in ti? That’s too ridiculous to be a joke!”
“Are all of you idiots? Can’t you tell that this brat is just fooling with us!”
Finally, there was one who was slightly smarter among them, making it impossible for to simply pretend.
As they all looked at with eyes filled with enmity, I could only sigh. It would seem that I couldn’t fool them after all. I prepared to draw my sword with my right hand.
“Actually, I’m not ninety-seven. I’m... nine thousand five hundred and twenty-seven!”
Alright then. After that, even the dumbest among them knew I was only making stuff up. They all charged at .
“Honestly, I don’t even know why I’m fighting here. I feel like my luck stat has gotten even lower after entering this city.”
