Chapter 167 The Sword That Once Slew Gods

Ever since he'd met Wat鴉12345, Hao Ren knew that this female lunatic could always scare the crap out of people unexpectedly. If other beautiful girls could make your eyes light up when they opened their mouths, this female lunatic was definitely the kind who could make you see darkness with just a cough—like now, Hao Ren was made to see darkness by a single sentence from Wat鴉12345, and it took him several seconds to react.

"Holy crap?!" Hao Ren almost instinctively wanted to throw the dark longsword away as if he were holding a hot iron rod. "Are you kidding me?! I'd have to have Lily kick me in the head to carry this unlucky thing around!"

However, Wat鴉12345 forcibly grabbed Hao Ren's hand the instant he was about to throw the longsword away. The female lunatic had a mysterious smile on her face: "No, you need to carry it, you must carry it."

"Why?" Hao Ren initially thought the goddess sister hadn't taken her medicine today, and her brain was even more broken, but then he realized that the other party seemed to be serious, and with deep meaning.

"Because this sword once slew a god. The karma entanglement between it and the Creation Goddess exceeds all the other samples you've found so far. Unless you can find something even more exaggerated than it, this sword is the only thing that can lead you to the Star of Creation," Wat鴉12345 looked into Hao Ren's eyes. "I can sense it—although I can't see through this faint entanglement line, I can still sense that the connection between this sword and the Creation Goddess has not been severed. I can't enter the Dream Realm, so you have to complete this rather difficult task for me: take this sword, whether you use it to fight enemies or chop dumpling filling, just take it. This thing will definitely help you find the place where that goddess fell."

For the first time, Hao Ren saw such a serious expression on Wat鴉12345's face, and for the first time, he heard the other party's tone so profound and unpredictable. He couldn't help but swallow: "...I understand what you're saying, but don't you need to keep this thing for research? This is a real divine artifact! I always feel like this thing is more useful in your hands than in mine."

"I've already kept some," Wat鴉12345 spread out her hand, and a piece of black fragment trembled gently in her palm. The interior of the black fragment seemed to contain endless stars: "For the World Shard, one is all, and all is one. This fragment is enough to carry all the information for me to research."

Hao Ren looked at the god-slaying sword fragment in the goddess sister's hand in surprise, not knowing when the other party had broken it off. He glanced at the black longsword in his hand, and only then did he realize that the tip of the sword was slightly shorter: but because the longsword itself was irregularly shaped, this defect was not obvious at all.

"This fragment is enough for this goddess," Wat鴉12345 smiled brightly. She patted Hao Ren's shoulder, "In short, this sword is here with you. This goddess believes that you are extremely talented. With your talent for causing explosions wherever you go, even if you do nothing, just holding this sword is enough to get you to the Star of Creation..."

Hao Ren had a look of wanting to cry but having no tears: "Can I express some other opinions... I don't even know what to do. Is just holding this thing useful?"

"It's okay to just hold it, regardless of whether or not it's useful," Wat鴉12345 said with a carefree expression. "I told you, you're someone who goes wherever..."

Hao Ren finally gave up. He waved his hands vigorously and shouted: "Okay, okay, I'll hold this thing, okay! By the way, these are all nicknames given to me by those bored guys. It's fine if others say it, but why are you old folks also joining in?"

Wat鴉12345 put her hands on her hips, righteously: "Nonsense, this old lady is just as bored!"

Hao Ren: "..." He didn't expect the goddess sister to admit it so righteously!

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Hao Ren knew that he couldn't compete with the genuine mental patient in front of him, whether in terms of thick skin or brainpower, so he could only give up complaining. He carefully carried the black longsword: "Speaking of which, it's no problem for me to hold this thing, but you have to confirm that this thing has been neutralized. I don't want to open my eyes one day and find that I've been brainwashed by this dark stick."

"Of course, I've confirmed the safety of this sword, if you're not at ease..."

As Wat鴉12345 spoke, she took the god-slaying sword, held the blade upright, and softly recited something, then gently kissed it.

The longsword was instantly covered with a layer of brilliant light. The light was fleeting, and in the end, only a layer of faint blue light floated around the blade.

"This is..." Hao Ren didn't know what had happened, but he knew it must be something super powerful! Because a true god had kissed this sword!

"The goddess's blessing and restraint. This sword has left my mark. It will never be able to harm my envoy or those in the same camp as my envoy, nor will it be able to go against your will. If there is anything in this sword that violates these two iron laws, then it will be immediately erased," Wat鴉12345 had a holy smile on her face. After releasing the goddess's blessing power, whether she was willing or not, a reassuring and approachable atmosphere began to surround her. The goddess smiled brightly and gave Hao Ren a thumbs up, "Divine art? Old lady supports you!"

Hao Ren knew things were not good when he saw the goddess sister showing a bright smile and a mouthful of white teeth and giving a thumbs up, but in the end, he couldn't stop the other party from saying a divine art name that made people feel thunderstruck. He could only sigh with a wry smile: "Okay, okay. Speaking of which, can't your divine art have a more reliable form of expression... at least the name..."

Wat鴉12345 didn't even listen to Hao Ren finish. She raised her eyebrows as soon as she heard the first half of the sentence, and then handed the longsword to her mouth and bit down on it: "Crunch... you kid really has a lot of requests. You even think the goddess's kiss isn't powerful enough. Okay, is this blessing deep enough?"

There was a crisp cracking sound, and the black longsword made of World Shard was directly bitten with a gap by Wat鴉12345. The goddess sister directly upgraded the goddess's kiss to the goddess's bite. The more direct "casting method" brought a more powerful blessing and restraint effect. On the spot, golden light burst out around the god-slaying sword, and God knows how many buffs were added to this thing in an instant!

The blessing and restraint power of the god-slaying sword was strengthened several times in an instant, Hao Ren was stunned: This is also okay?!

Wat鴉12345 saw Hao Ren's dazed look, but glared: "What? Still not satisfied?"

Hao Ren immediately reacted, and quickly nodded while snatching the black longsword: "Satisfied, satisfied, enough is enough..."

Just kidding, this female lunatic's thinking is simply beyond common sense. If there is a slight miscommunication, who knows what decision she will make. The goddess's kiss being upgraded to the goddess's bite is just a matter of a sentence. If Hao Ren reacted any slower, this female lunatic might be able to swallow the entire sword on the spot—with this sister's illness, she is not unable to do this kind of thing!

Only after taking the black longsword did Hao Ren directly feel the changes that had taken place on this sword. It was still as light as nothing, but holding it in his hand, there was an additional force that made people feel at ease and peaceful. This force completely offset the sword's own weird aura. Hao Ren closed his eyes, and in his illusory vision, he actually felt like he was holding a bunch of pure light!

However, even after purification, the "whispering" carried by the longsword had not disappeared. When Hao Ren concentrated, he could still hear the wisps of foreign thoughts in his mind. Although these thoughts could not affect his heart, they were still unsettling.

"I retained those 'whispers'," Wat鴉12345 said frankly, "Because I'm not sure which part of this sword's power will help you find the Star of Creation, so I simply retained all of its properties. My blessing is equivalent to adding a layer of security barrier to it. Under the barrier, it is still a god-slaying weapon."

"A weapon that once slew a god... now it has become a beacon blessed by a goddess," Hao Ren felt a sense of emotion in his heart. "This thing called fate... it's really unpredictable."

Wat鴉12345 smiled and glanced at Hao Ren: "Don't sigh about fate, let's talk about good news."

Hao Ren conveniently put the god-slaying sword into his personal space and replied casually: "What good news?"

"Your year-end bonus is here," Wat鴉12345 said mysteriously, "There are good things this time, especially practical!"

Hao Ren was stunned, and only then did he finally remember that it was the day to issue the year-end bonus.

He had been running around solving problems these days, and he didn't even have time to look at the calendar!

Thinking of the box of golden apples that was issued as a year-end bonus last year, the sense of anticipation in Hao Ren's heart instantly swelled up. Last year it was natural treasures, what will it be this year? Peerless divine weapons?

But after thinking about the god-slaying sword made of World Shard that he had just obtained, he felt that the year-end bonus should not be a peerless divine weapon, otherwise it would be a bit repetitive, and Wat鴉12345 wouldn't be so mysterious.

As a result, after the goddess sister took out the things, Hao Ren was completely dumbfounded.

He felt that it was stupid to still have expectations for this female lunatic...
