Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1260 - 260: Empire Line: Toward the [Spiritual Deer] Ending (55)

"...What the hell is this thing?"

The flame-haired girl picked up the Holy Sword, her eyebrows furrowed tightly:

"'Mythical Creation,' the introduction is just one sentence, there's no attribute, not even a basic sharpness correction for swords, and the skills are inexplicable. Other than a high attack value boost, it doesn't have the slightest appearance of a divine artifact."

Generally speaking, equipment that can be called a 'Mythical Creation' either grows as fast as a Smith's Sword with diverse functions or involves a task line with abundant rewards, with the final fully-formed divine artifact providing terrifying attribute bonuses.

Moreover, divine artifact equipment generally involves unlocking seals, reforging, awakening true spirits, blood sacrifice awakening, and the final process of smithing to ascend to godhood, so by the end, a divine artifact is often equivalent to half a superior divine right.

Apostle Arthur has held this sword for over six thousand years; at the very least, it should grant the holder a basic [Divine Power Might], releasing a True God Level magnification when held.

This thing not only specifically counters those who dare to challenge metric monsters beyond tiers but also maintains independent consciousness when higher deities exert power over you.

However, like this 'Holy Sword,' straightforward from start to finish, only providing attack attributes and a "Sword Master" passive skill, yet can still be rated as a 'Mythical Creation,' is simply unheard of.

Not just unheard of, it's practically unprecedented.

Take this: when Lord Leoz took the Sword of the Stars from [God of the Present World] Reylette, at least it, as mass-produced goods, could provide a "Shattered Starlight" might, allowing Leoz to slash people with some star flame sword qi, so he wouldn't be doing regular attacks on everyone like a whiteboard cannon fodder guy.

"There's something wrong with this sword... what's its background?"

Switching back to his physical form, Li Aozi began to study the 'Holy Sword' in his hand.

He wasn't worried about Oshen and them getting into a tough fight. Firstly, having him as a guard made it rare for these players to find such an advanced monster spawn point, so they should hurry to gain some experience, aiming to catch up with their progress before reaching the Lower Starry Abyss.

Otherwise, when they head to Zhou Yuan, they'll be facing countless Void Forces, ready to cry.

His growth rate is too fast, players have long been unable to keep up with his growth, which is an inevitable matter, but the awakened deities of Oshen's True Martial Party can still lend a hand.

At this point, fast growth among players might not be a bad thing.

Li Aozi held the sword in his hand, scrutinizing it from side to side, continuously probing and testing, occasionally swinging and manipulating it.

The shape of the Holy Sword was between a greatsword and a broadsword, and although it wasn't small in size, it could be held with one hand. Its weight was quite subtle, seemingly without stable mass, floating if placed on a measuring device, yet immediately embedding itself into rock when released, so much so that even summoning a strongman or a Lava Guardian couldn't pull it out.

In some sense, it does indeed meet the standard of a divine artifact because it recognizes its owner. After Li Aozi drew this sword, no one else could use it, and he could feel a subtle connection between this mysterious Holy Sword and himself.

Only if he were to completely abandon a certain endeavor would this connection be severed forever without recovery.

But on the other hand, it really shows no trace of a divine artifact's spirituality, divine power, and even after being used by Arthur for so long and soaked in divine blood, it didn't acquire any divinity, which is utterly baffling.

"Moreover, Arthur's strange actions just now, and the power that could hurt me seem to originate from this sword... There's no additional information elsewhere. In terms of materials alone, I'm still clueless." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Even using the [Eye of Truth] enchantment didn't identify the materials, it means the materials required to forge this weapon must be extremely advanced.

Just as Li Aozi was contemplating using it as a breakthrough point, a sudden beam of light appeared in his dimensional space.

"Hmm? That is..."

With a gesture, a shining ring appeared in Li Aozi's palm the next moment.

It was precisely the mysterious ring sealing [Mechanical World Speaker] Meganiros.

"Ever since I took the Water of Miracles last time, triggering a miracle activation once, this ring hasn't been active. Now it suddenly brightens, suggesting some connection between this sword and Meganiros."

Li Aozi thought:

"Oh, right, if I have to say, both Meganiros and Charlgarnia were enshrined as the [Mechanical Holy Father] and [Goddess of Truth] by Lord Leoz in the same era. Before that, while they were still mortal, they probably had many exchanges with Arthur and might know something about this sword."

With that thought, Li Aozi hesitated no longer, purchasing a bottle of Water of Miracles from the [Mall].

This time it's not free, requiring a full 300,000 to buy a bottle.

As Li Aozi carefully poured the Water of Miracles over the ring, a husky middle-aged male voice echoed around him immediately:

"What the hell, Lord Leoz, you truly lack any talent!"

He turned his head and saw [Mechanical World Speaker] Meganiros sitting on a rock with a face full of resentment, and from his tone, he seemed to have been sitting there for a long time.

"37 years, a whole 37 years! I waited beside you for thirty-seven years, and you couldn't figure it out?"

Hmm, it was indeed a long time.

Li Aozi shrugged:

"Who told you not to clearly explain before, with a super robot fighting the Void Executioner so intensely that they got annoyed and rolled up the Void Territory back to Zhou Yuan, and you just went back."

"Did I go back? I've always been inside this ring! I thought after so many years, you finally knew how to unleash my power."

Meganiros's tone became increasingly resentful, looking at Li Aozi more like he was looking at a fool:

"Lord Leoz, back in the Pantheon, deities all said you were a madman without talent, and indeed they weren't entirely wrong."

"Right, I'm not a madman; I'm a good person."

"Yes, but you truly are a talentless failure!"

Meganiros held his head in despair:

"How can someone not even have a percentage of mental force's pure quality? Unbelievable! Even a spark plug has zero point two percent pure quality, why don't you? I even encouraged that kid with excellent pure quality to give you the ring, and then watched you throw it among emergency food supplies and fruits, a whole 37 years!"

Li Aozi protested: "Don't look down on fruits, they're quite expensive."

"Nonsense, durians can't be cheap! Dimensional space has no time, items don't spoil, and I became neighbors with durians for 37 years, Lord Leoz, have you any conscience?"
