Chapter 1206: What’s Hidden In the Fragment?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hao Ren and Vivian gave a rough account of what happened to Hathaway. Finally, Vivian decided and said, “That’s the case. I know that according to your canon, it’s a betrayal, but they were justified. We can say that they were trying to save the world. The hunting instinct has now been identified and a lot of things have turned out to be a bad debt. I don’t think you’ll get to the bottom of it, will you?”

Vivian sounded like she was discussing with them, but her expression clearly showed that she was just informing them. Hasse certainly got it. And after losing the shackles of the Sin of the Divine Blood, the stubborn old demon hunter became more flexible. He nodded and said, “Many things in Coldpath are now waiting to be done. We need anyone who can help us.”

White Flame also agreed. “After the civil war, there were many introspections and lessons learned within the council. We’ve taken a serious look at some of the ideas that have been considered heretical in recent centuries among the new generation of demon hunters. In the end, the new parliament accepted almost all new ideas with the highest tolerance. In fact, some of the ideas that Hathaway and her friends have come up with don’t seem to be a problem at all in the current Council of Elders.”

“Did you hear that?” Lily immediately poked Hathaway in the arm and said, “You can go home now!”

The expression on Hathaway’s face did not change much. The emotion of joy just flashed across her eyes for a moment. The spirit who had fulfilled her mission seemed somewhat dispirited. “Oh... That’s good. At last, there’s a place to settle down.”

“You don’t seem very happy?” White Flame asked curiously.

“No, I’m glad,” said Hathaway, shaking her head. “It’s just that I’ve not much interest in living. Hometown needs me, which is very good, and I will do my best to help, but the life of the spirits is not fun. I haven’t had any expectations for the future for a long time. So please don’t mind my indifference. That’s what the spirits are like.”

Vivian sighed softly and said, “I see. The spirits are perhaps the most painful of all the dead. They don’t have desires, they feel nothing, enjoy nothing. This is the emptiest way of life. Maybe it’s really a mistake that we brought you here...”

The words turned the atmosphere cold. Yeah, is it really a good thing for an empty soul to linger around the world for so long? At the moment, even Hao Ren was a little skeptical about his decision.

Suddenly, White Flame interrupted. She looked at Hathaway with her chin in her hands. Then, a holy light rose behind White Flame as if she was preaching. “The soul will not be lost in the emptiness of the material world, because there are many ways away from the material pleasure that can guide you forward. Friend, come with me later. I will show you the truth of the other side of the world...”

Hasse slapped away the light behind White Flame and scolded, “Don’t use the sacred flame in this way!”

The look on Hathaway’s face had become OvO. Others watched dumbfounded as White Flame led a pure soul onto a path where there’s no turning back. Vivian could not hold back, and whispered to Hasse, “Why is she getting more and more serious?”

“She’s been like this all the time, but she’s a little reserved because she wasn’t familiar with you,” Hasse said with a poker face.

“Damn, she had always been a real master in my mind.” Hao Ren covered his face and sighed.

Whatever the process, Hathaway’s story seemed to have come to a successful conclusion. The dazed ghost lady was dragged by White Flame into the room deep in the Hoarfrost Sanctum. In that indescribable mysterious place full of decaying spiritual pollutants, they did not know what this pure little flower would be polluted into. But that’s another story.

Hao Ren told Hasse the truth of the twelve missing demon hunters and the fate of Hagrids. He hid some details about the divine artifact and the evil scrolls. After helping the demon hunters to fill this part of their history, they left the Arctic and returned home.

Leaving Lily at home to guard the door, he and Vivian went to “Heaven” without stopping to find Raven 12345.

The goddess seemed to have known that Hao Ren was coming. She arranged for an arcane servant to greet them at the gate and take them directly to a balcony on the upper floor of the house. Raven 12345 was waiting for them there.

The goddess sat on a large, white, soft couch, fiddling with a glittering mass of arcane energy, and the white pillars around the balcony hung with veils, which were flying in the breeze, giving off a sense of endless mysterious elegance.

Looking at Raven 12345, Hao Ren instinctively felt that the goddess was a little unusual today.

Well, the goddess was unusual every day...

While Hao Ren and Vivian were guessing, Raven 12345 suddenly said, “I felt a moment of distortion in the real world and I knew you’d probably done something great.”

Hao Ren was shocked. What happened in the forest had attracted the attention of Raven 12345? Was it the power of that scroll?

What he did not know was that it was not the strength of the scroll that attracted the attention of the goddess, but the form of the force: a powerful secular force, even if it could overthrow mountains and rivers, was merely secular, and a force that could change reality, even if it could only stir up a breeze, was enough to trigger a world-class warning. At that time, when he translated the scroll in the forest, it triggered that warning.

Although in the eyes of Raven 12345, the ‘little change in the sky’ was nothing more than a breeze.

“We went to look for the legacy of Olympus,” Hao Ren told the goddess of his adventure, “and then we found out that the situation was probably not that simple. We’ve found two things together. To be honest, I don’t think they’re something that a family like the Olympians can master.”

He took out the dangerous goods container sealed with the scepter and four scrolls that had been transferred to another safety container from his dimensional pocket and gave them to Raven 12345 for inspection.

Before the two seals were opened, Raven 12345 already looked interested in them.

She first opened the safe of the scepter. Hao Ren and Vivian became nervous at the moment the box opened. A strong and evil breath burst out of the safe as if some brutal beast trapped in a cage had suddenly escaped. This breath, wrapped in black ripples, rushed straight into the sky and spread out in all directions in the blink of an eye!

Raven 12345 slapped it down and yelled, “Hey, calm down!”

Then all the dark breath dissipated.

Hao Ren saw the fragmented scepter lying quietly in the safe. The crystal at the top of the scepter had undergone several shocks, at which point it was almost completely shattered, and what was sealed in the core of the crystal was revealed. It was a black irregular sheet. After all the negative breath faded, it looked like a plain black crystal, and the only distinguishing feature was the extremely deep darkness.

Raven 12345 broke the crystal with her bare hands and took out the black sheet.

“What is this?” asked Hao Ren and Vivian.

Raven 12345 smiled and said, “Actually, you are very familiar with it.”

A faint blue light burst out of her hand. The light directly shattered a layer of ‘shell’ on the surface of the black sheet, and the ‘shell’ fell like dust, revealing the true thing inside.

The irregular black sheet glittered with dots of light, like stars in the universe, flickering and wandering in the dark sheet. This scene was quite familiar indeed.

The blade of the god-slaying sword.

“This is the god-slaying sword?!” Hao Ren exclaimed in surprise.

“Technically, it’s just the same material,” Raven 12345 smiled and said. “You’ve found something awesome, this... Perhaps it is the original form of the raw material for casting the god-slaying sword or a failed product. The evil power that lingered on it is probably the primitive breath of the one behind-the-scenes in the Plane of Dreams!”

This made Hao Ren very excited.
