Chapter 161: New Armor

Rewards may be delayed, but they never fail to arrive.

Kamiyu had “openly and fairly” defeated Lei Yao, and rightfully deserved all the items on him. However, due to many unforeseen events, she had almost thought she was going to end up working for nothing again.

What is yours will always be yours.

Seriga’s Greater Rifts offered high-tier 【Runes】 to farm. For someone like her, who possessed the Construction Sage Talent, as long as she farmed one rune, she could disassemble it to obtain rune powder. Using the 【Material Saving】 recipe, she could then craft three runes from it.

“From the One comes the Two, from the Two comes the Three, and from the Three comes all things.” Kamiyu squinted her eyes, smiling with great delight.

With this, she could once again take a huge leap forward.

Her next task was to build the Sanctuary and launch a full-scale assault on Seriga.

However, she still needed the Black Sphere to serve as her Altar.

Before returning to the Real World, Kamiyu decided to first reforge and upgrade her Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing. The previous piece of Armor had been shattered, which had pained her immensely.

She had originally intended to upgrade it, but now she would forge a new one, with even more powerful attributes.

Kamiyu immediately opened the Construction Sage list, scrolled to Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing. The previous one was Legendary Tier, but now, after obtaining the rare material 【Scattering Prism】 from Lei Yao, she could finally happily craft Ancestral Legendary Armor.

“As expected of a spymaster like Lei Yao, having amassed so much wealth squeezed from the people. Crafting one piece of Ancestral Legendary Armor requires one Scattering Prism, and you actually have five or six hundred of them. No wonder so many people want to join your ranks.” Kamiyu clicked rapidly on her Interface Panel.

The original Legendary Tier Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing required standing still for 2 seconds to gain 10 seconds of Invincibility. To repeatedly trigger this Invincibility effect, Kamiyu had to move periodically while holding her position, making her look like she had ADHD.

“It was just too awkward.”

“Fortunately, the Ancestral Legendary Tier optimized this awkward 2-second waiting period, changing it to simply requiring the coordinates to remain unchanged to maintain the duration.”

Alright, I choose you.

For her own use, of course she had to select the 【Triple Attributes】 recipe.

A series of “ding ding ding ding” sounds of metalworking echoed in her mind.

“Zzzz~ ding.” Crafting successful.

【Item Name: Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing】

【Equipment Slot: Pants】

【Level: Ancestral Legendary Tier】

【Durability: 300/300】

【Affix: After successfully dodging an Attack, increase Attack Power by 300% for 15 seconds】

【Passive Skill: When the holder’s coordinates remain unchanged, they gain a corresponding Invincibility Window, lasting until they begin to move】

Two pairs of Leather Armor pants appeared before her.

“What are you looking at? Can dogs even wear pants?” Kamiyu swatted away the Skull Blood Wolf’s nose and handed the other Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing to Jack.

“When you rushed over, almost all your Armor was shattered, right? The effect of these pants suits your playstyle perfectly. As long as you stand still, you gain an Invincibility Window, essentially a permanent Golden Body,” Kamiyu explained.

Mephisto’s mouth fell open. “A permanent Golden Body? That’s amazing! Barbarian Warriors just have the 【Unmoved as Mountain】 Ultimate Skill Passive at level 20. For every second they remain motionless, their Attack Power increases by 1%. The longer they stand still, the stronger their Attack Power becomes. Now, paired with this Armor, kid, you’re Invincible.”

Jack said in surprise, “Something this precious… is it really appropriate for me?”

“I won’t give it to you for use, but for it to use? You are the person I trust most. You becoming stronger can only benefit me, not harm me.”

“Most importantly, the two of us can coordinate even better. You gather the monsters. Before, I was afraid I’d kill you and had to wait for the Golden Body cooldown. Now with this semi-divine artifact, even lightning couldn’t strike you dead.” Kamiyu joked.

Jack also laughed out loud.

“Pfft pfft.” The Skull Blood Wolf was digging a hole with its front paws, seemingly expressing cheerful emotions as well.

And so, the two humans and one wolf headed toward the Main City, logging out of the Crimson Earth from the World Rift there.

“Hey, is it okay for you to swagger into the city like this? Aren’t you afraid they’ll kill you later?” Kamiyu asked.

“What’s there to fear? This was originally ‘our’ city, it’s just that you later humans occupied it.” Mephisto said.

Before long, six to seven hundred people were scattered about, sitting idly in the dilapidated center of the Main City.

“Everyone, don’t give up hope. There must be a way.” Li Changde shouted.

“The apocalypse is here, what do we do? My parents are still in the Real World.”

“Now the logout button won’t work no matter how many times I click it. I should have logged out at the last moment like the others.”

“You’re still saying that? If it weren’t for those cowards deserting at the critical moment, none of this would have happened. An Dao would have been killed by us.” Sen Qiang scolded angrily.

Just as Li Changde wanted someone to stay behind to stabilize morale while he went outside the city to find Kamiyu.

The Players scattered in various places stood up one after another, watching Kamiyu’s group approaching.

“Look, it’s the Lady Saintess.” Sen Qiang was the first to stand up.

“The Lady Saintess is here, we are saved.” Another Frontline Team member also exclaimed loudly.

“The Lady Saintess will definitely have a way.” The High Priest also said firmly.

Li Changde clenched his fists, looking at Kamiyu with hopeful anticipation.

“Ah, what way is there? Can’t you see the Halo above her head and the wings behind her have disappeared? Doesn’t that prove the Heavenly Father’s Strength has vanished? She can no longer use the Heavenly Father’s power. What salvation? What saintess?” a Veteran Player said with a curl of his lip.

“That seems quite reasonable too.”

“Without the Heavenly Father, we are doomed.”

“See, humans are so fragile.” The Skull Blood Wolf leaped out from behind Kamiyu.

“Hey, don’t be so mysterious and ghostly, okay? Disappearing and reappearing all day. Looks like I need to make a magic-sealing collar and have Jack leash you.” Kamiyu said, turning her head.

“Pfft.” Jack couldn’t help but laugh.

“You dare? I am the Demon King.” The Skull Blood Wolf nudged Kamiyu forward with its head.

Mephisto was inwardly very shocked. How did this girl Kamiyu even know about magic-sealing collars, those ancient evil artifacts used to enslave others?

“Haven’t you heard ‘a tiger fallen on the plains is bullied by dogs’?” Kamiyu said, feeling strange after saying it.

“Everyone, look, what kind of Aberrant Beast is this?”

“I don’t understand. Are there Aberrant Beasts called Demon Kings?”

“An Aberrant Beast with intelligence definitely won’t be low Level. The Lady Saintess can even subdue such a High-Level Aberrant Beast. Impressive, impressive.”

“Don’t say so much. Lady Saintess, what do we do now?”

Kamiyu raised both hands, facing everyone, and said loudly: “Everyone, look at me, look at me, look at me. I’m announcing something.”

Everyone turned their gazes toward her.

“I am now going to open the spatial gate. Everyone may choose to return to the Real World.”

“Can we come back after returning?” someone interrupted.

“Do not interrupt the Lady Saintess.”

“After everyone returns, you must find and ensure the safety of the Black Sphere. Only by using the Black Sphere can you log back in after returning;

The Black Sphere is extremely crucial—it is currently the only physical login device. You must ensure that the Black Sphere is brought back to the Crimson Earth. At the very least, one Black Sphere must be brought back,” Kamiyu said with great seriousness.

• The Real World is a major Plot, expected to be a medium-to-long storyline of over 200,000 words.
