Chapter 593: No matter the consequences, I will not go against my wishes!
This was the most peaceful sentence spoken since putting on the mask of Pride.
It was like narrating an event to an old friend.
After putting on the mask of Pride, the word "old friend" had become quite special, even an overload of arrogance!
And after he finished speaking, the Extreme Path Battle Axe instantly responded!
The golden light of the battle axe shone brilliantly, dazzling everyone's eyes, erupting with exceptionally resplendent radiance upon this pitch-black earth.
A touch of divinity manifested upon this axe!
*Buzz!*
A tremendous buzzing sound rang out, and a layer of golden ripples rapidly expanded across the ground's surface, injecting a unique, scorching heat into this frigid world.
Sun had just recovered from his previous shock when his eyes widened once more, staring down at "Sin" below and the axe in his hand.
He sensed the aura of a god from that axe!Huh?
His Blasphemer's Medal had recognized what it was even earlier than he did, which was why he felt today was truly an eye-opener.
Could that axe actually be considered a god? Did he need to go insult that thing?
Xie Antong stared in astonishment at the dazzling golden light on the ground, the feeling of trembling in her heart exceptionally pronounced.
From the perspective of life hierarchy, although she was special, she could also be considered a power clone of [Pleasure].
Those with a relatively good understanding of the "divine power" level were very sensitive to this thing. That feeling of gazing up at an insurmountable peak had completely exceeded the computational capacity of her eyes.
As for the others, they lacked understanding in this area, but they could still sense the extraordinary nature of that axe at this moment.
It seemed that wherever it was, that place became the center of heaven and earth!
So much so that even [Death] fell silent, seemingly also surprised by everything happening before its eyes.
[Divine Weapon Ascension Completed!]
[Divine Weapon Spirit has been awakened. Extreme Path Battle Axe has completed evolution, becoming a Divine Weapon!]
The notification sound from his own game interface rang out simultaneously, heralding the birth of a divine artifact.
Divine Weapon Spirit...
Pride stroked the golden blade of his axe. Although the other party couldn't truly speak like the Black Knight, it was as if their hearts were connected, sharing some kind of resonance.
He ran his hand over that blade capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rocks, yet received not a single injury.
Like caressing a beloved, he toyed with the axe before him, a satisfied smile appearing on Pride's face.
From this moment on, the first human capable of wielding a Divine Weapon had appeared!
Unfortunately, the video feed had already been cut off at this point. Only the apex players of this world were fortunate enough to witness all this.
"Heh heh... Ha ha ha ha!"
Pride's voice shifted from low to uproarious laughter, exceptionally excited. Holding the axe in his hand and looking down at the Death Messenger beneath him, he felt like he was the knife and the others were the fish on the chopping block.
The Death Messenger's expression looked completely shattered, its spiritual core crushed, lying there as if utterly defiled.
Holding the battle axe, he gently lowered it, placing it against the Death Messenger's face.
The protective film shielding Him was instantly dissolved by the axe's golden light. The Death Messenger's pupils instantly dilated, and He let out a terrified scream!
No actual sound was made;
it seemed like just a light touch, yet that beautiful face instantly gushed with blood!
[Stop.]
[Death]'s voice finally reappeared, still as calm and void as ever, but at this juncture, it was clearly somewhat urgent.
From the moment the axe pierced His automatic aura defense, He could only rely on words. After all, providing more protective power would already count as Him taking action.
Lu Ce's Extreme Path Battle Axe hovered before the Death Messenger. He actually didn't mind having a chat with [Death].
But given Pride's personality, it couldn't be because he was unable to kill the Messenger before him. He had to possess the ability to slay at any moment.
"What do you want to discuss with me?" Pride said indifferently, showing no change in tone even when facing this [Death].
[Turning this game into a draw would benefit you.]
[Winning won't grant you particularly high rewards, but everything could be pushed into an unknown direction.]
"Explain in detail." Pride's voice remained concise and overbearing, even sounding like an interrogation.
That feeling was very eerie, causing [Death] to fall silent for a moment, somewhat reluctant to speak.
[I will not explain the specifics to you, but choosing victory will not bring you any benefit.]
[You can propose some conditions.]
"Then will you die in His place?" Pride opened his mouth, negotiating with remarkably good temper.
[Death] was speechless. Uttering such words already didn't seem like the intent to communicate.
He couldn't help but feel somewhat annoyed. This guy really had enormous guts, and dealing with him was starting to become tricky.
[A draw in this match, as if nothing happened, would be good for everyone.]
[Otherwise, those willing to ignore factions to help you would have failed in vain.]
Hearing His words, Pride couldn't even be bothered to reply. Perfect Life himself almost laughed.
What kind of talk was that? Would a guy like "Sin" care about help or no help? Given his personality, he'd probably say it was superfluous right now.
Pride also completely ignored this statement, simply lowering the battle axe in his hand a bit further, pressing it against the Death Messenger's face!
That scorching divine light seared His body and soul, causing Him extreme discomfort.
"Get to the point."
Lu Ce's arrogant, dismissive attitude made [Death]'s voice turn somewhat icy. A human, thinking that holding a divine weapon gave him the qualification to speak to Him like this?!
I really want to... crush him!
[I can give you a preview in advance. You have already let me see you.]
[Everything seen by Death will ultimately return to Death. You will die by my hand.]
[As for now, you'd better do as I say.]
[If you kill Him now and win this so-called match, changes beyond expectation will occur. That is something your power cannot imagine.]
"Heh heh, sounds like I'm actually looking forward to it," Pride replied with a laugh.
[You, and even your world, will bear the consequences!]
Death's voice finally grew a few degrees louder, causing the entire world to tremble. The players flying in the air swayed back and forth, struggling to maintain their footing.
Just a single sentence infused with a bit of emotion was enough to make the entire world struggle to withstand it.
Just as everyone was watching "Sin" with rapt attention, a sudden change occurred! Without any warning, he swung the giant axe in his hand, bringing it down directly upon the Death Messenger's head!
It was as if, mid-conversation, he had suddenly lost his mind.
The axe fell. Amidst a dull, thunderous crash, the Death Messenger's head was shattered, its entire body disintegrated by the sweeping energy.
"I suddenly don't feel like it anymore," Lu Ce said, hoisting the axe onto his shoulder.
"No matter the consequences, nothing can go against my will!"
