Chapter 447: Chapter 383: The Goddess Who Enjoys Corruption

Location: Dark Territory - Beyond the City of Dusk - Bone Swamp

Chloe and his party are traveling through it.

"Sister Fufu, just how deep did you hide the treasure back then, to think of putting it in this place?"

Fufu remained silent.

Chloe was the most reckless top-tier warrior she’d ever seen. He wasn’t exactly brainless, but he was used to solving everything that could be handled with fists with his fists.

If he wanted to preserve his own treasury, he might embed it directly into the ground while in Filthy Sun Demon Monarch form, filled with the Power of Filthy Sun Destruction.

Anyone thinking of taking his treasury would have to survive the Power of Filthy Sun first.

[Isn’t that just a death trap?]

But Fufu, who at her peak possessed unmatched power across the continent, didn’t like doing things that way.

"Didn’t you learn about the Elf Treasure’s situation within Rephya’s simulation? There’s something very important to Nini there, and it can’t be casually exposed."

Of course, she was referring to the Secret Technique of growth.

Next to them, the Treasure Elf was somewhat listless due to the damp environment, but whenever Secret Technique was mentioned, his adorable eyes sparkled brightly.

"I’m just curious why the Zor Elf’s settlement happens to be above your treasury."

"To snatch some good stuff, I suppose. After all, if truth be told, my treasury probably contains the most Divine Artifact Materials in all of The Stars."

In local legends, the weapons warriors needed to slay an evil dragon could be mass-produced by any Deity as long as they were willing to spend Divine Power.

So, let alone the thirteen weapons currently being crafted; even Chloe’s group wouldn’t let their original weapons wander across The Stars unless they fell.

This would be a colossal waste.

Take the Thunderous Battle Halberd, for example. Would ordinary users be able to harness even 1/20 of its power?

Thus, it’s practically impossible to see Divine Artifacts on the Stars Continent.

A weapon imbued with Divine Spirit or a pseudo-Divine Artifact blessed with a trace of divinity is extremely rare.

"Top-tier equipment in various nations is far from being real Divine Artifacts. Most means that can harness Divine Artifact power are combination weapons."

Fufu recalled the Divine Artifacts of the Locke Empire.

Those Divine Artifacts possessed Divine Artifact-level power, but they seemed more like Magic Arrays.

The Divine Artifact served merely as an outlet for Magic, whereas the Magic Array, which truly empowered the Divine Artifact, was well hidden.

"Yes, all the Divine Artifacts of the Locke Empire have such traits. Every Curse Swordsman with Locke blood naturally possesses the Divine Artifact Rune deep within their essence.

In other words, the power of the Divine Artifacts can only be maximized when the bloodline of the Thirteen Bloodline Families is prosperous, and strong individuals arise."

"Indeed, that’s why the Locke Empire..."

The exiled faction didn’t rebuild the Divine Artifacts again later.

However, the newly reconstructed Divine Artifacts showed significant disparity compared to the other families.

They even fell directly to the level of Ancient Weapons.

"Judging by that, your treasury sure is tempting."

The treasury of the fallen Elf Queen once concealed the legacy of all Golden Land.

Such a legacy was tempting even for Powerful Divine Power.

Despite knowing it’s hard to obtain, having the opportunity to try is still worthwhile.

The settlement of the Zor Elves resulted from the Elf Main God’s powers.

With Stuart’s strength back then, even as a Main God, so what?

The possibility of finding the treasure was virtually zero.

"With the imperial strength of the Elf Main God, it’s reasonable to sense the general area of the Elf Treasure, but he couldn’t find the precise location and entrance."

"So, the settlement of the Zor Elves was an opportunity left by the Elf Main God for them, right?"

"Yes, back then, Rose was not yet the Spider Queen. Although as the Elf Goddess she betrayed her lover, the many years of marital affection lingered on. Even after the Elf Main God banished her to the Dark Territory, he left the Divine Empress with capital for her return.

As long as she could spend enough time, if not finding where my treasure was, even just breaking open its entrance, she could acquire fragments of the World Tree to forge Divine Artifacts.

With such accomplishments, Rose’s return to the Elf Divine Kingdom was only a matter of time."

"However, Rose didn’t choose this path, did she?"

It is widely known that the Elf Goddess discovered the corrupted power hidden deep within the Pious Elf Goddess upon her fall into the Dark Territory.

From then on, the former Elf Goddess became the Queen Spider, reveling in corruption and extracting primal power from it, eventually becoming the menacing Evil God with the faith of the entire Zor Elves of the Dark Territory.

Her son, who once wished to save the Spider Queen, not only failed to prevent the Mother Goddess’s corruption but also witnessed Rose slaying other Deities of the Zor Elf Pantheon.

Endless pain engulfed this divine child, yet regardless of how he regretted, there was no turning back.

"Actually, in the simulation, I didn’t retrieve all the legacy from the Elf Treasure."

Accurately speaking, he couldn’t take it out.

The Elf Treasure set up by Stuart, although open to the Seven Heroes, only allowed for some items to be taken.

Clearly, this was because Stuart worried about the companions emptying the treasury, leaving nothing for later when they needed materials.

"I thought you weren’t on guard against me."

Bringing this up, Chloe laughed shamelessly, "I noticed there were signs your treasury had been accessed, likely Aik took something from it."

The Shield Hero Aik.

Apart from the Dwarf God, the longest-living dwarf in the world today.

It can be said that with Aik’s ability, he could fully absorb the techniques accumulated by the dwarves over the years, and there would be no problem at all.

However, a problem that the dwarves find difficult to overcome is also vividly reflected in Aik.

That is their unbounded greed for all materials that can be used to craft Divine Weapons.

Chloe doesn’t even dare imagine what would happen if Aik knew he could freely take materials from the Elf Treasure; would Aik empty out the whole treasury?

Alright.

Shouldn’t use a question.

This is an inevitable result.

[You really use this to test the dwarves?]

According to Aik’s habit, after crafting those materials into Divine Weapons, the ownership would still be handed back to Stuart.

Dwarves are really only good at forging weapons.

As for the destination after forging, they’re not as concerned.

"Actually, it’s not just Aik that I’m guarding against, but also Louis."

"Huh?"

"Why are you puzzled? Do you really think that kid Louis is anything good?"

Fufu rolled her eyes.

Who in later generations doesn’t know the famous King of Redemption, initially known because of his identity plagued by the Great Sin of Greed.

"So, when you first saw Kai back then, you already knew that guy’s situation?"

"Please, I am the owner of the Eye of Truth, the observer of insights, that kid has such a heavy thieving vibe, how could I not take a closer look?

Maybe you didn’t know, individually speaking, his most powerful subordinate may not be those who hold some parts of the True God Uniqueness, but rather his familiar, Star Slime Limuru."

"...To be strict, it used to be the strongest."

Star Slime Limuru, now that’s a creature that truly nurtured the Uniqueness of All Things.

Honestly, if it weren’t for its familiar status, causing its fundamental nature to be incomplete, resembling a symbiote attached to an old companion more than an independent life form.

This very essence led Limuru, who nurtured the Uniqueness of All Things, to completely lose the potential to fuse with the True God Uniqueness.

That’s why it was Kallen who ended up carrying this power.

"Thus, Louis’s equipment is actually the origin of today’s Star Realm Armor, capable of devouring everything to evolve, making the Star Slime have an unbounded demand for resources."

Somehow, Chloe suddenly recalled an oddity that Lilith mentioned during a chat about the post-Era of Turmoil.

[Underneath the Fallen Star Sea where the Sea Race resides, seabed mineral deposits which should be abundant appeared with numerous voids for unknown reasons]

Of course.

As Limuru watched Lilith grow from childhood, their relationship is naturally excellent.

When Lilith brought it up back then, it was merely idle chatter, unknowingly under the extremely subtle gaze from Fufu.

Various past events floated in Chloe’s mind, and she suddenly realized something.

"Damn it, could it be..."

"Yeah, during the period when Louis went out to flatten the remnants of the Era of Turmoil, Lilith was always brought up by the Star Slime.

As a natural Demigod, only Limuru could stop it."

Chloe couldn’t help but laugh.

Saying the two are somewhat like half-father and half-daughter wouldn’t be an issue.

Oh, wait, who knows what gender that kid Louis assigned to the slime?

Strictly speaking, slimes do not possess a gender.

But he hasn’t seen the Star Slime, not knowing if this monster surpassing the limits of slime has anything special.

"Because of their close relationship, Lilith never considered what materials Louis’s familiar, who has always remained inactive, consumed to evolve into such a powerful presence."

The answer is naturally...the minerals beneath the Fallen Star Sea.

Laughed till breathless.

This means, although during the era of the Seven Heroes, Stuart wasn’t aware of the existence of the Star Slime.

Yet the Eye of Truth granted the Elf Queen the ability to see through the essence.

She knows well how much damage a host nurturing the Great Sin: Greed and a slime that needs to devour materials to evolve could cause to her treasury.

So she specially imposed various restrictive conditions on her treasure.

Laugh to death, Kai, look at the trouble you’ve caused.

Curious how everyone would evaluate you?

After this matter, Chloe must inform Lilith about the Elf Treasure.

He’s already anxiously looking forward to seeing the twisted and irritable face of his old friend upon hearing the news.

No other reason.

The amusement is boundless.
