“D*mn you, Reid, you’re too cunning. Didn’t we agree to get those holy relics and let Watson make a starlight-tier weapon for each of us? Why did you tell him to make only one for you?”
Before Watson could respond, Antonio had already started to complain.
“Antonio, is not that staff in your hand the diamond-tier weapon Watson made for you? You already have a diamond-tier weapon, so don’t overthink it. Watson has never made a weapon for me, so he should make one for me first.”
Reid’s righteous retort stunned Antonio, and then his expression darkened. “I don’t care. Either he makes one for the both of us, or doesn’t make one at all!” Even if it were a stone, a starlight-tier item would be more precious than a diamond-tier item. A diamond-tier item would be trash.
A few months ago, Antonio still treated his staff as something precious. He would never say that a diamond-tier item was trash. However, in front of the starlight-tier temptation, a diamond-tier thing was nothing to him..
“Antonio, we have talked so much here and haven’t asked Watson for his opinion. Why don’t we ask Watson who he wants to make a weapon for?”
Reid turned to look at Watson, his expression becoming more and more amiable. “Watson, I still have some profound sword techniques that I haven’t taught you. As long as you help me fuse a weapon, I will teach you everything I know. How about that?”
“Watson, if you make weapons for me, then I will not hide anything from you this time.”
Antonio followed closely behind, expressing his stance that he was not willing to be outdone.
“Masters, please don’t be like that. Don’t put me in a difficult position.” Watson scratched his head, his expression a little awkward. “First, let me see what those holy relics are. If there are enough of them, it’s not impossible for me to make two starlight-tier weapons.”
“It’s a deal then.”
“It’s not convenient to show them here. Let’s go back to Master Reid’s place first.”
As soon as Watson finished speaking, Reid and Antonio looked at him as if they were waiting for him to say that. Reid waved his hand and sealed the surrounding space while Antonio chanted into the sky. A vast magical teleportation array appeared. It enveloped and teleported them in an instant.
At the Sword Saint’s courtyard…
Samuel and the others were sitting in the courtyard. They yawned when they saw the craftsmen who had been invited to repair the huge pit that Watson had made when he was practicing his sword technique.
It had been almost half a day since their master left the courtyard. “Are we just going to wait here?”
“What else can we do? Master gave us a day off. Are you going to disobey his orders?” a disciple said.
“Of course, I don’t dare disobey Master’s orders. Plus, Watson is also too powerful. Master has been strict with us for so many years, and that is the first time he has given everyone a day off. Watson’s power must have frightened him so much! Even I felt my confidence take a hit when I saw that young man’s monstrous talent, let alone Master. I was quite proud to be Master’s disciple, but now it seems that I’m still far from real progress.”
“Who says so? I think it’s different from what you thought. There are many people with such high talent in the world, and they work so hard. What’s our reason for not working hard? Whenever Master told us to train hard every day, we did not comply. And now we suddenly get a day off, we feel empty. I wonder when Master is coming back?”
Samuel did not say a word. He only lowered his head. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something. He raised his head and saw a vast teleportation array in the sky. Then, Antonio, Watson, and the others appeared.
“It’s Master. They are back,” someone exclaimed.
Samuel took the lead and stood up. He bowed his head respectfully toward Reid. “Greetings, Master.”
Reid waved his hand casually, indicating that he did not need to stand on ceremony. He looked impatient. “Samuel, quickly, clear everyone out of the courtyard. I’ll give you three minutes. I don’t want to see any outsiders here.”
“But Master, those craftsmen haven’t finished their work yet.” Samuel was stunned for a moment before he spoke hesitantly. It seemed like his master was very anxious. It was the first time he saw his master, who had always been calm, show such an expression.
“Pay them. They don’t need to continue working here. Go, quickly.”
“Yes, Master.”
Under Reid’s firm orders, Samuel gave some money to the workers in the yard and ordered them to leave. Curiously, he brought his other junior brothers to Reid’s side, wanting to see why his master was so anxious.
“Watson, the venue has been arranged. Let’s hurry and start.”
Reid, who could not wait, turned to Watson. Closely after that, Antonio also waved his arm and chanted an incantation. A black hole emerged in the air. More than 20 light shadows flew out and landed on the ground, turning into colorful treasures.
Each of those treasures emitted a diamond-tier aura. The moment they appeared, the entire courtyard trembled, and the air became sticky. Even Samuel, who was a platinum-tier elite, could not help but hold his breath.
“Watson, take a look. Is there anything useful in those things? If there is not enough, Antonio and I will go to the Campbell family to ask for more. They claim that they only have 24 holy relics, but I know that they must have hidden more.”
After Antonio released the holy relics, Reid waved his hand toward the courtyard. A vast layer of sword aura immediately enveloped the entire area, ensuring that the aura would not leak out no matter what happened inside.
“Let me take a look first.”
Watson touched his chin as he looked at the holy relics in front of him one by one. The first one was made of three triangular-shaped squares, each of which had an eye symbol sculpture.
[Third-era diamond-tier holy relic: Void Sentry]
[Abilities: Absolute Shift (opens a void door, banishes enemies), Void Sentry Tower (can be built into a diamond-tier sentry tower, gains detection ability and defense against attacks of the same level class).]
“I’ve seen this relic before.”
He moved his gaze to the next holy relic, and the information appeared in front of him.
[Twelfth-era diamond-tier holy relic: the Tudor Holy Grail]
[Abilities: River of Death (the Holy Grail carries the river water that symbolizes death, enough to poison a diamond-tier’s existence), Soul Ferry (through the Holy Grail, the soul can be reincarnated and replicated into another person’s body. Under certain conditions, the memory can be perpetuated), Absolute Load (the Holy Grail acts as a container, able to carry everything in the world).]
The second relic was a cup that was made from some kind of gold-like metal. At the bottom of the bowl-shaped cup was an antique base with mysterious and old pictures engraved on it. It looked like a person dressed in luxurious clothes was wrapped in the shape of a mummy and placed into a golden coffin, sealed in a huge inverted pyramid.
However, the picture was very blurry due to its age.
Next, Watson looked at the third holy relic. His eyes brightened because that was an ancient-looking longsword. If Master Reid wanted a handy weapon, that sword was the most suitable for the fusion.
The ancient longsword was about a meter long, and the blade was slightly curved. The blade and the direction near the hilt were engraved with a mysterious symbol. It was emitting a faint light, slowly rotating, and the entire hilt was in the shape of a feather. It was as if it was made from the feathers of some terrifying magical beast.
[Third-era Diamond-tier holy relic: the Sword of Creation]
[Abilities: Absolute Cut (capable of cutting everything), Space Cut (capable of splitting space into different squares to trap enemies), Time Cut (capable of splitting time and allowing time to jump forward), and Fate Cut (capable of evading an unwanted fate and changing a predetermined outcome, but can only be used once a day).]
[Bonus: Universal Key (can open any door in the world).]
“Each of those holy relics has powerful functions. It’s hard to imagine how powerful the civilizations that existed before us were, and how they were destroyed.”
Watson quickly looked through all the holy relics. Some were weapons that could cut through everything, some were accessories with strange effects, and some were utterly unknown. No matter what kind of holy relics they were, they all had one characteristic: they were powerful. The 24 holy relics were mainly from a period between the third and twelfth eras. There were no holy relics from before the third era.
According to what Watson knew, the world’s timeline was divided into twelve eras since recorded history. The more famous one was the mythological era more than 10,000 years ago, also known as the first generation.
More than 10,000 years ago, the continent was dozens of times bigger than the current one. There were starlight and even higher-tier existences everywhere on the continent. However, because those existences were too powerful, they caused the continent to shatter due to their conflicts. The shattered continent could no longer support their survival, so they were forced to migrate to the starry sky.
After the mythological era ended, it was time for the second era, the platinum era. Even though the starlight-tier gods had left the continent, their bloodline continued to exist there. Those gods’ descendants possessed a strength that was comparable to a platinum-tier elite when they were born, in addition to some terrifying abilities inherited from the gods. Such creatures were collectively known as the mythological creatures on the continent, including angels and demons.
The second era ended in a conflict between the angels, demons, humans, the sea race, the tree spirits, and other races. The human race rose from within. Borrowing from the civilization of the gods, humans established the Void Civilization with the ability to reproduce and learn skills that surpassed any other race. At the peak of the Void Civilization, humans displayed strength comparable to the mythological era and created many starlight-tier magical ships. They were prepared to explore the void, but unfortunately, those powerful ships were destroyed overnight for various reasons.
After that, even though most of the Void Civilization’s technology had disappeared, humans continued to occupy the dominant position on the continent eras after eras. The last era was the Tudor dynasty, which was about 1,200 years ago.
“In general, a holy relic would be more powerful the older it was because it might contain the gods’ technology. Later relics had less power because that initial knowledge was lost. Just like how the kingdom can only produce platinum-tier items currently.”
Watson sighed in his heart. As he sensed his two masters’ fervent gazes, he collected his thoughts and began to extend his right hand toward the holy relics in front of him, activating the system.
“System fusion, activate.”
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing 12 diamond-tier holy relics, obtaining a starlight-tier weapon, the Goddess of Fate’s Thread of Destiny.]
Following the system notification, half of the 24 holy relics disappeared in an instant. They turned into bright lights that collided before fusing into a shining thread. The thread seemed to exist in that world and still be in another space. It contained a strong aura of destiny. Just looking at it made people’s hearts flutter, and they felt like they were about to be judged.
[Starlight-tier weapon: Goddess of Fate’s Thread of Destiny]
[Abilities: retaining the Sword of Creation’s abilities.]
[Additional abilities: Destiny (connect the Thread of Destiny to a person’s body. It can connect the other party’s fate to oneself and transfer all damage received to the other party), Absolute Recombination (the Thread of Destiny can be decomposed into the smallest energy factor, and can also be reassembled into objects of any shape), Absolute Hit (the attack will definitely hit), Karma Reversal (after its release, the enemy will first suffer the damage), the Divine Kingdom of Fate ((after releasing the divine kingdom that governs fate, the fate of the enemy in will be controlled by the host).]
When the Thread of Destiny appeared, the Sword Saint’s disciples who were watching the situation were stunned. They had seen Reid return in a panic, chase the outsiders away, and lock down the courtyard. They did not know what Reid had wanted to do. They finally realized that Reid wanted Watson to make a starlight-tier weapon.
“Am I seeing things? Those 12 holy relics disappeared in an instant and turned into a thread?” One of the disciples rubbed his eyes.
“Even though the 12 items turned into one, I feel like the new item has become stronger. Just looking at me makes me want to kneel. It’s not inferior to Master’s Kingdom of the Sword,” another disciple said. He had the same surprised expression on his face.
“Watson, I’ve asked you to fuse a sword. Why did you fuse a thread? That doesn’t match my appearance.”
Reid frowned at the item that Watson had fused, expressing his dissatisfaction.
“Don’t worry, Master. Actually, this starlight-tier weapon is much more powerful than you think. The attack in its thread state makes it more flexible. At the same time, the threads can also be entangled, turning into different shapes of weapons. For example, the traditional thin sword.”
Watson raised his hand. The threads of destiny around his body immediately gathered and turned into a thin sword that flickered with a translucent luster. It seemed to exist in that world yet looked illusory.
“Another example is the mighty and domineering heavy sword.”
Following Watson’s voice, the thin sword in his hand immediately spread outward and turned into a giant sword as long as a door and as thick as a palm. Mysterious symbols were engraved on it.
“It can even be turned into armor.”
Watson disintegrated the heavy sword. Threads spread outward spontaneously and attached themselves to his body. They gradually adhered to each other and weaved into a set of bright white armor. More threads spread around the armor, connecting like a net.
“Watson, you can’t just tell me that. Show me how powerful those threads are.” Reid shook his head.
“It’s simple.”
Watson smiled and extended one of the threads from the armor, connecting it to Antonio, who was not far away. Then, he waved at Reid. “Master Reid, try to attack me now.”
“Platinum-tier fighting technique, Infinite Sword Slash.”
Reid raised his hand and used a platinum-tier sword technique. The violent sword aura mixed and turned into a huge sky-splitting sword that slashed at Watson’s body fiercely. The Thread of Destiny armor on Watson’s chest shattered, but he was not injured at all. On the other hand, Antonio, who was nearby, flew backward with a whoosh. His clothes were torn, and blood seeped from his chest.
“That is the first ability of the Thread of Destiny—Destiny. It can transfer all damages to others.”
Antonio fell heavily to the ground. After a long while, he shook his head and got up. He just happened to hear Watson’s explanation. He looked flustered and exasperated. “Watson, how could you treat Master like that? Even if you want to demonstrate, you don’t have to use me as an example, right?”
“I’m sorry, Master. You are the perfect example to highlight the power of that weapon, right? With other people, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to have such an effect.”
Watson looked at Antonio with an apologetic expression and bowed. Then, he looked at Reid. “Of course, I don’t need to use Master Antonio’s next move! The inherent skill of the Thread of Destiny—Karma Reversal. ”
As he spoke, a breeze blew across Reid’s face, and a bloody scar appeared.
“I’m injured?” Reid subconsciously tilted his head. He raised his hand and stroked his cheek. His face showed a look of disbelief. “Watson, what’s going on?”
As the Sword Saint, he was confident that no one could ambush him. However, he did not feel any attack, yet his cheek was inexplicably injured.
Watson raised his right hand. A thread of destiny flew in the direction of his finger along the wound on Reid’s face. “That is the second ability of the Thread of Destiny—Karma Reversal. That move allows the result of the attack to appear on the enemy’s body one step ahead of time. It causes damage before the attack is launched. No matter how strong the enemy is, they can’t dodge it.”
“I have just demonstrated the two of the abilities of the Thread of Destiny. Now I will show its final ability—the Divine Kingdom of Fate! ”
Following Watson’s voice, the Thread of Destiny wrapped around his body instantly expanded and covered the entire courtyard. Threads gathered in midair and turned into a brilliant divine kingdom. Threads also hung down from the kingdom—they were connected to the heads of the people in the courtyard.
“What’s going on? Why am I moving on my own?”
“My body is suddenly out of my control.”
The Sword Saint’s disciples cried out in surprise. Their bodies were connected to threads, which were moving stiffly in a strange shape. The source of the threads was connected to Watson on the other side of the divine kingdom. At that moment, Watson seemed to have transformed into the ruler of the kingdom. The other people in the courtyard were puppets, entirely under his control.
