The Ultimate Evolution

The Evil Sword Apophis seemed to have sensed a danger that was akin to the threat from an arch-enemy . It immediately retracted all its energy back inside itself . Even Sheyan"s hand was no longer being burned . Right now, the sword looked no different from a common weapon with its simple and concise lines that had no unnecessary embellishment or decoration . Everything about it was made for the sake of simplicity, practicality and efficiency .

Its information soon emerged in front of Sheyan .

[ Lieutenant General Blood Sword/Evil Sword Apophis (Perfect Evolutionary Mutation/High-Tier) ]

[ Origin: Nightmare Realm VII ]

[ Attack Power: 250~700 ]

[ Attribute: Dual attributes of Dark/Fire . Weapons with Dark/Fire attributes will cause additional damage to enemies with Holy and Ice attributes, in addition to having a high probability of ignoring defence when attacking other enemies . ]

[ Material: High-energy molybdenum, coil steel, meteorite incandescent core, cursed teeth . ]

[ Addons: Calyx Handle, Sword Knot . ]

[ Calyx Handle: A handle woven from the silk of the giant interstellar beast, Kun Silkworm . It increases grip power . When attacking, the wielder has a high probability of gaining an 11% bonus to Strength and Agility . Lasts for 10 minutes . ]

[ Sword Knot: A Firewashed cloth woven from the fibers of top quality interstellar Firewashed fruit is tied to the sword handle . Not only does it increase the sword"s aesthetic value, it can also be used to wipe the sword"s blade . It increases Charm by 7 points and increases the weapon"s. .h.i.t rate by 2% . ]

[ Weight: 6 . 5 kg ]

[ Equipping Requirement: Lieutenant General (after mutating into Evil Sword Apophis, the equipping condition is lowered to Field Officer rank, be it official or reserve duty) . ]
(TL: Field Officer = Major, Lieutenant Colonel, or Colonel . )

[ This sword will never wear out . ]

[ Active Ability: "Apophis"s Sneer" -- Apophis is definitely not a merciful weapon . Whenever you find yourself in a hopeless situation, you can choose to give your body up to Apophis . If you can still regain your consciousness afterwards, you will see corpses littering the ground around you . The enemies you wish to kill will definitely be among the corpses, but so may your brothers, your companions! ]

[ After activating "Apophis"s Sneer", the wielder will lose their consciousness and become a puppet that will feel no pain . Attack speed and movement speed will increase by 50%, speed reduction conditions will not take effect, blocking rate will increase by 100%, attack power will increase by 100%, but defence will drop to zero for 120 seconds . The wielder will attack every living creature around them indiscriminately until the end of the ability duration, or until there are no more creatures that can be killed . ]

[ At the end of the ability duration, there is a 33% chance of the wielder"s main personality shattering, thus becoming a slave to Apophis . ]

[ Lieutenant General Blood Weapon Pa.s.sive Ability: "Enemy of Mankind" -- This weapon will cause additional damage to any humanoid creature (including contestants) . The additional damage ignores defence, and the damage value ranges from 33% to 66% of the attack . ]

[ "Perfect Evolutionary Mutation" -- When a Lieutenant General Blood Sword is forged with the maximum required materials, the weapon may undergo evolutionary mutation, but this evolutionary mutation may not necessarily happen in the direction you hope for . For example, the weapon may gain properties that increase the weapon"s long-range attack power by 300%, or increase the weapon"s magic attack power by 500 . . . . These properties are indeed powerful, but for them to appear on a Lieutenant General Blood Sword is nothing short of a tragedy . ]

[ "Perfect Evolutionary Mutation" means that the gained properties are all top-quality properties of great use to the wielder . Otherwise, it wouldn"t have been described with the word "perfect" . ]

[ High-Tier: The weapon is forged with weapon-forging materials of outstanding qualities, so it has been refined during the manufacturing process . The actual quality of the weapon is comparable to a General Blood Sword . ]

[ Special Ability (Unique): "Extinction" ]
(Please refer to chapter 1208 for more details on "Extinction" . )

[ This weapon has been soul-bound . It cannot be used by anyone else but the soul-bound wielder unless the wielder is killed . ]

[ Apophis will cause continuous damage to any wielder who is not soul-bound to it . ]

　　***

There was an inscription engraved on Apophis" fuller: "Remember, it"s not power that decides victory or defeat, but right or wrong . "

While everyone was carefully scrutinising the properties of the weapon, Sheyan seemed to have felt something and suddenly looked back . Although there were at least seven or eight buildings blocking his view, he could still see two demonic claws burning with fire fiercely penetrating through the dimensional barrier, pulling the barrier apart like they were tearing at paper!

Such a brutal behaviour would undoubtedly give rise to a huge amount of pain and anger in the Noah Realm that had descended its will upon this plane .

Previously, a Chosen blessed by Noah Realm C had almost died from bad luck, even with the luck that the Noah Realm had bestowed upon the Chosen! A Chosen was not immortal, but to make him die by reducing his luck to the limit was equivalent to giving Noah Realm C a slap in the face! Therefore, Noah Realm C did not hesitate to produce a dimensional storm to express its anger .

Meanwhile, the act of forcibly tearing apart the dimensional barrier this time had intruded upon, or to be exact, provoked the authority of Noah Realm F . That"s because this ability of directly folding and tearing up the dimension to create a wormhole was a power it had bestowed upon a powerful contestant it was nurturing, Seeded Contestant No . 877661 -- more precisely, Rocky! It was supposed to be the prerogative of Rocky"s weapon! Only the combination of Gungnir and the soul of the Lance of Longinus was supposed to have this insane ability to strike at an enemy regardless of distance!

It was this ability that had severely injured the Divine Servant . Rocky also often used this ability to travel, making himself seem really mysterious .

All the power of a contestant came from the Realm under which they belonged . This rare, destructive ability was also something that placed a great burden on Noah Realm F . Now, someone actually dared to make use of this power, and the person was not Seeded Contestant No . 877661! What"s worse, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d had been caught red-handed for being in the act for too long!!

This was akin to discovering a rat in your granary . The rat must die!

The will of Noah Realm F instantly descended . The surrounding air seemed to freeze at that moment .

A monster over ten meters tall, covered in flames, emerged from the dimensional rift . The monster was like a huge ball of meat with no neck . It consisted of different parts from various corpses sewn together . A terrifyingly huge metal chain wrapped around it, and a relatively small palm grew from its back . The weirdest thing about it was the number "7" on its head .

But the dignity of a Realm"s will was majestic . The huge monster was instantly reduced to dust! However, the Realm did not seem to notice a strange distortion of s.p.a.ce underneath the monster! A shadow slithered forward like a snake and disappeared into the dark night . The shadow could see faint remnants of light within the darkness which clearly indicated the direction he should move in, guiding him like road signs .

Those were the traces Apophis left behind through the soul binding!

The shadow heaved a long sigh of relief . All"s good as long as Apophis was still safe . Another cracking sound came from his body, signifying that another of his life-saving item had shattered, but for Bind . . . . this was all worth it as long as he could retrieve Apophis in time .

Bind had pursued nearly two kilometers in the blink of an eye, the scattered soul fragments pointing the way like ghostly road signs . Bind believed that he would locate the enemies in less than a kilometer - no, five hundred meters! If he weren"t in a bustling city like Detroit, he would have discovered the enemies by now!

But when Bind turned the corner after pa.s.sing through an alley, he suddenly stopped in his tracks . A chilly sensation washed over him .

Although the scene in front of him was full of s.h.i.+ning lights, he could no longer see the trail of glowing soul fragments! Bind could not help but scream in madness!

"Impossible! IMPOSSIBLE!!"

There were only two possible explanations for this: either the soul imprint had been erased, or the Evil Sword Apophis had been destroyed!

Bind knew of two ways to erase the soul imprint on the weapon, but neither of them could possibly happen here and now! As for Apophis being destroyed, that was even more improbable . What kind of fool would destroy such a top-cla.s.s weapon? Besides, even if there was a fool like that, how would he destroy it? Bind had never considered a problem like this at all!

Bind had no idea what was happening . Although his sight was filled with brilliant lights, his mind was completely dark!

It was a maddening and suffocating darkness!

He never imagined that the situation would get out of control to this extent . He also could never have imagined that the object of his desire, the Evil Sword Apophis, was only less than 400 meters away from him right now! But, the weapon was now covered in a strange layer of modest light .

That was a sign that the liquid metal life-form was trying hard to eat something . It had used all its digestive power to form a miniature dimension with its body cavity! With Apophis in this separate dimension, it was naturally impossible for Bind to receive any signal from the sword .

Sheyan suddenly received a series of notifications:

[ Due to your liquid metal life-form"s decomposition of the Evil Sword Apophis, you obtained 5 achievement points . . . Please wait patiently for further details . ]

[ Due to your liquid metal life-form"s decomposition of the Evil Sword Apophis, you obtained 9 achievement points . . . Please wait patiently for further details . ]The voice of the immature liquid metal life-form was still very tender . In order to emphasise that its request was legitimate, rational and reasonable, it had made four tiny fists and was ceaselessly waving them about . It was obvious from this how strong the desire in its heart was . The Evil Sword Apophis seemed to have sensed a danger that was akin to the threat from an arch-enemy . It immediately retracted all its energy back inside itself . Even Sheyans hand was no longer being burned . Right now, the sword looked no different from a common weapon with its simple and concise lines that had no unnecessary embellishment or decoration .
