Silence reigned.
Everyone's eyes held a flicker of undisguised shock.
Kaga Nanae felt her legs go weak.
She stared at the ravaged landscape below, crisscrossed with wounds as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated.
She couldn't comprehend how a boy her age could wield such terrifying power!
Her sister, Kaga Mimiko, standing beside her, felt a bitter taste fill her mouth, a deep sense of dread washing over her.
She had recklessly wanted to confront Ye Ran, how stupid! It was a death wish!
If it weren't for Summeri-sama grabbing me in time...
I, I might already be...
‘Good, good, good!’
Unlike the pale-faced sisters, Summeri Jie, at this moment, seemed like a treasure hunter who had unearthed a rare, priceless gem, his eyes filled with excitement.
“Ye Ran-kun, you truly continue to amaze me.”
“Next time we meet, if you can embrace my ideals, join our friendly family, and work together for the ‘greater good,’ then it would truly be perfect!”

【(Weird City·Demonic Tale - Chapter One Cleared), Completion Reward: Sacred Crystal Stones*5, Five-Star Special Commemorative Costume - God Slayer*1】
【Congratulations, Host, for the first time killing “Ki-Tze Mother God,” Reward: 30 Sacred Crystal Stones, Concept Costume “Assimilation” automatically breaks through to One Break. 】
【Detecting the evil remnant of the grotesque creature “Ki-Tze Mother God” - “蛮神的心脏”, automatically collected into Personal Space. 】
.......
【Five-Star Special Commemorative Costume·God Slayer】
Introduction: Bathed in fire and sword, the boy and the evil deity clashed here.
The steel rain that fell from the mountain forests, dyed the Eastern sky.
【Costume Effect】: When you possess this Costume, there is a 50% chance that you will randomly obtain one of the powers from the “Deity” or “Deity-like beings” through hunting them.
.......
【Five-Star Special Commemorative Costume·God Slayer】, was the first Five-Star Costume Ye Ran obtained.
The effect of this Costume was quite powerful.
It was possible to obtain powers from deities by hunting them......
Although only a 50% chance, it had the potential to reach full break.
Not only that, in this battle, he also obtained an item with the same name as the game material - 【蛮神的心脏】.
【蛮神的心脏·Item Description】: The heart of a savage sub-deity. Though called a sub-deity, it is still a deity. It releases a large amount of curses as it beats.
“What can this thing do?”
Looking at the purple heart in his personal space, emitting a thick, rotten, and decaying aura, still pulsating, Ye Ran raised an eyebrow.
“Can’t it make my skills full break?”
Remembering the days of frantically grinding for materials in the game, Ye Ran twitched his mouth.
But the next second, the information flow sent by the system froze his smile.
【Note: This item is a necessary material for forging a divine weapon. 】
“It's a necessary material for forging a divine weapon?”
Seeing these words, the boy froze for a moment, then a burst of intense joy surged across his face.
The so-called 【Divine Weapon】, in the Nasuverse, refers to objects that were not manufactured by human hands, but rather defined by deities, or conceptual armaments created by beings capable of rivaling deities.
These weapons, most of which were extremely rare even in the age of profound mystery, possessed immense power.
For example, the “Excalibur” wielded by King Arthur - Artoria Pendragon, was a divine weapon forged by stars.
Similarly, the most famous treasure of a certain well-known lamp king - “天地乖离开辟之星”, was also one such weapon.
The greatest characteristic of these unique divine weapons was their formidable power beyond human reach, which even “Infinite Swordsmanship” could not replicate.
To forge a god-exclusive divine weapon..... Ye Ran needed not only a three-star Costume called 【Divine Weapon】, but also divine material.
The final conditions for completion were extremely complex and troublesome.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the 【Divine Weapon】 Costume at the moment.
For now, he could only reluctantly stash away the “蛮神的心脏”.
This time, clearing the first chapter of “Demonic Tale” earned the boy a total of 35 Sacred Crystal Stones as a reward.
Adding the 5 he received from obtaining the Special Grade Cursed Item - “Cursed Magic Ring,” the 8 from slaying the “Ox-Head Demon,” and all his remaining stock combined.......he now had a total of 53 Sacred Crystal Stones!
“Unfortunately, it's still 7 Sacred Crystal Stones short of two 10-pulls.”
A small sense of regret filled his heart.
But killing the Ki-Tze Mother God was already a huge profit, there was no need to be so picky.
“.......Every time I come out with you, it redefines my worldview.”
After a long silence.
Miasaki Nari finally recovered from the shocking scene before her.
Her eyes, a mix of blue and red, were filled with complexity.
This guy is becoming more and more mysterious.
He was able to calmly subdue such a dangerous curse spirit alone.
“Then you should be careful, these things are going to pop up more and more often.”
Ye Ran shrugged, making a little joke, successfully making the girl roll her eyes.
“Ye Ran-ni, can you go to the temple and bring out the statue of the Ki-Tze Mother God? Mmm... I can't carry it by myself.”
Houzuki Yayo, standing beside him, pleaded with a wrinkled face.
Even after her “abnormal” transformation, her strength was comparable to an adult.
But she could not lift the statue’s remains, weighing over a hundred kilograms, by herself.
Miasaki Nari touched the little girl's head, and with a sense of agreement, added,
“It’s all because you smashed all the form-substitute targets that she wanted to capture, so help the child out.”
