Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'-Chapter 1240 - 246: Empire Line (41)

Redd crossed his legs, speaking casually:

"You guys should forget it. Most of you are under 'Charlgarnia's' mandate, but Arthur is different. Arthur's strength comes from that sword... you can't see through my identity."

The Angels exchanged glances. Angel Lancelot spoke:

"Goddess, what worries us is that sword."

"Exactly."

Angel Gao Wen followed, saying:

"Having Arthur handle this is somewhat risky. In the Border Abyss, no one can unleash their full power. If anything happens to that sword, Arthur would be rendered useless."

"It's not that we don't trust His Majesty Arthur, but that sword, even for you, Goddess, is not something easily obtained," Angel Tristan reminded.

"Even though the secret of that sword is still not fully unraveled, it allowed Arthur to become a king from a mortal, battling the nine Angels in a series of duels until he was exhausted and ultimately fell due to the exhaustion of his lifespan, so you could transform him into an Angel."

Ranmalock maintained a trace of apprehension while speaking about the sword:

"After all these years, even Arthur himself cannot explain what abilities that nameless sword possesses, but it enables him to be invincible."

Percival said:

"It's just a demon sword."

"Your worries are truly laughable. It's just a sword. If it's lost, it's lost."

Redd said blandly:

"Faith belongs to the Deities; taxes belong to the Emperor, and all the rest belong to me. If Leoz really defeated Arthur, there's nothing magical about it. He should have that strength. As for the sword... well, I must admit, even after all these years, I haven't figured out its essence, but regardless, it's just a weapon."

"Goddess, even you can't figure out that sword?"

"It's not that I have no clue; I can vaguely sense its materials—a quarter of the materials are Stellar Steel, a six-pound Behemoth's Fang from Vera Verus, many spacetime peptides, a small spoonful of Dimensional Scorpion Carapace, and most importantly, 15 grams of Ultra Pure Prime Soil."

Redd paused for a moment and said: 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Primordial Soil itself is extraordinary. It has a strong cohesive and catalytic function, capable of binding various substances together, while Ultra Pure Prime Soil has the opposite nature—it breaks down everything. It's entirely designed as an assassin weapon against [Society]."

"Its origins can be traced back to the early stages of the War Beyond the Abyss. On Dumfis's gauntlets, the God of Destruction, there are two spikes made from Ultra Pure Prime Soil. Of course, this has no effect on non-[Society] beings; it merely makes the weapon indestructible. But after the War Beyond the Abyss, the Divine Clans beaten back to the Primordial Abyss don't have the capacity or resources to create such a thing."

"However, as far as I know, the refining technology for Ultra Pure Prime Soil can only be mastered by the upper echelon of the Primordial God Clan, and not by executors like Leoz. It must be a legitimate leader of the Starry Abyss Divine Race, like Lai Anding or Severston—especially Severston, who made Leoz's Stellar Sword for its original owner. So it's possible this sword was made by Severston."

"I once speculated that the sword belonged to a High-Rank Deity Military Governor from the early stages of the War Beyond the Abyss, but to my surprise, the results showed that the sword was made in the middle of the War Beyond the Abyss."

"Even more likely, this is not a Starry Abyss creation but a weapon crafted by someone on the [Society] side."

"But, why would the [Society] side create such a weapon against its kin?"

The Angels below were puzzled:

"Wouldn't doing so lead to exclusion by others of its kind?"

"This is actually very normal. Humans, besides the early invention of bows and spears to fight beasts and prey, made other tools—swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and even automatic rifles and nuclear bombs to kill each other."

Redd seemed indifferent:

"[Society] is essentially a group of beasts; mutual devouring is a daily norm. Only when the Secret Society, Outer Society, and High Court Society are in a stalemate do they temporarily stop devouring, not because of peace but to stand against one another. At the end of the day, beasts are beasts. These living civilizations don't truly submit to each other. Even Gaia has numerous opponents rebelling in secret."

"If we follow this line of thought, I can roughly deduce the intention behind creating that sword:"

"In the middle of the War Beyond the Abyss, severe and intense internal conflict and fighting erupted within [Society]. Large devoured small; small aimed at Parasites and Lurkers. Everyone was busy self-destructing. During this time, not even Leoz had risen to power, and the Destroyer was still in its heyday. Everyone lived amidst chaos and destruction."

"At that moment, perhaps some [Society] Speaker realized this couldn't continue. To prevent those powerful peers from finding it someday, it might choose to collaborate with Spiritual Warriors, obtaining Ultra Pure Prime Soil from them, and then focused the entire civilization's effort to gather materials, amalgamate energy, and forged this marvelous and mysterious Stellar Sword."

"But, Goddess, don't you find it strange? Most of [Society] consists of beast forms. Even the Speakers are humanoid in rare circumstances, and typically use their own organs and limbs as weapons. Crafting such a sword...it clearly seems made for the Starry Abyss Divine Race or even mortals."
