This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 971 - 458

"What is this?" the Blood Emperor asked curiously as he examined the stone within the box, only to find it appeared indistinguishable from an ordinary pebble found everywhere.

"This is an Authority Stone. As the name suggests, it grants those of the Divine Race without the authority of gods the power of authority," someone explained.

The Son of Heaven said, "In the Titan world, the natural evolutionary limit of the Divine Race is the Nine Stars, and for a Titan at the peak of the Nine Stars to break through to the Ten Stars, to become a true deity, they must first merge with this thing to gain the divine authority, which provides the foundation for becoming a god." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Besides, it can also be used on us. Although it cannot make us into gods directly, it can be used during the merging with a Divine Bone to transform an ordinary Titan’s Divine Bone into a Divine Bone with a random authority."

"I’m not certain where this stone comes from, but it is extremely rare. For a Titan, each Authority Stone represents hope for ascension to godhood; it is something any Titan would go mad for."

"Now, the moment I open this box, those Titans will absolutely be unable to resist the lure of this stone—even if they are fully aware that this is a trap, they will still step right into it."

"You... sure have a lot of good stuff..."

The Blood Emperor looked at the Son of Heaven with a strange expression, noting how he casually pulled out Divine Artifacts and Authority Stones as if they were nothing; he was simply too wealthy...

Upon hearing this, the Son of Heaven gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "I’m not that capable. This stone is a treasured heirloom that has been passed down through generations in my family."

"Family?"

"Yes, one of my ancestors seems to have been one of the Fools who fled back from the Titan world. So, some things brought back from there, including information about Sky City, are known to us from the little my ancestor left behind."

"Of course, the matter of the stone is top secret because once exposed to the air, it’s highly likely to attract Titans. My ancestor left no information about it, and it was only after I entered the Titan world that I understood what it was," the Son of Heaven said.

"I see..."

After listening, the Blood Emperor couldn’t help but sigh. This stone was clearly what the Son of Heaven intended to use when fusing with a Divine Bone later. With the Divine Artifact and Authority Stone prepared, all he needed was to hunt down a Titan, and he would immediately possess an incredibly powerful Divine Skin.

It was unfortunate that, in order to save Earth, he had chosen to sacrifice both treasures, and even his life...

Thinking this, the Blood Emperor suddenly looked solemnly at the Son of Heaven, "I previously said ’you’re a hypocrite,’ but now, I take my words back. You’re not a hypocrite; you are a true hero, a hero worthy of everyone’s respect!"

Taken aback, the Son of Heaven looked at the Blood Emperor but just offered a wry smile and shook his head, "I’m not as noble as you make it sound. To tell you the truth, I’m also struggling terribly inside... A voice in my head keeps asking me why I’m sacrificing everything to save so many strangers. Will anyone remember my sacrifice? What’s the point of all this..."

As the Son of Heaven mumbled to himself, he placed his hand on the box, slowly and gradually releasing the seals on it.

"...so, before I change my mind... get out of here, and far away at that. And remember to warn the others, no one should come near this place after this..."

With the final seal undone on the box containing the Authority Stone,

thousands of kilometers away from the Son of Heaven, atop the sea where several Titans were scattered about, busy searching for an exit, they all stopped in their tracks, instantly turning to look back simultaneously.

Sensing the odd aura emanating from a distance, each Titan uncontrollably reddened their eyes and became extremely agitated.

Then, with a roar, all the Titans took off at once, rushing back towards the place where the Black Hole once was.
