16. Wanbao Hammer

"God's grace"

This is the greatest blessing brought by the gods after they descend to the mortal realm.

The blood of the gods can be used to bestow blessings upon the people of the lower realm.

Those who receive favors,

Its back will be engraved with "sacred script," recording everything about itself.

Whether it's defeating monsters or accomplishing great deeds,

All accumulated "experience points" will be converted into strength.

This is the source of the adventurer's power.

The two followed the goddess Astraea to her room.

A soft carpet, neatly arranged books, and several potted plants blooming on the windowsill.

The room was not luxuriously furnished; it didn't resemble the magnificent residence of a deity, but rather the boudoir of a gentle wife.

"Is this the room of the Goddess of Justice?"

"And I'm about to become an adventurer? Won't Lord Lynn and Goddess Astrea disappoint me?"

Chunji clutched the hem of her dress tightly, her head bowed, afraid to look around, lest she offend the goddess Astrea.

Astraea smiled gently and patted Haruhime's shoulder lightly.

"Don't be nervous, child. The process is very simple and there will be no pain."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lynn.

"Lynn, could you please wait outside for a moment? I'd like to complete the ritual for Chunji first, so she can feel at ease."

Lynn nodded.

She truly lives up to her reputation as the goddess of justice. After spending two days with her, Lynn sees her as the epitome of justice and kindness.

Lynn left the room and considerately closed the door for them.

However, when he turned around, he was stunned.

In the corridor, all the members of the Astrea Familia, led by Alyssa, had arrived.

"You guys..." Lynn sighed, feeling somewhat speechless. "This is the entrance to the goddess's room. Isn't it inappropriate for so many of you to be gathered here?"

"Ahem!" Alexie cleared her throat, put her hands on her hips, and struck a righteous pose.

"Lynn, don't misunderstand!"

"We're just concerned about our new partners, and that's the most righteous thing to do!"

“That’s right, that’s right!” Lyra jumped out from behind Alexie and nodded vigorously in agreement. “Caring for our comrades is the most basic justice of our Astrea Familia!”

“What’s wrong with that?” Ishka tossed her long hair and said matter-of-factly, “We are witnessing the birth of a new member. It’s a sacred ceremony. Witnessing it together makes it seem very solemn.”

“Yes, we’re just expressing our welcome,” Aste, Maru, and the others nodded in agreement.

Alexie patted Lynn's shoulder hard. "Besides, we're just concerned about you! In case your ability is too low, we want to find a way to comfort you in advance."

"Come on! I think you guys are just here for the show," Lynn said bluntly.

“How can you call it watching a spectacle?” Alicia retorted immediately. “This is a group activity! It’s to strengthen the bonds between members of the clan!”

Lynn's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Kaguya at the very back.

"Kaguya, are you here to show concern for me too? Are you here to deepen our relationship as well?"

"Who...who cares about you!"

Kaguya's eyes darted away. "I'm different from them. I just... went back to my room, and then... passed by!"

"Just passing by?"

Lynn smirked and deliberately raised her voice;

"I thought this was what you cared about most! After all, once I accept the goddess's blessing, there will be no obstacles to our wedding."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Kaguya's cheeks flushed instantly. She strode up to Lynn and snapped in a low voice, "This is just a ceremony to join a familia. It has nothing to do with what you're talking about!"

"Oh!"

Niz and Ishka immediately started yelling and jeering.

"Kaguya, how could it be nothing!"

"Exactly, exactly! You two look quite well-matched standing together!"

"you!"

Kaguya was so angry that she couldn't speak, and could only glare fiercely at Lynn.

Lynn smiled nonchalantly and even moved closer.

"You see, everyone thinks so."

"Kaguya, don't be shy, we're family from now on."

"Who says we're family!"

Kaguya was furious and embarrassed, and reached out to push him, but Lynn grabbed her wrist first.

Before Kaguya could even struggle,

Liu, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly spoke up softly.

"Kaguya, you two are really a good match."

"Silly elf, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Kaguya tried to shake off Lynn's hand.

Lynn, however, prevented Kaguya from succeeding and shook the wrist he was holding.

at this time,

The door to the goddess's room creaked open.

Chunji came out, her head down, her hands adjusting her clothes, a faint blush still on her cheeks.

Upon seeing Haruhime emerge, Captain Alisha immediately went to greet her and asked curiously:

"How was it? Did you awaken any powerful abilities?"

All eyes were focused on Chun Ji, making her even more nervous.

"me……"

Chunji whispered, "My magic is called 'Mega Hammer'..."

"The Wanbao Hammer?"

Alexie scratched her head, looking puzzled. "Judging from the name, could it be a skill related to forging?"

"Hammer? I guess it's an attack skill?" Iska guessed as well.

Wanbao Hammer?

Upon hearing that familiar name, Lynn knew he hadn't made a mistake.

Chun Ji awakened this incredibly powerful support skill.

Listening to these people's guesses, which were completely off the mark...

Lynn then released Kaguya's hand and explained to Haruhime, "This is a very powerful magic."

"It can forcibly elevate a person to a higher energy level in a short period of time."

"As Chunji's LV level increases, the duration of her effect will also increase."

Upgrade to the next level?

In Orario, rank represents absolute combat power.

The higher the level, the stronger the character.

Examples of defeating an opponent who is of a higher level are virtually nonexistent.

But Haruhime's magic can... artificially and temporarily break this ironclad rule!

"Is...is this real?"

Alisha looked at Haruhime excitedly, her eyes filled with unbelievable ecstasy.

"To...to turn me from LV3 into LV4?"

"Oh my God……"

The healer, Maru, covered her mouth; she knew better than anyone what a level increase meant in dire circumstances.

That means they were able to pull the entire team back from the brink of death!

"From a statistical point of view, the very existence of this ability has already disrupted the balance."

Celty's gaze behind her glasses remained calm, but her slightly trembling lips betrayed her inner surprise.

"This is no longer a skill or magic; it's simply... a miracle!"

"That's too strong! That's too strong!"

"Having this auxiliary ability will greatly enhance our strength."

Iska and Leyana exchanged a glance, both seeing a burning flame in each other's eyes.

Imagine if you suddenly leveled up Alexei or Kaguya to LV4.
