I'm not just human!

"This place... used to be a relatively prosperous small life-bearing planet, inhabited by the six-armed race among the demi-humans. However, it experienced a world-destroying war."

One of the gentle-looking adventurers wiped the sweat from his brow, shook off the dirt and bone fragments from his brown beard, and gave a harmless smile before continuing:

"It should be a battle between two extraordinary monarchs, or even possibly veteran extraordinary monarchs. For some reason, they fought fiercely, and the aftershocks of the battle alone destroyed all the civilization and buildings established by the six-armed race on this small life-bearing planet."

Another hunched and sleazy adventurer gave a sinister smile:

"Who cares? Tens of thousands of years have passed, they're probably all dead by now, and the treasure they fought over should belong to the two of us, haha."

As he was talking, he dug with his hoe, and there was a dull "clang," as if he had hit something extremely hard.

The short, scrawny adventurer's eyes suddenly lit up, and with another stroke of his hoe, this time he swept away the surrounding dirt.

A vault wall, crafted from a mixture of iron and mithril, appeared before the two adventurers. It was covered with ancient and mysterious patterns, as if it existed since the beginning of time.

The short, sleazy adventurer gave another sinister smile:

"We've finally found it! It's truly a case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits! Second brother, we're both rich now! With this money, I can finally propose to that noble lady from the Greer family—"

boom! ! !

Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out.

The gentle-looking adventurer withdrew the Shadow Gold Revolver he had been holding to his younger brother's head, watching as his brother, with a large hole in his head, collapsed and his head slammed heavily against the vault wall with a loud bang.

Then I watched as he slid down, leaving a long trail of blood mixed with brain matter on the wall.

"I only have one Soul-Destroying Bullet left. Using it on you wouldn't be a waste, would it, my dear brother..."

The adventurer smiled, his expression relaxed, but his gaze slowly turned fervent, as if he had thought of something:

"With this money...with this money, I can try to buy a fiefdom and become a lord, acquire enough anchor points, then sign a secret contract and become an angel..."

His expression grew increasingly fanatical. He raised the hoe and began hammering and smashing the wall. Finally, his hard work paid off, and he hammered deeper and deeper into the metal wall, about to break through it.

With an expression of extreme excitement on his face, he brought down the hoe for the last time.

when!

Countless streams of black energy surged out from it, and even the Holy Light Exorcism Bottle he wore as a defense was of no use.

The black mist seemed to contain countless ghostly heads, which instantly engulfed him before roaring out of the tunnel and rushing towards the sky.

Only a withered skeleton remained, its face filled with extreme resentment, lying on the nearby rock wall.

Perhaps because he was a demigod, even in his last moments before death, he was still able to forcefully turn his neck and look at the vault with longing.

Inside the vault, there were vouchers piled up everywhere from the Gold Prospectors' Guild and the Secret Traders' Guild, with the lowest denomination being 500,000 gold pounds.

There were countless treasures and sealed artifacts piled up everywhere, with all sorts of extraordinary fruits and metals scattered around.

But even these treasures deserve to be just piled up on the ground like this.

In the very center of the vault was a circular frame made of gray tin, inlaid with yellow gemstones, and engraved with cryptic runes in mithril and shadow gold.

This is a method to prevent divination and prying into secrets, and in the very center of that shelf, there is only one thing.

A treasure map made of black animal hide.

Below the circular shelf are the skeletons of two demi-humans with six arms each.

The lower half of the skeleton on the left was missing, while the second hand of the upper half held a poisoned blade, which was inserted into the vest of the skeleton on the right.

The skeleton on the right reached out, trying to reach the treasure map, but seemed to have been killed by a deadly poison at the last moment.

Even after tens of thousands of years, their remains showed no signs of decay; one was as white as jade, and the other emitted a shimmering green light.

To have reached this level... these are actually two veteran extraordinary monarchs!

Originally, the treasure map seemed to be sealed inside this vault, and the gray tin-based frame, designed to prevent divination and prying, restricted all means of searching.

But as the adventurer knocked open the vault and the seal was broken, the treasure map trembled slightly, as if it had sensed some kind of call, and burst out with an extremely viscous and dense black light!

The next moment, the treasure map floated up automatically without any wind, and instantly disappeared into the Star Spirit Realm, heading to an unknown distance.

……

In the City of Ten Thousand Stars, in the Fishermen's District, within a newly opened subspace.

In the bedroom, Xia Fa stared in disbelief at the opening of a rift in the Star Spirit Realm.

Then, a treasure map made of black animal hide flew out and flew towards the fused treasure map in his hand.

This newly appeared treasure map only had a sliver of black light left on it, as if it was about to exhaust its last bit of strength.

However, in the end, it still merged with the treasure map.

Then, in the lower left corner of this fused treasure map, a treasure chest pattern slowly emerged.

Whoosh—!

The moment the treasure chest pattern fully appeared, an extremely dense and viscous black light shone brightly, condensing into a beam of light like a twisted rope, and rushed towards Xia Fa's brow.

Xia Fa instinctively wanted to dodge, but suddenly, the shark tooth folding knife that had been hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly, and the steel ball in the hollow cavity of the back of the knife vibrated rapidly, emitting an extremely joyful sound.

It seems that this treasure map, this dark light... are all closely related to it!

Xia Fa had always wanted to know whether his horse-slaying sword was a sealed object or a secret treasure, and if it was a secret treasure, what level of secret treasure it was.

He once guessed that the Zhanmadao (horse-slaying sword) was slightly better than the external mystical treasures, but far inferior to the orthodox mystical treasures.

And now, the truth... seems to be about to be revealed.

It's hidden in this treasure map that we've finally collected!

call out!

The dark light pierced into Xia Fa's brow, and Xia Fa was suddenly jolted. Countless images exploded in his mind like fireworks, allowing him to see a great many things in an instant.

Those taboos and secrets from ancient times...

……

The desolate and lonely universe stretches endlessly, seemingly without end.

Countless stars and planets stretch from one region to another, eventually reaching into the distant horizon, transforming into dazzling points of light that have been radiating light for billions of years.

Suddenly, the entire starry sky seemed to tremble.

[A colossal figure with twelve arms stumbled out of the Protoss Realm, desperately fleeing towards the edge of the universe.]

[His size... was comparable to a supermassive star, his body was surrounded by swirling mercury, and his body was covered with extremely strange magical patterns and ancient runes. Each of his six arms, whether on the left or the right, held a horse-slaying sword.]

These two horse-slaying swords were unbelievably large; the diameter of the blades alone was comparable to that of a planet.

Both swords were also coated in mercury, radiating an astonishing killing intent; even a small planet would shatter into pieces the moment it grazed them.

[And so, this figure with twelve arms, wielding two broadswords, recklessly cleaved through the void, fleeing for his life.]

But it was too late.

The entire universe seemed to tremble, and above His head, a rift opened in the Protoss Realm.

A massive, silvery-white metallic hand, almost obscuring the entire star field, pressed down upon Him with the cold indifference of the heavens.

The silvery-white metallic hand was so large it was practically impossible to estimate. Under its cover, not only was the twelve-armed figure engulfed, but countless planets in this star field, from supermassive stars to the smallest planets, were also contained within it.

Fortunately, it seems that all life in this star field had been evacuated long ago, and it is now completely silent. Even if it is completely destroyed, no one will be injured or killed.

[Except for that figure with twelve arms]

The silvery-white metallic hand swept down with a whooshing sound, shattering countless stars and planets beneath its grasp, leaving them as fragile as red-hot glass spheres.

Finally, the enormous, silvery-white metallic hand, large enough to cover an entire star field, approached the top of the figure with twelve arms.

This figure seemed to be in utter despair, yet unwilling to simply sit and wait for death.

Suddenly, He raised His head and roared in extreme anger, but with a deep sense of despair. Each of His twelve arms gripped one of the two sabers tightly, aiming at the giant silver-white metal hand above His head, which seemed like the heavens to Him.

The mercury on his body began to boil, bubbling and steaming, before converging towards the two swords.

【call out!】

The figure with twelve arms suddenly leaped up, all twelve arms simultaneously gathering power, and the saber followed with incredibly sharp speed, as if trying to break through the sky-covering, silvery-white giant hand and escape.

At the same time, countless black lines emerged from the void around Him, freezing this cosmic expanse and making its colors even more vibrant.

The shattered planetary fragments around him, under the strange fluctuations emanating from his body, suddenly began to decrease in dimension by several times, shrinking from three dimensions to one, leaving only a bunch of thin lines.

[Immediately afterwards, the space of trillions of square kilometers seemed to be crumpled into a ball of paper by an invisible hand. He was in this crumpled paper, trying to use this unfathomable high-dimensional power, together with his strike, to break through the infinitely large silver-white metal giant hand.]

But it was all in vain.

The massive, silvery-white metallic hand pressed down, cold and ruthless, like a god overlooking the universe.

The twelve-armed figure was instantly shattered into pieces, and the two sabers in its hands, under immense force, transformed into two streaks of dark light, flying towards other star systems.

Blood splattered from these fragments, as if a torrential rain was about to fall on this star field, but immediately the fragments and blood began to one-dimensionalize, attempting to escape into the Protoss Realm.

But it was no use. The giant, silvery-white metal hand grabbed three orbs of light and a transparent shadow with twelve arms, and they shrank back into the Star Spirit Realm rift.

[Only these fragments and blood remained, flying to life-bearing planets throughout the universe, merging with countless extraordinary plants and fruits.]

[From within the fragments, secret contracts began to form, which then detached, skin or bone intact, and fell to various distant parts of the universe.]

"Sudden Law? Sudden Law?"

The moment the scene ended, Benedict’s concerned and worried voice rang in my ears.

"Master, are you alright?"

Immediately afterwards, the hem of his clothes seemed to sway, as if Nyakoru was tugging at his clothes, trying to wake him up.

Xia Fa was only slightly startled, then immediately clutched his head and collapsed onto the sofa, curling his body into a shrimp shape, gritting his teeth, and countless beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The physical flesh of the wall of blood and flesh in his stomach was quickly digested into a vast and pure supernatural power, which was injected into his spine and immediately converted into a strange electric current, replenishing his depleted mental energy and suppressing the signs that he was about to lose control.

It took Xia Fa a while to catch his breath. While still shaken, he also felt an immense excitement at having uncovered the secrets of the true gods and the Great Old Ones.

If he wasn't mistaken, he had just witnessed the final scene of the True God [Absolute Defense] chasing down the Ancient One [Rhine Calamity].

Because both the giant silver-white metal hand and the figure with twelve arms bear the characteristics of the "Silver Throne," and they are very obvious and easy to guess.

To Xia Fa's surprise, [Absolute Defense] was countless times stronger than he had imagined! It easily ended [Rhine Calamity] simply by extending a single hand from the Protoss Realm.

On the contrary, [Rhine Calamity], whose title clearly indicates it is an extremely powerful being among the Great Old Ones, still couldn't withstand the crushing force of a giant silver-white metal hand that was covered by [Absolute Defense], even after using all its trump cards.

Whether it was the Rhine Calamity using a god-like combat tactic that was almost "anti-realistic," reducing the dimensions of everything around it from three dimensions to one, or even the slash launched from a space folded over trillions of miles... none of it had any effect whatsoever.
