Taking a few steps forward, like a curious visitor, Vivian approached Roer's corpse.

A strong smell of blood assailed her nostrils.

Yet, Vivian didn't even bat an eye.

The girl slightly lifted her left leg.

Then, the young girl stepped on the already bloody, headless corpse with her toes, nudging it back and forth as if examining a piece of art.

"Strange, when did she become so capable?" Vivian looked down at the gruesome wounds on the corpse, her brow furrowed in surprise.

In her memory, she should still be a frail village girl.

But clearly, such injuries were not something an ordinary villager could inflict.

"Huh?"

"What is this?"

Vivian suddenly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, two incredibly dazzling, azure energy orbs had condensed between her hands at extreme speed.

"This... is magic?" Vivian's face instantly showed disbelief.

But soon, this expression turned into a smile, an unconcealable madness and joy.

"Go!"

The girl casually tossed the magic orbs in her palms upwards. The massive energy shot into the sky in the blink of an eye, and after a moment, it split into countless light spheres.

Just as Big Watermelon and Melee God of Magic on the ground were completely bewildered, unsure of what Vivian was doing, the next moment's events made their jaws drop.

Plop!

A flying monster from the sky fell, hitting the ground. A terrifying, piercing hole could be seen in its abdomen.

Immediately after, the sound began to ring out like raindrops.

Plop! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Countless monster corpses rained down. Some were on treetops, some were in the sky, but without exception, the commonality was that each had a large hole pierced by magic.

A first-tier basic skill for all spellcaster classes - Magic Missile.

The in-game description stated that at max level, it could fire up to five missiles to attack enemies at once, but right now...

Melee God of Magic and Big Watermelon exchanged glances.

A magic... magic machine gun?

While outsiders watched the spectacle, insiders saw the skill. Little wolf cub Liao Zixuan's mood was a mix of pleasant surprise and solemnity.

He was surprised that Vivian could achieve this, indicating that the girl's control over magic had reached an incredible height.

One had to know that before, Vivian had powerful magic but didn't know how to use it. Take Magic Missile for example; the original girl could probably control ten missiles at most simultaneously, but the Vivian now could control ten times that number!

Ten times!

What a terrifying concept!

However, if that was terrifying, then the other thing that made Liao Zixuan feel solemn could be described as horrifying.

That is...

"This..." Vivian.

"I still feel like something's missing..." Vivian still seemed unsatisfied with her results, and the young girl finally began to shift her gaze to her surroundings.

The first ones the girl targeted were the players Big Watermelon and Melee God of Magic.

Oh, to be precise, it was...

The weapons they were holding.

"Sorry, just borrowing it." Vivian's perfunctory voice sounded in Melee God of Magic's ear. Before he could react, he felt his hand go empty.

Following closely behind was the system prompt.

[You have lost ownership of "Withered Wood Staff (Fine Grade)"]

Holy crap!

"So cool! Boss is awesome!"

"You want anything else from me? Just take whatever, Boss!" Melee God of Magic was about to curse, but a glance from Vivian made him swallow his words and immediately change his tune.

After equipping the "Withered Wood Staff," Vivian tried swinging it a few times but still seemed unsatisfied, feeling something was off.

Then, the girl's gaze fell upon another Fine Grade weapon that Big Watermelon was about to secretly hide and put back into his "backpack."

[Blood Scythe]

Swish!

Big Watermelon felt Vivian's gaze instantly light up, and his heart twitched.

Alright.

Having learned from Melee God of Magic's previous experience, Big Watermelon also learned his lesson. He didn't wait for Vivian to snatch, oh no, borrow, it; he handed it over himself.

"Miss Vivian, since you like it so much, I'll give it to you. Give it to you." Big Watermelon's heart was bleeding. This was a "Fine Grade" weapon! But before he could finish speaking, the weapon disappeared from his hand.

[You have lost ownership of "Blood Scythe (Fine Grade)"]

The scythe, which had seemed ordinary in his hands before, now rested in Vivian's grasp. The moment the girl took it, it was as if it had come alive.

The little girl played with it, unable to put it down. It was clear that compared to the staff, Vivian was now more fond of the scythe and melee combat.

Hum!

With a casual swing forward, the scythe flashed, and an ancient tree in front of the girl was cut in half from the middle, crashing down and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The little wolf cub narrowed its eyes. Although Liao Zixuan didn't show it on the surface, he was deeply shocked internally.

Because he could clearly sense that Vivian's slash just now...

There were no magic fluctuations whatsoever!

This meant...

The Vivian before him had accomplished that feat with the pure physique of an ordinary villager!

This...

How was that possible! It completely defied common sense and was unimaginable!

Liao Zixuan's only explanation was skill – how to channel all one's strength to a single point, how to find the weakest part of the tree trunk, how to swing the scythe most effectively...

Without exaggeration.

In Liao Zixuan's understanding, there were very few in the world of "Fall of the Gods" who could do all of this simultaneously!

Finally.

As if she had experienced enough of her new body, or perhaps she was annoyed by the little black wolf quietly observing her the entire time.

Vivian put away the scythe and walked step by step towards Liao Zixuan.

"You are dangerous." The girl, for the first time, frowned deeply, her voice filled with caution.

But soon, Vivian's frown eased. Her gaze became aggressive as she stared intently at the little wolf cub on the ground before her.

"But she... that person, seems to have an inexplicable trust and closeness towards you."

"So you are her... summoned beast?"

The Vivian before him curiously inquired of Liao Zixuan.

But Liao Zixuan didn't answer. Instead, he seriously asked the girl a question.

"Who are you?"

"Me?" Vivian tilted her head, seemingly stumped by Liao Zixuan's question.

After a few seconds of apparent thought, the girl seemed to have figured it out, or perhaps she couldn't be bothered to think and gave up. She let out a bell-like laugh.

"Hehehehe..."

"I am Vivian, Vivian is me, she is another me, and I am another her."
