Way of Weapon Liberation
Loss of reputation?
Roger didn't even flinch!
Not to mention that this thing can be farmed anyway.
Compared to potential benefits.
The reputation loss is negligible! (See the data panel.)
"Duel Declaration: Your level of passion exceeds the base standard, and your potential gains have been increased. If you can successfully defeat Quinan now, you will receive 4 times the Extermination Order reward."
4 times the standard return.
This means 36 chances to draw the Extermination Order! And the opponent is none other than the former God of War Quinan.
They succeeded in one fell swoop.
Get rich overnight!
Normally.
Roger was probably already overjoyed.
But things are different now.
He is currently in a very special state.
Faced with such amazing potential benefits.
He only glanced at it casually.
It didn't stir up much emotion in my heart.
Because of this moment.
Roger's heart was filled with the burning flames of war! He had never been so eager to defeat anyone as he was at this moment!
Especially when Quinan accused Mystra.
Every word He uttered.
To Roger, it all sounded so jarring.
So...
Irresponsible!
Perhaps the former Quenan was a respectable God of War.
He bore far too much.
But these past achievements are never an excuse for decline!
"If someone's opinion changes, they change; why whine and complain like a wronged woman..."
This was Roger's simplest thought at the time.
certainly.
He also admitted that another reason for his hostility towards Qionan might be His attitude towards the planet—
Why should I?! After everything that's happened.
Does He still consider Quinan Star His private property? By what right! After attempting to Blood Sacrifice Quinan Star.
Does He still think He can arbitrarily control the people and plants on this planet?
And by what right? He can push all the responsibility onto Mystra or Xuan?
all in all.
Quinan's attitude infuriated Roger like never before.
His behavior deeply touched a nerve with Roger.
In fact.
He continued until he finished Duel Declaration in one breath.
He then realized that his inexplicable anger might be because he had already given too much to the Twin Stars! The title of Twin Stars Guardian.
To others, it may seem incredibly glamorous.
But only Roger himself knew.
How much effort he put in to protect the vast majority of people! And how many hardships he endured!
In such a harsh environment.
It's a miracle that the binary stars haven't experienced a massive population extinction event yet.
even so.
When faced with a blood sacrifice.
Roger could only resort to a roundabout strategy to salvage the situation.
All of this left Roger feeling exhausted.
He asked himself the same question.
If you choose to protect yourself from the beginning.
Given the power he possesses and the characteristics of the "Hidden Hero" template, then...
He has many ways to avoid trouble.
A life detached from the world! One can imagine that such a life would be much easier than it is now.
And after all that effort...
The former guardian suddenly appeared and claimed this was his planet? His words implied that he could do whatever he wanted with this land...
How could anyone not be angry?
"I must defeat Him!"
"Defeat Him fair and square!"
"Not for the reward, but for the sake of pride. It's time to let the gods know who's really in charge of the Twin Stars now!"
Roger harbored a deep resentment.
When it comes out in his demeanor, it becomes an overwhelming display of domineering power.
He just stared intently at Quinan.
The latter should not make any rash moves.
All of these would trigger Roger's fierce attacks! And in the face of Roger's "Duel Declaration".
Quinan also appeared very angry.
He looked at Roger with an incredulous gaze.
The rage in his eyes was as if his most private possession had been violated. "A mere mortal dares to call himself a guardian?"
"Your despicable actions have been seen by everyone..."
"And you yourself are an outright intruder and murderer!"
Before he could finish speaking...
Where the strange phenomenon of the War of the Gods was still replaying on the horizon, large swathes of 'snowy screens' suddenly appeared.
After the black and white flashed,
It has been brought back to the world's attention.
It was a scene depicting Roger transforming into Scavenger Armor, single-handedly destroying hundreds of thousands of lives on the Ancient Desolate Continent! Even more outrageous was...
The content 'played' by the anomaly was clearly skillfully edited.
Not a single frame of Roger's world-destroying scene was missed.
However, there is not a single scene showing him opening up the Sea God Realm and accepting souls!
Even Roger himself.
After watching those scenes in the vision, I almost thought I was a complete executioner.
Let alone ordinary people!
Almost immediately after the strange phenomenon occurred.
A red alert flashed on the data panel!...
"Warning: You have openly broken ties with the God of War Quinan, and your relationship with him is now hostile. Your reputation on Quinan Star has decreased by 200 points!"
"Warning: All inhabitants of Qionan witnessed your destruction of the world. Your reputation on Quinan Star has decreased by 200 points!..."
Some of the inhabitants of Mystra witnessed your destruction of the world; your reputation with Mystra has decreased by 100 points!...
A select few demons in Purgatory witnessed your world-destroying act; your reputation in Purgatory increases by 50 points!...
Several sealed World Ender, existing outside the mortal realm, witnessed your world-destroying process and exclaimed that you were an expert. They would like to invite you to share your experience. Do you agree to their request to team up with you?
agree...
"Bullshit! "Roger's expression was gloomy, but his mind was completely relaxed.
To be honest.
He didn't care about the slight loss of reputation.
He had expected it to drop even more—at least three or four hundred points—but the drop was much smaller than anticipated! This made Roger, who was already indifferent, even more reckless.
I'm going to publicly destroy the world! So what? It's a fact.
But whether those who saw the strange phenomenon believed it or not is another matter! The only thing that annoyed Roger was that old codger Quinan's imposing appearance.
I never expected them to be so adept at using underhanded tactics.
The speed and technique of this video editing.
You're a veteran self-media creator!
Roger possesses "Phenomenon Management".
They are also a very authoritative voice in their respective fields.
He could sense Quinan's skill.
This guy probably did this kind of smear campaign against his rivals quite a few times before...
"Does turning black into white also belong to the realm of the God of War?"
He couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
Quinan's expression turned somewhat grim.
Roger's reputation declined faster than he had anticipated.
Even more outrageous is...
Roger discovered that he had only lost a little reputation at the beginning.
After the strange phenomena finished playing.
The reputation that had plummeted actually began to rebound dramatically!
Mystra's reputation almost completely reversed the decline.
The quality of the quinan is somewhat inferior.
But overall, it only dropped by a few dozen points...
That's terrifying.
Let alone Quinan.
Even Roger himself was quite surprised.
Looking at the strange increase in reputation on the data panel.
Roger couldn't help but activate his Perception Authority.
My Sixth Sense is operating at supersonic speed.
I immediately captured a few related thoughts.
"Smear campaign! It must be a deliberate smear campaign. How could the Guardian possibly destroy the world? False phenomena, ptooey!"
"Even if the footage is real, the Guardian must have his reasons. Sigh, I feel so sorry for the Guardian..."
"If the Guardian wanted to destroy the world, then the Quinan Star would have been destroyed long ago. He would have no reason to go through all this trouble. Therefore, the one who destroyed the world is definitely not the Guardian, but some imposter!"
Similar sounds echoed in Roger's ears.
For a fleeting moment.
He was slightly touched.
Unexpectedly, many residents of Twin Stars had become so superstitious and blindly obedient to him! Roger didn't even offer an explanation.
They've already started making excuses for themselves.
You know what?
What many people imagine is actually the truth!
No wonder Quinan looked so pale.
For him.
The current situation is like a man who went on a business trip and came home to find that not only had his wife and children run off with someone else, but even the house belonged to that person!
"Look, this is the memory of a short-lived species..."
Quinan laughed in anger:
"I have protected this planet for countless ages, but they only remember the events of recent years..."
"Many years from now, they will do the same to you!"
"No, I misspoke. You don't have many years left..."
You are going to die right now!
His tone was extremely malicious.
His eyes looked like he wanted to devour someone.
Faced with all of this.
Roger simply weighed the Coiling Dragon Spear his hand once more:
"Let's fight!"
As he spoke.
He suddenly flew deep into the Ancient Desolate Continent! Kuinan followed with a cold smile.
Not long after.
The two ventured deep into the heart of the mainland.
For Roger...
Life here is almost extinct.
This is the best place to fight Qionan to the death! "Come!"
He was too lazy to say anything more.
All his fighting spirit was summed up in a single word.
Immediately afterwards.
The Slaughter Authority Rank has been awakened.
The chilling atmosphere spread outwards in all directions like a tidal wave.
It quickly enveloped the surrounding space!
Even Quinan is no exception!
"If you die in my territory, there's no way you can be resurrected..."
Roger coldly offered his suggestion.
Because he has the special skill "No Resurrection"! Of course.
He wasn't trying to be helpful by reminding Quinan.
Rather, it was a test to probe Quinan's capabilities in this area! The characteristics of the Slaughter Domain.
He believed that once he unfolded the document, he would know the answer.
All he wanted was a reaction from Quinan.
However, the latter just smiled dismissively.
He didn't say a word.
Abundant power surged in from all directions! The next second...
Quinan's body began to grow exponentially larger.
In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a towering giant!
He stood with his feet on the Ancient Desolate Continent.
It was as if a normal person's foot was stepping on a giant shield.
Its enormous size was even more exaggerated than the previous Abyss Guardian! It was one of its toes.
They all seem to have become a mountain peak! On the data panel.
"Warning: Quinan has invoked the ' Star Master Authority, and has begun to draw upon the power of Quinan Star..."
"Kuinan has activated his Celestial God Body!"
"Go to hell!"
A muffled sound slowly drifted from tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
The sound hasn't reached us yet.
Roger had already sensed it.
But a giant, sun-blocking foot had already stomped down hard before that!
It looks like they're going to stomp Roger into mincemeat!
In an instant.
Roger's figure darted back and forth across the continent like lightning!...
Specialty: Flying Through Sky and Earth!...
"Celestial God Body?"
"Let's test its quality first..."
Thinking this way.
Roger hardened his heart.
The next second.
He shed all of his "Tyrant Aura".
Then he slowly aimed his right hand at the towering, earth-shaking giant god!
"Floating Cloud Palm!"
Roger shouted firmly in his heart.
This time.
It's not the "Floating Cloud Palm" technique of Master Qu Feng.
It was Roger's own Floating Cloud Palm!
However, it was under the influence of the Tyrant Aura.
This Cloud Floating Cloud Palm was equivalent to a Celestial God-level attack! In the blink of an eye...
The giant foot had not yet landed.
A larger shadow fell rapidly from beyond the starry sky.
Quinan seemed to sense something.
He looked up, somewhat bewildered.
But all I saw was a familiar giant hand! I wonder if the Qu Feng had given me a trauma.
He suddenly took a half step back! Boom! The Floating Cloud Palm struck down fiercely.
The scene Roger envisioned—a thunderbolt striking the earth—did not occur.
The giant hand slapped Quinan's forehead as if it were tofu.
The outer halo surrounding the Celestial God Body shattered instantly!
Immediately afterwards.
It was the rest of His body! Not a single groan escaped His lips.
The Floating Cloud Palm strikes all the way down! At that moment...
The Ancient Desolate Continent trembled violently.
It sank slightly by a few meters! Fortunately, the battle between the two sides did not take place in the Celestial God Universe.
But it still adhered to the principle of "renouncing worldly affairs".
Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just sinking a few meters.
This slap landed.
The entire continent may be reduced to ashes!
At that time.
The aftershocks lingered for a long time.
Roger stared in surprise at the spot where the Celestial God-level Floating Cloud Palm had landed—
He couldn't sense any sign of life! Where was Quinan? Where had He gone? Just as Roger was cautiously searching for Quinan's whereabouts...
The data bar started jumping wildly!...
"Notification: You have killed Quinan (Transformed Ecology/LV186/ God of War's Authority/Quasi-God...)"
"Extermination Order: You have been granted 36 draw chances. Draw now?"
"What?!"
"Quinan is dead just like that?"
Roger didn't believe it! He instinctively sensed something was wrong.
So they immediately began to review the battle logs! Very quickly.
His throat was dry as he found these two records!...
"Log: You are using the Floating Cloud Palm to attack Kuinan. Kuinan has canceled the protection of the Celestial God Body and the Quinan Star..."
"Log: Quinan took half a step back and left your ' Slaughter Domain '..."
"Cancel proactively?"
"Resurrection after death?"
What exactly does He want to do?
Suddenly.
Roger seemed to realize something.
He frantically scrolled up the record bar.
final.
He found a rather unremarkable piece of data—
He swore he saw it!
But somehow...
Roger seemed to subconsciously ignore this record! It happened when Qinnan was beating Mystra in a frenzied manner!...
"Log: Quinan used the Warrior's signature skill on you—Taunt (blessed by the Authority of the God of War)!..."
You have been angered by Quinan.
You harbored murderous intent towards Him...
"A masterful form of mockery?"
Roger's heart tightened.
What followed was helplessness and confusion.
Unfortunately, it was because they had been outmaneuvered by Quinan.
The doubt stemmed from Quinan's motive! "Why would this guy want to die?"
"And of all times, it had to be me?"
Roger murmured to himself.
At this point...
He was certainly aware that from beginning to end, Khunan only harbored "malice" towards him, not "killing intent"! He never intended to kill him!
He had no intention of harming Mystra!
But there's another purpose!
This thought came to mind.
Roger hurriedly looked at Mystra was watching from the sidelines.
But he found that she was looking at him too.
The two exchanged a glance.
They both saw the unease in each other's eyes.
"They've lost Quinan's place..."
"Has He been completely reincarnated again?"
Roger was about to ask the question.
The next second.
A new notification popped up!
"Hint: Quinan has triggered the hidden class trait of ' Qi Refiner ' - the Way of Weapon Liberation".
"The Way of Weapon Liberation: Military dissolution is a way of upgrading."
The "Way of Weapon Liberation" is a unique effect that can only be triggered by the Qi Refiner class.
The specific triggering method is unknown.
After it is triggered.
Those who are disintegrated will have the opportunity to choose their life form again...
"Choose a new life form?"
Roger's doubts did not last long.
Not long after.
A rumbling sound echoed from beneath the earth.
Roger looked around.
But then, the three volcanoes that had been dormant on the Ancient Desolate Continent suddenly began to erupt in spectacular fashion! The erupted lava flowed down the Volcanic Crater.
This has created a series of spectacular sights.
But the most essential substance hidden inside the volcano was ejected into the Above the Sky without missing a single bit!
Those were densely packed black particles!
These substances come together.
Its shape is bizarre and indistinguishable.
From a distance, it looks a bit like the nebulae Roger saw in the night sky! "Nebulae?"
Roger was startled.
He recognized him.
Those black particles were "Aberrant Matter"! In that instant.
The concentration of Aberrant Matter in the nebula's location is hundreds of times higher than that in the depths of space! "So much Aberrant Matter..."
Roger's eyes widened suddenly.
In an instant.
A man whose face was mostly hidden in darkness appeared in the nebula.
He looks very similar to Quinan.
She just has a more melancholic temperament.
"Thank you."
"Roger..."
His voice was devoid of emotion.
But it's different from a mechanical sound.
It was a sound devoid of human emotion, yet possessing the vocal cords of a human!...
"Hint: Quinan has been resurrected within the ' Aberrant Nebula,' joining the Aberrant race and becoming a newly born Vortex Creature!"
"Kuinan is absorbing the Aberrant Matter from ' Celestial God Volcano ' at an alarming rate..."
"So you didn't expel all the Aberrant Matter!"
Mystra looked at Him with a resolute expression. "Hide them away, for use today."
"You chose... defection!"
Do you think I'll let you escape today?
Quinan smiled.
He said dismissively:
"Someone will come to pick me up."
As he spoke.
An extremely powerful pressure suddenly appeared nearby! In an instant.
Behind the Aberrant Nebula that surrounds Qunan.
A huge gap has also appeared!
A pair of eyes filled with darkness appeared in everyone's perception!
That was an unmatched power!
"Warning: The leader of the Vortex Creature is approaching the Prime Material Plane!"
He opened a temporary passage!
Quinan entered the temporary comrades.
"The Celestial God Quinan has defected..."
Under the overwhelming pressure of the leader of the Vortex Creature.
Even Mystra dared not make a move.
They could only watch helplessly as Quinan and the Aberrant Nebula disappeared into the Prime Material Plane! The gap slowly closed.
Darkness enveloped everything.
Roger kept staring in that direction, unwilling to give up.
I don't know how much time passed.
The gap leading to the unknown land has been completely closed.
Those dark eyes reappeared in his field of vision.
Suddenly.
He saw a face!
"Hint: You have discovered the leader of the Vortex Creature, 'Xuan'..."
