Bone Servant Lele'er's Ring, Upgraded!

(To thank everyone for their votes, five extra chapters will be added to the top ten at the end of the month!)

The Screaming Count was indeed waiting to die, and was even close to dying.

After witnessing firsthand Cheng Shi's various conversations with different people and gods, he was defeated by his most beloved fear.

At this moment, numb, he was like a fat goose stuffed with feed, letting the fear that he couldn't swallow envelop and squeeze him, gradually crushing and extinguishing his hope for survival. Then his consciousness gradually became Chaos and mechanical, a blank, and he foolishly waited for death.

For a fleeting moment, he even felt as if he were already dead, and that what he was seeing and hearing was nothing more than being judged in the Hall of Death, Divine Authority death.

The enormous skull understood Cheng Shi's meaning.

To be honest, He hadn't originally planned for it to be this complicated. In Death's original plan, He intended to completely annihilate one of the last remnants of Prosperity, turning it into an ordinary skull in the temple, to be eternally suppressed at His feet.

But after seeing Cheng Shi's "request", He hesitated.

Although this is an outrageous request, and although the Ring of Bone Servant Lele'er already exceeds the item level cap for a player, adding even more Divinity might make the ring's strength go against the game's intended balance...

However, after considering that Cheng Shi had also made many contributions to Him, He felt that He should reward this employee.

But is this reward a bit excessive?

Excessive rewards imply that He is endorsing Cheng Shi with Faith, but the current [death] does not want to be associated with [Nothingness] too much.

However, since we're on the topic of "Nothingness"...

"..."

The boiling green flames in the giant skull's eyes suddenly flickered for some reason. It realized that if it could not give Cheng Shi compensation—yes, compensation, not a reward—it would be impossible.

He realized that if He couldn't compensate Cheng Shi, He might have to face Nothingness alone again after this incident...

Twice!

Thinking of this, the giant skull glanced at the ring in Cheng Shi's mouth, sighed heavily, and a green light flashed in its eyes, magnifying the ring infinitely and merging it with Dizer, who was imprisoned in a ball.

Cheng Shi only heard Dizer let out a shrill scream, and a few seconds later, under his increasingly intense gaze, the entire Daggers exploded with a "bang."

A Decay mix of decay and prosperity erupted, scattering light in all directions like waves, causing Cheng Shi to stumble.

But he was unwilling to miss witnessing this rare moment of Cosmos 'Emissary fall, so he looked up under immense pressure and saw this legendary Oathbreaker, this former son of [Prosperity], this blasphemous assassin of [Decay], die without any surprise in the Fishbone Hall, completing his atonement for his mother's evil deeds, and following in his mother's footsteps, following in the footsteps of [Prosperity].

However, Cheng Shi wasn't Cheng Shi concerned about Dizer's death. At this moment, all he wanted to know was whether his strongest working ring had become even stronger!

The answer is yes, but the forging of the ring by death continues.

A series of green flashes appeared in the air, screams echoed in the ears, and the murmuring voices of countless white bones resounded in the hall at the same time. In an instant, all the skulls in the entire Fishbone Hall erupted and surged upwards like a torrent.

The skeletons in the torrent roared and stared intently at the ring in mid-air. They spat out pale white streams of light, one after another, splattering onto the ring and making the eerie white ring even more deathly pale.

Not long after, skulls rained down from the sky, and the deafening Fishbone Hall fell An Jing instantly. Just then, a ring that was only five parts similar to the Ring of Bone Servant Lele'er slowly floated down from mid-air and landed directly on Cheng Shi's lips.

Cheng Shi was completely stunned. He stared intently at the ring and discovered that it had undergone tremendous Change.

The most obvious Change is that the bewitching red light that originally flowed on the ring has been gathered up and transformed into five pairs of scarlet eyes embedded on the ring.

At the same time, the five rough, Screaming Maw transformed into five shrieking faces, merging with the scarlet eyes to become twisted, grotesque, screaming faces.

The ring's overall color became increasingly pale, but on this pale background, one could clearly see black cracks spreading like vines. The lines ran through both sides of the ring, intertwining and merging, adding a touch of Decay and brokenness to this "death" ring.

At first glance, it's impossible to tell how much Faith is incorporated into this.

Cheng Shi was stunned. He suppressed his excitement and didn't dare to put the ring directly into his mouth. Instead, he restrained his trembling joy and displayed the qualities of a sycophant that an excellent employee should have.

"My lord, please name this ancient and Discarded Divine Artifact once again!"

Upon hearing this, the enormous skull on the Bone Throne instantly abandoned its previous hesitation and became... "lively"?

For a fleeting moment, Cheng Shi felt as if he could see the enormous skull in front of him curving upwards at the corners of its mouth.

?

That's so strange, how exactly did the mandible get twisted?

The magnificent and vast Fishbone Hall fell An Jing instantly, as if all the noisy Little Skull had shut up, not daring to disturb His refined pleasure at this moment.

The massive skull pondered for a long time until a flash of inspiration struck it, then it couldn't help but nod and, with great satisfaction, bestowed upon the brand-new ring a legendary name.

"Let's call it that..."

The Ring of the Atoning Son of Bone Servant.

"..."

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.

Only at this time can your loyal employees have the opportunity to complain about you, their great boss.

This is not a name that any single person could come up with.

But no matter what, it doesn't sound much better than the Ring of Bone Servant Lele'er...

Cheng Shi was embarrassed, but he quickly nodded vigorously.

"Your aesthetic sense remains as unparalleled as ever Cosmos..."

I believe that no matter how much the world changes, future generations will remember this ring, not because of its incredible power, but because of its legendary name.

Praise be to you, praise be to the great... God of Death.

No matter how many different forms of praise he had received, the Great One on the Bone Throne had always scoffed at it.

Only at this moment did His expression become slightly strange, as if He had calmly accepted this "sincere" praise, but kept it to himself without showing it.

His gaze toward Cheng Shi grew increasingly strange, but at that moment, Cheng Shi, consumed by passion, had no interest in responding to his boss's gaze.

His eyes were only on this ring.

This bone servant...

Forget it, why make things difficult for myself...

Let's just call it the Death Amusement Ring .
