Collapse, Traveling from the Moonlit Oath

[Prompt: Sacred Gear - Sephiroths Cup can be recycled: 8600 Crystals, do you wish to recycle it?]

"It's worth 8600 Crystals? Is this what a Sacred Gear is?"

As expected of a Sacred Gear, its base price is so high.

The reward for an S-rank Collection Bounty, [Sephiroths Cup], is only 2300 Crystals. Selling this Holy Grail is equivalent to an SS-rank bounty.

And it's a relatively early-stage bounty...

In that case, wouldn't the SS-rank Collection Bounty [Twilight Holy Spear], the strongest Sacred Gear, be worth 10,000 Crystals? Equivalent to an SSS-rank bounty?

For collection-type bounties, collecting all Sacred Gears is only SSS-rank.

SSS-rank, when converted to kill-challenge bounties, means going to slay or subdue beings of the Breaking Rank, Dragon God Rank, or Evil God Rank.

"I will not recycle it."

Although 8600 Crystals was tempting, the young girl still didn't plan to sell [Sephiroths Cup]. Its intrinsic value far exceeded 8600 Crystals.

Besides, there are so many ways to earn Crystals in this world, there's no need to do something like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

It would undoubtedly be better used to improve her own strength.

Holding [Sephiroths Cup], the young girl was about to turn it into her own Divine Artifact when Ai-chan suddenly popped out.

[Boss, do you want to perfectly master this Sacred Gear?]

"Perfectly master? What do you mean?"

Qian Xun First Post: Three One Two Eight One Four One Three Nine

Looking at Ai-chan, who suddenly appeared with a grinning face, the young girl felt her smile was ill-intentioned.

[It only costs 1000 Crystals to perfectly master this Sacred Gear, great value for money.]

"What? 1000 Crystals? Are you robbing me!"

Don't get me wrong, 1000 isn't much in the game. A monthly card costs only 30 yuan, giving you 3100 in a month. But in the real world, how hard would she have to work to earn 1000 Crystals? And it wants to scam her Crystals?

Impossible.

She could master this Sacred Gear herself; she didn't need Ai-chan at all.

[How can you say that about Ai-chan? Ai-chan is doing this for your own good, Boss.]

[For only 1000 Crystals, you can perfectly master the Holy Grail, it's definitely great value for money! After perfectly mastering it, you can immediately activate Balance Breaker upon fusing with the Divine Artifact, and your compatibility with the Divine Artifact will be higher, allowing for easier integration of other Divine Artifacts.]

"...Compatibility?"

Hearing Ai-chan's explanation, Miss Moonlit hesitated.

If it were just about awakening the Divine Artifact and immediately entering Balance Breaker, she wouldn't care too much. Although for most Divine Artifact users, this would be an unimaginable feat.

The ultimate domain of a Divine Artifact is "Balance Breaker," meaning "forbidden, inauspicious, external law."

Divine Artifact users who can fully wield their Divine Artifacts can reach this state when their spirits undergo significant changes due to certain events.

The state where Divine Artifacts are utilized to their utmost, fueled by the power of various emotions like happiness, sadness, joy, grief, and fear, generated by drastic changes.

It can transform into other things according to the user's consciousness. When used, it's as if "the balance of the world is being broken," hence it's called "sealed power." Moreover, "Balance Breaker" also has "sub-species forms," meaning there are multiple forms of Balance Breaker.

It can be said that very few can achieve this.

However, some geniuses are simply unreasonable, like the current White Dragon Emperor.

This White Dragon Emperor, "Vali Lucifer," reached the Balance Breaker state shortly after awakening the Sacred Gear [Dividing Dividing (White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings)].

What's even more terrifying is his incredibly vast magic power. From the start, he could maintain Balance Breaker for a month.

Furthermore, he could later use his magic to substitute the consumption of life force to activate the Twin Heavenly Dragons... the Tyrant Beast Form of the Sacred Gear, "Tyrant Dragon."

Because of this, he was known as the strongest White Dragon Emperor of all time.

The human bloodline granted him the Sacred Gear, and at the same time, he inherited the bloodline of the Demon King Lucifer, possessing unimaginable magic power.

Miss Moonlit was also confident that she could achieve the same. Right now, she was definitely not inferior to Vali.

But the compatibility Ai-chan mentioned made her hesitate...

She didn't just want this one Holy Grail Sacred Gear; she wanted other Divine Artifacts as well. If she possessed too many Sacred Gears, any problems that arose would be quite troublesome.

After some thought, the young girl decided to do as Ai-chan suggested and spend the Crystals...

[That's more like it!]

Seeing the young girl agree to her plan, Ai-chan quickly deducted 1000 Crystals from her.

Then, Miss Moonlit formally integrated with Sephiroths Cup.

The Holy Grail transformed into a stream of light and entered the young girl's body, actively fusing with her...

Perhaps due to the system's perfect mastery, this Sacred Gear seemed to have a will of its own, actively accommodating Miss Moonlit.

With no complications, Miss Moonlit quickly adapted to this Sacred Gear, much easier than she had imagined.

Thinking about the settings of Divine Artifacts, they feed on the holder's thoughts, constantly changing and evolving, thus becoming stronger and stronger.

As long as it has manifested once, it can be activated anywhere at will thereafter.

Is it longing?

Then... is ten thousand years of longing enough?

The girl had no memories of Miss Moonlit, but this body was always influencing her unintentionally. The love and longing for that person (the Captain) were absolutely unimaginable.

Moonlit Oath: Granting Heart to Love...

Ten years of lingering echoes, a hundred years of reverberation, a thousand years of solitary journey, ten thousand years of this moment.

How far is forever? It's just... a glance that lasts for ten thousand years.

The ten thousand years of longing turned into nourishment for the Divine Artifact. In an instant... even the Sephiroths Cup, a Sacred Gear, felt like it was about to burst.

The Divine Artifact evolved madly at an unimaginable speed.

Until...

"Balance breaker!"

However, it wasn't over yet; it could still become even more powerful. Miss Moonlit didn't feel much yet, but the Sephiroths Cup within her began to transmit a message to her.

It was too full, her stomach had expanded, and it couldn't hold any more.

It was about to overflow...

Enough, enough! It really can't hold any more, it's going to break!!

As a Sacred Gear, it was going to break!

Please stop.

"???"

Miss Moonlit was speechless.

And it's called a Sacred Gear? It can't even handle this? It hasn't even started yet.

Trash~ Trash~~

But...

"This power..."

Feeling the true power of the Sephiroths Cup, even though she knew its abilities, Miss Moonlit was still a little surprised.

It was like inexhaustible magic, infinite life laws, and the boundary between life and death...

Chapter 27: Such Powerful Self-Healing Abilities

After completely mastering the Sacred Gear Sephiroths Cup, Miss Moonlit had a feeling.

She could now resurrect the dead, and this was just the beginning...

If she could develop the power of the Sacred Gear to its extreme, as long as there was a trace of someone's existence, she could revive them even if they had long since died.

Miss Moonlit was already a long-lived vampire with astonishing self-healing abilities. With this Sacred Gear, the Sephiroths Cup, her abilities reached an incredible level.

The girl grabbed her right arm and, to Gasper's horrified gaze, tore it off. Blood splattered everywhere...

However, before Gasper could even scream, in less than a blink of an eye, Miss Moonlit's arm was as good as new, as if nothing had happened.

"Is this the self-healing power the Holy Grail has given me?"

Brilliant colors appeared in Miss Moonlit's blood-red eyes. Now she not only possessed almost inexhaustible energy but also near-immortal self-healing abilities.

Furthermore, in her Balance Breaker state, she could not only grant others immortality and resurrection on a small scale.

She could even heal an entire city or the injuries of a hundred thousand people on a large scale, turning a hundred-thousand-strong army into an "immortal legion."

And this was just one of the basic abilities of Balance Breaker...

"This is the most powerful healing Divine Artifact, the Sephiroths Cup!"

In terms of healing and support, the Sephiroths Cup was undoubtedly the most powerful Divine Artifact.

It's just that...

"Why do the abilities manifested by the Sephiroths Cup differ from what I know?"

In the girl's memory, although she didn't know much about the Sephiroths Cup, it didn't seem like it should manifest the way it did in her hands.

The Holy Grail could indeed subvert the laws of life, reversing or distorting life, but such manifestations were not present in the original work, and the healing methods were also somewhat different.

[Isn't that simple? Boss, don't you know too? The same Divine Artifact manifests differently and has different abilities in the hands of different people.]

[Even Balance Breaker isn't fixed as a single type; instead, there are many subspecies. The differences in a Divine Artifact's Balance Breaker stem from the owner's different understanding and different longing for it.]

Ai-chan's voice sounded in her ear, explaining earnestly, acting somewhat like an AI assisting its host.

"Uh, that's true..."

Hearing this, Miss Moonlit also realized.

She had been overthinking it. The Divine Artifacts in this world were different from ordinary weapons; what they would become and what level they would grow to depended on the owner using them.

There are many kinds of Balance Breakers, so it's normal for them to be different.

It's worth mentioning that although Balance Breaker is the most powerful realm on the surface, it's actually just the beginning. Holders with true potential can go even further.

Above Balance Breaker, one must choose to embark on the path of Tyranny or Kingship, which is Tyrantification/Kingification. Above that, there's the possibility of evolving towards Dragon Godhood...

Humans, in this world filled with gods, demons, and monsters, have a very low foundation. They are not outstanding in themselves, and can even be called insignificant like ants.

However, because of the "Sacred Gear," a gift from the God of the Bible to humanity, even weak humans possess the power to surpass gods and demons, and even touch upon the possibility of becoming the strongest Two Heavenly Dragons in the DxD World.

In short, with Miss Moonlit now possessing near-Immortality, it's difficult to kill her even if you let people attack her.

However, her Immortality is not absolute at this moment. There are still some powers in this world that can ignore the power of Immortality, let alone powers from other worlds...

"My lady..."

Valerie had recovered by this time. She looked at Miss Moonlit before her, feeling that something about her had changed, but she couldn't quite place it.

It was as if her life level had evolved, or perhaps she had become divine.

Rather than a Vampire, she seemed more like an Angel?

"Wait."

Miss Moonlit reacted and placed her hand on Valerie's head. Sacred radiance appeared in her hand and flowed into Valerie's body.

She healed her entire body comprehensively...

"How do you feel now?"

"I feel great."

Her body felt warm and comfortable, and all the previous pain was completely forgotten. Valerie seemed a little embarrassed and quickly got up.

"Was that the ability of the Sacred Gear within me just now?"

After a moment of hesitation, Valerie couldn't help but ask curiously.
