A Generous Gift, Deep Affection (cont.)
Therefore, when Artemis first descended to the mortal realm in Lao, she was given the means to unleash her divine powers in the presence of Antares.
"Who are you..."
Artemis stared blankly at Ming Ge, unsure of what to say.
"By the way, where's Antares?"
Artemis suddenly realized that this was not the time to relax, and looked at Ming Ge with a puzzled expression, asking...
Artemis has blue hair and a sharp yet clear temperament, making her appear extremely aloof and beautiful.
"I've already eliminated it."
Ming Ge wasn't lying; Antares had indeed been eliminated.
At this moment, the God-Slaying Jade in his hand was a completely different being.
The information has been extracted, and even without the mold, Ming Ge can still recreate it.
"My name is Ming Ge. The gods call me the King of Magicians, and I am the one who slays the Black Dragon. At this moment, I have successfully defeated the God's Assassin, Antares."
Ming Ge looked at Artemis and spoke.
"They've launched a punitive expedition...?!"
Artemis looked surprised.
In the original story, Artemis was swallowed up before she could react because she was ambushed by Antares.
High-level monsters possess considerable intelligence. Even though the seal has weakened, they pretend it is still working, launching a crucial attack when Artemis relaxes her guard.
Sensing the complete release of the seal from a hundred kilometers away, I can unleash my divine power and fly over across the distance to the lower realm. If I'm careful, I can reseal Antares.
The problem is that none of the powers of the heavens could do anything to Antares, including Artemis, who could destroy the entire underworld but couldn't kill this tiny monster.
But now, it has been defeated by Ming Ge.
"Oh, I see. It's you."
Artemis had been descending to the mortal realm for several months, and recalling Ming Ge's rumors, her expression softened.
"That..."
Ming Ge said, "I'm very curious about divinely created weapons. As a reward for accomplishing this great feat, could you show me the weapon in your hand?"
In fact, after Artemis learned of Antares's death, the system engraved in the rules had already been activated.
Originally, they would have sealed Artemis's power and sent the divine weapon Rotation heavens, but Ming Ge intervened.
He is now capable of doing such things. His EX-level clairvoyance is enough to see the world from the perspective of a god, and he can even do things that even gods cannot do in many situations.
These things have nothing to do with the celestial realm; they are miracles born from the convergence of the mortal realm's fortune.
"This..."
Artemis hesitated for a moment, then handed him the weapon, reminding him, "Orion has his own will; it cannot be used by anyone other than the chosen one."
In her view, as a hero standing at the pinnacle, Ming Ge should only be curious about the divinely created weapons.
As Ming Ge said, as a reward, letting her see it would be acceptable.
In fact, Ming Ge has now changed the subject regarding Artemis.
"So that's how it's structured."
Ming Ge's fingers gently brushed over the gun barrel. This divinely created weapon, which was both a gun and an arrow, had its internal structure completely analyzed by Ming Ge.
Forged using the power of heaven in the Sea of Heaven, its materials and forging equipment are things that the lower realm does not possess.
Unreplicable
For the first time, Ming Ge felt a sense of 'powerlessness,' though it was very faint.
Because he knew about this from the beginning and was certain that it was only temporary.
A moonlit radiance gradually shone from the tip of the spear.
The god-slaying spear in the Ming Ge's hand emitted a joyful ripple.
"Eh??"
Artemis's eyes widened.
She never expected that Orion would actually approve of Ming Ge.
"It seems this child likes me quite a bit."
Ming Ge smiled.
Orion had conditions for accepting God, one of which was a pure soul, something that even Alfia and Meitellia might not have been able to achieve.
To put it bluntly, a pure soul is nothing more than the approval of fate.
With multiple buffs stacked on her body, many of Ming Ge's skills meet the conditions for Orion.
"Yes, this child... seems to like you very much."
Artemis stared blankly at Ming Ge, her heart filled with bewilderment.
"Can I have it?"
Ming Ge asked with a smile.
"Well... that's possible, but I estimate it won't be long before Orion is sent Rotation Realm... Hey, speaking of which, why wasn't he sent back?"
Artemis's panic was palpable and impossible to conceal.
She's a good child who doesn't lie.
Ming Ge thought to herself, a hint of pleasure appearing on her face.
"Then I'll accept it!"
As soon as Ming Ge finished speaking, Orion's Arrow transformed into an imprint and landed on Ming Ge's left hand.
Seeing her weapon betray her, Artemis was not angry, nor even slightly displeased; instead, she was completely at a loss.
The forging of divinely created weapons is a destiny unique to each individual, a destiny that even the forger cannot fully control.
