"Adventurer, you must be joking..."
The believer chuckled, reacting quickly. Even if it was just a paste of chili powder, you'd have to get close to apply it, and who would dare approach the eyes of the Tian Wei Giant Beast?
If Ye Lin hadn't said he could extract tears from dozens of meters away, no believer would have dared to take on this task.
The Tian Wei Giant Beast, recognized as the strongest creature on the Arad continent, could crush everything with its sheer size alone. Ice Dragon? Evil Dragon? What are those small fry?
Lotus? Even Luo Zong would have to run first when facing the falling Tian Wei Giant Beast!
Even Apostle Anton, titled "He Who Possesses an Infinitely Long Body," was still a circle smaller than the Tian Wei Giant Beast. However, Anton was the smallest of the "Odin" race; only adult Odin could compare to or surpass the Tian Wei Giant Beast.
The believer carefully maneuvered the donier closer to the three left eyes of the Tian Wei Giant Beast. Even the smallest one was more than ten times larger than the donier airship.
For the GBL religion, if they were to rank their respect, blue truth would be first, while founder Leslie and Behemoth would be tied for second. Venus would have to move back a bit.
"Adventurer!"
The believer gave a quick reminder, urging Ye Lin to quickly check for tears in Behemoth's eyes and then make a swift escape. Without a comparison, there would be no shock; this giant beast was too terrifying.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
He raised his binoculars to observe if there were tears in the Tian Wei Giant Beast's eyes.
"Adventurer, do you know how the Tian Wei Giant Beast was born?"
The believer couldn't help but ask. The GBL religion's creed was to gather all knowledge, and the Tian Wei Giant Beast was naturally included.
"Oh, that," Ye Lin replied casually while observing, "It might be a product of another world, like the Ice Dragon, sent here by a powerful being."
The actual origin of the Tian Wei Giant Beast should be the Demon World, or rather, Ancient Terra Star, a creation of technology. As for how it got here... unknown.
"Can you get a little closer? I've made an unexpected discovery."
"Oh, okay."
As the donier slowly approached, Ye Lin was finally able to barely make out the characters he had just discovered engraved on Behemoth's skin. It seemed to be the language of the Dark Elf, which he couldn't read.
However, Heaven's Seal quickly took effect. The string of characters below the Tian Wei Giant Beast's eye was clearly a sentence and a name.
"Tears of the Tian Wei Giant Beast, all tasks completed. We can finally lift the curse!" — Rommel.
The handwriting was elegant and free-flowing, revealing a sense of unrestrained freedom. Behind the text, a gray spear was clearly seen piercing the surface skin of the Tian Wei Giant Beast, with half of the spear shaft embedded!
It was evident how excited and impatient Rommel was at the time, throwing the spear with powerful force, eager to return home.
"There's a Goddess Palace on the back of the Tian Wei Giant Beast, could it be..." Ye Lin murmured, then fell silent. The most valiant enthusiasm met the most heartless betrayal of trust. Rommel was dead.
Whoosh~
The Fifth Element activated, and the weapon of the first hero, Rommel, detached from the Tian Wei Giant Beast and was held in his hand.
As the first hero of the Dark Elf, Rommel's relic held extremely high worship value. If returned, it might open a bridge of friendship between him and the Dark Elf.
Unlike Heoju, which was closed off, the Dark Elf were extremely xenophobic, not due to policy but due to ancient racial issues. Only a very small number of Nightbringers were active in the shadows of human kingdoms.
"I wonder if the Dark Elf listened to the announcement from Alice, Shalan, and me..."
Before he came to the Tian Wei Giant Beast, he, in the name of Diviner Alice, entrusted Shalan to write a sincere letter to the current Queen Meiya of the Dark Elf, warning that a terrifying black plague would break out in the Noire Ferra region, which was once the city of the Dwarf, and urged them to evacuate the population quickly.
Perhaps because of the high altitude and strong winds, the water vapor evaporated quickly, and the Tian Wei Giant Beast's eyes secreted tears very frequently. He easily obtained the materials Alice wanted.
"Got it. Let's go back."
"Okay, Adventurer."
The believer piloted the donier, carefully returning to the back of the Tian Wei Giant Beast. Ye Lin was extremely interested in this wonderful flying device.
The Dark Elf mogaduo were rarely passed down, and the driving technology was also extremely troublesome. If the donier could be sold on the market to those nobles who liked to show off, it would surely bring in a huge profit.
Returning to Luo Zong's death place, Mo Mei's awakening had reached its final stage. Her duel with Dark King Styr, supported by Yuena's buff, gradually gained the upper hand, as the opponent was only a phantom after all.
Thousand Lotus Bloom!
Mo Mei's long-condensed Nen Lotus, its petals shining with an incredibly intense black electric light, then exploded violently. Nen swept through, and a pillar of light shot into the sky, clearing the entire hillside and even stripping away a layer of topsoil.
"You are very good. This is your reward."
Dark King Styr smiled with satisfaction, and as his body shattered, he left behind a pair of black gloves and a colorful cloth top.
【Hell Rock Gloves】 【Heavenly Cicada Soul Protection Robe】
"I... I'm an Awakener now?"
Mo Mei's face was full of pleasant surprise. She happily looked left and right, at the swaying Nen petals around her. Although soft, they were incredibly powerful, giving her a dreamlike feeling.
Before, she was a nobody, but now she had become an Awakener, respected everywhere!
"Boss, thank you, thank you so much."
Ye Lin, who was still considering how to deal with Lotus's corpse, was caught off guard by the excited Mo Mei, who hugged him tightly. Her naturally enthusiastic personality combined with her excited mood caused her to jump and pounce on Ye Lin, with her feet off the ground.
"Mmm..."
"It's a bit stuffy. Is this... justice? A hug of justice! Happiness..."
He held Mo Mei by the waist and spun her three times before reluctantly letting her down. Her small face was red, and her lips couldn't stop curving upwards. In her extreme excitement, she didn't notice these things at all.
"What about such a large corpse?"
Siate glared at him irritably. Although Lotus had been reborn from an egg, dealing with this thousand-meter body was a problem. Should they just leave it here to rot?
"We'll take one tentacle. Ophelia told me she would use magic to mummify the rest for future believers to see as a warning."
After all, it was an enemy they had put effort into defeating. Taking a tentacle and processing it to display as a trophy in the shop wasn't a bad idea.
"Envious?" He poked Siate's arm, teasing, "Mo Mei's promotion was smooth sailing. If you had chosen to use the power of a demon like Seles, with your talent..."
"If I'm envious, then just a little, but I don't regret it. Methods that quickly gain power always come with a price."
Siate smiled and didn't care too much. Contracting a demon could indeed quickly gain powerful strength, but the price was that one had to constantly endure the demon's interference and could be backlashed if not careful.
Among her friends, the Dark Temple Knight needed to offer their most loyal and fanatical faith to Ushir, the King of the Underworld. Although the Vagabond had a higher mastery of Transfer Force than her, they were essentially ascetics.
Similar effects were also seen in male Nen Masters. Because the female lineage was considered orthodox in the Fighter class, most Nen Master cultivation abilities were designed for females. Males often had to pay multiple times the price to cultivate as a Nen Master.
Thus, "Nen Tattoos" became popular among male Nen Masters, a forbidden technique that allowed one to gain powerful Nen energy simply by finding the tattoo materials. The speed of their strength increase was astonishing.
However, correspondingly, those who used "Nen Tattoos" would have their lifespan reduced by one-third.
