Chapter 994 Celestia's Sword Spirit

"Our origin is the world's devourer, and we were not independent entities when we were first created. You lost your bet, and I am giving you the chance to start all over again. A new life. So, do you choose to keep your promise, or insist to the end ?" Zera spoke to the small fragment crystal in her hand.

"I should feel happy to unite with the almighty lord, but for some reason, I feel pain in my soul. He has stripped my power, and you barely retracted my soul body in time. Do whatever you want." Number One surrendered herself, not caring about what Zera would do to her.

"That won't do. It was a great gamble to retract your soul body. But, you're destined with us. I ask you one more time, do you want to be reborn as a sword spirit and become my master's sharpest sword?" Zera shook her finger left and right.

"I shall become the sharpest sword to slay anything, even Gods. I have no luxury to get a full reborn reshuffling like you. Erase my memories, everything, with nothing left but battle datas. Otherwise, I might injuring your master to pursue my origin." Number One didn't really care what would happen to her. Since she lost the bet, she would do whatever Zera arranged for her.

"That's for sure, but you won't be able to hurt my master even if you want to. I want you to become the sharpest sword for my esteemed master. A new personality and battle data are all you need. Let's transform you into a sword spirit with the power to manifest as a lesser Ruvoid God's power. From now on, Number One is dead, and you are reborn as a sword spirit with the name Celestia." Zera performs a sacred ritual to fuse the sword with Number One's soul body.

The dark fragment crystal fused with Celestia and enveloped the heaven-grade Odachi with a thick cursed aura of darkness. The top-tier heaven-grade weapon was upgraded to a low-tier divine weapon.

"As expected. You have the honor of being my master's first weapon spirit." Zera smiled faintly, then glanced at the two core fragments in her hand. She left Celestia to float in the bracelet realm and exited there.

*Poof*

Zera combined the two core fragments into one linked item, then infused a fraction of her power to trigger the divine law she stole from the Ruvoid God's shadow. "Come forth, the lesser Ruvoid God with the power to devour the world!"

*Rumble!*

The mini dark vortex emerged and sucked in the surrounding energy, creating a spiral effect that transformed into a shadowy human-like shape.

The so-called lesser Ruvoid God was similar to the Ruvoid Shadow on the moon. Still, he only had the power of the newly ascended early God.

<| Lv. 201 | Lesser Ruvoid God (Fragment) | (N/A) | (N/A) | HP: 170,000 / 170,000 | EP: 270,000 / 270,000 |>

<| STR: 66 | AGI: 88 | VIT: 121 | INT: 98 |>

Elysia checked the newly formed lesser Ruvoid God's status screen and was quite shocked. She didn't expect Zera to pull this kind of stunt so easily.

'The stats are pretty normal, but we can't underestimate this one. This one has a similar origin to a shadow beast in the Boundless Realm with the ability to devour, after all...' Elena commented after surveying the lesser Ruvoid God inside and out.

'It's just like an empty shadow puppet. But, Zera believes it can develop the more battles that shadow faces.' Elysia propelled her body to sit.

'Yeah. Apart from being a sparring opponent, this shadow will also become stronger in battle. Let's see what kind of gifts Zera has prepared for us. She is quite difficult to manage and somewhat unrestrained now. We need to be more careful when dealing with her, Ely. She is a divine-class Ruvoid Goddess, and might be able to eliminate the spirit bound.' Elena was concerned about something.

'She is now bound only by spirit connections, not by compelling shackles as before. I already told her. If she wants to follow me, then do it sincerely. If betrayal is the choice, then do it early and only come to me.' Elisia smiled faintly.

Zera was a new entity that came from a curse and was nurtured within the void. As long as she was powerful and promising, Zera would never have any thoughts of betraying her, even if there was the opportunity for it.

Rhea and Gio had taken out the portal to the secret realm from underground.

The entrance was open, and Zera thought it was time for everyone to spar against the lesser Ruvoid God. "Go, and defeat everyone who challenges you."

*Swoosh*

The lesser Ruvoid God entered the secret realm while most were still stunned by what had just happened.

"You, you can be called a Ruvoid Goddess, and you can manifest a lesser one with just a wave of your hand? Instead of fighting the fake shadow thingy, how about you be our sparring partner?" Xero widened his eyes and grinned widely. He clasped his fist as if ready to beat Zera into oblivion.

"Go, go, don't bother me. I am currently refining Master Ely's first sword to perfection. It would be a waste of meteorite material if it couldn't become at least a mid-tier divine grade weapon." Zera flapped her hand to shoo the troublemaker away.

She then turned around and glanced at the Gods with a faint, crafty smile. "I want to see you beaten black and blue. Never underestimate it, but it gets more challenging if it's one on one. But, worry not, that shadow thingy like you said won't kill you."

"She must be scheming something nasty, but I don't know what she's planning. So, shall we go for a sparring match against the lesser Ruvoid God of the curse divine law she extracted from the moon?" Regulus felt suspicious, but he didn't know where it came from.

"It's all good. She is Elysia's people and has no more relation to the Ruvoid God. I believe the Goddesses are wise in all of their decisions. No harm. We can test the water depth and our strength at the same time." Oceanid had good faith in Elysia and the Goddesses around her. Thus, he entered the secret realm to challenge the lesser Ruvoid God without any worries.

"So be it." Xero glanced at Zera, then at Elysia once before leaving.

"Please don't underestimate the curse and void divine law. Also, please at least give it time to regenerate if you defeat it so you can spar to your heart's content." Elysia waved her hand.

Regulus considered things for a moment, then entered the secret realm. "Well, let's see how much stronger the lesser one was compared to the ancient one a hundred thousand years ago."

"Un, we should also go there and test our strength in battle. We can also feast our eyes and broaden our horizons by witnessing the divine class battle." Sylvia was eager to enter the secret realm but didn't want to be alone there.

"This will be interesting. Count me in." Ai did a little stretching, ready for some sparring.

"Good, let's enter. I can at least guarantee your safety when they go crazy." Nell nodded in agreement, then brought those willing to enter with her.

Vanessa and Yuuki glanced at Elysia, and their master responded with a nod. The girls entered the secret realm with Nell, and the little dragon didn't want to miss the opportunity. However, Elysia and Evelyn were still outside with Rhea and Lifa.

"You don't want to come watch and participate to test your power against the lesser Ruvoid God?" Elysia looked back, confused.

"I will accompany you here. I know we will guard the portal. Also, this is the beach!" Evelyn put her hands together.

"Yeah, the beach outside the plant monster forest on the dangerous forbidden island." Elysia could see the nearby forest was quite exotic. Still, hundreds of dangerous plant monsters were on standby to pounce on anyone who dared to go inside.

"You want to sunbathe while waiting for everyone to come back? I'll apply sunscreen on your body~" Evelyn took out a bottle of sunscreen.

"Uh, it's already noon and the sunlight is so hot. I'd be a dried fish if I sunbathe." Elysia checked one of her bracelets. Zera was busy with Celestia.

"Then, let's relax on our beach holiday tour. I will seal the portal, and everything will be fine. No monsters dare to come near because our aura has already scared them away." Rhea proposed an idea, and everyone agreed with it. Elena also joined the tour right away.

Meanwhile, Xero had clashed against the lesser Void God in the secret realm. He insisted on testing his strength against the fake Curse God alone when it was his turn.

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Each clash caused explosive ripples across the purple sky, and the movements of the two sides were difficult to follow with the naked eye.

"Hahaha, is that all you are capable of? The lesser one really doesn't satisfy my fighting desire in the slightest! Blurgh!" Xero just got the upper hand and arrogantly shouted. However, the lesser Ruvoid God beat him in the face.

"How dare you!" Xero fell for the provocation. Among all kinds of attacks, targeting the face was a great insult.

"Ah, that shadow knows very well how to infuriate that muscle head. He is bound to win, but it won't be so easy. Luckily, Elysia and her Goddess master aren't here to see him battered and bruised after his arrogance was smacked in the face." Oceanid was amused by Xero's situation.

"Huh? What does this have to do with Elysia and her Goddess master?" Nell felt confused.

'It's not certain because it's just my assumption, but I think he has a hidden crush on Lina, the Goddess of Light. He knows that his crush really loves her disciple, and he is also targeting Elysia.' Oceanid rubbed his chin as if he knew everything.

'Hah!?' Nell simply couldn't believe it, but it was funny because she understood Elena and Elysia's sentiment. She had no idea what would happen if they knew it.
