Night Ranger

Chapter 595: Seed (2)



In this world, there were always some unclear coincidences.

Marvin went to Devil Town to seek Sodom’s Blades. In fact, it first came from his instincts as a player. With his strength increasing, his equipment had to be changed too.

As a Ruler of the Night, other equipment might not be as important, but good weapons were essential.

Marvin had always been proud of how skillful he was at killing, but when fighting the Divine Servants in the recent days, his Legendary Daggers had already been somewhat behind.

An era ago, the Azure Leafs would be good enough.

But now it was after the Great Calamity!

This was the era of shining stars, and it was also the most chaotic era.

Even if Feinan post-Great Calamity didn’t look like the 3rd Era, which birthed countless geniuses, there were still quite a few emerging here and there. What was most terrifying about this period was that those Gods who left their names behind in the 3rd Era would set foot onto Feinan once more.

Although the Universe Magic Pool had yet to be breached at the moment, the shadows could always be seen quietly approaching.

Ambella, the 1st Divine Servant of the Dream God, was only a small part of a whole.

In the letter that Eve sent to Marvin, it was mentioned that a church of Dawn and Protection had been established in a small town in the North.

With a church appearing so quickly and robustly after the Great Calamity, if there was no Divine Servant behind it, Marvin wouldn’t believe it. In other words, a Divine Servant of the God of Dawn and Protection had already descended.

After all, people were very self-centered in this era. No one would follow a protector that didn’t have enough strength.

Even if said protector was a God.

What was worth mentioning was that compared to the game, the respect of the current natives in Feinan toward the Gods had been weakened quite a bit, even without the players, the Golden Children.

They even had a faint hatred of the Gods.

In the game’s history, this hatred had been toned down by the constant fear for survival and the temptation of faith, and gradually, because of their desire for salvation, they slowly forgot who caused the disaster in the first place.

They started believing in Gods and contributing their Faith, thus allowing the Gods to become stronger.

But it was different this time.

With the advent of the world-shaking disaster, countless heroes stood out.

They were mortals.

Everyone who saw that scene had been emotionally moved.

The Great Elven King left Feinan! The Cloud Monk left Feinan! The North Guardian left Feinan!

There was also that nameless youth who had turned into an Astral Beast, silently protecting their land, Feinan.

Heroes fought for them above Feinan, and meanwhile, on the ground, Dark Phoenix’s ascension also attracted the attention of countless people.

White River Valley, the Night Walkers, the Great Druids, the Sea Elves, the Old Alliance of the Seven Orders, the North’s Valkyrie, Rocky Mountain...

These heroes of mankind went all-out to protect this land.

Passion was contagious.

And so was courage.

After Dark Phoenix’s death, people saw that even a God could also be killed. Thus the Gods lost a lot of respect with the people of Feinan, and that hatred became more intense.

And Eric’s death... They remembered that youth’s appearance, but they didn’t lose hope or become dispirited. The memory of him fighting for them turned into the courage that they strove for.

This all created some unconscious changes, which Marvin was happy with.

Mortals’ minds were something wonderful. Sometimes they would be easily played by conspiracies, while sometimes they would seem stubborn and difficult to manipulate.

Marvin knew that to truly influence the course of this world and change the past history, he would have to start from this.

He couldn’t withstand the God Realms and other planes by himself.

He needed all of Feinan to stand up alongside White River Valley.

Of course, personal strength would also help along the way.

As Marvin got stronger, the load he was carrying on his shoulders became heavier.

He was being watched by many people, and the Dream God would soon come after him, the evil intent from the Dream World would soon arrive.

Not mentioning the other Gods he had offended.

The slumbering, or perhaps hibernating, Shadow Prince, the low-key Black Dragon God, the three Great Gods whose standings were unknown...

This was the power of the God Realm!

Marvin didn’t forget about the Negative Energy Plane’s Hartson, now called Tidomas, who was still concerned about him. If not for Louise sending him to the Elemental Plane of Water, who knows what price Marvin would have had to pay to avoid Tidomas’ pursuit?

He still had Tidomas’ Divine Source in his hand!

Thinking about it, Marvin had quite a few enemies. In fact, apart from Hell’s forces, whose attitude toward him was a bit uncertain, the other three forces had completely been offended by him.

The Universe Magic Pool would be breached sooner or later, and all Marvin could do before then was to increase his own strength. To an unreachable level.

And having suitable weapons was crucial for that.

To Marvin, Sodom’s Blades were naturally the first choice. In his memories, there were at least three locations in Feinan where Artifact-level curved daggers were hidden.

The attributes of these Artifacts weren’t as powerful as those of Sodom’s Blades, which cemented his decision.

But he hadn’t thought that after finding Sodom’s Blades, he would learn that an acquaintance would actually be involved.

...

’That woman...’

’Butterfly?’

When he recognized the figure in his mind as that strange Elf, Marvin’s expression became rather strange.

In the Chromatic Dragon Temple, he had found out about Butterfly’s status as a High Elf.

She was the first one crowned as the High Elven Queen in the 2nd Era!

And she was the most loyal subordinate of the Night Monarch.

The immortality of High Elves was well known, but Marvin hadn’t thought that the aloof High Elven Queen actually had some connection with the tyrant of the Underdark.

’You know her?’

The Spirit inside Sodom’s Blades noticed Marvin’s sudden change of mood.

’Yeah.’ Marvin nodded.

He should be considered familiar with Butterfly, right? After she recovered her memory in the Temple, who knew what this person would do? However, it had been arranged by Professor, so it should be beneficial for Feinan, and the mortals having another powerhouse at the level of the Plane Guardians wasn’t too bad either.

She should be close to Thousand Leaves Forest at the moment. At least, the last time he saw her, it looked like she was heading to the Night Monarch’s underground realm. So Marvin knew where to start his search.

Thinking of this, Marvin solemnly promised, ’I’ll definitely get that thing, that seed, and hand it over to her.’

The Spirit was silent for a moment before giving off a faint, happy feeling. ’Since that’s the case... these daggers are in your hands.’

’I’ll slumber for now, unless something especially urgent happens. You can only use a part of the power in my blades until you fulfill your promise.’

’The seed is on my corpse. There is a bag beside the Ruler’s Blood Jade. You can take it.’

It seemed like the Spirit’s voice started weakening after Marvin made his promise. It ultimately disappeared from Marvin’s mind.

This pair of cold curved daggers was finally in Marvin’s hands.
