Chapter 129: Return! Witness of the Myth!

The piece of spider silk was lustrous and translucent, emitting an aura that did not belong to this world. Even space seemed to warp because of it as the heretical and strange aura spread.

Yuna had been concentrating her energy earlier to resist the invasion of the God of Evil’s aura. Hence, she was not aware of Link’s little trick.

Seeing this piece of spider silk now, she couldn’t help but part her red lips slightly. Surprise was written all over her holy face!

“This is...” Yuna shut her mouth timely. Existences at the tier of the gods couldn’t be comprehended, deduced, or have their names mentioned. Doing any of this could attract their attention.

Link did not explain further. He only nodded lightly, indicating his affirmation.

Yuna was even more shocked in her heart. It was as though a huge rock—weighing 1,000 jin—had been thrown into the lake that was her heart, stirring up a great splash!

Her master had actually pulled out the God of Evil’s hair and returned alive!

One had to know that the other party was a god. Every god of them had staggering power!

Following Link’s gaze, the information of this piece of spider silk also entered Link’s mind.

[Spider God’s Silk]

Grade: Myth-grade material

Introduction: Silk of the Spider God, Atlas Nakya. It is also a portion of the bridge between the physical world and the Dreamlands.

...

A touch of joy rose in Link’s heart. As expected, it was indeed a Myth-grade material.

Link really looked forward to knowing what the grade of the item—which he would ultimately get after the material underwent [Supreme Blessing]—would be!

But Link did not use [Supreme Blessing] on the spider silk immediately.

This area was too strange; it actually caused him and Yuna to fall into the Dreamlands. It wouldn’t be too late to check his gains after getting to a safe place first.

Just this piece of God of Evil’s silk was already a gain that the average person could not imagine.

In the altar’s surroundings, many of the aberrated creatures’ limbs still remained after being burned by the holy flames. They gleamed with a jet-black cold light.

These were pretty good materials as well. Due to coming from Stage Five Spiderhuman High Priests, their firmness and might both far surpassed commonality.

Moreover, after being purified once by Yuna using holy flames, the pollution it caused to the human body was within an acceptable range.

If it were to be handed to those with [Craftsman] professions, they would certainly be able to forge some pretty good chaotic equipment.

Of course, it would certainly be no match for Link’s [Mask of the Faceless].

But at the current stage, it was already difficult for [Doomsday Online] players to be fully armed.

Link put all those huge chelicerae into the system backpack one by one, intending to toss them to Fatty Lu Da when he got back.

The few spider eye gems that had brought him and Yuna into the Dreamlands earlier were all crushed now. There were only threads of aura remaining.

These few gems had probably been tainted by the God of Evil’s aura, so they had the ability to open the Dreamlands’ passageway. However, they could only do so once.

The God of Evil’s statue was destroyed, and the source of its aura in this area had already vanished.

The suppression and feeling of twistedness—which the basement’s second level gave one—instantly depleted sharply.

But the flesh-made ground and ceiling——these features were already deeply aberrated—did not return to their original state.

The God of Evil’s aura had semi-permanently changed this place.

Link and Yuna walked down the altar.

The corpses’ stench was still strong.

They surveyed this space that was covered in humans bones and limbs, and a hint of disgust flashed across both their faces.

So many people had lost their lives because of the Black Dragon Gang. If Undead creatures were a plane invasion—a calamity—then the scene before their eyes would be human evil through and through!

Calamities were difficult to predict, while human evils couldn’t be forgiven!

The Black Dragon Gang’s existence was a mistake!

“Yuna, release holy flames. Let them rest in peace.” Finally, Link let out a sigh and left this space of sin with a solemn countenance.

Golden holy flames blazed, burning down the massive altar. Expressions of deliverance seemed to emerge on those broken corpses’ faces.

It was also right then that a system notification suddenly sounded in Link’s mind.

“Ding! Detected that you have faced a mythical creature and returned safely.”

“As you are the first player on Blue Star to face a mythical creature, you have acquired a title, [Witness of the Myth]!”

“A world-wide announcement will be made! Do you need your personal details concealed?”

After listening to the system’s voice, Link’s footsteps faltered slightly, and the corner of his lips could not help curving up slightly.

He actually acquired a title again!

The [Fearless Pathfinder] title that Link had obtained previously... The title skill that it gave him was rather awesome.

One could even say that if it weren’t for the [Fearless] passive, Link—who’d faced the God of Evil—certainly would’ve aberrated.

His body and spirit would either turn into the Spider God’s food or fall into endless madness and gradually die out.

It could be said that, having tasted the marrow, Link’s longing for its savor grew. Now that he had gotten a title again—even being the calm man that he was—he could not help feeling a speck of heat rise in his heart.

“Conceal personal details,” replied Link via his thoughts. He then began examining the effects that came with the title.

[Witness of the Myth]

Introduction: Person who has faced the gods and discerned a corner of the universe’s cruel truth. To become a defiler, godslayer who destroys the gods, or to grovel and worship at the gods’ feet, offering your own faith like a reptile...

Additional skill 1: [Facing the Myth] (Passive Skill): You have understood a portion of the universe’s truth. When facing mythical creatures, you are immune to 30% of the physical and magic damage received, and damage is increased by 50%!

Additional Skill 2: [God’s Aura] (Passive Skill): You, who have been stained by the god’s aura, have gained an exceptional ability. In battle, you can release a godly aura, causing awe in creatures lower than Myth-grade. (Has a chance of triggering rigidity, fear, lowered damage, madness, and more negative effects.)

...

After seeing this title’s effects, a hint of confusion flashed involuntarily through Link’s eyes.

These two passive skills were indeed awesome, but they seemed to contain hints of wanting to make him a godslayer.

Increased damage and partial immunity to mythical creatures... It truly made him unable to help but overthink.

But Link wasn’t fearful. He had some unhappy memories with both the God of Death and the Spider God. Thus, he also felt it would be good to become a godslayer.

However, Link also understood that he certainly still had a very long way to go. After all, his current level was still Stage Four.

Although he had killed a large number of monsters, Link required an abnormally large amount of EXP to level up because he had dual professions—one which was also a Taboo-grade one!

Link pondered on while walking out of the building with Yuna.

At this time, a world-wide announcement also sounded in all[Doomsday Online] players’ minds.

[The Blue Star’s first player to face the gods, learn a corner of the universe’s cruel truth, and return safely has appeared! Person who faced the gods: XXX, Profession: Death Judge!]

Boom!

All of a sudden, this announcement could be said to have shaken Blue Star!

Countless people were frozen then and there—as if struck by lightning—unable to utter a word!

Everyone—who was originally watching Link and Yuna walk out of the building and looking full of joy and excitement—was also stunned at that moment!

Both Qiao Ruowei and Luo Xingyao were a little dazed. Confusion was also written all over the No Retreat Army soldiers’ faces!

What situation is this?!

Was there really a God of Evil inside the building?! City Master Link faced that God of Evil?
