Chapter 1079: Chapter 568: Leek Harvesting Sword Technique, Flower Mountain Heaven (Part 2)
But as soon as the mother lion opened its mouth, it generated an infinite suction, and all his various possessions, storage miracle objects, and sacred relics were locked in place. It wasn’t just a matter of fighting back; even he himself was about to fly away and into the opponent’s embrace.
This [Hand of Wealth], relying on its own title’s attraction to wealth, tightly held onto its storage miracle object, barely managing not to have its estate seized on the spot.
But the whole person was still sucked into the air, towards the mouth of the mother lion.
Unable to hold back a panicked shout:
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Heaven, save me—!
I not only have your two crystal skulls in this pocket, but also the proceeds from the first ’Ponzi scheme’. All the money from the Rat People Kingdom is here, it can’t be taken away.
I three, you seven, oh no, everything in this bag is your money!"
Zing—!
Catherine and Byron’s eyes flashed with identical bright golden light.
"Dare to violently collect our family’s money? Truly without a sense of life and death.
Take my sword!"
The Financial Queen, Her Majesty, who had long been eager to try, was faster than Byron, spreading her pale and powerful hand above her head.
Golden divine aura surged from all over her body, and the overwhelming abundant financial power instantly crystallized into a purely golden holy sword of light, her authority—[Financial Holy Sword]!
Within the blade was a soothing sound of countless gold coins flowing, transforming into an aria:
"The Sword Bearer of the Financial Empire, the embodiment of wealth and numbers, the invisible hand behind the veil of the world, [Golden Queen] Her Majesty Catherine..."
Catherine’s three-part honorable title reverberated over the volcanic lake, crossing language barriers, allowing everyone to understand the meaning of this name.
The Quechua people who heard the honorable name, even those who had long worshipped their chief god [Sun God] Inti, instinctively knelt and offered reverence, exclaiming:
"Praise the Golden Queen!"
If one were to list a ranking for all the gods in the world, the wealth god would definitely be among those with the most general believers.
Even those who cry out that they cannot coexist with feudal superstitions, most of their baselines are: "Hold feudal beliefs in contempt, but in the Temple of Wealth, kneel tirelessly."
Not to mention in this extraordinary world where gods truly exist.
Even "love", once something money couldn’t buy, is now managed by the wealth god.
No matter which ethnicity’s wealth god it is, one must worship first before saying anything.
Not getting rich after worshipping is because I’m not devout enough; not getting rich without worshipping is definitely because I haven’t worshipped yet!
Atahualpa, far more knowledgeable than the commoners, knew that having a three-part honorable title doesn’t necessarily make one a god, but being able to receive responses from the world and the source tide surely does.
"How is it possible, even the queen of His Majesty, the Lord of Heaven, has reached the Fifth Order?"
The difference in the essence of life made his heart tremble uncontrollably.
Originally worried that his promotion speed might shock Byron, thinking he ought to comfort him, he never thought in the end he himself should be the one needing comfort.
The ratmen blood descendants under the [Gold-Eating God] brothers sensed danger and immediately turned to hurl themselves towards Catherine in mid-air.
"Squeak squeak squeak, protect our master."
The mainstream forbidden knowledge in the Bantaan Archipelago is the first volume of the "Book of the Beast Kinship", while that of the Southern Continent Safari Paradise is the second volume.
The difference between them is that the main cultivators of the first volume are humans, while the second volume concerns those strange and unique sub-human nature spirits.
Allowing them to perfectly occupy the flesh and blood of certain animals through the "Spirit Descending" ritual, embarking on a path of extraordinary power distinct from humans.
Humans move step by step from human to mythical creatures; they go from beast to human intermediary state, then to mythical creatures, eventually ascending to godhood, being no different from humans once reaching Fifth Order.
It essentially involves reconciling beastliness, human nature, and divinity.
Among them, they spread branches and leaves as Totem Gods, together with human believers, conducting rituals and breeding more bloodline offspring, diluting beastliness, stabilizing anchoring.
Similar to humans’ collective and [Chaos Beast Horde]’s authority, it can partially substitute the anchoring effect of law network with faith and bloodline networks.
This hundred direct blood descendants of ratmen were equivalent to the guardsmen of the Gold-Eating God.
However, though it is possible for a group led by a Fourth Order to surround and assassinate a Fifth Order, their number is far too few.
"Looking for death."
Catherine had long calculated the positions, heights, movement speeds, equipment valuations, and all other information of the two Totem Gods using the Kingdom of Castilia’s "Supreme Sword Technique", and the [Financial Holy Sword] in her hand thunderously descended.
A golden sword light, whose ends were unseen, exploded in mid-air, tearing open the volcanic lake with a gigantic cross-shaped blast revealing the bustling scene within Financial Street.
The wealth dazzled the eyes, captivating the greedy hearts of all the ratmen across, making them not defend, but voluntarily extend their arms to welcome the Financial Queen’s "gift".
When the sword light, filling the sky and earth, gathered again.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Whether it was the group of ratmen jumping mid-air, or the two Fourth Order Totem Gods who managed to dodge temporarily, all froze and immediately exploded into blood mist in mid-air.
Moreover, Catherine’s [Financial] authority autonomously activated.
All gold and silver jewelry, weapons, sacred relics carried by these ratmen, even various spiritual materials of the extraordinary creatures themselves—their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, kidneys, fur, blood, etc.—were all harvested.
It is clear that this is not only the [Supreme Art] capable of national destruction but truly... the Leek Harvesting Sword Technique!
It can freely adjust the height of leek harvesting, cultivating the "fattening for harvest" in one’s own field, and "cutting the roots in one sweep" in others’.
