Chapter 95: Chapter295-Valhalla Meeting
Just the first three lines alone stunned John.
He had never expected the effects of Arcane Nullification to be this exaggerated!
He continued reading.
...
[The Thread of Soul tempers the blade of the mind, tearing through ignorance and seeing into the essence of all things, leaving no obstruction wherever the gaze falls.
The Thread of Law forges an eternal barrier for the soul. Even the whispers of the abyss cannot corrode the mind in the slightest.
The Thread of Bloodline allows the wielder to resonate with the source of the universe, unfolding the mysteries of law before them like an open book.
This Divine Art uses the six great sources as its foundation to open the gates of the body’s Sacred Treasuries.
[Skill Effects]:
Fate Sacred Treasury: Warns of ill omens and helps avoid disaster.
Elemental Sacred Treasury: Immune to all mundane binding powers below law level.
Causality Sacred Treasury: Steals the vitality of heaven and earth to nourish oneself. As long as vitality does not run dry, the physical body will not perish.
Soul Sacred Treasury: Divine sense range and strength increased by one hundred times. This effect increases as strength grows.
Law Sacred Treasury: The soul does not fall, and all evil cannot invade below law level.
Bloodline Sacred Treasury: Law comprehension speed increased by twenty percent.
"Ridiculously strong."
After carefully reading the skill description, John could not help muttering softly.
Every one of the Eight Divine Arts could be called heaven-defying, and after being upgraded by skill scrolls, the enhanced versions surpassed their grade entirely. They were like bugs embedded into the rules themselves.
"At present, I’ve already mastered Universal Divine Incantation, Sacred Body Source Flow, Divine Refining Enchantment, Divine Ability: Mystic Gate, and Arcane Nullification."
"I’m still missing Soul Seizure, Hand of God, and Saint’s Insight."
Just as John was calculating this, a prompt suddenly rang beside his ears.
[Ding! Valhalla has issued you an exclusive quest. Please check it.]
[Prompt: New content has been added to your quest bar. Please check the details yourself.]
John raised his brows.
Valhalla finally had a quest?
To be honest, even now, he still did not know the true meaning behind this organization’s existence.
In his previous life, he had never come into contact with Valhalla. In this life, although he had joined it, there had never been any movement.
He had even once thought that this organization was merely an empty shell.
Thinking this, John opened his quest bar and checked.
[Valhalla Quest · Rise of the Human Race]
[Quest Type]: Exclusive Quest
[Special Mark]: Guild Leader-led
[Quest Objective]: Lead Valhalla members to occupy the Netherworld.
[Advance Reward]: World Balance Decree ×1
[Reward After Completion]: Mysterious Grand Gift
[Ding! You have claimed the advance reward for the Valhalla quest!]
[Prompt: You have obtained World Balance Decree.]
John was no stranger to the World Balance Decree. He had used it once before when killing Balor, the demon race High God, and its effect could only be described as heaven-defying.
He put the decree into his backpack and looked at the quest details again.
The Netherworld...
And there was also a mysterious grand gift. What could it be?
John stopped thinking too much. With a flip of his wrist, he took out the token flowing with dark-golden luster.
The Greater Holy Grail.
He injected divine power into it, and his figure instantly disappeared from where he stood.
Holy Grail Space.
Several figures were already seated at the long conference table.
The main seat naturally belonged to John.
On the left sat Holly, code name 2. She rested her chin on both hands, staring blankly at the tabletop with lifeless eyes. Her youthful face was filled with boredom.
On the right was Odelle, code name 1. Her eyes were slightly closed, and one hand slowly stroked the snow-white cat-beast curled up on her lap. A calm and intellectual aura surrounded her.
At that moment—
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly appeared at the other end of the conference table.
It was a woman so beautiful that she seemed almost demonic.
If Holly’s beauty was youthful and pure, and Odelle’s beauty was intellectual and serene, then this woman possessed a bewitching beauty that sank into the bones and stirred the soul.
A tight long robe patterned with white bones outlined her perfect curves. Her dark-green hair fell to her waist, and a faint undead aura lingered around her.
She was Silt, code name 3.
The moment Silt appeared, Holly’s blank gaze instantly became lively, and Odelle’s slightly closed eyes suddenly opened as well. She warily sized up the newcomer.
However, the few of them had already communicated in Valhalla’s group chat before, so they could not exactly be considered strangers.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the meeting officially began.
"Next, we are going to occupy the Netherworld."
John went straight to the point, his tone as calm as if he were arranging an ordinary dungeon run.
"I have the World Balance Decree in hand. The Netherworld’s High God-level powerhouses are not worth worrying about."
"But..." Odelle frowned slightly, her fingertip gently tapping the table. "Every spatial passage between the Netherworld and the human world was already sealed by the Netherworld itself when the demon race was destroyed."
"Then we just break through, right?" Holly’s eyes flashed as she smiled. "I’ll split it open with one sword!"
"That won’t work." Odelle shook her head with a bitter smile. "We don’t even know the exact coordinates of the Netherworld’s spatial passages. Where would you swing?"
John did not answer. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Silt.
"We don’t know, but Silt should."
When Holly and Odelle heard this, they both looked toward Silt.
Silt smiled slightly, shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks.
"There is no need to make it so troublesome."
She spoke, her voice carrying a faint, ethereal magnetism.
"I can directly tear open the plane barrier between the Netherworld and the human world."
"Wow!"
When Holly heard this, she immediately gave her a thumbs-up.
"Big Sister is so domineering! Big Sister is amazing!"
Odelle’s eyes lit up, and she nodded slightly.
If that was truly possible, it would save them the trouble of searching for a passage.
John nodded and directly announced,
"This operation to occupy the Netherworld requires all Valhalla members to participate."
"So this time, all of you will go on campaign with me."
"Silt will remain stationed in the Netherworld. When the time comes, we will rendezvous inside the Netherworld and act according to the situation."
"Of course, the first step is for Silt to break the plane barrier between the Netherworld and the human world."
When Silt heard this, she bowed slightly.
"To return to the human camp and fight side by side with everyone is also my wish."
"Besides, I am already a member of Valhalla."
"I am more than willing to serve the organization."
Seeing that everything had been arranged properly, John did not say anything more.
He paused briefly, then suddenly asked,
"Do any of you know that beyond this cosmic starry sky, there are many top powers far beyond the myriad-race universe?"
Holly, Odelle, and Silt all silently shook their heads.
Their individual strength might be outstanding, but compared with John, there was still a clear gap in terms of opportunities and knowledge.
Their understanding of the world beyond the myriad-race universe was almost zero.
John took in their expressions and calmly added,
"Above demigod is High God. Above High God is God King. Above God King is Sovereign."
"Right now, all of us are still at demigod grade, while the so-called giants of the myriad-race universe are merely peak High Gods."
"The true existences who overlook star domains are far more than that."
