Chapter 914: Chapter 736: The God Who is Dying but Not Yet Dead_2

"— Devour the dying Forest Master, once sealed in the Far North Lands, drained of vitality, waiting for death. Tired, lethargic, its recovery would take centuries. Now as fragile as a candle in the wind, it was mercilessly whipped by me for its rebellion, taking a great leap towards death. I have extracted blood from its wounds, which is now entrusted to you, to enable you to kill all beings of the natural world."

The second portion of blood is pitch-black, like a nightmarish memory from the deep sea.

"— Devour the dying yet undying Orcian, killed by you, but its remains scattered across the world. It should have died, but its immense power allowed it barely cling to life. I have extracted blood from its corpse in the sea, which is now entrusted to you, to enable you to kill all beings whose ancestors came from the oceans."

The third portion of blood is pale pink, like some kind of tacky cosmetic.

"— Devour the dying-but-not-quite-dead Suzukawa Kiyo, drifting in the Little Galaxy, suffocating, in pain, curled up, constantly dying and ceaselessly creating new cells to divide itself, waiting for death in endless torment. I have extracted blood from her, which is now entrusted to you, to enable you to kill all beings capable of regeneration."

After devouring the blood of three dying yet undying gods, the Godslayer Weapon reveals its sharp edge, shining intensely.

So, only the last portion is needed. Xu Yang pondered silently. A dying yet undying life with divinity is hard to come by. We defeated many formidable creatures, but they lack divinity, such as Yama, whose power equates to the most powerful, frightful Monster, yet lacking even a trace of divinity.

Moreover, most importantly, they were essentially killed, and after death, their nature is claimed by death itself, ineligible to be utilized by the Godslayer Weapon.

Only the dying Forest Master, Orcian, and Suzukawa Kiyo, as they devour Dewdrops and possess divinity, can their deathly aura be employed by the Godslayer Weapon.

"Had we known, we would’ve spared Mack instead of killing him," Xu Yang said.

"It’s difficult. The state of being dying yet not dead is extremely hard to maintain. We simply lack the ability to keep Mack in a half-dead state. Only these three supernatural beings happen to be ’dying yet undying,’ and this state can be preserved long-term, becoming an attribute of themselves, therefore contributing to the evolution of the Godslayer Weapon. If I knew how to manufacture a dying yet undying god, I’d directly put Sally in that state," Farosa murmured.

The Golden Soul was also somewhat close to being dying yet undying, but it doesn’t bleed, so it cannot be absorbed by the Godslayer Weapon.

"Sally is miserable enough. If she were to be beaten into a state of prolonged dying yet not dying... all the Ratmen would lose their Leader and go completely mad," Xu Yang said.

"Anyway, the Godslayer Weapon now only lacks one last thing to truly be honed, as long as we find another ’dying yet undying’ god, I am confident in using it to defeat both Idith and Dilnai," Farosa said, gazing at the Godslayer Weapon before her.

As a mighty weapon designed to kill gods, most of its power was dissipated during the initial slaying of the ancient deity Orcian, and it needs to be re-sharpened.

Xu Yang looked at Farosa, feeling a profound sadness. She must intervene in the Supreme battlefield to protect others, to grapple with the most fearsome monster in the world, which is the noble sacrifice Farosa makes.

Farosa noticed Xu Yang’s gaze, turned to meet his eyes, as if sensing his thoughts.

She revealed a faint smile.

"Are you worried about me being killed? Don’t worry, as long as it’s for our happiness, death cannot threaten me. I’m heading to the battlefield, and this time there is no running away, I’m not afraid of death anymore," she said.

Once the Godslayer Weapon is honed to its final edge, Farosa will appear on the truly highest battlefield to confront the gods who stand against her.

"I don’t want you to take the risk—" Xu Yang emphasized.

"No." Farosa interrupted him, "You once sacrificed for me; you could have become a truly free being, fulfilling your ultimate ideals. At that time, when the world did not have such strong network defenses—if you had abandoned your physical self and become a digital life, you could have ascended as a New God! Detached, free, the rise and fall of civilizations would not alter your eternity. But for me, just for me, so as not to forget me, to return to my side, you personally chose to forego such an opportunity... Listen—Xu Yang, now it’s my turn, my turn to fight for you! Let me pay a price equal to yours!"

Tears shimmered in Farosa’s eyes. When was the last time she cried?

Xu Yang wiped away her tears. Without a doubt, he was once on the verge of complete transformation, possessing the best chance at immortality, yet becoming a mechanical god of the digital realm meant forsaking emotions and severing all ties to the mortal world. Compared to the so-called infinite lifespan and power, he chose Farosa, knowing he made the right choice.

"...And I will help you find the last god who is dead yet alive, to help you sharpen your Godslayer Weapon." Xu Yang promised.

For some reason, whenever the god who is dead yet alive is mentioned, Xu Yang always has visions of "Moonfire" Mond being beheaded by Wei Shiyue with a great axe. A daughter will eventually kill her father, Mond made many prophecies, only this one he did not believe.

Maybe the aura of death around Wei Shiyue is enough for her to attain the state of being dead yet alive, but it’s hard to find her. She is haughty and aloof, going her own way, no longer showing herself and having long since cut all business ties. No one at Nestor Corporation can find her. And even if they could, it’s unlikely she would cooperate with Farosa.

"What about your avatars around the world?" Xu Yang wondered about this.

"...This is what troubles me, one of my avatars in Taixi Continent was killed." Farosa sighed softly.

"Someone actually defeated one of your avatars?" Xu Yang was surprised.

Farosa’s avatars, noted for their many exceptional performances, were capable of handling many tasks even as solitary entities.

"It was slain by the Blood Heir, those reclusive kindred active in the metropolises, they hunted down my avatar, the scene was quite brutal. Otherwise, I would certainly start the search from Taixi Continent." Farosa sighed.

After extinguishing Minamoto Makoto, Farosa had given a fragment of the Throne of God to the progenitor of the Blood Heir; it seemed to have gleaned additional power from that fragment and now has grown even stronger, vaguely seeking to dominate the nights of Taixi Continent.

From Lundinium, Gothenburg, Wasso to Constantinian, there is news about the resurgence of the Blood Heir. Compared to them, it was easy for Farosa’s avatar to be caught and annihilated. However, the relationship between the Blood Heir and "Seven Seals" is not clear; they seem not to have joined the Seven Seals, remaining in a neutral position.

"I will help you, to find an existence that fits the ’god who is dead yet not’ condition as much as possible." Xu Yang said firmly.

"I love you." Farosa said with a touch of melancholy, "After we fight this battle, we will marry in the stars above, you will personally take my hand and propose to me—you promised me, Xu Yang, I want you to promise me."

Xu Yang gazed at her wavering expression. She now had so much—love, power, underlings, servants, and followers—that she couldn’t act as freely and whimsically as she used to. Farosa was now aware, only awaiting to defeat her ultimate enemy; she was not afraid of death, nor running away anymore.

"I promise." Xu Yang clasped Farosa’s hand, "I promise."
