Chapter 637: Chapter 637: The Death of Ivier (Two More Updates, 9000 Votes for Monthly Pass)

He Ao was never short of Transcendent items with all sorts of strange abilities.

For example...

He suddenly gathered all his strength and repelled Ivier’s incoming strike, then withdrew his bone sword, placing his palm behind his back, and a piece of paper emitting a grey glow, resembling a page, appeared in the palm of his hand.

The Forged Pages of Knowledge.

This page could glimpse the most essential knowledge in the world, but one could only ask three questions, and they must not exceed C-level.

This was a reward he obtained the seventh time he officially settled a Copy World, at that time, he asked a question and obtained the formula and rituals for Super Memory and the Magician’s subsequent sequences.

Now, he had the quota for two more questions.

While fending off Ivier’s renewed attacks, he contemplated his question in his mind.

First, he asked about all the knowledge corresponding to the energy circuit in this hall.

However, the page trembled slightly and did not respond, apparently exceeding the C-level threshold.

But He Ao hadn’t expected a direct answer to this question, he was just testing the waters.

He reconstructed in his mind all the energy circuits he had observed, then discarded those that were obviously B-level, the golden bracelets, and asked again.

This time, he still received no answer.

Then he removed the obviously peripheral energy circuits and weakened the main circuit’s energy intensity.

He then asked the page about all the knowledge involved with this kind of energy circuit.

This time, the page trembled, and He Ao moved it closer to the Miracle Wand.

With a violent shake, rows of dense text emerged on the page.

Indeed, as He Ao expected, after excluding the core Transcendent items and retaining only the main part, the Array’s design, though clever, had a core knowledge level that did not exceed C-level.

The person who left the items behind was unlikely to set the bar too high, as even in the Copy World, B-level individuals were extremely rare, and in the ruins, He Ao had seldom found traces of B-level beings’ activities.

Therefore, it was unlikely that the energy circuit required understanding of B-level knowledge to comprehend.

He Ao’s actions were swift, but even so, juggling the page in one hand and combating Ivier with the other, he had sustained several more wounds.

Seizing the interval between attacks, he erupted with power and widened the distance between himself and Ivier.

He then took the opportunity to swiftly glance at the contents on the page before immediately stowing away the page.

"What was that thing you just held?"

Ivier watched He Ao’s movements.

"Guess."

He Ao smiled, drew his Murderous Bone Sword, and charged at Ivier once again.

The knowledge noted by Super Memory was rapidly deconstructed in his mind, modeling and analyzing the entire energy circuit’s operational rules.

At this moment, he also understood the main function of the energy circuit, ’enhancement’.

It was a circuit built through Martial Arts power, intended for the enhancement of something specific.

This kind of enhancement was different from the direct strengthening of weapons through Divine Sense by He Ao; it acted more like an amplifier, enhancing the overall original performance of the item.

For instance, if something was originally sharp, it would become even sharper; if it was originally swift, it would become swifter.

Moreover, this enhancement was not limited by a level; as long as the Divine Sense provided was sufficient, even B-level entities or Angels could be enhanced.

And the main function of the energy circuit in this hall was to enhance the effect of the golden bracelet in the center.

Of course, the abilities of this energy circuit must not be so simple; there must be other structures to stabilize the entire circuit, allowing it to continue running for hundreds or thousands of years.

But this part of the knowledge, likely hidden within those branch circuits and surpassing C-level, could not be obtained through The Forged Pages of Knowledge.

However, for He Ao at this moment, the C-level knowledge related to the main circuit was immensely beneficial.

As he deciphered the knowledge of the entire hall’s energy circuit, he was also rapidly integrating his own understanding into the combat.

Previously, he had channeled the entirety of his strength to his arms and other specific limbs, momentarily enhancing their power, but such utilization of strength was actually not very efficient.

Indeed, he could reorganize the gathered high-intensity energy and make it circulate through his body along a certain highly efficient enhancement route, constructing a special Strengthening Circuit within.

The Divine Sense that He Ao had crudely attached to his weapons could also be structured into a Strengthening Circuit on the weapons, following the energy guidance methods provided in those knowledge.

And the specific effect was this:

Without feeding any Energy Blocks, the mechanical broadsword in He Ao’s hands erupted with intense flames under the enhancement of the Divine Sense. Then, he gathered strength in his arms, formed a Strengthening Circuit, and swung the broadsword to meet the charging Ivier.

Bang——

Ivier was fiercely sent flying, crashing into the silver wall.

Getting up from the ground, Ivier looked at He Ao somewhat dazedly, "Did you also receive the Blessing of some unknown entity?"

"I usually don’t borrow strength like this."

A slight smile appeared on He Ao’s blood-stained cheek.

The force that had burst forth in that one strike was at least thirty percent stronger than usual, yet the energy consumption was only a third of before, and the damage to his body was far less than before.

At that moment, he felt his past self was like a brute who only knew how to apply force.

This newly acquired knowledge exceeded his expectations, a pleasant surprise indeed.

"No matter what kind of power you pleaded for, it’s already too late now."

Ivier lifted his spear, "The gap in our strengths has already been established."

He Ao watched Ivier.

What Ivier said was not wrong; even with enhanced amplification, He Ao had only narrowed the gap with Ivier.

One reason was that he hadn’t completely assimilated that knowledge, and the other was that his body was actually quite weak now, with the energy inside gradually depleting, no longer as freely available as during his peak.

However, at this moment, his basic analysis of the energy circuit of the entire hall had also been completed.

The instant Ivier attacked again, He Ao did not hesitate to retreat backwards, with the aid of the Strengthening Circuit, he rapidly widened the gap between them in a very short time and landed on the edge of the glass curtain wall.

Then, he directly drew out his bone sword, the Divine Sense forming a Strengthening Circuit attached to the bone sword, and he thrust it towards the spot where the glass wall connected with the silver metal wall.

Here it is!

With effort, he levered up, the blade penetrating the metal wall and carving out a small hole.

This time, both the entire glass wall and the entire energy circuit showed no problems whatsoever, as if He Ao had done nothing at all.

He Ao pulled out his bone sword and looked inside the small hole.

Inside the hole was a narrow space that looked like a vent, connecting the inner and outer sides of the glass curtain wall.

And in this space, there lay quietly a green brooch adorned with gemstone petals.

He Ao reached out and took the brooch.

His gaze turned to the skeletons behind the glass wall.

This was the ’relic’ left for the ’descendants’ by that skeleton.

The real hiding place for the treasure was not at the top; the skeleton looking upwards was just intended to make the descendants aware of the special energy circuit there.

And those who knew about these energy circuits would naturally follow this special point, finding the cause that affected it, thereby discovering this concealed vent and obtaining the brooch inside.

Of course, digging through the metal wall also required skill; one must excavate in the direction of the energy circuit’s flow at just the right moment, otherwise the entire energy circuit would be touched, leading to a severe backlash.

The instant He Ao obtained the brooch, Ivier’s attack followed closely behind.

He Ao turned his head, looking towards Ivier, and just as he turned, Ivier’s spear tip brushed past his cheek and slammed into the wall behind.

He Ao made no evasive maneuvers, but naturally avoided Ivier’s attack.

Ivier’s brows furrowed, he exerted force violently, intending to sweep his spear tip across.

But his movement was not smoothly executed; he had applied too much force, driving the spear tip into the wall. Under the immense force, the spear bent but did not break free.

And at that moment, He Ao had already lifted the bone sword he had drawn and stabbed towards his body.

He violently jerked back his spear to block, barely managing to stop He Ao’s attack.

"What is that thing?"

Ivier looked at the brooch in He Ao’s hand.

"Just a B-level Transcendent item."

He Ao pinned the brooch onto his chest.

Lucky Brooch.

The person wearing the Lucky Brooch would receive the favor of destiny, even though the favor of destiny was often fickle and expensive.

Ivier glanced at the brooch, smiled faintly, "It looks like it’s over?"

This brooch was enough to erase the already slim gap between the two, and even create a new gap.

"Yes."

He Ao raised his sword and stabbed towards Ivier’s throat.

Ivier parried with his spear, the weapon already marked with sword and blade wounds blocked the empowered bone sword.

Bang—

At the instant of collision, the sturdy spear exploded with a bang, breaking into two parts.

Ivier looked on dumbfounded.

This spear had withstood countless attacks without issue, bearing only a few scratches.

But this time, just one minor collision, like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, shattered the seemingly indestructible spear.

"It seems that your Transcendent item is stronger than I imagined."

Ivier brought his hands together, placing the two broken spear parts in an ’X’ shape to block He Ao’s assault.

He Ao swung his sword, coordinating with the mechanical broadsword, slashing at Ivier from above and below.

Ivier parted the broken spear and managed to block He Ao’s attacks from both sides.

Their power balance hadn’t really changed, but after the spear broke, Ivier’s ’momentum’ had already completely drained away.

Ivier could have blocked this strike, but as he exerted himself, the wound on his left hand that was blocking the bone sword suddenly tore open, reaching the muscle fascia and causing his movement to stiffen.

The bone sword, strengthened by Divine Sense, effortlessly penetrated his defense, slicing along his shoulder and down his chest.

At this moment, he suddenly withdrew his hand, throwing aside the half of the broken spear that was blocking the bone sword, and directly grasped the blade of the sword, blood flowing down from his palm.

He Ao exerted a little force, but didn’t pull out the hilt; he too let go, both hands gripping the mechanical broadsword.

Simultaneously, an Energy Block appeared in his hand, fed into the broadsword.

With supercharged energy and a strengthening circuit powered by Divine Sense, a blazing radiance emerged on the mechanical broadsword that made the entire world seem dim in comparison.

He Ao lifted the broadsword and ferociously slashed at Ivier’s head.

Ivier released the bone sword he was holding, both hands gripped the remaining half of the spear, and blocked this strike.

Then his body stiffened.

Blood overflowed from his throat.

As he made the slash, He Ao had already withdrawn his right hand and used Retrieve Objects from the Air to regain the bone sword; enhanced by Divine Sense, the tip of the sword flicked upwards, piercing through Ivier’s throat.

That blazing broadsword was just a feint to grab attention.

He Ao withdrew his sword, retracted the mechanical broadsword, and took two steps back.

Blood uncontrollably streamed out from Ivier’s throat.

The bone sword pierced not just his throat, but also his energy convergence point.

He watched He Ao, a smile on his face, "Sometimes, I really envy that sword of yours, how it can appear in your hands at any moment."

He leaned forward, kneeling on the ground, "From the moment I first saw you, I knew that if I didn’t kill you, I would be killed by you."

He laughed softly, slowly closing his eyes, "I find myself missing the World Tree, indeed, power only tastes sweet when there’s someone to wield it."

His body completely fell forward, crashing to the ground.

He was dead.

He Ao closed his Super Memory, his body stumbling for a moment as if all his strength had been sapped away in an instant, falling back and sitting against a wall.

The wounds on his body that had previously closed up were torn open again due to the stumble.

In that instant, blood covered his body, dyeing him a bloodied figure.

With trembling hands covered in blood, he took off the brooch from his chest and tucked it into his pocket.

The favor of fate began to retract its price.

Luck and misfortune always accompany each other.

Ivier was one of the most troublesome enemies He Ao had encountered so far.

Cunning, powerful, experienced in combat, and crazy enough.

But when he realized the tide had turned against him, he chose not to surrender or flee, but to fight until the very last moment.

All his attacks against He Ao were lethal moves; as he said, he would give He Ao a quick death.

And so, He Ao also granted him a quick death.

In fact, He Ao had also reached his limit, if he hadn’t found the Lucky Brooch, he might have used the Miracle Wand.

"Sir, you don’t seem to be in good shape."

At this moment, the miniature computer that He Ao had put in his pocket before the fight made a sound.

He Ao slowly took out the computer.

The good news was that it still worked; the bad news was that the screen was completely shattered, only the speaker and microphone could still be used.

"There is a medical room near the control room," the gentle voice of A02 said, "you can receive treatment there, but the medical room is currently locked, you need certain permissions to open it."

He Ao glanced at the skeleton behind the glass wall, "Like the First Mate’s Authority?"

"First Mate’s Authority can open the medical room."

A02 said calmly, "You can destroy the glass wall of the Core Control Room to obtain the First Mate’s Authority Key."

He Ao’s gaze lingered on that wall.

This glass wall appeared unremarkable, but in actuality, it was connected to the entire hall’s energy circuit.

Destroying the glass wall would break the entire hall’s energy circuit.

He Ao looked away, pulling out a can from the Pirate Treasure Box, stuffing a piece of meat from it into his mouth, and as he chewed, he softly asked, "A02, why have you been set to your current appearance?"

"According to survey data, a gentle and harmless girl’s image is more likely to gain trust, in order to reduce communication barriers, so I have been set to this appearance," A02 answered gently.

"For trust, huh," He Ao swallowed the rough piece of meat and took another from the can, placing it in his mouth, "Then, is that colored ring on the edge of your pupil, which has a visual hypnotic effect, also for eliciting trust?"

"The presence of the Colored Pupil Ring can reduce communication barriers between A02 and humans."

A02 maintained the same calm and gentle tone.

In the empty vastness of the hall, only the quiet sound of He Ao chewing on his can of meat echoed.

Thump thump thump—

Clear footsteps came from the direction of the gate, growing louder as they approached.

He Ao tucked away the can and looked up, gazing in the direction of the gate.
