While Asuna was engulfed in despair and forced to a dead end because of her archenemy, Vali, called the Strongest White Dragon Emperor in History.
The ranking announced on the Divine Artifact List made the Gods feel somewhat disbelieving, and directly suppressed their previous interest in this generation's Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
[Rank 21: Vajra]
[Owner: Indra]
[Owner's Race: God]
[Introduction: Divine Artifact of Mount Sumeru's Ruler, Indra. Has two core characteristics: 'certain kill' and 'certain victory'. Capable of intervening in causality and destiny, making victory's balance tilt. A god spear of 'certain kill and certain victory' that can even defeat Gods in one strike...]
[Ranking Gift: Divine Authority Enhancement (Three-Fold)]
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Regarding the Divine Artifact of this War God and Eastern Heaven Emperor, both Gods and ordinary people had some understanding, so they weren't too shocked.
Except Indra, who was at Mount Sumeru's ninth heaven, he furrowed his brow.
"Only at rank 21 on the Divine Artifact List, huh."
Clearly, same as Thor from the Norse Pantheon and Zeus from the Greek Pantheon before, he wasn't too satisfied with his Divine Artifact Vajra's ranking. Moreover, Ranking Gift: Divine Authority Enhancement (Three-Fold) was a decent increase for Devil King-limit-level powerhouses, but for Transcendents like him, it could exist or not.
"Only the top 10 of the Dimensional List can be useful for Transcendents!" Indra said heavily.
His Divine Artifact, Vajra, was still far from the top 10 of the Divine Artifact List. He must increase its quality many times over at the next Divine Artifact List announcement. Only this way, there was a possibility to directly enter the top 10 of the Divine Artifact List.
For those standing at the world's peak, the Transcendents, ranking gifts below the top 10 of the Dimensional List could be ignored, while top 10 ranking gifts were opportunities that must be seized by any means, especially top 3, which were related to The Other Side Realm.
Not a single Transcendent wasn't tempted.
"Cao Cao's Longinus Spear should be able to enter the top 10 of the Divine Artifact List. Unfortunately, Sacred Gears operating under the Heaven System, even if the Gods obtained them, they would just become a pile of scrap iron."
Indra regretted in his heart. However, when he saw the ranking appearing on the Divine Artifact List, his eyes widened.
"That Fallen Angel child, has actually reached this level..."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
[Rank 20: Down Fall Dragon Spear]
[Owner: Azazel]
[Owner's Race: Fallen Angel]
[Introduction: Artificial Sacred Gear created by the Fallen Angel Governor, sealing Dragon King Fafnir. A Sacred Gear made entirely for Fallen Angels. Capable of performing Balance Breaker, Down Fall Dragon Another Armor. Its power has surpassed ordinary Longinus-class Sacred Gears...]
[Ranking Gift: Extreme Sacred Gear Modification]
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"Azazel can actually create Artificial Sacred Gears that surpass Longinus-class Sacred Gears!"
"Somewhat difficult to imagine..."
"...The imitation version actually surpasses the original Sacred Gears!!!"
"..."
This time, never mind ordinary people, even the Gods found it difficult to believe. They acknowledged that the Artificial Sacred Gears created by Azazel were very impressive.
However, in the Gods' eyes, there should still be much difference from Longinus-class Sacred Gears created by the God of the Bible.
Imitation version Artificial Sacred Gears shouldn't possibly be better than original Sacred Gears.
However, this extraordinary thing happened before their eyes, with no room to refute.
The Down Fall Dragon Spear created by Azazel, not only surpassed ordinary Sacred Gears, but also surpassed Longinus-class Sacred Gears in general. This was already a very extraordinary achievement.
The Gods' and powerhouses' gazes were fixed toward Grigori, their eyes filled with slight passion.
If there was Azazel's help, perhaps their respective weapons' rankings on the Divine Artifact List could rise higher. Instantly, Azazel's status in the Gods' and powerhouses' eyes skyrocketed.
There were even those preparing to 'invite' Azazel to be a guest at their Pantheons and powers after the Divine Artifact List announcement finished.
They would pay whatever he asked, as long as he could help them reforge their respective weapons to be stronger.
Meanwhile, Azazel, as the concerned party, was filled with bitter smiles.
"This time I went too far. That person surely did it deliberately, deliberately attracting the Gods' attention to me, so she could smoothly recover her wounds."
The appearance of the Down Fall Dragon Spear in his hand had changed drastically. From a purple orb, it had transformed into a long purple spear filled with holy power. Six pairs of black wings symbolizing Fallen Angels and impurity were embedded at the spear shaft's tip.
Holiness and Impurity.
Two very contradictory powers appeared in this Down Fall Dragon Spear.
It should be known, since Azazel fell, the holy power within him had already become murky. However, the holy power in the Down Fall Dragon Spear was truly the same as what he possessed when still a Seraphim.
Azazel of course didn't have the ability to perfectly combine Seraphim holy power with Fallen Angel impurity. The only one who could do this was only the Creator of everything, the God of the Bible.
Now, the Down Fall Dragon Spear in his hand had just been modified by the supreme holy power that suddenly appeared. During this period, he could only witness his beloved masterpiece be magically modified by others. Although his heart bled, he had no choice at all, because the owner of this supreme holy power originated from the God of the Bible.
Although Azazel was very dissatisfied that someone tinkered with his masterwork.
He also had to acknowledge, without the other party's modification, Down Fall Dragon Spear at most would be equivalent to Regulus Nemea, and surely wouldn't be able to surpass Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing.
"What does she actually want to do?! I don't believe she only wants to attract the Gods' attention to me."
Azazel denied his previous speculation.
He felt that the God of the Bible modifying Down Fall Dragon Spear with difficulty, surely wouldn't be wasted like that. Perhaps there was a deeper purpose, it's just he couldn't see it for now.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Meanwhile, in the Dimensional Rift.
Sei, who was recovering from wounds in seclusion, opened her bright and very holy eyes. She seemed to see Azazel who was thinking hard.
"Fortunately the Divine Artifact List didn't reveal the true purpose of this Down Fall Dragon Spear."
"Hikaru, the chess piece I prepared for you is ready."
"Next, it's up to you."
Sei lastly looked toward where Hikaru was, then closed her eyes and continued her seclusion.
