"Is Hagoromo-Gitsune planning to give birth to Abe no Seimei in ten days? Then I'll go take a look. It's much later than expected, probably because of the recent unrest."
After reading the information sent by Yosuzume, Nakano Yu waved his hand, and the letter turned into a pile of black ash, scattering out of the room along with the wind.
Watching the black feather scatter like that, Nakano Yu sighed helplessly.
He didn't know why Yosuzume refused to send him messages by phone, even though he had bought her a phone and set up a SIM card and a Line account. But Yosuzume insisted on plucking her own feathers and using spells to send messages.
Forget it, as long as Yosuzume is satisfied with it. But… Abe no Seimei still has ten days, no, more precisely, about seven or eight days, since Yosuzume's spell takes a day or two to arrive.
He didn't care about the matter of Abe no Seimei. Whether Abe no Seimei became a god was no longer very useful to him, because now he could summon Heretic Gods, as long as he could gather the appropriate divine artifacts and living souls. So, the god-creation spell of Abe no Seimei was useless to Nakano Yu.
Of course, Nakano Yu now wanted to obtain Abe no Seimei's god-creation spell because he was thinking about whether he could use it to raise the power of the Five Sisters and those around him to the rank of subordinate gods.
At present, most of the contractors of his Wing Contract were at the Great Knight rank. For this world, that was acceptable, but in Nakano Yu's eyes, it was not enough, not even close!
The difference in power between a Great Knight and a subordinate god was not just a small gap. Even if a subordinate god is subordinate, he is still a god!
"Speaking of which, the roulette should refresh after today, right?"
Suddenly, Nakano Yu remembered that after today was the day the roulette refreshed. He looked up at the wall clock and realized that there was only half an hour left until midnight.
After leaving the room, taking a shower, and coming back, it was just past midnight. Seeing that, Nakano Yu excitedly opened the system roulette.
The system roulette had already refreshed, and new Authorities had appeared on it.
This time, there were three Authorities on the system roulette: "Devourer of the Sun," "Blessing of Steel," and "Grace of the Lucky Saint."
These three Authorities came from Inobedient God Hanuman, Inobedient God Siegfried, and Inobedient God Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The nature of "Devourer of the Sun" was similar to "Twilight of the Gods," but in terms of functionality, it was stronger than "Twilight of the Gods."
"Devourer of the Sun" could summon a Hanuman phantom. If one's magical power was greater than the opponent's, it could take control of the opponent's light and heat. It also allowed the phantom to carry the user while flying, and its ability could even seal white stars.
However… Nakano Yu currently had quite a few Authorities that countered the sun. Not to mention "Twilight of the Gods," even "Ama-no-Iwato" had abilities aimed at the sun. Secondly, there was "Cut Through," which could cut through anything, even light.
Of course, using "Cut Through" to cut the existence of the sun would definitely be an enormous burden.
But among these three Authorities, "Devourer of the Sun" was not particularly useful to Nakano Yu. He no longer considered it and hesitated between the remaining two Authorities.
"Blessing of Steel" and "Grace of the Lucky Saint." Honestly, Nakano Yu wanted to choose "Grace of the Lucky Saint" more.
The Authority "Blessing of Steel," as its name suggested, was a true defensive ability, and it really was. Using this Authority granted a body of steel, with the only weakness being high temperatures.
But even so, facing high temperatures at the level of solar flares would only cause minor skin damage. Moreover, "Blessing of Steel" could increase the user's weight by hundreds or thousands of times. Although the weight increased, movement would not be greatly affected. It was just that, due to turning into steel, movements would be somewhat stiff.
Even so, this Authority was an extremely powerful ability. If Nakano Yu possessed this Authority, it would be difficult for him to be injured in future battles against Heretic Gods! And even if he were injured, he could simply deactivate "Blessing of Steel" and heal himself using "Cut Through."
Choosing this Authority would definitely bring a huge improvement to Nakano Yu, but…
"Grace of the Lucky Saint," from Inobedient God Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
Rubbing his chin, Nakano Yu recalled in his mind the detailed abilities of this Authority:
This Authority could grant a God Slayer unimaginable luck. It should be known that God Slayers, after killing a god, already possess incomparably strong luck, being favored by the heavens. If they also had this Authority, then they would become Children of the World!
However, this Authority also had drawbacks. While granting luck to the God Slayer, it also brought misfortune to the obstacles of the God Slayer, and that misfortune depended on the strength of the obstacle itself. Even God Slayers would find it difficult to bear such terrifying misfortune.
At the same time, powerful misfortune could also affect the user of the Authority, and the prerequisite for using this Authority was doing good deeds, which could be regarded as a manifestation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
This Authority was similar to an actively controlled passive skill, like a light bulb, which could be freely turned on and off without side effects.
This Authority was related to fate; luck and misfortune essentially encompassed fate. At critical moments, this Authority would produce unexpected effects.
Nakano Yu wanted to choose this Authority in his heart. His intuition told him that this Authority would play a very important role in the future, but "Blessing of Steel" also brought great improvement to the current Nakano Yu.
After a long hesitation, Nakano Yu finally chose his intuition and said:
"System, determine Authority: 'Grace of the Lucky Saint.'"
As Nakano Yu's words fell, the number of uses for selecting an Authority on the roulette decreased by one, and at the same time, Nakano Yu received the related description of the Authority "Grace of the Lucky Saint" in his mind.
However, Nakano Yu did not look at it. "Grace of the Lucky Saint" was not a combat Authority, and it was even uncertain what would happen after using it, so looking at it had no meaning.
At this moment, Nakano Yu looked at the other rewards that had refreshed on the roulette. The roulette refreshed every half month, not only Authorities but also Divine Tools and various other items on the roulette.
There was no need to say much about the various items; they were the same every day. But among the Divine Tools, one that Nakano Yu truly wanted had been refreshed.
It was a sword, a holy sword with half of its blade embedded in stone—Sword of Promised Victory, the beloved sword of the King of Britain, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur!
Also known as the Sword in the Stone, in British legend and history, this sword represented divinity and kingship, but that was not the full essence of this holy sword.
Sword of Promised Victory was obtained from the Lady of the Lake, but in reality, this sword was forged by elves on the Island of Avalon.
Some people might not understand what kind of existence the Island of Avalon is, but Nakano Yu knew it very well!
The Island of Avalon was a sacred place in Celtic mythology, also known as the "Isle of the Blessed" and the "Isle of the Fortunate."
Moreover, the descriptions of the Island of Avalon in mythology were extremely similar to Tir Na Nog in Irish mythology, the Golden Apples of the Hesperides in ancient Greek mythology, and the pure land of bliss, the Garden of Eden, in Jewish mythology!
According to the characteristics of myths, these places might all point to the same island. From this, it could be seen how extraordinary the origin of the Sword of Promised Victory was. Compared to Joyeuse, the prestige of the Sword of Promised Victory was obviously much higher.
"~I still have one ten-pull. Should I try?"
It had to be admitted that Nakano Yu was tempted. Although Joyeuse was quite practical for him, the inability to break the defense of a Heretic God was indeed a problem. Even if he demonized Joyeuse using "[Torn Silver Hand]," it would only be temporarily usable.
If "[Torn Silver Hand]" were cut through like it was earlier by the God of Disobedience Asclepius, then he could only fight in close combat. After all, the damage from a slash of Joyeuse might not even be greater than a punch from Nakano Yu.
And there was also the possibility that the blade could break, which would then bring more trouble than benefit.
Thinking of this, Nakano Yu immediately chose the ten-pull. He had just obtained "Grace of the Lucky Saint," as well as the "lucky snake emblem." He might as well try his luck once more. His transformation from unlucky to lucky would happen tonight!
Thinking this, Nakano Yu turned his hand and immediately took out the "lucky snake emblem." Rubbing the snake symbol, the young man quietly activated "Grace of the Lucky Saint."
"System, ten-pull!"
Nakano Yu thought, and the system immediately responded:
[Ding! Please spin the roulette, host!]
Seeing this, Nakano Yu did not delay. He placed his hand directly on the roulette, then touched the "lucky snake emblem" again. Nakano Yu suddenly used force to spin the roulette.
The roulette spun rapidly, and Nakano Yu watched carefully, feeling incredible tension.
Soon, the speed of the roulette slowed down, and the system message sounded in Nakano Yu's ear:
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained reward: 2,000,000 yen!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Divine Tool: Sword of Promised Victory!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained item: Asgard key Part Three.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained reward: Kasumigaoka Utaha's high socks.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained item...]
The system message had not yet finished, but Nakano Yu no longer had the mood to listen. At this moment, the young man looked at the system roulette, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
What?! He just heard... Asgard key?!
In an instant, Nakano Yu was stunned. It should be known that the asgard key was a necessary Divine Tool for the Eyes of Peeking Fate to travel between worlds. Only with it could one wander through various worlds. Earlier, he had asked Glimpse of Fate how to obtain the asgard key, but the answer he received was that it did not exist in this world.
In other words, the asgard key could not be obtained in the world he was in, but now... he had just drawn it?
Suppressing his excitement, Nakano Yu noticed something strange. Wasn't the asgard key a Divine Tool? Why did the system message say it was an ordinary item?
And... what does "Asgard key Part Three" mean?
Confused, Nakano Yu opened the description for "Asgard key Part Three." However, the content immediately darkened Nakano Yu's face, and he cursed inwardly.
