Overgeared

Chapter 1958

Zeratul was in the recovery period, resting after wrapping up the difficult battles against Trauka, Kubartos, and Judar. The people of the Overgeared World had heard about his accomplishments from Huroi. It was a different feeling from the vague worship he gained as the self-proclaimed Martial God. Every time he felt signs of people praying to Zeratul, and not to the Martial God, he smiled softly. He felt the growing desire to meet their aspirations, and he felt at peace.

[Hmm...]

Zeratul had taken an interest in studying treasures. Each and every one of them possessed interesting features. For example, in the case of weapon-like treasures, they weren’t held and swung like conventional weapons. Instead, specific invocation spells had to be chanted and mana was supplied to move them. At first glance, the way they functioned resembled the way Sword Saint’s Control Sword worked, but it was more accurate to understand them as a tool that amplified the power of one’s will.

[Peculiar. Originally, only a transcendent could use their will as a means of attacking. Even in the case of a transcendent, that was clumsy and weak. Now, anyone can easily do it. Depending on the function of the treasure, it can be used in various fields. Thanks to this mysterious invocation, civilization will develop quite considerably.]

Zeratul sensed his visitor’s aura and spoke while looking at the magical text floating in the air.

“With treasures, the will of an Absolute will be even stronger.”

[Correct. In fact, people like us are the ones who will benefit the most from these treasures. By the way, Grid, why have you come to my place? You didn’t come here just because you wanted to see what I’ve been up to, I assume?]

“Haha, isn’t it polite to check if the number one contributor of the last great battle is recovering well?”

[Number one contributor? Bah, I don't want to flatter myself in front of you, so get to the point.]

“I would like to learn some secret techniques.”

Zeratul arched an eyebrow curiously at Grid, who sat down.

[My secret techniques are of no use to you, right? You can fight with just the skills you have learned already. Plus, haven’t you recently learned Judar’s Multiple Weakening Barriers?]

“This body is different.”

[What does that mean?]

Even Zeratul couldn’t figure out he was speaking with a clone. That was how high quality the body smelted by Grid was.

Grid shrugged and pulled out Defying the Natural Order. Then he slammed it down on his wrist with all his might. Zeratul watched in shock, well aware of what that skill could do. Defying the Natural Order bounced off Grid’s wrist without cutting it.

[What?!]

Zeratul doubted what he was seeing.

The moment the blade of Defying the Natural Order pierced Grid’s skin, a black and gold light flashed, followed by a loud friction sound. There wasn’t a single scratch or drop of blood on Grid’s skin.

[A divine body! Is it a body made of Greed?!!]

“Judar told me how to make it. I took advantage of the nature of Greed, which can think and move on its own, and smelted a body using only that, no other materials.”

[This is amazing! I’ve known for a long time that Greed is a material that defies natural order. Isn’t it greater than the bones of an old dragon?]

“I think, once the status of my body completely surpasses that of an old dragon’s, that Greed will be considered even more powerful than an old dragon’s bones.”

[Indeed. Old dragons are comparable to the Gods of the beginning after all... The status of an old dragon is partly proportional to the number of years they have lived, but the achievements you have accumulated are beyond the value of time. It won't be long before you surpass the dragons’ status.]

Zeratul had complete confidence in Grid. After all, this was the man who had killed Judar and Trauka.
