Chapter 309: A mere ten units of Authority, he doesn't feel the pain at all! Really

Upon hearing this, the hair-raising smile on the Holy Son's face vanished, replaced by a look of utter coldness.

"They really know how to name their price."

Fifty units of Authority? Do you know the price of a single unit of Authority?

A single unit of Authority is enough to forge an Avatar of Four-Digit Exceptional, or to cultivate a powerhouse of Four-Digit Exceptional.

Moreover, the vast majority of Three-Digit beings cannot produce any Authority other than their own primary combat Authority.

Currently, as for things like Authority, only large God Groups might have a surplus of one or two.

Of course, if you are talking about cutting into one's own Authority to split off a unit, as long as one isn't stupid, no one would generally do such a thing.

The vast majority of Authorities used for trade are those that Three-Digit beings have painstakingly re-woven over thousands of years based on their own Authority, and the energy and resources spent on this are not insignificant.

Generally speaking, a Three-Digit Demon King might not even be able to sell a single unit of Authority.

These fifty units of Authority are enough to hollow out an average large God Group, or even pack up and sell the Main God of that God Group.

Even if the Cross Religion is wealthy, it is impossible to be this prodigal.

"Is this assuming I will definitely buy it?"

The Holy Son sneered twice and looked in the direction of Arcadia.

In that direction, he seemed to see Su Nian and Shiroyasha, that pair of Main God and Retainer, lying on a bed, waiting for him to send the Authority over.

"Isn't it just ten units of Authority... I can still afford it."

The Holy Son said through gritted teeth; after all, he was a Two-Digit being, so he wouldn't be unable to produce even ten units of Authority.

If he couldn't even produce these, he couldn't imagine what kind of information Su Nian, Shiroyasha, and that unknown Poet who pioneered Hell jokes would conjure up to sell.

Afterwards, the Holy Son closed his eyes, and with a dark face, he split off a strand of consciousness and viciously threw ten units of Authority toward Shiroyasha as if throwing a meteor.

It nearly hit Shiroyasha.

However, upon discovering it was Authority, Shiroyasha didn't feel angry at all; she was all smiles.

"Just as Su Nian said, it really does rain Authority from the sky."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Son's expression grew even darker; if not for the fact that he couldn't beat Shiroyasha, he would really want to drag her out now and fight a few rounds with her in the outside world.

And when the Holy Son's mind returned, Diguang Buddha on the side had a look of wanting to say something but hesitating.

"Actually... Heavenly Lord Holy Son, there is no need to buy it out for as long as a week; it can be adjusted..."

The Holy Son had paid so readily that even he felt a bit embarrassed.

Moreover, Thousand Eyes has always been very humane in selling information: five units of Authority for a one-day buyout, and then one unit of Authority for each subsequent day.

Buy five days and get two days free.

It was only because the Holy Son was so angry that his reason evaporated that he overlooked this matter.

As the words fell, the air became silent at this moment.

The Holy Son had never wanted to tear a guy's mouth apart so much before.

Isn't this mouth of the Buddhism sect, after being "consecrated," a bit too poisonous?

He looked at Diguang Buddha, gritting his teeth, and said word by word.

"Can't I afford it? Can't I have a little more margin for error for seven days?"

A mere ten units of Authority, he doesn't feel the pain at all! Really, not painful at all...

"Yes, yes, Heavenly Lord Holy Son certainly can."

Diguang Buddha nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.

His intuition told him that the Holy Son at this moment was already on the verge of a breakdown, and if he made another mistake.

The Holy Son before him would really disregard the face of the Buddhism sect and tear him apart, skinning and eating him alive.

Afterwards, Diguang Buddha began to explain and introduce the information regarding the premature summoning of the Last King.

"I believe, Heavenly Lord Holy Son, you should know that the cause of this God Slayer War was when the Queen's Knight, King Arthur, was observing other worlds and observed a world codenamed 'Godslayer'."

"And in that world, he became the Last King, triggering a History Conversion Period and returning to Little Garden."

"But the coordinates of this world were bought out by Thousand Eyes, or rather, to avoid causing chaos, those two took action."

"In other words, the Godslayer, the Heretic Gods, the Last King, and the Dark Christmas Season all originated from that world."

"And the method to awaken the Last King was also discovered in that world."

"And in that world, the Last King was bestowed a weapon named the Savior Divine Blade by the gods and fate; this was a collection of countless armaments obtained from the gods in the sky by the Savior when he was saving the world and purging the Demon Kings."

"And obviously, in Little Garden, this possibility naturally did not converge here; King Arthur should only have all the armaments of the Celtic Divine Group in his hands."

"Therefore, as long as you, Heavenly Lord Holy Son, are willing to sacrifice the Artifacts of the Cross Religion to forge a Savior Divine Blade, you will be able to awaken the Last King and make up for the deficiency of his weapons."

After listening to Diguang Buddha's information, the Holy Son sat down, tapping the table rhythmically, and fell into deep thought.

The truth is, ever since that rumor—which was not a rumor—spread, his status within the Cross Religion has not been very stable.

The Cross Religion is no longer his word alone.

Wanting the Cross Religion to offer up all its armaments, even if it is only conceptually summonable and usable, is a bit difficult.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly tilted his head and looked at Diguang Buddha.

His intuition told him that Diguang Buddha must have hidden something again; there is definitely the handiwork of those old things from the Buddhism sect in this.

"Actually... Heavenly Lord, an Artifact is not impossible, it's just that the probability might be a bit low, and it might be a bit troublesome in terms of the ritual."

Diguang Buddha said while trembling; aside from Su Nian's remote control, his current behavior was all his own improvisation.

It's just that before coming, Su Nian told him that as long as he could get the Holy Son to forge all the Cross Religion's armaments into the Savior Divine Blade, he could reward him with an Authority.

But now it seems this reward is likely gone.

Of course, the purpose of this behavior, in essence, was to lower the Holy Son's suspicion of Diguang Buddha's actions and deepen his stereotype of people from the Buddhism sect, especially the Artificial Buddha Lineage.

One must know that the Artificial Buddha Lineage is capable of making believers fund the forging of Golden Bodies, which shows how destitute and shameless they are.

And he, Diguang Buddha, is the one who betrayed Tongtian Jiaozhu in the "Investiture of the Gods," so that goes without saying.

Therefore, even when meeting a Two-digit, he was bold enough to take a cut here, which was not something he couldn't do.

He made the Holy Son bleed heavily, so Su Nian naturally would not be stingy with the reward.

Hearing this, the Holy Son stared at Diguang Buddha, stared for a long time, and then spoke.

"I hope there won't be a next time; you should understand what I mean."

Diguang Buddha nodded vigorously; there would not be, there would definitely not be a next time.

A mere Authority, how could it compare to his own little life?

The most tragic thing in the world is when a person dies but the money hasn't been spent yet, leaving it for others for nothing.

However, the Holy Son also breathed a sigh of relief; in a sense, the signal of this news could be seen as Thousand Eyes showing goodwill and seeking peace with him.

Giving the Holy Son a chance to become the Last King in advance, avoiding a confrontation between Su Nian and the Holy Son during the God Slayer War, and helping him lock in the final victory ahead of schedule.

Sending him directly into the final circle.

In his view, this meant it was compensation given by the two goddesses; he certainly wouldn't think that Shiroyasha and Su Nian would allow this news to be sold to him.

Not causing trouble for him was already quite good.

A smile also appeared on the Holy Son's face, but this smile was exceptionally cold.

He accepted this compensation, and he could let bygones be bygones regarding the past, but if there were a next time.

Then don't blame him for being impolite.

At the same time, Su Nian, who was counting the spoils with Shiroyasha and Algol in Arcadia, could not help but sneeze.

"Who is thinking of me again?"

Su Nian rubbed his nose, never imagining that the trap he set for the Holy Son would actually be taken as a gesture of goodwill?

After thinking for a long time without understanding, Su Nian chose to continue happily dividing the spoils with them.

On the other side, the Holy Son was also taking Diguang Buddha to prepare for the ritual to summon the Last King.

Although he despised Diguang Buddha, an Artificial Buddha with a poor reputation in Buddhism, who else had the intelligence provided by Thousand Eyes in his brain?

Although it wasn't that he couldn't recite it, Thousand Eyes had set restrictions; extracting this memory was not allowed, it could not be written down, and could only be narrated orally.

It could be considered a method to prevent information from being resold.

Of course, some old hands certainly had ways to circumvent this, but unfortunately, Diguang Buddha did not have such means.

And the Holy Son was also disgusted and did not want to extract Diguang Buddha's memory; if he accidentally triggered the measures, it would be bad if the information he spent ten Authorities to purchase became distorted.

Therefore, although the Holy Son was disgusted, he had to bring Diguang Buddha along and leave the arrangement of the ritual and other matters to him.

"Your Excellency Holy Son, please cast a powerful and famous weapon into the ritual."

After setting up the ritual, the Holy Son took out a bright red long spear and inserted it into the center of the ritual.

Seeing this long spear, Diguang Buddha was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the Holy Son with some confusion.

No, what is the meaning of you giving the Spear of Longinus, which once pierced yourself, to the Last King?

Unable to understand the thoughts of these big shots, Diguang Buddha shook his head helplessly and continued to preside over the ritual to awaken the Last King.

"Your Excellency Holy Son, one more prop for the ritual preparation is missing, which is also the most critical prop for awakening the Last King—the Holy Grail."

The so-called Holy Grail was nothing more than a cup filled with the Holy Son's blood; for the Holy Son, this should not be something difficult to obtain.

Hearing this, the Holy Son was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile.

He was still worrying about how to set up the Holy Grail on the battlefield, and didn't the reason just come?

By only using the ritual, he could reasonably set up the Holy Grail that would allow him to resurrect without arousing anyone's suspicion.
