Chapter 2101

~8 min read 1,413 words

Inside the Ancient God Hall, Su Xiao stood before the corpse of Dominator Sothoth. For some reason, when fighting the opponent, Su Xiao always felt Sothoth was very powerful, powerful to the point he couldn't resist. But after truly fighting, Sothoth gave him the feeling of a "paper tiger."

Su Xiao pulled out the long blade pierced into Sothoth's chest. Regardless, this Ancient God was dead through and through.

【The Hunter has killed Dominator Sothoth.】

【Recovered 1753 ounces of Space-Time Power.】

【You have obtained 21.9% of the World Source.】

【You have obtained 292 Soul Coins, which can be used to exchange for desired rewards from the following. If the Hunter does not make a choice within five minutes, Soul Coins will be materialized.】

1. God Bone (Rare item, exclusive reward for God-slaying)

Price: 140 Soul Coins.

2. Epic-grade treasure chest (100%)

Prompt: There is a 10% chance to obtain equipment above Epic-grade from this chest.

Price: 73 Soul Coins.

3. Source Blood Empty (Bloodline prop, this bloodline has been perfected and the evil divinity removed)

Price: 280 Soul Coins

4. Heart of Hope (Special item)

Price: 20 Soul Coins.

Su Xiao threw down the velvet cloth in his hand and sheathed the Zhan Long Shan, which he had wiped bright.

The reward for killing Sothoth was quite generous. Not only did he reclaim a small portion of Space-Time Power, but he also obtained a large amount of World Source, making up for the losses Su Xiao suffered during the investigation.

This reward was very special. Even if he didn't choose a reward, he could obtain 292 Soul Coins. Soul Coins obtained from killing Ancient Gods were not only universal but could also be saved because they were high-value items themselves.

Su Xiao took out the Soul Coins obtained from killing the Moon God. After thinking for a while, he decided to exchange for that bloodline prop. Of course, he wasn't using it himself. Because of the Green Steel Shadow energy in his body, if he used this thing, the "Source Blood Empty" would be rapidly devoured and have no effect.

【You have obtained Source Blood Empty.】

【You have obtained Heart of Hope (Special item).】

After the reward exchange was completed, Su Xiao only had 7 Soul Coins left, still produced by the Moon God.

The reason Su Xiao exchanged for the "Source Blood Empty" bloodline was that he felt this bloodline was very suitable for Baha. After all, the Ancient God divinity in "Source Blood Empty" had been removed, leaving only abilities.

The benefit of this item was that it wouldn't turn one into an Ancient God after use, and it had nothing to do with Ancient Gods. The downside was that the ability strength was significantly reduced. There were gains and losses.

It wasn't that Ancient God bloodlines were trash, but that Ancient God bloodlines had a high starting point, leading to a high rank. However, Su Xiao didn't think highly of Ancient God bloodlines, and Baha, as the user, thought even less of them. In its words, Ancient Gods were uglier than the next, and it didn't want to become an ugly duckling.

"Source Blood Empty" was not in a hurry to be used. As for the 【Heart of Hope】, Su Xiao didn't have time to check it now.

Su Xiao stretched his hand out flat, palm aimed at Dominator Sothoth lying on the ground. The dead Sothoth looked much more pleasing to the eye, at least it wouldn't run around and suddenly give Su Xiao a sword strike.

The Devourer talent was activated. Three light orbs of different colors floated out from Sothoth's chest and were held in Su Xiao's hand.

【You have obtained "Ancient Memory Nameless Mist (Incomplete)."】

【Warning: This soul memory is extremely dangerous. The Hunter will definitely die after use.】

【You have obtained "Technique Memory Forget-Me-Not (Incomplete)."】

【You have obtained "Sacrifice Memory Suffering Torment (Incomplete)."】

【Prompt: The Hunter can choose one to strip.】

Of the three soul memories, the first one was extremely pit-like; using it would definitely lead to death. Su Xiao didn't have the habit of courting death, so he gave it up directly.

As for the remaining two, holding the idea of picking the best among the worst, Su Xiao chose "Technique Memory Forget-Me-Not." This ability looked strange no matter how one looked at it. Or rather, it didn't look like Sothoth's ability.

Among the three light orbs, the black and red ones exploded and evaporated into the air. The remaining milky white light orb merged into Su Xiao's palm.

Just after using the soul memory, the scene in front of Su Xiao changed. It was a "viewing-type" soul memory, the type Su Xiao liked most. This kind of soul memory could yield the most knowledge.

It was still the Ancient God Hall. Sothoth, holding Twisted Malice, floated in mid-air. In front of it was a slender young girl. She was already covered in blood, and the weapon in her hand, "Crescent Moon Light," pointed diagonally at the ground.

"Forget-me-not."

The girl whispered, stepping forward at the same time.

*Zing! *

A golden slash mark swept past, and the wind pressure surged. The girl's slender body erupted with terrifying combat power. It was a full half-minute before the golden slash mark showed signs of fading.

With a *splat*, the upper half of Sothoth's head fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the girl placed the Crescent Moon Light in her hand beside her neck. The sharp blade slashed past, and a very deep wound appeared. After using "Forget-me-not," she didn't even have the strength to step forward, let alone continue fighting. And the Ancient God blood in her body was something the enemy craved. She could die, but she couldn't let the enemy continue to grow stronger.

Blood mist drifted from the girl's neck. She smiled and fell to the ground with a *thud*.

From the start of the battle to her death, the girl only said three words: Forget-me-not. This was her strongest ability and also a kind of expectation, proving she had existed. She didn't crave beauty, didn't crave freedom. With a mission on her shoulders, there was no other way. She only hoped that her puppet and master would not forget her. She had existed, although she failed to complete the mission.

"Roar!"

Sothoth roared angrily. It suddenly appeared in front of the girl and reached out to grab the blood mist. Unfortunately, it was of no use.

Sothoth was furious, tentacles all over its body surging.

"Too ugly, Sothoth."

A voice that couldn't distinguish between male and female came. Hearing this voice, Sothoth's anger subsided a bit. Its foot stepped on the girl's head. It decided to turn this female human into a collectible.

Just as Sothoth was about to pick the girl up from the ground, the blood mist that was dissipating in mid-air suddenly gathered together, forming a slender arm, pressing on the broken part of Sothoth's head.

"Awooo!!"

Sothoth screamed, falling from mid-air to the ground with a *thud*. Its expression was a bit stunned because it had lost some very important ability, lost forever.

The girl lying on the ground closed her eyes. Gods were too arrogant.

The scene in front of him shattered. Su Xiao touched his chin. Ancient Gods relied too much on innate abilities. The strongest technique he had ever seen in his life was still obtained from an enemy.

Forget-me-not was a sword technique. Su Xiao didn't intend to develop this ability. It didn't fit well with his blade technique. After all, their beliefs were different.

Su Xiao could certainly guess who the girl fighting Sothoth was. Nia's life seemed tragic, but for her, it wasn't. She received salvation from Dawn, changing from a "beast" that only knew how to kill living things into a human.

As for the reason she was willing to complete the mission, it wasn't actually noble. She didn't know what she should do in the future, and her savior hoped the Ancient God would die, so she just did it. It was that simple.

As for the Light of Hope, Nia, praised by later generations, if Nia herself heard this title, she would be stunned for a while and confused: what light? Where did the hope come from? She was just an ordinary person who liked eating sweet bread. Well, a relatively strong ordinary person, an ordinary person who could cut off half of an Ancient God's head.
