Chapter 1738: ?Star Cup? Just a Broken Cup, That's All
"Ding! Guild quest completed! Quest rewards have been successfully distributed to each member."
A calm, icy voice rang out beside the ears of every guild member in the Game of Life world.
Making their bodies stiffen for a moment.
In the next instant, a new voice sounded beside Su Han's ear.
"Ding! Angel Summoning System detected! Shall it be reclaimed?"
"Yes!"
Su Han nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"Ding! Angel Summoning System successfully reclaimed. Obtained 250,000 points."
"...... 250,000 points, huh."
Su Han rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
That amount of points was already quite considerable.
"...... Then next is the matter of this broken-ass cup."
Su Han cast his gaze upon the Star Cup before him.
In the guild chat room.
Tony Is Not The Richest Man: "Star Cup! Is this the Star Cup from the Game of Life world?"
Tony Is Not The Richest Man: "The legend says... a special cup that, once fused, grants the power to dominate the Game of Life world, right?"
Fallen Angel Twelve-Wing Black Cat Clan: "Demon Lord, reach out and fuse the Star Cup, ascend to the sole God-seat of the Game of Life world from this day forth—how sweet!"
Loki: "...... Sole God, huh."
Thinking about it, my feelings are a little complicated."
Thor Odinson: "Indeed it is."
Ainz Ooal Gown: "...... Wait a moment! Thor, you aren't even a proper god—what are you feeling complicated about?"
Thor Odinson: "......"
Miss Xia Shizi: "... Actually, the question I'm pondering is, even if the Guild Master touches the Star Cup, I'm afraid he still won't be able to fuse it."
Miss Xia Shizi: "After all, in the original work, Riku didn't fuse the Star Cup either! I suspect there's a restriction here."
"Perhaps only a god can touch the Star Cup."
Symbol of Peace: "Thinking about it that way... it does seem possible! The various god-species fought each other to compete for the final Star Cup, in order to dominate their own race."
Symbol of Peace: "And... in the original work, it was also the God of Games Tet who touched the Star Cup! Although he calls himself the weakest god... the God of Games Tet is indeed a god-species, no doubt about it."
Wei Bo: "...... I, on the other hand, think! With all the power the Guild Master possesses."
"Even without the qualification to fuse the Star Cup! I'm afraid he could still forcibly fuse it—after all, the current Guild Master genuinely possesses the power to alter the laws of the world!"
Wudao Dong Xiang: "...... What you said, I actually can't refute."
Xiaozhi: "!!! Am I really the only one curious—if the Guild Master can't fuse the Star Cup, then why did this broken-ass cup appear beside the Guild Master?"
Hourai Scarlet Kaguya: "Isn't the reason obvious?"
Hourai Scarlet Kaguya: "Because the Guild Master is the strongest! The Guild Master even single-handedly pierced through the Elf Corridor! That's why the Star Cup manifested at that moment."
"And beside the strongest being, the Guild Master."
Ti Qie Hui Li: "Strength is the only hard truth...... indeed."
Luo Hao Sect Leader: "...... So, what is the person thinking about right now? Why hasn't he picked up... the Star Cup yet?"
Su Xiao Xiao: "...... I have no intention of picking up... the Star Cup."
Ainz Ooal Gown: ""
Althar: ""
Wudao Dong Xiang: "!!!"
The guild members were utterly dumbfounded, almost thinking they had misheard.
The Star Cup has appeared right before you, and yet you say you don't want to fuse it—could the Guild Master be showing off again?! But...... at this moment, Su Han was serious.
For... others, the power the Star Cup possessed was extremely terrifying.
Even a perfect fusion would allow one to ascend to the sole God-seat.
To arbitrarily dominate the Game of Life world.
But for Su Han, that was all it amounted to.
Even without picking up... the Star Cup, Su Han could still rely on the Reality Stone Law he possessed to casually rewrite the world.
And...... Su Han's Observation Haki informed him that if he truly picked up... the Star Cup, then his future would very likely be constrained by the Game of Life world.
Simply put, the Star Cup was like a chicken rib to Su Han—fusing it wouldn't boost his strength...... although it might add some abilities, those abilities would only be useful within the Game of Life world, and might even hinder him from continuing forward.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Su Han's mind stirred, and space twisted.
Radiance wove itself around Su Han.
Then, Riku's figure abruptly appeared.
Riku was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, nodded at Su Han, and asked casually, "Guild Master, you called me over—what is it for this time?"
"Come try whether you can fuse the Star Cup."
Su Han spoke calmly.
"...... What?"
Riku's pupils contracted sharply, almost suspecting he had misheard. He stammered, "Setting aside whether I even have... the qualification to fuse the Star Cup... the Star Cup is something you obtained! How could you let me fuse it?"
"This broken-ass cup holds no meaning whatsoever for me."
Su Han shook his head, thought about it without forcing the issue, and added, "Of course, if you don't want it, just say so outright."
"I'll toss it into the system warehouse."
Just like the Scroll of Ages from the world of Jackie Chan Adventures.
The Scroll of Ages, placed in the world of Jackie Chan Adventures, could naturally tamper with history.
But if placed in another world, it would be nothing more than an ordinary book.
The Star Cup, when fused, could tamper with the world and modify its laws.
But this was limited only to the world of No Game No Life.
Even if Su Han forcibly took it away and brought it to another world,
the Star Cup would still become nothing more than an ordinary cup.
.."...... I understand!"
Riku took a small breath, then solemnly nodded.
He came before the Star Cup.
He reached out his hand toward the mystical cup.
Su Han's expression unchanged, his Rinnegan fixed intently on Riku.
Just at the instant Riku was about to touch the Star Cup, brilliant light refracted outward, and Riku's hands actually began to melt.
This made Riku's expression shift slightly, "...... What"
Su Han's brow furrowed.
Driven by the Rooster Talisman, Riku appeared at Su Han's side.
Then, Su Han placed one hand on Riku's shoulder, and the power of the Horse Talisman gathered into Riku's body, his ruined arms gradually recovering.
Even the wounds previously forcibly ordered to heal by Aizen healed along with them.
"...... Apologies! I have disappointed you."
