Valerie's Traces
🕑 Added 2025-01-07 18:36:39 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 397 ---
"What! Valerie's Sacred Gear, the Sephiroth Graal, got destroyed?" Huang Qiu'er was shocked. "How is that even possible?"
Rossweisse smiled, "Why can't a Sacred Gear get destroyed? They are not indestructible. The God of Humanity in our world made it so the humans could grow."
"You need to suffer to grow. That's common sense."
"Not to mention, it's not like the destruction of Sephiroth Graal was a horrible thing." She added, giving Huang Qiu'er a mysterious smile.
Huang Qiu'er raised her eyebrow and pouted, "What do you mean? Stop playing riddle with me because I don't know enough about Sacred Gear."
Rossweisse pointed her finger at her heart and answered, "Sacred Gear is also known as God's Artifact. It reacts to the user's desire and evolves through it. Whether for survival, lust, conquering, or even death!"
"Even a simple sentence like "I want to be a Harem King" can turn a lecher into a powerful dragon."
"This is the power of Sacred Gear, which is superior to Martial Soul to a certain degree."
"And among the best of Sacred Gears are called Longinus, which possess the power to threaten, even kill Gods in my world."
"Sephiroth Graal is one of the Longinus..." Huang Qiu'er at least knew this because Valerie had told her once.
Rossweisse nodded, "Indeed. Now the question is, what happens if Sacred Gear Welder desires to "reincarnate" or otherwise call the experience a new life."
"Any other Longinus wouldn't accommodate this, but Sephiroth Graal would."
"Do you know why?"
"Because the Sephiroth Graal possessed the power to revive the death, even pulling them from the deepest part of hell!"
"This Longinus possessed the power of Life, Death, and Soul!"
Huang Qiu'er gulped upon hearing this. Isn't this Sephiroth Graal much stronger than my Golden Dragon King?
Unfortunately, Sephiroth Graal wouldn't do much in combat between two higher-dimensional beings who transcended the concepts of Life, Death, and Soul.
So, while the Sephiroth Graal is technically better, the Golden Dragon King possesses the "Raw's Power" of the Golden Dragon King and its tyrannical power to kill any creature on its path.
After all, the divine spear was 'literally' made of the Golden Dragon King's 49th Rib Bone.
Both have merits, but Huang Qiu'er ultimately chose the Golden Dragon Spear. After all, Huang Qiu'er possessed a pure and strong Dragon's bloodline that works similarly to Sephiroth Graal.
Isn't it just the power of Life, Death, and Soul? Huang Qiu Er's Dragon's bloodline possessed the element of light of creation, flame of destruction, and soul of eternity. Her innate power can also alter one's destiny and luck, which were superior concepts to the former three.
Not to mention, the current Golden Dragon Spear had been bathed with the ascension of Huang Qiu'er and the concept of Yellow Dragon, making it stronger than ever.
Rossweisse looked down on the blood monster and continued, "If my guess is correct, Valerie most likely desired to be stronger and chose to reincarnate with the help of Sephiroth Graal."
"However, in return, the Sephiroth Graal broke into three pieces, each with the unique power of the original."
Huang Qiu'er crossed her arms, "Are you saying this thing has a piece of Sephiroth Graal's death power?"
Rossweisse shook her head lightly, "Nope."
"You have seen this thing fight. It barely could work as your punching bag. The "Sacred Gear" you sensed from this fellow comes from the aura of Sephiroth Graal's death power."
"Only a sliver was enough to revive someone from the dead, but as you can see, it didn't revive you as a human but as an incomplete vampire."
Huang Qiu'er realized something and said, "Wait, doesn't that mean the two other pieces could turn someone into a human (life) and a ghost (soul)?"
Rossweisse was stunned by this speculation. Still, she didn't find anything wrong with it because what Huang Qiu'er said was logical and aligned with the ability of Sephiroth Graal.
Unfortunately, Rossweisse needed more data and evidence.
"That I don't know..."
"Well, let's seal this thing up first." Rossweisse changed the topic of conversation.
Huang Qiu'er rolled her eyes and snapped her finger, sealing the so-called "Roar of Death" in a sphere of draconic energy. It was part of Yellow Dragon's innate ability, called Dragon's Energy.
Rossweisse whistled at this. Although she has ascended as the Goddess of Magic and has the power to access the knowledge of the upper realm, she is a bit jealous of Huang Qiu'er.
She wished her power had such characteristics.
Well, everything has its own merits.
Huang Qiu'er can't never be as versatile as Rossweisse.
After sealing the half-assed vampire, Huang Qiu'er glanced back at the few warships and asked, "What should we do with them?"
"Drown them?" She added, not hiding her voice with an energy barrier anymore.
Even though the warships were far away, some people on board could still hear the Yellow Dragon Goddess's unflattering voice and couldn't help but tremble in fear.
The Marines and Cipher Pol are the two strongest factions under the World Governments, but they felt smaller than ants before this young woman.
Even the lone Celestial Dragon cursed in his mind. Since Huang Qiu'er has the power of a god, he knows they are fucked up. They couldn't escape her hand and would be at her mercy.
Rossweisse tapped her chin and commented, "No, they still have some uses."
"Aren't you interested in this thing's origin? I bet someone can explain it to us later."
"Right?" Before the Celestial Dragon could react, Rossweisse appeared behind him and grabbed his shoulder.
"..." Celestial Dragon paled like a paper. He couldn't breathe and felt every cell in his body screaming in fear. His heart could stop at any fucking moment.
All Celestial Dragons were born with pride as high as the sky, except for some exceptions. After all, "God's blood" is flowing in their veins.
However, they are nothing before the real God.
"So, what is your name, little man?" asked Rossweisse with a playful smile. But this smile looks like a devil's smile to the Celestial Dragon.
Celestial Dragon swallowed his fear and answered with a stutter, "T-This humble one's name is Saint Jin. The head of the Jin Family."
"Hmm, Jin Family?" Rossweisse's eyes lit up. "If I'm not wrong, your family controls the exchange of Seastones and other rare minerals worldwide, but you cover it up with Marines and some pirates."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a good Celestial Dragon."
Hearing Rossweisse's comment, Saint Jin couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. It was supposed to be a secret of the World Noble, so how did this "God" woman know?
In fact, the Saint Jin Family has monopolized the Seastones mines, and only a few people, including the Five Elders and other Saints, know about this.
"That aside, I'm curious about something..." Rossweisse traced her finger on Saint Jin's neck. "How did you come in contact with "that" thing over there?"
"Answer me honestly, or your head will dive in the sea."
Saint Jin's lips trembled, "I-I will answer everything!"
"Hehe, good."
...
Meanwhile, Huang Qiu'er returned to Huo Yuhao's side with the sealed, half-assed vampire.
"Master, I'm back. I brought you a souvenir." Huang Qiu'er said, throwing the sealed thing to Huo Yuhao.
"That is the Roar of Death!" Fujitora's mouth twitched in disbelief.
How did a monster even more dangerous than a buster call get caught this easily?
Abnormal!
Fujitora gazed at Huang Qiu'er in fear and helplessness. He felt he was courting death when accepting Akainu's order.
Marines have no chance to win.
Not even a sliver.
'I'm glad I didn't board that ship completely.' Fujitora sighed in relief at his choice to join the Dragon Nest.
Huo Yuhao glanced at the sealed creature and mumbled, "Clone. I see, that's how it is."
"Good job, Qiu'er."
"I think we can meet Valerie soon." He smiled at Huang Qiu'er.
Huang Qiu'er hummed happily because of Yuhao's praise. She pursed her lips and stood beside him with a joyful aura.
Huo Yuhao snapped his finger and sent the sealed creature into his pocket dimension before returning his focus to Makino.
"Let's start."
Makino nodded firmly, "Yes!"

I was a bit sleepy, thanks for the reminder. I missed it.

You miss writing the 3 last sentence. 'Hou yuhao snapped his fingers....' and not huang qiu'er, or?
