"It's a long story, my lord," Andrea replied. "But it just so happens that we want to show you something."
As she spoke, she walked forward. At this time, a path suddenly opened in the middle of the War Goddesses. Two girls who were dressed similarly to Andrea carried an item to the two of them.
Under Andrea's instructions, they placed the item at Brando's feet.
Brendel saw that it was a black crystal about a cubic meter in size. It looked quite heavy, but the two War Goddesses didn't seem to use much strength to put it down. Of course, Brando was not stupid enough to think that this thing was actually very light. When he fought with Leviathan, he saw that the combat power of these girls was not inferior to Wohnde, who was at the peak of the Law. This did not include their strange equipment and abilities.
Besides, as a part of the Earth Legion that fought against Dusk, even if they lost most of their inheritance, how weak could their true strength be?
"What is this?" Brando asked.
"This was found in the corpse of Le Chaprac's projection. To be exact, it was found in its stomach, my lord."
Brando raised his eyebrows in surprise. He did not expect the Crystal to have a stomach. The structure of these crystal-like creatures was completely different from carbon-based creatures. He thought that they directly replenished their energy by devouring magic. If that was the case, they naturally did not need a digestive system.
Andrea seemed to have seen through his thoughts and replied, "The Crystal also need to eat. Although they do devour magic, they actually devour the foundation of the various worlds, including elements, matter, and energy. Their stomach is actually different from what we know. It's actually an independent space. I'm just making an analogy."
Brando nodded and understood.
"When the Venomous Dragon Nighord bit off the World Tree's Root, Le Chaprak, one of the three leaders, invaded Wartheim together with him. The Dwarves lost many Divine Artifacts, and even Halran Gaia was damaged. Most of these Divine Artifacts were in Le Chaprak's stomach. This thing was found in Le Chaprak's stomach. In fact, every time we killed Le Chaprak's doppelgangers, we would more or less gain something."
In Wohnde, the poisonous dragon Nigholdt was actually the Ouroboros that All For One worshipped. In the Pale Poem, it was called Ouroboros. The witches called it the creature of greed and despair. It was also a symbol of alchemy. It was not originally a creature of chaos, but a product of coexistence with the World Tree. One represented hope, the other represented despair. However, the greedy giant snake eventually devoured itself. After it bit off the root of the World Tree, the World Tree collapsed, destroying the gods and the Golden Age.
Just like the snake, Leviathan was also a famous glutton. It swam in the void and devoured everything. The only difference between it and the snake was that it didn't eat itself.
Le Chaprac, as a member of Leviathan, was obviously no exception.
"Then what is this?"
Brando asked. He knew that Andrea would not speak without thinking. This thing she showed him must have something to do with the previous question.
Andrea put down the spear and inserted the tip of the light spear into the black crystal. "If we're not wrong, this should be that thing."
With a few cracking sounds, a few spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared on the black crystal. Then, more and more cracks appeared, until the whole thing collapsed. With a crack, like an eggshell cracking open, the thing inside was revealed.
Brando saw that after the outer shell of the crystal cracked open, a silver-white metal piece was revealed. It looked familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen it before. However, he felt that it looked like a box.
His guess was not wrong. When the piece of metal was exposed to the air, Andrea put away the spear in her hand and squatted down. She placed her hand on the piece of metal and said with some surprise: "A grade, it's even better than I thought."
"What's Grade A?"
"It's a category of Divine Artifacts, my lord. However, it's not suitable for ordinary Divine Artifacts. To be precise, it's a category of the Creator's Divine Artifacts," Andrea replied with excitement.
In fact, it was not just her. Almost all the Goddess of War girls around them were surprised. Obviously, they had never seen such a high-grade item before.
"My Lord, your luck is really good." Andrea praised from the bottom of her heart.
Brendel thought to himself, I'm a little prince with a black face, and I'm practically a match made in heaven with senior. Since when did I get praised for being lucky? Could it be that there's some unknown change in the world line?
He hurriedly asked, "What's a Creator's Divine Artifact?"
Andrea patted the metal cube lightly, and it suddenly began to twist. It was as if its metal outer layer had suddenly turned into a ball of liquid that flowed in all directions. Finally, it shrunk into a ball, revealing the thing underneath.
"It's actually this thing …"
When Brando saw it, he could not help but cry out.
"Huh?" Andrea was surprised: "My lord, do you recognize it?"
Brando took a deep breath and replied: "The Book of Gaia"
"Ah, yes, this is indeed the Book of Gaia" Andrea hurriedly replied: "This is one of the best among the Grade A Divine Artifacts. Our luck is really good, but unfortunately — — right, my lord, do you know the use of this Divine Artifact?"
Brando silently nodded.
This Book of Gaia was also known as the Holy Book of Earth in the past life. This was the most sacred artifact of an Elementalist. As long as you had it, you would automatically learn all Earth Elemental Magic. No matter if it was lost in the past or created by someone else in this era, as long as it existed in this world, it would be recorded in this book and integrated into the memory of the holder. Even if the holder was only an Elementalist apprentice, they would be able to use this book to cast a 14th-circle Earth Elemental Forbidden Spell.
As long as the holder had enough willpower and mana pool — —
But this book only had one flaw, and that was that it was not a pure magic book, nor was it a pure magic equipment. To be precise, this thing was a war machine, just like large-scale war machines such as magic cannons, floating battleships, and messaging crystals. It could not be controlled by a single person, and it needed a powerful magic core to support its use.
Generally speaking, people would place this book in a magic tower or a floating battleship as a defensive or offensive weapon. But even so, ordinary magic towers and floating battleships would not be able to support its power. Only the most powerful mage towers and first-class battleships would be able to contain this sacred artifact.
But even so, in the future, this book was one of the most famous Divine Artifacts. Any guild that had it could become one of the top guilds in "The Amber Sword". Think about it, this book was equivalent to a guild directly having a top Elementalist that was almost equal to the level of a Sage. And as long as there were enough mana potions, this mage could almost infinitely cast terrifying spells above the tenth circle with the support of a battleship or a magic tower. In fact, this was something that even a real Elementalist would have a hard time doing.
Brando remembered that this book was obtained by Diamond Force in his era. The reason why Diamond Force was known as one of the top three guilds in Wohnde was largely because of this book.
And at this moment, this book was lying quietly in front of him.
Andrea saw Brando nodding, then continued, "The Book of Gaia, the Book of Ocean, the Book of Flame, and the Book of Air. These four Elemental Books are also known as the Book of Revelation. There are many records about them in the mortal world. Many Elementalists regard them as their lifelong pursuit. But in fact, these are not sacred artifacts for mortals. They were originally designed to exist as auxiliary weapons for the creators, so in fact, mortals can't use them very well."
"Unfortunately," she sighed and said, "In the battle where the gods left the world, factory number 17 was completely destroyed by Le Chaprac. The twelve creators created by the ancestors all died in the battle. In this world, no one can truly use these sacred artifacts anymore."
The War Goddesses all had expressions of regret on their faces. However, they weren't regretting the fate of these Holy Items. Instead, they were regretting the fact that their powerful companions in the past had all left this world. They were the only ones left who were still fighting alone. Perhaps at some point in time, this final spark of hope would be extinguished.
Brando swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He suddenly asked dryly, "What exactly is a creator, Andrea?"
"My lord, you should know about the origin of the Golden Race, right?"
Brando nodded.
"The generation with the Golden Blood flowing in their veins are the warriors of the gods. They are the masterpieces of the divine people. But before the divine people, the first generation of divine people — — in other words, the ancestors had already been creating warriors. Together with Martha, they first created 14,000 gods, then countless secondary gods, demigods, but below the demigods, they also created divine servants — — "
"This is the origin of the creators — —"
"The creators, from the very beginning, were the people who created the world. They were the ancestors of the Matatanians, and also the prototype of the Planeswalker Law. In fact, the Planeswalker System itself was a mature product after the failure of the creators' plan. Although there was a follow-up plan, and Milos and the giants were the beneficiaries of this follow-up plan, but in the end, the gods replaced the Titans with the more mature Planeswalker System and the Golden Race."
"But the creators were still preserved as the strongest force. Until the battle where the gods left the world, a total of twelve of them were born," Andrea said. "They are the twelve children of Mother Gaia, the twelve Titans, Cronus, Rhea, Oceanus, Thetis, Xupelion, Mordaunt, Iapetus, Cleos, Themis, Phoebe, and Kos."
"Although there was a thirteenth creator, the omnipotent creator, Eve, but unfortunately, after the destruction of Factory No. 17, everything became a mystery, and this thirteenth creator never appeared again."
Brando's heart pounded at this time, and he asked with a trembling voice, "Andrea, you mean R.T.U. is Factory No. 17?"
"At least part of the long-range teleportation terminal, my lord."
"There are only twelve creators? Or thirteen? "
Andrea nodded.
"I have a question, for example," Brando asked carefully, "For example, if there are still creators alive, what form should they be in?"
Andrea thought for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know, my lord. I have never seen them, but they are very likely to be very different from us. As far as I know, they are the same as the first generation of gods. They are not real creatures, but creatures driven by the 'Spark of God'. Every creator has a powerful 'Spark of God'."
"Spark of God …"
