In a way, Rorschach was in quite a good mood.
Not only did he get to play around with the expensive magic armor, he even personally shot one and broke a new record.
"Uncle Rorschach, thank you for your hard work."
That's right, uncle. Seviala kept calling him uncle, which made Rorschach's heart blossom.
Was it strange? Actually, it wasn't strange at all. Due to certain reasons, Rorschach wanted to be treated like an adult the most. But no matter which world he was in, his appearance would always change from that of a child to that of a teenager.
Actually, after coming to Aishi for six years at the age of 16, he had unknowingly turned 22. On Earth, he was already at the age where he could get married.
Of course, a normal young man in his early twenties wouldn't be too happy to be called uncle by a 15-year-old high school student. But Rorschach was unable to conceal his joy from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that his temperament was mature enough to be called uncle.
Seviala was able to come up with a very convincing explanation for everyone else's strange gazes.
"We were actually relatives before. Bair's royal family and wood spirits are related by blood. Even my father calls Rorschach big sister. So, to be more accurate, it's normal for me to call him uncle. His seniority is actually much higher than mine, so it's my advantage to call him uncle. If we really want to talk about seniority, I should probably call him great-great-great-great-grandfather …"
Of course, this explanation was rather nonsensical. Whether or not the others believed it … Rorschach was smiling so widely that his mouth was crooked. Was it really that important whether or not it was correct?
If Rorschach's impression of Rorschach was only 50, which was the type of "I'm just a passerby. Whether I help you or not depends on my mood." But now, Rorschach's impression of Rorschach was at least 80. "Little girl, you're quite smart. If it's not too troublesome, I'll help you."
Seviala didn't just curry favor with Rorschach. In just a short ten minutes, she used her cute appearance that was even younger than her actual age to make Rorschach's group have a good impression of her.
At the very least, someone like Ariel, who was far inferior to Rorschach, was easily settled by a sweet big sister.
As for her two knights, they looked at this scene as if they had seen a ghost.
They had never seen their Lord like this. In the past, the young princess was quiet and plain. She had the dignity of a royal princess but was not overly arrogant. She could communicate with anyone, but she did not appear to be close to anyone. Now, she was acting like a chattering little girl who was not scheming.
How could they know that at this time, Seviala's heart was also full of helplessness. She also didn't want to call such a young boy uncle. Moreover, she had to call him so sincerely that it was enough to deceive herself.
"The Sea Clan, Sea Monsters, and a warship in the skin of a pirate. I don't know which brother or sister is so ruthless as to want my life. There was no hope of escaping. If he didn't hug this thigh tightly, what should he do later? What if they tie me up and give me away? "
She was really worried now. What if Rorschach's group in front of her discovered that she was in danger, and the target of the pursuers was only her, the princess, and they would "cleverly" abandon her off the boat?
But before that, Isabella's rare serious voice caused great waves in the hearts of the group.
"Rorschach, divine power reaction."
"Damn it."
At this moment, Rorschach's smiling face turned serious.
Ariel instantly jumped back into the magic armor that had just finished cooling down. Su Nanna jumped onto the roof of the ship and began to look and choose a sniping point. Even the newcomers like Sophie and Robins were nervously preparing for battle.
Divine power reaction? That was the direct intervention of the Gods.
Was it the incarnation of the Gods? Was it the great storm that the Gods abandoned? Was it the Gods who sent down the Gods? No matter which one it was, it was extremely difficult to deal with. It was not an opponent that a mortal should face.
If Rorschach's group felt that the situation was under control just now, they could definitely escape if they couldn't win. At most, they would just lose some face. But now, Rorschach's mentality was like facing the incarnation of the Evil God in a night of despair. Only by fighting with all their might could they possibly survive.
"There's no need to test it. Let's just use that. Let's clean up the mess first and find that divinity factor."
God Equipment wasn't that easy to use.
God Equipment was usually something that belonged to the Gods. It contained the God's will and power. If a mortal was lucky enough to obtain such a God Equipment, it wouldn't be a good thing in most cases.
Since the God Equipment contained the God's will, it was impossible for it to escape the God's control. And yet, it had fallen into your hands. That meant that your luck in obtaining the God Equipment was most likely arranged by the God. You had become that God's chess piece.
The God's will and power were two sides of the same coin. If a God Equipment lost the God's will and control, it would naturally lose its power and become an ordinary object.
Of course, there were exceptions to everything.
Indeed, some God Equipment still had the qualifications to be called God Equipment even if it lost its owner.
But believe me, not only were such God Equipment rare, it was even more dangerous than a God Equipment that contained divine power. And if you felt that everything was normal and nothing special about it, that meant that you hadn't even come into contact with the true form of a God Equipment.
"… So, the Book of Ten Thousand Laws is actually like this. No wonder I was unable to truly control it."
Ariel was somewhat hurt as she looked at the Book of Ten Thousand Laws floating in the narrow cockpit. The Book of Ten Thousand Laws was now completely unrecognizable.
Ariel's impression of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws was that it was a wondrous magical tome, a mysterious yet kind teacher.
As long as you paid with magic and made your request, no matter how strange, unreasonable, or common sense your request was, the Book of Ten Thousand Laws would be able to give you a wondrous magical spell that matched your request. Not only that, the Book of Ten Thousand Laws would also be able to communicate with your soul and teach you.
In the past, in Ariel's eyes, the Book of Ten Thousand Laws wasn't a God Equipment used for combat. It was more of a good teacher for cultivation and learning.
That's right, it was the Book of Ten Thousand Laws. Ariel even viewed the Book of Ten Thousand Laws as a friend, especially because of its wondrous traits.
"… Back then, no matter how hard I studied, as long as I slept on the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, I would have a wonderful dream. Then, I would wake up the next day. As long as I touched the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, I would be invigorated. Now that I think about it … I was almost enslaved by the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, becoming a slave that collected souls for the Book of Ten Thousand Laws."
At this moment, under Rorschach's command, the Book of Ten Thousand Laws removed its disguise and revealed its true appearance.
The Book of Ten Thousand Laws' holy metal shell that was filled with arcane magic light, the yellow pages that were filled with the fragrance of ink, the ancient runes that were filled with wisdom and history … all of them vanished without a trace.
The Book of Ten Thousand Laws was a book whose frame was made out of bones. Its pages were filled with negative energy and souls. Touching the smooth cover would cause one's hair to stand on end, because it felt like human skin.
When the Book of Ten Thousand Laws automatically flipped its pages, what sounded was no longer the familiar sound of flipping pages. Instead, it was the singing of souls and the whispers of the dead. Just by looking at this Book of Ten Thousand Laws, one would feel as if one's heart and soul were being corroded and stolen.
"Just how evil is this Book of Ten Thousand Laws? Just how many souls and lives lost everything for the sake of its birth? Just which evil demon created such an evil God Equipment?"
"My mother …"
