Chapter 981

Needless to say, Shien's Holy Sword had indeed become different from before.

Although his Holy Sword was very strong and had always been evaluated as the strongest Holy Sword among the heroes of the past, his Holy Sword had not transcended after all. In the face of the power of transcendence, even if it was not difficult, it would not be too easy.

The seal on Naduna's body was placed by Danas who became a demon, and the death aura on Artemis's body was also left behind by a Necromancer who had successfully transcended. Logically speaking, even if Shien's Holy Sword could be effective, there was no way for it to be so straightforward.

However, Shien's current Holy Sword could easily solve the problems of Naduna and Artemis.

The reason was naturally because Shien's Holy Sword had become completely different from before.

Shien deliberately looked at the information of the Holy Sword and found that the information displayed had changed a lot compared to before.

= = =

This was the current state of Shien's Holy Sword.

There was no doubt that the power of the Holy Sword at this moment had been raised to another level. Compared to before, it was already completely different.

Most importantly, its condition clearly showed that it was still in the process of 'metamorphosis'.

In other words, the transformation of the Holy Sword was not over yet.

Once the transformation was over, the Holy Sword would only become stronger than it was now.

Shien had a feeling that after the Holy Sword's transformation was over, he might not be able to see its information at all.

Because at that time, the Holy Sword had already become the crystallization of power on the same level as the Demon King and the Supreme God.

Perhaps at that time, the Holy Sword would not give Shien the power to match the Demon King and the Supreme God, but at least in terms of "quality", it was already on the same level as the Demon King and the Supreme God.

The power exerted by such a Holy Sword was able to crusade against the Demon King, kill the Demon King, and make the Demon King afraid.

Whether it was the level, skills, or the effects of other items, it was because of the existence of [Truth] that the Holy Sword could clearly appear and be recognized by the world.

However, [Truth] was a Law set down by the Overgods. Naturally, it wouldn't be effective against Overgods.

Therefore, after the transformation, the Holy Sword would surpass the restrictions of [Truth] and would no longer show any information. Instead, it would be the same as the Demon King and the Supreme God. There was no concept of level, no concept of skills, and it was just pure power itself. There was no need for any fancy things, and it could not be put on.

Not to mention the power of the Demon King and the Supreme God, even the transcendent existences who broke through the limits of life and broke the shackles of life no longer needed to abide by the rules of [Truth] and be bound by the concept of level and skills.

No matter which transcendent existences, whether they were born transcendent or acquired through special circumstances, there was no such thing as level and skills.

Level 100, level 10 skills, these were the rules that only those who were bound by [Truth] and within the limits of life had to abide by.

Once one broke through the limits of life and successfully transcended, then the level would no longer exist, and the skills would not be displayed as clear information.

For example, Ai Yi's Dragon Breath was equivalent to an ability that existed instinctively and not a skill.

It was just like how humans had hands and feet and could beat and kick others at will. It was not a skill, and any able-bodied person could do it.

It was the same for the power of the transcendent existences. It would not be displayed as clear skills, but would be completely integrated into one's body and become an ability of one's.

This kind of method was already similar to the power of the Demon King and the Supreme God.

Power was power. There was no such thing as level and skills. It was only a matter of familiarity and whether one could use it or not.

This was the correct way to exist in power.

Of course, the transcendent existences were still unable to completely break away from the restrictions of [Truth].

They had already surpassed the concept of level and skills. However, no transcendent existences were able to break away from the most special concept of skills.

Even for the Goddesses of the Divine Race, their Authority itself was their unique skill. It clearly told them which domain they were proficient in, and what kind of power they possessed.

Therefore, unique skills were still the core and core of the transcendent existences' power. They were also their trump cards and trump cards.

Only the Demon King and the Supreme God were completely above [Truth]. They did not have any concept of skills or power.

It was the same for the Holy Sword. After the transformation, it was its own power. It was its own weapon. It was its own concept. It was its own trump card. There would not be any information that could detoxify their existence and abilities.

Shien also felt that his mysterious unique skill would also become like this.

Before it was awakened, the name of this unique skill was already "????" State. The effect was even more ambiguous. It was so simple and vague that people could not understand it at all.

This was actually a kind of omen.

When it awakened, it would probably also surpass the restrictions of [Truth]. There would no longer be any information displayed.

All in all, everything about him was gradually becoming extraordinary.

In less than a second, this thought flashed through Shien's mind. He instantly kept the Holy Sword back into his body.

At this time, Nadia and Artemis finally reacted.

The two goddesses felt that they had fully recovered while looking at Shien with astonishment and surprise as if they had seen something unbelievable.

"This … That's it?"

"The thing that troubled the two Goddesses was dealt with so easily?"

"As expected of Lord Shien!"

On the other hand, the goddesses who were watching continued to praise Shien as if they didn't notice anything unusual.

After Shien solved the problem of Nadur and Artemis, he spoke to the two goddesses.

"If there's anything else you need my help with, call me again.

Of course, the prerequisite is that it's not too troublesome.

"After all, I'm not in a state where I can casually use the Holy Sword."

After leaving such words, Shien turned around and left.

The remaining goddesses were a little confused by what Shien said.

Nadur and Artemis' eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

The two of them looked at each other.

"Goddess Nadur." Artemis couldn't help but say, "That state of his, has he really crossed that threshold?"

Artemis' voice was full of surprise and expectation.

Nadur also smiled.

"Judging from the holy wave I felt just now, I'm afraid it's not far from the truth." Nadur couldn't help but be overjoyed and said in a light tone, "Also, didn't you hear him say that he can use the Holy Sword at will now?"

The Hero couldn't use the Holy Sword at will, but the power of the Holy Sword was getting stronger and stronger. According to what Nadur knew, there was only one situation that matched this phenomenon.

"Transcendence!" Artemis exclaimed. "He actually crossed that threshold?"

As soon as this was said, the goddesses around were shocked.

But not to mention Artemis, even Nadur didn't have time to care about them.

"Unlike us who were born transcendence, you who were born with special abilities, and even that demon called Danas and the Necromancer who transcended with the power of the Lustrous Branch, the transcendence of the Hero starts with the Holy Sword."

Nadur's eyes became brighter and brighter as she explained.

"Because they are people from another world, they are not bound by [Truth]. After coming to this world, they awaken the power of the Hero and have the concept of levels and skills, which allows them to grow quickly through combat and training."

This was the characteristic of the Hero, and also the advantage of the Hero.

"And limited by the growth of the Hero, the Holy Sword, which should be the same level of power as the Demon King and the Supreme God, is also limited by the concept of levels and skills and has a clear effect, causing the nature of the power to be limited and unable to exert its original power."

Artemis continued Nadur's words.

Nadur nodded.

"So, once the Hero reaches the limit of life, which is commonly known as level 100, and becomes an ultimate champion, if he wants to go further, he must unlock the restrictions on the Holy Sword."

The Holy Sword was the clone of the Hero, the symbol of the Hero, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was the other half of the Hero.

Just like how the Demon King Jade and the Goddess Jade both symbolized the existence of the Demon King and Supreme God, the Holy Sword and the Hero were one and the same, conceptually the same existence.

So, if the Hero wanted to transcend, he must unlock the restrictions on himself and the Holy Sword.

The two must reach a state of resonance, allowing the divine power to fuse into each other's body indiscriminately. Only then could he truly become a "Hero", making this concept on the same level as the "Demon King" and "Goddess" above [Truth].

Only then could the Hero transcend, and the Holy Sword could transform and exert its original power, which was the ability of the "Demon King's Nemesis".

At this time, the Holy Sword was truly what it should be, possessing the power to truly subjugate the Demon King, slay the Demon King, and strike fear into the hearts of the Demons.

"Throughout history, a total of 108 Heroes were able to successfully comprehend this point, either through self-breakthrough or stimulation by external factors, thus resonating with the Holy Sword, activating the complete divine power, and walking on the path of transcendence. Only seven people were able to do so."

Nadur said.

"That's not something that can be done by relying on talent and potential. It requires opportunity and other methods to assist. For example, the Hero Mithras completed his transcendence in the Inner Temple."

Artemis looked in the direction where Shien left with a burning gaze.

"And when they successfully take this step, the Holy Sword will become inseparable from them and can be absorbed into their body."

"At this time, the Holy Sword will continuously emit stronger and stronger divine power, gradually releasing the restrictions and shackles on them, allowing them to transcend."

Nadur and Artemis looked at each other again, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

All signs indicated that Shien had successfully taken that step.

The most difficult step had been taken, and everything else was just a matter of time.

"I really didn't expect that he has already reached this step."

Nadur was both excited and amazed.

"He has only been in this world for less than a year."

Artemis couldn't help but admire him.

"I just don't know how long it will take for him to transform."

Nadur said.

"It is said that the stronger the power of the Holy Sword, the longer it takes to transform, but once the transformation is successful, the strength of the Hero will also become stronger."

Artemis said.

Both of them were looking forward to it.

Looking forward to the birth of the long-lost legend in this world again.
