Chapter 982

At the moment, Shien did not know how much anticipation he had garnered from Naduna and Artemis.

If he knew what Nadia and Artemis said, he would definitely tell them that in fact, his holy sword didn't need to transform for a long time.

Indeed, the more powerful the Sacred Sword, the longer it would take for it to transform.

The more powerful the Sacred Sword's divine power, the longer it would take for it to fuse with the Hero's body.

The Hero who had fused with more divine power and was modified by it would naturally become more powerful after transcending.

With that in mind, the longer it took for the Hero and his Sacred Sword to transcend, the greater the increase in their power.

But Shien was not one of them.

His body contained the Demon King Jade Jade, the Goddess Jade Jade, and the three Supreme Powers.

With the help of those powers, the Sacred Sword metamorphosed very quickly, and so did Shien's speed of fusing with divine power. At the very least, it was faster than the other Heroes.

That was why Shien did not need much time to transcend.

In fact, with the assistance of the Demon King Jade and the Goddess Jade, as well as the assistance of the Three Supreme Forces, it wouldn't be strange at all for Sean to instantly complete his metamorphosis and transcend.

The reason it did not happen was that Shien's Sacred Sword was too powerful. Even if the metamorphosis was accelerated, it would still take some time.

Moreover, not only was Shien's Sacred Sword metamorphosing, but he himself was also metamorphosing. Even the unawakened power hidden in his body was being awakened, causing the Demon King Jade and the Goddess Jade to not only assist the Sacred Sword's metamorphosis but also awaken that power. That was why Shien's transcendence was delayed a little.

But only a little.

Shien could vaguely understand how long it would take for him to transcend, for the Sacred Sword to complete its metamorphosis, and for the hidden power in his body to be completely awakened.

"Ten days."

"Ten days is enough."

Indeed.

Ten days was enough.

In ten days, Shien would transcend, the Sacred Sword would complete its metamorphosis, and the hidden power in his body would also be completely awakened.

This was the amazing effect brought about by the Demon King Jade and the Goddess Jade.

Actually, more than half of the ten days had passed.

"It has been eight days since I resonated with the Sacred Sword and triggered the metamorphosis."

Of these eight days, five were spent on subduing the Beastmen and bringing Elise and the other hostages back to the capital.

In these five days, Sean and the others spent two to three days to solve the problem of the Orcs in Kosmos. They released the hostages, negotiated with the leaders of the various Orc tribes, and captured the Orc tribes that advocated for betrayal as well as the blacksmiths that the Dwarves had sent to Kosmos. Then, they spent another two to three days rushing back to the King's City. It took a total of five days.

After that, he stayed in the capital for two days, Lilith, Shien, and Lilith, Lilith, Merica, rode on Yuline and went all the way to the Tagore Forest.

It took them almost a day to get there.

Thanks to Yuline, who had transformed from a monster into a Demon, her strength was greatly increased after transforming into a Dragon. Her flying speed was also much faster, so it only took about a day to reach the Tagore Forest.

Just like that, eight days had passed.

Today was the ninth day since the Sacred Sword had metamorphosed and Shien had crossed the threshold of transcendence.

In other words, after tomorrow, Shien's metamorphosis would come to an end.

Thanks to this, the holy wave emitted by the Sacred Sword today was so strong that it was astonishing.

It was because the time when the Sacred Sword would truly metamorphose and regain its original strength and appearance was not far away.

After tomorrow, Shien would officially transcend.

At that time, to what extent would his strength be enhanced?

He had been looking forward to it.

In addition, at that time, he would probably be able to awaken the power that was sleeping in his body and truly use the supreme power that had become his unique skill.

However, Shien still had mixed feelings about the existence of this power.

In the past, he did not know where this power came from, nor did he know why he possessed such power.

At this moment, he had already somewhat guessed why he possessed this power.

After all, if he really wanted to be calculative, this power had always been in his body.

It could be said that from the moment he was born, this power had already existed and accompanied him for the first half of his life.

Because of this power, Shien's past was more or less rough.

It was only later when this power gradually quietened down due to his rejection that his life was considered to be on the right path.

However, because of him, there were many less people in Shien's life.

He did not remember much in the past, but now, the past that Shien could recall, although there were still some parts that were not complete, almost all of them were scenes of him staying at home alone.

Perhaps this was why Shien had the interest to read novels, play games, catch up on cartoons, and read a lot of books on the Internet.

"Really … I don't know if I should say it's a blessing or a misfortune …"

Shien sighed faintly.

However, Shien still cheered himself up.

"Now is not the time to think about the past."

Those things were important, but they were not things that he should care about now.

Now, what Shien should care about was not the past, but the future.

After thinking about it, Shien could not help but touch his chest, feeling the existence of the holy sword and the two jade gems in his body.

"Three Supreme Concepts …"

"Hero … Demon King … Goddess …"

"Since all of you are focused on me, does it mean that all of you also want to reunite and get together again?"

Sean muttered to himself as if he was asking himself, but also as if he was asking someone else.

After a long while, Shien raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Can you hear me, Goddess?" Shien suddenly said. "If you can hear me, why don't you talk to me?"

As soon as Shien's voice fell, the space around him suddenly froze.

Immediately after, the feeling of the world spinning attacked Shien.

…

The edge of the Divine Realm, the land of the seal.

In the temple, Nyen was unfolding the light screen as usual. She looked at the scene on Shien's side and was startled when she heard him shout.

"What does he want to do?"

Nyen blinked as if she couldn't react.

She thought that Shien was calling out to her and wanted to talk to her.

Unfortunately, her temple had been forcibly sealed by the power of the Goddess, and she couldn't summon Shien at all.

Just as Nyen was thinking about this, Shien suddenly disappeared from the light screen in front of her.

Then, Sean's figure appeared in the temple in a whirl.

"Eh?"

Seeing this, Nyen couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately after, she became excited.

"Xi …!"

Nyen suddenly stood up, preparing to pounce in Shien's direction.

However, a petite figure immediately appeared in front of her, and with a wave of her hand, Nyen was thrown into a spatial vortex. She also disappeared in the same dizziness.

Nyen only felt as if she was rolling in a washing machine, gradually being swallowed by the spatial vortex.

Nion was furious when she realized what had happened.

"Despicable bastard! Ahhhhh —!!!"

Leaving behind such a cry, Nyen disappeared into the temple.

Only the petite Goddess was left. As if she had been here from the beginning, she quietly gazed at the figure in front of her.

…

"— —"

When the feeling of the world spinning disappeared, the first thing Shien felt was an otherworldly atmosphere.

The corridor of the queen's palace disappeared before his eyes, replaced by the scene of a solemn temple.

Shien shook his head and saw the Goddess standing in front of him.

Holding the God's Spear.

Wearing a fur coat.

Wearing revealing clothes, a petite figure, wearing a wizard hat, and an eyepatch, like a fairy Goddess.

The Goddess, who had transformed into the image of the Demon God that Shien liked, looked at him quietly, her gaze straight and calm.

"How does it feel to find the past?"

The Goddess inexplicably calmly took the initiative and asked such a question.

Shien was silent for a while, and then he responded.

"Terrible."

Shien gave such an answer.

"Is that so?" The Goddess wasn't surprised at all. She just looked at Shien deeply and said, "But you also found a very important memory, didn't you?"

"Yes." Shien said sarcastically, "But I also found that I was in a faraway situation that didn't belong to me from the beginning, and I was implicated by great existences that I didn't know at all."

Hearing this, the Goddess fell into a rare silence, as if she had nothing to say.

Seeing her like this, Shien calmed down and couldn't help but feel his emotions fluctuate.

Just now, he really hadn't been able to hold it in and let out all the frustrations in his heart.

"I'm sorry." Shien sighed and said to the Goddess, "I didn't mean anything by it."

"I know." The Goddess calmly replied:「 You're just confused by the sudden revelation of the truth, I can understand」

Besides, what Shien said wasn't wrong.

"You were implicated by existences that you don't know at all. This is a fact."

The Goddess said emotionlessly.

Shien didn't continue this topic.

He didn't know what to say, nor did he know what to say.

More importantly, he didn't know what attitude the Goddess in front of him had.

Since that was the case, it was still too early to discuss this matter.

"… How should I address you?"

Shien turned towards her.

The Goddess lowered her eyes.

"The owner of this image is called Eutinus, right?" The Goddess said with an unusually calm tone, "Then you can call me by that name for now."

Hearing this, Shien frowned.

"Is there any meaning to this?"

Shien questioned.

He had already guessed the Goddess' identity and knew her real name, but he didn't expect that she would want him to call her that.

"There is no meaning." The Goddess said, "It's just that in front of you, I don't have the right to name myself."

It seemed that the Goddess also deeply believed that Shien was implicated by her.

Under such circumstances, the Goddess indeed didn't have the pride to announce her name to Shien.

"…"

For a moment, Sean did not know how to respond to the other party's words.

So, he chose to enter the main topic.

"Can you tell me?" Shien stared at the Goddess who called herself Eutinus and finally said, "What happened back then?"

The Goddess who called herself Eutinus raised her eyes and looked at Shien again.

In the next second, the Goddess raised the Spear in her hand and stabbed it towards Shien's forehead without any warning.
