"Rhode!"
Scarlet called out, cutting off Gu Qing Shan's thoughts.
"Huh?" Gu Qing Shan looked at her with a questioning expression.
Scarlet pulled him to one side and whispered:
"Rhode, I have something I need to ask of you"
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I originally wanted to tell you after you were done with your business, but I'm afraid there's no time now" Scarlet nervously said.
"Go ahead, I'm listening" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Scarlet drew the black flames scythe and said: "In truth, this weapon is where the God of Death's Authority resides, right?"
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "That's right, it and the Book of Prophesized Destinies are respectively the weapons of the God of Death and the Lord of Radiance, representing the two Laws of Authority"
Scarlet gave the black scythe back to Gu Qing Shan and said: "I originally wanted to use it to form the final step of my Star Force technique, but I can sense that it doesn't cooperate with my actions — — perhaps only the God of Death would be able to use it to its fullest potential, so I'm returning it to you now"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the scythe, then at the dejected Scarlet.
— — I really don't like using a weapon like a scythe.
He received the scythe and carefully sensed it.
Just as Scarlet said, if I use it to form Star Force and summon the beasts of Death, it would definitely be very powerful.
But this Divine Artifact is the God of Death's personal weapon, no one else can use it.
However, there is an exception:
If someone's grasp of the Law of Death surpasses the God of Death, this weapon would also listen to that person's orders and display its full power.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then said: "Scarlet, release your full power for me to see"
"Ah, alright"
Scarlet didn't understand, but still obediently stood still and unleashed the full power of her Law of Death.
A layer of black flames appeared from her body, burning intensely.
"I'll become stronger if I drink a bit" Scarlet explained.
"Then let's drink a bit" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Scarlet took out a bottle of strong liquor and gulped it down in one gulp.
Hoh — —
The flames on her body suddenly rose by thirty percent.
Gu Qing Shan secretly nodded.
In the mortal world, wine and death were a perfect match.
"Hmm, it's indeed effective. Can it be improved further?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Why would you do that?" Scarlet asked in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan calmly said: "If the Law of Death you control is stronger than the Grim Reaper, then you can also fully unleash the power of this Divine Artifact"
"Oh! Is that so? "
Scarlet suddenly realized and became excited.
Gu Qing Shan also smiled and said, "Do your best, think of another way. As long as your Law of Death surpasses mine, this scythe will be yours to construct the Star Law."
"Alright! Then I'm going to be serious! "Scarlet said.
She took out a few bottles of wine from her Inventory and began to make a cocktail.
She completed the concoction in a dazzling manner and held a glass of blue wine in her hand.
"Rhode, this is a type of strong liquor that I made, it can increase my Law of Death by another 20 percent!" Scarlet said.
"Ah? Does this liquor have a name? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Yes, it's the same name as my Star Law, called 'Crab'" Scarlet replied.
"Crab?" Gu Qing Shan chuckled.
— — no one had ever called the liquor they made 'Crab' before.
Scarlet replied with a flushed face: "That's right, this name fits my Star Law perfectly. The Star of Death I'm about to construct is a crab, unfortunately, the scythe doesn't fit"
"Why a crab?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Because in the Star Law that Mu taught me, my power is most suited to manifesting two types of protective powers, which perfectly match the crab's pincers" Scarlet replied.
"Furthermore" Scarlet clenched her small fist: "I'm a follower of the Grim Reaper, I'm going to walk sideways on the battlefield from now on!"
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but chuckle again and said: "Two types of protective powers? That should be a defensive power, are you only going to focus on defense? "
"Hm, I've decided to support you — — you'll fight at the front, and I'll provide you with two unique types of protection from behind" Scarlet replied.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit.
The Star Law that Boss taught her was naturally the strongest, there was no doubt about that.
But for Scarlet's personal development, defense alone isn't enough.
Gu Qing Shan spoke with a serious expression: "Scarlet, that's not enough. Other than providing protection for others, you should also have a bit of offensive power of your own. This is very important on the battlefield, especially since we don't have enough people right now, no one would be able to help you in a lot of emergencies"
"Ah … I'll keep that in mind …" Scarlet appeared contemplative.
"Alright, now let me see your power" he said.
Scarlet then downed the entire glass in one gulp.
Boom!
Her body began to exude an even more powerful fluctuation of power, the black flames became even more intense.
"How is it? Did I surpass you? "Scarlet cautiously asked.
Gu Qing Shan stood on one side and silently evaluated.
— — -compared to me, there's still quite a bit of difference.
If that's the case, I still can't unleash the full power of the black flames scythe.
I can't use this scythe …
Facing Scarlet's hopeful gaze, Gu Qing Shan's lips twitched a bit, then closed them back down.
The current situation is becoming more and more dangerous, no one knows what will happen next, and I can't guarantee Scarlet's safety either.
I need to give her a bit of power …
Gu Qing Shan rotated the Bramble Ring on her hand and quickly made her decision.
"Come, Scarlet, you're just a bit away from surpassing me. We need to research a few new liquors to see if they can help you improve your Law of Death a bit further" Gu Qing Shan said.
He placed bottles of liquor on the ground one by one, quickly placing 7-8 different types of liquor on the table.
Scarlet endured the black flames around her body, crouched down, casually picked up one of the bottles, and took a sniff.
"This liquor also seems quite normal" she commented.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied: "That's what mixing liquor is all about — — you can find your own sense of transcendence from the ordinary"
He quickly mixed a glass of liquor and placed it in front of Scarlet.
Scarlet looked at the liquor.
The originally light-colored liquor, after being mixed by Gu Qing Shan, had turned into a dark red with a hint of black.
"What kind of liquor is this?" she asked with interest.
"I call it the Flames of Death" Gu Qing Shan casually replied.
Scarlet raised the glass and took a small sip.
"What a good liquor!"
She drank it all in one gulp, then smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her.
"Hm? It's so good — — why are you looking at me like that? "Scarlet asked.
"Do you think you're drinking it for free? Hurry up and see if your Law of Death has improved or not! "Gu Qing Shan scoffed.
"I'm sorry, I forgot!" Scarlet blushed.
She fully unleashed her power, causing the black flames to rise several inches higher.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded and encouraged her: "That's right, it seems we're just a bit away from achieving our goal"
He took out a few bottles of liquor and mixed another glass of liquor.
"What is this?" Scarlet asked expectantly.
"Bloodthirster" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Scarlet raised the glass and tried taking a sip.
"What a strong liquor, it makes one feel a bit depressed. Seems like you weren't in a good mood when you mixed this liquor" she scowled.
Gu Qing Shan appeared nostalgic as she felt a bit bitter.
"Let's try again" he said.
Scarlet fully activated her Law of Death.
The black flames rose several inches higher.
— — -at this point, her Law of Death was about the same as Gu Qing Shan's.
"Alright, just a bit more and you'll be able to surpass me" Gu Qing Shan said.
Scarlet excitedly jumped up and hugged Gu Qing Shan's arm: "Give me another glass, Rhode, I beg you, give me your best liquor, my Star Force technique is only one step away!"
"Alright, no need to beg me like that, let me think about what other liquor there is" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
He carefully thought for a while.
— — among all the liquor, there was only one that could surpass [Bloodthirster] and [Flames of Death].
Gu Qing Shan stopped smiling and picked up a bottle of liquor.
He began to take out several bottles of liquor and skillfully mixed a glass of liquor.
"Whoa, what kind of liquor is this?"
Scarlet licked her lips and asked expectantly.
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly, then replied: "It doesn't have a name, just drink it"
Scarlet raised the glass and downed it in one gulp.
The strong wine was like fire, calcining her emotions, causing her to close her eyes uncontrollably.
Bitter.
Intense.
Burning.
Destruction, loneliness, sorrow.
And finally, a hint of sweetness of deep longing.
After closing her eyes for a bit, Scarlet opened them again and looked at Gu Qing Shan in shock. Tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks.
"Hm? What's the matter? "Gu Qing Shan scowled and asked.
Scarlet hurriedly wiped her tears and shook her head: "I don't know either"
She stood up and forcefully activated her Law — —
Boom!
Intense flames erupted from her body, turning her surroundings into a scene of intertwining red and black.
"Rhode, I can feel … that I've already surpassed you" she muttered.
After saying so, she waved her hand to manipulate the void of space, manifesting the stars in the darkness and giving off blinding light.
Gu Qing Shan happily nodded.
"You can use it now"
He offered the black flames scythe to her.
Scarlet received the scythe and placed it in the middle of the stars.
"Rhode, you just said that I need offensive power as well as defensive power" she said.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"I've already thought it through. Aside from the two defensive powers, I'll also specifically create an offensive power"
"If that's the case … my star won't be called Crab"
"I want to call it Scorpio"
