Chapter 339: God Slayer
After leaving Amelia in a veritable paradise for mages, Ethan headed straight for his office, closing the door behind him before sinking into the high-backed leather chair.
Finally, it was time to get his sword.
He had been very specific with the system’s filters, targeting the sword of the Fallen God-Emperor—likely an SSS-Rank item.
Normally, it was impossible to determine an item’s exact rank in the Luck System, but there was still a way to get around that.
The system defined each item based on various keywords, and in this world, an item’s name was directly tied to its power.
When he narrowed down an item by its tags or description, the system would try to find the closest match to those parameters.
An item generated with the "divine" tag could never be lower than Rank S, and in most cases, not even lower than Rank SS.
Because of this, his confidence was sky-high.
Opening the system’s inventory with a simple thought, he retrieved exactly forty lucky tickets. Each one floated above the desk, spinning gently and glowing with a soft golden light.
In the next instant, he activated them all at once.
A burst of intense, brilliant light flooded the entire office, blinding his blue eyes for a moment as it ricocheted off the polished stone walls in dazzling streaks.
Ethan blinked a few times until his vision adjusted to the glare, then ignored every item below Rank A, focusing only on the ones that truly mattered.

[Notice: You can link the "Regional Planning" skill to the "Instant Construction" skill.]
[Reach the Kingdom level to unlock the "National Planning" feature.]
A slow smile curved the corner of Ethan’s mouth. Every one of those items was absolutely incredible—four Rank A items, one Rank S, and one Rank SS.
Still, he didn’t dwell on them for long, since he had already reached item number thirty-nine...
Upon seeing the reward appear on the screen—just an ordinary Rank C sword with nothing special about it—Ethan finally shifted his gaze to the fortieth ticket, the last one yet to be revealed.
A reddish light streaked with golden veins flooded the office in a violent surge, and the floor beneath his feet trembled with a deep, reverent hum.
Before him, a status screen materialized in the air.
[Congratulations! You have received: God Slayer (Rank SSS)]
[Name: God Slayer
Description: A legendary sword, forged by the very hands of the Fallen God-Emperor with a single purpose: to bring the fury of men into the divine realm.
With this blade, he slew several lesser gods and gravely wounded the God of War.
It was declared a profane item after the Fallen God-Emperor’s downfall and was lost to time.
It is capable of withstanding direct blows from gods and directly wounding the divinity of transcended beings.
While wielding this weapon, your attacks deal 550% holy damage to corrupted enemies.
While wielding this weapon, your aura consumption is reduced by 70%.
While wielding this weapon, the potency of all your abilities is increased by 300%.
While wielding this weapon, your stamina consumption is reduced by 90%.
While wielding this weapon, you can summon the God-Emperor’s Armor.
Enemies killed by this weapon leave behind something called divinity. Every being possesses a certain level of divinity, but the amount required to become truly divine is astronomical.
The amount of divinity absorbed depends on the talent of the target you defeat. Targets from the darkness leave behind double the amount of divinity.
Smaller amounts of divinity can be fused and transformed into talent pills and many other useful items.
Current Divinity: 0
Rank: SSS]
Ethan’s blue eyes sparkled as he scanned each line of the description. This was far beyond what he had expected.
[Warning! This is a weapon banned by the Nine. Accepting it will severely damage your relationship with the gods. Do you wish to decline it? A random new item of equivalent level will be generated.]
[Accept] [Decline]
Ethan didn’t hesitate for even a second, clicking "Accept" with a contemptuous look in his eyes.
Fuck the gods. He only needed his three goddesses.
[The God of War glares at you with fury]
[The God of the Sun and Justice narrows his eyes with murderous intent]
[The God of Wisdom lets out a dry, cruel laugh]
[The Goddess of Life looks at you with curiosity]
[The Goddess of Beauty looks at you with interest]
[The Goddess of Death seems excited by your virile personality and your lack of fear of the gods]
...
...
...
[A curse has been placed on you]
[You have received a blessing from the Goddess of Life]
[You have resisted the curse]
[A curse has been placed upon you]
[You have received a blessing from the Goddess of Beauty]
[You have resisted the curse]
[A curse has been placed upon you]
[You have received a blessing from the Goddess of Death]
[You have resisted the curse]
Ethan calmly ignored the notifications, the corner of his mouth curving into a smile.
As for the three goddesses who had protected him, he was grateful, even though it was entirely unnecessary.
The truth was that the gods’ curses had a very weak effect on those who didn’t directly follow them, especially in Goldenveil, where the worship of any deity other than the Three was strictly illegal.
A single night of circulating his aura would be more than enough to rid himself of them.
[Warning: Starting at the fifth stage, angels may be sent to eliminate you.]
"As long as it’s a hot, busty angel, I don’t mind," Ethan said with a mischievous chuckle, finally retrieving the God Slayer from his spatial ring.
