Chapter 2008 Relic of the Invisible Hand
Chapter 2008 Relic of the Invisible Hand
Once the notification has been received, Adrian has loosened his alertness a bit as he needed to relax. Piggy Bank also dropped down on the ground as he could no longer take the pressure. It seems that Piggy Bank\'s legs gave out and he was only standing due to the adrenaline. Adrian suddenly had another message from the underworld that he did not expect.
[The First Golden Goblin Lord is thanking you for defeating the parasitic being that abused its own body.]
[The cooldown of your Teleportation Skill has been reduced by 10%.]
[The mana consumption of all Spatial Movement skills has been reduced by 10%.]
[The First Golden Goblin Lord has entered the cycle of reincarnation thanks to you.]
Adrian could only smile as he did not think that there really was the soul of the First Golden Goblin Lord in the underworld. Beings like him that are blessed by gods could actually indefinitely stay in the afterlife as long as they have unresolved issues. They are beings that have been given the Heroes\' Privilege which is why they cannot reincarnate as long as they do not want to.
"If only all of them would be that easy to solve." Adrian muttered as he always disliked his audiences of these special beings when he is in Limbo.
The Memory Eater EX did not drop any loot at all which somewhat made Adrian angered. He could only curse the evil god for making the Memory Eater EX more powerful but not drop any item. He did like that the experience points shot through the roof, but he always has enemies that give lots of experience points. Before Adrian\'s anger meter skyrocketed, Dodu was finally able to destroy the mysterious building.
As soon as Dodu destroyed the outer layer, a powerful flash of light suddenly got released from the mysterious building. A powerful burst of divine energy swept across the area which actually killed Dodu. The divine energy was so thick that Adrian had to protect Piggy Bank from it. The wave of divine energy was so powerful that it took Adrian to use all of his divine energy to diffuse.
All of Adrian\'s divine energy bottomed out and will not regenerate for a while but he was able to defend Piggy Bank from it. Adrian told Dodu to rest well as it did a job well done and even protected them from the initial divine energy wave. As soon as the wave of divine energy died down, a relic suddenly floated above the mysterious building.
The relic was none other than the Relic of the Invisible Hand and it matches all the description that they have been initially given. A gold coin floating in the air while numerous ghostly hands were trying to clutch it as if the hands were greedy for it. Before Adrian or even Piggy Bank could react, Coin suddenly flew straight towards the relic.
"Wait!" Adrian shouted as he did not want a helper suddenly touching things when they have yet to determine if it was safe.
Coin did not wait or even hear Adrian\'s words as it touched the relic without any issue. As soon as Coin touched the relic, another burst of divine energy swept towards them, but it all flowed to Coin instead of dispersing. Coin suddenly glowed in pure divine energy as Piggy Bank also completed his current mission.
[You have aided your partner, Piggy Bank, in completing the quest: Awaken the Divine Soul of the Helper.]
[You have gained one level.]
[Your Luck stat has increased by 1.]
Coin that was a small floating gold coin with appendages suddenly started to grow into a more humanoid shape. The body soon turned to that of a young man that is barely clothed except for a golden robe created from golden silk. The face of the young man is also covered with golden silk as one could see that the gorgeous young man was blind. The olive skin and green hair even made the young man look otherworldly.
The young man feeling that its body has been reconstructed suddenly exploded with more divine energy. The divine energy that he released created a large golden coin floating behind him which solidified his godlike status. The golden coin is also minted with the etching of wheat to signify abundance.
[You are in the presence of the Lesser God of Wealth Plutus.]
"Thank you, Piggy Bank. I knew that I could count on you in order to restore my own power." The Lesser God of Wealth Plutus stated, and his voice sounded so pleasing to the ears as if you will be hypnotized by it.
"Hey! I helped too." Adrian stated in protest as he actually did the most work.
"Thank you for that as well, Champion Equinox. I knew that the friend of Piggy Bank would definitely help him." The Lesser God of Wealth Plutus stated with a smile.
"I would also like to thank you for the next thing that would happen." The Lesser God of Wealth Plutus added as if he knew that something would happen, and he did.
Lightning suddenly came across the wide sky and Adrian had to call upon Kimat to absorb it. Kimat roared and absorbed the lightning as if it was a snack. As soon as Kimat devoured the first lightning strike, the sky suddenly got filled with dark clouds as lightning basically scattered in all directions. The Lesser God of Wealth Plutus used the power of the relic of the Invisible Hand to create a barrier made of divine energy to protect them.
"Mortals dare defy the will of the gods!" A thundering voice came out from the clouds as it parted.
The clouds parted to reveal two gods riding a white cloud and Adrian already knew who they were. The two gods were none other than the God King Zeus and the God Queen Hera arriving at another realm as if they have been there before. The glares that Adrian received from the God King Zeus could be clearly seen but the Lesser God of Wealth Plutus also shared this glare.
"Greetings, Zeus and Hera." The Lesser God of Wealth Plutus stated which angered the God King Zeus even more and made him direct lightning to him but Adrian commanded Kimat to devour it once again.
"Insolent Beast!" The God Queen Hera stated as she released a powerful burst of mana towards Kimat.
The Lesser God of Wealth Plutus saw this and utilized the relic once more and erected a barrier that easily deflected the attack that the God Queen Hera used. The mere defiance of the Lesser God of Wealth Plutus made the God Queen Hera look offended. Adrian, on the other hand, did not look pleased as he changed back to his Netheros form because he was ready for battle.
"I have greeted you, but you did not even greet me back and look at me like I am invisible. You even dare to hit my benefactor and his friend." The Lesser God of Wealth Plutus stated as he suddenly released powerful bloodlust.
"A mere lesser god dares to be rude in front of the God King and God Queen? It seems that you need to be destroyed once more to learn your lesson." The God Queen Hera stated as she also released a powerful bloodlust to counter what the Lesser God of Wealth Plutus released.
"A mere woman that cannot even keep her husband in line dares to speak about teaching other beings a lesson?" The Lesser God of Wealth Plutus stated which angered the God Queen Hera to a great degree that she released a powerful wave of divine energy that had the power of a High Goddess. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
The God Queen Hera might not look like it, but she is a High Goddess in her own right. Even if the Lesser God of Wealth Plutus is supported by a powerful relic, he will not be able to defend himself against this attack. A flash of worry could be seen on the face of the Lesser God of Wealth Plutus, but he used all of the divine energy he can harness from the relic to defend them.
The God King Zeus also took offense with those words as he was described as a loose married man by the Lesser God of Wealth Plutus. The God King Zeus called upon thousands of lightning to destroy the lesser beings in front of him. Adrian already called upon the energies of the underworld in order to help the Lesser God of Wealth Plutus protect them.
"Enough!" A voice of a woman with great authority suddenly erupted as the holy relic that Adrian kept in the depths of his inventory suddenly glowed and shot out.
The holy relic of the Goddess of Life Demeter suddenly flew upwards to destroy the attack of the God King Zeus and the God Queen Hera. As soon as the attacks hit the holy relic, the entire area is suddenly covered with wheat stalks and grain that healed Adrian and his allies back to full health and mana.
