Chapter 783: Heartformed Sword
Chapter 783: Heartformed Sword
Upon hearing this news, Li Sai's expression turned solemn.
He ended his conversation with Alice.
Then, he looked at the man before him, the one wielding the Steelheart Sword.
Kang Song's future was not only destined to become the king of the City of Laws, but he would also fulfill the ideals he held dear!
"Hmm?"
"Why do I feel like your gaze has suddenly changed?"
Li Sai's mindset shifted, and Kang Song, who was in front of him, reacted immediately. His perception abilities far surpassed those of Alice, a Sixth Stage Awakened.
The Righteous One turned around.
In the lion's eyes, there was both joy and confusion.
"Li Sai, just now, your attitude towards me seemed to be one of scrutiny and hesitation, but now you suddenly have a favorable impression of me?"
"..."
"Dealing with you Righteous Ones, it seems like you can perceive every detail with absolute clarity."
Li Sai sighed, and Kang Song burst into hearty laughter.
"Oh, no, no."
"I'm only proficient in this path, so I've achieved some success. If we're talking about probing and perception, the Awakened who specialize in refining their senses are even more formidable. I still have a long way to go!"
Kang Song wasn't just being modest.
His open and generous demeanor was also reflected in his Essence Skill.
Li Sai began to ponder.
The man before him was upright and open-minded, and in the future, he would become the king of the City of Laws, leaving a good name in history.
Perhaps he could share the information about the current time disturbance with him?
Before making a decision, Li Sai conducted a final test:
"Kang Song, I haven't been in this world for very long. Can you tell me about the City of Laws?"
Kang Song nodded generously:
"After the rise of Believers and Deities, many worlds have embraced this path. The City of Laws, as a place entangled with laws, naturally remains unaffected by such influences. However, within the City of Laws, opinions are divided into two factions. Some believe we should maintain our principles and continue exploring the path of rules and order, while others advocate for taking the initiative, upholding justice, and curbing the greed and expansion of Deities and Believers."
Upon hearing this, Li Sai's expression changed in surprise.
"Deities... their rise..."
Kang Song's words revealed two pieces of information.
First, the time he was currently in was during the process of the Deities' rise, just before the era of their rule over the entire universe. Second, Kang Song's tone indicated that the City of Laws had the confidence to annihilate the Deities.
The former was information about the era they were in.
The latter revealed the true strength of the City of Laws.
Thirteen world capitals and worlds, thirteen super Awakened factions.
In this universe, while numbers and influence were important, it was their genuine strength that truly granted them such status.
As Li Sai contemplated this, Kang Song continued his narrative:
"Such a decision should have been made by the king of the City of Laws. However, the previous king did not designate a successor before his departure, and people have simply maintained the City of Laws' lifestyle according to past inertia, preserving its stability in different states..."
Following Kang Song's words, Li Sai said:
"So, because of differing opinions on this matter, war broke out?"
Kang Song nodded in acknowledgment:
"The Righteous Ones are such a destabilizing factor. Not long ago, someone finally couldn't bear to sit idly by. They attempted to enter the royal city and gain the identity of the king of the City of Laws. But the result—they failed."
Li Sai naturally drew a conclusion:
"So, the current war started because of the battle for the kingship and the divergence of opinions?"
Kang Song let out a bitter laugh:
"Yes, it's for such a purpose."
Lindsey retorted, "Mr. Kang Song, what is your purpose then? With the Steelheart Sword in your hand, you must have your own goals amidst this chaos."
Upon hearing Lindsey's inquiry, Kang Song suddenly laughed. "Now, this is interesting."
"Whether you believe it or not, this sword wasn't something I fought for or took by force. It just appeared in my hand!"
As he spoke, the Righteous One boldly presented the Steelheart Sword before Lindsey.
Lindsey examined the attributes of the weapon.
[Conceptual Equipment: Heartformed Sword]
[Forged from the aspirations of all humanity for order, infused with concepts of victory, kingship, and law, this is a unique weapon.
After equipping, all attributes increase by 50%.
[Sword in Hand: When not in use, the Heartformed Sword can remain hidden within the user's body, making it extremely difficult to detect, even by abilities like prophecy.]
[Sword in Action: The strength and range of the Heartformed Sword's attacks change according to the user's will.]
[Unbreakable Spirit: Possesses the power to sever causality, rules, fate, and other such concepts.]
[Indestructible Blade: The Heartformed Sword is a fully conceptual creation. Even if destroyed in the Neutron Star Forge, as long as humanity's desire for order remains, it will reappear in the hands of its owner.]
[King: Proof of Kingship from the City of Law.]
["Oh King, only you are worthy of this sword!"
"Senior, you and the Crown of Extinction will perish together... I will take your sword back to the City of Laws, bringing Dawn and Hope with me! No matter how challenging this journey may be, I will succeed. This is the 'Righteousness' I shall uphold!"]
[Unique Item, its ownership cannot be actively transferred.]
Lindsey fell silent.
If his Indestructible Blade possessed the highest level of indestructibility, then this Steelheart Sword was even more impossible to destroy. After all, the foundation of this weapon lay within human civilization itself. Unless all humans in the world were eliminated, this thing would exist forever!
Examining its effects further, there was a 50% increase in all attributes, and a vague statement about its power and range changing with the user's will.
"This sword of yours is indeed over-the-top," Lindsey said, shaking his head at the Heartformed Sword.
Kang Song agreed, "Yes, holding it makes me feel empowered, as if my will has been strengthened as well."
Changing the topic, Kang Song steered the conversation back to his goals. "In any case, the rise of deities in recent years has led to changes in local customs and cultures in many places. This situation might even affect the City of Laws. So, I think it's time to replace some outdated customs with ones that align with the progress of the times."
With that, Kang Song retracted the Steelheart Sword into his body.
He stood firm, turned to face Lindsey with a solemn expression, and extended an invitation. "So, Lindsey, will you join my team?"
"Although we're just starting, and the future is uncertain, I believe that as long as we do what's right, the road ahead, no matter how bumpy, will eventually be smoothed out by us!"
