Chapter 92: After the Great Battle
Chapter 92: After the Great Battle
"That dagger," Su Yu was taken aback.
That dagger was clearly a fantastic item, at the very least a Legendary-grade equipment, or even better!
However, the ownership of the dagger was indeed a troublesome matter.
"Hmm..." Su Yu thought for a moment and seriously replied, "In my opinion, we should destroy the dagger."
"Destroy... destroy it?!" All the Legendaries simultaneously cast a "Are you joking?" look at Su Yu.
To destroy such a top-tier piece of equipment was a colossal waste!
"Yes, it's better to destroy it," Su Yu emphasized again.
He looked around at all the Legendaries present and finally focused his gaze on Kevin Ginkgo: "Sir Kevin, I ask you, if the ownership of this dagger is finally determined, and it doesn't belong to you but is taken by another Legendary, would you feel at ease?"
Kevin Ginkgo was taken aback.
After some thought, he shook his head and chuckled bitterly, "I'm afraid not. Even if the Legendary who gets the dagger promises me a large amount of resources as compensation and swears not to attack me, I can't completely feel at ease."
The scene of the dagger slicing through the Final Heavenly Water Curtain left a deep impression on him, one that was etched into his mind, impossible to forget.
If the dagger ended up in someone else's hands, he would likely be unable to sleep or eat in peace! Who wouldn't worry about something like Bernelina's incident happening to them? Being hit and having their defenses shattered in one blow?
Su Yu turned his gaze to the other Legendaries: "Everyone, I think your thoughts are similar to Sir Kevin's, right?"
"Hmm." The Legendaries hesitated but nodded.
"Since that's the case," Su Yu concluded, "destroying it is the best solution, beneficial for everyone."
"..." No one among the Legendaries spoke.
After hearing his words, they all agreed with Su Yu's idea deep down. Destroying the dagger was indeed the best for everyone.
But who wouldn't want to possess such a world-class divine weapon? Or at least take it back for thorough study?
Seeing the conflicted expressions on the Legendaries, Su Yu didn't waste more time on this matter.
He smiled, "You all continue to consider it. I'll go check on Lady Bernelina and see how her injuries are healing."
With that, Su Yu used Instant Teleport to leave the spot and arrived beside Bernelina.
...
Bernelina was now floating in the sky, enveloped in a dense green light sphere.
Four 7th-rank Great Druids from the Elven Kingdom surrounded her, using Nature-based healing spells to nourish her body.
Under the nurturing of the Nature-based spells, Bernelina's torn organs, skin, and tissues gradually repaired themselves, and the parts of Cecilia's body were removed.
Most notably, Bernelina's water-blue core was pulsating vigorously, continuously releasing a deep blue water elemental energy to mend her body, accelerating her recovery.
Su Yu observed for a while from the side.
He found that Bernelina was in a good state of recovery. Recovering from such severe injuries was just a matter of time.
However, it was still early for Bernelina to regain consciousness. Based on his judgment, it would take at least two to three days (in-game time) for Bernelina to wake up and regain the ability to communicate.
"Blue Whale, notify me immediately when Bernelina wakes up," Su Yu instructed the AI Blue Whale.
Su Yu had many questions he wanted to ask Bernelina, the most important one being—what was that "mosaic" Cecilia waved at the village head? Judging from the village head's expression, he clearly recognized what the "mosaic" was.
By starting from this point, they might be able to uncover Cecilia's identity.
...
However, all of this would have to wait until Bernelina woke up.
Su Yu glanced around, preparing to log out.
He wanted to check on Tina in the real world, to see how her recovery was progressing.
Just then, the 10 Legendaries, led by Kevin Ginkgo and Bard, flew over to him.
From a distance, Kevin Ginkgo shouted loudly to Su Yu, "Sir Counter, we have already destroyed the dagger. Thank you for your valuable advice!"
"No need to thank me, I was just speaking my mind," Su Yu replied with a smile.
Bard added, "We have cut the dagger into 14 pieces, completed just now by the King of the Dwarves. We would like to gift two of these fragments to you and the kitten Morning Star, as a memento of our battle."
After arriving beside Su Yu, Bard handed over two pitch-black fragments to Su Yu and the cat, Chenxin.
Chenxin had slacked off a bit during the battle, but since all the god-level beings present received a fragment, she was no exception.
"My share can be kept by my nemesis," Chenxin said nonchalantly, flicking her whiskers.
Bard didn't comment, merely smiling as he placed the two fragments in Su Yu's hands.
Fragment of the Rift Union Blade (Rare)
Planetary Material
Trait 1:???
Trait 2:???
Trait 3:???
The fragment's attributes were completely obscured because it had been destroyed. However, the term "Planetary Material" still stood out, indicating that the original item was indeed a planetary-grade equipment.
Su Yu knew he probably wouldn't see the full form of the Rift Union Blade again, so he didn't dwell on it. He casually stored the fragments in his backpack, thinking he could trade them with Donna later. She might know their value.
"These fragments will serve as a testament to our battle today!" Su Yu smiled, looking at all the god-level beings present. "Do any of you have other matters to discuss? Or were you just here to deliver the fragments?"
"Of course, there is one more thing," Kevin Ginkgo's expression grew serious. "This matter is—Nemesis, on behalf of all the species in our evolutionary world, I sincerely thank you for helping us eliminate this monster. If Cecilia had successfully merged, it would have been a catastrophe for our plane! Thank you for averting this disaster!"
All the god-level beings present knew that if Su Yu hadn't found a way to summon Cecilia to the real world, her plan would have likely succeeded.
Cecilia merging with Bernina, coupled with the Rift Union Blade, would have unleashed a bloodbath in the main plane!
Thanks to Su Yu, that disaster was averted.
"You're welcome, it's what we should do," Su Yu said politely. "Our two worlds are interconnected. If the evolutionary world faces problems, our world will suffer as well. We should strive for harmonious coexistence and mutual benefit."
Kevin Ginkgo smiled and said earnestly, "But even so, gratitude should be expressed. No help is ever taken for granted... How about this! Let's discuss it, and we'll send a grand gift to the humans of Blue Star! We'll decide what the gift will be, but you must accept our goodwill!"
"Alright, I look forward to your gift," Su Yu replied with a smile.
At the same time, a series of game notifications sounded in his ears.
Ding, your reputation with the [Ginkgo Empire] has increased by 0, current level: [Adoration].
Ding, your reputation with the [Eternal Tree] has increased by 2400, current level: [Adoration].
Ding, your reputation with the [Hill Fortress] has increased by 10000, current level: [Reverence].
Ding, your reputation with the [Marokan Tribe] has increased by 10000...
According to the game notifications, except for the [Ginkgo Empire], which had already maxed out its reputation, his reputation with all the major factions in the main plane increased by 10000 points! While this 10000-point boost wasn't significant at his current stage, it represented the goodwill of all the major factions in the main plane.
...
After a brief conversation, Su Yu bid farewell to the god-level beings. "Everyone, I'll take my leave. I need to check on Tina's condition."
"Alright, see you, Nemesis," they replied with smiles.
After saying goodbye to the god-level beings, Su Yu exited the game and returned to the real world.
Chenxin and Ailijie (now Lovely Starlight) were also very concerned about Tina's condition, so they followed Su Yu back to the real world.
Back in the real world, Chenxin jumped onto his shoulder, urging him, "Hurry up, let's go see Tina!"
"Sure," Su Yu locked onto Tina's location through her aura and teleported with Chenxin and Lovely Starlight.
Tina was currently being treated at the Skrull Base's main command center.
In addition to the still unconscious Tina, a sixth-tier cleric player was also present, tending to her.
This sixth-tier cleric player was one of Su Yu's trusted allies—Wings Divine Dragon (no change, as it appears to be an English name).
In the past two months, due to the lack of high-tier players with healing and support capabilities in the United Government, they had focused on training some high-end clerics and other support classes.
One of them is the Winged Divine Dragon.
She gained her share of resources through her own efforts and Su Yu's recommendation, then she trained for 12 hours a day without interruption. Now, she has advanced to the Sixth Rank.
Since she is Su Yu's confidante, she is the most suitable person to take care of Tina. Therefore, the AI Blue Whale assigned her the task of looking after Tina.
...
When Su Yu teleported into the main command room, he immediately saw the Winged Divine Dragon and Tina, who was lying on the operating table with a pale face.
Tina's face was not only pale, but her lips had also lost all color, and her eyes were tightly shut, indicating that she was in great pain.
However, the good news was that Tina's breathing was steady, and her heartbeat was strong. Her muscles and tissues were gradually regaining vitality, which reassured Su Yu.
...
Seeing Tina, Morning Star, the cat, immediately transformed into her Starlight Tree form, casting large swaths of Starlight Healing over Tina's body.
Of course, she wasn't blindly using healing spells. Her magic focused on nurturing and repairing Tina's injuries without overwhelming her with excessive magical energy.
Alyssa sat down beside the command table, worry etched on her face as she held her friend's cold right hand.
Su Yu sat on the other side of the table, placing his fingers on Tina's pulse.
At the same time, he asked the Winged Divine Dragon, "Winged Divine, how is Tina doing now?"
"She has recovered a bit," the Winged Divine Dragon said with a slight sense of relief. "Tina was in a near-death state earlier, and I thought she wouldn't make it.
However, after Cecilia was slain, Tina received a significant power boost. She is now out of immediate danger.
I used deep healing spells to repair a lot of her internal injuries. With some more rest and care, I believe she will wake up soon!"
"That's good, thank you for your hard work!" Su Yu sighed in relief. It was a relief that Tina could recover quickly.
He realized that he needed to do something else in the future: find a way to separate Tina's power from Bernina's.
Otherwise, if Bernina encounters danger again, Tina could suffer the same fate as today.
Tina must gain control over her own pure power to avoid being at the mercy of her ancestor.
While Su Yu was contemplating how to separate Tina's power from Bernina's, the Winged Divine Dragon curiously asked, "Boss, you know how to take a pulse?"
"Uh, no," Su Yu admitted honestly.
The Winged Divine Dragon looked at Tina's right hand. "Then why did you put your hand on her pulse?"
"Uh, isn't that how it's always shown on TV?" Su Yu sheepishly withdrew his hand from Tina's left wrist.
He wasn't lying; he really didn't know how to take a pulse. The gesture was more symbolic than practical.
But it was a genuine show of concern. Besides, what was his relationship with Tina? There was nothing wrong with this.
Just as he was about to say something to ease the awkwardness, the AI Blue Whale sent him a message on his electronic terminal.
Taking out his terminal, he read the message from AI Blue Whale: "Su Yu, I know you are very concerned about Tina and Cecilia's plot, but don't forget the main task at hand.
Our most pressing priority is to reclaim as many giant psychic springs as possible. The Skrulls are still draining the psychic energy!
You can't afford to forget these most important tasks!"
"Oh, right, there's that too." Thanks to AI Blue Whale's reminder, Su Yu remembered their most important mission.
Distracted by Cecilia, he almost forgot about the more significant task he had to shoulder.
With Cao Chengxiang and the First Emperor absent, he had to step up.
"Blue Whale," Su Yu replied, "When do we start the assault on the next spring?"
"Based on my calculations, 6 AM tomorrow is the best time," AI Blue Whale replied.
"In the recent battle, you all expended a lot of energy. Chairman Hu will do his best to supply you with as many psychic energy canisters as possible, but it will take some time for you to fully recover.
6 AM tomorrow is the most suitable time for the assault. By then, most of the high-ranking players will have recovered their strength, and the cooldown on your suite's ultimate ability will be over. We can seize another spring during this window!"
"Alright, leave the planning of the assault to you and Chairman Hu. Just let me know when it's time." Su Yu said with a sense of relief.
With AI Blue Whale handling the details, they could save a lot of effort. Let Blue Whale take care of it!
