"Stay here, once my attempt fails there, give this to Su! And tell Him, no matter what method He uses, He must kill the Master of Hunting in the material world the moment it’s born!
There’s no room for negotiation."
"What is this thing?"
Triss had never seen the item stuffed into her hand.
She could only see its irregular gemstone-like shape, thinking it must be quite powerful to be considered a trump card by Little Murphy. Murphy bent down and whispered in Triss’s ear, as if in a parting kiss:
"A godhead... it’s the very godhead that Old Su Head was just stripped of."
"!!!"
Triss’s legs went weak with fear, and it was only with Murphy’s support that she didn’t fall to the ground. Her first reaction was to tuck the scorching item into her clothes, hiding it within her bulging chest.
Too hot to handle!
Too terrifying!
If the news that this item was in her hands leaked, it would probably instantly attract countless forces from around the world to hunt her down, and Transylvania could even be razed to the ground overnight.
"You... I won’t ask where you got this thing, but are you sure giving it to Su will restore Him to full strength?"
Triss, in a rare moment of insecurity, asked the question. Murphy nodded, then said:
"But this item isn’t actually meant for Su. Old Su Head has already gained precious freedom from the frontier covenant. I estimate that if given the choice, He would never step into the same river again. My Triss, this is prepared for you."
"Hmm?"
The Crimson Witch’s eyes widened.
Looking into Murphy’s meaningful eyes, she immediately understood this was Murphy’s "ultimate solution" against Mother of Midnight’s summons.
If things truly reach the worst conclusion in the future, Triss could use this artificial godhead to become an existence on the same level as Mother of Midnight, and thus, no matter what tricks that divine beast tries, it won’t be able to target Triss.
Of course, achieving this is not easier than straightforwardly dealing with the divine beast.
After all, the godhead core crafted by the creator is certainly not something any ordinary mortal can use. Although Murphy had been too busy to use Item Identification to check its attribute entries, even Triss could imagine the activation conditions are mind-bogglingly difficult.
"Don’t you desire it at all?"
Triss reached out to stroke Murphy’s cheek, speaking with complex emotions:
"You gave me the Ascension to Godhood... the dream of countless people. Honestly, Murphy, just now... I really had the thought of taking it for myself..."
"I once desired it but now feel no attachment, because someone warned me that this thing only seemed beautiful. Given that guy’s previous painful experience, I believe I must have the resolve not to take shortcuts.
If given the choice, I also hope you won’t use it."
Murphy smiled and said to Triss:
"Stay here, wait for my news!"
After speaking, Murphy activated the flight backpack of the Power Armor and flew into the sky, leaping into the Star Realm through the astral rift overhead, summoning Mannis to start astral walking immediately.
"I’ve been ready for you for a long time."
Mannis’s service was very considerate and carried a "strange" enthusiasm, as Pipi Snake let Murphy stand on its head, swaying its body to move the fastest through the Star Realm, and asked like an old taxi driver:
"Direct flight to Moss Valley, to massacre the War Spirit of the Master of Hunting, right?"
"No, not going there."
Murphy shook his head and said:
"Even with this Power Armor, I can’t fight against an Evil God that is about to awaken. We’re going somewhere else... where the sunship fell!"
"What to do there?"
Mannis said, surprised:
"Do you intend to repair that ship? It’s impossible! Even if I can use the Power of Time to temporarily restore it to completeness, the Divine Power of the Master of Hunting has already begun to erode the material world, so the effects of solar bombardment would be greatly diminished, and it won’t be able to directly bombard the Shrine like before."
"Hmm, the Power of Time has such a wonderful use?"
Murphy said in surprise:
"And your power has already recovered to such a degree? You can even affect the relics of the creator?"
"Uh, as your collaborator, I can’t stay stagnant while you’re growing, after all, as long as you keep walking, the road will keep extending."
Mannis accidentally revealed its secret, but its thick-skinned nature made it forcibly change the topic and say:
"So, how do you plan to use that Sanghai people’s ship?"
"First, the sunship isn’t Sanghai people’s, they’re just using it."
Murphy corrected:
"Secondly, the Sanghai people might not know where the sunship’s most powerful weapon is hidden, but it’s not their fault; the permissions tree for such military-grade carriers is certainly strict and complex, and it’s normal for them not to crack it with the permissions they have.
Lastly, you just need to take me there.
If all goes well, the Master of Hunting is doomed today.
Alas, here’s a match point.
Have you noticed, Mannis?
The Chaos Shadow is truly accelerating, they’re no longer content with victories in the sub-space, they crave more.
The Master of Hunting is the lever to pry open the material world... it must be broken, or no one will ever have peace."
"That’s not the only lever, Murphy."
The Endless One said quietly:
"The forces of the sub-space have long entered this world, now the situation is just bringing this conflict to the surface. Do you remember what I said to you and Triss last time you came to the Star Realm? Look at the now fragmented Star Realm.
If you can’t recognize the threat and unite, that will be your ultimate fate.
The creator sent you here, and He must have a mission for you. I know you’ve been working hard, but perhaps you should hurry a bit more."
"Stop pushing, stop pushing."
Murphy sighed and said:
"I’m truly working on it..."
