Free Web NovelChapter 2791: Chapter 931: The Master of Hunting: Good Thing I Died Early, or I’d Be Beaten to a Pulp
At the moment when dawn was approaching, His Highness Prince Hu Fu, accompanied by the loyal Guard Commander, arrived at the highest platform of the Sunship. This place was originally the area where the combat radar was set up, but that piece was flung out during the fall impact, and some Sanghai Elites were still nearby looking for that precious item.
So this platform seemed empty, but Murphy stood there.
He had already used the Sunship’s armor maintenance cabin to shed the heavy War Marshal’s equipment and was now wearing that perfect quality Greeney Lion Leather Armor, standing at the edge of the platform, hand resting on the railing, letting the night wind blow through his long hair.
His eyes looked into the distance, seemingly waiting for messages to return on the wind.
To say it was like a thought-provoking statue illustrating certain concepts about war would not be an exaggeration.
"Why are you standing here?"
His Highness Prince Hu Fu asked softly with respect:
"It doesn’t quite align with the demeanor of a hero who has just saved the Continent. Shouldn’t you be waiting for news of victory in the command room?"
"Victory is destined, Your Highness."
Murphy turned to look at the delicate-featured Crown Prince of Sanghai. He reached out to brush his black hair that was dancing in the wind and said:
"If we can’t win even after using God’s Scepter, it can only be said that this world has reached a time for its destruction. That is, after all, the second-ranked weapon in the creator’s arsenal."
"Something that can severely injure or even kill a Divine Spirit ranks only second?"
His Highness Prince Hu Fu exclaimed:
"With its destructive power capable of reshaping landscapes, it truly deserves to be called a civilization weapon."
"No, no, no, the reshaping of land and direct impact blasts are the least notable powers of God’s Scepter, my prince."
Murphy recalled the explanatory texts he had read atop the launch platform earlier. He corrected:
"Its true destructive power comes from the high-concentration Genesis Energy Crystals loaded in its explosive unit. It’s the weaponized product of the creative force used to create all things. Once it hits the target, it unleashes high-energy purification upon the target and all directly related creations.
This kind of purification operates directly at the existential level; it’s a form of power more terrifying than actual damage.
This means it cannot be exempted or resisted by any means. Once hit, the target can only fully endure the purification until the attack ends.
The creation energy inherently possesses myriad miraculous effects. Therefore, when weaponized, its high-concentration crystal explosion simultaneously erases all known physical laws within its effective range. At the moment of the explosion, all time, space, and physical rules become invalid and are then instantaneously reshaped under the rules set by the creator within the explosion’s range..."
He looked at His Highness Prince Hu Fu’s now confused eyes, shrugged, and succinctly summarized:
"God’s Scepter triggers a mini-Genesis at the point of impact, my prince. This weapon is not meant to deal with all enemies existing in the Material World. It’s a strategic weapon left by the creator for deterring Subspace shadows.
Once the Subspace shadows attempt their most destructive form to enter the Material World in an attempt to annihilate the world, a single God’s Scepter is the best response to their frenzied ambitions.
From its launch, I’ve understood that this ’descent of the Evil God’ episode is merely a test from the Forces of Chaos in the Subspace towards the Material World.
Do you understand?
The Master of Hunting is just a pawn!
The truly dangerous things behind it want to see if this world is still protected after the creator’s departure. They got the most direct response they could wish for, with the wild dogs getting a serious smack on the head. This should teach them caution.
I think for a long time to come, we won’t have to worry about a situation similar to the Master of Hunting’s arrival in the Material World coming up again."
"Hmm, with your explanation, I understand."
His Highness Prince Hu Fu replied somewhat sheepishly, but then he asked quietly:
"Can you launch a similar attack again?"
"Yes, the ’deterrent arsenal’ left by the creator is adequately stocked with ammunition. So soon, I will fire one more shot at a certain place in the Dark Mountain Range to destroy something that disgusts me and express my joy of victory."
Murphy said earnestly with his hands behind his back:
"It also means that certain sneaky fellows will be out of luck, just as their Subspace master got a clear response from the creator. I, too, will formally send out a signal of war to them with this splendid firework display."
"Wow, although I don’t know whom you’re targeting with such a weapon, the way you said it certainly carries the grandeur expected of the Chosen of the Creator!"
His Highness Prince Hu Fu praised:
"Just like those great figures in legends."
"You flatter me, and compared to the name Chosen of the Creator, I actually prefer another nickname..."
Murphy glanced at the multiform device in the shape of a silver-gray arm guard on his left arm and said softly:
"Call me the ’Swordbearer of the Creator’. In the Deterrence Era, we should use such more aggressive terms to remind our enemies not to act recklessly."
"Okay, it certainly is more aggressive than Chosen, but I’m still curious. You mentioned earlier that God’s Scepter is only the second-ranked weapon in the creator’s arsenal."
