Chapter 487-Naga

"Gods are superior beings in the first place, and we are just creatures that stemmed from them, but we have weak bodies and souls."

"My master was favored by the gods and became the Sword Hero. He even had the chance to receive teachings from the Ten Commandments, but he hated the fact that he was weak and failed to protect his friend."

"The Gods also abandoned him and even framed him for things he never did," the woman said, and Naga asked again.

"If I accept his inheritance, will I be hunted by other races? After all, Lord Celestial Slayer was one of the most hated beings in the celestial plane."

The woman shook her head and said, "You can accept it without worry, and you can use his power as long as you don't reveal everything. You found this place, so it means you are fated to help my teacher clear his name and kill the perpetrator."

"My teacher is already dead, but before he died, his obsession to clear his name was still there, so he passed his inheritance to the fated one."

"He said that when the inheritor reached the level comparable to God, they must find who framed him from the massacre of other top powerhouses from other races."

"He was framed for a sin he never committed, and he couldn't explain himself because even Gods didn't believe him."

"He tried his best to explain himself that he was framed, but others didn't believe him. So he did his best to protect himself and killed some along the way because he was being hunted."

"He also lost his blessings from the Gods, so he became weaker, but his belief in Sword Dao never backed down. He comprehended something that can even kill a god."

"He became the Celestial Slayer, and even though he was strong enough to kill powerhouses, he still couldn't escape the river of time and died from exhausting his lifespan."

The woman told the story while tears streamed down her eyes, and she was the only one who witnessed how her master suffered from a sin he had never committed.

She was the sword of Celestial Slayer, created by the Blacksmith Emperor with the blessing of the Sword Goddess.

"Now it's up to you if you are ready to bear such a fate," she said, looking at Naga, who seemed to have made a decision.

"Okay, I will take revenge for him and kill the one who framed him,"

Naga declared. She had found this place before but was still hesitating because of the fate she might face.

However, she reached her current level due to the guidance of the woman in the sword.

She had been using the sword but couldn't exert its full power because she was weak.

She could only wield it properly if she accepted the inheritance.

Naga clenched her fist, determined to get stronger and help her empire.

It was the only way she found while not relying on the so-called God.

Dave went back to check on the status of Caryll and Hannah.

Upon his return, he realized that both were still persevering inside the cauldron.

Despite the intense pain, neither of them was willing to give up.

Dave admired their dedication and decided to set the time ratio in the cauldron so that they could refine their bodies without worrying about time constraints.

After making this adjustment, he let Flamy guide them.

Despite Flamy's appearance, he was one of the oldest beings, born at the same time as the True Dragons so he should be reliable.

Satisfied with their progress, Dave checked on the two young girls and then went to his space world to see his other lovers.

To his surprise, he learned that the girls had left together with Gabriella, heading to the Spirit Realm where his acquaintance Tracy was because her world was in danger.

Kirito informed him that Tracy's Fairy clan was under attack by the Insect Race.

Tracy had warned them not to return to the Spirit Realm due to the danger, but the girls decided to help their friend, knowing how to repay a favor.

Dave wasn't angry about their decision. Instead, he understood their loyalty and was not overly concerned about their safety.

With the blood connection he had with each of them, he could revive them if something were to happen, considering it a part of their training.

Dave, being able to revive individuals with a drop of their blood, had collected samples from each of the girls to ensure their safety.

Dave blessed the girls with his power and provided them with tokens to access his space world, ensuring they could escape easily if needed.

Despite lacking fighting experience, he appreciated their dedication to catch up to him.

Though he wanted to protect them, he knew they were determined not to be a burden.

Dave then telepathically contacted Gabriella to inquire about the situation in the Spirit Realm.

"Gabriella, what's the situation?"

. . . . . . . . . . .. . . . 

In the Spirit Realm, a top-tier realm that sheltered various races connected to the Life Goddess, such as Elves, Dwarves, Fairies, and Druids, nature-loving beings once at their peak.

However, they suffered losses in a war against demons, and many of their powerhouses couldn't be resurrected by the Goddess of Life due to the demons devouring their souls.

After the war, their population dwindled to 2/10 of its original size, with numerous kings and elders among the casualties.

The Spirit Realm, once a pinnacle of peace, had been restored over many years. Only the Elves, Fairies, Druids, and Dwarves managed to maintain their strength, with their kings at the peak of Transcendental Being providing security.

The other races in the Spirit Realm became subsidiaries of these top four races, fostering unity and peace among them.

However, a crisis emerged as the Insect Race, led by ten Insect Lords at the Transcendental Being level, managed to breach their realm.

The Insect Race, originally a top race, served the Zerg Race, a race on par with Demons and Gods, but residing in their plane known as the Zerg Plane.

The Insect Race preyed on beings with life force, and their incursion into the Spirit Realm posed a significant threat.
