Chapter 447
by fanqienovelChapter 447: The Lovely Fighting God
“I don’t know, but there should be!”
Su Wen shook his head and said, “After all, we haven’t truly met the Fighting God’s legion at the defense battlefield yet.”
The Battle Master waved his hand and said, “Since you know about the Fighting God’s legion, it’s likely they exist!”
After saying this, the hexagonal crystal in his hand floated in the air.
Then, the crystal began to change.
In a moment, an ordinary red flag appeared in front of Su Wen.
“This military flag is unique to me!”
“To the elders of the First Age, seeing this flag is like seeing me!”
“On this flag, I’ve also inscribed my refinement method!”
“Originally, I didn’t plan to inscribe this refinement method on it, nor did I need to.”
“My philosophy has always been to not set up arrangements or leave any backup!”
“Backups are only for the weak.”
“A true powerful being crushes everything and is invincible!”
“When the enemies are all dead and we’ve won, who needs a backup?”
At this point, the Battle Master sighed and continued, “But back then, Xing Zai told me to leave a memento, just in case something unexpected happens.”
“If something really happens and I leave nothing behind, wouldn’t that be unbearable later?”
“Although he also thought there was no need for caution, his nature is to always leave a backup.”
“It’s like the mask he often wears—always guarding against this and that. As his comrade, I choose to respect his nature.”
“After all, we’re reasonable people, right?”
Su Wen nodded quickly; indeed.
The Fighting God on duty from the First Age was certainly more clever than those from their age.
“My piece of consciousness has limited power.”
“So, this military flag will probably only last about an hour.”
“Hmm… But it’s okay; you can travel through Time and Space!”
“Every time you finish reminiscing with me in a different time and space, have the version of me from that time and space help extend the duration.”
“Once you’ve mastered the refinement method for the military flag, you’ll be able to use it yourself without needing me to recharge it for you.”
“…”
The Battle Master looked at the red flag and explained.
Then, he began to elaborate on the flag’s features, attributes, symbols, and the billions of small details contained within it.
To be honest, without the creator’s explanation, even if someone later mastered the refinement method, it would probably be very difficult to succeed.
“So, is this leaving a pointless backup?”
As Su Wen listened to the Battle Master explain the small details, he couldn’t help but grumble to himself.
With all these details, if you don’t point them out, who would even notice they’re small details?
If you hide millions of them, the Star God might figure them out eventually.
But with so many, wouldn’t the Star God get a headache from all the calculations?
Hmm… If this were the Second Age, and the Star God was on duty, then yeah, it might take a lot of effort to figure it all out.
But in the Ninth Age? If the Battle Master didn’t teach me, forget about it!
From the end of the First Age to now, seven ages have passed—who knows how many of the old-timers from the First Age are still around?
Sure, the elders of the Fighting God’s legion from the First Age, as long as they’re still alive, are definitely top-tier powerful beings.
But with such high quality, I shouldn’t expect much in terms of quantity.
If there are even a few dozen left, that’s something to be happy about.
And about the backup from the First Age—since the Star God of the First Age warned us to leave a backup, and the Battle Master said to respect a comrade’s nature,
why is there only one backup?
And such a flimsy one at that?
Couldn’t they have left a couple more?
Sigh!
Typical!
When it comes to backups, it’s all on the Star God!
The Star Gods of every age are like this!
As for the Fighting God, let’s just treat it as a little bonus.
If there’s one, great; if not, well, that’s just how it goes.
Honestly, it’s already surprising enough that the Fighting God on duty from the First Age was so sharp.
……
Time flew by, and a month later, Su Wen finally got the hang of the refinement method for the military flag.
“A month’s not bad,” the Battle Master said with an awkward chuckle. “Cut me some slack—the Remnant Clan was really good at making fake military flags back in the day.”
“Back then, their forgery techniques actually messed with our military system a bit.”
“So, Xing Zai and I spent a lot of time studying this military flag.”
After tucking the red military flag into the treasure bowl, Su Wen asked, “So the small details on the flag—did they come from the Star God of the First Age?”
The Battle Master scratched his nose and said sheepishly, “Well, I wouldn’t say it like that—I helped out too.”
“So… mostly the Star God of the First Age, then?”
“Alright, fine, you could say that. I mean, I only chipped in with some power for comparison and calculations when Xing Zai needed it.”
“…”
Hearing this, Su Wen couldn’t help but glance at the Fighting God.
Then, he asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time.
“Senior, how many comrades were still by your side during the final battle?”
The Battle Master was taken aback, then his gaze flickered, as if phantoms of life and death, the Path of All Paths, and the end of all things passed through his eyes.
At that moment, he seemed to dream back to memories of the First Age.
He recalled the time when his comrades were still around, and they could tease each other during their leisure.
“In the final battle, only I was left.”
The Battle Master said solemnly, “Everyone else fell during their growth or due to the Remnant’s schemes and their understanding of human hearts!”
“Especially Xing Zai, that shameless Leader of the Remnant used his strength to overpower him and killed him.”
“That’s also the main reason I will pin the Leader of the Remnant on the walls of the Remnant Universe, marking this shame forever on their honor list!”
“Even after the war, when I led my army into the Remnant Universe, I too shamelessly used my might to crush the weak!”
“I eradicated the entire younger generation of the Remnants!”
“I completely cut off the Remnants’ future for a million years!”
“Blood for blood!”
“An eye for an eye!”
“The idea of repaying evil with kindness, or using benevolence to convert others, simply does not exist with me!”
“If it’s not possible, then kill!”
“Kill until their clan is destroyed and their species eradicated, kill until the universe falls silent!”
“Generations of hatred lasting for billions of years?”
“There’s no one left, no descendants existing, so where does the hatred come from?”
As Su Wen listened to the Battle Master’s words, he fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the price of the Fighting God’s growth was this inheritance of suffering?
The reason the Battle Master is so wise, the reason he has the means to plan for the world, is because… all of his comrades have died?
Left alone, the solitary Fighting God is indeed someone to be trusted.
If I were a soldier under the Fighting God, I would look forward to my leader’s transformation and elevation.
But as a comrade fighting alongside the Fighting God, perhaps it would be better not to!
Actually, thinking about it, the Fighting God can be quite amusing in his clumsiness.
When there’s nothing to do, he can be a source of laughter to lighten the mood.
That’s not bad!
“What are you thinking about?”
The Battle Master raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked, “Is there… something about the Fighting God in the Ninth Age that you all cannot control?”
