33: Chapter 33 Death Knell, Kane's Revenge

In the conference room of the Lanshan Academy branch of Blue Cave Technology, only Chen Mo and Zhao Changdong remained.

As for the 'North Region Branch leaders' who had accompanied Zhao Changdong, these people were only there to get some face time with him. Without needing Zhao Changdong to dismiss them, they took the initiative to leave under the pretext of inspecting the Lanshan Academy branch.

"This is the contract, take a look." Just after sitting down, Zhao Changdong pushed a piece of paper emitting a faint golden light toward Chen Mo.

"A True Word Contract!" Chen Mo thought to himself before taking the paper into his hands.

As for what a True Word Contract was, it was a Law contract drafted by powerhouses who specialized in the 'Order' and 'Judgment' Laws.

Unlike ordinary contracts that could only rely on federal Law for enforcement, once this thing took effect, whether it was Chen Mo or Zhao Changdong, who signed on behalf of the consortium, both would be branded with the 'True Word Art', a powerful Tier 6 Divine Art.

And once one party violated the contents of the contract, even Zhao Changdong, as a Main God, would pay a huge price. As for Chen Mo, who was merely a Demigod, it would be almost indistinguishable from suicide.

'Those who breach the contract shall have their divinity extinguished, their Divine Soul scattered, and their divine body decayed!' Looking at the final line of the True Word Contract, Chen Mo couldn't help but shudder.

"If there are no problems, just imprint your divine mark on it. Mine has already been imprinted." Zhao Changdong pointed to the faint golden pattern at the bottom of the contract, which was difficult to see with the naked eye but could be sensed with Divine Sense. That was Zhao Changdong's divine mark, the divine mark of a Main God.

"The contract is fine; it's consistent with the version in the Virtual Universe." Chen Mo nodded, raised his right hand, and a wisp of golden light immediately surged onto his fingertip, branding the True Word Contract in an instant.

"Good!" Zhao Changdong nodded in satisfaction, took the contract into his hands, and with a gentle tug, tore it into two.

"Keep it safe. Although Blue Cave never breaches contracts, this thing is also a guarantee for you." Chen Mo took the half of the True Word Contract and nodded solemnly: "Thank you!"

"Don't thank me, thank the company if you want to." Zhao Changdong smiled, his expression becoming increasingly amiable: "Welcome, Chen Mo. From today on, you are a reserve member of our Blue Cave."

Although the cost of signing Chen Mo this time far exceeded their estimates, given the potential he had displayed, he could have completely developed within any of the top factions. That he chose Blue Cave was the company's fortune, and even more so, his own. As long as Chen Mo could grow, this would be a solid career achievement!

"According to the terms of the contract, every time you achieve a Breakthrough in your Realm, the corresponding resources will be sent to you. My coming here in person was not only to sign the contract with you but also to deliver the resources corresponding to your First-Turn Demigod status."

As he spoke, Zhao Changdong took out a storage bracelet and gently pushed it toward Chen Mo.

"The resources are divided into five categories. Aside from non-material resources like Virtual Universe points and credit points, which will be deposited into your account shortly, the divine power cards and rare resources are all in this bracelet. As for the divine relics you applied for..." Zhao Changdong's expression suddenly became a bit strange.

"I admit that the divine relicss the headquarters opened up for you are not the top-tier ones, but this one..." As he spoke, a very peculiar revolver suddenly appeared in Zhao Changdong's hand. The pistol was blue and white, engraved with dense blood-colored patterns that flashed with red light from time to time, with a rhythm like breathing.

"Death Knell! That is its name. You should have already seen its specific usage conditions and effects. To be honest, I don't understand why you chose it."

"Perhaps it's just a gut feeling!" Chen Mo smiled and reached out to take this 'famous' divine relics from Zhao Changdong's hand.

Yes, Chen Mo recognized this thing. He still clearly remembered how that guy, who had run thousands of ring quests to finally exchange for this divine relics from Blue Cave, had complained tearfully about how 'useless' it was. However, as the secrets behind this divine relics were unraveled, all the doubts and disdain ceased to exist.

"Death Knell!", also known as 'kanes revenge'. Before its specific usage conditions are met, this is the most useless divine relics, bar none.

As for why it is said so, it's very simple: the effect of Death Knell is to generate six bullets every day. The power of these bullets themselves is equivalent to a full-force strike from a normal Nine-Turn Demigod. Very strong, right? But you have to understand, this is a divine relics!

The conditions for the formation of a divine relics are extremely harsh; it is the final legacy left to the present world before a plane collapses, and it must be at least a medium-sized plane to potentially form one. Treasures of this level are useful even to powerhouses at the Main God level.

Look at Death Knell again; a full-force strike from a Nine-Turn Demigod, isn't that just a complete joke? Some restricted-level technological weapons in the Main World have more power than that.

Of course, as a divine relics, Death Knell has another special effect: every time it generates bullets, there is a one-in-a-million chance that a 'special bullet' will appear. This type of bullet can have a Divine Art pre-recorded onto it, and it increases the rank of that Divine Art by one level, up to a maximum of Tier 6.

In other words, if Chen Mo recorded the Blood Kill Art into it, a Tier 2 Blood Kill Art could unleash Tier 3 power. But the problem is that this probability is so low it's hair-raising. Six bullets a day, one in a million. On average, it takes nearly 500 years to produce one special bullet; even with the long Lifespan of a deity, one couldn't withstand such a Heaven-Defying probability, right?

"Fine then." Zhao Changdong couldn't be bothered to persuade him anymore; he sighed and handed the divine relics, which had been gathering dust in Blue Cave for tens of thousands of years, to Chen Mo.

"The magazine in the gun is full, and they are all special bullets. But to speak bluntly, this is the result of the company sending specialists to spend nearly ten thousand years to achieve. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider? If you change your mind now, I can still help you apply to exchange it for another one." Zhao Changdong ultimately couldn't help himself and decided to try persuading him one more time.

"No need, I think it's very good." Chen Mo decisively rejected Zhao Changdong's good intentions and held the 'Death Knell' in his hands as if it were a precious treasure. The blood-colored light patterns on it shone brighter at this moment, seemingly wanting to express something, but no one could understand it.

"Rest assured, others may not understand you, but I do. What you want, I will give you." Silently muttering this to himself, Chen Mo moved his Divine Soul slightly, and 'Death Knell' disappeared.

One of the characteristics of a divine relics is that it can be directly stored in the Sea of Consciousness and can be manifested with just a thought, which is very similar to a life-bound Divine Artifact nurtured by one's own divinity.

After doing all this, Chen Mo then turned his gaze toward that storage bracelet. Compared to the divine relics added in the contract, the things inside this bracelet were actually more helpful to him right now.

According to the terms of the contract, from First-Turn Demigod to Ninth-Turn True God, for every Realm, he would receive a substantial supply of resources, which would increase gradually with his Realm. Currently, he was only a First-Turn Demigod, but even so, this amount of resources was a figure that would make even Demigods or even True Gods tremble.
