106: Chapter 16: Commander of the Third Legion!

As the Dream God's pleasant voice faded, the surrounding starry sky gradually blurred.

By the time Lu Yin reacted, he had already returned to his dormitory.

Only in his palm did two radiant pieces of jewelry emit a faint glow.

Lu Yin suppressed his excitement and checked the attributes of the two accessories.

The moment Lu Yin equipped the dream god earring, dream god ring, and Dream God Necklace simultaneously—

The three God Artifacts seemed to produce a strange resonance, flowing with a warm luster that covered his entire body like quicksilver spreading across the ground.

An indescribable, majestic power surged from the three accessories, washing through his limbs and bones.

The intuitive sensation of all attributes skyrocketing by ten thousand points was as if his body had broken free from invisible shackles.

Every cell was leaping with joy, and his perception of the surrounding world became clearer than ever before.

“Three God Artifacts... if I enhance them to the maximum level, I really don't know how strong I'll become.”

Lu Yin lay on his bed, thinking with immense anticipation.

At the same time, in an unknown space.

Ailithos leaned lazily on a divine throne woven from starlight, between her slender fingers.

A seemingly ordinary die was nimbly jumping and flipping, flashing with an ominous yet charming glimmer.

“It seems I've won, Mebius.”

Ailithos's voice carried a pleasant trill, like the surprise of discovering a treasure.

Mebius's dreamlike radiance fluctuated around her, feeling somewhat helpless yet also intrigued.

“Indeed... it was beyond my expectations.”

“He not only dared to gamble, but fate... seems to truly be on his side.”

“Tell me, since he dared to gamble on such small odds and actually won, could this human be the illegitimate son of the Goddess of Fate?”

Mebius said very gossipingly.

“Little Mebius, don't talk nonsense. Fate is a Supreme Deity; be careful she doesn't settle the score with you if she finds out.”

Hearing Ailithos's words, Mebius shrank her neck.

“Alright, I'm going back.”

Ailithos chuckled, firmly grasping the jumping die in her palm.

“Accept the loss. Next time that interesting human enters the Gods Arena, I will be his opponent. You can't go back on your word.”

“Naturally, I won't.”

Mebius nodded slightly.

“I'm also looking forward to what kind of interesting sparks will fly when you, the ‘God of Gambling’, personally take the field against him.”

...

Time passed, and early the next morning, Lu Yin headed straight for the God Challenge.

Entering the challenge space, Lu Yin summoned his third Legion Commander.

“Come forth, for your sovereign.”

As a massive black magic circle was etched onto the ground, a tall, thin figure slowly walked out accompanied by terrifying energy fluctuations.

“I am willing to serve my Lord.”

The figure knelt on one knee, draped in a wide cloak that seemed woven from shadows; under the hood, only two points of ghostly blue soul fire could be seen burning quietly.

His figure appeared thin, yet it gave off a dangerous feeling of containing endless death energy.

In his hand, he tightly gripped a black longbow made of an unknown black material, with a quiver full of arrows at his waist.

Needless to say, this was a long-range type Legion Commander.

Opening this Legion Commander's attribute panel, Lu Yin showed a satisfied expression.

【Dead Soul Archer · Krausi】

【Strength: 3500, Constitution: 32000】

【Agility: 4500, Spirit: 34000】

【God Artifacts: Gloomy Whisper · Kra-Melophy (Sealed), Abysswalker's Cloak (Sealed)】

Clearing the Dungeon, Lu Yin once again obtained a God Voucher and a key of the gods.

When the third key of the gods fell into Lu Yin's hand, it was drawn together with the two previously obtained partial keys, automatically flying out of the inventory and hovering before Lu Yin.

The three keys had different shapes: one like a crescent hook, one like a starlight prism, and one like a labyrinthine thread.

They circled each other, flowing with gold, silver, and purple radiance.

As the lights intertwined, they gradually merged.

After a burst of heart-palpitating energy fluctuations, a blinding light erupted and then instantly retracted.

When the light dissipated, a complete key floated quietly in the air.

Its entire body presented a dreamlike purple color, made of a material that was neither metal nor wood.

The handle of the key was carved with complex patterns of stars and clouds, while the tip of the key emitted subtle spatial ripples.

【key of the gods (Complete)】

【Type: Special Item】

【Description: A complete key fused from three partial keys, containing the special power to open the Gods Secret Realm.】

As Lu Yin held the key in his hand, a system prompt immediately appeared.

【Ding! Obtained special item: key of the gods!】

【Do you wish to open the Gods Secret Realm?】

Lu Yin only hesitated slightly before choosing to confirm.

With his choice, a portal woven from starlight was sketched out of thin air.

Lu Yin stepped forward to check the portal's information.

【Gods Secret Realm】

【Level Restriction: None】

【Note: Opportunity and danger coexist; only those favored by fate can obtain gifts from within.】

The starlight portal slowly rotated, its interior deep and unpredictable, as if connecting to the other side of the universe.

Lu Yin could feel the ancient and vast aura emanating from it; he took a deep breath and finally stepped forward slowly.
