Chapter 185: The Fourth Divine Artifact! The Spatial Divine Raiment!
...
"They were previously separated from the God Domain, but I didn't expect them to resurface now."
Mia Snow looked troubled.
"Oh? How so?" Seito asked curiously.
Seeing his interest, Mia Snow began to explain the history of the Snowman tribe. As Seito listened, he fell into deep thought.
It turned out that the reason the first twenty floors of the God Domain were so small was primarily because a large portion of their land had been severed. These severed territories, along with their respective races and cities, had become the regional servers for various countries back on Earth.
Once a specific country cleared the twentieth floor, their severed territories would reconnect with the main world. However, because the administrative authority was split, these factions were born into a state of natural hostility.
The King of the Snowmen intended to wipe out the Snow Maidens and consolidate all the authority of the 17th floor under his rule!
"Do you need my help?" Seito offered.
"Not yet. The Snowman tribe only looks formidable on the surface," the Queen shook her head.
Hearing this, Seito didn't press further and teleported away.
Inside the Snezhnaya Imperial Palace.
Seito had just returned when he saw that Maple, Sally, and Iz had already logged in.
"Perfect timing. Maple, come with me for a second."
As Seito spoke, he activated a skill to pull everyone into his Kamui Space. Once inside, Seito dumped his gathered materials into the forge. He then unequipped his Snow-White Trench Coat and tossed it in, followed by the golden materials he had just received from Cang Feiyun.
With everything set, he turned and gave a deep, respectful bow toward Maple.
"Great Goddess of Luck, please bless me!"
Maple: "..."
Not again! Maple pouted her small lips, silently protesting the "Goddess of Luck" title. Sally and Lisbeth giggled beside them.
"Seito-kun, are you about to craft your fourth Gold Grade item?" Sally asked.
"Exactly." Seito nodded, pulling out the blacksmith set he had purchased earlier.
"Lisbeth , this is your set."
He tossed it over to her.
"Eh?" lisbeth was stunned, catching it instinctively. As she inspected the items, her eyes widened.
"A Unique Blacksmith Set!"
Her eyes sparkled instantly as she swapped her gear. She didn't stand on ceremony with Seito; it was clear he had prepared this specifically for her. Once equipped, she broke into a silly, satisfied grin. Among all the Executives, she was the only one without a set until now, which had been quite frustrating.
Blacksmith sets were notoriously difficult to obtain. Although Eastern server's raid groups had cleared over a dozen bosses between floors 21 and 50, none of them were blacksmith-related. She had assumed she would eventually have to gather materials and forge a set for herself.
To receive a Unique Set so suddenly left her utterly satisfied. "Thank you, Seito-kun."
"Don't mention it." Seito waved it off. He wanted all his Executives to be equipped with Unique Sets; he wasn't about to leave Iisbeth out.
They waited in silence for a long while.
Whirr—
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the coat flew out from the forge. Unlike its previous plain appearance, the coat was now transformed. The snow-white fabric was peppered with countless starlight-like flecks. These spots formed intricate patterns across the garment, giving it an aura of immense nobility.
The coat drifted down, floating back into Seito's hands. He took the garment and immediately used his Divine Power to complete the advancement.
[Spatial Divine Raiment (Divine Artifact)]
[Effect: Increases Speed by 3000%, Spatial Damage by 2000%.]
[Divine Effect 1 (Spatial Set 4/5): Spatial Deprivation. When killing a target with this blade/power, use Spatial Power to absorb the target's Speed value. If the target possesses Divine Power, it will prioritize absorbing Divine Power first! (Minimum Speed: 100, Minimum Divine Power: 5).]
[Divine Effect 2 (Spatial Set 4/5): Absorbed Divine Power can be transferred to other players.]
[Advancement Condition: Unlocks when the holder reaches Level 100.]
[Buyback Price: ???]
Seeing the item's new stats, Seito didn't hesitate for a second and threw it on!
The stats were monstrous. Not only did it grant a massive speed boost and spatial damage buff, but the four-piece set bonus unlocked a game-changing ability: Divine Power Transfer.
Up until now, Sora, Shiro, and the others had very low Divine Power, making it impossible for them to upgrade their own artifacts. With this effect, Seito could funnel the Divine Power he stripped from enemies directly into his allies.
It was, in a word, incredible!
The moment Seito donned the raiment, the three girls beside him felt a shift in the air.
"I feel like... Seito-kun looks a bit like a God now," Sally noted, her voice uncertain.
"I feel it too," Maple and Iisbeth nodded in unison.
After the upgrade, the Spatial Divine Raiment emitted a faint, shimmering holy aura. Since the coat covered Seito almost entirely, he looked far more like a divine being than a player.
"Not bad at all~" Seito grinned.
As expected of a Divine Artifact. Wearing this felt infinitely more comfortable than any Orange Grade gear.
"Let's go, we're heading out."
Seito released everyone from the Kamui Space. Back in the game world, the four regained their footing.
Maple looked at Seito and asked, "What's the plan now, Seito-kun?"
"We're heading to the 40th floor to grind materials. I'm only one piece away from completing the full Spatial Set!" Seito answered.
He was so close he could taste it. He had to keep pushing! Today, he wasn't doing anything else—he was going to camp the 40th floor until he got what he needed.
Maple and the others nodded. "We'll go with you."
"Alright."
With that, the group teleported together toward the 40th floor.
