Global Grave Digging: My Reward Increased Ten Thousand Times

161: Let me, Lin Fei, take charge of the Star Core Divine Weapon?But in that War of Fallen Heavens, the Divine Weapons were all damaged, so who would use them?

After Yaoguang City’s proposal was made, the high-ranking officials from all sides immediately fell silent.

The War of Fallen Heavens was incredibly brutal. While humanity successfully severely wounded the Insectoid Matriarch, the cost was that almost all twelve Star Core Divine Weapons were damaged, their energy depleted, or even completely destroyed during the fierce battle.

What the Seven Great Cities now possess are mostly the remnants of Divine Weapons or partial core technologies, their power long diminished.

Just like Yaoguang City’s incredibly powerful but only capable of ultra-long-range single-shot sniping ’Eye of Heavenly Punishment,’ it was the last remnant of a complete defensive Divine Weapon, the ’Sky Barrier.’

Let them use these defective products to counter a Dawn Morningstar that Lu Zhifei had completely fused with and even exhibited terrifying devouring and evolving abilities?

The chances of winning were slim; it was more like delivering another grand gift.

No one wanted to be that foolish trailblazer again.

Amidst this stalemate, an unexpected solution-bringer approached Lin Fei.

Night fell.

Outside the temporary assault boat, the cold wind howled.

Lin Fei leaned against the porthole, intently watching the abandoned base in the distance, which resembled a lurking giant beast in the darkness.

Suddenly, his brow twitched, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

A ghost-like figure, dressed in black tight-fitting combat gear and wearing a tactical mask, silently appeared outside the assault boat and gave a special encrypted gesture unique to Yaoguang City, requesting a meeting.

”Interesting.”

Lin Fei gestured for the startled Lin Mengzi and the other guards to calm down, then walked out of the assault boat alone.

”Lord of Thunder,” the newcomer bowed, his voice processed and somewhat mechanical, ”I am here on the orders of the Yaoguang City Speaker to discuss an important matter.”

”Oh?” Lin Fei crossed his arms, looking at him with interest. ”Your esteemed Speaker, instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, sent someone to find me, a disobedient troublemaker. What can I do for you?”

There was a hint of teasing in his tone.

The newcomer, however, seemed to miss the sarcasm and went straight to the point: ”The Speaker deeply sympathizes with your situation and greatly admires your strength.

We all know that conventional forces can no longer contend with Lu Zhifei.

To win, we must use Divine Weapon against Divine Weapon!”

”And then what? Is your Yaoguang City willing to bring out your trump card for me to use?” Lin Fei raised an eyebrow.

”Precisely!” The newcomer’s answer surprised Lin Fei. ”During the War of Fallen Heavens, our Yaoguang City fortunately preserved a relatively complete Star Core Divine Weapon—the Judgment Blade.

It takes the form of a greatsword, possessing immense power, but due to a damaged energy core and extreme burden on the user’s body, it has been sealed deep underground.

However, if an ability user as powerful as you, capable of resonating with lightning, were to wield it, perhaps its true power could be unleashed!”

”Our Yaoguang City Speaker believes that you are truly the hero who can end this farce and bring victory to the Human Alliance!

We are willing to temporarily grant you the right to use the Judgment Blade! We only ask that you use it to apprehend the traitor Lu Zhifei and reclaim the Dawn Morningstar!”

This proposal was full of sincerity and temptation.

Lin Fei was overjoyed.

He had searched high and low for it, only to have it delivered to his doorstep!

His third sister had just unlocked a Divine Weapon, and now someone was eagerly bringing him another!

It was truly like someone sending a pillow when you wanted to sleep!

However, his face showed just the right amount of suspicion and wariness.

”Such a good deal? Your Yaoguang City trusts me that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the Divine Weapon and also defect like Lu Zhifei?”

”The Speaker believes in your character,” the newcomer bowed. ”You saved countless lives in Steel Bone City, and you rescued allies on the battlefield despite the danger. We have all witnessed these things.

Moreover, you have the ’World Guardian’ reputation bonus, which makes our favorability and trust in you far exceed others’.”
