Chapter 696: Pleasant Surprise

“If it was at all possible, I really wouldn’t want to hear that legendary name…”

The #1 ranked individual on the Calamity Rankings, the person who must not be named… hadn’t returned!

That’s right, he hadn’t returned. That man hadn’t returned… Oh, I was repeating myself because I was far too happy.

I had just received a package from the Chaos Abyss. Inside the package was a shiny red gem as large as my hand. It was quite blinding to behold. But if you used magical vision to look at it instead, it would be quite capable of literally blinding you.

[Divine Authority of the Sun God (ruby). Item level: God Equipment.]

[This ruby was once part of the ancient Sun God’s crown, whose name has been forgotten to time. This ruby contains the Sun God civilization’s understanding and worship of light.]

[Its value is uncalculatable. PS: he really accomplished it, and during the process, he actually… Just kill him as quickly as possible for me.]

I really didn’t want to know what the System had skipped for my sake. However, I could faintly guess, because also inside the package was a picture taken by goblin photographers. A certain Dracon was standing together with a birdman, with both wearing wedding veils. I felt it was wonderful that I hadn’t been invited to attend their wedding.

“He really managed to succeed at conquering the ancient Sun God…”

In a way, I truly was rendered speechless when it came to that person. As for whether the birdman Sun God was male or female, and how he or she was conquered… I really didn’t want to know, so I wouldn’t even ask! Let us discuss instead about that person’s message.

“Interacting with the mesmerizing Aloyo has helped me to understand the beauty of the outside world, along with just how alluring the endless universe and its infininte species are. Milord Roland, I now finally understand what you meant by always saying ‘My goal is the universe!’ From today onwards, I, Beifeng Herault, shall also set my goal on the entire universe!”

So, this meant that he wasn’t returning?

The universe? He intended on going to other dimensions? For someone of his power level, that wouldn’t be that difficult, so why did he specially mention it? Wait a moment, if he wasn’t returning, how was I supposed to complete the Quest that my System issued to me to turn Beifeng into a female? My System truly would punish me by splashing the Spring of a Drowned Woman on me instead!

[Relax. I’ll just treat it as if you completed my Quest. I’m highly satisfied with this result.]

My System who had just been so angry just now was evidently quite happy. I was quite mystified by this, but Creator Goddess of Order Astrya was in such a good mood that she even gave me an explanation.

[Beifeng has already left this entire dimensional system. He’s now trouble for other universes to deal with.]

What? Beifeng had left this dimensional system already? He directly managed to leave this universe and went to another universe? Just how did he accomplish this? Such a thing was possible?

I paused in surprise, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. But then, I felt some mysterious joy.

“…Perhaps we should hold a celebration party in order to celebrate that this universe is finally safe.”

[Agreed.]

“Agreed!”

Even the silly cat was happily nodding her head. It seemed that Beifeng truly was such a frightful existence.

“Well, let him be as frightful as he want, as we’ll never see him again…”

But unfortunately, it seemed that I had spoken to soon, as the hard-working package delivery fairies brought me a second package from Beifeng. I originally thought that it would be some more high-quality resources for me, yet inside was another letter as well as a map.

The letter was from Aloyo. The other God Equipment that I wanted which had the property of gathering light was the “Magic Ritual Mirror of the Venerated”, which had long been lost to history. However, Aloyo’s divine power was able to act as a locator spell for this mirror, which was still in the mortal plane. Thus, he had drawn a map for me.

“Ha, what a nice person. Eh? There’s something written on the back of this map…”

“This is Beifeng. That birdman kidnapped me and forced me to write that previous letter! He said that he wants to take me to see the various universes. Although I feel that it’s nice to visit and see what it’s like in other universes, he doesn’t intend on returning! That’s why I secretly left a dimensional portal with coordinates in the 212th level of the Chaos Abyss… I will definitely return!”

“Oops, my hand slipped.”

I directly spilled a bottle of black ink on the back of the map, obscuring Beifeng’s message. At the same time, a black cat paw spread around the ink and obscured the message even more. And then we nodded at each other and started preparing for tonight’s celebration party… and actually, since Beifeng was no longer even in this universe, we may as well do something outrageous and go take the reward money on his head!

“Are you certain that you can take that money so easily? Be careful that your reputation may be ruined if he returns.”

“…Indeed, this seems as if the hero secretly went for a walk in the park to waste some time, then upon his return he declared that he killed the demon king. And then, two days later, the demon king pops up and does evil as he always does. At that time, I’ll really be so embarrassed!”

“Your analogy… it really is such a subtle one.”

The silly cat’s expression was also rather subtle. But no matter what, we were still going to celebrate that Beifeng was currently not in this universe.

“You intend to go look for that mirror?”

“It’ll be much better than trying to rob the Holy Church.”

“So, which ability of yours do you intend on using to break through to Level 4? Holy Light, or ice?”

“…I’ll just take things one step at a time. The order isn’t really that important.”

“No, it’s extremely important.”

I was somewhat confused at how stubborn the silly cat was about this, but the next instant, I noticed how she was reading my book, “Words from Estrada” which I was still in the process of writing. I instantly understood. So what she cared about was which teacher had been the most influential to me!

“…I think that we can stay in the Northlands for a little while longer and hunt some more fire element creatures. Let’s try to get my breakthrough before we leave. That will also make things much safer in the future.”

“Yeah!”

The silly cat’s unhesitating agreement made me feel a mysterious lack of confidence. Although I had greatly improved my knowledge of ice, I had to repeatedly modify my design for my ice magic sword. I truly didn’t have a guarantee that I would be able to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

“…It seems that I’m going to have to spend all-nighters working hard again.”

In a way, the fact that Beifeng wouldn’t be returning anytime soon had given me an unexpected present. The bottle of the Spring of the Drowned Woman potion now belonged to me. So at this time, it was an excellent opportunity to prank… I meant, uphold good and eliminate evil!

Of course, another important reason was that I felt like I needed to use such a potion as quickly as possible, as I would definitely be the unfortunate one in the end if I didn’t use it quickly!

I wrote down a list of people who had antagonized me, but I hadn’t taken revenge on them yet because it was difficult to do so…

But when I looked at the list, the results were rather saddening… I really wanted the most to have some revenge against Reyne, Harloys, and the System, but none of the three would fear the Spring of the Drowned Woman at all, as it was only for transforming men into women. If I instead used the Spring of the Drowned Man potion on Reyne, I would probably have a lot of fun, but it was likely that Krose would cry herself to death.

“Actually, you can try and take revenge against all of society. Have you forgotten about certain individuals who are so blinding to behold…”

A mysterious alluring voice spoke in my ears. I suddenly recalled the image of the naked Xueti and Eaglestorm. If I transformed one of them into a female… that was such a wondrous scene to behold that I really wanted to vomit!”

“Indeed, I think I can consider it.”

I sunk into contemplation as I looked at the blue and red potions before me. What would be more interesting? A female Tauren running around naked at high speed, or a beastskin wearing naked female druid…? Didn’t all druids wear beastkins, though? It wasn’t like there weren’t any female druids. There were also plenty of female druids who were ugly. If Eaglestorm transformed into a pretty female druid, wouldn’t I be doing a good service for everyone?

“Cough, tell Xueti to come here together with Krose. I have something to discuss with them. Yep, tell them that it’s a pleasant surprise!”

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!????????????????
