Chapter 1909: Struggle For The Blade.



The Mortal Blade will become even more useful in the hands of a hero. After all, heroes can't die permanently, and they are mortals, so they can use the weapon. A hero would be able to use it again and again against gods.

Black Knife heard him murmur and said, "It doesn't matter if it is them or not. What matters is that we must get this weapon at all costs. Not only for 9 Crowns but for ourselves too."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"You know about them?" Taylor asked in surprise.

"I do. They approached many heroes. I didn't think they had a chance. Apparently I was wrong. I feel so much regret now. If only I had believed them and stolen the weapon."

Taylor chuckled. "That's what I thought."

Black Knife truly felt remorse. But he encouraged himself. "It is alright. I can still find it. The description is clear. It is a white bone sword that devours both the blood of its wielder and those slain by it. It will turn red when it is fully recharged and will create a blood rainbow when it is discharged. So it should not be hard to miss."

They were not the only heroes in pursuit of the Mortal Blade. Many heroes were being sent to find the blade. Even gods without heroes sent some of their believers to find it.

Not all of the gods want to acquire the mortal blade, though. Some of them just want to destroy it and make sure it won't get into the hands of other gods. These gods deemed it too dangerous to allow it to exist.

Legion watched this with satisfaction. They told their heroes to acquire the Mortal Blade, but this chaos and destruction was all they wanted to see.

Ever since the mortals began fighting over the control of the god-slaying weapon, no god has been killed, temporarily or permanently. In fact, no attempts have been made on a god's life. The Mortal Blade has become a tool that causes the death of mortals instead.

While having a hero in control of the Mortal Blade is good, having no one in control of it is better for Legion. In fact, they don't want the Mortal Blade because it is more trouble than it is worth.

Not only will possessing it garner the hatred of gods and mortals alike, but the deaths it will cause to gods at the hands of heroes will only be temporary. That is something they are already more than capable of achieving.

It is just not worth it at all to have their territory in the mortal realm attacked on all sides for a weapon that causes the temporary deaths of gods.

If not for the fact that they have God's Fall and can cause the true body of a god to descend and use the Mortal Blade to kill them permanently, the Mortal Blade wouldn't be much of a threat to the gods, and Legion wouldn't have bothered to make their heroes help stir the chaos surrounding it.

Even then, as long as they kill every mortal in a family and don't leave behind a seed of vengeance, no one will be able to use the Mortal Blade to kill them through their avatar.

That is the precaution that most gods are taking now. While the Mortal Blade is still changing hands, the gods have learned to make sure to wipe out the loved ones of any mortal that they kill.

In the meantime, they are content with stirring up trouble rather than trying to claim the Mortal Blade for themselves. With the way that things are going, Legion feels relaxed enough to focus on other things.
