“Information Detection.”

 

A faint light, like ripples, flowed over the entire ring, and soon, its information was all displayed before Violet’s eyes under her highest-level investigative skill.

 

【Ring of the Demon God’s Protection】

 

【Grade: Semi-Divine Artifact】

【Description: A prototype equipment crafted by the Demon God ??????, possessing three functions of storage, information concealment, and defensive deployment. Originally planned to be made as a Divine Artifact, it ended up as a failed semi-finished product due to insufficient mastery of the technology.

Upon realizing that the quality did not meet the standards, the Demon God ?????? chose not to keep it. Instead, he gave this ring, along with other materials loaded inside, as a bonus gift during a tea party to the Thundering God ????.

Later, Thundering God ???? bestowed this ring upon the newly born dragon Clara under its protection, and it accompanied the dragon as it grew.

During the Divine Catastrophe, both Thundering God ???? and its protected dragon fell, and Clara, bereft of divine protection, was killed by the Blasphemer in a battle.

A thousand years later, a group of adventurers from the Human United Kingdom discovered the damaged ring in the ruins where the Thunderous Dragon Clara had once fought the Blasphemer. In a certain underground auction, it was purchased at a high price by the second prince, Ben Melchior.

Ben Melchior, guided by others, realized the extraordinary origin of this item and paid a great price to have it repaired and put it to use.

Later, the Ring of the Demon God’s Protection was stolen by the ratfolk Prakaka and, after various twists and turns, ended up in the hands of someone else.】

“Oh, I see… the Demon God…”

 

The priestess, having a sudden realization, took out another black gem from her backpack and compared the two.

 

No wonder this thing gave her a familiar feeling. Indeed, from the fluctuations, the powers contained in both items were very similar.

 

In other words, this 【Ring of the Demon God’s Protection】 also originated from the equipment of that Demon God, Olivia.

 

Although perhaps due to the opponent’s high realm, the records stored on the equipment, whether for the Demon God Olivia or another being called the Thundering God, did not reveal their real names. However, it was highly likely that ?????? here represented those six characters.

 

Moreover, compared to the 【Demon God Gem (Fragment)】 obtained by chance from the Ciel Town, which was too damaged and resulted in incomplete information, the “Ring of the Demon God’s Protection” explicitly mentioned the term “Divine Catastrophe.”

 

This seemed to perfectly coincide with the great battle that, according to the old dragon turtle in the Black River and the Guardian Nasserian, took place a thousand years ago, where a Demon Dragon and a Demon God disappeared without a trace after a certain day.

 

So, it seemed that something did happen a thousand years ago, leading to the demise of most of the gods in battle.

 

However, in this world, it’s not entirely devoid of traces of divine beings.

 

For example, the most classic ones are Aurora, the Goddess of Light of the Holy Empire, Minerva, the God of Sky and Freedom worshiped by the Winged People in the Azure Sky Kingdom. It then mentions a third group of gods, which are local gods of unknown origins. These gods may be just rumors, but they do have names.

 

Perhaps these gods were the survivors of that unknown catastrophe a thousand years ago, having knowledge of the related circumstances.

 

Uh… but how can one see them? According to some doctrines, the true forms of the deities don’t seem to exist in this world, right?

 

After simplifying her thoughts, Violet decided to temporarily set aside the so-called “Divine Catastrophe”. After all, it happened a thousand years ago and didn’t seem to have much relevance to the current priestess. She could slowly collect information when there’s an opportunity.

 

Right now, she is dealing with another important matter.

 

Watching her master repeatedly collide the ring and black gem in her hands, making constant tinkling sounds, the dragon lady tilted her head in confusion.

 

“Master, what are you doing?”

 

“Hmm? This is magic. According to the routine, when two pieces of equipment from the same god come into contact, they should emit some strange light and reveal some hidden secrets. Why isn’t there any reaction? Could it be that my posture is wrong?”

 

In disbelief, Violet changed her perspective and touched it a few times, but all she got was a crisp sound.

 

“………..?”

 

The little dragon girl had noticed long ago that her master, who usually seemed quite smart and reliable, was straightforward in some strange ways, giving off a kind of silly feeling.

 

Things like “hidden missions,” “treasure chest collection,” and “assembling equipment fragments,” especially the so-called “European mysticism,” were constantly on her lips, and she would mutter a few words about them whenever she had the chance.

 

It really left the dragon puzzled.

 

Fortunately, after several unsuccessful attempts, Violet seemed to have finally given up on triggering the so-called “hidden missions.” She threw the uncooperative black gem back into the void with an unhappy face and continued to study the purple ring.

 

“It is indeed bound to that guy Ben. High-level equipment is really different, but it’s not a big problem.”

 

If it were an ordinary player in Illusory World, even if they reached level 100, they might have no choice but to accept the binding of equipment. They could only choose to forcibly dismantle it at the risk of destroying it. However, Violet had a special trick.

 

After waving her hand and casting a powerful barrier that covered the entire room, the priestess extended her hand flat, palm facing up. Like the creation of the world, a mysterious wave slowly unfolded, starting from a tender bud, growing out of thin air into a lush and dripping miniature ancient tree.

 

Artifact, the 【Simulated Kabbalah Tree of Life】.

 

The most significant feature of this equipment, which was specially bound to Violet, was its ability to simulate and change into any non-living object that Violet had come into contact with, as long as it did not reach the level of an artifact, reproducing its effects one hundred percent.

 

As an artifact, the most outrageous aspect is that even consumable items can be simulated by the 【Simulated Kabbalah Tree of Life】, and it won’t lead to the tree itself being consumed.

 

Although there is a cooldown for the transformation ability, in a sense, this is an infinitely usable all-purpose consumable.

 

“Master, are you going to use that again?”

 

Blinking, Xiao Guang looked at the mysterious ancient tree in the hands of the black-haired girl with curiosity but without any discomfort. Unlike a certain princess, she wasn’t so weak that she couldn’t withstand the outward fluctuations of artifacts.

 

In fact, the dragon girl had seen her master use this tree to transform various strange things many times before.

 

“Yes, using that is the simplest… Transform for me!”

 

With a command, the ancient tree in Violet’s hand immediately radiated infinite colored light. When it reappeared, it had transformed into something completely different from before, just as the priestess had intended.

 

It was a white leather glove crafted for a single hand, adorned with colorful gems, and with a circle of not-too-sharp spikes protruding at the wrist connection.

 

“Hehe, every time I use this thing, it feels a bit exciting.”

 

Violet smirked as she put on the gloves and placed her fingertips above the dark purple-patterned ring.

 

Finally, this piece of equipment showed a reaction.

 

Shua Shua Shua Shua～

 

A dazzling light flashed, and several peculiar items suddenly appeared on the bed. These were the personal items stored in the 【Ring of the Demon God’s Protection】 by Ben, bypassing the binding and directly stolen by the priestess.

 

Being able to achieve such feats is naturally thanks to the white gloves.

 

A Semi-Divine Artifact— the “Masterful Grasp of Emptiness.”

 

This was not an equipment Violet herself possessed but something she encountered in the virtual world, Illusory World, from a high-level NPC known as the “Godly Thief” during a certain quest.

 

The effect of this Semi-Divine Artifact was that as long as it came into contact with equipment below the level of other artifacts, it could ignore binding effects and forcibly use all of its inherent abilities.

 

The NPC “Godly Thief” also had another Semi-Divine Artifact glove called the “Daylight Robbery Grasp,” which could immediately steal any equipment below the level of an artifact from a target within sight. It was somewhat similar to the displacement ring used by Prakaka, but clearly much more powerful.

 

With these two gloves working together, it was almost a case of stealing anything they laid eyes on. At that time, Violet was quite envious… cough, irritated!

 

Although the “Simulated Kabbalah Tree of Life” could transform into anything, it could only simulate one piece of equipment at a time, and it was doomed not to pull off this thieving combo.

 

Unfortunately… it was really a pity…
