Chapter 936: Evil Sword of the Depths

The members of the Oath Society fell into dead silence as they stared at the sword in Lin Qiye's hand.

"Hehehehe... Mr. Lin must be joking." The man in the suit尴尬地笑笑了两声,"What we're discussing here is Ame-no-Murakumo, one of the three great divine treasures of Takamagahara. According to legend, this sword has always been in the hands of Susanoo, his most treasured possession...

Mr. Lin, where did you get this sword?"

"From Takamagahara. I snatched it from Susanoo."

"..." The西装男的嘴角微微抽搐,"Mr. Lin, let's not kid around..."

If this sword of yours is really Ame-no-Murakumo, wouldn't that mean you actually broke into Takamagahara and personally stole the most prized killing weapon from Susanoo's hands?

Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this?!

Lin Qiye helplessly raised the Ame-no-Murakumo in his hand and thrust it into the surface of the desk. The moment the blade touched the desk's edge, the heavy office table split cleanly in two from the center, the cut as smooth as a mirror—razor-sharp.

"I can't release it, or it'll slice through the building, the soil, and the ocean, falling straight to the deepest depths of the sea... You can just look at it like this."

Lin Qiye gripped the sword hilt and held it suspended in the air. A terrifying killing intent gushed forth from the blade, and everyone present changed color!

Several of them seemed to have realized something and leaned in closer to examine it. They saw the ancient characters engraved on the blade: "天丛云" (Ame-no-Murakumo)—three large characters—and shock appeared on every face!

"This, this..." A scholar adjusted his glasses and studied it for a moment. "This... is truly Ame-no-Murakumo!"

"What!"

"How can Ame-no-Murakumo be here?!"

"Mr. Lin, how did you get it out?!"

"..."

The Oath Society members in the conference room erupted into chaos. They huddled around Ame-no-Murakumo, eyes filled with shock and curiosity.

They couldn't understand how this young man who had only reached the "Immeasurable" realm managed to enter Takamagahara and steal this killing divine weapon.

Among everyone, only Jinian's expression was relatively calm.

She smiled as she watched her shocked subordinates, and felt a sense of pride in her heart.

Look!

This is what they call a destiny's chosen one!

For the Destiny's Chosen One who carried the Asylum of the Gods... oh right, the chosen one of fate—stealing a divine weapon was nothing. Even if he went to cut Susanoo down with a knife right now, I wouldn't be too surprised.

"If we have Ame-no-Murakumo's assistance, then everything would be different!" An excited scholar erased all three plans from the blackboard.

Lin Qiye shook his head. "It's not that simple. Although I have Ame-no-Murakumo, without divine power, I can't activate it at all. Even though this sword can cut through everything, without external force to activate it, it can't so easily slice through Yata Mirror."

"If we don't have divine power to activate it, we can give it sufficient external force through physics!" A positioning and blasting expert stood up, walked quickly to the blackboard, and began calculating rapidly with a pen.

"The essence of using divine power to activate Ame-no-Murakumo is to use divine power to give Ame-no-Murakumo sufficient kinetic energy to cut through the Yata Mirror. This level of kinetic energy can be transmitted to Ame-no-Murakumo through continuous precise positioned explosions.

Since Ame-no-Murakumo itself can cut through everything, neither earth nor seawater can create resistance against it.

We just need to calculate a vertical trajectory from the sea surface straight to the Yata Mirror's surface, then place pixel explosives at fixed points along this trajectory. By controlling each explosive's thrust to be垂直 downward, we can stack kinetic energy on Ame-no-Murakumo, eventually bringing it to the level needed to shatter the Yata Mirror!

Now we have the vertical distance from the sea surface to the mirror, resistance is zero, we know the gravitational acceleration, and we know the kinetic energy produced by each pixel bomb explosion... Substituting into the formula, we can calculate the final number of detonations needed..."

The blasting expert wrote the final stroke on the blackboard, jabbing the chalk hard at a number and drawing a circle around it, eyes sparkling as he spoke:

"Two hundred and seventy-one times! As long as we detonate the pixel explosives two hundred and seventy-one times consecutively in the vertical轨道 from the sea surface to the Yata Mirror! We can give Ame-no-Murakumo sufficient kinetic energy...

To shatter the Yata Mirror!"

Jinian nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping across everyone. "Does anyone else have additions?"

The other scholars calculated on paper for a moment and obtained the same answer as the blasting expert. They shook their heads.

"In that case, we proceed with this plan. Everyone pack up immediately and go to the sea to set up the blasting kinetic energy轨道. Within one day, the轨道 must be completed." Jinian gave the order decisively.

"This 'Human Enclosure' destruction operation... let's call it the [Evil Sword of the Depths]."

...

Ten minutes later.

Lin Qiye rubbed his tired eyes and walked out of the conference room.

The concept of the blasting kinetic energy轨道 was truly too insane, but fortunately this plan didn't require anything from him. He just needed to lend Ame-no-Murakumo to the Oath Society, then retrieve it after they destroyed the Yata Mirror.

Although he was merely lending a sword, for the Oath Society, this meant they owed Lin Qiye a great favor.

All the Oath Society members were frantically packing their things, preparing to go to the sea to set up the blasting kinetic energy轨道. The floor grew increasingly deserted. After some thought, Lin Qiye still walked to the room where Jialan lay sleeping.

He closed the door, completely isolating the busy outside world from himself. He walked to Jialan's bedside and sat down slowly.

Looking at Jialan's pale face with her brow furrowed tightly, Lin Qiye sighed deeply.

The last trace of [Immortality] power remaining in Jialan's body had locked her wounds in place, fixing her vital signs at this moment so she could survive. But at the same time, [Immortality] had also blocked Lin Qiye's [Mortal Divine Realm] from repairing the Ame-no-Murakumo sword wound.

That sword wound remained quietly on her body, like a piece of blood-colored amber.

Now, to heal Jialan's injuries, she would have to wake up on her own, transfer [Immortality] elsewhere, and then let Lin Qiye's "miracle" seep into her body...

But unfortunately, she had been lying there for nearly two days now and still showed no signs of waking, which made Lin Qiye increasingly anxious.

Could the shattering of [Immortality] have caused some negative impact on Jialan's spirit, which was why she couldn't wake up?

One thought after another emerged in Lin Qiye's mind. Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, a figure pushed open the door and walked in.

"I was wondering where you disappeared to. Turns out you're here keeping your wife company?" Jinian walked into the room, her gaze falling on the sleeping Jialan, her eyebrows lifting.
