Chapter 140: Chapter 138: The Jealousy of the Wings of Greed

The game character died again, as expected.

But Yang Qizhou’s feelings this time were completely different from before. Now, he felt the game character died a worthy death, a satisfying death—a truly damn valuable one.

Even pulling out the {Destiny Fire Bottle} felt willingly done.

The text continued to refresh.

After another round of familiar death sequences...

...

...

"Your death conclusion has been rewritten. You opened your eyes again in the Dragon Nest."

"This time, you felt truly comfortable in death. Stretching lazily, you loosened your body, delighted at acquiring the ’Circle of Friendliness’ and elevating the status of two ’Divine Descent Sacrificial Objects’ belonging to the ’King of Virtue.’"

"You thought about the properties of the ’Circle of Friendliness,’ and suddenly, a bold plan emerged in your mind."

"Based on the old man’s description, there are only two methods to open the ’Prayer Box’ in the Heroic Spirit Hall: solving the problem at the bottom of the ’North Realm Abyss,’ or having any one of the nine ancient gods open the ’Prayer Box.’"

"Then, if you use the effects of the {Circle of Friendliness} to max out the ’Harvest Goddess’ favor, and request her help to open the Prayer Box, wouldn’t it be easy to snatch the ’lucky coin’?"

"The more you thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed."

"You continued pondering deeply."

"First, directly using the ’Circle of Friendliness’ definitely won’t work. Although this Divine Descent Sacrificial Object from the ’King of Virtue’ can max out the ’Harvest Goddess’ favor, as one of Asgard’s nine ancient gods, the Harvest Goddess isn’t a fool. If she suddenly felt immense favorability toward you for no apparent reason, she would certainly sense that something was fishy."

"Therefore, you must find an opportunity to make the ’Harvest Goddess’ believe her affection for you is naturally justified."

"But where could such an opportunity be?"

"Soon, a cunning smile crept across your face. You thought of the large-scale god-war between the ’Harvest Goddess’ and the ’Wings of Greed,’ and muttered to yourself... Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?"

"Without hesitation, you set your target: assist the ’Harvest Goddess’ in defeating the ’Wings of Greed,’ making the effects of the ’Circle of Friendliness’ appear smoother and more natural."

"You looked up at the sky, eagerly anticipating the fierce battle between the ’Harvest Goddess’ and the ’Wings of Greed.’"

"Suddenly, your expression changed to one of shock..."

"You saw that the divine battle was no longer as intense as it had been. The ’Wings of Greed’ repeatedly let out dragon roars—sharp, strange, and piercing. Maddening ravings struck your mind, causing searing pain."

"You also saw the ’Harvest Goddess’ wear a contemplative expression; the ferocity of the fight had clearly dulled."

"You murmured to yourself that something was not right."

"The ’Wings of Greed’ seemed to be explaining something to the ’Harvest Goddess,’ and this god of harvest—of all things—was apparently starting to accept the ’Wings of Greed’s’ argument. Perhaps they would reconcile soon."

"You began to panic. If the ’Wings of Greed’ and the ’Harvest Goddess’ reconciled and returned to their respective domains, your carefully plotted plan would be utterly ruined."

"This cannot happen."

"You steeled yourself and thought of a particularly cruel scheme."

"Your expression twisted slightly in malice... although this would come at a cost, in order to expedite your career transition to becoming a wizard, you couldn’t afford to think otherwise."

"You pulled out a godly skull."

"Specifically, {Head of Jealousy}."

...

...

The Head of Jealousy? Do I even have such an item... What the hell, it’s that cursed artifact.

Initially, Yang Qizhou didn’t react. After all, ever since he looted this sinister artifact from the Abyss Old God’s corpse, he had never thought of using it—he’d long forgotten it, letting it collect dust in some dark corner. Only when the game text prompted him did he remember its existence.

"{Head of Jealousy} is a super-epic item with two effects: first, it stirs jealousy in the target’s mind; second, it conceptually allows you to claim ownership of a person or object."

"Its effects are undoubtedly powerful, but the catch is... This is an ancient object with terrifyingly negative drawbacks."

"Each use of this artifact allows the ’jealousy personality’ to grow stronger."

"It’s practically a personality-splitting simulator."

"Am I seriously going to use this wicked thing?"

The snacks Yang Qizhou happily freeloaded from that clueless kid earlier suddenly lost their flavor. His gaze flickered, and he found himself caught in an agonizing dilemma.

At this moment, he could absolutely halt the game text’s progress—he had countless methods to do so. The simplest, of course, would be to leverage the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’s’ power to return to the moment of his last decision.

That way, the {Circle of Friendliness} would still be safely in his possession, and he’d lose nothing in the process.

But the issue was...

The game text had made it abundantly clear: the game character was planning to use the {Circle of Friendliness} to gain favor with the ’Harvest Goddess,’ enlist her help to open the Heroic Spirit Hall’s ’Prayer Box,’ and retrieve the ’lucky coin.’

This item was the deactivated aspect of the ’God of Victory’ and an essential material to complete his transition into a wizard.

Currently, with the ’Sky Blue Spear’ harboring unexplained hostility toward the game character and the route of resealing the depths of the ’North Realm Abyss’—where it connects to the Endless Abyss—now completely unviable, missing this opportunity meant who knew when the next one would come.

Yang Qizhou gritted his teeth...

"The storyline ahead is bound to grow even more perilous. Transitioning into a wizard can’t be delayed any longer. So what if it’s ’personality’ splitting? Besides, the effects from the first use shouldn’t be that bad."

"I’m all in."

He chose not to activate the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’s power and instead let the text refresh further.

...

...

"First, you once again invoked the {Destiny Revelation} Wizard Mark, using the unseen force of fate to guide the ’Harvest Goddess’ to the location of her personal belonging."

"Next, you targeted the ’Wings of Greed’ and activated the {Head of Jealousy}’s effect."

"Judgment succeeded, effect triggered. You awakened the ’Wings of Greed’s’ jealousy. It envied the ’Harvest Goddess’ for retaining her autonomy and not being consumed by divinity. Effect duration: one hour."

"You saw that the ’Harvest Goddess,’ whose demeanor had softened moments ago, instinctively turned her gaze toward the edge of the Dragon Nest, where she spotted her personal belonging."

"You also saw that the ’Wings of Greed’ seized the moment while the ’Harvest Goddess’ was distracted and launched an attack. Greed-laden little demons surged toward the holy figure like a tidal wave, accompanied by earsplitting dragon roars."

"You also also saw sinister power rippling through the void as a jet-black ’Harvest Goddess’ emerged from the ’Wings of Greed’s’ body—a counterfeit crafted using its authority, taking the ’Harvest Goddess’ as its blueprint."

"You also also also saw the ’Wings of Greed’s’ razor-sharp claw pierce through the Greed counterfeit of the ’Harvest Goddess.’"

"Then something remarkable happened."

"The Greed counterfeit remained unscathed, yet the real ’Harvest Goddess’ coughed up divine blood, with a ghastly wound splitting open on her chest."

"Your heart leapt; you hadn’t anticipated the ’Wings of Greed’ wielding such strange methods."

"But soon, a sinister grin spread across your face—this was exactly what you had hoped for."

"Without delay, you activated the Wizard Mark {Destiny Revelation} again, targeting the ’Harvest Goddess.’ The prompt: ’The Wings of Greed is committing fraud. If they didn’t steal your personal belonging and didn’t wish to be your enemy, why would they suddenly launch an attack?’"

"Having done all this, you muttered to yourself... Truly, I’m getting smarter by the day."

...

...

What an astonishingly twisted thought process—the game character truly is becoming more and more like me. Utterly, completely, ridiculously intelligent.

Reading the game’s text, Yang Qizhou was filled with excitement. "If the plan succeeds, then the ’Harvest Goddess’ and the game character will soon be the best of friends, hahaha!"

But soon Yang Qizhou’s laughter faltered,

and a flash of worry crossed his eyes.

The {Head of Jealousy} had already been used. Logically, its negative effects should also be in effect, and the ’jealousy personality’ should have already emerged.

When exactly would it appear?

Yang Qizhou paused the game, waiting to see how the ’jealousy personality’ would manifest.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes passed.

Half an hour later, still no ’jealousy personality.’ Not even a trace. It was as though the negative effects of the {Head of Jealousy} were just an ominous scare tactic.

"Could it be that when the game character uses ancient objects, the negative effects don’t transfer to the player?"

"If that’s the case, then many of my previous theories might be wrong."

Frowning slightly, Yang Qizhou checked the time, which was already past eleven o’clock. With the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’ opportunity unused, he quickly adjusted his mindset and refocused on the game.

"Take it one step at a time. The first use of the {Head of Jealousy} shouldn’t have too severe an effect."

"Let’s keep going."

...

...

"You saw the ’Harvest Goddess,’ glistening with holy light, filled with fury. From the wound on her chest sprouted vine-like tendrils laced with a glowing aura, quickly healing the ghastly injury."

"You saw the ’Harvest Goddess’ unleash a piercing cry filled with wrath, condemning the ’Wings of Greed’ as despicable. Six or seven thousand-meter-tall trees erupted from the ground like nature’s whips, violently striking at the ’Wings of Greed.’"

"You saw the ’Wings of Greed,’ still engulfed by jealousy, singularly set on killing the ’Harvest Goddess.’ Its terrifying dragon roar resounded through the heavens and earth, as its formidable Dragon Breath concentrated into a God Defying Spear that severed all the towering trees."

"You saw countless ’greed little demons’ charging at the ’Harvest Goddess,’ while the ’plant spirits’ were not to be outdone."

"The skies and ground, just recovering from the earlier havoc, became embroiled in an even more earth-shattering clash due to the renewed god-war. The terrifying divine forces raged, countless demons in the gray-white fog perishing as collateral."

"The ’Harvest Goddess’ was beginning to fall into a disadvantage."

"You reflected in silence, thinking that the ’greed counterfeit’ must have inflicted serious unseen damage on the ’Harvest Goddess,’ not fully healed despite the surface wounds mending."

"A smile tugged at your lips."

"Now is the best moment to earn the ’Harvest Goddess’s’ favor, isn’t it?"
