Reincarnation: Only I Can Play the Villain

"Life-killing stone? Why did you suddenly mention this kind of thing.

On the 8th floor of the Tower of Babel, in the workshop of Hephaestus,

The red-haired goddess frowned slightly and looked at Chu Mu.

"Even from the perspective of a god, it is an extremely evil magic item.

"It's nothing, I just came across relevant information when I was flipping through ancient books."

Chu Mu who met Hephaestus as "The Fool" said casually.

So... can you tell me about the nature of the 'killing stone'?"

As a goddess of forging, Hephaestus should have a clear understanding of the nature of most materials and props.

This is why Chu Mu came to visit her.

Although he remembers most of the plots in the original work,

But I don't remember too many details about the "killing stone".

After all, there is no need to deliberately remember this kind of thing.

"The killing stone..."

Although I really don't want to recall the purpose and origin of this kind of thing.

But since it was Chu Mu's request, Hephaistos still nodded and agreed, and murmured.

"It is a special item exclusively for the Vulpey clan."

"A 'Forbidden Magic Item' made from 'Tamamo Stone' and 'Toba Stone' as materials.

"The so-called 'Tamazawa Stone' is actually an item made from the bones of the fox people.

There is such a thing?

Chu Mu also frowned like a goddess,

He probably understood why Hephaestus was somewhat resistant to 07's killing stone.

This kind of magic prop made from the corpse of the dead...

It really challenges the three views of normal people.

"Another material, 'Toba no Stone' is also known as 'Moon Sigh Stone'.

When he mentioned his field of expertise, Hephaisto's face also looked better.

"This is a special ore that changes color when it encounters moonlight and can produce magic power. Ordinary blacksmiths will also use it as a material for forging weapons."

"However, this ore has a characteristic, that is, it can exert its greatest effect on the night of the full moon."

clang!

The goddess of forging waved the forging hammer in her hand, and concluded.

Therefore, the 'killing stone' made of these two materials also inherits the corresponding characteristics.

"That is, on the night of the full moon, the effect of the strange stone can be aroused.

The ritual of the killing stone is held on the full moon, and the soul and magic of the fox can be sealed into the killing stone together.

The "killing stone" completed in this way can impart precious magic to others.

In other words, the so-called "killing stone" is actually a release tool.

As a price, the sacrificed vultures will become empty shells that have lost their souls.

Lively strip the soul from the body,

This is the reason why the "killing stone" is called a taboo item.

"Moreover, once the killing stone is broken, the soul encapsulated inside will never be restored. w

Hephaestus said in a low tone.

"But the shattered killing stone has the same effect as the main body.

"In the records of the use of killing stones in history, all killing stones were eventually broken into dozens of pieces."

"This means that...all the souls imprisoned in the killing stone have completely lost hope of reshaping.

"That's all I know, what else do you want to know?"

...... Enough, thank you. "

Chu Mu calculated in his heart with deep eyes,

The next full moon...is in 7 days.

It seems he found Chun Hee a week earlier than the original plot.

This is good, leaving him more room for action.

"Suddenly asked about this, don't you mean that you want to kill the life stone?"

Hephaestus looked at Chu Mu suspiciously, seeing him lost in thought, couldn't help but said.

"Not to mention that killing stones are very rare, even the ready-made vulpe is a very rare orc race.

"I don't think there are a few normal vulpes in the whole of Orario."

Because the fox people are the only group that can master magic among all the races of orcs.

Therefore, the quantity is relatively very rare, and it is difficult to come across it at ordinary times.

"It's nothing, my children don't need this method to improve their strength.

Chu Mu smiled and shook his head, denying Hephaestus' guess.

However, he did not deny his interest in killing stones.

Seal the magic and give it to other people to use... It sounds a bit like a low-end version of the "rubbing card".

It's just that the rubbing card in the reincarnation space is much more convenient than the killing stone,

Not only does it not need to sacrifice the soul, but it can also rub all kinds of skills, not limited to magic.

The only downside is that the skill of Rubbing is only Lv1 and has to consume resources to upgrade.

However, according to Hephaestus' description, this "killing stone" also has certain merits.

Otherwise, it will not become the most critical prop in Iska's plan.

"What have you been up to recently? I haven't heard from you for a long time."

While thinking about it, a tentative inquiry came from the red-haired goddess.

This is probably one of the few times when she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with other male gods.

"Recently..."

Chu Mu recalled that "The Fool" really didn't show much face these days.

For the sake of the coordinates of the Kingdom of God, he is basically acting as an adventurer.

"I moved the family headquarters to another house, and now I am Hestia's tenant.

"Ah? You were the one who Hestia said that day?"

Hearing Chu Mu's words, Hephaestus exclaimed with a subtle expression.

"Take advantage of..."

Chu Mu frowned and gave her a playful look.

The red-haired goddess immediately shook her head and hurriedly explained.

"She just told me that there was a bully who helped to advance 80% of the maintenance costs of the palace. I didn't expect that she was talking about you..."

"At least I got a lot of rooms, so it's a fair deal."

Chu Mu sighed helplessly, and looked at Hephaestus.

"Let's let that loli goddess be arrogant for a while, after all, her family finally won a war game."

Hearing Chu Mu's words, Hephaestus somehow remembered a certain paragraph B, and gritted her teeth.

"Don't get too used to her, this guy is the kind of troublesome person who will become useless if you don't pay attention."

Chu Mu also remembered that Hestia had been eating and drinking at the forging goddess for several months.

Then the story of being kicked out of the house by Hephaestus, who became angry from embarrassment, could only helplessly spread his hands.

....... I will pay attention. "

Night fell again.

On the edge of a bustling street in the south of the city.

A slender figure covered in a cloak,

Go alone to the dark alley leading to the street of night.

"If Yasifei knew that I was coming to this kind of place, he would hang me on a tree angrily, wouldn't he?"

"Well, I'm a man anyway... a god, and going to the Street of the Night once in a while is nothing to be proud of."

"And this time it was entrusted by someone, it's an official business."

"Well, if it is discovered, it will be explained with this reason."

This guy who's talking to himself, thinking,

A god named "Hermes".

He is not based in Orario like other gods.

Instead, they often travel between countries and cities.

So he often receives commissions for "delivery".

This time...he accepted Ishtar's request,

Ship a rather special and valuable item.

Although this item was sealed in an ebony wooden box.

But the well-informed Hermes has already noticed what's inside.

"What does Ishtar want this thing for?"

"Forget it, anyway, 137 is none of my business...huh?"

Suddenly, the male god shrouded in a cloak stopped in his tracks.

He raised his hand to support the brim of his hat, and wiped his gaze forward.

A tall, blue-haired beauty,

Leaning on the black and red giant sword, waiting for something.

"Sword of the Overlord, is she the Empress of the Fool's Family?"

Seeing this glamorous beauty at the first glance, Hermes recognized her identity, and a little doubt appeared in his heart.

This is the street of night... A beautiful woman like her, what is she doing here?

The next moment, Hermes knew the answer.

"Tsk, the gods in the state of mortals really don't have any challenges at all."

Looking at Hermes, who was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and he hadn't reacted yet,

Estes shook his head involuntarily, feeling no sense of accomplishment at all.

The gods are not dead.

At the moment when bodily functions are about to die,

In order to protect the gods from fatal injuries, resulting in complete physical death.

The sealed "divine power" was activated, and the holy light immediately illuminated the dark alley like daylight.

In the next instant, countless balls of light floated up from the position where Hermes fell——

"Boom!"

Accompanied by an astonishing bang, a huge beam of light rose towards the night sky.

The use of "divine power" in the mortal world has naturally violated the rules formulated by the gods.

At the moment of "resurrection", Hermes was directly sent back to the heaven.

Estes watched the meteor flying up from the ground disappear,

Go up and pick up an exquisite ebony box from the ground.

She lifted the wooden box and waved it against the wall a few times.

As if to say "things I have got."

And Chu Mu, who witnessed the whole process through the calamity raven, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Very good...the 'chess pieces' are in place."

"Next, prepare to checkmate.
