Laura thought about it over and over, still a bit concerned.
She muttered: “The strongest, most wicked, and most feared—— how exactly do you intend to complete these three conditions?”
Gu Qing Shan answered: “Firstly, I will need a set of armor”
“Armor?” Laura parroted his words.
“Yeah, an armor that requires the wearer to fulfil some sort of especially wicked conditions in order to wear it” Gu Qing Shan said.
“I see——-”
Laura thought about if briefly and felt relaxed: “The [Embrace of the Saint] armor required that you must be a [Pure] person in order to wear it, so if you instead wear a wicked set of armor, the people of this world would naturally recognize you as an evil person”
“——-If that was the case, no matter what you do, it would be considered evil, and no one would doubt your identity”
Gu Qing Shan nodded: “It’s safer to have a set of armor, and since that blood moon had already seen me wearing the [Embrace of the Saint] armor, I have to wear a set of evil armor in order to prevent it from recognizing me at certain points in time”
Laura rolled up her sleeves and said: “Alright! Then let me try to collect——-”
“No need” Gu Qing Shan told her.
“Why not?” Laura halted herself and asked.
“There’s currently a rare auction that only happens once every thousand years. There are definitely many evil armors of high quality that’s being sold right now, all we need to do is buy one. This way, the armor’s background would be clean, no one would doubt anything” Gu Qing Shan told her.
“Then—–”
“Disengage all of our concealment, we’re going to pick a set of armor”
Laura put her umbrella away.
Gu Qing Shan once again appeared in the hotel suite.
“Black City Manager, please show me the auction list” Gu Qing Shan called out.
A flash of light appeared in front of him, turning into a screen that opened up from the middle.
Gu Qing Shan then said:
“Filter condition: Armor”
“Sort and display from the most powerful to weakest”
The electronic voice answered: [Currently filtering, please wait]
A few moments later, holograms and pictures of several sets of armor appeared.
They were lined up neatly as they silently floated in the suite.
While observing them, Gu Qing Shan silently sent his voice: “Laura, you’re more of an expert on choosing treasures than I am, take a look to see if there’s anything that fit our requirements”
“I’ll take a look” Laura answered seriously and took a look at the armors.
After meticulously examining them for a while, she pointed at two sets of armor in particular: “Among all the auction items, these two are the most powerful, and they’re filled with an evil aura. Take a look first and see if you can wear them”
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two sets of armor Laura had pointed out.
Lines of text appeared next to the sets of armor to display their descriptions.
“This set of armor is called the [Dark Tyrant], it requires the wearer to have at least destroyed a thousand worlds and killed an innumerable number of living beings in order to put it on——- I only fulfil one of these conditions, so I can’t wear it”
“Yeah, you’ve saved too many worlds, so you definitely wouldn’t be able to wear this armor” Laura also agreed.
The two of them turned to the other set of armor and read its description.
Laura quickly skimmed through and sighed: “This set of armor requires the wearer to have deceived countless living beings and even the Apocalypse——”
She shook her head: “Tsk, this requirement is too high, it’s even tougher compared to the previous one. The other one only requires you to kill and destroy, but this one is so much more troublesome—— oh well, you won’t be able to wear these two, Gu Qing Shan”
“Wait… give me a minute” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Huh?” Laura was a bit confused.
Gu Qing Shan had fallen into thought.
When the Game of Eternal appeared, I came up with the Murder Clown plan to put on a show, which managed to fool the entire world.
Before the reinforcements of Huang Quan arrived, I purposely acted to stall for time and deceived the Heavenly God.
In the Suspended world, I impersonated Qi Yan and deceived everyone in that world.
At the snowy peaks of the Old Gods, I deceived a large number of demonized people.
In the Age of Old, I deceived the entire Divine race.
After that——-
I bamboozled a group of people to reincarnate into the Heaven realm.
Duped the Sacred Chant Angel.
Misled the group of possessors inside the Tomb of Myriad Beasts’ great tomb.
Fooled the assailants of the Wraith Realm.
Tricked the Deities of Fate.
Hoodwinked Reneedol.
…
I’ve deceived too many people to even remember.
Not too long ago, I masqueraded as the Invincible Spirit Snatcher Apocalypse to deceive both the Silent Light and the End of Time Apocalypse.
At the very last moment——-
And Awaitings and I had actually chased these two Unfathomable Apocalypses away with a ruse.
In that case… I probably fulfil the conditions?
Hm, I do.
But why do I feel kind of strange about that?
Gu Qing Shan hesitantly said: “I can probably wear this”
“You can wear it?”
Laura gave him a strange look, then was startled as she remembered: “That’s right, back in Triste’s collection world, you deceived all of those people”
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and added: “I’ve also deceived the Silent Light and the End of Time Apocalypses, foiling their plans—- this was all done to save Reality”
“Yeah, that’s right, that is certainly the case” Laura lightly sighed.
The two of them both turned towards the set of armor.
——–it was a jet-black set of full-body armor that didn’t look bulky, the plating itself also seemed a bit thin, giving off a light and nimble impression.
It seemed almost like an assassin-centric armor.
Lines of descriptions were shown on the screen of the auction list:
[Armor: Wicked Oppressor]
[Description: An exceptionally powerful legendary armor, but no one had ever been able to wear it. For countless years, it had been treated as a work of art to be collected and appreciated”
[Price: 8 billion Evil coins]
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly before declaring: “This is it. Hey, Black City Manager, exchange some money for me”
[Yes, young master Gu] the electronic voice replied.
Gu Qing Shan moved the ring and continuously poured out the treasures inside.
Black City Manager continued the exchange with him for almost an entire minute before he finally exchanged enough.
Black City Manager stated: [Money received]
[Please wait a moment, the armor will be delivered to you shortly]
[Furthermore, young master Gu, I must tell you first that this will be a renowned event]
“Why?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The electronic voice answered: [Because this set of armor had always been famous, but no one had ever been able to wear and experience its power. You will be the very first person in Black City to have ever worn it]
Gu Qing Shan just smiled without saying anything.
A few moments later.
A black metal box the size of half an adult human was directly transported into the suite.
[The armor has been delivered, do you still require my services, your grace?] the electronic voice asked.
“Not for now, you’re dismissed” Gu Qing Shan answered.
[Very well, please call for me at any moment]
After saying this, the electronic voice went silent again.
Gu Qing Shan walked forward and stood in front of the metal box.
Kssssh!
The box opened by itself, revealing the jet-black armor to him.
Gu Qing Shan put his hand on the armor.
Clack——-
The set of armor immediately scattered into dozens of components that spun around him before equipping itself onto his body.
The armor was very light, which gave the wearer a graceful presence as they wore it.
While Gu Qing Shan stood still, a layer of fog manifested around the armor that completely obscured him.
—-he looked like he was standing in a mass of black fog, giving off a strange eerie presence.
Oong!
The armor let out a sharp howl that continued for a while before fading away.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve deceived countless living beings, many of which were entities of extreme power]
[Even an Apocalypse Sequence had been a plaything in your hands]
[The Wicked Oppressor could sense your brilliant talents, for which it calls out in joy, feeling fortunate that it had finally graced a true King of Bully]
[As long as you ask, it will inform you of its detailed attributes]
Gu Qing Shan didn’t hesitate to tap the armor on his body and asked: “What exactly can you do?”
Instantly, he felt a strange sensation.
The mass of dark fog continuously swirled around him, bestowing him a sense of natural enlightenment of the armor’s powers.
At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Armor: Wicked Oppressor]
[Legendary artifact]
[Those who wear it naturally gain the title: Mockingbird]
[This title contains the exclusive Title Skill: Yesterday Recollection]
[Yesterday Recollection: Reanimate the sins of your enemy’s past, causing them to be hopelessly immersed inside. Can attach on anybody, proceeding to torture and slaughter them]
[—–to toy and to mock, that is the meaning of this armor’s existence]
