Chapter 1112 - Dao Equipment

So I did as I just had planned, the Dao of Fortune materialized itself into a beautiful golden armor, the Dao of Path Jewels materialized into a wondrous crown of rainbow colors similar to that of Rimuru, but less majestic and intrinsic, meanwhile, the Dao of Drain turned to be an eye-shaped black jewel pendant that drained any energy around me, as long as I deemed it as a target or foe…

But what about Dao Fragments? Certainly, it was a possibly that even a tiny fragment of a Dao could Materialize, but would it materialize into just broken pieces of armor, or can it get good and become something truly memorable and amazing? As of now, I have to test it yet, but I shall wait until I test something else…

And that something else is nothing more than the Dao of Defiance, of course. What else would I want to test? It is the strongest Dao I have for some reason, and it is quite incredibly on its abilities alone. I also felt like I did some kind of taboo by creating it, but who cares about that? We have to move forward and see what this bad boy can do!

"Dao of Defiance, Materialize!"

FLASH!

The essence of the Dao of Defiance suddenly shook the world, Fate and Destiny itself trembled before its darkness, as the Dao Rivers around my Divine Realm supplied me with the power of Dao Materialization, and infused themselves into my Dao, enhancing it and materializing it into pure darkness that emerged in my right hand.

I suddenly felt a strong and hard stick in my right hand, it was materializing into a handle? Wait, so it was a weapon.

What kind of weapon could Defiance even become? This was a first, I always thought I would only have my two weapons, the spears, as my main ones, but I guess I can always get more arms to wield more weapons, no problem there.

FLASH!

The Dao Rivers shone brightly once more as their power gathered around my Divine Realm and around my hands, their power gathered into something truly frighteningly amazing. As I was able to see the power of something truly deplorable emerge before my very eyes, leaving me speechless was there, the thing I had both feared and also not, the power of the Dao of Defiance I wanted to see the most was here, right… here!

FLASH!

And it was a massive… Scythe?

Wait, it is a Scythe!

Eh?!

I have thought it would be something cooler! I-I mean, Scythes are cool, you know… they can do a lot of stuff, and they're often seen as the weapon that Death uses to harvest souls of the living, but even then, why? Why a scythe? Defiance is represented as a scythe? Honestly, I had assumed either a staff, or a spear, at worst a blade, but a scythe?!

The majestic metallic scythe was made of pure materialized Dao Essence which seemed as dark as the abyss itself. I don't have any idea why the Dao of Defiance is so god damn edgy on appearance, but it seems that the power to devour destiny and change it forcefully is part of being dark and evil in some kind of way, defying the destiny of the entire universe through it might had changed the nature of the Dao to inherently not look so shiny, but dark like the abyss, the chaos itself that emerges from the disturbances between forces of nature…

This Scythe in specific shone brightly with the colors of black, purple, and red, and it looked streamlined and quite beautiful in nature and appearance, most of the handle was black and purple, while the blade was pure crimson red, as if it had been recently bathed in blood.

I felt like Dao Materialized Equipment had way more to them than just a weapon you could wield or an armor/accessory you could equip. I mean… like, just like normal weapons and accessories, they must have innate abilities awakened through the transformation, right? Something else!

I could feel it now, as I held all these glorious pieces of equipment over my body, I felt like an MMORPG character that had a lot of mixed equipment for maximum efficiency, but instead of looking ugly, they all looked so majestic that it didn't mattered if they were quite different from one another.

And this Scythe… I felt like it had something within it.

"Andromeda, do these equipment… have special abilities?" I wondered.

I could feel the Daos constantly draining my divine energy by the billions in these forms, even more, the Dao Rivers were also being emptied and would take some time to recover once more through this use of the Dao Materialization Ability, but it was just fair to know how to use it and see the abilities I could use on it, so my battles could be better thought and more to my favor! Knowing everything about my own abilities is, after all, the key for success and survival.

In this dangerous world of Genesis where every freaking god might become a Supreme out of nowhere, and where even the Undead of the past which had died in the Ragnarök suddenly began to emerge, and an apocalypse-level era started, it was obvious I wanted as many advantages as physically and spiritually possible!

But what's there to it other than this?

"Indeed they do! Each and every equipment suddenly awakened an Ability… The Fortune Armor is named [Fate Armor], the Path Jewel Crown is named [Path Jewel Domination], the Drain Pendant is [All-Drain], and the last one, the Defying Scythe Ability is… [Harvest Destiny]!"

"What…! Those sound amazing! W-What do they do?" I asked desperately.

"Fufu… You have to try them out!" said Andromeda, as she encouraged me to try them out.

A sudden tremor happened, as a massive Titanic Supreme God-Realm Divine Beast emerged from nearby mountains.

TRUUUMMM!!!

It looked like a giant earth golem, a perfect target for my new abilities! A good guinea pig, fufu…
