Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

(PS: I got the timing wrong and posted tomorrow's chapters all at once.)

As she opened her eyes, everyone saw the golden eyes in her pupils.

She looked at Liu Nian, bowed slightly, and performed an ancient and elegant gesture.

"Following the covenant, return from your slumber." Her voice was no longer ethereal and distant, but clear and gentle, with a texture like the clinking of jade stones. "My name is Arachne. From this day forward, my knowledge and power, my past and my future, will accompany you, Lord of the Covenant."

As soon as she finished speaking, her entire body burst forth with a soft light once more, and her figure rapidly shrank and changed within the light!

When the light faded, what stood at Liu Nian's feet was no longer the tall, goddess-like figure, but a tiny spider the size of a palm, with an extremely delicate appearance.

This spider is translucent silver-white, as if it were carved from crystal.

Its eight slender, powerful legs have pale gold toes.

The little spider lightly leaped onto Liu Nian's shoulder and gently touched his cheek with one of its forelegs, a gesture that was both affectionate and natural.

At the same time, a clear stream of information flowed directly into Liu Nian.

Form Switching: Arachne has three forms: Goddess Form, Spider Form, and Half-Spider-Man Form, each with a different skill set.

……

Because the series of skills that followed was too long, Liu Nian simply couldn't keep up.

In short, they made a killing this time! Absolutely incredible!

This is more than just gaining a powerful combat partner; it's like encountering a living legend and a walking treasure trove of knowledge!

Before Liu Nian could even process the torrent of information and the shock it caused, another system announcement suddenly resounded throughout the entire human forces channel on Blue Star!

[Server-wide Announcement (Human Faction on Earth): Player "Liu Nian" has successfully subdued the [Eternal] special being—'Dreamweaver Arachne'—with extraordinary power deep within the lost floating city of "Anaxiasim"!]

As the first player to capture a [Eternal] unit, Liu Nian has made history for humanity on Earth and will receive an additional 3 pet slots as a reward.

The announcement was made once, twice, three times!

The golden system text, like a brand, hangs above the eyes of every Blue Star player, constantly refreshing and lingering for a long time!

This is not just a display of personal achievement; it's more like a thunderclap that shakes the entire power structure!

In an instant, the entire human forces channel on Blue Star fell into a brief silence.

It was as if everyone was so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information contained in the announcement that they lost their ability to speak.

Immediately afterwards—

The channel completely exploded!

Countless messages flooded the screen like a tsunami, with question marks, exclamation marks, and exclamations in various languages ​​and tones drowning out all other communication!

"Holy crap??? Eternal level?! Am I seeing things or is it a system bug?!"

"Liu Nian, the big shot? The one who single-handedly stormed the pigmen's territory and slaughtered a thousand pigs??"

"How is this possible?! How could an eternal being be subdued?!"

"The announcement has been posted three times! It's true! My god... what does an Eternal-level magical pet even mean?!"

"Dragon Soaring Guild is defying the heavens!!"

"Liu Nian, please show us your stats! Please provide screenshots! Show us what you're made of!"

"Are you an idiot upstairs? Open your eyes, my foot! I'll give you a quick scalpel job to open your eyes!"

"Is Longxiang still recruiting?! I'm defecting right now!!"

……

Chaos, shock, ecstasy, jealousy, disbelief... all sorts of emotions fermented and collided wildly in the channel.

It is foreseeable that this announcement will not only sweep across the Earth, but also through the intelligence networks of all forces in Cyber ​​Hell, like the most violent storm, triggering an immeasurable chain reaction.

However, Liu Nian, who was at the eye of the storm, had no time to feel the excitement in the channel.

Because, before the echoes of the faction's announcement had completely faded, a system notification specifically for him also sounded:

[The core protocol of the floating city 'Anaxia' has been activated: The active contract link of 'Dreamweaver Arachne' has been transferred and established. According to the highest authority inheritance terms preset by Arachne, the creator of 'Anaxia'...]

[Player Liu Nian, you have become the bearer and contractor of the will of the 'Dream Weaver'.]

You automatically acquire the right to inherit ownership of the 'Anaxiasim Floating City'.

[Do you wish to accept the title of "Lord of Anaxiasim" and officially become the new master of this legendary floating city?]

Liu Nian was slightly taken aback.

The new master of the floating city?

This development exceeded his previous expectations.

He thought that subduing Arachne as his magical pet was the pinnacle of his adventure.

"This title..." he cautiously inquired in his mind, "What exactly does it mean? Or rather, what will happen if I accept it?"

The system prompt immediately provided a detailed and clear explanation:

By accepting the title of "Lord of Anaxiasim," you will gain the following privileges and changes:

1. Identity and Permissions

Your identity will change to "Lord of Anaxim", granting you supreme administrative authority over all areas of the floating city.

Automatically gain absolute control over the remaining defense system, energy network, and information database of 'Anaxiasim'.

They possess the ability to enter and exit the floating city at any time via exclusive teleportation privileges.

2. Management Panel:

Unlock a unique panel: Anaxim City Main Control Panel.

This panel allows users to view the overall structural status diagram of the floating city and various key data indicators (such as energy reserves, structural integrity, weapon system status, and functional area status) in real time.

The panel allows users to perform long-term planning, issue resource allocation commands, and set priorities for some automated systems.

3. Control permissions (requires activation after corresponding system repair):

It possesses the final authorization for the core functions of the floating city, including the "Flying Array," "Warp Array," "Global Defense Array," and "Strategic Weapon Array."

You can authorize or revoke certain permissions for other individuals/groups within the floating city.

above. 】

This series of permission descriptions, especially the last few—"flight array," "jump array," "strategic weapon array"—each word was like a heavy hammer, striking Liu Nian's heart hard!

Holy crap?!

Is there really such a good thing?!

This isn't just inheriting a "title," it's practically inheriting a super aerial fortress that can fly, teleport, and has city-destroying firepower!

Moreover, since you can teleport here at any time, doesn't that mean this huge space becomes your "private warehouse"?

What's there to hesitate about? What's there to consider?!

Liu Nian responded in his heart without hesitation and with unwavering resolve:

"Agreed! I accept the title of 'Lord of Anaxim'!"
