Their commission was suspicious.

"Yeah, I know. If all else fails, we'll just have to flip the table." Chen Luo nodded to himself.

"How to flip the table? Of course there are. Don't you have several? For example... use the Book of Friends to summon the other person to the 3rd floor, then permanently seal off the 3rd floor and lock the other person there forever."

"I feel like I've seen this kind of plot somewhere before... like the rice cooker in Dragon Ball?" Chen Luo said uncertainly.

“It’s called Mafuba, Mafuba,” Othinus emphasized.

“However, while this method isn’t exactly a bad one, it’s not exactly a good one either. After all, you wouldn’t want someone watching you while you’re sleeping with the bartender, would you?” Little Othinus chuckled.

"Can we not talk about this anymore? I was just thinking about it. When did I ever actually sleep with a bartender?" Chen Luo said somewhat embarrassedly.

Some things are fine to think about yourself, but it's still embarrassing to have them said aloud by others.

For example, right now.

Chapter 677 Kinothinus: Chen Luo, you didn't want this either...

"It's unbelievable that this is actually a demon god."

"Indeed. But should we report that they want to destroy the world?"

"It doesn't really matter, anyway, whether it gets reported or not, the higher-ups probably can't stop the Demon God. Of course, also, regardless of whether they report it or not, Chen Luo should be able to stop the Demon God." Tsuchimikado Motoharu was basically confirming Chen Luo's reliability as a traveler.

"It's hard to imagine why the other party would have the Spear of the Gods. I wonder which bastard made it for them." Kanzaki Kaori thought to herself as she recalled the Spear of the Gods that the other party had put back into their eye sockets.

Kanzaki Kaori didn't think of Chen Luo as the source of the God's Spear, since Chen Luo did indeed possess the God's Spear, but its appearance would definitely be significantly different.

Chen Luo also showed off his God's Spear at the beginning, which was scarlet.

While it is indeed possible to create more gold ones, firstly, although they are all gold, Chen Luo's gold Gungnir cannot be kept for long.

Secondly, the two guns look different.

"..."

Chen Luo, who had just thrown Kanzaki Kaori's long command sword into the river, transforming it into a golden and silver command sword which he then put into his robes, now held Kanzaki Kaori's original command sword, unsure of what to do.

Although he did indeed give the other party the Spear of God, he also redeemed himself by preventing the other party from using the Spear of God to destroy the world. In any case, in the original story, the other party did obtain the Spear of God, so the result is the same. What is different is the person who stopped the other party from destroying the world and the method used.

“Othinus, are you interested in coming into the river and seeing if you can materialize an enhanced version of yourself?” Chen Luo asked, squatting by the riverbank.

Chen Luo was actually quite curious about this question, but when he asked Little Euthinus about it, Little Euthinus couldn't give any absolutely correct answer.

After all, the upper limit of the River God's power has never been shown, nor has the upper limit of the Demon God's power.

“…Perhaps we can give it a try.” Othinus did not refuse, because he was quite interested in the trump cards Chen Luo possessed, since he might need them to stop Chen Luo from acting recklessly in the future.

Just how high is the limit to Chen Luo's abilities?

this is a problem.

"I don't think it'll work, after all, this is a demon god." Kanzaki Kaori, whose command sword had been returned to her by Chen Luo, held little hope.

“Indeed, this is a demon god.” Tsuchimikado Motoharu nodded in agreement.

Although Tsuchimikado Motoharu was shocked by Chen Luo's special identity as an angel assassin, he realized that angel assassins are not demon gods, and angels are not demon gods.

While Angel Slayer is outrageous—it can project Gungnir from another world into gold—it's impossible for it to project a demon god, right?

Or rather, the fact that it can project humans is already outrageous enough; it can't be any more outrageous.

"Really? Let me tell you, Chen Luo's river can project anything, it just sometimes becomes blurry," Wendy said from the side.

“You have no idea what a demon god is,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu said, glancing at Wendy.

“You have no idea what Chen Luo is.” Wendy shook her head.

Don't judge Chen Luo based on your own preconceived notions, or he'll surprise you.

Just like how no one thought Chen Luo's river could project people back then.

Furthermore, what no one expected was that Chen Luo's seemingly simple tool river was actually a river of time.

Who can say for sure?

"I'm curious, do you even know that this is the River of Time?" Euthinus asked, pointing to the river in front of Chen Luo.

"I know," Chen Luo nodded.

"Then why did you so readily throw your things in without fear of them sinking to the bottom?" Euthinus asked.

"That's true. If something sinks to the bottom, just go and retrieve it. As long as I fall faster than the item, I can get it. Although this river is indeed bottomless," Chen Luo said.

What can Chen Luoneng do? The key is that the only river Chen Luoneng can summon at any time is the River of Time.

Otherwise, how could it be a river of love?

Who can blame us when the river of time is so convenient?

So I love it so much I can't put it down.

"Then can you control the river of time?" Euthinus asked.

"I do have some time management skills, but I'm not an expert."

"I see..." After hearing Chen Luo's reply, Othinus walked towards the River of Time and slowly headed deeper into the river.

Perhaps because of the special nature of the demon god, Othinus only slowly sank down when he reached the middle of the two-meter-wide river of time.

The other party was actually able to walk on the surface of the illusory river of time, something that no one Chen Luo had ever seen could do.

“Don’t be surprised. Demon gods can manipulate the flow of time outside of themselves, allowing time to slow down or flow backward,” Little Othinus said, sitting on Chen Luo’s shoulder.

"If we evaluate a demon god using normal ranking methods, does the demon god's strength reach the SSS level?"

“Your rating only assesses the level of the ability, not the level of the person using the ability. How can you use that to evaluate a demon god?” Little Othinus said.

“But I always feel that once the River God’s power has a limit, and the latter Demon God is the limit of power in the endless world, my worldview seems to have reached its end,” Chen Luo said.

For Chen Luo, the River God's ability is not just an SSS-level ability, but also a special benchmark.

If the Demon God's power can easily reach SSS level, then what's the point of all the hard work Chen Luo has put in...?

Okay, that's very significant.

To be honest, the fact that one can obtain an SSS-level ability is already quite astonishing.

But Chen Luo ultimately placed his greatest expectations on the River God's abilities.

Furthermore, I don't want to see the peak combat power of the Endless World so soon.

Because this represents finiteness and limits.

"Don't overthink it. Besides, can't you see it yourself? The power of the Demon God is an SS-level ability in the friend exchange list. Of course, there's a (SSS) in parentheses." Little Othinus didn't care about any of this.

"But the problem is that the Imagine Breaker created by the demons is clearly an SSS-level ability, and there are no parentheses." This is what Chen Luo didn't understand.

“Imagine Breaker was formed from the wishes of the demons. Perhaps its greatest terror in terms of ability assessment is not the uniqueness of its ability, but its connection with the world,” said Little Othinus.

"Furthermore, the SS-rank rating you see for the opponent's demonic power here refers to the rating in other worlds. But once you enter the world of A Certain Magical Index, the opponent's ability should become SSS-rank (in parentheses). This kind of power is extremely dependent on the compatibility of different worlds, and the evaluation is different between inside and outside the world."

"Don't you know it yourself? Your greatest advantage as a traveler is that you can exert your full strength in any world, provided that those abilities have been conceptualized and modified."

"Demons are indeed very powerful, but their original essence was actually just magicians standing at the pinnacle of godhood. For them to become demons, they need a special sublimation ritual, just like the destructive ritual that I performed when I gouged out my right eye."

"After becoming a demon god through this ritual, one can do whatever one wants in the world of A Certain Magical Index. But it's not like that in other worlds."

"For example, the original body once went to the Moon World for a few tens of seconds, right? The memories I synchronized show that after the other party went to the Moon World, it lost the greatest characteristic of a demon god - manipulating phase. This means that even a demon god as powerful as it is will be changed when it goes to different worlds. But your River God ability will not be affected."

"So don't worry, your River God talent is still unique. And its potential is very high," Little Othinus comforted Chen Luo.

Because Little Othinus is Chen Luo's knowledge, Little Othinus can not only synchronize with Othinus's memories, but also sense Chen Luo's emotions.

For example, the reason Chen Luo had that thought just now was only slightly because the Demon God was so terrifying that it made Chen Luo lose some confidence.

This is quite normal, after all, it's a demon god.

Of course, more importantly, fearing the demon god is the ultimate limit of one's power.

That's the most important thing.

For Chen Luo, a traveler who fulfills the wishes of people from different worlds and traverses between them, after witnessing the infinite world, what he fears most is the finite.

It's like if we were to calculate π down to the last digit, the mathematical edifice that humanity has built over thousands of years would collapse.

For Chen Luo, who had witnessed limitless possibilities and harbored high expectations, seeing the true limits of strength was terrifying.

Having an unknown enemy is not the most terrifying thing; the most terrifying thing is witnessing the final future from the very beginning.

In doing so, Chen Luo might lose the motivation to explore the endless world.

The world is so big, I want to see it.jpg

But Little Euthinus genuinely felt that Chen Luo's worries were useless.

Please, your random item, the Book of Friends, can summon the Demon God to the bar. The Demon God can't do whatever he wants in the bar either, so what are you still worried about?

Shouldn't it be the demons who are worried about you?

And don't you even look at what kind of rewards you've received for your commissions?

Demon God Ascension Ritual!

Something that can turn you directly into a demon god!

Do you still need to worry that the limit of countless worlds is only demon gods?

Instead of pondering whether demons represent the limit of countless worlds, you should consider whether the people who create those random items represent the limit of countless worlds.

Little Euthinus understood that Chen Luo's concern had clouded his judgment.

"Wait, you didn't tell me about this."

Chen Luo was referring to the fact that Euthinus lost the most prominent characteristic of a demon god after arriving in the Moon World.

"You didn't ask. Come on, I am your knowledge; isn't my purpose to answer your questions at crucial moments?"

"If you want me to answer your question, you first need to think about this question. Isn't that what memory is all about? It doesn't appear in your mind when you don't need it, but it can instantly answer your questions when you do."

"If you could know everything instantly, what would be the point of having me? You could handle the knowledge of Othinus yourself, right? Besides, it's not too late for you to know now."

After all, the exchange of "knowledge" between Chen Luo and Little Euthinus could be described as instantaneous.

Do you spend a long time calculating 1+1=2?

After the exchange ended, time, which had seemed to have been frozen, resumed, and Euthinus sank into the river of time.

Then three Euthinus emerged from the river.

If gold and silver items don't appear permanently, Chen Luo won't be able to gain the River God's power.

So Chen Luo didn't go down at all.

"Phew..." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three Othinus.

Speaking of the River God's abilities, he truly deserves to be recognized as one of the strongest support characters by the official team.

Although I don't know which official source it is.

It's unclear whether the gold and silver Othinus have been enhanced, but at least they've been copied.

"I'm outta here!" Chen Luo instinctively dodged to the side.

And then it turned out that Chen Luoshan was right.

Because the next moment, the golden and silver Othinus rushed in front of Chen Luo almost simultaneously as they stepped out of the river of time, intending to punch him.

For some reason, most of the gold and silver beings, when summoned, unanimously chose to beat up Chen Luo first.

Unless there is an emergency, I will help Chen Luo fight the enemy first.

Chen Luo was extremely familiar with this routine.

There's really nothing new about it.

"Hmm?" Euthinus felt a little strange about the actions of his other two selves.

Although I really wanted to beat Chen Luo up, there was no need to be in such a hurry.

"Chen Luo, I'll give you 10 seconds to think it over. If you don't come over here and let me punch you, I'll tell her this." The golden Othinus was not surprised by Chen Luo's dodge, and was even somewhat intrigued.

"???" Chen Luo looked at the finger of the golden Othinus pointing at the head of the silver Othinus with some astonishment.

It's obvious that the "golden Othinus" refers to "this," which, in Chen Luo's eyes as someone in the know, should be Othinus's own knowledge, right?

Regardless of how the other party found out about this, if they were to inform Othinus, the original being, then things would become quite serious.
