Online Game: I Started with Max Charisma and Caught the Goddess's Eye

After entering Red Maple Academy, Luca headed towards the Celestial Pool Secret Realm.

"Are you sure the Solar Divine Spear will be useful?" he silently inquired of Jormungandr.

The reason Luca rushed back to Red Maple Academy wasn't to leave Southwind City with others, but because Jormungandr had suddenly told him that the spear in the Celestial Pool Secret Realm could be used against Pandora.

Regardless of whether what this guy said was true or not, Luca felt it necessary to check it out. The golden spear was unlike any weapon he had seen before. Even if it couldn't handle Pandora, he still wanted to take it with him if possible.

"Of course it's true. I have no reason to lie to you; that weapon has quite a remarkable origin," Jormungandr replied, slightly annoyed by the doubt. After a moment of reflection, she continued, "When I was in the Abyssal Demon Realm, I heard rumors about it.

"If you can unleash its power, to put it bluntly, even at my peak, I wouldn't be able to survive against it."

Her tone was very certain, which surprised Luca. It's worth noting that Jormungandr was one of the seven strongest King-level monsters in the Abyssal Demon Realm, her true strength reaching the Transcendent level, even surpassing what she was in her previous life.

The fact that she said this indicated just how extraordinary that weapon was.

"What exactly is the origin of that spear in the Celestial Pool Secret Realm?" His curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but ask.

Jormungandr shook her head slightly. "The problem is that I don't know the specifics. This item has existed for far too long, and even the records in the Abyssal Demon Realm don't provide much clarity. However, if I'm guessing correctly…"

She paused, her expression becoming serious. "That spear may be an artifact!"

Hearing this, Luca felt a jolt of shock, and he even stopped in his tracks.

"Artifact? You're not joking with me, are you…" he murmured.

In the Eternal Continent, the only thing that could be called an artifact was a weapon used by the gods!

Such equipment was not only rare to see; even after the game descended in his previous life, it remained merely a legend!

In the Eternal World, before reaching level 100, practitioners were categorized by low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier to distinguish their power levels. Once a practitioner reached level 100, they entered a new phase of power known as the Transcendent tier.

The Transcendent tier is a general term that further divides into 110-level Annihilation tier, 120-level Calamity tier, and 130-level Cataclysm tier. In his previous life, Luca was a Calamity-tier Transcendent One, having reached level 127.

Most King-level monsters, including Jormungandr, were categorized as Calamity tier. It was speculated that practitioners who reached Calamity tier could break through Transcendent and enter a new stage.

Luca had never encountered this stage in his previous life, so he wasn't entirely sure. However, he once heard a seasoned Transcendent from the Eternal World mention that after the Transcendent tier, it was likely the "Divine tier"!

This was the same realm that Sophia reached when she froze the nodes between the two worlds—a true god who mastered the powers of the laws!

In his previous life, Luca had taken such things as mere curiosities and hadn't given them much thought.

After all, the native inhabitants of the Eternal Continent had never seen any gods. The foreign players like him were even less likely to believe it.

Now, Jormungandr was telling him that the spear in the Celestial Pool Secret Realm was actually an artifact!

This left Luca feeling as if he were in a dream.

Jormungandr sneered, "What, are you scared now? If I told you that Pandora went to all that trouble to bring the Kraken out of the Sea of Desire just to break through to Transcendent and become a god, would you be so frightened that you'd wet your pants?"

Ignoring her taunts, Luca frowned and said, "Are you suggesting that the commotion Pandora caused in Southwind City is all to break through to Transcendent?"

"Why else?" Jormungandr laughed. "For beings like us who have already reached the Calamity tier, breaking through to Transcendent is a dream we long to fulfill.

"We came out of the Abyssal Demon Realm precisely because this world is better suited for our breakthroughs. After all, humans are the best nourishment in this world."

"What's the result? You're still a prisoner under my control as a human," Luca remarked with a chuckle, unable to stand her arrogant demeanor.

"You... you!" Jormungandr's face flushed with anger. She felt like crawling out of the contract space just to bite this guy. This human really had a knack for hitting the sore spots!

Frustrated, Jormungandr chose not to respond and directly blocked her Perception.

Luca's smile faded, replaced by a look of concern.

So that's how it is. No wonder these creatures were so eager to claw their way out of the Abyssal Demon Realm.

Although he didn't know exactly what Pandora planned, if her scheme succeeded, the Eternal World might truly become a hell, and even his reality wouldn't be safe.

With that thought, Luca quickened his pace towards the Celestial Pool Secret Realm.

If what Jormungandr said was true, the Solar Divine Spear was indeed a legendary artifact.

It might just be Southwind City's only hope…

…

Meanwhile, a battle had already erupted in Southwind City.

Various skills shot into the sky, their colors illuminating the darkness.

Not just Orf and Bronte; other powerful figures in Southwind City had also joined the fray.

Everyone knew that this was a life-and-death moment for Southwind City. While some ran away, others stood their ground!

In the sky above, Pandora hovered in mid-air.

Beneath her, a river of dark, tainted water filled with desire and filth had converged into a raging torrent.

Under the cover of night, a silver light shot up into the sky!

A sharp sword aura sliced through the darkness, striking fiercely at the woman shrouded in black veils above.

However, in the face of Bronte's formidable sword strike, the woman didn't even spare a glance.

As the sword light drew within ten meters of her, the black water on the ground suddenly erupted, forming a barrier in mid-air.

The sword aura collided with it, shattering into a flurry of sparks, but it merely caused the black water barrier to ripple slightly.

At the same time, Medel, engulfed in flames, charged forward with unmatched momentum, crashing into the black water barrier.

"Boom!" The sound roared as blazing flames swept over, nearly engulfing Pandora in an instant.

Yet when the flames receded, Pandora remained unscathed, not even moving a muscle.

This display of power left everyone feeling suffocated.

The gap in strength was simply too vast!

Holding his longsword, Bronte gritted his teeth. "This isn't working; we need to think of another way!"

"Don't waste your energy; just hold her off and let the others escape Southwind City first," Orf said more rationally. Magic runes swirled around him, his robe billowing without wind, and peculiar patterns appeared in his eyes as he raised his hand toward Pandora.

In the next moment, countless purple lightning bolts transformed into a long spear, shooting toward Pandora in the blink of an eye, leaving no time for anyone to react.

At this moment, Pandora finally lifted her gaze to the group.

If one looked closely, they would see that the woman had two pupils in her eyes, an eerie and unsettling sight.

"Constrain!" she uttered, without any other action, her red lips parting just enough to speak a single word.

But just as her voice fell, the lightning spear, swift as thunder, abruptly halted in mid-air, bound by dark chains. It was less than a meter from Pandora, yet it couldn't move forward an inch.

Her gaze flickered, and the black chains tightened suddenly.

The terrifying lightning spear, formed from Superclass magic runes, exploded!

Even the strongest among them, Orf, found it nearly impossible to inflict any damage on her!

Moreover, Pandora was not even in her peak state at the moment!

The terrifying power of a King-level monster was on full display!

However, this was a critical moment for everyone to retreat; despite knowing the monster's formidable nature, they couldn't afford to back down!

Still, the group's attacks were not without effect.

The Demon Box in Pandora's hand trembled.

The blood-red formation that enveloped Southwind City in the sky clearly slowed its operation.

"Since you all want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish," Pandora said with a teasing arch of her brow, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

She raised her pale, jade-like hand, and the black water beneath her surged and roared, instantly transforming into a tsunami that rose thousands of meters into the sky, crashing down with unparalleled force as if it were divine punishment, heading straight for Orf and the others!

"Boom!!!"

The torrent of black water fell, and it felt as though the entire Tianchi Mountain was crying out in anguish!

…

Meanwhile, above in the sky, inside a luxurious airship.

Finn lounged on a soft couch, sipping red wine.

In the expansive living room before him sat a massive magical crystal ball.

The crystal ball displayed the ongoing battle in Southwind City.

The Superclass powerhouse in a red robe and demonic mask stood respectfully by his side.

He spoke, "Young Master Finn, Orf and the others won't be so easily dealt with. Do you need me to assist them?"

Finn merely shook his head slightly. "No need to worry about him. If they can't handle a few Superclass practitioners, then they're severely underestimating this woman. I have something else for you to do."

The masked warrior listened attentively.

Finn set down his wine glass and pointed toward the direction where Red Maple Academy's group had departed. His crimson eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "According to Harvis, there's a boy named Luca among them who took the Undead Coffin from Pure River Town.

"That item is quite important to Pandora. Go retrieve it."

After a pause, he added, "Oh, and make sure to bring back Fratis as well."

The masked warrior bowed, acknowledging his orders. "Understood, my lord."

Finn nodded slightly, and the masked figure transformed into a cloud of blood mist, dissipating in the hall.

As he gazed at the crystal ball, playing with the blood-red wine glass in his hand, a crimson glint flickered in his eyes. "As promised, I'll help you remove obstacles. After that, you'll help me obtain that item from the Celestial Pool Secret Realm. I hope you won't disappoint me…"
