Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 978 - 976: God-killing Shuttle
A support class divine tool! However, the rarity of this item definitely surpasses any of the divine tool auction items that have appeared before.
It prevents divine consciousness from probing and can replicate everything about the target except for their combat power. To conceal one's identity, it's simply the divine tool among divine tools! With it, even in the presence of Top-level Emperors, one would not be detected as out of the ordinary.
Of course, this thing is not absolute either, at least the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox did not say that it can prevent the probing of Luck. Otherwise, this item would probably not have fallen into the hands of the Ancestral Court.
"The starting bid is three thousand Purple Crystal Coins, with each increment not less than one hundred Purple Crystal Coins, the bidding starts now," declared the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, announcing the start of the bidding for this penultimate auction item.
To be honest, Tang San was somewhat tempted by this auction item. With this mask coupled with his own capabilities, he could really impersonate anyone he wished. Had it been before, when he hadn't broken through to Rank 10, this would have been the divine tool among divine tools for him.
But now that his strength has grown, the role of the Phantom God mask had become much less significant. Besides, winning such a divine tool in a public auction, where everyone knows it ended up in his hands, would be problematic in the future. So there was no need for it.
The bidding for this item was not very heated, and the price was not rising quickly.
After all, even though the Phantom God mask is good, it doesn't change the battle for the title of Emperor. A divine tool that can't directly increase combat power isn't of much use.
What surprised Tang San was that VIP Room Number Eleven made a bid.
"Three thousand eight hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room Number Eleven," surpassing the previous few bids at three thousand eight hundred Purple Crystal Coins.
The bidding fell into a brief lull; this item clearly didn't have much enthusiasm attached to it.
Yet, at this moment, Tang San's heart was filled with warmth.
Number Eleven was the very VIP room where Pretty Girl was! What use would Pretty Girl have for this item? It was clearly being bid on for his sake.
She was worried about him not being able to conceal his identity well in the competition, and seeing that this divine tool was very suitable for him, she decisively made a bid. One should note that in the previous auctions, VIP Room Number Eleven hadn't participated much, with the most precious item they acquired being the Shadow Demon Sword, which was only due to Tang San's own price increase.
And for his sake, she was willing to purchase a divine tool at a high price. How could Tang San not be moved?
"Three thousand nine hundred Purple Crystal Coins, VIP Room Number Five."
The auction continued.
But Pretty Girl clearly hadn't given up and resolutely raised the price to four thousand Purple Crystal Coins.
There were a few sporadic competitors, but Pretty Girl's bidding was very determined. In the end, VIP Room Number Eleven secured the Phantom God mask for four thousand eight hundred Purple Crystal Coins.
Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox obviously felt the first item didn't generate much excitement. With an undiminished smile, he said, "It seems everyone doesn't have much thought about concealing themselves. But the ability to block divine consciousness is very useful. Now that it has an owner, I won't say more. Please present the second auction item, which I believe will interest many more bidders."
This time the tray was nearly the same size as the previous one. On it lay an item shaped like a shuttle.
The item was a dark gold color with faint patterns, about one foot in length, but looking at it, it didn't seem to have any magical aspects.
"God-killing Shuttle, a name I believe should not be unfamiliar to everyone here," said the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox with just one sentence, causing a stir in the audience.
Sitting in VIP Room No.8, Tang San was a bit confused. He had never heard the name God-killing Shuttle before.
He turned his head to the Great Elder, "What is the God-killing Shuttle? Why haven't I heard of it?"
The Great Elder was stunned, "God-killing Shuttle, God-killing Shuttle, oh patriarch, how could you possibly have never heard of it? It's heavily documented in the history of the Ancestral Court."

Tang San frowned and said, "I can't quite remember, please tell me about it."
The Great Elder's expression became clearly excited, "The God-killing Shuttle, it's a mighty weapon. It was once acclaimed as the strongest divine tool. It's a single-use divine tool. Exactly how it was made is already a mystery. But, when deployed, it can instantly unleash an attack as powerful as a Top-level Emperor's full force and comes with incredibly strong penetrative power. About four thousand years ago, the God-killing Shuttle made an appearance. It directly killed an Emperor, and it was used by someone who was not even king-class. It's said to have the capacity to pierce through any object. No defense can stop the destruction of the God-killing Shuttle. It has also made appearances in the more distant past, with legends claiming that a Top-level powerful being once used it and directly killed three giant dragons. Thus, it's also nicknamed the Dragon-slaying shuttle. It is recorded in the histories of all major races, and it is a mandatory subject in our racial studies. You shouldn't forget it!"
"How many God-killing Shuttles are there in total?" Tang San felt somewhat strange by now, it sounded a lot like a hidden weapon! A powerful hidden weapon?
The Great Elder shook his head, "No one knows. We all thought they had been lost long ago, but unexpectedly, there is still a God-killing Shuttle that appeared in today's auction - truly inconceivable."
On the auction stand, Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox continued, "The God-killing Shuttle, a name familiar to all. In the history of the Continent, every time it appeared, it brought unparalleled destruction. But there is some history you might not know, for instance, the maker of the God-killing Shuttle."
"The maker of the God-killing Shuttle in the legends doesn't belong to our world but is an Alien, and some legends suggest humans. They are the ancestors of humans. Humans are feeble, but they have clever wits and strong creativity. Maybe it all came from that once Alien. As to whether the God-killing Shuttle was really made by an Alien, we do not know, but what's for sure is that the first time it was used, killing three members of the Dragon Clan, a Human was the wielder."
"The internal structure of the God-killing Shuttle is extremely intricate, to the point that it's very hard to replicate even with divine consciousness. The second appearance of the God-killing Shuttle killed an Emperor, which is closer to our time, but it was still thousands of years ago. The exact being who deployed the God-killing Shuttle remains unknown and unaccountable. However, after that incident, the Ancestral Court mobilized all races of the Continent to search for any trace of the God-killing Shuttle, as well as its user. In the end, this third God-killing Shuttle was obtained, but the user was never identified. The reason we can affirm this to be the true God-killing Shuttle is that we once used divine consciousness to meticulously detect its energy fluctuations; the energy contained within is so strong that I can say, among the current known Emperors, less than half could survive its attack."
"You must be asking why such a terrifying divine tool would appear in an auction. Then, I must regretfully inform you that this God-killing Shuttle is somewhat damaged. When our ancestor Emperors probed it, their divine consciousness seemed to have triggered an internal mechanism, rendering this God-killing Shuttle unable to be actuated again. The only discernible fact is it still contains immense and terrifying energy. Bringing it to this auction is also in hopes that the being who acquires it will be able to conduct in-depth research. If it can be restored to its power, the Ancestral Court is willing to buy it back at ten times the price."
Damaged? After all that, it turns out to be a defective God-killing Shuttle.
