Technically its a total of at least 10 skills, items and prequisites fused together as one. Remember how he got those 3 skills.

PS: Easy reference is at Chapter 141, where Tombgrave's Right required 2 specific skills, an item, and a skill that fuses them together. That alone is 3 skills and 1 item needed to create another skill.

Its not just three skills, but 3 FUSED (needed at least 2 skills and plenty of materials or prequisites) and HIGH-RANKING skills (each ranking at least A or above), not to mention that the skill he got right now belonged to a HIGHER BEING in the upper floors.

Tombgrave is indeed a deity of higher power (if not, its at least a being from the higher floors). Reference shown in Chapter 141 when he used White Beast as one of its fusion materials and not as a catalyst.

These Taquila witches have good vision, not only they were flexible in thought to be willing to accept their defeat and correct their mistakes, they're also not conceited by victory. Knowing the MC's mortality, it became their responsibility to pass on his legacy when time comes, for the sake of humanity's future.

She has a better eye for character than her elder sister for starters.

Oh, I actually like Simon this way, using Hector's anger to his own advantage~ He learned a thing or two from Serne, that's for sure.

Well, Jun Fan (I intentionally use this name) did have achievements in "slaying his own kind" as he once stated in the banquet. Even without Master Gu saying it himself, others would have advised for it. The only difference is that Master Gu has the next most utmost authority, so nobody, not even the empress' entrusted advisors (if she has any) can say no to his suggestion, especially when it made more sense.

Note that he'll only keep alive those who still have usable value, Mingkong was also half-included in it.

You can never have enough Fortune Value, Master Gu cannot generate it, so he'll need GENERATORS. Get me?

This entire work was made to bitchslap plot armor across its face over and over again. Of course our MC Master Gu is the best representative to act so accordingly.

And Master Gu has more than one way to make her spill the beans, regardless of her pitiful will.

Unlike the other group.

What a sore loser baby that Hector is.

Or, if you think about the course of possible events in the future... Once the swordsman is dead, that sword will naturally jump into another physically potential but weak-willed host to possess - and she's very likely to be that new host. By then, her soul will not be eaten by the sword, but became owned by the god instead. In this manner, the god will win not only a human body as a vassal, but also a powerful relic he can have perfect control of.

What MC did for her is giving her a turnback road. As long as she knows what she has and wants to do, its nobody's right to decide or judge her for it - not even the gods or the MC.

Now I think about it, that "sketchy" god was actually wise if you think about "what happens next" rather than "why did he do this". Let's say if her revenge is done and that swordsman is dead, then the sword will naturally pick another physically potential but weak-willed host to possess and continue the rampage. Without a proper blessing, its fairly easy to say that she will be the next obvious target and her soul will be eaten. By then, can you even blame that god for asking for this trade?

To be fair, they already explained that the MC can teleport, even with just by a temporary contract.

In short, an ANTI-HERO. A hero that does bad things for the sake of the good.

Yes, which I wrote "in this world" where he's a young man. Doesn't matter if he has the soul of a 40+ yo man, the fact he loves adult, mature women at his current age already easily classify him as a gerontophile.

That's sarcasm indeed, as expected of Master Gu.

At least she's honest, that's a far less headache than the Ancestral Humanity Saintess for starters.
