But at this point, he suddenly stalled, stammering without saying anything.

It wasn't that he couldn't think of what kind of naming was appropriate, but he suddenly realized that the girl in front of him, although in a soul state, wasn't one of those undead who had died a long time ago. Essentially very similar, yet decisively different.

Due to that accident, she had gained a sort of out-of-body soul ability, able to walk in a soul state, essentially becoming a half-baked Half-Demon, a resident caught in the rift between this shore and the other.

The girl wasn't truly dead. If she returned to her body, she could still live again, living as normally as an ordinary person.

So after realizing this, he broke into a cold sweat, unlike the ferocious guy over there with the suspected true Divine Artifact Snake Sword in hand, most of the Divine Artifacts used by him and most Gods were essentially undead adopted by the Gods and given "alias."

They are usually in human form, and when the master calls, they are forcibly transformed into certain objects.

Most become weapons, but they might also become other things, or even transform into phenomena like lightning or flame.

Giving a name is the most crucial step in the Divine Artifact contract. Every time a God names an undead, they learn all this "person's" memories from life. Naming is both a mark of the Divine Artifact's loyalty to the God and a seal to suppress the Divine Artifact's living memories, giving them an "alias" to turn into another person that serves them.

Because many undead cannot accept death, they will question, "Why did I die?" —

Ordinarily they drift without self, only instinct and obsession. But once a God grants them the ability to think clearly, if the soul remembers who they originally were and recalls their life and regrets before death, their negative emotions might devour them in an instant and transform into a powerful Demon.

So this step is crucial...

But the problem is, the girl in front isn't undead, hasn't truly died, and certainly has no pre-death resentment or regret that might transform her into a Demon— she's already become a Demon — hence there's no need for this. If Yato had instinctively given her a name, it would have erased her original memories without any point.

Realizing this in time, Yato exclaimed in relief, biting his teeth, straightforwardly skipping this step, wiping away the enormous spells previously carved in the air, and re-scribing the girl's original name in the void, then shouted:

"Let's go straight! God... Divine Artifact!"

He reached his palm towards the girl's forehead, fingers splayed, and with this final shout, the huge spell in the air rapidly shrunk and flew to the girl, imprinting on her bewildered forehead, then bursting into a dazzling blast of light.

In the next moment, the girl's figure dispersed in the light, then gathered back together, becoming a brilliant meteor streaking across the night sky, finally landing straight into Yato's outstretched hand.

After the blunt special effects light show faded, what appeared in his hand was an exquisite Tachi with blade patterns.

Yato felt somewhat emboldened, and looking across, shouted, "Hang in there! I'm here!"

"Oh."

Gu Mo retracted his focused gaze, superficially responding indifferently, but deep inside, he also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Yato's addition would substantially relieve his pressure; he was already almost unable to hold on, his hand gripping the Ninety-nine Weapons trembling slightly.

Just a small tremor, generally unnoticed, thanks to the basic support of the Swordsmanship Stance skill, plus his muscle memory in this area... After all, not gripping the sword well, shaky hands, was what Master Raiko found most intolerable.

Previously, he was complaining about the poor feel of the folding knife, now he felt it seemed a bit heavy...

Gu Mo was very clear, this was because his energy was on the verge of exhaustion, nearing depletion, another moment and he'd begin to overextend... Concurrently activating "Possession Fusion" and "Ninety-nine Weapons" indeed skyrocketed his combat power, as his Guardian Spirit came online, greatly multiplying his attack and defense stats.

It's exhilarating but frighteningly consuming, only able to persist for about three to five minutes, better than Ultraman, but only slightly.

"Feng Weiyuan China, you who cause chaos here, I, Yato God, descend! Submit to... uh, the might of the Divine Artifact, sweep away filth barriers, slash!"

Yato jumped into battle shouting, chanting what sounded like classy move names, slashing the swarm of black tide around him, looking quite cool, yet no matter the attack range or special effects, it seemed slightly unsophisticated.

Especially when teammates' effects were full brightness and the ultimate move was a regular attack mowing down legions...

But he knew this, so he didn't charge heatedly into the monster heap for battle, instead retreating beside that unknown God, handling the fish that escaped the initial slashing and rushed through.
