Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

David and Liya exchanged a glance, each seeing vigilance and curiosity in the other’s eyes.

They cautiously approached the Ancient God’s left hand, trying to discover its origin and purpose.

However, the moment David reached out to touch the hand, a powerful echo of memories suddenly surged into his mind.

It was as if he saw an ancient and glorious era and the scenes of the Star Pupil race’s ancestors fighting side by side with the Ancient Gods.

And the owner of that Ancient God’s left hand turned out to be the fallen form of the first Star Pupil chieftain!

David was dazed by the sudden memory impact, as if he was immersed in a world both ancient and mysterious.

There, he saw the ancestors of the Star Pupil race and the Ancient Gods jointly defending the peace and tranquility of the cosmos.

Yet, with the passage of time and the allure of power, some Ancient Gods began to fall, becoming threats to the cosmos.

The first Star Pupil chieftain, to prevent these fallen Ancient Gods, sacrificed himself, sealing his power together with an Ancient God’s left hand.

That left hand is the very one they are now seeing.

The echo of memories gradually dissipated, and David returned to the reality around him.

He looked at the Ancient God’s left hand, eyes shining with complex emotions.

He was moved by the courage and sacrifice of the first Star Pupil chieftain, yet worried about the evil power contained within the left hand.

“David, what did you see?” Liya asked with concern.

David told Liya about the memory echo he just experienced.

Upon hearing it, Liya also showed a solemn expression.

“This left hand… holds such a terrifying secret. We must handle it carefully.”

However, just as they were about to leave, the Ancient God’s left hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

An incomplete skill—”Grip of Entropy Destruction” surged into David’s mind.

This is a power that can devour all vitality and life, but at the cost of irreversible corruption marks appearing on the user’s right hand.

David felt this power, overwhelmed by shock and conflict within.

He was both excited by acquiring such a powerful skill and worried about the dreadful cost.

He looked at his right hand and indeed found that a slight corruption mark was spreading.

“David, you…” Liya looked at him with concern.

David took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

“I’m fine, Liya. This skill… might prove useful in future battles.”

Just then, Liliana suddenly appeared.

Seeing the Ancient God’s left hand and the corruption marks on David’s hand, she immediately understood what had happened.

“David, how could you touch this evil hand! It will bring disaster to the Holy Hall!”

“Liliana, we just wanted to learn more about it,” David explained.

However, Liliana resolutely shook her head.

“No, this left hand must be destroyed. The evil power it contains is too strong, and if it gets out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Liya showed a hesitant expression upon hearing this.

She sensed a subtle kindred resonance between the left hand and the Tree of Life, which made her feel both familiar and estranged.

She didn’t know if this meant the left hand might have a chance of redemption, but she also didn’t want to destroy it lightly.

“Liliana, I think we should reconsider.” Liya said, “Perhaps this left hand has other uses.”

Upon listening to this, Liliana became furious.

“Liya, how can you say that! Have you forgotten the mission of our Holy Hall? We exist to protect the peace and tranquility of the cosmos! This left hand will only bring disaster and destruction!”

Seeing this, David quickly intervened to smooth things over.

“Everyone, calm down. We do need to handle this left hand cautiously, but we can’t make hasty decisions either. We can seal it first and then slowly seek solutions.”

Eventually, persuaded by David, they agreed to seal the Ancient God’s left hand for now.

They found some special materials, crafted a sturdy sealing container, and carefully placed the left hand inside.

Then, they took the container back to the Holy Hall, preparing for further research on its origins and uses.

However, this decision did not quell the team’s internal dissension.

Liliana firmly believed that the left hand must be destroyed, while Liya harbored an inexplicable expectation and sympathy for it.

Their disagreement made the team’s atmosphere somewhat tense and left David with a headache.

In the following days, David and Liya worked harder to study the Ancient God’s left hand.

They perused a vast amount of ancient books and documents, attempting to find more information about it.

But the origins and uses of this left hand seemed shrouded in a mist, preventing them from seeing the truth clearly.

Meanwhile, the Holy Hall also enhanced the monitoring and defense of the Abyssal Rift.

They knew that behind this rift might lurk even greater threats and dangers.

Only by being fully prepared can they handle potential challenges in the future.

During this process, David also began to try mastering and using the skill “Grip of Entropy Destruction.”

He cautiously controlled his power to prevent further spread of corruption marks on his right hand.

However, this skill’s power was too strong and bizarre, making it perpetually elusive to his control.

Whenever night fell silently, David would quietly look at his right hand, filled with helplessness and worry.
