Chapter 36: Chapter 36
Chapter 36: Put It On, Wife!
Accompanied by 【LaceSupremacy】’s passionate proclamation, the entire library area erupted into an earth-shaking cheer.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”
“We did it! The ultimate weapon is completed!”
“Above Myth! I saw it! The system prompt says it’s above Myth! Our wife is going to wear underwear that transcends Myth!”
“Too insane! We, the 【Mophis Wife Knights】, are the number one guild in the world! No rebuttals accepted!”
Tens of thousands of players’ emotions were completely ignited at this moment.
They personally witnessed the birth of a miracle.
From the release of the quest “The Goddess’s Sanctuary” to transforming the library into a steel fortress.
From the establishment of the “Dragon Calamity Countermeasure” series to gathering the power of the entire server, collecting legendary materials, and forging equipment that surpassed Myth.
All of this happened within only a dozen hours.
This experience of everyone uniting, burning themselves out toward one single goal, gave each and every one of them an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and pride.
Now, all preparations were complete.
Only the final, most critical step remained.
——To deliver this “ultimate weapon” into the hands of their goddess.
And to have her wear it.
【LaceSupremacy】held the heavy 【Sacred Casket】, and under the gaze of all, stepped down from the rooftop one step at a time, arriving before the library’s main entrance, where the offering platform had long since been cleared.
She took a deep breath and gently placed the box upon the stone platform.
【System Prompt: You are performing an ‘Offering.’ This offering comes with a special request—‘We earnestly beg Miss Mophis to accept the knights’ protection, to wear this ‘shield,’ in order to resist the impending calamity.’ Confirm?】
【LaceSupremacy】clicked without the slightest hesitation.
In the next second, the 【Sacred Casket】, under everyone’s gaze, transformed into a golden radiance more dazzling than any before and instantly vanished from sight.
At the same time, above the library, the giant light screen of 【Miss Mophis’s Gift Approval List】 once again changed.
A brand new line of text, flashing with blinding golden light, appeared in the 【Pending Approval】 list.
【Gift: ‘Compassion of the Seraph’ Underwear Set x1 (Above Myth)】
【Description: This is the shield of protection forged from the knights’ flesh and soul. May it bring you victory and glory.】
【Offering Party: All Members of the Mophis Wife Knights】
【Additional Request: We beg you, wear it!】 ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveIꜰire.net
When they saw the content on the light screen, every player’s heart leapt into their throat.
“It’s here, it’s here! The final step!”
“Will wife accept it? She has to, right? We put our lives on the line to make this!”
“Look! The countdown! There’s one hour left!”
Every gaze was fixed on that light screen and on the blood-red countdown timer that ticked relentlessly in the upper right corner of the game interface.
Library, second-floor reading room.
Mophis was pacing anxiously back and forth.
She heard the cheers outside loud and clear.
The players’ terrifying drive left her in awe.
Her mood now was extremely complicated.
On one hand, looking at the library that had been transformed into a super fortress, she indeed felt a sense of unprecedented security.
On the other hand, the thought that this sense of security came at the “cost” of her possibly having to wear a pair of shame-inducing underwear crafted meticulously by LSPs, named “Compassion of the Seraph,” made her feel dizzy.
At that moment, a golden flash appeared.
The ornate, familiar 【Sacred Casket】 appeared out of thin air on her dressing table.
Mophis’s heart skipped a beat.
What was destined to come had arrived after all.
She dawdled, shuffling step by step toward the dressing table.
She didn’t even dare open the box directly, instead first pulling up her “Gift Approval List.”
As expected, that line of golden text was lying there quietly, awaiting her “verdict.”
“Compassion of the Seraph…”
“Additional Request: We beg you, wear it!”
Mophis looked at that last line, her cheeks burning as though on fire.
They had even written such a demand openly in the “Additional Request.”
This wasn’t a hint anymore—this was blatant! This was forcing her hand!
The thought flashed through her mind for only 0.1 seconds before she immediately denied it herself.
With what was she going to fight against the Dragon King?
With her not-even-level-40 fragile body?
Or with her silver tongue, trying to reason with a greedy dragon?
She had no doubt that if she dared click 【Reject】, in the very next second the library would be blasted into smoking ruins by the Dragon King’s breath.
So, she had no choice.
Mophis exhaled deeply, as though trying to blow out all the shame and helplessness in her heart.
Then, she extended her trembling finger and resolutely clicked 【Accept】 on the virtual light screen.
【Ding! You have accepted the offering ‘Compassion of the Seraph’!】
The light screen vanished.
Mophis’s gaze fell upon the 【Sacred Casket】.
She hesitated a few seconds before finally extending her hand and slowly opening the lid.
A soft, holy golden radiance spread out from the box, instantly illuminating the entire room.
Mophis squinted instinctively.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw what lay inside.
It was a set of… indescribably beautiful creation.
White as light, golden threads like lightning, crimson gems like hearts, wings like dreams.
It lay quietly against the velvet lining, not as clothing but as a divine blessing descending from the heavens.
As a die-hard straight man in her previous life, she never had much concept of women’s clothing.
But even she had to admit at this moment—this thing… was beautiful.
Beautiful beyond the boundaries of gender, beautiful to the point where even she, the “intended wearer,” felt unworthy of it.
She unconsciously reached out and brushed her fingers across the delicate wings.
The touch was softer and lighter than 【Cloud Cotton】, as though caressing a real, warm cloud.
At that instant, a massive attribute panel shimmering with rainbow light unfolded before her eyes.
【Compassion of the Seraph (Underwear Set) (Above Myth)】
When Mophis read word for word through the absurdly long, ridiculously overpowered attribute description, she fell into prolonged silence.
【Absolute Protection】… Summons a Seraph phantom, blocks fatal damage, and reflects it back.
【Holy Light Affinity】… Healing effects doubled, with an innate aura of mental deterrence.
【Goddess’s Compassion】… Charisma elevated to the “Concept Level,” capable of “redeeming” enemies.
This… this was underwear?
This was clearly a moving, humanoid, self-propelled god-tier cheat!
Wearing this, not to mention fighting the Dragon King—even going solo against a god, she felt she might have a chance.
“These maniacs… they… for me…”
Mophis looked at the “ultimate weapon” in her hands, then thought of the tens of thousands of players outside who had burnt themselves out forging it and were now waiting eagerly. A ridiculous yet undeniable emotion surged in her chest.
They were perverted, they were LSPs, their thought process abnormal.
But their “kindness” toward her… was real.
It was real, built upon countless hours, money, effort, and sweat. Heavy, genuine, with not a shred of falsity.
She sighed again, but this time the sound carried less helplessness and more… resignation.
What else could she do?
She had no choice but to wear it.
She lifted the feather-light underwear and held it before herself.
The size… once again perfect, down to the millimeter, as though measured with the most precise instruments.
Just thinking of that damned “bust-hip analysis post,” Mophis’s face flushed crimson all over.
“Perverts! Still just a bunch of dead perverts!”
She cursed in shame and anger under her breath, then quickly changed out of her clothes.
When the radiant, winged underwear truly pressed against her skin—
Mophis felt her body infused with a warmth both powerful and protective.
A kind of unprecedented strength, brimming with security.
She walked to the mirror of her dressing table and looked at her reflection.
The girl in the mirror still bore the same slender frame. But her body was now enveloped in a faint golden glow, her skin illuminated like the finest white jade.
As she moved slightly, the radiance rippled outward like water.
The small wings at her back also fluttered gently.
Mophis covered her face.
Could she really wear this outside in front of people?
Just as her inner turmoil raged—
A dragon’s roar, clearer and louder than any before, rang out from outside!
The entire library fortress shook violently!
Then, a massive shadow, blotting out all light, enveloped the entire library.
Mophis’s head snapped up toward the window.
Through the gaps in the mithril lattice, she saw a pair of eyes—massive, molten gold.
Those eyes brimmed with greed, brutality, and… a trace of curiosity.
