The Divine Ax Rita - it is the one-handed giant ax that looks like it is forged from gold that is carried on Escanor's shoulder - this is the artifact presented to Escanor by King Leonis.

 There are two main effects.

 Filling and radiating.

 Charge energy into the axe, store it, and then emit it when needed.

 In addition, this giant ax is very heavy.

 In the original work, Garan in the Ten Commandments struck Escanor with a shovel, and the aftermath flattened two mountains dozens of kilometers apart from each other.

 But such power cannot take down Rita.

 This shows the weight of this artifact.

 The reason why Escanor is equipped with such an artifact is related to his own situation.

 The magic "sun" is not an ordinary person's power.

It originated from one of the four strongest angels of the goddess tribe. It was a favor given by the Supreme God to the strongest warrior under his command. In the end, due to a series of reasons, he left the original host and chose Escanor.

But as a human, Escanor cannot withstand the magic power of the sun like his original owner. As the sun rises and approaches noon, the magic power that has doubled will overflow from the body.

 The sun’s scorching magic will also evaporate the surrounding area.

In order to avoid becoming a humanoid natural disaster, Escanor usually tries his best to suppress the magic power and keep it in a quiet state, and then cooperates with the axe, Rita, to absorb it, so that it barely causes disaster.

 But there are limits to Rita's absorption.

 Once Escanor actively releases magic or the time reaches noon, Rita cannot fully absorb it. Her companions need to use mental skills or magic to force him to take a nap in order to survive.

 At this moment, the time is close to noon.

 In order to fight Lancenot, Escanor also released a large amount of magic power, causing the magic power to overflow and become completely uncontrollable.

  Rita was unable to fully absorb it, so she could only wait for time to pass and the sun's magic power to fall silent.

 But when it came to Rita's characteristics, Gu Qing had a flash of inspiration, and an idea came to his mind.

He turned his eyes and found the Corrupted Sword scattered on the ground. He pointed at it and said, "This sword has a strong devouring ability. Can you try it with this sword?"

 “This sword...”

Escanor looked in the direction and remembered Lancelot's move of swallowing his own magic power and then doubling his counterattack. He suddenly realized, "So that's it, that move is the ability of the sword!"

 Speaking, he walked towards the sword, ready to pick it up.

"……don't want!"

Morgan, who was stunned by Gu Qing's suggestion, came to his senses and shouted to stop him.

 But it’s too late.

 Escanor has already picked up the sword, and hundreds of mixed energy auras are released from the sword, shrouding him like chaos.

 “It’s over!”

The girl collapsed a little and said in disbelief: "Why did you let Escanor get that sword? You clearly know that the sword will devour people's hearts and make people lose their moral values ​​and degenerate into demons. Why do you still do it?"

Let him get the sword!?"

 One Lancelot is so troublesome, and then there is a more powerful Escanor... Once he uses the power of the sword and transforms into a demon, I am afraid he will become a true heavenly father.

 “Don’t worry, Escanor won’t be swallowed.”

Gu Qing patted his chest and promised.

 But the girl did not get any relief and still collapsed, "Lancelot was as confident as you at that time!"

 “Escano is not Lancelot!”

 “But they...”

 “Excuse me!”

Escano was carrying Rita in one hand and holding the Sword of Corruption in the other, and said proudly: "Although I don't know what the situation is, it's just a sword that wants to devour my mind. This is too arrogant."

 “Are you okay?”

 Morgan's eyes widened.

 “Why should something happen?”

The restless magic power in Escanor's body has calmed down, and his body is no longer emitting high temperatures. "Although this sword contains countless powerful energies, compared to me, it's just a drop in the bucket."

"I see."

 Morgan understood a little bit.

 Mixed energy will have an impact on all aspects of life due to attributes, characteristics and other reasons. If these problems cannot be solved well, changes will occur in the mind and body.

 But if it is just mixed and not strong enough, the impact will be extremely limited - just like sulfuric acid. Everyone knows the corrosiveness of sulfuric acid. If the amount is enough, it can even corrode metal.

 But if it is not enough, it will not even corrode the skin.

This is also the reason why so many warriors were confident that they could control this sword at the beginning and did not degenerate into demon gods at the beginning.

 Because, the strength of the Corrupted Sword at the beginning was not enough to affect those brave men who were famous.

 But as the number of demon gods killed by the brave men increased, the power of the sword devoured became stronger, and they were gradually affected, and then degenerated into demon gods.

Morgan did not know Escanor's solar properties, but only judged his strength from the battle with Lancelot - he was not strong enough to ignore the influence of the Corrupted Sword.

 Unexpectedly, I was slapped in the face.

“I underestimated you.”

Morgan took a deep look at Escanor, and then slowly exhaled: "Even so, if you use this sword to kill the devil, sooner or later you will become like Lancelot."

 “If you say so, I’m going to give it a try.”

  Escanor became interested instead.

 “This kind of thing is no joke.”

The girl was admonishing from the side, but the Sun Knight didn't listen at all. He waved his sword twice and muttered, "In terms of weight, it's far worse than Rita."

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Morgan took a deep breath and turned to look at Gu Qing, "You called him here, you can handle it yourself!"

 “Let him try it, I think it’s fun.”

Gu Qing rubbed his chin and smiled teasingly.

But this is not a joke, but a true thought.

Of course Gu Qing doesn’t think Escanor can always ignore the negative impact of the Corrupted Sword. But even if it is affected, what if he degenerates into a demon?

 He is still his own puppet.

 Whether they are good or evil, whether they are humans or other creatures without human moral management, they cannot disobey themselves with their own will.

In order to allow the puppet to exert its power to the greatest extent, Gu Qing did not interfere too much, but that does not mean that there is nothing. Even if Escanor becomes the devil, he can still live in the original way.

 Leave it to Hawke to avoid the side effects of the sword...

That was Gu Qing’s idea of ​​entering into a blind spot in his mind.

"Anyway, let's go back to the Holy Tower first!" Gu Qing suggested: "Whether it is used by Hawke or Escanor, the lives of all the demon gods on this planet must be used to commemorate the enhancement. First, go to the Supreme Mage to ask for it.

Let’s talk about a map of the Demon God’s location.”

 “Well, let’s go back first!”

 Morgan nodded in agreement.

Agamotto was the first person to control the Time Stone, and also the first person to develop visual magic such as spiritual vision and the third eye, which allowed him to peer into the past, present and future.

  Nicknamed "The Omniscient Eye".
