Chapter 386: Favored of the Outer God
[You activated Special Creation · Ancient God Ritual]
[EX051, please note, you have attracted the gaze of Outer God · ?]
[Spirit increased by 1 point. Current: 34]
Kaito Shirogane watched as the blood on the ground, containing the power of a Demigod-level Mythical Creature, began to emit white light and was absorbed by the altar bit by bit.
He knew his idea was correct.
[Sage] after casting [Dragonization] completely met the requirements to activate this altar for sacrifice.
This special altar had strange symbols carved on it. The content deciphered was roughly [We gods shall cross the long river of time to resurrect on earth].
And the method of resurrection was through live sacrifice.
"Hey, Mercenary Tao, you guy..."
The dying Sage felt his mysterious characteristic weakening. Huge panic arose in his heart, but with his heart cut out and massive blood loss, his consciousness began to fall into darkness.
In the next moment, the cyan-gray giant dragon fell to the ground with a loud crash. The corpse was swallowed by white light.
Every time Sage died, almost at the instant of death, the cognition of [Sage's Death] would be twisted, resulting in his successful resurrection, while the corpse of some unfortunate soul contracted with him would appear at the place of his death.
But this time, this 'cycle' was broken.
Kaito watched as the corpse of the Sequence 4 [Demigod] level Mythical Creature, which possessed High-Rank Mystery in the Lord of Mysteries world power system, did not disappear.
But simultaneously, a new corpse indeed appeared out of thin air, landing on the altar.
That was a woman, her chest cut open, heart fallen aside. She inherited Sage's cause of death through twisted cognition.
Kaito turned his head. In the void, Sage staggered into appearance, his expression paler than ever before.
Kaito raised his hand and pointed a finger. Golden Dodon Ray pierced his shoulder in an instant.
Sage cried out in pain and fell. He showed no tendency to drill into the [Collective Unconscious Sea], merely looking at his hands in disbelief.
"My Mystery... was taken away..."
Kaito's pupils widened. His half-black, half-white long hair still danced without wind.
Indeed, that mysterious [Information] on Sage disappeared completely. Now only that intense and twisted devil power remained.
Kaito lowered his head, seeing the Cursed Seal in his palm also fading slowly.
[You lost Cursed Seal · Strike of Inari]
This was the second time after that Black King · Luffy that Kaito saw an existence capable of directly depriving Reincarnators of abilities or characteristics.
This existence suspected to be [Inari Okami], or rather this [Ancient God Ritual], deprived Sage of the Mystery and power obtained through potions. At the same time, Kaito's Cursed Seal was also stripped away.
[EX051, you completed a live sacrifice. You triggered Special Milestone · Sacrificer (Rare)]
[Sacrificer (Rare): Initiate live sacrifice more than 3 times in any world and be accepted (1/3)]
[EX051, you survived the direct gaze of an Outer God. You triggered Special Milestone · Favored of the Outer God (Unparalleled Rare)]
[Favored of the Outer God (Unparalleled Rare): Unlock more than three Outer God Factions (1/3)]
[Side Mission · Power of God, progress update]
[Power of God: Outer God ? has successfully entered the Ancient God Ritual. Please help Him defeat competitors and descend successfully]
Kaito saw quite a few things appearing on his panel, but he just glanced twice, then turned and jumped off the altar, grabbing Sage and walking quickly towards the outside.
He had no intention of continuing to execute that hidden mission [Power of God] at this moment. Just as His Majesty said, once the ownership of the Power of God was determined, his days wouldn't be so good.
The so-called Favored of the Outer God sounded good, but he wasn't sure if a god 'smuggled' from a small world could confront a Supreme Powerhouse like [Fate Eternal].
Now that he had caused trouble for the opponent, whether the subsequent mission could be completed depended on how other parts developed.
Losing the bonus of that dragon physique, Sage's body became quite fragile. Kaito just squeezed hard, and heard the sound of his bones shattering.
Bang!
Kaito stomped hard under his feet, directly breaking through the quicksand and returning to the surface again.
"Hey, Mr. Sage, you seem much easier to kill now~"
Hum!
Blazing white light flashed abruptly.
Kaito's pupils contracted. His body fell backward instantly. A terrifying beam brushed past his front with a loud boom. Sage's head shattered with a bang.
That beam also hit his body surface simultaneously. But with the blockage of the [Cocoon of Greed] which absorbed various energies, Kaito only felt a huge force hitting his body surface.
He lost balance instantly, falling from the air to the ground.
Sage resurrected again by twisting cognition. Recovering his senses, he immediately jumped into the quicksand.
Kaito was extremely fast, his gaze focusing immediately.
[Gaze of Pride] activated without interval.
Before falling into the quicksand, Sage suffered dozens of attacks. His chest collapsed, and only a strange corpse fell into the quicksand.
Hum!
White light flashed again. Kaito frowned. The distance of this attack was extremely far, even exceeding the coverage range of his [Mantra].
But because Kaito was already prepared, the sand under his feet exploded. His body speed was pushed to a magnitude difficult for the naked eye to capture in an instant, his figure escaping into the wind.
In the next moment, he appeared in the air, grabbing the resurrected Sage again.
Stepping repeatedly in the air with Moonwalk, he moved quickly towards the direction where the attack originated.
He had time to check his Space panel at this moment.
[Based on your Spirit attribute, you obtained the following information]
[You suffered an intense energy attack]
Even the attacker's ID didn't appear. Either the attacker's Spirit attribute was far higher than his, or... the attacker wasn't a Reincarnator.
And in this world, a plot character capable of using such strong energy attacks...
Kaito suddenly had a guess in his heart.
His act of putting the Outer God into the altar probably indeed affected [Fate Eternal]'s current plan.
Bang, bang, bang...
Kaito bounced constantly in the high altitude, traveling extremely fast. Before long, he crossed more than ten kilometers.
At the same time, the range covered by his Mantra finally detected the chaos here.
Several kilometers away, space was completely twisted. A looming huge pitch-black humanoid creature had appeared in the desert.
And in front of him, two powerful martial artists of this world were already scarred.
The domineering fist arts of the [Bang] and [Bomb] brothers seemed like clay oxen entering the sea in front of this pitch-black monster.
Fist force capable of shattering the atmosphere, when struck out, would disappear into other worlds along with the twisted space. But the opponent just raised a hand and could send the two flying thousands of meters.
Bang looked grim and restless. Out of the corner of his eye, he was still looking at that disciple emitting pure white light all over.
"Charanko..."
He didn't know what Charanko encountered, but Charanko's current condition was quite similar to that monster named [Homeless Emperor] back then.
Could it be... that guy appeared again?!
