Chapter 241: The Evil Deity's Scion
Chapter 241: The Evil Deity's Scion
Divine Realm Fragment.
"There's no going back to the Magic Forest now. The High Mages of the Sixth Circle Tower are probably searching for me all over the world."
Karl muttered softly, forcing a smile.
"Fortunately, there are few ways to travel from the Calim Continent to here, or the Green Family's Third Circle Mages would be here too."
He sighed lightly, his face filled with helplessness.
With the impending collapse of the other world and the pursuit in the main world, his once promising future had been reduced to shambles.
The mental energy of a Third Circle Wizard exceeded fifty, granting them a lifespan of a thousand years, far surpassing that of a Second Circle Wizard.
Coupled with the suppression of the power of rules...
Resistance was impossible.
Shaking his head, Karl focused his attention on the spoils of his recent encounter to ease his troubled mind.
Barn and Baden, uncle and nephew, both from the core bloodline of the Green Family, naturally carried many valuable items.
Two Pseudo Fourth Rank Heritage Seals, over ten Third Rank Seals, two top-tier Third Rank Heritage Magic Tools, two Third Rank Staffs...
A Third Rank Summoning Contract, capable of summoning a Third Rank dark creature, the 'Night Tyrant'.
"It's a summoning contract, no wonder it accompanied them to the other world. However, summoned beings are also subject to rule suppression."
Karl took out the summoning contract, gave it a cursory examination, and set it aside.
Two Third Circle Wizard Robes, four sets of Second Rank Magic Boots, sixteen Second Rank Magic Puppets...
Over four hundred and fifty Magic Crystals!
Three thousand Magic Stones!
Six Spatial Gears, containing magic materials, various Wizard potions, and several rare treasures...
"This is incredible!"
Karl's eyes lit up, his breathing heavy.
"As expected of a top-tier Wizard family from the Calim Continent, they possess an astonishing amount of valuable items."
"Wizards of the Magic Forest wouldn't have accumulated this much wealth."
"With these items, even if I were to hide in the Divine Realm Fragment, I'd still have a chance to become a Third Circle Wizard."
Once he attained the Third Circle, he wouldn't have to fear the pursuit of the Green Family in the Magic Forest.
"Phew..."
Karl breathed a sigh of relief.
"At least it's not a dead end."
"The only problem now is that I can't stay in the Divine Realm Fragment for long, or my consciousness will be erased, leaving me with no emotional fluctuations, only absolute rationality..."
"A god!"
He stroked his chin, then waved his hand, disintegrating the souls of the few.
Barn's memory contained the 'Green Family's' forbidden knowledge. Once probed with magic, it would self-destruct.
Fortunately, Karl's target this time wasn't Barn, but the Barrier Mage, Mick.
Speaking of Mick, he was also unlucky. He had died on the spot after witnessing the clash between the two Second Circle Wizards.
"Wizard's Tome!"
"So, Mick obtained some incomplete heritage from ancient ruins, which led him to become a Barrier Mage. No wonder..."
"By inscribing the magic circuit in the form of the Wizard's Tome on his body, integrating it with his body's qi, blood, and spirit, creating a self-sustaining cycle. Such a method is unconventional, especially effective in concealing one's aura."
"Interesting!"
Other World.
Karl appeared above a body of water.
Unlike previous occasions, the endless sea was calm, with no waves stirring on the surface.
The blood moon in the sky continued to slowly disintegrate.
He silently sensed his body, feeling the rules' power gradually loosening its grip on his strength.
"I wonder if Tortuga Island is still..."
"Is Aya..."
"Still alive?"
His gaze shifted as he retrieved a palm-sized compass from his Spatial Gear.
A Third Rank Heritage Item—the Fate Compass!
Within it lay a peculiar golden seed, rumored to have received the blessing of the God of Fate.
When held, it would point toward the desired direction in one's heart.
Barn had also obtained this item, which led him to the Barrier Mage Mick and, consequently, Karl.
After the collapse of the Divine Realm, countless spatial fragments rained from the sky, drastically altering the terrain of the 'Mortal Realm'. Finding the original location was akin to a pipe dream.
Fortunately,
There was the guidance of fate.
Northwest!
Karl lifted his head, his body flashing with lightning, and a pair of enormous wings flapped gently behind him.
"Swish!"
His figure disappeared from its original spot, reappearing over twenty meters away.
A few flickers of light.
In the blink of an eye, he had already traveled several miles.
Three days later...
Karl appeared above an archipelago, randomly choosing a small island to descend upon. He closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Even a Second Circle Wizard or a Holy Knight would feel exhausted after three days of continuous travel without rest or food.
"Boom!"
Just as Karl was calming his mind, a loud explosion reverberated through the sky, causing ripples in the surrounding waters.
Hmm? He opened his eyes and looked up.
Three silhouettes appeared in mid-air, gradually solidifying into three bizarre creatures with human bodies, scorpion-like heads, and butterfly wings.
Their wings fluttered, emitting a mesmerizing, colorful glow.
In the next instant, Karl's perception changed. The three creatures vanished, replaced by three angels radiating a sacred aura.
"Mortal!"
One of the angels stepped forward, looking down at Karl with a gentle expression. "This world is about to be completely destroyed. We, under the command of the Great Father God, have come to save the surviving people."
"Lucky one, are you willing to have faith in the Father God?"
"Only through loyal faith can one receive the guidance of the Divine Realm and ascend to the land of eternity and bliss."
Karl narrowed his eyes, his curiosity piqued. "A servant of the Evil God?"
The angels' faces stiffened. "But this world is supposed to be full of mortals. How can someone see through our disguise?" one of them asked in surprise.
"Big sister," one of them said.
"What should we do now?"
"We were sent by the Father God to spread faith, but this person seems to be a non-believer."
"Enough!" The 'big sister' spoke with a stern voice. "Non-believers should be nailed to the Wall of the Faithless, enduring endless torment. This person is no exception."
"Kill him!"
"Let's continue spreading faith."
"Yes," the other two responded, their voices filled with light laughter, devoid of the sanctity they had before.
Their eyes, as they looked at Karl, held the greedy gaze of hunters upon their prey.
"Swish!"
One of them flashed towards Karl, arms outstretched as if embracing him.
But in Karl's perception, the angel's face contorted with sharp claws for hands, and it emitted a strange shriek as it lunged at Karl's heart.
Ten Thousand Buddha Hands - Demonic Subjugation Seal!
"Bang!"
The hand seal collided with the claws.
The 'angel's' expression froze, then twisted in agony as its arms, chest, and head exploded simultaneously.
Only the lower half of its body remained, splattered with dark green blood, as it fell to the ground.
"Ya!"
"Ah..."
The remaining two 'angels' were terrified, flapping their wings to escape, but Karl appeared beside them.
With a wave of his hand, the 'big sister' was instantly torn into four pieces.
The other 'angel' screamed, but before it could react, its wings were ripped off.
...
"The God of Deceit," Karl muttered, sitting cross-legged on a boulder, stroking his chin in thought. "I forgot that the Moon Goddess's barrier was damaged, allowing the powers of the Outer Realm's evil gods to seep in."
"They can't enter themselves, but they can send their servants."
"The God of Deceit is definitely not the one I encountered before. From the information I gathered from its servants, it's likely just a Mid-Rank Deity."
A Mid-Rank Deity,
In other words, a Fifth Circle entity! Since the God of Deceit could send its servants into this world, other deities could do the same.
Perhaps...
It was possible that, during this time, many evil god servants had already entered this world, spreading their faith and harvesting Essence.
Karl checked his data.
Essence +3
Essence +5
Essence +3
The three Mid-Rank servants had contributed eleven points of Essence, which translated to a little over one point in data terms.
It might not seem like much, but if Karl were to cultivate on his own, even without eating or sleeping and with various aids, it would still take over a year to achieve this.
"Crackle..."
As Karl pondered, a crack suddenly appeared in the distant sky, and several dark shadows fell towards the ground.
Hmm? More servants sent by evil gods?
Karl licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He wrapped himself in thunderous light and sped towards the falling figures.
