Chapter 150: Evil G.o.d Alexei
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At this point, even an average individual could discern that there was something gravely amiss with this wooden carving. It certainly did not bode well!
As the black hand extended, the wooden carving absorbed with increased intensity, even a.s.similating the blood of the fallen pirates.
Everyone present could feel their blood pumping faster as if it was being drawn away.
The thick, abnormal scent of blood permeated the entire cave.
In the midst of Robert’s despairing gaze, his body was reduced to a dried-up husk, with only bones remaining.
The wooden carving emitted a blood-red glow as if it had absorbed enough energy.
A thick, black mist emanated from the wooden carving and condensed into a human face in mid-air.
The pressure in the surroundings reached its peak.
Even Alice and Anina couldn’t resist and were instantly pinned to the ground.
Ji Chen felt every cell in his body being crushed, bearing an unimaginable burden. His veins and muscles bulged, and his face twisted in agony.
Perhaps noticing his abnormality, the blood-red eyes of the face turned towards him.
A terrifying pressure descended as if a mountain was cras.h.i.+ng down.
He could even hear his spine creaking, and his waist and legs involuntarily bending.
This thing wanted him to kneel and surrender!
A mere unknown ent.i.ty, expecting him to kneel?
Dream on!
Ji Chen gritted his teeth and tried to mobilize the slightest trace of his mana, struggling to resist the pressure.
But even with the help of the mysterious evil ent.i.ty that arrived through the wooden carving, the released pressure was beyond what Ji Chen could withstand.
Even the toughest body couldn’t help but bend.
At this moment, a surge of deep blue energy surged from within him, relieving the pressure released by the wooden carving.
It was the power of the Tidal Lord profession!
It appeared when the host sensed danger!
At this point, the face of the ent.i.ty revealed a hint of curiosity and stared directly at Ji Chen.
Reeking of boundless evil.
In a hoa.r.s.e and somewhat interested voice, it spoke, “Oh? Interesting… Insignificant human, if you offer your soul to me and believe in me, I shall spare your life.”
With the a.s.sistance of the Tidal Lord profession, Ji Chen felt the pressure lessen and had enough strength to speak.
Upon hearing the face speak, he forced a smile and said, “1 don’t even know your name, how can I believe in you?”
The mouth of the face opened and closed as if uttering an indescribable name.
“I am one of the twelve evil G.o.ds, the Blood G.o.d Alexei. Those who have faith in me shall attain the ultimate power to manipulate blood! Those who reject my existence shall perish as their life force is drained, plunging into the depths of the Blood h.e.l.l.”
The words were filled with irresistible temptation and wickedness.
Control blood?
Isn’t that something like vampires or bloodsuckers?
And Alexei…
An evil G.o.d…
Definitely not something good.
To offer one’s soul and faith? Only a fool would do so.
Putting aside the vampire-like blood-sucking ability, just the belief in an evil G.o.d would be enough to attract the forces of justice and light to come and hunt him down.
Believing in such a thing was impossible, but for now, he couldn’t show any sign of it and had to find a way to escape.
Ji Chen tried to stall for time.
“I need some time to consider.”
“Ignorant mortal, do not dare to deceive the mighty Alexei! Though 1 am currently confined to this vessel, my true authority is merely a fraction of its full potential. However, the power of a deity surpa.s.ses your feeble comprehension. It is more than enough to effortlessly extinguish your life, imprison your soul, and subject it to eternal anguish within the blood-soaked depths for countless millions of years…”
“We… are willing to believe in you! Become your… faithful followers!”
At this moment, Han Dameng and Zhang Xiaotian, who had been pinned to the ground, found the courage to speak up.
“Oh?” Alexei looked at them. “While your power pales in comparison to this human, I, being temporarily present here today, will grant you an opportunity if you can withstand my divine authority.”
Han Dameng and Zhang Xiaotian’s faces immediately brightened.
Although believing in this Blood G.o.d seemed like a bad idea, it was not an unacceptable price to pay in order to survive today.
“We are willing…”
A wave of authority and pressure instantly descended upon them.
Boom…
Boom…
Two explosive sounds rang out as Han Dameng and Zhang Xiaotian exploded into a shower of blood and flesh.
Obviously, unlike Ji Chen, they couldn’t withstand the pressure.
“They have not pa.s.sed my test and are not qualified to become my followers,” Alexei said emotionlessly, as if two ants had died, then he turned his gaze to Ji Chen. “Now it’s your turn. Are you willing?”
His tone remained unchanged, but if Ji Chen refused, he would probably explode into a shower of blood and flesh just like the others.
Did he really have to believe in this Blood G.o.d nonsense?
And what about the claim of only temporary presence?
How long has it been already, and it still hasn’t left!?
Ji Chen cursed silently in his heart. He knew that stalling for time probably wouldn’t work.
What should he do?
He couldn’t win the fight, couldn’t escape, so what’s next?
“It seems that you, a lowly human, are unwilling to believe in me, Alexei. Very well, you shall suffer the same fate as those two humans…”
At this moment, a vast power surged in like warm air into a cold room, suppressing Alexei’s authority and causing the pressure on Ji Chen’s shoulders to disappear.
Just when he was puzzled, an astonished and angry voice came from Alexei. “This power… is it you?… I have no grudge against you, why do you obstruct me?… 1 understand now, you are this human… d.a.m.n it, if 1 hadn’t temporarily descended through this token, how could you have stopped me…”
An overwhelmingly immense power surged in.
In a breath, Alexei’s face was forced back into the wooden carving, and the pressure that pervaded the cave disappeared in an instant.
Not only that, but the wooden carving was also shattered into powder by this power, and then the power itself vanished.
The entire cave, except for the corpses on the ground, returned to its previous state.
All of the recent events unfolded rapidly.
From the moment when the evil G.o.d Alexei was on the verge of attacking, to the sudden arrival of a mysterious power that a.s.sisted in suppressing Alexei back into the wooden carving and subsequently obliterating it, before disappearing without a trace.
The entire sequence transpired within a mere half-minute.
In the present moment, Ji Chen’s mind was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with perplexity and uncertainty.
Who was this power that helped him?
From the overwhelming situation just now, it might be at the same level as Alexei or even stronger.
But why would this existence help him?
Could it be because he looked handsome?
Ji Chen couldn’t fathom a reason that would make this existence actively a.s.sist him.
He had to temporarily set it aside and look at Robert’s dried-up corpse.
A magnificent Blue Excellent-tier hero, reduced to a dried-up husk simply from having his blood drained. It was a pitiful death.
He had a.s.sumed that whatever had rescued him was benevolent in nature, but he never antic.i.p.ated that it would enable the temporary manifestation of the Blood G.o.d, causing his appearance to undergo such a transformation.
Ji Chen shook his head and looked at the recovering army.
Though the Naga warriors and other units were completely suppressed earlier, fortunately, Alexei didn’t kill them first.
Otherwise, he would have suffered heavy losses.
But thankfully, they had narrowly escaped. Apart from the two players, no one died.
“My Lord, what was that just now…” Alice asked with lingering fear.
Everything from the evil presence to the subsequent help from another ent.i.ty made her feel insignificant.
Faced with such power, she didn’t even have the ability to stand up and fight. She could only watch as the danger of death loomed over her…
Upon hearing her question, Ji Chen simply shook his head.
G.o.d-level power was still too early for them.
What level could a G.o.d be, based on the known information? The highest level was 79, the highest level attainable by Tier 7 units, and the current highest level reachable by players.
But what lay beyond that? Was there a higher level?
Ji Chen couldn’t know for sure.
However, he already had a vague guess in his mind.
The power he just witnessed was probably beyond what a level 79 could reach….
