Chapter 1167 God Killer Quest Completed
The tension around Rainar's trembling body reached a crescendo, and without warning, his form exploded in a burst of blinding light. The gods, having retreated a safe distance, looked on in horror and disbelief. But before the shockwaves of the explosion could reach them, an even more astonishing event unfolded.
A black hole, an abyss of darkness, appeared out of nowhere, hovering above the spot where Rainar had been. It began to suck in the explosion's energy and the very essence of Rainar's soul, leaving the gods stunned and speechless.
"What in the realms...?" Lathander murmured, his usual mischievous tone replaced by one of awe and confusion. His eyes were fixed on the black hole, trying to comprehend this unforeseen phenomenon.
Flora, the Goddess of Nature, clutched at her heart, her face a mask of fear.
"Where is all this energy going? Into that... that void?" she asked, her voice trembling.
Even Zorian, the God of the Sun, usually so composed and authoritative, could not hide his shock.
"This is beyond the bounds of our understanding," he said, his voice betraying a hint of uncertainty.
"Such a phenomenon... I have never witnessed anything like it."
As the black hole absorbed the last remnants of the explosion and Rainar's essence, it began to shrink, eventually disappearing as mysteriously as it had appeared. The area was left eerily calm, the only evidence of the recent events being the stunned expressions on the faces of the gods.
Valorius, the God of Valor, broke the silence, his voice filled with disbelief.
"Did we just witness... a god being killed? And his essence... absorbed by that black hole?"
Fortuna, still trembling from the shock, could barely articulate her thoughts.
"This is... a god... assassinated... and his soul..." She trailed off, unable to finish her sentence.
On the other hand, Morbus, the God of Plague, reappeared from the mist, his grin now replaced by a look of contemplation.
"The rules have changed," he said quietly.
"The untouchable have been touched. The eternal have been ended."
"This will send ripples through all the realms. The balance of power... it has been altered." Kranar, who had been silent throughout the ordeal, finally spoke in a low, serious voice.
After a while, Zorian gathered his composure and addressed the assembly of gods.
"We must find this assassin. And we must understand the nature of this black hole. Our very existence may depend on it."
The gods, still grappling with the reality of what had just transpired, exchanged looks of fear, confusion, and dawning realization. A deity had been killed, and the very fabric of their divine existence had been challenged. The event had shaken their beliefs to the core, leaving them to ponder the fragility of their immortality.

Scanning through the new information, he noted a few key changes.
"Looks like my badass points have increased," he muttered to himself, observing the jump from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000. His gaze then moved to the 'Wordless Spell Caster' skill, which was now absent, and the reduction in the Cloud of Darkness's level boost.
"Seems like the system is adapting, changing as I evolve. Interesting and make sense," he pondered aloud, intrigued by the dynamic nature of the system.
While he was staring at his status window, his eyes narrowed as he considered the absence of experience points and quest completion notification for assassinating Rainar.
"Where the hell is the experience points for killing Rainar?" he questioned, his voice tinged with curiosity and a hint of impatience.
The forest remained undisturbed, its peacefulness contrasting sharply with the whirlwind of thoughts in Michael's mind.
Michael's gaze drifted to his system status once again, lost in thought.
"What's the system playing at? No experience points, no quest completion... What does it mean?" he wondered, his voice echoing slightly in the stillness of the forest.
He let out a sigh, his breath misting in the cool air.
"I guess the assassination of a god isn't just another task for the system. There must be more to it, something bigger at play," he concluded, his voice carrying a sense of realization and anticipation.
Suddenly, as Michael was mulling over the system's apparent lack of response, he was forcefully ejected from the system interface. The abruptness of the action caught him off guard, his thoughts interrupted by the unexpected turn of events. Before he could process what was happening, a black hole materialized in front of him, its dark maw swirling ominously.
Ayag and Sarba, equally startled by this sudden development, voiced their shock.
"What's happening now?" Ayag exclaimed, her tone laced with alarm.
As they watched, a crystalized energy, glowing with an intense light, shot out from the black hole towards Michael. Reacting swiftly, he reached out and caught the energy crystal, his hand closing around it firmly.
At that very moment, the familiar chime of the system rang in his mind, delivering a long-awaited notification.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the God of Rain, Rainar. The reward is 120,000 Experience points and 40,000 Badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 60,000 Badass points]
The energy crystal in his hand pulsated, and as the Energy Devourer skill activated, Michael felt a surge of power coursing through him. The energy crystal was rapidly converted into experience points, fueling his rise in power.
Amidst this surge of energy, another system notification chimed in, marking the completion of a significant quest:
[The quest 'God Killer' is completed…]
[The host has received one million badass points…]
Michael's mind raced as he processed the significance of the quest's completion. The quest, titled "God Killer - Seek retribution against Rainar and avenge Marli's worshippers," had been a pivotal part of his journey. And now, the reward was finally revealed.
[Upon completing the quest, the host will receive the location of a hidden base of operation in the realm of gods.]
As he stood there, still absorbing the influx of power and information, a map materialized in his hand. Unfolding it, he saw a new base of operation marked clearly on it, a location hidden within the realm of gods.
Upon looking at the map, Ayag leaned in, her eyes wide with curiosity as she peered at the map in Michael's hand.
"What's this?" she asked, her tone a mix of intrigue and excitement.
Michael held the map up, studying it closely. A grin slowly spread across his face, reflecting a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for what lay ahead. The map represented more than just a location; it symbolized a new phase in their journey, a new base if operation.
"It's our next big thing," Michael finally said, his voice carrying a hint of mystery and determination. The map in his hand wasn't just a piece of paper; it was a gateway to new opportunities, a chance to expand their influence and power within the realm of gods.
