Chapter 222: Complete Godhood
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The battle continued.
Zhou Chen endured the pain in his body and crazily beat up this mucus lump.
He used all his strength in every punch to cause huge amounts of physical damage, triggering the effects of the Touch of Evil, Corpse Poison, Freeze, and so on.
Physical damage was originally useless against this enemy, but under the influence of the Enforce passive skill, Zhou Chen’s physical attacks constantly inflicted injuries that were difficult to heal.
“I am feeling better. Has Berserk been stacked? Not only that, the Feast passive skill has also taken effect.”
After fighting for a while, Zhou Chen’s condition was becoming better. Although he was still in pain, the feeling of weakness was disappearing.
His Berserk passive had stacked twice and he also got a clear healing effect due to Feast passive which was similar to a life-steal skill.
Previously, when Zhou Chen was fighting the golden-armored man, the damage inflicted had been small, so he did not clearly feel the effect of the Feast passive skill. This time, it finally worked.
As a result, Zhou Chen became more and more brave in his attacks. Not only did his weakened state not worsen, but it even recovered. On the other hand, although his opponent had been dealing quite a lot of damage to Zhou Chen through some unknown methods, it was suffering more injuries. After a while, it realized that it was at a huge disadvantage and had the intention to escape.
“You want to escape? With your speed, you can forget about it.” When he realized that this enemy had given up on attacking him and turned to flee, Zhou Chen immediately chased after it and attacked it, not letting it have any chance of escaping.
This was to be expected. This enemy’s speed was not strong to begin with. Now that Zhou Chen had closed in, the Earth Pressure passive skill was activated, suppressing the enemy’s speed to a certain extent, making his speed advantage even more obvious.
When it realized that it could not evade Zhou Chen even if it tried its best, it immediately used a certain spell. Its mucus body turned into four parts of the same size and began to run in four directions.
“This… which one is real?”
The enemy’s response gave Zhou Chen a headache. He attacked the target closest to him while sensing the others to determine who was the real one.
Unfortunately, this enemy did not have blood in its body, so Zhou Chen could not tell who the real one was with his Bloodthirst.
“Maybe all four are real. I’ll kill them all.”
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. He first used all his strength to destroy the clone beside him. Then, he took out a mirror from his inventory.
This mirror was the bizarre mirror he had obtained in the previous world. It had the effect of searching.
The scope of the bizarre mirror was very large. It could detect everything in a radius of 5,000 kilometers. As long as Zhou Chen marked the location, it would show the scene of the location.
He quickly scanned the already empty surroundings with the bizarre mirror and followed the traces left by the other three enemy clones when they fled to search for their current location.
After a while, he found two of them. Then, he realized that the two of them had changed back to the shape of the strange strange men from before. One of them led a large group of black-robed people with bird beak masks towards him, as if they wanted to surround him. The other hid in a sewer more than ten kilometers away.
“Let’s deal with this lone one first.”
Without much hesitation, Zhou Chen moved toward the enemy clone in the sewers first because this one seemed like the real body and was alone.
As for how to break through the encirclement that was about to form, it was very simple. He directly charged into the nearby block and relied on the mirror jumping ability provided by the Mirror passive skill to flash towards the destination.
It had to be known that this world had very mature glass arts, and almost every family had glass mirrors. It took him less than half a second to reach a room a few hundred meters away from the sewers. Then, he activated the bizarre shoes’ phasing and invisibility ability and pierced through the ground to chase after the enemy’s clone.
The invisibility provided by the bizarre shoes could not fool everyone, especially this kind of opponent. He would be discovered when he was dozens of meters away from the other party in the invisible state. However, this was enough. At this distance, the enemy could no longer escape Zhou Chen’s grasp. The only outcome was to be beaten to death by Zhou Chen.
Five seconds later, with a series of explosions, Zhou Chen killed the enemy. He stepped on the broken head of the clone.
[You have killed the Plague Monarch (Slight Divine Power). Reward: Godhood (Mini) (Shattered)]
[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have obtained the passive skills of the Plague Monarch (Slight Divine Power): Plague V, Disease Immunity V. Do you want to absorb it?]
[Godhood (Mini) (Shattered)]
Type: Low Gold item
This is a shattered Godhood. After using enough divinity materials, it can return to a perfect state.
A repaired mini Godhood can be absorbed by a powerful life form. After igniting the divine flame, it can allow the life form to become a demigod.
Godhood has the ability to grow. As long as you obtain enough power of faith, you can obtain enough divine power and gradually grow into an even stronger god.]
[Plague V
Type: Mid Silver passive skill
The living beings around you will be infected with various fatal mid silver-ranked fatal diseases. Even if they have extraordinary physiques, they will gradually fall into the abyss of diseases if they stay by your side for a long time.]
[Disease Immunity V
Type: Mid Silver passive skill
You are immune to all kinds of diseases of mid Silver rank and below, and you have a strong resistance to stronger illnesses.]
“Absorb!”
After reading the introduction of the passive skills, Zhou Chen chose to absorb them all and deactivate the Plague V to prevent himself from becoming the source of the plague.
As the new passive skills fused with his body, he felt some of the discomfort in his body instantly disappear. He knew that this was the effect of the Disease Immunity passive skill.
“This guy is really the real body? My luck is really good.”
Zhou Chen had expected to not find its true body even after killing all the clones. Unexpectedly, he had overestimated this opponent and killed his true body during the second kill.
Of course, this was also because Zhou Chen was too fast, not giving this enemy much time to escape.
“His name is Plague Monarch? Sounds quite amazing, but it was nothing much.”
As an expert, Zhou Chen had never given himself a mighty name. Instead, these defeated opponents’ names became more and more resounding.
“The demigods in this world are really weak. They can’t even defeat me, so how can they be Gods…”
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen took out the reward he had just obtained: a mini shattered Godhood.
It was a dim golden ball of light that did not look very eye-catching.
“This is Godhood? It’s not even bright…”
The more Zhou Chen looked at it, the more he wanted to shake his head. The Gods in this world were really too different from what he had imagined. He felt that they were only the names of a group of extraordinary beings.
“This thing needs divinity materials to restore, I’ll give it a try.”
Since he had the materials, Zhou Chen took out the small divinity essence.
This divine essence was stored in a transparent bottle, showing a bright golden liquid state.
Without much thought, he opened the bottle and stuffed the mini ball of light-like Godhood inside.
After the Godhood entered the bottle, it immediately reacted with the divinity liquid and absorbed it.
Zhou Chen saw the golden liquid in the transparent bottle decreasing visibly.
Before long, the divinity liquid in the bottle disappeared, leaving only the small ball of light in the bottle.
The light emitted by the small ball was no longer as dim as before. It was bright and was emitting a faint golden light.
At the same time, in Zhou Chen’s vision, the system label of this Godhood had changed.
[Godhood (Mini)]
Type: Middle Gold item.
This is a complete mini Godhood. After fusing with a powerful life form and igniting the divine flame, it can allow this life form to become a demigod.
Godhood has the ability to grow. As long as you obtain enough power of faith, you can obtain enough divine power and gradually grow into an even stronger god.]
“It’s repaired just like that? Isn’t it too simple?”
Looking at the system’s description, Zhou Chen knew that this Godhood was already complete. The path to becoming a God was right before his eyes.
“Hehe, system, you want me to walk the path of God? I won’t choose that.”
Zhou Chen felt that there was something fishy about this and became a little vigilant.
He placed the transparent bottle with the complete mini Godhood back into his inventory and removed the thought of absorbing it.
“It’s too lousy to rely on faith. I will not take this path if possible.”
After reminding himself, Zhou Chen took out the bizarre mirror again and began to investigate the situation near the remaining enemies and his rented mansion.
Half a minute later, he saw that the black-robed men with bird beak masks looked possessed. They were kneeling in front of the disgusting pile of mucus and praying, as if they were grieving for the death of their faith.
“There are so many faiths to follow, but they choose to worship plague?” Zhou Chen did not understand these strange people. He felt that there was a hole in their heads.
Just as he was thinking about whether to go over and kill these people, he saw a few extraordinary beings descend from the sky and begin to kill these black-robed men.
These people were not weak. Some were powerful mages, while others were powerful warriors. In just a few breaths, they had killed all these evil people. One of the white-robed old mages even vaguely glanced at Zhou Chen, who was observing them through the bizarre mirror.
“These native experts should be looking for this guy I killed. Unfortunately, they’re late.”
After putting away the mirror, Zhou Chen dug out the heart of the corpse and stuffed it into his interspatial ring.
Although he did not need this thing, it was very valuable to the natives in this world and could be used to trade for things he needed.
“I have to change places. Although I need to cultivate, I can’t be isolated from the world.”
The mansion that Zhou Chen rented was still very safe, but he did not plan to stay there for long because the city it was in had suddenly been wiped out by the evil forces and had become a dead city.
Zhou Chen still liked living among the people, so he planned to find a place with people.
“Let’s go back and pack.”
After some thought, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he jumped to the surface and walked to a nearby street. He quickly returned to his mansion through the mirror jump and stored some things in his interspatial ring before leaving.
When he left, he rode the hovering motorcycle in the direction of another city fifty kilometers away.
He had already collected the maps, so there was no need to wander around.
But after he rode for a while, an old man in a white robe and a staff suddenly appeared out of thin air and blocked his path.
“Young expert, did you kill the King of Disease?” The moment the white-robed old man appeared, he asked Zhou Chen with a smile.
“Yeah.” Zhou Chen looked at this old man who was blocking the way. He sensed an extremely powerful aura from the latter’s body.
He had wanted to deny it, but since this person asked so clearly, he must have figured out the truth through some means. It was a waste of time for him to deny it. He might as well make things clear and see what he wanted to do.
“Young expert, thank you for taking revenge for the people who died in Bolin City. Recently, many Gods of the Divine Realm have descended to the lower realm and wreaked havoc in our world. I want to invite you to join the Dawn Council to help us resist these evil existences.”
The old man revealed his goal and invited Zhou Chen to join them.
“Dawn Council? Why haven’t I heard of it?” Zhou Chen was puzzled. He had obtained a lot of information about this world over the past few days and knew about the various organizations in this world, but he had never heard of the Dawn Council.
The white-robed old man continued to smile at Zhou Chen’s doubt. “The Dawn Council was recently established to deal with the descent of the Gods. It has not been officially announced to the public. It’s normal for you not to know.”
“Oh, then let me think about it for a while.” Zhou Chen immediately declined.
He could not even be bothered to join an established organization, let alone a newly established one.
“Alright, young man. If you join the Dawn Council, you will be able to get to know the various experts. I suggest you consider it carefully. Before we part ways, can you tell me your name?” The old man knew that Zhou Chen had refused.
“My name is Li Xing. Are you the white-robed great mage, Aidenfat?”
Zhou Chen immediately gave a fake name and asked this person.
“Yes. I will wait for you to join us. I’ll use the Great Holy Light Spell on you so that you can safely go to someplace else.”
Seeing that Zhou Chen had recognized him, the old man’s smile seemed to increase.. Then, without any conspicuous movement, his figure quickly disappeared, leaving only dazzling white holy light.
