Chapter 82 - 81: Extraordinary Cancer Cells, Wizards Believe in My God

The Blood Pool roiled, and two storage Witch Rings eventually dropped from the opening below, but Kenny didn’t look up. Instead, he bowed his head even lower.

The four-meter-tall canine statue had completely come to life, now possessing living flesh. Its forehead, teeming with fleshy buds, twisted together to form an eye of flesh and blood—chaotic, grotesque, and warped.

Gendas savored the aftertaste. The flavor of a Wizard... How many years had it been since he had last tasted one?

The chaos of the Outer Space, the dangers of the Inner Space—even he had to be cautious, terrified of being captured by a powerful Wizard or some other entity.

Although they were only Low-tier Wizards, the taste was still unbelievably delicious.

The Material World was truly as those fellows had said—treasures were everywhere. Souls, flesh, it had everything.

Those powerful Wizards had all left the Material World and established themselves in the Inner World.

Devouring enough flesh and souls might allow his Power to increase further.

’It’s not enough yet. I need more.’

A sharp, canine bark echoed throughout the entire underground palace.

Kenny hurriedly shouted, "Praise be to the great God of Gendas!"

His gaze fell beside the two rings, on the newly fallen object: a piece of blackish-red, tentacled flesh. It was irregular, only a fragment, yet it was covered in all sorts of tiny mouthparts.

In Kenny’s eyes, this piece of tentacled flesh had already transformed into the divine body of a god, shimmering with a golden, glazed luster.

This was indeed a part of Gendas. Although it wasn’t his main body, it was still mixed with his true, scarlet flesh.

The blackish-red flesh took root in Kenny’s heart, replacing it. His blood also turned a corresponding color, and his cells and flesh received an incredibly exaggerated enhancement.

Kenny felt an omnipotent, mighty Power. His aura surged, now not much weaker than that of a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice.

He was ecstatic. ’This is a god! I can become a god too, and be one with God!’

’Kenny will bring new sacrifices to the great God of Gendas and spread the god’s radiance to more mortals.’

He slipped the two rings onto his index and middle fingers. These belonged to Wizards; they were both trophies and a mark of honor.

’How could Wizards possibly compare to a true god? They’ll be utterly annihilated under the radiance of the God of Gendas.’

’Flesh... souls... I need to sacrifice more... I can still obtain even greater rewards of Power...’

......

An ancient city stood upon a plain. The rich, fertile soil allowed the common folk to cultivate all sorts of crops, often yielding bountiful harvests. For this reason, it was also called the Golden Plain.

The caravan traveled along the main road. In the distance, the Capital City appeared as a blurry speck. They were on higher ground, so while they could see the city, it was still some distance away.

But they were getting close. They would arrive in half a day at most. Nicotine was pleasantly surprised; their pace was even faster than he had anticipated.

Only the disappearance of Jones from the caravan caused another wave of panic. However, as they drew closer to the Capital City, the joy of their impending arrival washed away the fear. Everyone began to look forward to enjoying fine wine and the company of women.

Along the road, scattered commoners could already be seen cultivating their crops. They were all residents of the nearby villages and small towns.

[Notice: Analysis successful. The unknown Vengeful Spirit is not, in fact, a Vengeful Spirit. It possesses the Ability to convert between illusion and reality. Its species cannot be determined.]

[Probability of being a Black Mountain Demon Dog: thirty-five percent. Probability of being an Ancient Flesh Tree: forty percent. Probability of being a Void Miba Worm: fifty percent...]

Wang Ya, who was riding a horse, froze for a moment. The analysis results from the Eye of Truth were completely beyond his expectations.

This unknown Vengeful Spirit actually possessed traits from over a hundred types of Extraordinary Creatures. ’What the hell is this thing?’

’Why would something like this even exist? It completely defies the conventional understanding of Biological Cultivation Science.’

’Even with bloodline fusion, I’ve never seen a mixture of over a hundred Extraordinary Bloodlines. It’s not a matter of strength; the body’s own cells and flesh simply can’t withstand that level of rejection.’

Wang Ya’s existing knowledge was shaken. At the same time, a strong sense of curiosity welled up in him, making him want to dig deeper into the fundamental nature of this unknown creature.

[This creature possesses an exaggerated Ability for flesh regeneration. Its entire body, down to every single cell, is filled with astonishing vitality. It has a terrifying consumption power. When fed flesh and souls, it will proliferate without limit. Upper limit: Unknown!]

[The creature contains numerous Genetic Fragments from the cells of Extraordinary Creatures. Unable to determine if a root bloodline factor is present or can accommodate them. In-depth analysis required. Estimated time: 30 days.]

Wang Ya subconsciously held his breath. ’Are you kidding me? Unlimited flesh proliferation after devouring flesh and souls... How is that any different from the cancer cells in my previous life?’

’No, this is the Extraordinary World. This thing is thousands, even tens of thousands of times more terrifying than cancer cells!’

’But... how the hell does this thing maintain the Balance of its cells and flesh? Even when devouring flesh and souls, there must be a limit to what it can bear. It’s impossible to become strong without limit.’

’Harak went through great pains just to absorb the Shadow Crow Bloodline, and it’s extremely difficult for him to accommodate any new Extraordinary Bloodlines now.’

’If the shackles of bloodlines were that easy to break, nine out of ten newcomers would probably choose to become Bloodline Wizards.’

Wang Ya couldn’t wrap his head around it, but a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes. The unknown was always alluring, especially when it was related to breaking the shackles of an Extraordinary Bloodline. ’If Harak also possessed these kinds of Traits, what would he become?’

Wang Ya took a deep breath. He desperately wanted to enter his lab right now, to dissect every piece of this unknown creature’s flesh and understand its every cell.

After calming down, he also considered another aspect. ’Why would a creature like this appear in the Maya Kingdom, and hosted within a mortal’s body at that?’

Suddenly, his brow furrowed. His Spiritual Power sensed a large number of mortals ahead. The caravan had arrived at a small town, where they could rest and also sell some of their salt and sugar.

The commotion was exceptionally loud, and not just because of the caravan. There were far too many people.

"His Majesty the King has come to our town! This is wonderful! We get to keep our entire year’s harvest for ourselves!"

"His Majesty Kenny is going to travel to every corner of the land! He’s bringing hope to the people of the Maya Kingdom, making sure everyone has enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and won’t be oppressed."

"Long live His Majesty Kenny! As long as you believe in the God of Gendas, you’ll have enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and be happy for life! The god’s radiance will shine upon everyone!"

Cheers and shouts like these could be heard everywhere.

Wang Ya sensed that something was wrong. He caught keywords from the shouts: "believe," "God of Gendas," "god’s radiance," and so on...

His eyes grew cold. The Dark Land had informed every Wizard that if they discovered anything related to faith, gods, or believers, they must destroy it all. Even killing the innocent by mistake was permissible.

Letting it go unchecked could easily lead to a terrible disaster.

"Mr. Arthur, Captain Hans sent me to inform you that you are to go for an audience with His Majesty the King."
