Chapter 1764 Unique Skill Deactivation

?Only about a minute or two had passed since Eren had activated [ Skill: Unreal Reflection ]. However, this short period was filled with screams and more screams.

"Aaaaaargh!"

Jen's anguished scream echoed through the air as Eren ruthlessly tore apart her fallopian tube with his bare hands, having already ripped through her stomach and methodically extracted her internal organs.

It looked ruthless at first glance. But if one really cared to look up close, they would see that there was a certain grace with which Eren handled Jen's internal organs without looking at them.

It was as if he already knew where everything was and how to pull it apart from the web of muscles and muscle fibers. This was a feat of an exceptional hunter, gourmet chef, or a well-trained butcher.

"Youuuuu…. Aaaaaaargh…. You devil…. I'll fucking kill you."

Jen spat with venomous hatred, her gaze fixed hatefully on Eren as her entrails spilled out. She could tell that Eren was only playing with her, using his ocular Skill on her intermittently as if she was some guinea pig he had laid his hands on after a long time.

Suspended in the air by Eren's hand clasped around her throat, she endured the torment while he continued his macabre rearrangement of her internal organs. The smell of blood filled the surroundings. Jen's constant screams and curses were the only thing her audience could hear.

"Tch. Tch. Tch. Looks like you still don't understand the position you are in, Miss Jen. It's me who will kill you so that you can come back to life. So that I can kill you once again."

Eren remarked dispassionately as he seized her liver, forcibly removing it and causing more blood to spill. Her stomach had been hollowed out at this point. It was as if someone had made mini-cargo space inside her tummy while keeping her epidermis intact for the most part.

Even Horen, witnessing the gruesome spectacle, couldn't bear to look at the torture inflicted by Eren. However, he refrained from intervening, recognizing that Jen had initiated the confrontation herself.

It was complete lunacy to take pity on an opponent who wanted to kill you for their own benefit. No matter how pitiful Jen seemed in Horen's eyes, the latter would not help her in any way.

It was just that Eren was making it very difficult for the Body Cultivator to ignore the woman's screams.

'Eren is insane. His methods of torture send chills down my spine. It's as if he sought justification for such actions. This lady's luck was truly rotten when she thought of messing with this man.'

Horen contemplated, sighing as he observed Eren's calm and composed demeanor, hoping he hadn't aligned himself with a complete psychopath.

"Don't look at me like that, big guy."

Eren addressed Horen audibly without glancing in his direction, as if he could discern Horen's thoughts.

"I'm not doing this because I enjoy torturing people. And proficiency doesn't always align with personal interest, you know. Sometimes you can be good at things you don't particularly like just because you kept doing them over and over.

I'm merely probing the extent of this cat lady's divine blessing. I'm curious to see how much her body can mend after her third revival in front of me.

Sometimes, research demands getting your hands dirty. Figuratively and literally speaking," Eren remarked casually while continuing to torment Jen. He had quickly figured out the extent of her divine blessing for the most part.

However, there were still a few details that eluded him. He was not looking at the aspect of the divine blessing as a potential recipient. He was looking at this whole thing as a potential bestower of the divine blessing to his followers.

After all, he was a demi-god and needed raw data to understand how the blessings worked before he could even think about blessing his future followers.

***

Cat Goddess Bastet's divine blessing was truly extraordinary and coveted by many of her devotees. It bestowed the ability to resurrect from any fatal injury as long as the original body and soul remained intact.

Even decapitation by Horen's broadsword wouldn't impede Jen's revival. Therefore, it was reasonable to assume that the blessing functioned in nearly any circumstance.

Jen retained her consciousness in a bodiless soul form after supposed death, courtesy of the divine blessing. After watching her revive herself using the blessing, Eren had come up with a few hypotheses.

Firstly, for a limited duration, she existed as a spectral entity after her soul departed the body, allowing her to observe ongoing events without her adversaries being aware of her presence.

With the divine blessing, Jen could choose an immediate revival or wait within a restricted time frame. The blessing offered her the flexibility to return at her convenience based on the unfolding situation.

There was no cooldown between successive uses of the blessing. However, after the final revival, Jen would undergo a complete transformation into a cat-type beast, losing her sense of self.

***

In a matter of mere minutes, Eren had not only neutralized Raif but had also twice brought about Jen's demise.

Each time, he compelled her swift return to life by infusing her lifeless form with death-element mana.

Eren discovered that Jen was compelled to resurrect whenever her body teetered on complete dispersion. Despite isolating her body from her soul using his Spiritual Force, she could still access the Blessing.

This revelation signified that the Cat Goddess' divine blessing was impervious to interference. The Blessing meticulously healed her body after every use, erasing all traces of previous wounds and leaving behind only faint tissue scars as a lingering reminder of the injuries inflicted by her adversaries.

'It's the Mesh! This Mesh makes it possible for these people to use their Blessing even after their supposed death. I wonder if that greedy goddess charges them an additional fee for such value-added services.

But it does make me ponder. What type of Blessing should I bestow upon my followers? How can I create a Blessing that truly reflects my divine essence?

Can a demi-god indeed impart blessings to mortals? Or is this something only the legit gods could do?' Eren mused on these questions while persisting with his torment of Jen.

"Aaaa—"

Abruptly, Jen's cries ceased with the cessation of her life. However, in that moment, the pseudo-domain he had cast also abruptly dissipated without his consent.

The ancient Array Formation behind him dispersed into thin air, and his eyes returned to their normal state.

'Hm? What in the world—'

Confusion etched his face as he sought the reason behind the automatic deactivation of his Unique Skill. Fortunately or unfortunately, he soon unraveled the mystery when a Spectral Notification flashed before him.

[ Unique Skill: Unreal Reflection deactivated due to insufficient Origin Force Points.

Current Origin Force Points: 0 ]
