Chapter 590: 3rd Trial Gate (2/2)
*Weng!* *Weng!* *Weng! Weng!*
Four strong fluctuations suddenly erupted from their bodies, causing the space around them to abruptly change.
All of a sudden, the surroundings turned black and white. There was a soul-penetrating chill that sent shivers through Raven's spine. The eyes to the War Gods turned red and their silhouettes turned increasingly monstrous as if they were metamorphosing into something completely different in Raven's eyes.
It was then followed with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. It was as if the world only permitted three colors to exist, black, white and bloody red.
An imposing momentum rose from their bodies and bore down on Raven. The thick and murderous killing intent their bodies released were almost tangible, manifesting into reality.
Raven prevented himself from gasping in fear of disturbing their experience, nevertheless Raven felt genuinely happy for the War Gods, specially now that they could officially solidify that title since they achieve the genuine Slaughter Domain.
As Raven being a possessor of a pseudo-Slaughter Domain, the effects of their imposing auras still affected him but not as much, had it been anyone else aside from him, they'd probably be trembling on their boots once they were subjected to the stacked domains on these four War Gods.
After quite sometime of releasing their Slaughter Domain, it receded one by one. It was then that the War Gods woke up from their stupor.
”Oh, we're out.” Theo pointed out as he saw the stormy weather and Raven who's waiting for them.
”What happened?” Charles said in a confused tone.
”I don't know.” Henry replied, ”Last thing I remember, we were hard at work. We probably fell under n illusion and was kicked out.”
”I don't think so.” Logan countered, he pointed behind him and said: ”If we were kicked out, then how come we cleared the 3rd Trial Gate?”
”You guys don't remember anything?” Raven asked, similarly confused as the War Gods themselves.
”Well, the last thing I could remember is we were living the life of a regular mortal.” Theo replied. ”We experienced different mortal lives, the longest we could live was 100 years old, after that we'll die and be born again on another parent and live on once more.”
”We were on our 9th reincarnation before we woke up just now.” Logan added, ”I got so absorbed into it that I completely forgot that we were at a trial.”
”The same thing happened to me. I even nearly forgot about my current identity.” Henry added, there was a faint nostalgia on his tone, he's probably remembering the mortal lives he experienced.
”What I don't understand is that, how the hell did we end up looking like this if that's the case?” Charles pointed out, causing the War Gods finally discover their ragged appearances. ”I sure as hell don't remember fighting anything that could rip apart my uniform like some random rags.”
”I mean, maybe we were destined to not remember anything.” Henry pointed out. ”Maybe it's included in the rules of the trial. Also, would it really matter now that we cleared it?”
”You've got a point there...” Charles nodded.
”So you guys really don't remember anything, huh.” Raven said as he looked strangely at the War Gods.
”Why? Did we do something?” Logan asked, unsure what to make out of Raven's current expression.
”Well...nothing much really.” He said, still looking at them strangely. ”I just noticed that when you guys came out, all of you were at a special state of enlightenment. I didn't disturb you at all and just waited until you guys woke up on your own.”
”We we're at the enlightenment state when we came out?” Henry asked, slightly in disbelief. He checked himself out and said: ”I don't feel any different though?”
”I think you should.” Raven said, causing them to raise a brow. ”After all, you guys just got your own Slaughter Domains.”
”What!?”
