642 Status Transformation (2/2)
Lucien became rather solemn. He was capable of 'God's Arrival', too? It was not entirely impossible based on the fact that Sard could use 'God's Arrival' with the mysterious piece. Therefore, he asked in a low voice, ”Mr. Monster, neither you nor Viken easily used 'God's Arrival'. It couldn't have been because you feared that you might die. Was it because you were wary of each other?”
Demigods, to some extent, boasted an external life. The recoil on the soul and the body was certainly not a big deal. Therefore, Lucien speculated that the more 'God's Arrival' was used, the weaker the soul would be and the more likely that they would be swallowed by 'themselves'.
In that case, Viken, or the pope, would be even more terrifying than he thought. He was probably the strongest of all demigods if he had his platinum staff.
The monster smiled but did not reply. There was no telling whether he would rather not say it or he had been restrained. ”So, you'd better not try to become a demigod in this way. You don't want to fight yourself every day, do you?”
Lucien smiled. ”I have my own direction. I will not walk on the path that is possibly wrong.”
He was not certain that it was wrong because his research hadn't proved so. He was merely rephrasing Silver Moon Alterna's narration.
Also, based on his knowledge and his feelings just now, Lucien vaguely thought that Thanos and Viken had both regarded assistances as the key but ignored what was really critical to becoming a demigod, exactly like what the Lord of Hell mocked before.
”You seem very confident. Then, I wouldn't project myself into your body and help you perform 'God's Arrival', which will make your soul corrupted by me. Alright, such a status can last ten minutes. When you turn back, you will no longer be the intruder now, and I won't kill you. However, you'd better not touch other things, or my restraints may be activated and get you into serious trouble.” The monster reminded him. For him, it was already a success if Lucien could learn Viken's secrets and make it out alive.
He didn't find Douglas and the rest of them because they were too strong and tended to be greedy. The monster knew desires very well.
Lucien nodded his head. ”Alright.”
He was truly confident about himself. Just now, the status transformation gave him the hope of improving to level-two legendary very soon. More importantly, he vaguely understood and grasped something through the ritual, which shed light on his future development.
”I suggest you take a look at the Chamber of Immortality.” The monster suddenly said, ”Most of the dangers on the way have been eliminated by Thanos, Viken and me. You should be able to reach it safely. It's a shame that none of us understood what we saw. That's why Viken has been eager to capture the Silver Moon and the Lord of Hell, hoping to find a way to make up for the insidious problems from them.”
Rhine smiled. ”Are you resorting to the strategy of numbers, wagering on the possibility that some of them could see through the mysteries of immortality?”
”Don't be so blunt.” The monster turned into Rhine's look and teased him, showing no sign that he was a murderous monster. However, Lucien was still quite wary of him. He understood people very well, was born from an assortment of feelings, and melted part of Viken's negative personalities. He was a natural 'devil'. He was only so convivial because he was stranded in this place. If he made it out alive…
Lucien nodded. ”In fact, I would pay a visit to the Chamber of Immortality even if you didn't mention it, Mr. Monster. It's not easy to be transformed into such a state.”
Rhine naturally had no objection. That was his purpose when he explored the World of Souls for the first time.
When Lucien and Rhine went to the pathway of immortality through the Realm of Gates, the monster smiled and said to himself, ”I have to fight other people now…”
Thanos' laboratory became quiet again. From the pure, scorching light of the defense, a shadow suddenly crept out. In a white long robe with scarlet eyes and an eternal mocking smile on his lips, he was exactly 'Geno', the embodiment of the Lord of Hell!
”Had I known this, I would have come in directly instead of covering my trace with the air of Silver Moon on Lucien.” The Lord of Hell shrugged with a smile and jumped into the pit, activating the magic circle again.
Obvious cracks appeared as the magic circle began to function. After this time, the magic circle probably could never be used again.
...
Recovering from his wounds, 'Mecantron' snorted, ”Hehe. That monster Viken wanted the emperor with the blood power of 'Angel King' to stall Mecantron? That's really the greatest joke!”
As he spoke, his wounds were recovered, and his body was twisted into unpredictable transparency.
”What's inside the Chamber of Immortality? I can't remember it at all…”
”However, I do remember that this is the way to go into the Chamber of Immortality…”
