Chapter 46 (2/2)

Once the supernatural power fell into its hands, his only chance would be gone.

To find this supernatural power, he’d spent countless hours, more than half a year, on disguising himself and ambushing its prior owners. In order to deal with the church of the Brutal Hunter (the nickname of the God of Hunting and Holocaust), he had spent all of his family’s fortune and cheated a large number of ruthless people who were desperate to make money by way of theft. To this end, for all the favors he had asked of others over the years, he now owed a lot of favors in return, which brought him a large number of enemies. In the end, he’d penetrated deep into the dangerous Gobi desert to chase and kill the devout followers of Brutal Hunter, covering thousands of kilometers and deeply offending the cruel god.

According to his plans, it was best to run to the southeast of the mainland after finishing this job, and he even considered moving to some faraway land to live…but in his opinion, it was all worth it. As long as his plan could be successfully implemented, or if he could only have that chance, it was worth it!

However, all efforts had now turned into bubbles! If not for his tenacity and ultra-strong self-discipline, he may have desperately rushed forward, wanting to fight with that bizarre jellyfish and snatch back the supernatural power—of course, in fact, just to die in vain.

He did not want to die, so he had no choice but to endure.

Sui Xiong carefully studied the column of crystal, but could not see exactly how to extract the supernatural power inside. He also could not see what the origin of the supernatural power was. He finally had to ask the only person that had survived.

“This is the supernatural power of the Goddess of Life,” answered the man in black.

“Goddess of Life? I thought she met her demise long ago…” Sui Xiong casually said. Suddenly his body trembled as he understood this man’s plan.

He wanted to use this supernatural power to understand and grasp the origin of “life” and become a clergyman of “life”, thus becoming a god!

“Wow! You aren’t so powerful, but you really have great ambition!” Sui Xiong could not help but be amazed. “How can you dare try to be a clergyman of ‘life’ with such a humble ability? Have you ever thought, when you are apotheosized, that all the gods of death will come to attack you?

“Maybe, but I could be assigned by some godly system to become a sub-god,” the man in black answered.

“Why would they want to shelter you? Is it not simpler to kill you and deprive the position as a clergy?” Sui also asked. “Almost every system of gods has a clergy that can be linked to ‘life’. Why should we use you, an outsider, when we can make a loyal and powerful god by giving the position to someone else?”

The man in black kept silent for a while, and whispered, “I had to try.”

“I had to try”: this was his ambition and his dedication.

Sui Xiong sighed. “Let’s drop this and talk about another problem. I have checked that this crystal column is exceptionally solid. Even I cannot ensure that I can break it without damaging one of the supernatural powers. Do you have a solution?

“No, but I want to try.”

“So everything is just an attempt to you’?”

“That’s right, that’s all.”

“Just for the chance to try, you dared to fight against the God of Hunting and Holocaust?”

“Why not?” The eyes of the man in black flashed like a flame in the night. “I am a robber, and I never know which day I’ll die on the roadside while my soul goes to hell to accept my punishment. In contrast, the Brutal Hunter isn’t that terrible, is he? Could he be even more horrible than hell? ”

This time, Sui Xiong was silent, and after a while, he sighed, “I have seen many adventurers, but this is the first time I have seen one as persistent as you.”

“The world is so big, and there are always weird people and things,” the man in black said faintly. “So what are you going to do now? Kill me?”

“Killing the enemy isn’t my style. In fact, I’m more curious about you,” Sui Xiong smiled. “Anyway, you probably need to escape now, and it will be better to go with me to the South. If I break the secret of this crystal column en route, then maybe you will also benefit; even after we arrive at our destination, I’ll still have nothing to do with this crystal column, so at the least I can protect you so that you can successfully escape.”

The man in black sighed and bowed deeply. “This transaction is reasonable, and I have no objection.”

“Now, will you tell me your name?”

“Ray. This is my name. I also have a nickname, ‘Family Exterminator’.”
