144 Test part 1 (1/2)

Having stepped into the portal, Rei blinked a few times as he readjusted his sights.

Opening them once more, Rei was greeted with the familiar view of a wide plane filled with orbs representing the different worlds.

”Bai Wu, this is what I was talking ab-!!!” Rei said as he turned to Bai Wu but widened his eyes when he realised that she wasn't there.

Rei felt his mind stop as fear gripped his heart.

”Oi.” The war god grabbed Rei by the shoulder as his voice brought him back to reality.

”Bu-”

”Don't worry, she's just been taken by another god. Tch I suppose this would have happened when me, the element god and war saint took notice of your little group.” The war god cut in as he clicked his tongue in irritation.

”Your little wife was taken by the beast god, it isn't unusual for spirit animals to train up like your wife and this beast god feels responsible to guide them. She's....odd at best, but I can assure that your little wife would be safe with her.” The war god said as he let go of Rei who was still feeling nervous.

”Though this works out well for us as well. She won't distract you from getting stronger. Not to mention she's way too weak right now, the beast god will train her up good just like how war saint is training up the lass Eve.”

Rei's ears perked up as he heard the familiar name.

”Eve, where is she right now?” He asked quickly.

”She's in a place where all of the gods successor's are to train herself. It is also where we are going.” The war god said as another portal opened up in front of them.

”You'll be taken part of a preliminary test to enter the realm, there are only so many people that can enter the realm so it's selection through survival of the fittest.” The war god explained as he brought Rei to a plaza.

Rei was overwhelmed by the amount of energy in the surroundings, just by standing here Rei felt like he was getting stronger by the second.

The war god smirked seeing Rei already improving by just being in a better area for training.

”So we waited this long for a mere Divine rank 2? War god explain yourself.” A voice rang out as Rei turned his head to the source.

A person which looked like an young adult spoke as he gaze was filled with contempt. His hair was pure black, eyes which radiated blood thirst, lean outer appearance and wore cloth armour that didn't restrict his movements.

”Oh he's no mere Divine rank 2, Killing god.” The war god replied with a slight laugh.

”In a battle with Rank 5s and above and you say a rank 2 is no mere rank 2? Do you have a screw loose in your head?” The Killing god said as the war god only laughed.

”Then you can use one of your candidates to test him. Rei, this is your ticket to find Eve so don't disappoint me.” The war god encouraged as Rei only nodded since he could only follow along with the current situation.

'Just you wait.' Rei thought as he walked to a clearing where his enemy is waiting.

”War god, you've never even taken a rank 8 genius in your eyes from the higher realms so what makes this rank 2 so special?” The killing god asked.

”Hahaha, then have you ever seen a person which smelled of death so much even though he should be inexperienced? I can tell he has gone through war, no just any small war from a small world, but multiple large scale wars. Dimensional ones, he may not realise it but his combat experience had carried over from his past lives, every move he makes, he may think it's through his training but it was already engraved into his soul. Though it's rather strange I can't tell who he was, it's like someone has purposely hidden it.” The war god said as he kept his eyes on Rei.

The killing god grew serious hearing the war god.

”Then you should know an unknown like him is very dangerous right? Especially since if he is as powerful as you say.” The killing god warned.

”Of course...but that just makes him a better candidate to succeed me.” The war god gave a menacing grin which caused slight shiver's to go through the killing gods spine.

”You! This is a thin line you're walking and it could break at any moment.” The killing god said gritting his teeth.

”But isn't that more...Thrilling?” The war god replied giving the killing god a side glance.

”Crazy bastard.” The killing god squeezed out as he put focus on the spar.

Rei stood in his spot seemingly relaxed but he was prepared to attack at a moments notice.

'Divine rank 5... 3 stages above me currently.' He thought.

His opponent in front of him wore black clothing which covered his entire body except for his blood red eyes.

'I'll take the initiative!' Rei thought as instantly applied some seals to his body to increase his speed to the max.

Bringing out Kyoki before anyone noticed, Rei had already slashed the opponent in half.

'No feeling!!!' Rei though as he instantly had his guard up.

'After images at this level, this guy's speed is far above me.' Rei thought as he send out his senses but could only catch shadows of the enemy.

'But....' Rei paused his thoughts as a long forgotten grin appeared on his face.

'Who said I can't deal with it?'

With a monstrous punch, Rei shattered the area around them as deep fissures appeared everywhere.

His opponent had understood the problem as he jumped upwards.

”GO!” Rei shouted as hundred upon hundreds of golden chains shot up towards his opponent. With the improvement of his abilities, Enkidu seemed as if it had transformed into dragons.

Slamming his hands together, seals appeared blocking off the area around his opponent.

'Thousand dragon array!' Rei thought as he combined both abilities together. With Enkidu, as long as one chain touched his opponent, their divine power would be restrained. As for the seal not only did it block them off, it also created illusions of the chains and teleported them around the area.

”Oi war god! How can he have the chains?!” The killing god interrogated angrily.

”Why can't he have the chains? Hahaha” The war god laughed.

”You should know that the abilities that the system god gives can only be interpreted into a weakened version. If not the person's body could simultaneously explode due to the ability. So why does he have one of the most wanted ability, Enkidu?!” The killing god gritted his teeth.

”Did I not tell you? He's chosen by three gods so far. Me, system god and element god.” The war god grinned.
