Chapter 199: Magic Against Gods

This time, the grace came for an unusually long time. John could feel the expanding energy on the other side of the Crimson Ring, just like watching the raging flames in a hot furnace. The crimson stars that continuously exploded in the void pushed the energy to a level that made the sorcerer feel numb.

Whenever John thought that the growth of divine power had reached the end and was about to enter the stage of exhaustion, a stronger fluctuation would shatter John's view at a new peak.

The sorcerer once thought that the Crimson God would explode under the surge of power. The light released from the other side was as bright as the blazing sun, which hurt his eyes.

If it were in the past, John Kemp would pray that the evil god would die of indigestion when he saw the indigestion of the Crimson God. Now, the sorcerer who has understood the nature of the Crimson God only hopes that He will be strong for a while, at least give his grace first and then explode.

For the matter of the lord refusing to pay, Virtis can be less humane.

John's prayer seemed to be answered. As a narrow energy ray released from the crimson nebula disappeared into the void, a bloated spell energy body rushed towards the crimson ring along the link.

The gift of sacrificing a god has surpassed the advent ceremony released by John Kemp before, and this powerful gift is not used to corrupt a piece of land and thousands of lives, but only acts on the sorcerer.

John heard the sound of bones cracking in his body. The dragon blood was pumped out quickly in the violent beating heartbeat. Every muscle was under pressure. The shaky body made John feel that he was about to return to the original starting point, back to the fragile stage where the bones could not support the weight and would break at the slightest impact.

The sorcerer survived, and his quickly healed body was intoxicated with the pleasure of gaining powerful strength.

John Kemp got a new spell.

[Shadow of Cyclonfas]: The sorcerer can now awaken the shadow attached to the body.

Characteristic 1: Paranoid Revenge: Shadow makes the warlock's crimson spell have the magical effect of [Depravity]. After release, it causes divine damage according to the target's divine power level and ignores legendary resistance. Shadow will weaken the control effect of divine damage reduction.

Characteristic 2: Lie Mirror: Warlock can exchange states with Shadow. The initial state of Shadow is the same as that of Warlock, and the loss will be restored after a natural day.

Characteristic 3: Hidden Conspiracy: Shadow gives the warlock the characteristic of physical shadow. When not in combat, the warlock can hide in the shadow and move without ignoring object collision. The stealth state is more difficult to be detected.

Characteristic 4: Reappearance of the Past: Shadow can leave the warlock's body and transform into the afterimage of Cyclonface under control, with its original crimson spells and casting skills, and other characteristics of Shadow.

John summons Cyclonface's Shadow.

The sorcerer saw the vague shadow under his feet suddenly become clear, and the shadow began to wriggle, floating up like a dark ghost, and condensed into a vague shape of a humanoid creature in front of John. The demon shadow had no facial features, just a fixed shadow. John tried to touch the red and black demon shadow, and it immediately attracted to the sorcerer's fingers like a magnet, without any touch, like a colored air.

John, who was in the state of possession, tried to control the blood to gather in his hands. He clearly felt a little shadow blending into the blood. This spell, which only used a small amount of mana, produced a faint sense of threat under the sorcerer's scrutiny.

The hatred of Cyclonfas formed a divinity, which was also effective for John himself as a crimson follower. I can't believe what kind of damage it would cause to other divine creatures. The sorcerer has not found a suitable experimental subject for the time being.

If the God of Sacrifice had such a divine suppression before, he might bring more trouble to John.

"It's amazing, Cyclonfas, the crimson power will always become very powerful without you."

John Kemp laughed mercilessly at the demon shadow.

The ritual red mist dissipated after the sacrifice. When John digested the new knowledge, his vision around him was clear, revealing the tragic scene of the broken world. The clouds were cut into several sections, as if the world was filled with misty red smoke in the dark night. The deepest blood-red abyss was dimming. The arrangement of the God of Sacrifice for this world was invalid after the death of the Creator.

This world is heading towards eternal extinction after death.

"John?"

A voice came from behind. Vivian covered her head and climbed up from the floor. The complete defeat of the God of Sacrifice made the female vampire who was originally a ritual sacrifice regain consciousness. Her consciousness was still at the time when she was swallowed by the Holy Grail. Vivian fell into darkness and could not perceive the outside world. When she opened her eyes again, the sorcerer was standing not far away.

"I only remember that I defeated Morgan. What happened next?"

John briefly summarized it.

"Yes, you defeated Morgan, and you did a good job. Morgan's death made the mastermind behind everything, the God of Sacrifice, Cyclonephas, appear. I defeated Him and won the final victory."

Vivian looked at John's smiling face. The sorcerer's smug expression surprised Vivian, but she breathed a sigh of relief and enjoyed the comfort of everything being over.

"So, you became the new God of Blasphemy?"

"No, I didn't." John walked to the edge of the stone slab and looked down at the dim blood-red abyss. "The power of blasphemy is the pit dug by the God of Sacrifice in this world. It is the power of creation used by Cyclonephas to shape this world. It is the kingdom of God that fabricates lies based on the authenticity of the gods themselves."

"But the problem is that the gods are watching covetously outside the crystal wall of the world. They will not allow the power of blasphemy to flow into the main material world and threaten to shake their faith. Absorbing the power of blasphemy will only have two consequences. Repair the world barrier and be left behind forever. If this world is sealed like Seclonfas, or if the world is broken and the divine power is leaked, the gods will attack the god of blasphemy, so these divine powers are a hot potato, whoever wants them wants them. I do not want."

John folded his arms and expressed his disgust for the dead Seclonfas. This must be part of the conspiracy of the God of Sacrifice. Even if he fails, the new successor will have to face the same situation as him, being sealed by the gods, or being attacked by a group, as a push to achieve his goal. of revenge.

Seclonfas planned his plot carefully, but unfortunately his extraordinary wisdom also made the god show a pathological paranoia about the rules, which eventually led to his sacrifice.

Vivian saw John's attitude. She also came to the edge of the stone slab and looked down, but not at the most conspicuous abyss, but at the building fragments floating in the air, everything torn apart.

“So what happens if you don’t choose either option?”

John shrugged.

"The blasphemous divine power of the Master will not cause too much trouble to the gods. They should use their own divine power to neutralize the blasphemy and keep everything under control."

Vivian understood what John meant. The corruption of the Crimson Power still exists in the main material world, and there is no such thing as "neutralization". Erasing this blasphemous carrier by the power of the gods, erasing everything, is the result faced by this broken world.

Noticing Vivian's depression, John kindly patted his companion on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Don't worry, there is still time for the power of blasphemy to be completely leaked. Before the gods start, we must have left here safely."
