Chapter 505: Two-sided Confrontation (1)
“Hehe, yeah, you will receive the highest honor for being the catalyst for the forbidden summoning ritual.” Magnus immediately caught his daughter before she fell to the ground. “Kashim, take her to that altar.”
“Yes, my lord.” The armored man then lifted the woman and carried her up the altar by walking in the air. The woman who had fainted was left levitated there, and he went away to a safe distance.
Simultaneously, Magnus examined the altar by going around it several times while using his magic vision. He then took out several rubber pouches from his Space Bag. He poured the thick red liquid around the altar carefully to form a circle with a hexagram.
“I think this is more than enough. Let’s proceed to the next stage.” Magnus checked back into the foundation of the forbidden ritual. After confirming that the magic circle was perfect, he took out several yellow talismans with complicated red runes and placed them around the hexagram.
Several crystals and energy cores were also placed around the ritual circle to supply power. With that, Magnus took a few steps back with a big smile on his face.
“This is the day when the world will be shaken once again, like what happened to the lost era. Rise up, o almighty lord of the absolute divinity sealed beneath this sealing altar. I, Magnus Walsh, summon you back to this world!” Magnus raised both his hands and shouted.
He activated his ritual ceremony by channeling a large amount of magic energy. The formation began to supply tremendous power to the center of the altar, right where his daughter levitated.
The ritual circle lit up with fiery red color, and a blinding red light shone to illuminate the entire hall.
A suffocating and oppressive black aura slowly began to emerge from within the altar. The thick smell of blood followed shortly after.
*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*
Several incisions appeared out of nowhere and injured the unconscious woman. Fresh blood dripped onto the altar.
*Crack*
At that very instant, a small crack appeared on the altar, and some black auras erupted out with greater intensity.
The forbidden ritual lasted only fifteen seconds before the dazzling red light dimmed, and the black aura couldn’t be seen anywhere anymore. The crystals and energy cores lost their color and crumbled to dust.
Magnus lowered his hands and opened his eyes. He looked left and right in confusion.
“Did my forbidden ritual fail? After all the preparations I’ve made for over ten years? Is the supply of crystals and energy cores insufficient to break the divine seal?” Magnus then looked at his daughter and narrowed his eyes.
“Hmm…” The unconscious woman let out a strange sound.
Then, she opened her mouth to speak with her eyes closed. However, her voice was more like a deep old man’s voice than a woman’s. “Pure blood of a thousand people, a hundred high-grade crystals, and a hundred high-quality energy cores. You used the body of a weak woman as a catalyst to summon me to the world? Tell me, weak mortal, what kind of death do you wish for?”
“My name is Magnus Walsh. I summoned you to this world so that we could work together for a common cause. I know the purpose of the foreign divinity presence like you during the lost era. I am also aware of the influence on this world. Yes, including the sealed ground that has sealed off all of your herds.” Magnus frowned, but he answered eloquently with an intonation that was neither condescending nor superior.
“Ho? You seem to know a lot about us. Tell me what you know and your goals. Depending on your answer, I might not kill you.” The unconscious woman opened her eyes and looked at the fat man with a broad smile that reached her ears.
“You can’t kill me if you want to. My royal blood flows in your temporary body, Ruvoid God.” Magnus smirked and put his hands behind his back.
“Hmm?” The Ruvoid God frowned. He was indeed not at his full strength because only his spirit was summoned to the world while his body and soul were still sealed down there.
Even so, he didn’t believe that he couldn’t kill that weak old fatty, as said.
“Are you sure about that?” The Ruvoid God stretched out his hand and pointed his finger at the old fatty.
*Pew*
A black energy bullet shot from his finger, but it completely missed the target.
The Ruvoid God widened his eyes in disbelief. He was sure that he had aimed for that old fatty’s cheek and that it should have hit the target for a warning scratch. Was his accuracy gone, reduced to atoms because he was sealed for too long? Although a bit unsure, he decided to give it another try.
*Pew* *Pew*
This time, it was a double shot. Unfortunately, nothing hit the target or even came close to it. All of the warning attacks only hit the wall far behind.
“I already told you that, didn’t I? Why don’t you relax a bit and hear what I have to say? I have a guarantee you’ll be interested and willing to be my ally. A win-win exchange isn’t bad, is it?” Magnus looked back to examine the three holes in the wall, then he looked at the Ruvoid God again with a satisfied smile.
“A human who wants to cooperate with me? This sounds funny. You and the creatures of this world should be fighting against me to end in defeat, not joining my side.” The Ruvoid God lifted the corners of his lips in a disdainful smile.
“Those are the followers of the Gods and Goddess. Their numbers are nothing more than divinities, what can be expected of them? I am aware of the greatness of the Ruvoid Race and my mind has been enlightened since ten years ago. That is why I am here. I’m aware that the sealed ground out there will collapse in a few months.” Magnus looked up as if he had a profound insight.
“Hehe, hahaha! Not bad old fatty. Not bad, not bad. Are you also aware that the language you are currently speaking is the language of our race? It’s no longer the language of this world?” The Ruvoid God laughed heartily and felt quite interested.
“Well, that’s new information for me.” Magnus scratched his head.
“Well, tell me what you have. What kind of offer do you have to fuel your belief?” The Ruvoid God propelled his body to sit cross-legged and gave the old fatty a cue.
“Please listen to me to the end. It all started with–” Magnus then told the Ruvoid God many things about his reason and purpose. He then leaked some secrets and reported the current state of the world when it was asked.
After fifteen minutes had passed, the Ruvoid God stroked his chin and nodded. “I see… So, only three divinities survived, huh. Beast God, Devil God, and the Goddess of Blessings, hmm?”
“Yes, and as far as I know, all of them have weakened a lot from their heyday.” Magnus rubbed his hands together with an excited expression. He was sure that he had succeeded in getting this God’s attention to become his ally.
“Their weakened state? Then all situations are perfect and ripe! I can defeat the three of them easily! This world is doomed to fall under my race, keke…” The Ruvoid God clenched his fist with a creepy laugh.
After that, he looked at the old fatty and the armored man in the corner of the room. “Is that person your minion?”
“Yes, he is Kashim, my faithful slave.” Magnus nodded and signaled for his slave to approach.
“Very well… Your offers have caught my attention. For this, I will appoint you as the Human Emperor who will rule this world under my control. You can have as many beautiful girls of various races as you want, and the wealth of this world’s resources to your heart’s content.” The Ruvoid God raised his palm to declare his agreement.
“This lowly mortal will listen and obey all your orders, o almighty Ruvoid God.” Magnus immediately knelt down with one hand on his chest. His slave also knelt.
“Good. Let’s get out of this sealed area. I want to find a method to free my real body from this altar seal as soon as possible. This body will only tarnish my glory.” The Ruvoid God flew toward the exit. He then reminded his new followers. “Be careful with traps and mechanisms around this hall.”
“Understood.” Magnus immediately rushed to follow.
All of them did not trigger any traps or mechanisms at all and exited the hall effortlessly.
“Where are you going, mortals? What were you doing in that sealing hall just now?”
A calm male voice suddenly rang out from a distance. From behind the shadows of the blue torches, a semi-transparent blue human-like figure walked over casually as if this place was his home.
Magnus and Kashim became tense instantly. They didn’t know that someone was there. They began to think that the semi-transparent creature was the guardian of this place or maybe a ghost.
Meanwhile, the Ruvoid God frowned and immediately concealed his aura completely. He needed to find out the identity of the approaching creature.
On the other hand, Oceanid also frowned. He and his team managed to get into the deepest floor so quickly because of Nell’s insistence.
The Goddess of Light even destroyed many walls and mechanisms to speed up their travel because Nell repeatedly reminded them about the urgency of the situation.
And at this time, a group of humans in question was in front of him. Three humans just got out of what was supposed to be the most dangerous sealing place made by his old friend.
