Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chen Hong scoffed, "A bunch of skeletons in a tomb, what am I afraid of?" (Continued from Chapter 588)
Pandora sighed, "Fine, fine, I know you're formidable, okay?"

But this place is too close to the realm of gods, and there are too many ancient monsters from various pantheons there. Let's play it safe, let's play it safe.

Chen Hong remained dismissive. The divine powers here operate on a mechanics; scaring them away like birds and beasts, forcing them to hide forever, would be disastrous.

After all, the various powers and mechanisms in mythology are incredibly diverse; there's nothing they can't do, only things you can't imagine—they're simply too comprehensive.

The gods here are all disguised, appearing in various roles, and are a combination of many mythological figures, possessing comprehensive and powerful abilities.

Although the numbers aren't great, there's no need to completely condemn everything to the opposite side.

If I could subdue all the mythological pantheons and study their power mechanisms, wow, just thinking about it is a little exciting.

What an enormous fortune that would be!

If one could truly gather all the functional concepts and run a sandplay, the number of such concepts would be at least a single digit, or at least a double digit.

Moreover, these gods, who are based on Earth's human mythology, are not incapable of increasing their numerical values.

As long as human civilization ventures beyond Earth and spreads across the cosmos, the gods can expand their power to the cosmic level, causing it to surge wildly.

"Perhaps I can unify the major pantheons and establish a pantheon on a multiverse level?"

Chen Hong was filled with thoughts. According to his memory, in the later stages of the Godslayer world, many parallel universes appeared, and the worldview expanded to the level of a multiverse.

If one uses the special power of the gods, wouldn't it be possible to take a shortcut, first to the multiverse, then to the universe?

Doesn't that mean he surpasses other Chen Hongs in some aspects?
With this in mind, Chen Hong began to take matters of the gods seriously.

"Pandora, aren't you going to perform the Godslayer Reincarnation Ritual? Hurry up and begin."

"What an impatient child," Pandora muttered to herself as she rummaged through her clothes and pulled out a disc.

"Here, this is my most precious treasure—the Ring of Usurpation."

Pandora was very proud, showing off the artifact in her hand, which was engraved with the image of a dragon and a snake, with eight sword marks arranged around the edge of the ring, as well as intricate runes.

"This is an extremely precious artifact, the very foundation upon which a god-slayer can be born. It can seize the power of a dead god and bestow it upon humanity, allowing them to be reborn as a god-slayer."

However, only if humans defeat the gods themselves can it be in accordance with the rules and they can usurp the gods' power.

"Then... let's get started!"

Pandora said no more and directly activated the [Ring of Usurpation] to perform the [Godslayer Reincarnation Ritual].

The phantom images of the two gods killed by Chen Hong, the God of War Veleslana and the God King Mercato, appeared.

They were used as sacrifices to initiate the ritual, usurping his power and transferring it to Chen Hong.

But it got stuck halfway through the ceremony.

"Hiss! How come even the Ring of Usurpation couldn't transform you into a god-slayer and grant you power?"

"Is your physical body made of the Creation God Iron? It's so hard."

Pandora was shocked and struggled to maintain the ring of usurpation. It wouldn't even turn, and the feeling of being stuck was really uncomfortable.

Chen Hong suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot, my essence is too high. Even if it's just a physical instinct, it can resist your divine artifact modification ritual." "Wait a minute, let me restrain myself."

"All right."

Chen Hong adjusted his body and controlled a portion of his magical power to actively cooperate with the ritual of usurping the ring.

Furthermore, they continuously reverse-engineer the structure of the artifact "Ring of Usurpation" and the secrets of the Great Ritual of Reincarnation of the Godslayer.

Analysis progress 1%, 2%, 3%...

The ceremony finally managed to keep going, albeit with a clattering, old-fashioned car.

When it comes to usurping the matching power, the ritual should automatically match the most suitable power according to personality, talent, and desire.

However, because Chen Hong was so comprehensive and amazing, all the powers and abilities were lining up to seek his attention.

[Strong wind] [Bull] [White horse] [Camel] [Wild boar] [Boy] [Phoenix] [Aries] [Goat], and [Warrior holding a golden sword].

[Storm] [King of the Sea] [Sun] [Life] [King of the Sky] [Thunder] [Flood] [Legion of the Dead].

One by one, these powers, radiating golden light, graciously approached.

Chen Hong thought for a moment and chose the [Eastern War God] power for Vereslana, which immediately included ten incarnations. It seemed like ten powers, but in reality, it was only one power.

Because Chen Hong is an all-around genius, he has a high degree of adaptability and affinity to various powers.

Therefore, even if Chen Hong's personality is not as 'tolerant' and 'kind' as Kusanagi Godou's, he can still obtain the power of the Eastern War God, which includes ten incarnations.

Among them, the "Warrior with a Golden Sword" is undoubtedly the most overpowered protagonist skill among the God of War's powers. What Chen Hong values ​​most is this power's ability to tear apart the divine essence, which can be used as a surgical scalpel to dissect the divine essence of gods, or even to launch special attacks against gods.

As long as you know the details of your opponent's mythology, you can chant incantations that transform into golden sword light to sever the opponent's divine essence. It is indeed a god-specific attack, with buffs stacked up to the maximum.

Secondly, there is the [Aries] incarnation, whose ability is to be reborn and resurrected after dying once. Although it has the condition of being severely injured and only able to be used in the instant before death, it is still favored by Chen Hong as a skill that can revive oneself.

Among the many powers of the God-King Mercator, Chen Hong chose the power of the [King of the Sky].

The authority over the sky is a power that only gods and kings can attain, and its status is naturally very high. It represents the heavens and is a symbol of patriarchal authority.

[King of the Sky: Can control the sky and celestial phenomena; all wind, rain, thunder, and lightning born in the sky can be brought under control. Symbolizing the majesty of the heavens, it is a power at the level of a god-king.]

For an immortal god, although giving away a power would prevent them from using that power, their divine essence remains unchanged, and their physical body in the divine realm will not be greatly affected.

Once the god-slayer dies, the power will naturally return to its rightful owner.

Power is like a concept of authority. Possessing this authority allows one to invoke the corresponding power of heaven and earth to achieve miraculous effects.

Simply put, gods are all power-hungry dogs.

They were originally primordial spirits (similar to primordial deities) born from heaven and earth, wandering the earth and causing natural disasters to humankind.

Humans feared them, so they created all sorts of myths, bestowed upon them various divine roles, and assigned them corresponding spheres of authority.

Mythology is a ritual. While the gods acquire names and myths, they cannot overstep their bounds. Whether they bestow favors upon humanity or retaliate against humankind, they will not exceed the scope of their duties.

Humans cannot change the gods, but they can change mythology, thereby indirectly influencing the gods. (End of Chapter)
