Divine Fetus
Mason and Dan, who were far away in the Golden Mountains, had no idea that someone was offering them good wishes.
Two days were enough for the duo to get into the middle of the mountain range and move forward deeper.
The Golden Tree, of which two were killed by them and one escaped, seemed to know that they were not easy to deal with and was not seen again along the way.
Apart from the occasional appearance of native mineral species, the journey was boring. The signal detection equipment did not move at all. If Dan had not had ancestors to protect, he would have gone to the territories of various monsters to cause trouble.
"The original species in the Kingdom of God [Mother of Ten Thousand Stones] are truly a shame to the monsters in the Kingdom of God."
Dan was so idle that he babbled to the people around him: "The native species in the kingdom of [Crimson Eyes] can accurately shoot across a small hill. Hiding is as exciting as having a dance party on the roof of the Garcia family; the kingdom of [Twisted Storm] is always filled with strong winds and heavy rains, and the smallest sea monsters are bigger than ships."
"But I think the best is the kingdom of the God of War and Strength. He is worthy of being one of the twelve gods. The kingdom of God only needs to keep climbing up and challenging, fighting all kinds of strong men. If the twelve gods have another dispute, I will definitely support him to defeat the God of the Burning Sun and ascend to the top of the gods."
"Looking at the kingdoms of God I've been to, the [Mother of Ten Thousand Stones] is simply a disgrace among disgraces. We've already climbed half of the Golden Mountains, and there's still no interesting opponent. You know, even the weakest [Crimson Eyes], the monster in his kingdom, could hit me in ambush on another mountain with one blow, blowing off my entire right arm..."
Mason was speechless as he recalled the past with such lingering feelings that he couldn't help but wonder if the other person had some kind of masochism.
It seemed that Dan's piety moved fate, and in the following days, they encountered various powerful creatures one after another.
A stone porcupine that can manipulate gold and cause explosions from a distance.
A sphinx-like monster with immense strength, agility and agility.
In response to Dan's wish, a golden snake as thin as a little finger and extremely venomous almost bit him as it passed under the tree.
......
Without using the holy weapons, Mason had a hard time dealing with these monsters. He used the power of [Luo] and tried to return to his subconscious.
The barrier standing here was motionless, the dim starlight was hazy, and it was indifferent to Mason's temptation. He vaguely felt that there would be trouble using the holy weapon in the kingdom of God, but he didn't know what the problem was.
Dan was very concerned about this and took the initiative to take on most of the combat tasks... I really believed you. Look at this guy's face full of happiness and worry. Who can't see how happy he is fighting?
Mason rolled his eyes, and it felt like he was looking at the stupid son of a landlord.
The young man at this moment did not know that this was not just happening in the Golden Mountains.
Rocky Mountains, Iron Mountains, Silver Mountains...
Similar monster riots occurred wherever humans set foot. Powerful monsters continued to pour out, separating the Bloodline people who stayed in the mountains from the camp.
No one knows where they came from, and when the last road was blocked by the native species, the mineral mountains have become a lost place.
Many bloodline members died in the attack, and the camp lost control of the Kingdom of God's resource base, and there was constant unrest inside.
The bloodline members who went out for adventure were only worried about where to go next. They stayed in the mountains for a long time, but still found no response from the instruments. After some discussion, the two decided to return to the camp temporarily to exchange some new materials.
To their surprise, the return trip was not as easy as they had imagined.
The sharp sword flashed and collided with the stone teeth protruding from the ground. The red-haired young man took advantage of the situation to jump out of the encirclement, and several huge stone guards swung their weapons in an attempt to knock him down.
They are an evolution of the Stonemen, wearing tough armor made of rock and learning how to use weapons.
Without the weapon enhancement, Mason obviously felt that his chopping power was insufficient. He dodged the pursuit and shouted loudly: "Dan!"
“Here I come!”
Dan stood on the tree, aiming his gun at the floating humanoid hiding behind the boulder guard. The latter raised his hands high, with layers of stone teeth as a barrier. As a monster with the blood of Ace, it is much better than the latter in terms of spell control.
Unfortunately, Dan's shooting skills were very good, and the special bullet hit the stone tooth head-on. The moment the two came into contact, the bullet instantly exploded and destroyed the solid stone, and the next one took advantage of the momentum to pass through the smoke and hit the monster that was unable to dodge.
As the price of casting spells, its body was extremely fragile and it was killed instantly by the shot.
Without the firepower to control him from a distance, Mason and Dan worked together to deal with the remaining guards. Then he squatted on the ground, panting.
Dan was in a better situation than him, picking up materials from the monsters: "There are more and more of these guys."
"Remember the corpses of the Bloodline we saw earlier? The monsters that attacked them were not supposed to be out there."
"It sounds terrible, like a pocket that's wrapping us up."
Dan joked that things were worse than he'd said. A large number of monsters blocked their way back to the camp, and without Mason's full strength, a breakout became impossible.
Thanks to their adequate preparation before entering the mountains, both weapons and food were sufficient. However, after another day, the two had to find another way out and go deep into the mountains.
Before leaving, they cleared a group of monsters and did not collect food, in order to create a safe environment for the bloodline people who might return. Afterwards, the duo continued to move forward towards the place they had chosen earlier.
There are fewer bloodline people deep in the mountains, and food is plentiful, so it has become safer after a large number of monsters flooded out.
The ground deep in the mountains was no longer shimmering with golden glitter, but had turned into real gold. To the people in the Kingdom of God, these precious metals had lost their value because they were everywhere. Those who were able to enter the Kingdom of God did not care about these little things, but were more willing to seek power. As time went by, not many people cared about how extravagant this was.
Dan, who was used to seeing all kinds of treasures, even complained a few times about his sore eyes.
They had gathered enough food, and the troublesome monsters nearby had been eliminated. Even if there was any problem, they could escape immediately. It seemed that Judan was extremely safe.
For some reason, Mason always had a vague sense of urgency, reminding him that something was coming. Every minute, every second, every moment, urging him to do something quickly.
Driven by a strong desire, he took Dan to explore the edge of the activity zone, desperately honing his combat skills and looking for the root cause of the change.
However, it was in vain. Even though the two of them dominated the area, they could not find the target. Only he knew that he was getting closer and the time was very short.
Just as he expected, the change came quickly.
On the third day after the two men entered the depths of the mountains, amidst the shocked or solemn gazes of countless people, the sky cracked open.
A thin crack appeared in the center of the soft pink sac, and then it grew bigger and bigger as the struggle inside continued. This scene reminded people of a uterus in labor or a baby animal trying to break free of the sac and stand up.
"Oh my God... Could this be the offspring of the Mother Goddess mentioned in the scriptures..."
Ace in the ground stared at the scene in a daze, and his mind couldn't help but recall his mother's teachings. He didn't have time to think too much, and a strong heartbeat sounded from his body, from the bodies of the descendants of believers who once believed in the "Mother of Ten Thousand Stones", and from the bodies of all those who inherited the blood of the creatures in the Kingdom of God.
He heard his own shuddering breath, his soul screaming at him to flee, but his body refused to obey. He offered it a prayer of great devotion and sweetness.
The sky opened its eyes and looked at them. How could one describe His appearance? All human imagination and words could not describe His outline. His first cry was the destruction and rebirth of the world.
Anyone who sees Him should kneel on the ground and cry, thanking that such a divine gift can be given in this life. No one knows how He came, but at this moment, He really appeared in front of everyone.
There were no signs, no warning.
Countless images flashed through people's minds, all of which were of their own death: as long as He was born, the entire Kingdom of God would be destroyed. But who could stop the birth of the divine fetus? Who could stop the world from crying?
The eyes behind the slits moved, and He tried to break through the obstacles. The sound of cloth being stretched to its limit echoed repeatedly, and all the ore creatures and bloodline beings froze in place, their faces filled with twisted fear and frenzy.
——No, there are still people who can maintain their sanity.
A loud bang exploded in the mission hall of the camp, and purple lightning was thrown out, rushing straight towards the gap in the high place!
This attack was so powerful and overwhelming that it tore a huge scar in the clouds. The thunder rushed into the gap, and a few seconds later, a strong wind wave suddenly rose there. The compressed power of the bloodline exploded in front of the divine fetus, and the latter was hit so hard that he closed his eyes.
Just when everyone thought it worked, He sobbed.
To the divine fetus, this was indeed just a sob. But to humans, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow. Many people fell straight down, their consciousness shattered and blurred by the echo.
As the main attacker, the S-rank bloodline suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes widened in horror, and his head began to transform into hard ore. His sanity collapsed completely, and he only uttered a sharp and terrifying warning from the depths of his throat.
"He, pollutes—"
The distorted voice was unable to finish the rest of the words before the lead-gray stone layer covered its lips. Under the horrified gaze, the strongest bloodline in the camp turned into a skinny stone statue, paying for his offense to the gods with his life.
There was dead silence all around.
The sky began to tremble again, and this time no one dared to respond. Far away in the Golden Mountains, Dan stared at the changing sky, and his face changed for the first time since he came to the Kingdom of God: "We are in trouble. Just now, my connection with my ancestors was cut off."
The upper echelons of the camp also immediately sought support from outside the Kingdom of God, but were shocked to find that the [tickets] were no longer valid.
They can communicate with the outside world, but the ownership has been returned to the owner of the Kingdom of God. The mountain range standing at the entrance has become a solid entity, and those inside cannot get out, and those outside cannot get in.
There is one exception.
The translucent giant walks across the rippled ocean, where human consciousness flows, and thoughts turn into fragments like fish swimming in the sea. He swims here as if in the light, carrying the concerns of his family members, and approaches his goal loyally and silently.
Luo's consciousness quickly stopped and stared at the changes in the distance. A solid wall that even he would be afraid of stood at the end of the ocean, casting a starlight like a lighthouse.
At this moment, the red-haired young man was standing in front of the wall with his back to him, his hand pressed against the wall.
The flowing starlight changed silently. They merged into the sea, like a warm but not burning flame. Luo smelled a strange and powerful breath. For the first time, the existence on the other side of the wall emitted such a clear will. Dan was talking in a low voice, and suddenly felt that the breath of the person next to him had changed.
The red-haired man's eyes were startlingly bright. He looked at the crack and murmured in a low voice. The nobleman came closer to hear what he was saying.
“So this is it…”
Before Dan could figure out what the other party was saying, he heard an unquestionable command: "Give me a bow."
Apparently, this was addressed to him.
Dan opened his mouth and quickly closed it. He felt a chill on his back, as if speaking out would cause something bad to happen. The sensitivity of living things to natural enemies made him do as he was told. The pale bones pierced through the skin, forming a longbow and arrow, which were respectfully handed to the young man.
The other party took it without saying a word. The arrow pierced his palm and scarlet blood flowed along his bones, outlining intricate and gorgeous patterns.
At the moment when blood gushed out of the skin, the divine fetus high in the sky suddenly turned its head and stared at where they were.
Following His will, the air in the Kingdom of God became bone-chillingly cold, and the heaven and earth were rejecting their existence. Dan had to take several steps back before he could stand. The red-haired young man who was fighting alone stood still, with the tip of his arrow pointing at the god in the sky, his eyes sharp.
"His blood is silver, and his bones are gold. And all that watered his bones and blood is his armor."
The voice of divine prayer rose up, confronting the hostility of the divine fetus. The blood rushed through his body, and he finally understood where this throbbing came from.
It's not fear, it's desire.
His coming was not accidental, but the accumulation of countless days and months and a wedge. He wanted to eat him, and he also longed for him. The two sides were born enemies.
The existence on the other side of the wall was stirring, reminding him that his flesh, his body, and his blessings all needed to be devoured by Him. Hunger entangled his brain. The red-haired young man loosened his fingers, and the arrow flew into the sky like lightning.
