Buddha God? The Buddha God Who Descended Three or Four Hundred Years Ago? Stakes
Buddha God?
Upon hearing the title of this deity...
Evileye a strange sense of familiarity; after a moment's careful recollection...
Finally, I remembered that in the Baharuth Empire, there was a Adamantite Rank adventurer team called "Silver Thread Bird," and one of their members was a believer in Buddha God.
This information was provided by Tia and her companion; the Baharuth Empire was essentially their Daben of operations.
It is said to be a little-known deity, while others say it is a subordinate of the Four Gods.
How exactly?
I don't pay much attention to Evileye anymore.
"Then... be more specific."
Banezeri "Abyss," had a thoughtful look in his two scarlet eyes, which flashed in the dim light. "I need to review this record again to obtain more information."
He couldn't understand why the Undead who possessed Eighth-Tier Magic would offer such a high price to obtain this information.
"Tenth-Tier Magic"...
Abyss 'Banezeri three arms trembled slightly; no matter how you looked at it, it felt somewhat unbelievable!
If the other party possesses such methods.
That's the legendary "god"... Is it really necessary to cooperate with such beings, especially considering the negative side effects of magic that could lead to invisibility?
Banezeri, the "Abyss," felt a mixture of excitement and fear, but more so, horror and doubt.
"I will take this intelligence back with me."
Evileye when the other person did not continue speaking, and understood the other person's inner feelings perfectly.
She knew it.
Such a stake would scare the other party away!
When Evileye first heard what Tang Zheng had to say, he was far more excited and terrified than Banezeri "Abyss" before him.
"There's one more thing... uh, never mind." Evileye opened his mouth, then continued:
"Let's leave this exchange for now. How about we have a second exchange in three days?"
She originally planned to use the Crimson Dragon Lord as leverage to inquire about the "Inveria Kingdom".
Now it's difficult to bring it up, since the other party is already intimidated. If they continue to ask questions, it might make them suspect that they are "liars."
If it affects Crimson Dragon Lord's investigation, then that would be troublesome.
"No, no problem. Then I'll take my leave."
"Abyss!" Banezeri's hoarse voice rang out instantly as he activated a Teleportation spell as if fleeing.
Swish!
The terrifying figure, radiating a strong aura of Negative Energy, vanished into thin air.
Evileye for a moment, hearing the word "retreat" still echoing in the room, but the figure had already disappeared.
--The border of the Inveria Kingdom.
A town in ruins.
Several days ago, Tang Zheng had already secretly set up the "Sacrifice - Spiral of Death Ritual" in this town.
When I first arrived in this country.
When Tang Zheng and Evileye were investigating all the cities and towns in the country, it wasn't just to find out if there were any unknown hidden enemies in these towns.
By understanding the situation in these towns
Tang Zheng chose this place, located on the border of the country, with a strong aura of Negative Energy and a large number of Undead.
"Undead with self-awareness are extremely valuable research subjects."
Tang Zheng placed Cassius Habakku, who was bound by Ninjutsu, at the very center of the ceremony and looked at the entire ceremony.
"Hiss!"
"Dumb!"
"Crunch..."
"Ahoo!"
All I saw was...
Inside the ritual area, there were over 100 Undead monsters with broken limbs, occasionally letting out roars to prevent them from moving.
"It still feels like it's lacking something."
Tang Zheng stood at the edge of the magical ritual, muttering to himself, "But it was just an experiment anyway, so it's enough."
Launching ceremony!
In an instant, a faint black light flickered in the ritual, and an invisible wave spread out, mobilizing the hundreds of Undead gathered in the ritual as well as the Negative Energy of this model text.
It transformed into a visible mass of gray haze, rapidly converging towards the center of the ceremony!
"What... what are you going to do?"
"Who are you, Negative Energy...? You can actually summon Negative Energy? What kind of ritual is this...? Ah, ah--"
Cassius Habakkuk struggled and screamed, his hoarse voice filled with terror and pleading.
But soon!
The terrified scream turned into a groan of pain.
Observing this change.
"An unexpected development." Tang Zheng stared at the scene before him, his brows furrowing slightly. "Yet, there's also an expected outcome."
The Undead are "representatives" of Negative Energy.
By using the power of rituals to inject large amounts of Negative Energy into the body of the Undead, theoretically only the latter will be strengthened.
Cassius Habakkuk's constant groans of pain clearly indicated that this was wishful thinking.
"In the Abelion Hills Incident, both the emergence of the Death Knight and the Soul Eater were the result of a large accumulation of Negative Energy."
Tang Zheng's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression:
"The Death Knight and Soul Eater that are born are actually unconscious entities, especially the Soul Eater transformed by Khajit, which has completely lost its self-awareness."
A brief pause.
Tang Zheng reached into the ritual vessel, then quickly withdrew it. The Body Armament on the dragon claw's surface already showed signs of slight corrosion.
"The living are corrupted by contact with Negative Energy. Undead are affected when they absorb Negative Energy."
It seems so.
His previous idea of using Negative Energy to enhance Evileye's strength was a bit too naive.
If the "Sacrifice: Spiral of Death Device" can enhance the power of the Undead by absorbing Negative Energy, why doesn't the Alliance Leader do the same?
It's only used to create high-level Undead monsters.
This is the crux of the problem!
"I'm becoming increasingly curious about the magical technology within [Corpus of the Abyss] that allows Evileye to obtain the [Degraded Vampire Progenitor]."
Tang Zheng looked at Cassius Habakkuk, who was screaming as if under some kind of influence, at the center of the ceremony, and gently shook his head:
"If we could obtain that technology, perhaps we could figure this out. And having developed for over 400 years, the [Corpus of the Abyss] should possess quite a few excellent magics and technologies."
In a short while,
The Negative Energy stirred up in the area gradually dissipated, and Cassius Habakkuk's screams ceased.
He appeared to be just a little listless.
Tang Zheng did not notice.
Upon first contact with Negative Energy, the professions [Holy Lord] and [Fallen Lord] flickered briefly before returning to calm, as if nothing had happened.
The air hisses!
The thick dragon tail, covered in Body Armament, swung down from the sky, striking the center of the ceremony heavily.
Rumble!
Cassius Habakkuk's sturdy Zombie body, struck by a blunt force attack, only managed a scream before shattering completely.
The shockwave generated by the Tail Strike spread out along the ground it touched, creating a tremendous roar like an earthquake.
The Spiral of Death Ritual was destroyed in an instant, and everything within the entire area was wiped clean as if a whirlwind had swept through!
Buzz--
Experience gained: 78121
[Experience Bar: 30.45 million/1.88 million]
Tang Zheng glanced at the meager increase in Experience Points, and with a thought in his mind, he took out a "Resurrection of the Dead" Magic Scroll from his Item Box.
A gloomy, gray sky.
After Evileye Teleportation back to the Royal Capital several times, she called out several times but could not find the Crimson Dragon Lord.
Even the Undead Cassius Habakkuk was nowhere to be found, which made Evileye's heart tighten.
"Has something happened?" Evileye's gaze sharpened as he quickly cast a detection spell to observe.
After a thorough investigation, I finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Evileye well aware of the terrifying strength of that Crimson Dragon Lord; if anything unexpected happened, there would inevitably be traces of the battle left behind.
Since there isn't one.
That means the Crimson Dragon Lord is only temporarily away; this has happened several times before.
Evileye found a clean spot and waited while recovering her magic.
It took about three hours.
The sky grew completely dark.
"Was the communication with [The Corpus of the Abyss] successful? Evileye."
A majestic voice rang out.
Evileye was resting, quickly and respectfully stood up. "Your Majesty the Dragon Lords."
Tang Zheng had already returned. He had been flying thousands of meters in the air, observing to prevent Evileye from being secretly followed and brought back unknown enemies.
Behind the [Corpus of the Abyss] is, after all, a mysterious True Dragon Lord. These guys are all extremely cautious and cunning, yet also extremely dangerous.
You can never be too cautious!
"Things went relatively smoothly, Lord Dragon Lords King. Regarding the information on the ' Sanctuary '..."
Evileye recounted the entire exchange in complete detail.
Tang Zheng was clearly taken aback, his face showing surprise and astonishment. Fortunately, he was invisible, so Iver's change in emotion could not be observed by Evileye.
There really is information about the Sanctuary!
Tang Zheng was both surprised and delighted. Originally, he had only intended to take a chance and make contact with the [Corpus of the Abyss], which was his main purpose.
Firstly, it is to investigate the True Dragon Lord behind this organization.
Secondly: It prematurely triggered the rebellion of the [Corpus of the Abyss].
Is this considered lucky?
Tang Zheng felt an overwhelming surge of excitement. "The Buddha Domain was the name before the Sanctuary?"
"The [Two-Realm Mandala] World Item clearly has a Buddhism style; perhaps it really is from this place."
This reminded him of the World Item in the Great Tomb Nazarick's possession, called the [Depiction of Nature and Society]!
Clearly, in "YGGDRASIL", World Item are not just in the style of the Norse mythology series.
"[Two-Realm Mandala], Buddha God..."
Tang Zheng pondered silently, his initial excitement gradually replaced by a solemn expression.
It's obvious!
Neither of these titles reflects the style of the New World, and the "Buddha God" should, without a doubt, also be a Player has descended to this world.
Individual arrival?
Guild Arrival?
Tang Zheng's expression grew increasingly serious. There was too little information to conduct a useful analysis. The only certainty was that this item had existed for at least 250 years.
According to the rule of descending every hundred years, if that Buddha God is also of the Human Species and dies of a normal lifespan, at least another 100 years will be added to their lifespan.
He silently speculated in his mind.
The time when the "Buddha God" descended was probably after Player "Eight Greed Kings," about four hundred years ago... or maybe three hundred years ago.
If that's the case!
That "Buddha God" did not die of old age; the possibility of an accidental death became extremely high.
As Tang Zheng thought of this, a chill ran through him, as if a cold wind was rising from the back of his spine. This was a remarkable feat of killing a Player who possessed a "World Item".
certainly.
It's more likely that it died of natural causes, since the [Two-Realm Mandala] is, after all, an unclaimed World Item.
If the "Buddha God" is killed, the items will most likely be taken by the victor. No... we can't think of it that way entirely.
The [Two-Realm Mandala] may have certain requirements that need to be met for its holder!
"Was the second contact three days later?"
The thought crossed Tang Zheng's mind, and his voice became more serious as he addressed the people below with an authoritative tone:
"I need more detailed information about this location."
"I understand, Dragon Lords Majesty."
Evileye nodded, his heart filled with more curiosity about what this so-called Sanctuary was, that it was valued so highly.
"Uh... well, knowledge of Tenth-Tier Magic." Evileye suddenly remembered the conditions of the exchange and forced himself to speak.
Banezeri, the "Abyss," will not be easily Deception. To obtain this information from him, one will likely need to offer something truly substantial.
With a "whoosh".
In the sky.
An ancient, long-sleeved animal hide scroll appeared out of thin air and floated down.
Evileye easily took the animal hide and held it in her hand. The thick, raised surface looked like the hide of some kind of crocodile.
Make a judgment in your mind.
"Dragon Lords Majesty, what is this?"
Evileye's gaze fell on the animal hide, where he saw densely written characters, and he asked in confusion.
What does this have to do with "Tenth-Tier Magic"?
"This is a special magical ritual that I obtained unexpectedly."
Tang Zheng's deep and authoritative voice descended from mid-air. "The power of this ritual allows the chanter to unleash magic two ranks higher than the power they themselves possess."
"If there truly exists Undead within the [Corpus of the Abyss] who wields Eighth-Tier Magic power, then by mastering this ritual, one can indeed unleash the power of Tenth-Tier Magic."
As Tang Zheng finished speaking, a barely perceptible smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Magic rituals" are not the key; without mastering "Magic Boost," even with rituals, one cannot use them.
This animal skin scroll is not the original version of the First Ancestor of the Lizardmen, but a copy made by Tang Zheng on a temporary basis, incorporating some of his own interpretations.
This makes the setup method for the "Magic Boost Ritual" easier to learn and master.
Tang Zheng had no intention of deceiving [Corpus of the Abyss]; on the contrary, he hoped more than anyone else that the other party would master this power as soon as possible.
Otherwise, how could they possibly resist that True Dragon Lord!
Years later, the Great Tomb of Nazarick descended, but the [Corpus of the Abyss] still did not launch a rebellion. The main reason was that they felt they lacked the power to defeat the True Dragon Lord.
Since these guys can't make up their minds, then Tang Zheng will give them that determination!
If things proceed as normal...
[Corpus of the Abyss] is clearly a gift package for Bone Lord, and incidentally, it allows the Great Tomb to eliminate a True Dragon Lord.
Tang Zheng had no intention of letting the future Ainz Bone Lord benefit from this!
