Breaking Free

Rewind one second.

When the Blasphemous Utterance uttered by Balor struck Soren's mind as if struck by lightning, a searing heat surged from within him, instantly coursing through his entire body. Not only that, Soren's powerful memory seemed to be activated by some force, instantly memorizing these incomprehensible yet vaguely understood Blasphemy. This was the power of the oldest Evil God, one of the abilities excelling in the Alignment of Evil Deity.

"Pain!"

Soren's mind seemed to be pierced by some force, and in an instant he understood this ancient Blasphemy.

--"Blasphemous Utterance: Pain!"

This power seemed to resonate perfectly with him at that moment, and Soren mastered it in an instant.

A series of data emerged:

"You are affected by the [Blasphemous Utterance] effect!..."

"Slaughter Divinity Transformation!... Fear Divinity Transformation!... Slayer Form Activated!... Eidetic Memory Feat Triggered!... Extensive Eidetic Memory Feat Triggered!..."

"Our own Alignment is Lawful Evil!..."

"Divinity level is [Faint Divinity]!... You are immune to this blasphemous damage!... Your own level of Evil and the compatibility with the Blasphemous Utterance are 91%!... Divinity mastery ability activated!... Comprehended new ability [Blasphemous Utterance]!..."

Blasphemous Utterance.

As the name suggests, it is a special power of the Evil Alignment. This is the most ancient form of Blasphemy, and only certain powerful and Evil beings who also possess Divinity can wield this ability. Otherwise, they can only master a lower level of Blasphemy, which is the special Spell-like Ability used by the Blasphemous Priest of White Horse City. Some priests favored by the Deity also possess this ability. However, they master ' Dictum '. If they can become the Chosen or favored by the Deity, this ability can be upgraded to ' Holy Word '.

Good and Evil.

The two Alignment possess different abilities, but the most fundamental power of Evil is blasphemy.

Under normal circumstances!

Even if Soren wanted to master ' Blasphemy,' he had to undergo an extremely Evil Sacrificial Ritual, during which he would perform corrupt Profane Ritual. The process of the ritual varied depending on the Deity Sacrificial Ritual. If the sacrifice was to Demon, it would likely be a bloody ritual of Slaughter; if it was to Devil, it might be some kind of terrible Intrigue. Of course, there were many objects that could be sacrificed in this ritual, as the Evil God of the Abyss and the Baator Hell could also grant this ability.

For example, the Succubus Queen; the Sacrificial Ritual to please her should be the easiest.

Because she is the Archfiend of lust, depravity, and ethics, certain forbidden rituals of pleasure can easily please her and earn her rewards.

The 'blasphemous power' bestowed by Demon, Devil, and Evil God all come at a price.

While it can enhance one's own power, it also means putting oneself under their control. However, Soren's current mutation is different from all other Profane Ritual; he automatically masters and comprehends the ' Blasphemous Utterance '.

At this point!

Even he himself couldn't quite understand it, and could only vaguely guess that it was related to his Alignment, the Slayer Bloodline, or perhaps Faint Divinity.

Because Divinity is equivalent to stepping into the realm of Deity.

If the Balor before us has no master, then its mastery of ' Blasphemous Utterance ' is also due to its own Divinity.

The Balor's body trembled.

Even with its powerful fiery body, it still suffered considerable damage from the power of the ' Blasphemy '.

"Blasphemous Utterance: Pain [Special Ability]: Speak the most ancient Blasphemy. Transform these Deity words into the power of pain and inflict them on the enemy. No non-area-based power can Saving Throw from this damage, dealing true damage equal to your class level + Divine Rank to the target. This ability can be used once per day."

Soren stood up expressionlessly.

The power of pain gradually subsided. He gazed at the Balor before him, a strange, blood-red light appearing in his eyes.

At this moment, he exuded an aura of Evil and depravity, resembling the shadow of some Abyssal Demon Lord. The Balor before him seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly changing as he uttered in a deep voice, "Child of Slaughter?!"

"No! That's not right!"

"Your power is too weak! It seems I have encountered a descendant of the Child of Slaughter!"

A hint of greed flickered in Balor's eyes.

It suddenly growled and took a step forward, instantly tightening the barbs embedded in its back. Then, drops of Demon blood slid down the chains. The Balor howled in pain, but still did not retreat. Instead, it gripped the Abyssal Vorpal Sword in its hand and took another step forward. The sound of flesh being Rake rang out. The flames on its body weakened considerably, and its huge Demon wings were ripped open by the binding chains, revealing a gruesome wound on its back.

"Slaughter Divinity!"

A fanatical glint appeared in Balor's eyes as he roared, "Hahaha! We've actually encountered a descendant of the Child of Slaughter!"

"Mortal!"

Let's settle this once and for all!

"The victor owns everything! The loser becomes a sacrifice!... Standing before you is the descendant of [fire and Destruction]!... The Greater Demon Balossa-Kendi!..."

As long as he remains imprisoned, Balor will find it difficult to truly kill Soren.

Even if Balor before him, Soren could escape at any time, while the Balor was confined to a certain area by its sealing chains. The Balor was unaware that Soren possessed Bloodlust that would drive him mad if this Slaughter wasn't satisfied. It only sensed the Slaughter Divinity within Soren, a power that activated its Demon madness. Therefore, in order to kill Soren, it prepared to forcibly break free of its sealing shackles.

Slaughter and Destruction.

The two most powerful Divine Power in the Abyss!

Although they are not the Deity who control these two Divine Power, these two powers still created a Balor of level 27, and Soren, who now surpasses ordinary Legendary.

Boom!

A crack appeared on the wall connected by chains, and Rake appeared on the Balor's body. Its hands were still bound by shackles, but the chains binding it were slowly being pulled out. On its back was a sharp barb that almost pierced through its collarbone, covered with strange silver Rune —the force that had bound it in place. But now it was forcibly breaking free. With streams of Demon blood gushing out, the Balor, amidst roars of pain and madness, took another step forward.

Its injuries are getting worse, but the power of the seal is getting weaker!

Greed and madness gleamed in the eyes of the Balor. As long as it could kill the mortal before it and seize the Slaughter Divinity within him, the price it was paying now would be nothing!

As an incredibly powerful Greater Demon, it was confident that even in its Heavy Injury Condition, it could still kill the mortal before it!

--Balor -Kendi [CR 27] [Heavy Injury Condition] [Sealed Weakness] [Tier 6]!

--Soren [Slayer Form] [Class Level 18] [Tier 4]!
