Mutated Pain

As Luther prayed, a lofty, profound, terrifying, and majestic aura descended. Following the True Creator, the mysterious [Fool] also turned his gaze here.

Luther felt the muttering in his mind suddenly become louder; he had encountered an enemy, and the wrath of the True Creator was obvious.

Come, Fool, let me see what you're capable of!

Tormented by his delirium, he laughed maniacally, muttering to himself, anticipating the deity's next move.

Suddenly, Luther felt himself fall into a strange state of trance and clarity. He seemed to see a thick, gray Fog above the illusory sky, and in an ancient castle there, a tall figure shrouded in the Gray Fog sat behind Bronze Long Table, looking down at him.

In a daze, he saw many indescribable figures standing beside that tall figure. These figures were entirely gold and black, creating a striking contrast, and twelve pairs of jet-black and mysterious wings sprouted from their backs.

Like Angel from mythology!

Following the tall figure's instruction, one of the black-gold figures gracefully descended, flapping twelve jet-black wings, piercing through the barrier between illusion and reality, and flying into its own body.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed in his mind as the "Black-Gold Angel" collided with the will of the True Creator, creating ripples that seemed to try to expel it from Luther's mind.

However, a single Angel was no match for the will of the True God, and His power was quickly suppressed. But then, a second and a third Angel descended from beneath the Fool and entered Luther's body. The three figures touched wings, forming a ring that enveloped Luther's spirit, resisting the will of the True Creator.

The True Creator was extremely angry, his delirious murmurs filled with resentment, but in the end he could not withstand the power of the three Angel combined and was expelled from Luther's mind.

Under Mr. A's gaze, the pool of Flesh on the verge of spiraling out of control suddenly changed.

Luther's face floated above the Flesh and began to grow upwards. As if pulled from the mud, his neck, shoulders, torso—everything emerged from that pool of Flesh, and he regained a complete body.

"Call!"

A long, blood-red robe appeared, enveloping Luther. He quietly opened his azure eyes, looked at Mr. A, and revealed Distortion smile. His jawline drew a perfect arc, the blood-red robe reflecting off his handsome face, and the shadow beneath his feet was so thick it seemed almost tangible.

Handsome, mysterious, aloof, and insane!

"You have rejected the Lord's grace!"

Mr. A shouted angrily, his eyes bloodshot.

Luther remained silent, merely looking at the other with disdain. With a flick of his wrist, he produced a clean, white bone from seemingly nowhere. One end of the bone was sharp, while the other was slightly blunt; it appeared to be half a rib.

After fusing his bones, the Demoness of Affliction, and other Beyonder Characteristic, as well as the Divinity of the Evil God's Offspring, Beyonder Item formed within Lanevus's body— the Mutated Pain!

Luther flipped the bone over, gripped the blunter side with his other hand, and aimed the sharp bone spur at his own ribs. Then...

"Puff!"

Blood splattered, instantly staining the white bones crimson!

He had once asked "Red Light" El Moria how to use this mutated, Beyonder Item. "Red Light's" reply was simple—return it to Luther's body, and he would naturally know.

The first thing Luther felt was pain.

This is not the pain from a simple stab wound, or rather, the stab wound shouldn't have caused such intense pain.

"Brush!"

Once the ribs came into contact with Flesh, the previously quiet Characteristic suddenly ceased to be restrained, but instead extended, as if merging with the Spirituality within him.

In an instant, Luther's body suddenly became extremely sensitive. Everything around him was clearly visible; the air currents disturbing a hair, a corner of a snowflake brushing against his skin, and the friction of his blood-red robe against every inch of his skin were all clearly reflected in his brain.

At the same time, his perception of pain was elevated to an unprecedented level!

Luther felt as if every muscle fiber in his abdomen was being torn apart, blood gushing from severed blood vessels, and fragile nerves being directly exposed to the cold air. All of this ultimately converged into an intense pain that threatened to burn his spirit, surging into his brain like a madman.

The pain from the simple stab wound was so intense that it was almost unbearable for him!

"Aaaaaah!"

A surge of intense stimulation exploded in his mind, and he let out a hoarse roar that he could not contain.

Is this the "Pain" that comes after mutation?!

Luther thought groggily in his head, which was throbbing with pain.

No wonder "Red Light" El Moria said he knew about its side effects the moment he used it. It turns out the side effect is extreme sensitivity! Such intense pain is unbearable for most extraordinary individuals; they would probably suffer a mental breakdown and lose control while using it!

"Aaaaaah--"

Just then, Luther suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the other side. He barely managed to lift his head and saw Mr. A clutching his ribs, his face contorted in extreme pain.

The Pain Aura of "Pain" still works!

Moreover, as Luther's pain intensified, the aura's effects became astonishingly powerful. Even Mr. A, who was also a "Shepherd," found it unbearable!

Hehehe

Seeing Mr. A in such pain, Luther couldn't help but laugh. The other man's Distortion expression was like a good medicine, relieving his pain.

Do you like it?

Luther asked Mr. A softly, pressing his finger against the end of the bone, and slowly burying it completely into his body.

Veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, and sweat poured down his face; he was clearly in extreme pain. Yet, even so, he maintained the pose without hesitation.

Come, feel the pain with me!

What did you do?!

Mr. A's handsome face became grotesquely Distortion, and he shouted at Luther.

"You guess."

Luther said.

As all the bones were buried in his body, he suddenly felt a peculiar aura, the pure Divinity deeply buried within him. This Divinity had originally been unable to integrate into his body, only burdening his spirit. But with the return of the ribs, it became stable, automatically spreading throughout his body and merging with it.

The second effect of the rib is to allow Divinity to merge with his body, thus elevating his status!

Suddenly, Luther felt his aura become more solid, and he had completely mastered the Characteristic of the Shepherd's Potion within him. Although he hadn't Grazing yet, he was sure that using it would be smoother and more skillful!
