One-Minute Max Level? Crimson Demon God Cyttorak Is Losing It!

"Raine, don't rush."

Mordo slowed his tone, his voice as gentle as if he were coaxing a child.

"The core of the Scarlet Chains lies in communicating with the Demon God's will. This mysterious and profound state isn't something you can master in one leap through cleverness alone."

"It's perfectly normal for you to have encountered a bottleneck."

"When I learned this Spell back then, I was stuck for quite a while too."

"Calm down and slowly comprehend the Magic array nodes I just explained..."

Mordo was just about to continue with his textbook-style psychological counseling.

But Raine suddenly raised his head and revealed an embarrassed, bashful smile.

"Master Mordo, I haven't encountered a bottleneck."

Mordo froze, his heart skipping a beat as an ominous premonition welled up inside him.

"I just feel... this Spell seems a little too simple."

"I've already mastered it. I'd like you to take a look and see whether the details are correct."

As Raine spoke,

he casually pulled his hands apart in front of his chest.

Buzz!

A chain that seemed to have been forged from fresh blood and radiated incredibly terrifying crimson Magic instantly took shape between Raine's hands!

Ancient and profound Demon God incantations continued to flow across the chain's surface!

Mordo's voice came to an abrupt halt.

He stared fixedly at the Scarlet Chains in Raine's hands.

His eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.

What the hell...

Was this really the Scarlet Chains?!

And the purity of this Magic was even purer than when he cast it himself!

Mordo felt his brain crash.

He abruptly rolled up the sleeve of his Sorcerer's robe and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist.

Three minutes!

From the moment he started explaining until now, only three minutes had passed at most!

This was a high-level sealing Spell that directly borrowed Cyttorak's power!

Could this damn thing really be brushed aside with a single "a little too simple"?!

Mordo felt his entire worldview beginning to collapse.

He remembered clearly.

When The Ancient One taught him this Spell back then, she had once said earnestly:

"Mordo, Cyttorak is not a generous god. His power is violent and exclusive."

"You completely mastered the Scarlet Chains in one year. Your talent truly far surpasses that of ordinary people."

The Ancient One's approving gaze from back then remained vivid in Mordo's memory.

He had always been proud of it, too.

He had learned it in one year and been called a genius by the Sorcerer Supreme.

Then what should a freak like Raine, who mastered it in three minutes, be called?

The World Origin's biological son?!

Mordo felt dizzy and light-headed, his entire being sinking into deep self-doubt.

"How is this possible..."

Mordo stared blankly at Raine and kept muttering, "Could that hot-tempered Cyttorak have suddenly changed his ways and become generous?"

However.

Just as Mordo was questioning his life,

Raine suddenly encountered an unprecedented crisis!

Raine was happily admiring the new toy in his hands.

Suddenly!

An ear-piercing red alarm blared inside his mind!

[Warning! Warning!]

[Detected the violent will of the Crimson Cosmos overlord—Cyttorak—is conducting a reverse invasion!]

[This god has sensed that the host forcibly analyzed and stole his World Origin power without permission and has fallen into a rage!]

[Ding!]

[Your 'Scarlet Chains' have suffered a frenzied counterattack from the Crimson Demon God's will and sustained heavy damage!]

Raine's expression changed drastically.

He could clearly feel it.

The red chain in his hands seemed to come alive, transforming into a venomous snake that sought to devour people. It was drilling frantically toward the depths of his soul along his Magic circuits!

A brutal, destructive, and terrifying consciousness was attempting to forcibly erase his rationality!

"Damn it! I took too much for free and provoked the real owner!"

Raine clenched his teeth and desperately channeled his Magic, trying to sever the connection.

But Cyttorak was one of the Multiverse's top overlords. Even a mere strand of will descending across the void was far beyond what Raine's current strength could resist!

Just as Raine thought he was about to be forcibly brainwashed by the Demon God's will,

the system finally went berserk!

[Ding!]

[The system has urgently activated the host's highest protection protocol!]

[Detected an illegal divine will invasion. Beginning forced separation!]

[Separation successful!]

[Forcibly intercepting a portion of Cyttorak's authority and World Origin...]

[Ding!]

[Influenced by the basic Laws of the Marvel Universe, the intercepted Demon God World Origin has undergone an anomalous fusion!]

[Congratulations, host! Your 'Scarlet Chains' have mutated into the—Crimson Contract Chain!]

[Ding!]

[The system has successfully analyzed a portion of the World Origin. The underlying logic has been completed!]

[From now on, all of the host's Spell fusions and mutations will be more compatible with this world's Laws!]

A dense series of notifications exploded in Raine's mind.

Raine broke out in a cold sweat.

That was close!

He had nearly crashed and burned!

However, risk often came with enormous gains.

Cyttorak's cross-dimensional pursuit had not only failed to gain the slightest advantage this time, but the system had forcibly plucked off a huge chunk of wool from him instead!

Raine hurriedly inspected the mutated "Crimson Contract Chain."

At a glance, he nearly laughed aloud.

This mutation was simply absurd!

It had not only retained the Scarlet Chains' original, indestructible dual restraint abilities over both the physical body and the soul.

What was even more outrageous was that,

because it had fused with the intercepted Demon God authority,

this thing had actually developed a Nen ability similar to Kurapika's from Hunter × Hunter!

The chain was divided into five fingers.

Aside from restraint, they each possessed four heaven-defying functions: "Forced Commandments," "Absolute Healing," "Soul Tracking," and the most terrifying of all, "Magic Seizure"!

How was this still a sealing Spell?

This damn thing was practically an all-purpose Swiss Army knife combining offense, control, healing, and reconnaissance!

Raine took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the wild joy in his heart.

With this ultimate weapon,

who would dare show off in front of him from now on?
