Chapter 507 - 474: Harvest

Chapter 507: Chapter 474: Harvest

Deep underground, in a dark, pitch-black world, terrifying magma collided with a bizarre black liquid. The latter held the upper hand for a brief moment before it experienced the overwhelming Power of Nature; the endless magma suppressed everything beneath it.

Within the destroyed portal, a human figure composed of golden Light Flames continuously lunged at the "Monsters".

With each catch, he would stuff them into the "Sacrificial Array" that followed, regardless of their resistance.

They had their own names, forcibly born by the Ancient Maya God Sersi and the Evil Seed King; they were from the Tanique Divine Race, also striving for perfect Evolution as "Evil Seeds".

If they could have been born, they might have had unimaginable futures.

Unfortunately, from the moment they were born, they were sealed at the deepest part of the "Goddess’ Womb", decades of time had made them incredibly weak, just like the Divine Body that was cut off from the "Mysterious" channel, possessing terrifying Divinity but utterly powerless.

However, hunting them was a figure who knew no fear.

He was becoming increasingly illusory, but his facial features and appearance were undoubtedly identical to Tang Qi.

After the beginning, he never spoke again, merely immersing himself in the sacrifice.

"Eighteenth, nineteenth... Boom!"

Another "Evil Seed", dragging its white limbs and rotten head, was sacrificed amid its wailing.

In his mind, he silently counted: "Twentieth!"

Then, his figure suddenly stopped, at this moment around him, not a shadow of an Evil Seed could be seen.

Looking back, countless "Evil Seeds" resembling "giant tadpoles", with their disgusting white limbs and heads bowed to the ground, were rapidly fleeing towards the exterior of the portal, their tenacious sinful Divinity enveloping them, allowing them to withstand the scorching magma from the Vera Volcano.

Tang Qi did not stop or make any other movement, he just looked down at himself.

His "body" entirely composed of golden Light Flames, filled with cracks as if it were a porcelain person forcibly glued together, a feeling of weakness assaulted him, about to completely shatter.

In the depths of Tang Qi’s eyes, an Information Fragment emerged.

"Special witchcraft: Molten Furnace Avatar...about to be exhausted!"

"It’s the limit!"

The moment he uttered this, the Black Prophet, already nearly destroyed by the sea of magma, suddenly seemed to fall into another space, and together with the Holy City, it was wrapped by the magma and plummeted into the depths of the earth, but suddenly the area below turned into Nihility, and a bizarre sensation of weightlessness arose.

An even more terrifying scene followed, from deep underground where it should have been dark, a Radiance brighter than the "Sun" burst upwards.

All Life, including the Tanik Evil Seeds, were instantly "blinded".

Amid their wailing, a massive "Flame Bubble" enveloped everything without warning, and during the integration process, everything was dissolved.

No matter how hard the material or the Divinity-laden Curios, upon contact with that extreme, viscous Radiance, too late to resist, they went from real existence to Nihility, being directly evaporated, vanishing bit by bit.

"Is this the Eternal Fire Hell?"

"Click~"

Tang Qi’s Molten Furnace Avatar only managed a brief glance downward, the last bit of Molten Magic declared exhausted, his shattered eyes reflecting that vast and boundless depth underground, magical, gigantic Flame Bubbles, each could envelop the entire Secret Phoenix City, deep within the Bubbles was a world beyond human imagination, an ancient scent of destruction brewing... the endless Flames devouring everything.

Accompanied by a light "pop", the Mayan Holy City harboring the Mother Goddess Sersi’s vast ambitions, along with the Black Prophet and Tang Qi’s shattered Avatar, completely dissolved into Nihility.

...

Outside the Chituca Territory, beneath the dark seas, as if a massive torpedo exploded, white bubbles surged, a "white line" piercing through everything, shattering the sea water gleaming with black light, with a "roar".

A uniquely designed spaceship, filled with Exotic style, burst out of the sea surface, an invisible aura gushing forth, causing the "Black Prophet No.1 Escape Pod" to hover above the sea.

Inside the cabin, Tang Qi sitting upright facing the "Kels’ Eye" chair, suddenly jolted his upper body, groaned, and slowly opened his tightly shut eyes, an uncontrollable feeling of weakness continuously emerged from within him.

But as he saw the orb in front of him, covered in cracks yet barely maintaining a "whole" state, his lips immediately curled upwards.

He had won, once again.

Before examining the rewards called "Maiya and Kels’ gratitude" after defeating Sersi, Tang Qi first slightly lowered his head, diverting a strand of consciousness to check the number of Merits changed at the Master of the Furnace Projection.

In the blink of an eye, a neat row of five Sun Merits aligned, emitting a Radiance that deeply moved Tang Qi.

"Two for five, a very reasonable trade."

Satisfied, Tang Qi muttered to himself, "It’s worth the risk I took."

Before entering the "Black Prophet," Tang Qi had a premonition that he would use the two Sun Merits he had long retained this time.

"Sun Merit is a fair trade between every Molten Furnace Wizard and the Master of the Crucible; those brilliant mini-suns allows wizards to exchange various witchcraft or unimaginable Extraordinary Powers, and even ancient Mysterious Knowledge only known to the Divine."

"The only way to obtain Merit is through sacrifice, creatures highly related to the Evil God, Curios, or even the Evil God himself, can all be exchanged for corresponding merits at the Master of the Crucible. This was also the origin of the arrogance of those predecessors during the Dark Era, and the reason for their ultimate extinction."

"Sacrifice is a method of cheating and a suicidal combat tactic. Facing tricky Evil God targets, even when they are in a weakened state, it’s extremely difficult to end the combat quickly. However, sacrifice helps Molten Furnace Wizards to resolve issues swiftly... The downside is, if the opponents are powerful, the sacrifice is more like a suicide mission. Before the Sacrificial Array is activated, the resistance of the wizard is extremely weak and the target could instantly kill them. This point of knowledge was explored at the cost of many wizard predecessors’ lives."

"Originally, my plan was to exchange the Merits for a powerful one-time Extraordinary Power to repel Sersi and leave Vera Volcano safely... But since the Escape Pod was successfully launched, there’s naturally no opportunity to waste; the two merits are perfectly exchanged for a Molten Furnace Avatar."

"This is one of the most commonly used witchcraft by Molten Furnace Wizards. They can substitute the wizard to perform a sacrifice. As long as the target is in a weakened state, the efficiency of the Avatar is extremely high, yet there’s no need to worry about affecting the original body. Whether it’s Sersi’s damaged body or those disgusting Evil Seeds sealed for an aeon, they are absolutely weak and cannot resist the Avatar’s sacrifice... It’s just a pity that the time was too short and a large amount of sacrifices were wasted."

Tang Qi slowly rose from his seat and came to the center to stand in front of the "Kels’ Eye."

At this time, Reina Swinton and Timothy, among the five, also woke up.

They looked at Tang Qi, who pointed a finger at the gemstone.

The originally dim gemstone, as if it could shatter at any moment, suddenly burst with light.

Inside, a circle of light overflowed, appearing in the "Escape Pod," where various large and small light balls floated, containing various Curios or some rare materials, and some were merely flowing, suspended symbols representing some Mysticism Knowledge.

The ring of light paused for a moment, and inside, a symbol representing wisdom illuminated the six people.

Then, the light ring exploded.

Those Curios, materials, and knowledge instantly split into six parts, shooting towards them.

Among them, Tang Qi’s share strikingly constituted two-thirds of the total.

The exaggerated "portion" did not bring any jealous or angry gazes. They all, carrying joy, received the "gratitude" sent across the span of ages by the ancient Mayan Gods.

Aside from Tang Qi, the one who received the largest share was Reina Swinton, who had been contaminated and, in the divine judgment held in "Kels’ Eye" by the Wisdom God, this ancestor, once an adventurer of Sersi’s Maid, and also made significant contributions.

Considering the process, this was indeed the case.

If it wasn’t for Reina Swinton completely attracting the "Ghost’s" attention, Tang Qi wouldn’t have been able to turn the tables so resoundingly.

If at that time, Reina Swinton had not been able to enter the control room but instead had been controlled to open the Sealing Door, in order to escape, Tang Qi would probably have had to use up his merits to block the groups of Evil Seed and Sersi, and then the gains naturally would not be so surprising to him now.

Tang Qi’s mind received "Knowledge," and Gluttony, devoured the materials and curios one by one.

Moments later, when everyone had finished receiving, they simultaneously opened their eyes.

Tang Qi’s smile grew even more brilliant.

Although he had yet to inspect those ancient Mayan curios, the ancient knowledge in his mind was enough to make Tang Qi feel like the trip was worthwhile.

"From ancient Maya, a vast amount of Mysterious Knowledge relating to Secret Medicine, compiled by believers of the Wisdom God, assimilating knowledge from many schools, including knowledge held by the Original Secret Medicine School regarding the cultivation of Demonized Rubber Trees..."

"Huge gain!"

With joy slowly subsiding in his heart, Tang Qi looked at the other five, including Yucatan Assassin Timothy, who maintained a frosty face. At this moment, all could not hide the joy in their eyes.

"No wonder the stories of relic exploration are always irresistible; they always come with massive gains, enough to suppress the fear of Death."

As similar thoughts brushed through their minds

The "Escape Pod" beneath their feet suddenly began to disintegrate. The mercurial magical material seemed to finally reach the limit of its durability. At this moment, the warm sunlight above the dark sea area penetrated the clouds, and the "Black Stone," resembling an Inverted Pyramid, collapsed thunderously upon contact with the sunlight.

Not far away, above the cliffs, the bloody and horrifying altar, an appalling and bizarre "Evil Seed Corpse," were all dissolving.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the depths of the sea area, an unprecedented Big Explosion sounded, Black Prophet carrying the Holy City along the lava channels of Vera Volcano, like a "small pebble" thrown into the Eternal Fire Hell, causing a slight ripple for this sea area, yet it was an unprecedented tremor.

As the six watched, a new, towering, red volcano was about to be born in the depths of the black-lit sea.
