SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 826 - 826 567 The Chosen of the Gods

Chapter 826: Chapter 567 The Chosen of the Gods! Chapter 826: Chapter 567 The Chosen of the Gods! When he gazed directly at the consciousness ascending into the sky, an inspiration flashed through Colin’s mind.

“Is this thing a part of the Red Moon’s instinctive consciousness?”

Colin had an inkling.

He could see that it was constantly rising, intending to return to its body…

And its body was…

The moon!

That was the thing that the humanoid Rat had been scheming!

Once successful, it would be like two pieces of nuclear material reaching critical mass, exploding with terrifying power, and nothing could be salvaged!

“No…”

Colin wanted to move, but he couldn’t suppress the negative effects of the tool for a moment, and his body simply could not hold together, crumbling into pieces on the ground.

However, the next second, all the pieces melted like heated wax, merging in the flame and recongealing into Colin’s body.

However, intense splitting pain came from him, and his body was covered in dense cracks.

These injuries could not be simply brushed aside with a reformation…

But at that moment, Colin’s heart sank, sensing terrifying figures, also from Higher Life Forms, arriving by unknown means, appearing right beside him.

Those majestic silhouettes, indifferent, watched over him, encircling him…

“Do you want to kill me?” Colin’s gaze sharpened.

Although these figures seemed not to be their real bodies, their number was so large that they were no less formidable than facing a high-dimensional being!

Moreover, the spiritual intuition from “Space: Transposition” made it clear to him that at least one-third of these entities had been brought from other worlds by the Rat and bound mainly by “Spatial” power.

Now, due to the Rat’s death, most of them had broken free from their constraints.

As for the other two-thirds…

Their origin was unknown, but given the nature of the “Bonfire Company,” he couldn’t think of any other reason why these beings would find him besides wanting to kill him.

Yet in the very next second, he suddenly felt the negative effects on his body being forcibly suppressed…

The spatial cutting injuries that penetrated deep into his bones were also rapidly healing.

Simultaneously, Colin sensed countless powers, endowed directly by various authorities, emerging within him, most of which, almost like being spoon-fed, actively poured into “Bonfire,” causing flames on his body to burn like never before—

Blessings of the Gods!

‘What’s going on?’

Colin was taken aback, aware of the changes within himself as well as those strands of power, not understanding the reason for their actions, suspecting whether they had surrendered?

But the next second, more “inspiration” came to him, revealing the real reason!

The reason for these blessings was simple…

They dared not directly face the “Red Moon” consciousness entity ascending, and wanted to find someone who could.

Clearly, theoretically, the “Primordial Fire,” an old rival of the “Red Moon,” was one of the best options.

“Hahaha, so that’s how it is, cowardly enough…”

Colin sneered, took a deep breath, and the terrifying flames spread out in rings with the expansion of his heartbeat; within dozens of kilometers around, everything that touched the flames, except for the Gods’ illusions, was directly burned to evaporation!

Fortunately, there were no innocent lives around.

Because this foie-gras-style burning flame was even somewhat uncontrollable for Colin.

He had a premonition that even if he were to casually spit, the effect was likely comparable to a Little Boy bomb!

Feeling this surging power, Colin couldn’t help but mockingly laugh a few times, but in the end, he seemed to make a decision—to face the “Red Moon.”

Although he was very clear that these “Gods” all harbored ill intentions, merely wanting him to be a sacrificial lamb.

But similarly, as the so-called “The Gods” began to break free from containment, humanity still had a chance to struggle…

If they allowed the “Red Moon” to succeed, then everyone was doomed!

But before that, Colin, feeling stronger than ever at this moment, did not immediately act but instead spoke up:

“If you want me to be your shield, it’s not impossible, but I have a few conditions!”

As he spoke, he spread out his demands through inspiration.

Soon, part of them were agreed upon…

Conditions such as not actively slaughtering ordinary lives, and even providing certain protection when necessary, all of these were granted. For them, ordinary humans are almost like ants, hardly worth noticing…

However, while the majority was agreement, there were still some who remained silent, giving no response.

Compared to these indifferent demands, after the other demands were proposed, most responded with silence or denial, with not a single agreement, namely: not to harm Colin or the employees of the company after the battle…

In the feedback, not harming the company’s employees, most didn’t give a clear agreement or opposition.

The attitudes of “The Gods” in this regard were ambiguously unclear.

But when it refined to not being allowed to harm him personally, most were negative—

Simply put, the company’s employees might not be targeted, but after cleaning up the “Red Moon,” they would definitely come for him!

“I am just a ‘Reservist,’ after all, what is there to be afraid of…”

Colin sighed, knowing this was the best outcome he could hope for.

As for whether they would abide, Colin was not worried. There is a price to pay for breaching promises of this level…
