[Description: When he arrived on Earth, a burning wind blew fiercely, turning all living beings into corpses.]
Karoso only has this card as a God Card; currently, only the gods can fight against him.
The sky was full of swirling clouds, with flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder.
Lightning cut through the darkness, making the night as bright as day.
A heavy rain fell from the sky without warning, washing away the various colors of blood on the ground.
Slowly, a blue shadow took shape in front of Karoso. His huge size, strong body, and unknown power all showed how powerful he was.
Unfortunately, he was facing a true deity.
"Roar!" Oberisk shouted angrily at the God of Wisdom, throwing a punch at him.
"A monster made of corpses wants to fight a god?" The God of Wisdom waved his magic wand, and Oberisk was instantly frozen.
Crack crack…
The thick ice around Tormentor began to form cracks.
"This is interesting. The one summoned by divine power actually has some ability to resist…" The God of Wisdom waved the magic wand again, and the cracks disappeared.
"This… is impossible to fight against…" A hint of fear appeared in 『』’s eyes.
Facing Modred did not bring her this feeling of despair.
The God of Wisdom’s movements and mindset were so graceful, completely disregarding her and Karoso.
Moreover, when facing Modred, there were high-ranking church officials from the entire continent present.
Here, there were only her and Karoso.
"Karoso… Hmm?" When 『』 turned her head, Karoso had already vanished.
Just as Tormentor was frozen, Karoso’s figure appeared behind the God of Wisdom!
This Tormentor was simply a distraction to capture the God of Wisdom’s attention.
Karoso never knew what it meant to give up; even when faced with a god, he dared to draw his sword.
Even if he was just a bug in the eyes of the god, he wanted the god to feel something when crushing him.
Karoso’s eyes were red, but he could not see a single red thread on the God of Wisdom.
Pfft…
Two arrows of blood shot out from Karoso’s eyes, but the magical shield on the God of Wisdom deflected them.
Swish!
When…
Even though Karoso couldn’t find the red thread, his Kansho Masamune still swung down, but it felt like cutting into steel.
No, this was much stronger than steel.
The God of Wisdom waved their hand, and a Frozen Arrow shot toward Karoso.
Pfft…
The arrow pierced Karoso’s abdomen!
Even though he used Neymar’s divine power, it could not change the fact that there was too much difference between the two.
Bang…
Karoso fell to the ground again from the sky.
"Huff, huff, huff…" Karoso leaned on his sword, stood up, and looked at the God of Wisdom.
His vision was already blurry; just a moment ago, he had almost lost his sight while searching for the death line.
"As a mortal, you have done very well. Go to your death with honor!" The God of Wisdom waved their hand, and countless Frozen Arrows shot toward Karoso.
Karoso rolled and hid behind the Tormentor.
Bang, bang, bang…
Each Frozen Arrow had power even greater than a level nine Magic Cannon, and the huge body of the Tormentor was filled with holes.
"Little brat, I warned you before…"
"Who!" Karoso thought this voice sounded familiar.
"Someone here to watch."
[Oh no, that’s the voice of the Lord of Eternity!]
[Is the Lord of Eternity here?]
[There is help!]
[No, Master Karoso just finished dealing with a follower of the Lord of Eternity, didn’t he? He even killed him himself.]
[Yes, and he boldly betrayed the Lord of Eternity…]
[Can this really work? The Lord of Eternity might not help Master Karoso against the God of Wisdom.]
To outsiders, the Church of the Lord of Eternity seems like the craziest church, but to netizens, the Lord of Eternity is the best ally!
As long as it’s against the God of Wisdom, the Lord of Eternity will step in to help as long as the idol is present.
In this world, there is an altar for the God of Wisdom, and of course, there is also an altar for the goddess worshipped by the Forest of Elves, the Goddess of the Night, and… the altar of the Lord of Eternity!
"’What do you mean…’" Karoso said, frowning slightly.
"’When you were fighting earlier, did you feel a surge of magic enter your body?’"
"’Yes…’"
"That magic comes from the life force of other races. You seem to have a little bit of this law within you, and you are starting to instinctively absorb their life force. When the life force builds up to a certain level, your body will automatically transform it into pure magic, even divine power… This is a small trick all gods can do. However, it is more effective to absorb the same attributes, like that goddess in the sky; she absorbs the power of her followers and the usable forces of nature."
With this explanation from the Lord of Eternity, Karoso felt a sudden understanding!
The Blackening Card relies on this law from the Lord of Eternity, along with items left behind by him, to quickly absorb others’ powers for its own use, crafting a crown of blood.
When the Blackening Card stayed within Karoso, it used this law; however, since the Blackening Card followed the old path of the Lord of Eternity and Karoso did not have that supportive tool, he did not grasp that law at the time.
However, this planted a seed within Karoso.
As he got closer to the Church of the Lord of Eternity, the statue of the Lord of Eternity secretly helped Karoso, allowing that seed to begin to sprout.
"I see you have no flaws in the law; just absorb it directly! Take in all the remaining power of those who have passed away, letting them attain eternal life within your body! Life force, souls, magic—these can all be absorbed."
"He only absorbs what is useful, so we won’t be picky; we’ll take whatever we can!"
Karoso paused for a moment, "If these powers exceed what I can manage, will I go insane? Even… will I explode?"
"Little demon, do you still have a choice? You are facing a god, and only then do you have a slim chance of winning."
By the time the Lord of Eternity said this, Karoso already understood.
Indeed, this is not the time to think about those chaotic things.
When battling a god like the God of Wisdom, you must use everything at your disposal.
Falling into madness, or even dying from it, is something that comes later!
Buzz!
Karoso raised the Kansho Masamune high.
Countless souls appeared in the air, wailing as they rushed toward Karoso’s body.
Furthermore, the blood on the ground and the remaining magic from the corpses swirled like a whirlwind toward Karoso!
"Absorb the soul…" The God of Wisdom’s eyes were filled with killing intent, "Eternal life, it’s you again!"
