Chapter 1903: Chapter 1901: Out of Control
When Han Dong was immersed in the “Soul Dreamland” engaging in a special form of Demon Tome Cultivation.
Several large events directly related to him occurred in the Black Tower, even requiring direct contact with Han Dong… However, Han Dong, situated within the Soul world, was unreachable.
One such major event was directly related to the ‘Count’.
As the Nether Blood’s envoy, the Scarlet Count entered the [Subsuper World – Holy Rank],
and at the deepest part of the Forbidden Land’s ancient tomb, found the Origin of Sacred Blood. The tomb even spawned many streams where Holy Blood continuously flowed out.
A giant corpse with strong resonance with the Count lay in the casket within the tomb.
However, the corpse’s eyes had long since opened, and it even sat upright in the casket, seemingly waiting for the Count for some time.
The so-called ‘Sacred Blood’ was actually a massive trap.
This king corpse, still flowing with Sacred Blood after death, was buried at the deepest of Forbidden Land, or rather sealed here.
The reason being, during life it was the dictator of the Holy Grade World, the Bloody Titan-[Sallon].
Back then, the Holy Grade was dominated by him, filled with bloody slaughter. All the craftsmen not only suffered searching for truths, but had to fight and shed blood to gain necessary resources.
Ultimately, Sallon’s rule was overthrown by the current Titan council.
He was thoroughly killed, even his throne was completely overthrown and destroyed, sealed in the depths of [the Ghost Pass of the God Craftsman].
However, Sallon, though dead.
His corpse continually flowed with Sacred Blood outward over millions of years, mingling with the creatures in this Forbidden Land… A few Fate Travelers visiting here might get inflected with Sacred Blood during battles.
Not only the Count or the Hall Family cursed by Sacred Blood.
In the worlds related to the Black Tower, quite a few Fate Travelers also have the so-called “Sacred Blood Curse” mingling in their bodies.
They must continually hunt Evil Things to gain necessary satisfaction, else their bodies will suffer pain like a myriad of ants gnawing, even the Sacred Blood will actively strip their blood, turning them into dried corpses.
In fact, this forced banishing attribute merely pushes the Host to grow.
As the Sacred Blood carrier grows stronger, they gradually feel a traction in thoughts, wanting to seek the Origin of Sacred Blood.
However,
So far, the Count is the only one capable of entering the Ghost Pass of the God Craftsman and finding the deepest tomb.
The purpose is already apparent.
The Count even speculated before stepping into the tomb.
This Titan Sallon’s purpose of leaking Sacred Blood was to select the best [individual] for possession and rebirth.
And the Count, coming from Super World, favored by the God of Hades and reaching Mythic Body, is the optimal candidate.
The battle is imminent.
Having undergone the Baptism of the Nether Blood, along with the Demon Book-“Seven-Cryptical-Books-of-Hsan”, the Count faced this dead monarch corpse with no fear.
By replacing his own skull with the Legendary Equipment “Dark Blood Skull,” he incarnated as a true envoy, unleashing power surpassing Mythic Body.
Within a certain time interval, the Count surprisingly managed to directly confront this Titan corpse, not even falling behind.
The battle erupted deep within the tomb, directly affecting the weather.
The sky above the Forbidden Area [the Ghost Pass of the God Craftsman] was entirely dyed crimson, even had blood rain dripping constantly.
When all Titans from the Holy Grade World rapidly arrived.
After all, it’s still just a Mythic Body, and he’s in another’s territory.
The Count gradually fell behind in the latter stages of the fight,
When about to be killed, the blood oozing from his chest quickly floated, coagulating in the sky… A world portal sustained by fresh blood connected to the Super World “Horror Dawn”.
This already counts as a massive-scale [World Intervention],
Directly drew the Black Tower’s attention.
Generally, the ‘transition’ among worlds ought to be natural; world intervention requires meeting various conditions.
Such Super World to Subsuper World intervention needs approval from the Black Tower.
Current direct interference, causing rule-level collisions, constitutes major rule violations.
Moreover, the involved party includes the most terrifying God of Hades from “Horror Dawn”.
The World Supervision Bureau immediately listed this as a red event, reported upwards.
Originally expected to assign Supreme Will members personally leading world control.
However, the order from above shockingly was to not interfere, let events unfold… The issuer was precisely Madame Bei, responsible for measuring world balance.
In the end.
With God of Hades personally intervening, the event quickly settled.
The Count and the Titan corpse were enveloped within a blood embryo together, returned to “Horror Dawn”.
The Titans from Holy Grade didn’t care at all, some Titans even cheered upon knowing this scheme plotted for millennia was disrupted.
If Thalon truly possesses and is reborn, what awaits them will be a great disaster.
Taking away the corpse, although it will lead to the loss of a “Holy Blood” path for the Holy Level World, it also eliminates a huge hidden danger.
…
Several months passed.
Accompanied by waves of blood aura overflowing from the world portal,
the Count returned to the Black Tower alone,
wrapped in a dark red robe with black edges, trying to conceal his identity and not attract outsiders’ attention.
Due to issues with world interference, although he didn’t need to be questioned or imprisoned, he still needed to write a written review for the Black Tower.
Even though the robe blocked most of the aura, the few traces of scarlet blood aura that escaped were enough to make others keep their distance.
When the Count arrived at the nearest Black Tower Office and found an empty spot to write the review,
a familiar aura attacked from the side, accompanied by the heavy sound of dragging chains ~ clang, clang!
“Count Bach?”
A voice seemingly from the depths of hell made the Count suddenly freeze, even instinctively seeping blood, preparing for defense.
Immediately after.
A head inserted with saw blades,
the entire body pierced by steel needles,
the back and arms dragging chains through flesh, a mythic demon sat directly opposite him.
One of the chains even emitted an aura directly related to the “world”.
“Togu Gonzales! Have you come out?”
The Count could vaguely be considered Han Dong’s second consciousness, naturally recognizing the core containment item.
Then he looked behind him.
A young lady in a red dress and black hair was slowly walking with a Deep Sea Inclination.
“Yes, we just completed a special trial, didn’t expect it has been so many years! How is Sir Nicholas doing? We entrusted the Black Tower to contact him but there has been no response, saying there’s an unknown obstacle preventing contact.
It seems you haven’t been able to contact him either.
Could something have happened to him?”
Togu already showed an expression of extreme unease.
At this moment, a slender hand full of warm blood color gently rested on his shoulder.
“Don’t worry~ Nicholas can’t possibly be in trouble.
I just finished my busy work and haven’t had the chance to contact him… Since the Black Tower couldn’t reach him, he is very likely deep within the S-01 world.”
The Count pretended to remain unfazed,
but the position he touched kept sending a strong pricking pain, almost making him bark like a dog, with cold sweat filling his back.
But he must maintain his image as a Count and an important representative next to Han Dong.
“If you can’t wait, let’s go back to S-01 to find him together.
With my connections, I should be able to find him easily.”
“Yes, it is indeed necessary to reunite with him as soon as possible.”
Just as they were preparing to request the staff to open the portal to S-01,
boom!
An extremely strong shock came from above, causing the indestructible internal area of the Black Tower to crack open the ground, and even buildings to collapse.
At the same time, a series of intense, piercing space tearing noises also struck,
causing many Fate Travelers present in Black Tower Square to have their eardrums shattered by such violent spatial tearing.
The Count immediately unfolded a scarlet barrier, enclosing everyone inside.
“What on earth happened? This is the interior of the Black Tower, the safest world center… How could such a thing occur?”
As the trembling subsided slightly,
the Count and others rushed out of the Black Tower Office and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
Looking up from the basement zone of the Black Tower.
The ‘ceiling’ separating the middle zone was completely torn,
and the important central pillar supposed to be in the middle, the main building corresponding to the Control Bureau, was completely uprooted and vanished… leaving only a super-large rift.
Highly unstable subspaces also dotted the surrounding area, ready to unleash subspace storms of varying intensities at any moment.
“So fast! Faster than the shortest expected time by more than a year! We must get back to Nicholas as soon as possible!”
