Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 604: Chapter 604: Uproar (28)_1 Chapter 604: Chapter 604: Uproar (28)_1 Poor child, has the chaos become so intense it’s even changed color?

Centered in the gaze of many, Fu Qian, however, paid no attention to the numerous scrutinizing eyes, but instead narrowed his at the colossal figure not far away.

For a moment, a part of that dark cyan body revealed a sky-like blue, but it quickly returned to normal.

This scene inevitably reminded one of a dialogue in an opera house—the War God’s wife hopelessly in love with Hamadus’s blue muscles.

It must be the right one.

The spot where Fu Qian stood was at the center of a triangle.

Chelphus, Ariel, and Hamadus were each at a corner, and he had just slipped here amidst the confusion.

As for why he could stand on the water’s surface?

What a joke, being a Sage known for his erudition, if willing, his entire body could be tentacles, and standing in the water was not a problem at all.

In any case, he had intentionally maintained a similar distance earlier, then used Eternal Clarity Mind, striving to influence all three people at the same time, not missing a single reaction from them.

First was Chelphus, who clearly had been saved, his unstable Mythical Form successfully dispersed, or else he wouldn’t have been in the mood to be astonished right now.

As for the God of Hubbub, Hamadus, his rank was exaggeratedly high, and the effect of Eternal Clarity Mind lasted on him for less than half a second.

Regarding Ariel, this entity finally had a reaction, slowly lifting his head to look over.

However, considering that he was a phase above him, his recovery speed should be even faster.

Moreover, seeing the arm that was still raised, the brief silence hadn’t interrupted his casting of the ‘Calling a Deer a Horse’ spell.

That made sense, for the hubbub that filled the sky was only dispersed for a few seconds before it came surging back.

[SAN Points decreased by 1]

Almost at the same time, Fu Qian felt a mental assault coming his way.

That must be why Chelphus’s snake head went berserk.

Close to Hamadus, with Ariel’s guidance distorting it, the Godly Hubbub Tide seemed to have a more exaggerated brainwashing effect than anywhere else, even a Demigod couldn’t be immune.

Is this why Ariel had the confidence to continue casting spells as a target in front of a crowd?

At this moment, Fu Qian was very sure that if he continued to stay, his SAN Points would keep dropping.

But he stayed nevertheless.

…

“It’s okay, although you didn’t act according to the plan, it hasn’t caused much impact, there’s no need to maintain a hostile stance because of this concern,” said Ariel, looking over with his eyes focused on Fu Qian putting away the bell, not only without seeking to blame, but speaking in a very earnest tone.

Who is this now?

While he spoke, both Cassandra and Chelphus had already been stupefied.

Unable to discern a trace of Transcendent aura, yet able to directly confront Ariel?

And the key Divine Envoy seemed to actually be cajoling him?

Impressive, as expected of you!

Fu Qian also sighed inwardly.

Indifferent to the anger of being betrayed, and even emphasizing proactively not to worry about him seeking revenge out of anger.

All of it, just to reduce the likelihood of creating more chaos.

In fact, by now, Fu Qian could roughly guess what the purpose of this entity was.

The Native Council’s plan this time had clear divisions of labor: Veheler responsible for the initial arrangement, Ya Yu guiding the formation of the Hubbub Tide, and this entity in charge of distortion.

Oh, and Camus and Marco were playing the cannon fodder role.

In any case, Ariel’s purpose was likely to ensure Hamadus survived and became “Rom.”

“Who is Rom?”

Faced with such an eccentric character, Fu Qian’s questions also became erratic.

“That is an extremely dangerous cognizance, no matter why you’ve got involved, your situation is very perilous, it’s better if you don’t know,” Ariel continued in a serious tone.

Unwilling to tell him, indicating that in his judgment, such an act might increase the probability of him taking action, the degree of increase even surpassing that of answering the question to show sincerity.

Fu Qian nodded; many times, the absence of an answer was an answer itself.

Of course, at the same time, he did not ask again.

There was not much time for questions to begin with.

His mission was not only to slay a god but also to do so before the hubbub ceased.

…

The next moment, Fu Qian took a step forward, summoning the silver-white Mercy into his hand and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger in Hamadus’s direction.

Unfortunately, the sound of gunfire did not ring out once more, as Ariel unsurprisingly repeated the same old trick.

My new clothes, ah!

Unsurprisingly, with a sigh, Fu Qian tossed away Mercy as his body began to swell rapidly.

In just a few seconds, a giant form standing over five meters tall, clad in bone armor, appeared in front of everyone.

Haven’t used the enlargement move in a long time.

Of course, this time, in addition to being larger, there were other changes to his appearance, such as the dark streaks adorned like an array of stars, now spiraling across his body like a galaxy.

After advancing to an Original Sin Sage, he finally had a rudimentary Mythical Form.

He had already shown it once during the first encounter with Veheler’s group, that time only one arm.

[SAN Points decreased by 1]

The prompt that followed was unsurprisingly heard.

Still dropping SAN Points, huh!

It truly was the sad cycle where the better the graphics card, the more demanding the games, never able to turn on ray tracing in the new games.

But it was almost over; he did not need much time.

The next moment, Fu Qian leaped into the air, landing directly above the godship.

Almost instantly, he saw an eye looking back at him.

The eyeball was murky darkness, encasing a blood-red pupil.

Just one glance was all it took to feel a wave of mental distraction wash over him.

After losing another bit of SAN Points, Fu Qian stomped onto the bizarre colossus of a ship.

When it comes to comparisons, even with his enlarged physique, he still appeared pitifully small in comparison to the massive ship.

But there was good news; from this angle, he could see multiple crisscrossing wounds on the body of the being, which almost induced choice paralysis.

Fortunately, Fu Qian overcame this unproductive habit in a millisecond.

The next moment, his right hand, now expanded to several times the size of his body, plunged into the gaping mouth of the beast, stifling an emerging howl.

Such a familiar scene, reminiscent of the days when I, basking under the full moon, achieved enlightenment—it was the same pose.

Who would have thought that one day I would actually be gouging the kidneys of a god.

While reminiscing about the bygone glorious days, Fu Qian executed a Visceral Critical Strike.

In the midst of the earth-shattering lamentation, Fu Qian, whose SAN Points had depleted once more, immediately jumped up to assess his handiwork.

On the immense body of the creature emerged a breathtaking wound, as ghastly as if it had been struck by a missile.

…

“You… how is this possible!”

At that moment, it was Veheler’s voice, full of life doubts, that resounded; he finally lost his composure.

Foolish mortal, why would it not be possible?

Fu Qian snorted and shook his hand.

Although Visceral Critical Strike was powerful, it wasn’t enough to take down the God of Hubbub in one strike.

The reason for the victory was that he had actually gone for the kidneys three times.

The chance for Mercy to triple the kidney scavenge was triggered on the first try.

This must be what they call the invincible benevolent, right?

What? Didn’t I literally just not fire a shot?

Do not limit your thinking—Graceful Release effect states hitting the target, not necessarily with a bullet.

As it turns out, tossing Mercy for it to hit also works just the same.
