Why is my journey to the world of anime a strange tale of rules?

Tangyuan's voice finally reached Gao Hai's ears clearly.

At the same time, her body, which was already covered by a large number of blood-red vines, was also imprinted in his pupils.

The soft murmurs, as if caressing his body, also began to resonate.

...Mom, I've finally found you...

Come into my arms, come into my body...

...Let Mom protect you, let Mom love you, let Mom's blood, flesh, and womb help you become Mom's child completely...

Chapter 149: The Essence of God, Echoes of Despair, The Pointer Moving Again

The crimson domain swept up in an instant.

Reminded by Takahashi, Kaguya activated her ability at the same time. Several clones that Ichiri quickly summoned were drained of blood. In less than 0.5 seconds, two blood-red domains that had been enhanced to their limits erupted together, instantly protecting Takahashi and the girls beside him.

The bloody power originating from Chiyo Hachiya swept out with a powerful aura at this moment, expanding into an area that stretched for more than ten meters in just a breath.

Click!

Then, in the next second, the domain began to shatter.

The blood-red vines are unfurling.

The crimson realm shattered like glass, easily scattered and vanished like sand.

The moment He arrived before Gao Hai once again, all pretense was no longer needed.

After He finally and completely swallowed up the world, there was no need for any more patience.

Now is the time to reap the rewards.

Rumbling--

The earth beneath their feet shattered with a deafening roar. Hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, and even larger crimson vines surged out of the soil, piercing through Little Black Mountain, piercing through the surrounding mountains, and even piercing through the sky, until the entire world was filled and swallowed up by the color of the crimson flowers.

Every cell in my body is crying out in agony.

Faced with an invincible, irresistible, and even incomprehensible existence, everyone lost the will to resist. The idea of ​​fighting against such a thing simply did not arise in their minds, and they even instinctively felt the urge to kneel before it.

Come, come to your mother's side...

That gentle voice softly caressed everyone's consciousness.

Come on, let Mom protect you...

The spreading crimson vines stretched out their tentacles toward everyone standing there.

"statue!!!"

The next moment was a roar like thunder.

Gao Hai stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing the soil to crack and explode. The sharp crack echoed in both the real world and the mental world, causing the girls, whose consciousness was gradually sinking into a daze, to suddenly open their eyes wide and briefly regain their senses.

But what happened in the next second was a blood-red vine that suddenly stabbed forward, about to pierce Gao Hai directly.

Goto Ichiri's clone was summoned and then passed through.

Old Guo was instantly summoned by Gao Hai to stand in front of him, and then he directly killed two people at once.

With a whooshing roar, a fire truck sped out in front of Gao Hai, carrying Howard straight onto the vines, temporarily halting the truck's advance. But in reality, it only delayed the truck for less than a second before it pierced through the vines again.

Within those two seconds, Gao Hai turned around and faced the girl beside him.

Only then did he notice that the reason Goto Ichiri hadn't summoned a second clone was because several blood-red vines had already wrapped around her body. Her flesh and consciousness were being absorbed by the vines at an extremely rapid pace, and before the third second arrived, she was almost completely drained into a dried-up corpse, beyond any hope of recovery.

"here--"

Maki activated her spatial artifact, and the twisted statue covered in flesh and black stone appeared, falling towards Takami's location. Next, Kaguya, who had rushed forward, blocked Chika and Maki's path, but was pierced through the shoulder by a blood-red vine and rapidly absorbed.

Gao Hai didn't speak, didn't react, and didn't even glance at the two girls who were being attacked by the blood flowers.

He simply activated the [Self-Annihilation] function as quickly as possible, targeting the girls present to kill them on the spot and take their souls, thus avoiding the worst-case scenario.

hum-

However, his plan failed to materialize.

An incredibly powerful life force spread out the instant the black watch was about to activate, flowing into everyone's bodies and forcefully refusing to accept death.

Time slowed down at that moment. The soul that should have been extracted by the black watch was forcibly frozen and then taken away by the blood-flower vines.

Gao Hai believed his revised method of suicide would prevent the irreversible from happening, but he forgot one thing, or rather, failed to take it seriously: the Blood Flower was not an ignorant, instinctive creature; it could think, and its perspective was far richer than Gao Hai's. Therefore, those little tricks he thought would be effective were utterly useless given the Blood Flower's preventative measures.

Bang!

With a heavy voice, Gao Hai caught the twisted statue, while police officers were summoned to block a rapidly approaching tentacle.

The third core object of obsession is the 38-sided pendant of Mr. Du, a believer in Chaos who had come into contact with the Mountain God and the Fox Goddess.

The fourth core object of obsession is the roster of all the villagers of Zhangjia Village, whose bodies were the first to be destroyed and whose corpses were constantly being used by the Li family.

Now, both of these items have been placed in the empty spaces on the statue. The four core obsessions that form the foundation of the dungeon resonate with the flesh and black stone on the twisted statue at this moment, stimulating the already incomplete divine power.

boom! ! !

In the next moment, amidst a deafening roar and flash of light, a powerful gust of air swept up, blowing away the incoming crimson vines.

"Well……"

The intense light caused Maki to close her eyes involuntarily, instinctively raising her hand to shield them.

Qianhua was no longer where she was. She was grabbed and pulled away by several blood-red vines, disappearing in an instant into the writhing sea of ​​vines.

Gao Hai still didn't go to see the girl who had just disappeared.

He didn't even have time to check on the Empress's condition; he was completely focused on the radiant statue, feeling the power emanating from it.

Gao Hai didn't care what it was anymore. As long as it could give him power to fight the Blood Flower and reclaim the girls' strength, he was willing to accept anything and pay any price, as long as he could get through this hurdle.

Please... please... please, please, please, please...

His bloodshot pupils stared intently at the light. Gao Hai leaped up and reached out, trying to grab the flash of light, to grasp what he didn't actually know.

Feel.

Although I haven't actually come into contact with it yet, I can already sense what's within that light.

That is the mountain god of Little Black Mountain, the fox goddess, the water god, the cave master, the sky god, and all the gods who once existed on this planet, whether formed from some concept or transcended by some opportunity or cause and effect.

They are integrated into nature; they are an integral part of this planet, the embodiment of natural laws, and the symbol of the evolution of life. Following their respective responsibilities, they grew step by step throughout the changes and development of the world, until the emergence of humankind, a life form similar to them, which, though weak, constantly seeks development and evolution, and gradually multiplied and grew stronger.

They had many different opinions about these beings who were gradually transcending the laws of nature and beginning to build a new order. But in the end, they chose to watch silently, to observe the development of these humans without interfering, and to hope that they could truly grow to a level comparable to the gods, and even move towards a future that surpasses the gods.

Now, they no longer exist.

These obstacles disappeared when the Sacrifice Game began to engage with this world and seek to build its stage.

The vast majority of them perished in that sealing war where the odds were stacked against them.

However, a few members discovered the conspiracy behind the battle and realized that a greater catastrophe was about to befall the world. So they tried their best to preserve a portion of their power and managed to observe some of the things that were about to happen, leaving behind the last relics they could.

[Being able to discover this hidden entity and gather the four key pillars of this world means that you, as the one who unlocks it, already possess sufficiently great power.]

[To those who come after, whoever you are, once you have successfully opened this relic, we hope you will step forward and try to change the future that is so likely to lead to tragedy and destruction.]

This is our final gift to the world; may this essence change the fate of this world.

It was impossible to discern who was speaking; it seemed to be the voices of many different figures, a shared regret they had left behind.

But Gao Hai ignored these voices.

He now only wants to grasp that power, the true power that is enough to transcend his own form and ascend to godhood.

hum-

The piercing sound echoed in my mind and in my soul.

Gao Hai couldn't see what he was holding in his hand, and he couldn't even be sure if he had actually touched anything.

But he could sense and understand what emerged from that distorted statue.

【nature】

It's hard to describe exactly what Gao Hai was, so in the end, this is the only word that can be used to express it.

Just as the essence of a person can be described as a carbon-based life form, or a mammal, or a highly intelligent human, what Gao Hai is encountering at this moment is an "essence," an essential thing handed over by the last remaining god before death.

By absorbing this substance, Gao Hai's essence will transform from "human" to "god," making him a completely inhuman being and allowing him to ascend to heaven in one step, escaping his current state.

This final gift doesn't actually contain much extraordinary divine power; its greater significance lies in granting anyone who absorbs it the power to become a god in essence—a shortcut to a higher level than the original form. In a sense, this "essence" is a miracle. It's hard to imagine how those fallen ancient gods ultimately deciphered the source of divine power and extracted this transcendent "essence."

Click——click——

As a human who had already absorbed a form of origin and was undergoing a fundamental transformation, Gao Hai directly touched upon this "essence," even easily tearing it apart. At this moment, he could clearly feel that the complete "essence" was still unabsorbable and unusable for ordinary people, because this power was still too overwhelming. However, for him, a top-tier Red Moon-level player, he had already earned the right to touch this power.

Without hesitation, Gao Hai chose to absorb the power directly. In an instant, his aura began to change drastically, and his flesh and blood underwent repeated changes of dissolving, festering, and then rapidly regenerating.

"Sea Lord—"

Maki's voice brushed past me.

The overwhelming power nearly tore Gao Hai's consciousness apart, but in the chaos, he still sensed the reappearance of those blood-red vines and discovered the captured Zhenfei.

He reached out and took the small hand that Princess Zhenfei was extending.

With a tearing sound, the arm was ripped off, and the girl, now missing an arm, was entangled in twisted vines, while the stunned Gao Hai was left with only a severed arm in his hand.

Everything...was taken away...

Maki, Chika, Miko, Hayasaka, Kaguya, Ichiri… all of them were taken away by this thing…

This damn blood flower, this damn blood vine, this piece of shit that just won't let me go no matter what...

"Give it back to me!!!"

Gao Hai roared.

It is not Takami as a human being.

Instead, it was Gao Hai, who was forcibly transformed into a god under the impetus of his "essence" and forcibly converted into a higher existence, who roared at this moment.

hum! ! !
