Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Chapter 315: A New Ritual, Teresa's Solo Test

After leaving the Valley of Existence, Charles thought he would meet a new Pandora on his journey.

He even walked through all the cities in the starry sky that had Pandora.

However, this time he did not see the new Pandora on the road ahead but arrived at a strange place.

The first thing that catches the eye is countless objects made up of piled cubes, like small hills, and these objects form some strange shapes in all directions.

Looking from above, the stone pestles formed a huge square, with a line of stone pestles connecting the four corners of the square, and at the end of the line was another similar square.

Like a spider web, the squares formed by these stone pestles seem endless.

"According to the map...it seems that I need to go alone on this section of the road." Theresa looked at the map and the instructions in her hand and slowly placed the map on the stone pestle closest to them.

The ground around them began to shake, and slowly a crack appeared on the ground. At the same time, a staircase appeared under Charles and the others' feet.

Ciel didn't enter, but simply squatted on the ground and placed his fingers on the stairs.

"This ladder leads to the real world."

"The road above is still in the star realm."

"If my guess is correct, after we step onto the stairs, there will be a time gap, which will reduce our time by one to ten seconds."

"And the road above also has a time gap. Every second we miss may correspond to an hour or even more."

This is a very cleverly designed ritual.

Whether it is the upper passage or the lower passage, someone needs to walk through each passage. This is also a very dangerous ritual.

At least it seemed very dangerous to Charles.

If he and Theresa embarked on different paths at the same time, the time gap between them might become Theresa's death warrant.

If there is even the slightest problem with the ritual above, she could be completely wiped out.

Even if Charles took the initiative to step into the ceremony arranged by a true god, it would take a certain amount of time to achieve a breakthrough.

And during that period of time, if Doom really had ill intentions towards Theresa, then the time period of Charles' breakthrough would be enough for Doom to completely erase a person's existence, an erasure that even Charles could not undo.

But... would she really do such a thing?

Even though his memory of Lady Doom was a little fragmented, Charles still believed that she was not that kind of person.

But even if he could be sure of this, it didn't mean Theresa wouldn't be in danger.

Power never comes without a price. Charles couldn't guess what Lady Doom's gift to Theresa would be, but he thought it was a power that could help her or him.

He couldn't remember whether he had confessed to the other party, but it was likely that he hadn't.

So the other party doesn't know his or her own uniqueness.

Putting aside his own uniqueness, according to her arrangement, he should be a Sequence 2 Servant God at this time.

The power that can help you reach the level of demigod or even higher.

Even a righteous god could not grant this kind of power casually, not to mention that before the ritual, Theresa was only a Sequence 9 Acrobat-level Transcendent.

Her will and capacity could not contain such a powerful force. Even with the power of Lady Doom, she could not contain such power.

If Theresa insisted on accommodating that kind of power, she might be in great danger.

It may not be the time for her to inherit the power yet at this moment, and this will most likely be a test and baptism.

If she survives, she will inherit the arrangement of Lady Doom. If she fails...

Charles couldn't tell what would happen.

After all, he had very few memories of bad luck in his mind.

The other person loves him very much and has a kind character, but this kindness is only related to things related to him.

At the same time, as a true God, especially a true God who has existed in this world for a long time, she may have some extreme thoughts.

It was as if she allowed other women to appear around Charles, and was even willing to provide her with the power to help Charles.

Such a gift cannot be completely determined to be in good faith.

Her original intention might have been for Charles, and there was no malice in this gift.

But the gift itself or the power itself may be the greatest "malice".

No one could tell if she was harboring thoughts like, 'Only those who can help Ciel are worthy of being given this power, and those who can't even eat the food that's right in front of them don't deserve to stay by his side.'

"I understand what you mean, Rocks." Charles didn't say much, but Theresa roughly understood his concerns.

Facing this worry, Theresa smiled brightly. "You should have more confidence in her. I believe she wouldn't do anything to make you sad, even to protect me, her love rival."

Theresa had seen many memories about Ms. Doom and Charles, but because of some special power, she had almost forgotten those memories.

Just the impression of Lady Misfortune that Theresa had at this moment might not be as much as the fragmentary memories that Charles had awakened.

But even with this incomplete memory, she was able to learn a lot of things and even resonate with some things.

At this moment, she was very similar to Ms. Misfortune, so she was able to understand the other's feelings better.

If it happened to someone else, perhaps they might really be killed by the power, but if it happened to her, if it was her, the new person who had entered Rocks' heart and could bring him comfort...this kind of thing would never happen.

"Gods and humans think differently." Charles said seriously.

As a human being, Charles has many characteristics and is easily affected by emotions, causing him to do some irrational things.

But when he became a demigod, under the influence of power and divinity, there were many times when he could feel the separation between himself and ordinary people.

Sometimes I can make some terrible decisions in a very calm state of mind.

Outside of the Five Gods Sect...even within the Five Gods Sect, there are many people who measure life by "value" and treat life as a simple number.

“When there is love in the heart, God will also be human.”

"You will never understand a lady's heart." Having said that, Theresa knew that it was not that Charles did not understand, he was just accustomed to thinking of the worst outcome, especially when facing the people around him.

"So... Rocks! Please believe her, and please believe me." At this moment, Theresa seemed to be able to transcend time and see into the other person's heart, and at the same time, she could also see into her own heart.

She didn't want to be just a beautiful vase or porcelain to be admired and played with, she wanted to be a force that could help Rocks.

So, Theresa would seize any opportunity that gave her the power to help him.

At this moment, Charles seemed to be able to see the light in Theresa's eyes.

At the same time, his sight seemed to have crossed over a long period of time and saw the Lady of Misfortune in the past, and saw her encouragement to Theresa.

"Believe her...believe you too?" Charles reached out and gently stroked Theresa's hair.

"To be honest, it's hard to believe. After all, Theresa, you are so confused. Although you look like a smart and capable noble lady at first, after getting to know you for a long time, you will find that your essence is silly and cute. It's totally unbelievable." Charles teased with a smile.

Theresa's mouth twitched slightly, she clenched her fists tightly, and had an urge to rush up and beat Charles to death.

Peroz on the other side also nodded thoughtfully, "Think about it carefully, what Rocks said is right. You have never been very smart, Theresa."

"When I was little, I only listened to Uncle Doug, but when I grew up, I became exactly like Rocks~"

Unable to bear it any longer, Teresa rushed straight towards Peroz.

However, even though she had gained extraordinary powers, the gap between her and Peroz still existed, and she was captured by Peroz in just a few moves.

"You bastard! Let me go quickly! Be careful or I'll bite you!" Teresa said angrily while struggling.

"That won't work..." Peroz looked at Theresa seriously. "If you can't even break free from these crappy restraints, then I can't trust You, Theresa, to do anything dangerous."

Theresa could sense the heart of Lady Doom, and so could Charles, but Peroz...

She didn't know who Lady Doom was, nor did she know her character, let alone understand her. But as an archaeologist, and even a historian, the Krolov family's records showed countless people who had fallen before the gift of power.

The fact that Teresa was able to become a high-level transcendent in the City of Gluttony had already made Peroz feel some danger - transcendental characteristics did not directly transform into power after fusion.

For most ordinary people, there is a period of confrontation after the initial adjustment.

During this period, supernatural powers may run wild at any time.

After going through this period of confrontation, one must constantly guard against the erosion of the extraordinary power on oneself. If one fails in this confrontation just once, it is enough to make a person's character change drastically and become like a madman.

The extraordinary characteristics inherited by the Krolov family are very gentle, because of the mission of the Holy Light and bloodline inheritance.

Other extraordinary people do not have any mission or power inherited from their bloodline, let alone the Holy Light.

“It’s never a good thing to achieve success overnight.”

"You are now a Sequence 5 high-level transcendent, but you are completely unable to control your own power."

"Forget about controlling it. In many cases, you can't even use or stop using your own power."

"You didn't even think about training and controlling your strength during the whole trip. You were only focused on being intimate with Rocks."

"You're like this... I really can't let you down."

Perozzi's words left Theresa silent.

She knew that the other party was doing this for her own good, but she also knew that her performance along the way was indeed a bit bad.

but...

This cannot be blamed on her. After all, her relationship with Charles has just undergone a qualitative change and they are inseparable.

"Weren't you just busy being intimate with Rocks the whole way?" Theresa was a little annoyed when she met his gaze.

"But I don't need to pass the test of the ritual." Theresa was speechless.

"Rocks might choose to trust you because of that lady and you, but I don't know that lady, so... let me see your determination."

Theoretically, Peroz shouldn't interfere in Theresa's affairs.

After all, she is not someone who likes to interfere with other people's choices.

But Theresa was one of the few friends she had since she was a child, and she didn't want her to make a choice that was not in line with her current strength out of ignorance.

At the same time...it's also an incentive.

Peroz vaguely knew that he might not be able to stop Theresa from continuing the ritual.

But she absolutely didn't want Theresa to enter this strange ceremony with this look on her face.

At least let herself feel her determination, at least let her see Theresa's determination.

The extraordinary world is not a joke.

Now that she has stepped in, she should have her own awareness. The previous Theresa was too weak and could not make her feel at ease.

"As you know, the Krolov family's extraordinary characteristics are very special. Although they possess some unique powers, they need tools to unleash their lethality."

"Now I won't use those tools, or even the power I've been given here."

"I'm not even that much stronger than a well-trained soldier. If even I can't defeat him..."

Perozzi didn't say much, but Theresa understood what she meant.

Theoretically speaking, if Peroz "ties her own hands", any low-level or mid-level transcendent would have the possibility of defeating her. After all, the transcendent sequence of the Krolov family is too special.

With Theresa's current Sequence 5 strength, she only needs to exert a little bit of her own strength to break free from Peroz's restraints and defeat her.

But the embarrassing thing is that Peroz's extraordinary sequence is very special, and Teresa's extraordinary characteristics are also very special.

This was something Peroz had not imagined.

Luck is a powerful force.

Among all the extraordinary sequences, the extraordinary ones who control the power of luck can be considered powerful.

But when it comes to pure combat...the power of luck is a bit weak, especially for a novice who has learned everything overnight.

After all, luck is an intangible thing. Teresa, who has full control over her own power, may be able to easily deal with Peroz.

But now...Teresa, who had no idea of ​​the true purpose of her power and could not control her power freely, could not find any way to break free from Peroz's restraints.

Looking at Theresa who was very anxious but didn't know what to do, and Peroz who had a strange expression on his face, Charles couldn't help laughing.

"Peroz...Teresa's extraordinary sequence is very similar to your family's extraordinary sequence."

"In some ways, it's even more extreme than your family's extraordinary sequence."

"Under such circumstances, it's not easy for her to defeat you with her hands tied by you."

Of course, it’s not too difficult.
