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

"You're lucky." Reiner stood up unsteadily and said in a trance.

"Maybe this is fate's choice." His voice was devoid of any emotion, making people feel so awkward that they wanted to die.

"As a promise between me and 'myself', I will do you a favor."

"You can choose to accept or reject..."

After saying these words, Reiner's body fell to the ground, and then some strange substances came out of the furnace of rules condensed by the City of Dreams and slowly fell on Reiner's body.

Charles looked at the other person cautiously.

Reiner is very strange now.

He felt as if he had returned to his original state, but the other person's presence just now seemed to have left something on his body that he could slightly feel.

"Reiner..." Ciel felt a little heavy.

What happened at that moment was something he had not expected.

Although he didn't know what specific changes had taken place in him, Ciel could feel that the Reiner in front of him was no longer the Reiner he knew.

Charles couldn't figure out what changes had happened to him, and even finding it extremely difficult to notice the changes in him.

"Rocks...you seem worried about me?" Reiner slowly walked to Ciel's side. "Your worry is unnecessary. I'm fine, better than ever."

"Did you see my eyes?"

“These are the eyes of God.”

“I can see the truth of the world.”

At this time, Reiner's eyes had become extremely blue and deep, and just one glance almost made Ciel fall into it.

"With its help, the problems that troubled us have disappeared."

As Reiner spoke, he began to weave a web of rules before Ciel's eyes.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Reiner solved the problem that had been bothering them.

The extraordinary characteristics of a brand new righteous god appeared before them.

"Look, how beautiful it looks." Reiner held it high in his hands and sang softly in an aria.

“It’s like a gem that exudes infinite charm.”

“No one can resist its charm once they see it.”

"But I can."

"Now, I will hand over this power to control the authority of the gods to you."

Reiner's expression became crazy, and Ciel could no longer bear it, bursting out all his strength to stop him.

However, when his power was about to fall in front of the other party, it mysteriously disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"My friend, don't worry."

"It belongs to you."

"But now, he's still missing something."

As he spoke, Reiner put his hands on his eyes, and then he slowly closed his eyes.

The eyes and the extraordinary properties in his hands merged with each other, and a power that made Charles palpitate slowly emerged.

Got it.

Do whatever it takes to get it.

He seemed to be able to hear someone shouting in his ears, in his heart, and in the depths of his soul.

Chapter 437: The Price of Fate's Gift

Charles used his strong will to suppress this impulse from his body and soul.

Reiner didn't care, and just casually threw this extraordinary characteristic of the righteous god to Charles.

He turned around and stared blankly at the furnace of the Dream City with his only remaining eye.

"Not enough... There are not enough raw materials left..."

"But things like raw materials... can't limit me."

As Reiner spoke, he raised his head. In an instant, the space that was supposed to be closed changed, and a bright galaxy appeared above Ciel's head.

The galaxy looks very beautiful, but it is very dangerous.

Just like the star representing greed that had once landed, it is now surrounding the sky of the main world.

"Locks, you seem to have ignored them from the beginning."

“They are obviously the most perfect raw materials.”

As he spoke, Reiner stretched out his hand towards the sky, then he gently picked it up, and a "star" appeared in his hand. Soon, the power of the curse was slowly converted into extraordinary power.

Charles was stunned. To be honest, he really overlooked this point.

When the star representing the curse of greed descended, Charles had spent a lot of energy to transform the curse into power.

But when creating his own extraordinary characteristics, he intentionally or unintentionally ignored the source of extraordinary power in the sky.

不 ...

It should not be said to be ignored.

But he instinctively didn't want to think about those things.

The curse of the stars is not scary, what is scary is the meaning of their existence.

Their source is connected to the dark side of this world, to the person that Charles does not want to mention. Even if the power from that place can really be melted into extraordinary properties, Charles finds it hard to believe that these powers can be used by him.

But now, 'Reiner' treated it as fuel without any care.

Not long after, the second god-level supernatural power appeared in his hand. Then, just like when he created the first one, he dug out his only remaining eye and placed it on top.

This completed extraordinary feature was thrown next to Charles like the previous one.

After doing everything, Reiner looked at Ciel with his empty eyes expressionlessly.

This made Charles feel a little awkward.

However, this look that made him feel uncomfortable did not attract much attention from him.

Now all he sees are the two god-level extraordinary characteristics created by Reiner.

Now he already has the extraordinary characteristics of the Goddess of the Sea and the God of War and Glory in his body. With the two in front of him, he has four extraordinary characteristics at the level of a true god. In this way, he can go to the center of the sun to accept the test of the eternal blazing sun. As long as he passes the test, he can inherit the fifth extraordinary characteristic.

After making up for the extraordinary power he lacks, he can try to conduct an experiment to reach the sky in one step.

If this experiment succeeds, then he might be able to possess the power of the sole creator in one leap.

This is what Charles has always been pursuing.

If he succeeded, then everything that troubled him now would no longer be a problem, and he could truly live the life he wanted.

but...

The origins of the two righteous gods with extraordinary characteristics in front of him made Charles a little hesitant.

Although it seemed to be made by Reiner, Ciel clearly felt that this was something created by the One and Only Creator using Reiner's body.

And Ciel's ultimate enemy will be the other party.

When the other party knew that he was his enemy, Charles would never think that the other party would help him out of kindness.

Although the extraordinary characteristics before him looked genuine in every way and did not leave any backdoors, Charles still had doubts about it.

"Compared to living a miserable life under His shadow... I think you should be more willing to give it a try." Reiner murmured softly.

"I am indeed willing to fight, but I want to fight, not die."

"Even if the extraordinary properties condensed by that kind of power are tempting to me, I will not use them."

"After all, the source of the curse power comes from that guy..." Charles' face was gloomy.

What is going on with Reiner's current condition?

Charles stared at the other person intently, but... no matter how he looked at it, the other person's current state was very "normal".

"You have no choice..." Reiner's voice was a little disembodied.

“Some things have no choice from the very beginning.”

"You are special enough, so special that you even think there is something wrong with you."

"That's why you're so eager to gain that kind of power."

"Now there are just a few more risks..."

"Locks, you've never lacked the spirit of adventure. Why don't you take one last chance?"

"Who are you?" Charles slowly surrounded Reiner with his own strength.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but he finally made up his mind.

If the other party is really controlled by the only creator as he guessed, then even if he feels reluctant and ashamed in his heart, he will take action to suppress or even kill him.

At least let the other person die in this era.

"Who am I? Rocks, your question is really strange."

"I'm your friend Reiner."

"That Reiner you thought was a fool..."

Reiner's extraordinary power slowly gathered and he confronted Ciel.

Charles took a few deep breaths. He had never felt so tired.

He tried hard to remain calm, but the extraordinary characteristics in his body seemed to be infected and began to become restless. Under this restlessness, Charles could barely control his strength, but now his mind began to feel dizzy as if he was drunk.

His mind began to dull.

The backlash of the extraordinary characteristics suddenly broke out, and countless whispers sounded in Charles' ears. He couldn't help but slowly stretched out his hand forward. He could feel that the two extraordinary characteristics in Reiner's hand were a panacea for everything. As long as he got them, all his problems could be solved.

Just when he was about to grasp the extraordinary characteristics, Charles' outstretched hand suddenly broke and fell straight to the ground.

He used his own strength to continuously intensify the pain caused by the broken arm. With the help of the pain, Charles temporarily gained the strength to fight against the backlash and loss of control.

He originally thought that he was the most special being. He didn't need to worry about the backlash when taking potions or supernatural powers, nor would he be tempted out of control by the power of supernatural powers.

But now it seems he was a little naive.

All the gifts bestowed by fate had already been secretly marked with a price. The backlash and loss of control in him were not non-existent, but were postponed to the future, or to this moment, by someone with great power.

In that instant, he experienced all the backlash and loss of control required to transform from an ordinary person into a god. Ciel's pride in his willpower crumbled. Now, he could only rely on the pain, carefully using countless beautiful memories in his memory as anchors to prevent himself from being deceived by those voices.

"Ha...ha...ha..." Charles supported his thighs with his hands and kept breathing heavily.

Reiner smiled slightly and slowly walked towards where Ciel was.

His movements were slow, but Ciel didn't have the energy or energy to dodge.

"I'm not your enemy, at least not now."

"You should be able to sense that there are some things you can't do right now. For example, becoming my enemy."

"There are only two paths before you now."

"Either you completely abandon all your pride and dignity and surrender like those people before you. I will determine whether you still have value in existing."

"Or... continue on the path you envision for yourself."

"Perhaps at that time you were capable of causing me even the slightest trouble."

"Let me see your...um...what do you call enlightenment?"

Charles didn't say anything but just glared at the other person fiercely.

Even though he was restrained now, he would not walk in the direction pointed by the other party.

Charles would never do such a foolish thing as walking on the path set by the enemy.

"Yeah!"
