Chapter 708: Obtaining the Seed of God!
Very soon, the passage before them became clear.
An ancient and boundless aura spread out directly from within it.
"Now probably is not the time for us to be talking about all that."
"After we settle things here, let's have a proper drink."
"Then I'll send you back to your original world."
"In that world, you still have bonds that belong to you, right?"
Ryuunosuke said with a smile.
Although he was still very curious about Jay [the first generation] and everything he had experienced, the current situation left no room for indulgence.
The final step was already right in front of them.
If they failed now, then everything that had happened before would become meaningless.
"Alright."
"When things here are over, we brothers will have a good drink!"
"Get ready."
"We're going to kill God!"
After saying that, Ryuunosuke looked ahead with burning eyes.
Then the captains and squad members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates all appeared behind him.
Seeing that lineup, Lilith immediately rushed into the Path of God.
Adam, who had been standing nearby, saw that and followed without hesitation.
"Mr. Jay, you should be able to control this Gate of Eternity too."
"Gaino will stay behind to assist you."
"If we do not come back out, then use the Gate of Eternity to swallow this entire Path of God."
"Though I do not think you will get that chance."
After saying that, Ryuunosuke led the Dragon Hunter Pirates directly inside.
Watching them disappear into the passage, Jay [the first generation] sighed with a complicated expression.
Back then, he had merely chosen to place his hopes on Ryuunosuke.
But now that things had really reached this stage, even Jay felt a little dazed.
Once they stepped into the Path of God, the surrounding space instantly distorted.
The entrance that had been behind them disappeared completely.
It could no longer be seen.
It could no longer be sensed.
It was as if, if they failed to obtain the Seed of God here, they would never leave this place again.
"Captain, there is a large amount of special energy inside this place."
"And besides that, our own energy is not being suppressed here."
Meliodas slowly looked at his hands and spoke.
"Not being suppressed?"
"Then this really is a completely separate space."
Ryuunosuke nodded.
At the same time, the energy within his body rose once more.
A mark quietly appeared between his brows.
"System?"
"What are you trying to do?"
Ryuunosuke froze for a moment.
Just now, he had clearly felt the system trembling in his mind.
"Complete the mission."
"Seize the Seed of God."
The system's voice rang out.
Hearing that, Ryuunosuke suddenly remembered something.
His very first companion had always been by his side.
The system.
After all, when he first came to this world, the system had already been with him.
"Alright."
"I will definitely complete the mission."
"And thank you for taking care of me all these years."
After taking a deep breath, Ryuunosuke surged forward in a burst of flames, leading everyone deeper inside.
In a very short time, they passed through the passage and arrived at an enormous space.
Lilith was there.
Adam was there too.
But both of them were currently bound in place.
Above them, two condensed masses of energy floated in the air.
"Is this the Seed of God?"
"Adam, what are you doing here, some kind of performance art?"
Ryuunosuke looked at the two of them strangely.
"Our energy is being devoured by the Seed of God!"
"If we are not saved soon, then the Seed of God will hatch using our energy!"
Adam's voice was already weak.
The situation was obvious.
They had only just entered, yet a tremendous amount of their power had already been siphoned away.
If no one rescued them immediately, what awaited them would most likely be the birth of God itself.
"Save Adam first."
"As for Lilith, I'll kill her."
After saying that, Ryuunosuke shot directly toward Lilith.
The moment Lilith heard his words, panic flashed across her face.
At this point, she could not even dodge, much less fight back.
If Ryuunosuke attacked now, then she really would die.
"Chi chi chi..."
Ryuunosuke unleashed a rapid barrage of attacks.
Lilith's health bar plummeted at a visible rate.
This was precisely why Ryuunosuke had chosen her first.
The health bar card he had placed on her earlier was still active.
Otherwise, killing a divine creature would never have been this straightforward.
Soon, Lilith's health bar bottomed out.
"Captain Ryuunosuke..."
"Puff!"
Lilith had wanted to say something in panic.
But Ryuunosuke did not even give her that chance.
The Pact of the Underworld flashed.
Her body and soul were severed and annihilated together.
Then Ryuunosuke reached up and directly grabbed the Seed of God that had been suspended above Lilith.
"I told you already."
"If you betray me once, do not dream of deceiving me a second time."
Ryuunosuke looked at the remains on the ground and casually stored them in his system space.
Whether the corpse would be useful later or not, it was always better to keep it.
At the same time, Adam had already been rescued on the other side.
Meliodas had forcefully shattered the aura binding him with sheer magical power.
But Adam no longer looked anything like the imposing figure he had been at the beginning.
He now resembled an old man whose body had been hollowed out.
At least half of his blood and energy had already been drained away.
"Captain Ryuunosuke... be careful... the Seed of God is about to hatch..."
After struggling to say that, Adam immediately fainted.
Hearing those words, Ryuunosuke also sensed that something was wrong.
"System."
"Have I completed the mission?"
Ryuunosuke asked directly.
"Ding."
"Congratulations, host. Mission completed."
"Obtain the Seed of God and lift the world's restrictions."
The system prompt sounded immediately.
At the same time, the Seed of God in Ryuunosuke's hand vanished.
Seeing that, Ryuunosuke let out a breath of relief.
That thing had felt like a ticking bomb in his hand.
Now that it had been taken by the system, it was actually a good thing.
At the same time, the moment the world's restrictions on him were removed, the energy in his body began to fuse together at an astonishing speed.
"Haah..."
Ryuunosuke slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Strange and ancient patterns began to spread across his body.
They looked old, mysterious, and incomparably profound.
"So this... is what it means to step into the divine realm?"
"I finally understand what was lacking in my body before."
"These divine laws are the foundation for grasping the coordinates of all worlds!"
Ryuunosuke raised one hand.
A massive astrolabe instantly appeared above his palm.
Within it were countless folded spaces.
And among the points of light shining there were the worlds where the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates originally came from.
"Captain, are those the worlds we came from?"
Najenda flew over at once, her face full of shock.
To see countless worlds reduced to tiny lights before them was an impact beyond words.
"Yes."
"But right now, we still have a bit of trouble left to deal with."
Ryuunosuke calmly replied.
"God Assimilation."
As his aura spread out, the bodies of every member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates lit up one after another.
When the light faded, a special mark had appeared on every single one of them.
At the same time, powerful auras surged from their bodies.
Crack...
Just then, a sound came from not far away.
The Adam Seed, which had just devoured Adam's energy, had already begun to crack.
