Chapter 242: A Sea of Dead Bodies, The Grim Reaper’s Scythe

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A metal-origin divine body! That’s the aura of a metal-origin divine body!”
Dodola was stunned. “O’ great God of Time! What exactly has Meng Lei done? Why has he suddenly obtained a metal-origin divine body for no reason whatsoever?”
Even if Dodola hadn’t recognized the metal-origin divine body at the start of Meng Lei’s assimilation process, it would have lived all these years in vain if it still couldn’t recognize it as the process went on.
A metal-origin divine body!
That was definitely a metal-origin divine body!
Meng Lei had actually inexplicably obtained a metal-origin divine body right under its nose! Dodola felt as if everything it knew had been overturned!
Origin divine bodies were an inborn characteristic!
What was the meaning of “inborn”?
It meant that the characteristic existed in one from birth! If it wasn’t there at the point of birth, then they would never have it, no matter how much they tried!
Dodola had never heard of anyone successfully modifying their body into an origin divine body after they were born!
Dodola circled Meng Lei vigorously, its eyes boring into him as if wanting to see through all of his secrets and see through him.
Meng Lei also just so happened to open his eyes at this point. A couple of sharp glints flashed across his eyes, and then, two cracks formed in the air with a rip.
Dodola promptly asked, “Be honest with me, Meng Lei. What exactly is up with the metal-origin divine body?”
“I just gained it for some inexplicable reason!”
Meng Lei blinked at Dodola.
“Some inexplicable reason...”
Dodola gnashed its teeth in frustration, feeling the urge to beat someone up. “You’re always spinning some kind of story whenever I ask you something crucial! Do you know that you’ll end up friendless if you do that?
“No, this won’t do! You must give me an honest explanation today! Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep!”
What does whether you’re able to get to sleep or not have anything to do with me?
Meng Lei secretly dissed Dodola, but nevertheless, he still answered, “I have a miraculous ability that allows me to plunder bloodlines, divine bodies, special abilities... and so on, and assimilate them into my own body so that I can become stronger!”
“What did you say?”
A huge shudder went through the utterly astounded Dodola. “Does an ability like that even exist?”
“Of course!”
Meng Lei gave Dodola a smug smile. “That’s how the Gods-Slaying Rat, Divine Netherworld Phoenix, and Hundred-Armed Giant bloodlines, as well as my Teleportation, Transfer, and other special abilities came about!
“Of course, I’ll continue to plunder even more bloodlines, divine bodies, and special abilities in the future, too!”
“...”
Dodola was stunned. Only after a long while did two words come out of its mouth—”You monster!”
“Thanks for the compliment!”
A smiling Meng Lei then asked, “Do you think there’s a need for me to assimilate the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline?”
“The Steel-Winged Angel bloodline?” Dodola was slightly taken aback before it realized what Meng Lei meant. It asked, “Are you thinking of assimilating the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline?”
“I’ll assimilate it if it’s useful, but if it isn’t, then I’ll leave it.”
With a shake of his head, Meng Lei said, “I’m a very practical person. Everything I do is for the sake of power!”
“Of course it’s useful!”
Without any hesitation whatsoever, Dodola said, “The Steel-Winged Angel bloodline is in no way inferior to the Fallen Angel, Gods-Slaying Rat, Divine Netherworld Phoenix, and Hundred-Armed Giant bloodlines. Assimilating it will give you lots of benefits!”
“Tell me about it in detail!”
Meng Lei perked up!
“Firstly, after you assimilate the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline, you’ll gain speed that’s as fast as the speed of light. The Angel Gods are well-known for their speed. It’s no joke!
“Secondly, you’ll also come to possess superbly strong defenses! Although your defenses are already very strong, the addition of the Steel-Winged Angel’s defenses will definitely be an extra powerful boost, allowing your defenses to reach fearsome levels!”
Dodola went on unceasingly. “Next, every part of the Steel-Winged Angel’s body is a weapon. If you assimilate the bloodline, your offensive power will also greatly increase!
“You’ve never seen how the Steel-Winged Angels wove to and fro and crisscrossed left and right at will as they slaughtered the Devils during the war between the Gods and the Devils. The sight is simply too terrifying!
“Lastly, as well as most importantly,” Dodola’s eyes shone keenly and brightly as it said, “The Angel Gods are an extremely powerful clan of gods. This is especially true in the Celestial Realm, where they hold fearsome power and authority!
“If you own the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline, you’ll have a chance of receiving the Angel Gods’ priority grooming and receive a great deal of benefits for free like the Titan Spiritual God!”
“The Angel Gods’ grooming...”
Meng Lei’s eyes lit up. The allure was rather great. Would the Angel Gods be like the Theodore clan and bestow upon him a few hundred existential planes as his territory, too?
“As they say, big trees provide great shade. If you can join a powerful force, it’ll be greatly advantageous toward your future development and growth!”
Dodola snickered and asked, “Why do you think native true gods like the Dragon God and the Beast God desire so much to join a powerful force yet are unable to?
“It’s because they aren’t qualified enough! Now that you have such a fantastic opportunity, you mustn’t let it pass you by! Otherwise, you’ll receive divine punishment!”
“That makes sense!”
Meng Lei nodded incessantly. A shrewd glint flashed in his eyes as he said, “Even if we take a step back and assume that I don’t wish to join the Angel Gods, the assimilation of the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline itself is tantamount to having an additional choice!”
“Yes, that’s exactly it!”
“Alright, I know what to do now!”
Meng Lei nodded repeatedly. Then, he resolutely gave the command. “System, plunder the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline!”
“Ding! The Steel-Winged Angel bloodline is classified as a higher life form’s bloodline. This pair of Steel-Winged Angel wings belongs to an Eight-Winged Steel Angel,” The system stated coldly, “Price Estimation: Plundering said bloodline requires 19.6 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals!”
“(⊙_⊙)? 19.6 million?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but gasp. “That’s too freaking expensive! I won’t plunder it anymore! I won’t plunder it anymore! I can’t afford to!”
At once, the system’s presence vanished.
“Have you succeeded?” asked an excited Dodola.
“It failed!”
Meng Lei gave Dodola a wry smile. “This pair of wings belongs to an Eight-Winged Steel Angel. I can’t afford the cost of plundering it!”
“An Eight-Winged Steel Angel?”
Dodola was greatly disappointed. “Eight-Winged Steel Angels are comparable to higher deities. It has indeed exceeded the range of what you can plunder. It’s understandable why you wouldn’t be able to do it!”
“Yeah! I can’t plunder it mainly because it’s too expensive!”
“Expensive?”
“My bad, what I mean is that it’s too high a grade! When I become stronger, perhaps I’ll be able to plunder it in the future!”
“Alright! Speaking of which, this is rather strange, though. Why would an Eight-Winged Steel Angel’s—and on top of that, one who even has a metal-origin divine body—wings show up in a place like this?”
...
Meng Lei cast a habitual glance at his stats interface upon exiting the Tower of Time and started to take inventory of his new gains.
True enough, the interface had changed again!
Host: Meng Lei
Race: Human (Primeval Bloodline: Primordial Human , Assimilated Bloodlines: Gods-Slaying Rat, Divine Netherworld Phoenix, Hundred-Armed Giant)
Wealth: 49.41 million Laws of Nature Origin Crystals
Physical Body Constitution: Metal-Origin Divine Body (1%)
Spirit: Half-Deity (Pinnacle-Grade)
Others: Some increase
“My Physical Body Constitution has become a metal-origin divine body!
“1%?”
“‘1%’? What does the ‘1%’ at the back mean?”
“Ding! A friendly tip: The metal-origin divine body is formed using metal-elemental laws of nature as a source. The host’s body is flesh and blood. Hence it hasn’t perfectly integrated with the host.”
“It hasn’t perfectly integrated with my body? In other words, the ‘1%’ represents my metal-origin divine body’s assimilation rate? It’s surprisingly rather similar to bloodline assimilation rates!”
Meng Lei understood now. He asked, “System, how much does it cost to buy credit for the metal-origin divine body assimilation rate?”
“Ding! Raising the metal-origin divine body assimilation rate by 1% requires 1 million Divinity Crystals!”
“1 million... Divinity Crystals? Forget it, forget it!”
Meng Lei broke into a resigned smile at once. “That’s too expensive. I won’t fetch that high a price even if you sell me off!”
After adjusting his frame of mind, Meng Lei then continued to look through the treasures. There was a very ample amount of treasures in the Titan Empire’s treasury. Hence he looked forward very much to what he would see next.
He collected the items as he looked through them.
At last, he came to a box. The box measured four by two meters in length and breadth and was one-meter-tall. Densely packed laws of nature runes were inscribed all over it.
With Meng Lei’s prowess in his comprehension of laws of nature, he could tell at once that these runes formed a sealing magic circle.
“I wonder what’s inside the box for it to actually be sealed?”
Puzzled, Meng Lei began to break the seal. This didn’t pose any problem to him at all.
The seal was broken a brief moment later. Right away, a dense, rich aura of blood and death emanated from within, and the temperature around them fell by a few degrees out of the blue.
“For it to actually give off such a strong aura of blood and death, what can this possibly be?”
Meng Lei opened the box. A blood-red beam of light shot out from within, the resulting wind causing his cheeks to hurt. Meng Lei couldn’t help but step back.
A huge scythe that was fully blood-red in color as though doused in and forged from blood laid within the box.
The handle measured three-meters-long while the blade measured almost two-meters-wide. A blood-red chain was attached to the bottom end.
The incomparably sharp blade glinted coldly in the light, bewitching and evil, bloodthirsty and emanating a dead stillness!
As Meng Lei gazed upon the blood-red scythe, he felt as if he were staring at an incredibly evil demon, and chills ran down his spine.
“What an unholy scythe!”
Meng Lei was astounded. Nevertheless, he still grabbed hold of the blood-red scythe.
Buzz...
The scythe trembled lightly as a few icy glints of light flashed across the buzzing wide and broad blade!
Slash!
Meng Lei brandished the scythe. With a slash, the box, which was forged from an unknown kind of metal, was instantly sundered into two!
The scythe continued to slice through the air, actually slashing a tiny, barely-discernible space-time rift in the air!
“What a sharp scythe this is! It’s even sharper than the blood-red machete! What level of divine weapon is this?”
Meng Lei could hardly believe it. Nevertheless, he still dripped a drop of blood onto the scythe. As though a drop into the ocean, the blood seeped right into the scythe.
“Haha! This divine weapon doesn’t belong to anyone!”
Meng Lei was thrilled!
Buzz...
The scythe began to tremble vigorously.
The next moment, a dense beam of blood-red light shot into the sky. Meng Lei felt the world spinning around him, and then, he actually bizarrely went into a blood-red world!
Blood-red skies, blood-red lands!
Blood-red mountains, blood-red rocks!
An infinite number of dead bodies were strewn all over the blood-red lands!
There were Titan deities that reached as tall as one million feet!
There were Eight-Winged Angels with eight wings on their backs!
There were primordial Colossal Dragons that spanned as long as one million feet!
There were also dead bodies of various other lifeforms, which gave off vast, majestic divine power that Meng Lei didn’t recognize...
But all the dead bodies had a common trait—they were headless!
Yes, that’s right!
Headless!
They were all headless bodies!
“Where have their heads gone?”
Puzzlement filled Meng Lei. Then, he saw a mud monument made out of stacked heads in the middle of the wide, spacious mountain of dead bodies!
There were Titan heads, Dragon heads, Angel heads, as well as the heads of other deities...
An infinite number of heads piled together to form a 100,000-feet-tall mountain of heads, and at the peak of the mountain stood a black figure dressed in a black hood and holding a blood-red scythe!
The howling blood winds blew across the black robe, causing it to flap loudly in the wind. Blood dripped from the blood-red scythe, forming a bewitching and unholy sight.
“Just what kind of unholy weapon is this?”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Meng Lei!”
“Meng Lei!”
Dodola’s voice suddenly rang out beside his ear.
Whoosh!
The blood-red world instantly broke into blood-red fragments. Meng Lei then found himself back on the half-plane again, with Dodola currently calling out to him.
“This scythe...”
Meng Lei gazed at the blood-red scythe in his hand, a few beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
“Why aren’t you replying, Meng Lei?”
Dodola started to shout again.
“I’m here, Dodola!”
Meng Lei asked, “Is something up?”
A rather incensed Dodola asked, “What’s wrong with you, kid? Why did you take so long to respond?”
A puzzled Meng Lei asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I discovered something incredible when I was looking up something just now, Meng Lei!”
Dodola said excitedly, “Among all the Steel-Winged Angels of the Angel Gods, there’s only one person that owns a metal-origin divine body!”
Meng Lei quickly asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s that Great Perfection true god!” Dodola snickered as it asked, “Do you know what this means?
“It means that this pair of wings comes from that Great Perfection Steel-Winged Angel! If you can assimilate his bloodline and form a connection with him, you’ll become an impressive figure!”
“Let’s leave the matter of assimilating the Steel-Winged Angel bloodline to another time!” Meng Lei shook his head. Then, he said, “I have a weapon here that I’d like you to take a look at!”
