Chapter 126: Fallen Blood Slave, Gift of the Goddess

Just like that, under the arrangements of the regent, Lynn arrived at a remote residence in the capital and stayed there temporarily.

Her goal for visiting Leta was to hunt the Great Teacher of White Light.

However, according to the regent, this was the capital of Leta. Apart from the Great Teacher, there were many other demigods who were on guard for any invasions.

Once Lynn attacked the Great Teacher, it might only take an instant for her to be encircled by the demigods from all over Leta.

As such, the regent would arrange a perfect opportunity for Lynn to fight the Great Teacher one-on-one.

In reality... Lynn did not mind that too much.

In fact, she was looking forward to the chance to fight against all the top-tier combatants of Leta at the same time.

Of course, it was not because she was invincible and confident that she could kill through the demigod army of the strongest elven empire singlehandedly. It was purely because it was exciting.

Fighting and killing were life and death battles to begin with. Although it was pleasurable to defeat the enemy, if she were to be killed with her body utterly destroyed by the enemy's malice… In fact, it would bring about even greater anticipation for her.

She did not care about winning or losing at all.

However, it was rare for this unfamiliar regent to be so friendly to her.

The shy Lynn was truly embarrassed to reject him.

Therefore, she obeyed the regent's instructions obediently and lay dormant for the time being, waiting for the opportunity.

After arriving at her temporary residence, she chose a random bedroom and sealed the door to begin her prayer ceremony.

This was the most solemn, sacred and anticipated segment for a fallen follower of the Nether Realm.

Offering sacrifices to listen to the edict.

The god Lynn believed in was the strongest Blood Empress of the Nether Realm.

For the Empress, the sacrifices required were blood and heads.

The number and quality of the sacrifices would directly determine the Blood Empress's mood after the sacrificial ceremony.

The more and better the sacrifices were, the higher the chances of pleasing the Empress and obtaining her blessings.

This time round, the sacrifice prepared by Lynn for the Blood Empress was definitely top-grade.

It was the blood of Histia Haines, who was lauded as the strongest demigod of the mortal world.

First, Lynn cut her wrist and used blood to draw a rune formation that connected to the Nether Realm to communicate with the Blood Empress.

Thereafter, she carefully reached under the collar of her black robe and took out a black notebook.

The black notebook was sealed with some strange leather. Its shimmering surface shone like water, resembling a flowing black lake.

This was a record book that was skinned with the scalp of the deceased spirits that lingered around the netherworld.

It was an item that belonged to Lynn in the past.

This notebook was like a small museum in her embrace and contained the spoils of war that she had collected from all over the mortal world.

The imprints carved on it using the blood of Lynn's enemies were proof of their submission to her.

Lynn opened her notebook and flipped through the pages rapidly.

Ancient dragons, Battle God race, Time Corpses, Orphans of the Moon...

What was recorded in the notebook were countless shocking names imprinted with blood by those powerful divine living beings.

The imprint of a left hand represented an opponent admitting defeat.

The imprint of a right hand represented death.

As for divine beings without the concept of left or right hands, they were marked with words.

On the latest page.

[North of Leta, Wind Spike Wasteland]

[Imperial Guard, Histia Haines]

This was the strong foe that Lynn had just defeated yesterday.

This was Histia, the strongest demigod with a 95% bloodline purity of the goddess from the Haines Empire.

What should have been blood was replaced by a divinity crystal.

A crystalline fingerprint was imprinted clearly on the booklet—it was the imprint left behind by a left hand.

"The sacrifice this time round should be able to please Her Majesty the Empress…"

Lynn said softly in anticipation.

Thereafter, she placed the notebook in front of the formation and the ceremony began.

…

At the same time.

Nether Realm, Land of Skulls.

Ever since she was kicked out of Rayne's body thanks to Olivia's dirty scheme, the Blood Empress had been depressed.

She was not only regretful that she had lost control of a high-quality follower.

What made her even sadder was that… During her absence, her most beloved follower, Rayne Haines, was enduring the taint of Olivia at every single moment!

Damn it!

The moment the Blood Empress thought about the ugly scene of Olivia smiling coquettishly while licking Rayne from head to toe using her despicable gaze, she could not help but be enraged.

Rayne Haines… that adorable mortal was so loyal to Justice. In the end, she let him down and caused him to fall into the evil dragon's claws.

No…

The Blood Empress made up her mind that she had to save Rayne! She wanted Rayne to return to her embrace!

I'm the only true god of Rayne.

I'm the only one worthy of Rayne's faith.

The Blood Empress had no doubts about that.

As the God of Strife, the way Justice intended to retrieve her follower was naturally to pummel Olivia and force her to swear that she would never harbor designs on Rayne ever again.

Or, the Blood Empress could seal or kill Olivia directly so that she could no longer harass her and Rayne ever again.

In the past few days, the Blood Empress was prepared to wage war against Olivia once more.

However…

Olivia was an existence that was almost evenly matched with Justice. Against such a strong foe, it would take at least a few months or even years to win or lose a battle.

For the evil gods, time was almost meaningless.

However, that was not the case for Rayne.

Once Justice waged war against the evil dragon, she would no longer have the mood to pay attention to the activities of the mortal world.

If that was the case… what would happen if Rayne wanted to seek help from Justice during this period of time to obtain her blessings?

Therefore, before the official start of the battle and the complete destruction of Olivia…

Justice decided to give Rayne a gift first to protect him in the mortal world.

It was a different sort of blessing.

The Blood Empress could no longer allow Rayne to misuse the bewitchment blessing of Olivia.

After all, that would only increase his dependence on Olivia...

Rayne was Justice's follower!

How could he use the blessings of other goddesses?!

The more she valued Rayne, the more the Blood Empress could not tolerate traces of other goddesses in Rayne's body.

Justice had to let Rayne see that the goddess he believed in had better blessings than Olivia.

Ordinary war blessings were not of much use to the current Rayne.

Therefore…

The Blood Empress was prepared to give Rayne a perfect gift that could help him conquer everywhere, one that could become his right-hand assistant.

A loyal, beautiful and powerful… slave.

A fallen protector of the netherworld.

Lynn.

At that moment, the Blood Empress heard prayers from the mortal world.

It was Lynn, calling out to the Blood Empress.

What a coincidence...

The Blood Empress raised her head gently.

It was time for her to fulfill her mission.
