Chapter 696: Chapter 516: The Missing Part of Life_2

It’s a strange feeling, this special perception of the life state of a target, to Zheng Yichen’s eyes it was the same as a blood bar hanging above the target’s head, sans the numerical values.

He liked this new perceptive ability, whereas the Death type demigod hadn’t provided such feedback. Zheng Yichen had even siphoned most of the blood from the latter, only to find the final feedback couldn’t compare to a crippled Demigod of Life!

The fact proved that the gap between demigods could indeed be vast.

As for Divinity... Zheng Yichen had always been indifferent to it. In normal Divinity creatures, divinity might be an active trait and power, but in his case, it was passive.

Rather than whether his Divinity had strengthened, Zheng Yichen valued more the improvements in his physical foundation and enhancement in Performance Coefficient.

There were some improvements this time as well, but not much. He wasn’t greedy; a small enhancement that was now in his grasp was sufficient. Minor gains would accumulate over time.

The fire dragon’s crying had ceased, and it sought out Zheng Yichen, but was stopped by Lilith who also delivered a warning.

Upon learning that Zheng Yichen was resting, Klakauska settled down decisively in a spot. He didn’t feel the emptiness that often follows revenge, as the memories lost due to the lifting of the curse had long been the void in his heart, filled by rage.

Now that his revenge was complete, having witnessed his enemy being slashed by Zheng Yichen into oblivion, the void of his lost memories had been erased. The newfound sense of fulfillment made him feel somewhat at a loss, prompting a shift in his mentality. He felt he should be doing more.

Existences like Klevait may die one after another, but could the fire dragon perhaps emulate Zheng Yichen?

He may not be able to strike as Zheng Yichen had, but he thought it worth trying to breathe death onto existences akin to Klevait.

Using the secret communication technique of the Dragon Tribe, Klakauska spoke calmly, "Hello? Klevait is dead, tell me what my adopted daughter’s name is!"

"...He’s dead? That fast?" The giant dragon tasked with ’receiving’ Klakauska asked in astonishment, "How did you manage it??"

That was a Demigod of Life, who, although not possessing the ’double life’ of a Death type demigod—becoming an Undead after death—was well known for their robust vitality and strong survival capabilities.

Klevait was amongst those who had lived a very long time within the ranks of demigods, making killing him extraordinarily difficult.

"Ah, just got cleaved with a single blow, what else? You want me to write a report about it? Just answer my question!" Klakauska was growing impatient.

He was eager to learn about the things he had forgotten!

"This... alright, her name is [——]."

"Fuck!" Klakauska’s anger flared, "That dumbass is dead, and I still can’t hear it!!"

"There’s no helping it, you were afflicted with a life curse. To remove the curse, we had to excise the traces that were important to you from your life, and your life trajectory has completely lost that part. Even if we were to place her records before you, you would be looking at what doesn’t exist in your life."

The giant dragon communicating with the fire dragon sounded helpless. Curses vary between people and depend on who bears them. Klakauska hadn’t been strong enough back then; to ensure the fire dragon survived the life curse, they had to remove it in a unique way.

The excised life carried Klakauska’s curse and was also the method least likely to cause complications afterward. Although free of complications, it demanded the price of forgetfulness. The fire dragon hadn’t forgotten everything, perhaps due to the substantial foundation inherent to being a giant dragon. Had he been stronger, he’d have forgotten less or perhaps nothing at all.

However, Klakauska couldn’t meet those conditions at the time, especially since it was a powerful demigod who had cast the curse.

The life part that was excised along with the curse had vanished, meaning Klakauska could no longer retrieve that segment of ’life’.

"While this is unfortunate, congratulations on achieving your revenge."

"Damn it, it wasn’t even by my own hand! I’m feeling so frustrated now!" The fire dragon was even more irate.

The giant dragon maintaining communication could understand Klakauska’s mood, "But he’s dead now, isn’t he? Uh, you’re sure he’s dead, right?"

"Won’t you investigate it?? I’m saying I got my revenge, and it’s as if it doesn’t count when the Dragon Tribe says it’s been avenged!"

"Alright, then you have time to return to Cardanas."

After the communication ended, the giant dragon handling Klakauska’s communication still had a look of disbelief on its face.

"Who on earth is this person, a Demigod of Life who says he’s killed is just killed?" He thought about Klevait’s relatives.

His father was a True God of Life, and his mother was another Demigod of Life, it’s just that what Klevait had done made his stance somewhat skewed, and they didn’t really contact each other.

However, speaking of a demigod’s lifespan, not contacting much is relative; not contacting for a hundred or so years is equivalent to a human not contacting for a year or two, sometimes not even that much. If Klevait had taken a stance of evil chaos, then his relatives, knowing about it, would likely do nothing.

But Klevait was in a neutral stance, and now that he’s been killed, his father, being a True God, might not do anything directly, as True Gods often have many offspring, but his mother might not see it the same way.

The Dragon Tribe also had an intelligence network, and after confirming the location was near the City of Dawn Light, they quickly came up with preliminary investigation results.

To their surprise, it wasn’t just one demigod that died, but two; one of Life type and one of Death type, and the perpetrator seemed to have a touch of OCD, striving to kill in a balanced manner?

As bystanders, upon understanding what had happened there, in addition to the Dragon Tribe’s secret maneuvers, the Dragon Tribe instantly realized that Zheng Yichen had set a not so sophisticated, but very effective trap at that place.

Predators pounce when the bait is irresistible, and as long as it is sufficiently tempting, it will draw the target in.

Moreover, the trap Zheng Yichen had set was more than just crude bait—he had respected the enemy enough to craft a summoning ritual on the spot, using the Holy Relic of Life to successfully summon a divine Heroic Spirit.

Furthermore, the proximity to the City of Dawn Light gave the illusion that one could swiftly return to the safety of the city after success, avoiding the gaze of those who coveted what was taken.

Upon closer inspection, the flaws in the trap could be discerned, but by then, the fish were already in the net, and Zheng Yichen did not allow them the time to ponder these details.

After this battle, Zheng Yichen became thoroughly notorious. Before, only a few knew about demigods dying frequently, but soon enough, once the word spread, the number of people aware would increase rapidly.

The demigods that died near the City of Dawn Light, added to those who died elsewhere... What kind of new age demigod killer is this?

The matter about Zheng Yichen will become a ’hot topic’ for the near future and even for a long time after. He’s swiftly gained a reputation, but with such notoriety, correspondingly, the trouble will multiply.

Just the relatives of those demigods alone will pay more attention to Zheng Yichen, including the True Gods.

Other people might accept the death of a demigod; there are so many in the world, and occasionally losing a few is normal.

But for more than ten demigods to die at the hands of the same person within less than a month, who wouldn’t take that seriously?

If today this person can kill so many demigods in a short time, does it mean that tomorrow he might turn his knife on True Gods?

There are many legends of Godslayers, but how many have actually succeeded in slaying a god? Most are merely stories.

True Gods are not Demon Kings sitting in castles waiting for heroes to level up and grind for gear. Recognizing such a threat, they naturally interfere to eliminate it, so following this, not only will some relatives of demigods possibly cause trouble for Zheng Yichen.

Even some True Gods will pay more attention to Zheng Yichen, arranging for certain entities, or directly sending an avatar to make contact, to test or even directly provoke him, aiming to snuff out such an existence.

In this world, in this era, True Gods have always been active. Ordinary people find it difficult to encounter True Gods; that’s because they can’t access the circle of True Gods.
