It is said that in ancient times.
At the beginning of the Earth's birth, in a state of chaos.
The great creator, originating from natural magical energy, decided to spread its material to every corner of the Earth!
These scattered magical energy substances 'gave birth' to the earliest creatures - the Ancient Gods!
Among the Ancient Gods, four were the most powerful: Gaia, the god of earth and nature, Set, the god of destruction and death, Oshtur, the source of white magic, and Chthon, the source of black magic!
However, one day, the serpent god Set discovered that devouring other Ancient Gods could increase his power, so he began to slaughter and devour them, eventually triggering the 'Fall of the Ancient Gods' war!
During this period, the fallen Ancient Gods transformed into demons, slaughtering and devouring each other in pursuit of greater power.
Gaia, the god of the earth, couldn't bear it, so she launched a war against the serpent god Set, but the strength of the two was not very different.
Therefore, this great war lasted for a very long time, affecting the entire Earth, and even destroying the dinosaurs!
In order to end the fate of the Ancient Gods killing and devouring each other, the great creator and Gaia, the god of the earth, jointly gave birth to a new Ancient God - 'Atum'!
Born with the mission of ending the war of the Ancient Gods, Atum had the power to surpass all Ancient Gods from birth, he constantly destroyed those Ancient Gods who had fallen into demons, and absorbed their life force.
But in the end, Atum fell into an incredibly powerful God Eater because he couldn't bear this power!
The power of the God Eater was so great that even the serpent god Set and the underworld god Chthon could not compete with him, in order to avoid being devoured by Atum, these fallen Ancient Gods had to flee to other dimensions.
But before fleeing, Chthon recorded all his dark magic on indestructible parchment, as an important backup for his return to Earth in the future.
Anyone who reads these parchments and learns the dark magic recorded on them will be bewitched by Chthon, become his most loyal believer, and then engrave a magic circle to open the door between dimensions, so as to welcome his return!
The birth of the first vampire in Marvel is also closely related to the 『Darkhold』.
Later, these parchments recording Chthon's powerful dark magic were revised into a book by King Arthur's sister, Morgan le Fay, which later generations called - 『Darkhold』!
Although it is not clear how the Hand found the Darkhold, the Chthon in front of him is a genuine ancient god!
Chthon was a single universe-level powerhouse tens of millions of years ago, and is of the same level as Oshtur, the source of white magic, even if it is only a projection, its power is obviously not something that the current Rhode can contend with!
It's like you just left the novice village and ran into a full-level BOSS!
This question is obviously beyond the syllabus!
A strange look appeared on Rhode's face, thinking that the system really thought highly of him!
But danger and reward are proportional!
His system rarely releases tasks, and this is the first time he has seen this kind of 'emergency task'.
The tasks released by the system before all had considerable rewards after completion.
For example, the previous task of 'becoming a Soul Reaper' was rewarded with a Shikai Zanpakuto and the spiritual pressure of a sixth seat officer.
What...to do?
Rhode looked solemn and started brainstorming.
His dog system doesn't release a task once in ten thousand years, who knows when the next time will be if he misses this time!
And the task of 'exorcising the underworld god Chthon' definitely has a very generous reward if you think about it with your toes, you must not miss it!
"Fight!"
Rhode gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Fuck it!
Isn't it just a projection?
The timid starve to death, the bold die of gluttony!
If it really doesn't work,
There is still the Supreme Mage to back him up!
The thinking time is over, compared to the time in the real world, only a few seconds have passed.
The projection of the underworld god Chthon is still immersed in the long-awaited return, completely ignoring the people next to him.
This is actually normal.
Do you usually care about the ants under your feet when you walk or rest?
Obviously not!
In Chthon's eyes, just like humans look at ants, they are so small that they don't need to pay attention at all.
He is one of the oldest gods, the source of all black magic in the world, and even the power of hell Mephisto and the Scarlet Witch comes partly from him!
Humans?
Unless Ancient One herself comes, he might be a little nervous, but forget about the others.
But it is precisely because of Chthon's arrogance that Rhode got a first chance!
Aren't you acting cool?
Aren't you showing off?
Don't you miss Earth?
In that case, let you go back and miss it!
If you don't do it, you must go all out when you do it!
The other party is one of the oldest gods on Earth, he will definitely not give him a second chance!
Rhode narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly noticed one thing, the magic circle that summoned Chthon's projection seemed to be a special 'wedge'!
The 'hollow' inside the magic circle is constantly sending power to this projection, and as a 'wedge', it maintains the passage between the two dimensions!
In other words.
The key to expelling Chthon lies in how to destroy the magic circle under his feet, cut off the source of his power, and disconnect the connection between Earth and that dimension!
But all of the above are Rhode's guesses, whether the fact is really as he thought, he still needs a simple verification!
"Let's try it..."
Rhode's eyes sharpened, he summoned Zanpakuto, and the majestic spiritual power was released instantly, like a volcanic eruption!
The other party is the underworld god, Rhode naturally did not dare to hold back, he went all out from the beginning!
Thanks to Nemuri's research results, he can use the power of the Soul Reaper at the same time in the Quincy state, and the two will not interfere with each other because of this.
"Shoot to kill, Shinso!"
After a hurried and short whisper, the blade suddenly stretched, instantly breaking through the sonic barrier, flashing like a fleeting shadow, and shooting towards Chthon!
Ding!
The stretched silver blade was firmly held by two fingers, like two iron pliers, unable to advance even half an inch.
As expected, very strong!
Rhode's face changed slightly, he had used all his strength, but Chthon didn't even move, he just used two fingers to easily clamp Shinso!
"Interesting."
Chthon's projection did not change its expression, glanced at Rhode, "Interesting, I have never seen this kind of power before, can you tell me where it comes from?"
"None of your business!"
Rhode sneered, and the Quincy cross in his left hand transformed into 'The Punisher'.
Since ordinary attacks are ineffective against him, he can only try the Quincy abilities he just got!
Visible spiritual particles are gathering, forming a huge vortex like a storm, and even at a certain moment, this huge spiritual power fluctuation caused subtle distortions in the surrounding space!
Schrift: The Penetration!
Heilig Pfeil!
Boom——
High-density spiritual power was released instantly, emitting a huge roar like thunder.
This attack gathered all the spiritual power!
Condensed into a huge holy arrow, tearing through the sky and rushing towards Chthon in an instant!
In front of the power of the rule system!
Unless you are the main body descending, it is absolutely impossible to block this attack!
