Chapter 17: The Evil God Marks

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After reviewing the entire contracting process, Bernal felt like he was still in a dream.

Things were going too smoothly to the point that it was suspicious.

Looking at the obedient Alia, Bernal was thrilled.

He could not believe that he had subdued an evil god and even made her his maid.

The only pity was that he did not understand all of her abilities.

He still needed to figure out what Rogeria’s Godhood, authority, and abilities were by himself in the future.

“Who knew that the ritual that killed me in the previous world would save my life in this world.”

Bernal lamented. As he had lost the ability to feel sadness, he was not upset.

It was just that when he thought about how his life in the previous world had only just begun, it was already over. It made him feel somewhat regretful.

If he had known this earlier, he would have been more daring in the beginning.

Closing his eyes, Bernal fell into cogitation, his mind sinking into his sea consciousness.

At this moment, there were two marks in this space.

Bernal could not see one of the marks clearly, but he could sense the power contained in it.

The pattern of the other mark was much clearer. It was Rogeria’s pattern.

The two marks represented the two evil gods that Bernal had contracts with.

One was an unidentified god, and the details of the contract and the functions were unknown.

One thing for sure was that when Bernal fell into an illusion or a dream, this contract could free him from it.

As for the other evil god, it was Rogeria who contracted with him not long ago. With the help of the first contract, Bernal successfully used her own power to restrain her in the dream. While along the process, he modified the details of their contract.

Through this revised contract, Bernal could use Rogeria’s power without any side effects.

Gulp gulp!

As he was thinking, something under the black mud on the ground sounded.

Bernal returned to his senses and focused on the ground.

“Is it done?”

As soon as he finished speaking, knights in black armor stood up from the black mud.

The black color quickly faded from these people’s bodies, returning them to their original looks.

At least, from the outside, these knights looked no different from before.

Bernal nodded in satisfaction.

“Not bad. It seems like my skills are decent enough. Now, Father and the rest shouldn’t suspect a thing.”

The reborn knights retained their memories before the transformation. However, their consciousness and emotions were all modified by Bernal.

Apart from the fact that their daily disguise seemed normal, their inner self became controlled by Bernal.

As long as Bernard gave the order, these people would not hesitate to kill the people closest to them.

Regardless of whether this person was themselves, their children, or their lovers and parents, as long as Bernal gave the word, they would abandon these people.

They could either be their former selves or tools that belonged to Bernal exclusively.

It all depended on how Bernal wanted to use them.

“In the past, I could only spend my days in fear, always afraid that I would get attacked by the monsters here.”

The dark swamp began to spread, and all the creatures that it contacted began to become deformed.

“But it’s different now. With this power, I can turn this monster forest into my pet park.”

Gulp gulp!

A horse wearing black armor stood up from the black mud. It walked in front of Bernal and slowly squatted down.

Victor, the original owner of this warhorse, was beside the horse, leading the horse for Bernal.

Bernal slowly got on the horse as if he was a king of a country patrolling his territory.

What he needed to do now was simple. He wanted to reform the entire forest.

The attack was clearly premeditated.

The masterminds behind all of this might have died as sacrificial offerings to Rogeria.

It was also possible that they were still alive in this world, while those heretics were merely pawns of a higher power.

It meant that the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light.

Either way, this forest that threatened the country, the city, and the daily life of Bernal had to be redeveloped.

He wanted to use this place as a protected zone against external enemies and maintain his daily safety.

I never imagined that I would ever come here.

Bernal recalled how he had been confined to the huge mansion since he was born.

It was dangerous outside. There were enemies everywhere. If he wanted to get out, he had to become stronger.

This thought had always been instilled by his parents ever since he came to this world.

It was a pity that he did not have the talent to become stronger in the past.

But it was different now. Talent was no longer relevant because he already possessed the power that no one could stop.

“Am I invincible?”

Bernal felt the power flowing through his body, and he looked at the forest that was constantly twisting and changing its appearance as he willed.

He felt great now.

“No, in the Legendary realm, anyone can do the same thing as what Young Master is doing.”

Just as Bernal was getting overconfident as he felt that no one in the world could stop him, Victor, who was holding his horse for him, suddenly spoke.

Although Bernal had modified his consciousness and body, Victor’s memories and experiences were not affected.

“Legendary?”

Bernal was first startled before he looked at Victor and asked, “Uncle Victor, can you tell me something about the cultivation levels?”

As Bernal’s talent was not ideal, his father, Moss, believed that his son had no chance with cultivation.

Therefore, Bernal had not known about the various levels and realms of cultivators.

Under Bernal’s quizzical gaze, Victor told him everything he knew.

“Before the Legendary realm, there were a total of one to nine levels. The difference between the first five levels is not obvious, but the improvements in every level after the sixth level are significant.”

“What about the legendary stage?”

“When you breakthrough to the ninth level, your life level will usher in a major advancement. At that time, it will be equivalent to entering the Legendary realm. And after entering the Legendary realm, you can no longer be considered a human. Your lifespan would no longer become limited by human limitations. Thus the legendary realm is also known as demigods..”
