Chapter 7

Oh heavens, what on earth is this child?

In that brief instant, Pan Duola thought of many, many things.

Li An, however, paid no heed to any of that and said directly, "You're Pan Duola, right? Begin the ritual!"

Pan Duola looked at Li An's arrogant attitude, immediately pouted her little lips in displeasure, and said, "You have to call me Mama. Although your strength as a child is very powerful, once you become a God-Slayer, I am your Mama. When speaking to Mama, you must be polite and show respect to Mama, understood?"

Li An looked at Pan Duola, bound her on the spot, walked slowly to her front, lifted her delicate chin with his hand, and asked, "Are you certain you want me to call you Mama?"

Pan Duola was a little afraid, but still gritted her teeth and insisted, "I'm certain!"

Li An revealed an evil smile.

Living a second life, with a system by his side, he ought to live freely—do whatever he wished, even if it meant becoming a heretic, as long as he was happy!

At this moment, Li An had already cast off the moral notions of his previous life.

"Since you want to be a mother, then today I'll let you know what it means for filial piety to go rotten, what it means for a son to rebel against his mother!" Li An said, then pressed Pan Duola to the ground, tore off her clothes, and thrust in hard.

"No!" Pan Duola cried out in alarm, but it was already too late.

Several hours later, Pan Duola looked at Li An with a complicated expression.

Li An, for his part, said without the slightest courtesy, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and start the God-Slayer ritual."

Pan Duola gave a discontented, coquettish hum, stood up, and limpingly summoned the "Ring of Usurpation"!

It was a large disc resembling a shield, with a dragon-head totem carved on its surface, and beside it eight Sword Crests.

Next, was the activation of the "Dark Christmas Festival"!

As the ritual began, Li An immediately felt a vast surge of Cursed Technique power born from within his body, beginning to remodel his physique.

Li An had the "Mind Core" analyze the "Dark Christmas Festival," while he himself immersed in the process of his body being remodeled.

Time passed second by second, and Li An's body was gradually growing stronger.

One after another, the innate abilities of a God-Slayer began to awaken.

First came the abilities "Words of a Thousand" and "Night Vision," then his flesh became extremely resilient—his bones harder than any alloy in the world, his muscle fibers difficult to tear, possessing a capability more powerful than adrenaline, bleeding would stop immediately, and his sense of pain would also grow dull.

He contained within him several hundred times the Cursed Technique power of an ordinary magician; as long as he could strengthen the flow of Cursed Technique power within him, he would be unaffected by external magic, and wide-area magic would automatically be nullified.

He possessed powerful Cursed Technique resistance—whether benevolent or malicious magic would be repelled, unless it was administered mouth-to-mouth directly into the body (or a magical potion), it would not take effect.

When fighting at full strength, his body would naturally adjust to its optimal state!

These were the basic abilities of a God-Slayer; the most important thing was still Authorities.

By slaying Verethraka, the Authority Li An obtained was the "War-God of the East," the same as the original protagonist Kusanagi Godou's—namely, the Ten Incarnations.

By slaying Mephisto, the Authority obtained was "Lord of the Sky"; besides the ability of flight, this Authority also controlled wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the changing of the four seasons.

After the God-Slayer ritual was complete, Li An, taking advantage of the moment before Pan Duola had time to retract the "Ring of Usurpation," directly devoured it.

"What are you doing? You can't swallow that, give it back to me right now!" Seeing this, Pan Duola's face changed instantly.

The "Ring of Usurpation" was tied to the birth of God-Slayers; without this thing, no more God-Slayers could ever be born in the future.

Then the Covenant of the Gods would be broken, and the Goddess of Fate would also encounter problems.

When that time came, the entire world would fall into danger.

Li An, however, spoke to comfort her: "Don't worry, I'm just analyzing it for a moment, I'll return it to you shortly."

"Really? Don't deceive Mama, okay?" Pan Duola looked at Li An with a pleading gaze and said.

"Mm!" Li An nodded.

Seeing this, Pan Duola finally felt a little reassured.

Next, Li An was in no hurry to leave the Netherworld; he sat cross-legged on the spot and began having the "Mind Core" remodel his body.

Although a God-Slayer's body was very strong, in Li An's view, it still wasn't strong enough.

Moreover, his life-tier still belonged to that of a human!

Now that the "Mind Core" had already analyzed two Disobedient Gods—Mephisto and Verethraka—it could completely evolve his own body into a divine body as well.

The reason Rimuru was able to evolve into the Fifth Dragon-kind was precisely because the "Mind Core" had analyzed the Storm Dragon Veldora.

Li An took all the Cursed Technique power he had obtained after becoming a God-Slayer, the divine power gained from devouring two Disobedient Gods, and the Cursed Technique power converted from those cursed spirits he had devoured in the Jujutsu World, and used them all for the evolution of his life-species.

These powers were integrated and unified by the "Mind Core," and then began remodeling and evolving Li An's body.

At this moment, vast energy enveloped Li An, transforming him into an energy egg.

Li An was as if returned to an embryonic state, beginning to be recast.

Time passed second by second, and from within the energy egg came a heartbeat sound like a war drum.

Gradually, the eggshell began to crack.

A perfect physique stepped out from the egg, and those shattered eggshells transformed once more into energy, absorbed by that physique.

"Finally completed the evolution just before the template power vanished." Li An looked at his own hands, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"System, can you generate a status panel for me?"

【Ding, yes I can!】

Very quickly, a virtual realm interface appeared before Li An.

The data on the interface was precisely his current attributes.
