Chapter 172: So soon?

While a few saw Lucien's actions as blasphemy, many were excited and waited to see the outcome between the Raizen god beast avatar and the brightest star of the beast-man race! Beast men are no fools and the older they get the more they learn about the origins of their power and what many may consider their true purpose. According to their ancient scriptures, they are born to play the role of a host to their gods, allowing these gods to roam the earth once again and create what many assume is a better future for their race!

While there are fanatics amongst the group that solely believe in this purpose and hope to achieve it one day, many didn't buy it. They refused to accept a cruel fate where they end up losing their lives and letting the already immortal beings descend to the world through their bodies while pushing out their souls, just to live a second life through their bodies.

When people looked into the past records of those who have created a strong link with the god beasts, they soon realized that these so-called gods were not too different from mere mortals with mortal desires!

Absolutely nothing special! This explains why Emperor Fei is rarely seen using the shift to call upon the phoenix god beast for strength.

Aarrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!

Lucien screamed at the top of his voice as bolts of black lightning surged out of his body violently! This time he wasn't holding back, increasing the intensity of his soul attacks, forcing the Raizen god beast avatar to retreat with an amused look on his face. Even though it could be considered more powerful than Lucien, the Raizen god beast avatar is a being completely made of spirit power, meaning that Lucien can harm it effectively with his abilities and that's why it considered Lucien a threat but also the perfect host.

"Why do you struggle little beast-man? Normally, it is an honor for me to pick you as my host because of your outstanding talent and resilient spirit… yet you reject me?" Raizen said with a soothing tone, to help calm Lucien down. He said this with a warm smile that made Lucien feel like punching this immortal being so hard that its fellow gods will

It understood it couldn't forcefully take Lucien's body since Lucien's pathway is one that can deal with spiritual beings like it, yet it still wanted this because it considered Lucien the perfect host with undeniable talent! A kid who will most likely make it to the god realm!

[Doing this means you will lose your link to the Raizen god beast, you will no longer be able to call upon its powers again! By the way, it is you who needs its power and not the other way around! ] Rakzuen warned but only a smile appeared on Lucien's face when he heard this.

'I have you, I don't need anyone else' Lucien gave Rakuzen a simple reply that made the celestial being shiver with emotions.

Saying that Lucien took a few steps closer as he waved his hand in a circular motion and the next thing that followed was even more stunning. A black and white smoke surged out of his body, gathering behind him as it formed the Ying and yang Chinese symbol of balance!

Roar!

A loud roar escaped Lucien's body as the massive figure of the Rakuzen appeared above Lucien before surging into his body to reinforce his skin with blue dragon scales. Only after all of this did Lucien respond to the Raizen god beast's skin.

"Fuck you… Fuck your power, Fuck the dumb old fools who believe that deluded you into thinking that you are important! You ain't shit! Take that from me !" Lucien said coldly as he gathered his power for a fierce battle.

When he died and was thrown into the underworld, the Raizen god beast could tell he was dead but never made any attempt to save him! Only Rakuzen came in when he needed him the most and pulled him out of the underworld. He had concluded that Rakuzen is the only one worthy of his loyalty amongst the godly beings. The rest can go to hell for all he cares!

What Lucien said may be considered one of the main reasons that enraged the Raizen god beast avatar, but the main reason was the azure blue dragon that left Lucien's body! Only at that moment did Raizen notice the magic beast tattoos on Lucien's body and the numerous magic beasts around him! How did a warrior realm youngling enter the underworld and leave unscathed? The god of death was not someone so gracious as to give another person a second chance!

How the hell did a warrior realm kid create a martial technique with such a small cultivation level?

How is his link to the god beasts growing so fast that even Raizen is stunned?

"Beast assimilation!" The Raizen god beast avatar said with furrowed eyebrows and a clenched fist.

All the questions ended with the same answer no matter how much he tried to reject it. Somehow Rakuzen and is training this kid as his successor!

Rakuzen can be considered the nightmare of all gods but what was more confusing is why the god of death made such an important discovery and didn't bother informing the rest!

At this point, the Raizen god beast was warier of Lucien and refused to make the first move. He kept gazing at Lucien and the tattoos on his body, wondering how to go about this. With the beast assimilation, even the Raizen god beast avatar is not safe with him since Lucien can always force the Raizen power to obey him, using the beast assimilation ability, just if he can weaken it just enough.

Both sides kept staring each other down with none making the first move. They were both terrified of each other and reluctant to make a mistake in such a decisive battle, making the tension around them grow. While many thought Raizen was wary of Lucien and they kept hyping themselves, the truth remains that Raizen was only scared of Lucien's backer Rakuzen.

How is he still alive?

How much power has he recovered?

Can he manifest himself outside the body of the host in the physical plane of existence?

Raizen has never felt more enraged with the limitation placed on him by the gods. If only he could bring his main body over, He won't act disgracefully in front of so many mortals. He was about to speak but then his expression froze while giving Lucien a disbelieving look. His body trembled in fear as he gazed at Lucien once more but in reality, he was gazing at Rakuzen within Lucien.

"The God of death, Dakar has fallen… how is that possible? Who the hell can beat the god of death in his domain? His realm! You must know something about this, Rakuzen!" Raizen growled viciously, leaving Lucien stunned.

The first name that came to his mind was Derik Angus and the pair of darkish green hollow eyes that pierced into the underworld, scaring the shit out of them.

"So soon?" Lucien muttered in shock as he remembered that they only warned the god of death a day ago.

He remembered the bold declarations made by the god of death and how he was moved by his speech! Then how did he lose so quickly and easily? Was Derik Angus really that strong or is the god of death just that weak?

Whoosh!

Suddenly a bright blue light escaped Lucien's body, taking the form of a young blue-robed handsome man with sky blue eyes and hair. This man had various magic beast tattoos on his body Rakuzen first gave Lucien a meaningful glance at Lucien before turning his attention to Raizen.

"I warned Dakar of this invader and told him that both the human gods and the god beasts will have to gather if they wish to stand a chance of winning against this man but he didn't listen… He probably went ahead and challenged him alone and this is the outcome… So rather than wasting so much time on this little mortal, I suggest you gather your fellow godly partners and deal with the issue at hand before this being consumes the entire god vein!" Rakuzen said coldly.

Hearing this Raizen couldn't help but shudder in fear! How could an extremely powerful foe exist without their knowledge? Do they really need to gather everyone to beat him?

No!

Razien refused to believe that there is a being that requires both the human god and the god beasts to gather. In his opinion, Raizen was just blowing everything out of proportion to divert their attention but thinking back at it, why would a powerful and prideful being Like Rakuzen reduce himself to petty tricks to survive?

A being that fan defeat the god of death in his domain, should be extremely powerful, so maybe Rakuzen wasn't lying after all.

"At least tell me his name!" Raizen demanded coldly!

Keep calm and write something...
