Chapter 122: The Ring Of The World
This expanse seemed alive, undulating with movement.
Then, as if breaking through some boundary, the black expanse exploded and expanded. Evil Enzo emerged once again, with even more powerful black wings on his back, intricate black patterns adorning his body, and an unmistakably sinister aura.
"So, this is a conspiracy!"
"Isn\'t it, Enzo?"
Evil Enzo questioned knowingly.
Enzo raised his head and calmly replied, "I thought you would continue hiding, but I didn\'t expect you to come out so eagerly. And also, who exactly are you?"
Evil Enzo chuckled.
His laughter was twisted, containing complex emotions, and sounded almost inexplicably like murmurs.
He looked at Enzo, beguilingly saying, "Enzo, I am you, and you are me, that\'s undeniable. Of course, I prefer others to call me — Beast Deity Rexfit!"
Beast Deity!
This title caused Enzo\'s pupils to slightly contract, and even Trelina looked tense, realizing the severity of the situation.
Beast Deity was not a simple code name.
It was the title of a deity.
While many tribespeople in various places distrusted so-called deities, they were indeed real—not abstract or conceptual, but concrete individuals.
More precisely, they were people.
When their power was strong enough and they had forged their own path to the supernatural, they could gather divine power and become powerful deities.
Deities were not to be blasphemed!
This was something Trelina had heard from her parents since she was young.
Evil Enzo claiming to be Beast Deity without any backlash likely meant he truly was a deity, or at least had significant ties to that title of Beast Deity.
And Enzo understood all of this even better.
In the jungle outside the tribe\'s camp by the lake, Enzo followed Priest Lucy into a cavern where they opened a stone door deep within. Beyond it, they encountered a surge of beasts and were bestowed with something by a strange woman, acquiring a new Beasts Totem.
In this world, there are no free lunches.
All gifts from fate come with a hidden price tag.
Enzo understood this well, so after receiving the Beasts Totem, he remained vigilant. When Devil Moth unleashed the Realm of Illusions just now, he sensed an abnormality in his mind.There was a will not his own lurking deep in his subconscious. Enzo then cunningly used the Realm of Illusions to fragment his consciousness.
The foreign consciousness indeed fell for the trap.
Rexfit eagerly devoured the other fragments, growing stronger and seizing control of Enzo\'s body.
Of course, this was intentionally allowed by Enzo.
Hovering in mid-air, Rexfit furrowed his brow slightly, disdainful of Enzo\'s calm demeanor, feeling that something was amiss. He erupted impatiently, "Enzo, whatever your plans, it\'s too late now! I will completely replace you, possessing your talents. Enjoy your women!"
With that, Rexfit burst into laughter.
Enzo remained composed but fury burned in his eyes.
He effortlessly summoned hundreds of vines that swiftly closed in on Rexfit, but Rexfit sneered dismissively, declaring, "Annihilation!"
In an instant, the encircling vines were shredded into fragments by some sharp force.
Trelina warned, "If he truly has deity status and controls divine power, don\'t confront him head-on with ordinary supernatural abilities. The rank of divine power is high enough to crush ordinary supernatural forces."
This was also a rule of supernatural power.
Like an egg, no matter how large or numerous, it couldn\'t damage a small iron block.
Whereas, the iron block could easily crush the egg.
Upon hearing Trelina\'s reminder, Enzo nodded, refraining from further using his usual supernatural powers against Rexfit.
However, Rexfit wouldn\'t let go of such an opportunity.
Mockingly, he said, "Enzo, give up. You can\'t possibly defeat me now! Remember, I am you, and you are me. We are consciousnesses within the same body. Don\'t resist recklessly anymore."
In response, Enzo raised his head and asked, "Then why haven\'t you struck? Are you unable, or incapable?"
This infuriated Rexfit.
In fact, he was also unclear about his origins, only recalling vague knowledge and a name. More of his memories came from merging with Enzo\'s consciousness.
In other words, Rexfit wasn\'t pure.
As he himself stated, he could now be seen as part of Enzo—an amalgamation of Enzo\'s spiritual strength and the consciousness from outside.
Within this complex interplay, Rexfit took the lead.
However, when it came to matters involving souls, spirits, and consciousness, the situation was exceedingly intricate. Rexfit found himself unable to directly attack Enzo\'s core consciousness.He could only passively endure strikes or hope Enzo\'s core consciousness chose to be consumed by him.
This drove Rexfit somewhat mad.
What unsettled him even more was that Enzo had already realized this.
In this moment, a flicker of understanding crossed Enzo\'s eyes as he looked up at Rexfit and remarked, "Looks like you can\'t lay a hand on me."
Rexfit remained silent, offering no response.
The next moment, however, he transformed into black mist and abruptly dove towards Enzo—not aiming at Enzo himself, but at Trelina behind him.
The dense black mist surged into Trelina\'s body.
In the following instant, black wings sprouted from Trelina\'s back, her golden pupils turning as dark as the abyss.
Simultaneously, she mocked, "Enzo, what now?"
Enzo smiled faintly, amusement flickering across his face. He addressed the possessed Trelina, who was now Rexfit, "Do you remember what I drew on the paper?"
"On the paper?"
Rexfit subconsciously pondered, instantly recalling. In Trelina\'s recent memories, she had seen Enzo sketching a complex ring.
Wait, the ring!
Rexfit sensed trouble. The peculiar ring pattern filled him with danger, but it was too late. The Ring of the World pattern appeared on Trelina\'s hand, emanating a sacred aura.
It was strong and strangely familiar to Rexfit.
Divine power!
How could this be possible?
Rexfit was thrown into confusion for the first time.
He could possess divine power because the foreign consciousness that comprised him inherently wielded it.
But where did Enzo\'s divine power come from?
He was just a Level 4 priest, not considered particularly powerful even in the barren mountain region. How could he manifest divine power?
Despite its faintness, it was undeniably divine power!
Only a deity could control such power!
Rexfit struggled to believe what was happening. Even as Enzo used the Ring of the World to forcibly extract him from Trelina\'s body, Rexfit remained in a daze, unable to resist asking, "How did you do it?"
Enzo expressed gratitude, saying, "It\'s all thanks to your help."
Confused, Rexfit questioned, "Me?"
But Enzo did not elaborate further. The Ring of the World manifested around Rexfit, tightly binding him and gradually constricting. Yet, Rexfit made no sound.
Because he couldn\'t made any sound.
In fact, upon sensing the existence of the foreign consciousness and being further disoriented by Devil Moth\'s Realm of Illusions, Enzo had found himself in the most perilous situation.
Danger often brings opportunities.
Enzo, in his perilous state, saw a chance. The fragmented Tree of Life totem and Beasts Totem, for some reason, began activating their shards.
This presented an opportunity.
That was a chance to repair the shattered totems and the only way for Enzo to confront the danger.
Thus, Enzo devised a plan.
He deliberately split off several consciousnesses to lure Rexfit into revealing himself, while he observed from the shadows and attempted to reform new totems. Only when he sensed Rexfit\'s intention to absorb Trelina\'s lineage did Enzo intervene, pulling Rexfit\'s consciousness back.
What Enzo didn\'t expect was Trelina\'s presence. This alerted Enzo to Rexfit\'s plan—using Trelina against him.
However, Enzo\'s superior skill and foresight enabled him to outmaneuver Rexfit.
After consolidating the new totem, the Ring of the World, Enzo concealed it within Trelina. Rexfit\'s choice to occupy Trelina\'s consciousness turned out to be his own downfall.
The Ring of the World, in addition to the inherent abilities of the Tree of Life and the Beasts Totem, possessed an incredibly potent capability—suppression.
It could suppress powers, senses, and everything else!
Rexfit realized he had been trapped and understood his impending demise. However, under the Ring of the World\'s suppression, he was unable to speak or plead for mercy.
Enzo didn\'t afford him the opportunity.
Soon, under the suppression of the Ring of the World, Rexfit\'s body shattered into wisps of black mist, dissipating continuously. Enzo absorbed the essence left behind.
That caused his consciousness to grow stronger .
Moreover, he gained many hidden insights.
...
Outside.
Ix stared intensely at Enzo, who stood motionless. He glanced at Trelina, who lay unconscious in Enzo\'s embrace, his eyes filled with murderous intent. In his mind, he roared, "Damn you! If anything happens to Princess Trelina, I will ensure your death is extremely painful!"
Of course, these were just Ix\'s thoughts.
He was well aware that despite Enzo\'s seemingly limited strength, he wielded divine power.
Against divine power, his formidable strength was utterly useless.
At that moment, Trelina opened her eyes.
