Chapter 515: Sacrifice
There was no fear in his eyes. Let alone fear, he didn\'t even appear as if he was concerned about the sudden situation he had found himself in.
The Goddess felt strange in front of that gaze. She had met many powerful people, who could dominate one\'s existence itself. However, it was the first time she had felt as if she was being completely seen through by another person.
Although there were no emotions in those eyes, she subconsciously felt as if it was an existence that was looking down on her. She even felt a sense of humiliation rise from within her.
As if it wasn\'t enough, Eren even stopped paying attention to her. His gaze shifted elsewhere, looking into empty air.
"Which one should I sacrifice...?" he mumbled, looking at the status screen that brought back so many memories.
His gaze particularly rested on the bloodline section of the status screen. In the bloodline section, he could see many bloodlines. Some of them were superior bloodlines like Ancient Dragon Bloodline or Devourer Bloodline.
However, there was one bloodline that particularly caught his attention. It was the Paradox. However, the Paradox was something that hadn\'t even awakened properly.
Only twenty-five percent of the paradox was awakened, which made it basically useless for now.
There were other bloodlines as well, which Eren had stolen from others with the help of Devourer. The collection had increased by a lot after his trip to the Southern Continent.
After taking a glance through the secondary bloodlines, he selected two bloodlines.
"For now, these two should be enough..."
One of the bloodlines that were selected was the Sea Serpent Bloodline which was the first bloodline that Eren had robbed using the Devourer during his trip to the ocean of blood.
The other bloodline was a strengthening bloodline devoured in the Southern Continent, which was more or less useless for Eren after his dragon bloodline evolution.
"********* ***** ******* *******"
Once he selected the blood, he whispered something that was barely audible. Even though Eren was right next to the goddess inside her domain, she couldn\'t hear the words spoken by him.
It was as if there was an unknown force within the power that made those who heard them, forget about ever hearing them.
[You have selected to sacrifice Sea Serpentine and Strengthening]
[Please select the Bloodline to apply effects]
The Goddess saw Eren completely ignore her, which made her feel frustrated.
Even though Ren Necroline was a special existence that many people paid attention to, it still wouldn\'t have been someone that could threaten her. So what gave him this confidence to ignore her, especially in her domain?
She couldn\'t possess the Holy Priestess for a long time. Even if the burden was weakened within her domain, a mortal\'s body was still not compatible with her divine soul.
She raised her hand, using her domain to the fullest. The restriction acting on Eren became even stronger, as if a god was directly pushing down on him.
Normally, it was the strength that could destroy the world itself. However, the strength was solely acting on Eren\'s body, trying to push him down.
As soon as the pressure descended on Eren, he uttered a single word.
"Paradox."
[Paradox has been selected to accept the sacrifice]
[Awakening restrictions have been removed for thirty seconds]
[Paradox awakening has reached hundred percent for next thirty seconds]
One after another, multiple notifications appeared in front of Eren. The system screen had turned completely black, with only the blood red words visible on the screen that showed the updates.
The Holy Priestess had thought that Eren was going to fall flat on the ground under her pressure, but to her surprise, he was standing perfectly fine. He didn\'t appear to be under even the slightest of pressure.
Instead, it was her that felt a frightening pressure. It gave her a sense of fear that she never felt before.
She didn\'t know what this feeling was, but it was truly scary. Without a second thought, she cancelled the possession, her consciousness flying back towards the statue.
"Thirty seconds should be enough..." Eren said, waving his hands to make the screen go silent.
"Right?" He gazed towards the statue of the goddess.
On the shoulder of the statue, a young man was sitting carefree. Other than appearing a little older from Eren, he looked no different. It was as if he was Eren from another time.
The only other difference was the clothes that he was wearing. His clothes were stained in blood from top to bottom as if he had descended from a bloody battlefield.
Despite the blood staining his clothes, there was not a single scratch on his body.
"More than enough." The person on the shoulder of the goddess smiled, tapping the head of the statue with his finger lightly.
As soon as his finger touched the unbreakable statue of the goddess, the statue shattered in an instant. The divine mist that was hiding the face of the statue was also gone into the void.
The consciousness of the goddess was returning to the statue which was a medium to return to her real body. However, the statue broke in front of her eyes. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
With no other option, she could only forcefully return to the body of the Holy Priestess who was still to come to her senses properly.
The goddess entered the body of the Holy Priestess. However, as she was about to take control, she felt a hand grab onto her soul.
She was abruptly pulled out of the Holy Priestess\' body like a toy.
