I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 506 - 359: Oracle of Slaughter

'The King of Slaughter is actually paying such close attention to me?!'

Chen Lun held his breath.

The information the Speaker had told him left him somewhat flattered and surprised.

After all, his only connection with the King of Slaughter was the one-time "assassination commission," where the "Mierna Blood Wine" that he had offered to the club was favored by Him, and as a reward, He personally took action to kill the "Bone Carving Monk" Jerome and his Red Rose Squad.

Just by that alone, it would probably not be enough for a Conspiracy Angel to look at him differently.

Chen Lun silently guessed that there must be some hidden secrets he was unaware of.

"Jack, although I am surprised at our king's favor towards you, I have never doubted...so I also believe that there must be some qualities in you that our king likes."

The Speaker's voice was gentle, with a smile on His face.

Then, He lightly raised His hand, and shadows like smoke rose from His palm, slowly revealing a goblet. The cup was filled with wine that was crimson like blood but gave off a strange, dark golden sheen.

"Drink it, go to His kingdom… He wants to see you."

The Speaker's voice was slow and soft, yet it carried an undeniable solemnity.

Chen Lun took a deep breath and accepted the goblet.

In this situation, he had no choice, but he wasn't too worried… after all, if such a high-ranking entity wanted to harm him, there would be no need for subterfuge.

A panel popped up, indicating that this was a cup of Supernatural Wine called "Red Invitation," exceptionally high in quality, to a surprising degree that left Chen Lun astonished... The description also noted at the end that this wine would induce intense spiritual fluctuations and a summoning to an unknown land.

'The Divine Kingdom of the King of Slaughter...'

Thoughts flowed in Chen Lun's mind.

Immediately after, under the gaze of Speaker Azjiluo, he tilted his head back and drank the red wine.

Gulp...

He drained it in one gulp.

Chen Lun instantly felt a mysterious power emerging slowly amidst the complex and rich aroma.

[You have drunk the Mythical Wine "Red Invitation," Willpower +20, Insight +20, spirituality exceptionally sensitive… duration 600 seconds!]

Boom!

A strong wave of drunkenness suddenly hit him!

Chen Lun found his vision blurring and twisting, his attention somewhat wandering.

The next second, he felt as though he was flying, no—he looked back and saw that his body was still seated at the marble round table in the secret council's Great Hall, the whole person leaning back in the high-backed chair with his eyes closed.

It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

By his body's side, the Speaker stood silently with hands behind His back, looking up and sharing a glance with him.

He offered a smile and nodded.

Whoosh—

Chen Lun saw his field of vision suddenly zoom forward, the entire Great Hall coming to the end of his sight before collapsing... He realized that it wasn't the scene being pushed away but that he was being dragged at an extremely fast speed.

Countless images flew past like shooting stars.

Chen Lun looked around curiously and in awe, engraving this moment deeply into his heart, attempting to perceive and ponder...

He didn't know how much time passed.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of suffocation, as if he was at the bottom of a deep ocean abyss, surrounded and crushed by infinite seawater. Chen Lun tried to use "Spirit Breath" to switch his breathing method... but he failed, as none of the Supernatural Creatures' features could be used at this moment.

'The current state of mine, is not of physical form...'

Chen Lun immediately understood.

Consequentially, as if in a daze, he relied on his instincts to "swim" upwards, yearning for air.

Splash!

At last, he broke through the surface, feeling a warm and comfortable breeze blow by.

That suffocating feeling instantly dissipated.

Chen Lun opened his eyes to find himself floating in a lake of blood-red wine, and around the "Lake of Wine," there rose translucent walls, towering straight up.

'No, that's not right... I'm actually inside a goblet!'

He scanned around and immediately thought of something, his face filled with shocked suspicion.

Suddenly.

The seemingly translucent wall, which was actually the outside of a goblet's inner wall, was covered in the shadow of an "enormous man." Chen Lun could only vaguely make out the upper half of the body and hands, as the face was obscured by darkness.

The man appeared to be wearing a red and black tailcoat, with white gloves on his hands.

The familiar chuckling sound came through.

"Jack..."

The King of Slaughter Conrad spoke Chen Lun's name.

"You're quite remarkable."

"Your Majesty, the King of Slaughter."

Chen Lun floated on the surface, unsure how to pay respects, so he respectfully addressed Him instead.

The giant figure stood still.

But then that white-gloved hand lifted the entire "Lake of Wine."

Chen Lun felt that beyond the translucent wall, there was a dazzling brightness appearing, like the horizon of the sea, slowly a Sun was rising.

Within that light, a door irregulary opened, and the scenery inside was filled with countless white linens—it was a decrepit world covered in spiderwebs!

"Do you see it? That is the 'Abyss of Spiders' beyond the rift… It exists only in the gap between spirit and dreams, and it's also where the Bone Old Man once had His Divine Kingdom."

The calm voice of the King of Slaughter echoed above.

Chen Lun stared at that desolate world, feeling a chill wash over him.

If it weren't for the prior drinking of the "Red Invitation" wine, which substantially increased his willpower, just gazing at that world would have rapidly drained his Sanity Value and harmed his spirituality.

"Your Majesty?"

Chen Lun squinted, the intense piercing pain causing tears to flow uncontrollably.

He did not understand why the King of Slaughter presented that strange and terrible world to him.

"You played a key role in this event, allowing me to become one of the Righteous Gods of the Empire."

The King of Slaughter spoke slowly.

"You may not understand what this means now, but I have to acknowledge your favor... The position of Righteous God has freed my hands, severed those mad chains, and finally allowed me to—"

He laughed with pleasure.

"Indulge in a grand murder!"

Boom!!

Outside the translucent high wall, within the world beyond the glowing door, two giant, twisted, slender shadows suddenly appeared over the barren land covered with countless pale spiderwebs.

They were extremely mysterious, their faces indistinct, and behind each was a long, uneven, limb-like shadow that stretched to the sky, as if tearing open the cracks of the world.

In Chen Lun's mind, a terrifying name suddenly surfaced—

Death Twin Stars!

His eyes widened as he realized the implications of the King of Slaughter's words.

'It was with my help that the Murder Club smoothly ascended to a seat in the Righteous God Church, and His Majesty, the King of Slaughter, became the greatest beneficiary... He became a Righteous God.'

Chen Lun stared blankly in a daze.

'Now, having gained unknown benefits from the position of Righteous God, He can go all-out to confront His archenemies of the same conspiratorial path and Angel Rank, the Death Twin Stars.'

The glowing door slowly closed, the light fading.

After a while.

The King of Slaughter chuckled.

"Whether you understand or not, I have informed you, to use the words once left in the world by 'Ring Duke,' destiny is a circle—what begins must also end... Go now, and I hope that when we meet next time, you will have been crowned a saint."

Clink!

The crisp sound of clinking wine glasses.

Chen Lun's vision blurred once more...

When he awoke again.

He found himself back at the headquarters of the Generous Council, in a secluded hall on the second floor.

The Speaker was nowhere to be seen.

In the entire spacious hall, only he remained seated alone in a high-backed chair.

In front of him was that several-meter diameter marble round table, smooth like a mirror reflecting the light.

The surroundings were silent and still.

Chen Lun slowly exhaled a breath of wine, feeling a bit woozy.

He rubbed his temples, sensing that something new had appeared in his mind.

After a few breaths.

A series of titles related to the King of Slaughter abruptly appeared, linked with a Blessing—

[You have received the King of Slaughter Conrad's approval, and He has bestowed upon you the Blessing "Bloodthirsty by Nature"!]

[Bloodthirsty by Nature LV1 (Blessing)]

Blessing description: The King of Slaughter Conrad has cast an expectant gaze upon you, enabling you to lose yourself in slaughter, grow through slaughter, and achieve greatness through slaughter.

Blessing effect: Significantly increases control over one's killing intent, Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Willpower +2! (This effect is influenced by the desire to slaughter; the stronger the killing intent, the stronger the effect, but not exceeding double the enhancement.)

Chen Lun was surprised by this Blessing.

'This is an exceptional Blessing for me!'

He thought to himself, elated in his heart.

Not to mention the total of 8 Attribute Points the Blessing offered, but, more importantly, the ability to control killing intent was very important to him. After all, when he donned the Balag Armor, an uncontrollable surge of killing desire would flood his mind, which was extremely tormenting.

Now with "Bloodthirsty by Nature," he could manage it as he wished.

Furthermore, the overwhelming desire to slaughter brought about by the Balag Armor could also substantially enhance the effects of this Blessing. The two were like a perfect pairing, complementing each other!

'Merchant of Murder, Protector of Assassins, Witness to Contracts... Great King of Slaughter, Your Majesty Conrad... Thank you for your care, your Blessing...'

Chen Lun closed his eyes and bowed his head, quietly praying to the King of Slaughter in his heart.

Then, he opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

'With this, that precious single Blessing Point can finally be put to good use!'

Chen Lun brought up his panel, and spent his Blessing Points on the newly acquired "Bloodthirsty by Nature."

Ding!

[Bloodthirsty by Nature LV2 (Blessing)]

Blessing effect: Significantly increases control over one's killing intent, Strength, Agility, Endurance, and Willpower +4! (This effect is influenced by the desire to slaughter; the stronger the killing intent, the stronger the effect, but not exceeding double the enhancement.)

"Doubled straight away!"

Chen Lun smiled broadly.

He didn't linger in the hall, checking his panel briefly before getting up to leave.

In the Great Hall on the first floor, a "first meeting" that convened the majority of the council members had already started a while back, leaving no one in the hall except the faceless maids.

Chen Lun had no intention of joining the fray and directly chose to return to his vineyard.

Next, he must hasten to the Wonderland Crystal Mountains to acquire the final part of the Sequence Five—Juggler Supernatural Knowledge, then prepare to complete the task assigned by the Speaker!
