Chapter 728: The End of the Snake of Rebirth, [Faith Plunder] Begins

Hum-

The brief sound of high-power energy gathering rang out, and a thick, dark-red pulse particle cannon shot forth.

Boom-

The pulse particle cannon slammed into the Snake of Rebirth's massive Snake Ball.

Wherever the beam passed, snakes were instantly vaporized under the extreme high temperature.

Hiss-

The Snake of Rebirth stared in disbelief at the twenty-plus massive mechanical Titans surrounding it.

Its gaze fell upon the largest one, a humanoid machine over a hundred meters tall. On its chest, that familiar emblem filled the deity with shock and horror.

"Mechanist Supremacy? You lot have also sunk to colluding with the Blood Duke?"

Above the sea of blood, the Blood Duke, manifested at a hundred meters tall and wielding a blood-colored scythe, looked at the Snake of Rebirth with a sneer.

Like it was looking at a dead snake.

"Loser, are you ready to meet your downfall?"

Before the Snake of Rebirth could respond, a blood pool materialized behind the Blood Duke.

He swung the blood-colored scythe, unleashing a slashing strike toward the Snake of Rebirth. Dense blades of blood flew from the edge, forming a tornado that tore toward its target.

"Since you stole my Bloodline River, then you can atone with your life!"

Hiss-

Ten thousand snakes cried out in unison.

On the surface of the Snake of Rebirth's Snake Ball, those specially modified and strengthened snakes burst apart one after another, their serpent souls intertwining to form a barrier of ten thousand snakes.

Shielding the Snake of Rebirth firmly within.

"Despicable and shameless! Even at a time like this, you still try to slander me!"

"You think these tin cans can take me down? Wishful thinking..."

A cold, sinister light flickered in the Snake of Rebirth's eyes.

The heavens and earth changed color as a colossal serpent shadow dominated the sky.

Looking down at the Blood Duke from above, its single pupil blazed like a dying sun, radiating a gray glow.

Filled with an aura of desolation and decay.

The gray glow enveloped the entire world.

The mechanical Titans that had been attacking the Snake of Rebirth began to move in stuttering, jerky motions. Even Apostle 23, which possessed strength bordering on above Gold.

Its movements also began to distort.

Meanwhile, the Blood Duke felt a sharp pain shoot through his brain.

His consciousness grew hazy and sluggish.

But in an instant, Blood Energy flooded his entire body, and his eyes turned bloodshot red.

Feeling the discomfort that had just assailed his mind, the murderous intent in his gaze grew even more intense.

"So my lost memories really do have something to do with you. You don't deserve to live."

The next moment, the sea of blood world trembled violently.

Apostle 23 also completed its permission unlocking alongside the other 22 mechanical Titans.

Powerful energy fluctuations radiated from their frames...

"Oclain, I will find you. I will kill you. I swear it!"

Yu Yuan watched the battered Snake of Rebirth crawl into a pitch-black cave. After a long, twisted journey through space, it emerged into this Civilization Ladder world.

Yu Yuan withdrew from the memory.

"So the Snake of Rebirth was actually being hunted down and on the verge of death when it accidentally escaped into the Civilization Ladder. No wonder it's so sensitive to the word 'loser.'"

The hidden memory Yu Yuan had obtained when purging Mona was exactly this segment.

Recalling the terrifying black treant he had just witnessed in the Snake of Rebirth's memory, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

What level of lifeform was that? The Snake of Rebirth, which was above Gold, could only flee for its life against that thing.

It had even left a deep imprint of fear in its mind, becoming the nightmare of its entire existence.

Yu Yuan withdrew his thoughts. After Yu Yuan had cleansed the pollution from her, Mona had fully recovered.

"How is it?"

The ceremonial robe draped over her fair skin.

"Fully recovered. I can continue!"

As the Dark Sanctum descended once more, Mona began her exploration of the Snake of Rebirth's mindscape again.

This time, Mona learned from her previous mistake. After entering the mindscape, she didn't casually look around.

Instead, she started from the very bottom of that serpent-shaped pyramid, exploring bit by bit, examining the images on the scales.

Prayers of believers, the construction of the world, the secrets of core followers, and the schemes and undercurrents of those above Gold.

All of it was absorbed and consumed by Mona. The Snake of Rebirth's understanding of energy operation and the rules of civilization, in particular, gave Mona a sense of sudden enlightenment.

The knowledge regarding mysteries and faith from the trait [Dark Sage], which she had gained during her previous evolution.

Was once again understood and absorbed by her.

Her strength was also unknowingly rising, and her spiritual connection with the Snake of Rebirth deepened progressively.

The Snake of Rebirth was no longer a mystery in her eyes, but a powerful lifeform that could be understood.

During this process, Mona's Psychic Ability and spirit were becoming increasingly attuned to the Snake of Rebirth.

Time slowly passed.

[Snake of Rebirth Faith Authority +2.1%... Faith Authority +1.5%... Faith Transfer +1.9%...]

The numbers jumping on the Virtual Light Screen were no longer enough to excite Yu Yuan.

He calmly awaited Mona's return.

Suddenly, the Snake of Rebirth's Faith Channel trembled violently, drawing Yu Yuan's attention.

The next moment, Mona's consciousness had already returned. She looked at Yu Yuan with blazing eyes, her expression excited:

"Leader, the Snake of Rebirth's mindscape is shaking. I saw that pyramid beginning to collapse and crumble."

Yu Yuan immediately understood that this must be a sign of the Snake of Rebirth's imminent fall.

The opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived!

"Then... let's begin!"

Yu Yuan's voice carried a hint of barely restrained eagerness.

On the Virtual Light Screen, the Snake of Rebirth's Faith Transfer showed 92.5%, Faith Authority 71.3%, and Snake of Rebirth disguise authenticity 83.8%.

Mona yielded the main position of the ritual, pouring all her Psychic Ability into closely linking Yu Yuan's Faith Channel with the Snake of Rebirth's.

The [Faith Plunder] targeting the Snake of Rebirth officially began.

As Faith Authority increased, the Faith Channel had completely transformed in Yu Yuan's eyes.

Points of light representing believers emerged in his mind, scattered like stars across the heavens.

At the center of these points of light was a 'Blazing Sun.'

That was the Snake of Rebirth.

It continuously radiated its spiritual imprint to its believers, establishing connections with them while slowly altering their consciousness, bodies, and energy attributes.

Thus making them more compatible with itself.

This was the Snake of Rebirth's faith ecosystem.

Yu Yuan was like a faith ghost, appearing in this faith ecosystem for the first time in a truly tangible way.

He could sense that, if he so wished, he could transfer these believers' faith connections from the Snake of Rebirth to himself at any moment, excising the Snake of Rebirth from the faith network entirely and completing a true [Faith Plunder].

But Yu Yuan didn't act immediately. He was still waiting.

Sure enough, the massive 'Blazing Sun' representing the Snake of Rebirth's will began to tremble and shake violently.

So violently that the entire faith ecosystem began to quake.

Then, a grievous cry spread from the giant 'Blazing Sun' throughout the entire faith ecosystem.

--[Ahh-- Blood Duke, you despicable, shameless bastard! I will never let you succeed...]

The Snake of Rebirth's mad, twisted thoughts spread to all its believers through the faith links.

It was at that moment that Yu Yuan moved.

--Right now!
