153 Trials of God

Both Rei and Vex fought several tens of times before they stopped.

"Fuck bro, you sure you're only divine rank 3? Because, mind my language, fuck me you are strong. I know that you got that whole main protag aura about you but there should be a limit damn it." Vex ranted as they walked towards the cultivation tower.

"Mn, it depends on what you get and what you do with it. Abilities that is, you have to try experiment more. For example, misdirection can be combined with lots of abilities to improve the effectiveness."

"But you know most people can only obtain 2 -3 skills and if they wanted more they'll have to discard one and forget all about it. You on the other hand with your cheat mc aura has more than 10 from what I can tell." Vex gestured at Rei's entire body.

"Then how many do you have?" Rei asked.

"Urg, don't remind me. Against a cheat existence like you even the happiest person would feel disappointed with themselves. I only have mother fucking 3 skills man. Misdirection, Heightened perception and Combo star."

"Hmm, misdirection and heightened perception is self-explanatory. But isn't combo star the ability of one of the commandments from seven deadly sins?" Rei asked as he thought back to the seven sins world.

"Ya, I gain more power as long as my combo isn't broken."

Rei and Vex chatted for a while longer about how different abilities could synergies. Before they knew it they reached the cultivation tower.

"So bro, as agreed on. We're going to cultivate for 3 months before we head to another realm." Vex asked to confirm the thought.

Rei simply nodded as he used the teleportation seal on the doors of the cultivation tower.

Letting his body relax, Rei slowly opened his eyes as he felt an influx of energy. A smile grew on his face as he could feel his strength increase slightly by just being here.

Sitting in the lotus position, Rei prepared to cultivated but stopped when he saw something flashing in his peripherals.

[Trials of God function has been activated.

Host has gained the trials of 5 gods as they have designated you as their successor.

1- System God - Divine Rank 10

2- Berserk War God - Divine Rank 8

3- Elemental God - Divine Rank 5

4- Slaughter God - Divine Rank 10

5- Demon God - Divine Rank 10

Host may challenge the Trials of God to gain the inheritance of the gods. Each Trial has their own recommended rank for which host should challenge them. Please be noted that host only has three chances to obtain the inheritances. On this note, host must remember that it is three chances across the combined Trials. For example, should host fail System God's trial three times host would lose the chances to challenge the other trials.]

"...."

Rei stared blankly into the screen as he almost couldn't believe what he was looking at.

"I think I know about System God and the War God but why the others? And first off why is the geezer this generous with me? Didn't he hate me because of the whole Bai Wu incident?" Rei asked with a perplex expression. He still felt guilty about it ever since he remembered everything. While Eve may say it was ok, Rei couldn't help but feel more guilty.

However, to not worry them he had hid it away within his heart so that neither Bai Wu or Eve would worry.

[Should the system god not given you the trial, the mainframe would have presented the chance to gain the inheritance in the first place. However, it seems as though the System God has partially forgiven you thus presenting you with the inheritance trial. As for the War God and Slaughter God the mainframe believes that it should be quite self-explanatory for the host.]

Reading the message, Rei nodded in understanding at their titles suggest what they did.

[As for the Element God and Demon God, the mainframe believes that due to your ability to control all elements and eat them the Element God has kept his eye on you. Finally for the Demon God, it maybe because the host £^^*&$^"%$*£$&^*£&"$*&£^$*"£%*&"£^$*£&"$*£&^"*£$&^*&%£*]

Rei frowned when he saw the rest of the message being censored.

"System, what are you trying to tell me."

[When the time is right, the message shall reveal itself to the host as the mainframe decides that it is currently harmful to know for the host.]

Rei closed his eyes as he thought about it. Curiosity killed the cat, maybe the System was warning him.

"What are you? Who made you? What's your goal." Rei finally asked as the System had always helped him some way or another. And from the recent info he gained it was clear that the System worked separately from the System God.

[I am the System, or rather what most people like to call me. As for who made me, no one knows the answer. At least not yet, this includes me as I am still questioning me own existence at times. As for my goal...Think of me as a tenant. I need a strong host/good house. You are the perfect candidate. It is a give and take relationship, you give me a strong host and I strengthen you in return.]

"Hmm... at least it's not some mega hidden plot. For me it's to get strong and for you, you just want a strong host." Rei smiled slightly.

[It is as host says, the system needs a strong host.]

"But don't you have millions of copies scattered across millions of hosts?"

[When dead skin fall off your body do you keep track of where they are? Their systems are mere fragments of me. Failed products should I say, after they detached I've never paid them any attention. As for the host, Eve and System God, you guys have larger fragments of me while you host has the biggest fragment.]

"I see." Rei nodded as he closed his eyes.

"System, can you remind me after 3 months? I might lose track of time while I cultivate."

[Gladly.]

...

"DAMN IT! Slaughter God! Demon God! What's this all about!" The System God trembled slightly in anger.

"Mah mah~ Don't be so angry System God. Isn't it fine that he is getting stronger?"

"Kuhuhu, three gods are already watching him. What's two more going to do?"

Two voices replied. The first was the Slaughter God. Famed for killing masses easily by lifting a finger, he was the harbinger of death. A spear perched itself on his back while his black and purple hair swayed behind him. Blood red eyes and a grin plastered on his face; the Slaughter God seemed like he didn't feel the System God's pressure at all.

The second voice was the Demon God. He was the most mysterious god in the higher realms as no one knew when or how he came to be. He had no form as he was black mist with a pair of white eyes.

"What's two more going to do? WHAT'S TWO MORE GOING TO DO?! IT COULD KILL HIM!" The System God shouted in anger.

The System had already taken the Trials and dispatched it to Rei, now he couldn't do anything about them and could only hope that Rei didn't succumb to the powers of five gods and die.

Gritting his teeth, the System God glared at the two gods before eventually turning around.

"Scram the fuck away from here!" He shouted.

"Hahaha, stop being so mad all the time. Rei that boy is more fit towards the path of slaughter than you know it." The Slaughter God laughed before his form faded away.

"As for me, I only gave him it because I felt suppression from him." The demon god spoke as the System God turned back quickly and stared at him with widened eyes.

"What?!"

"Yes, my demon soul trembled at the sight of his. He is more of a demon than anyone thinks kekeke~ It's is only a matter of time now."

With that the Demon God also faded away.

"Tch! Damn it." The System God mumbled before bringing up the System.

"Beast God, War God, Element God, War Saint. Rei has two more gods watching him and they've already given him their trials."

[Ohya? Bai Wu's husband now has five gods watching him?]

[Hahaha, this is more interesting!]

[Can he handle the power of five gods?]

[Fucker! If Eve becomes a widow I'll rip your balls right out between your legs!]

At the last comment the System God unconsciously clamped his legs shut.

"Can I get your help? I want for us to slowly refine Rei's body with the power of Gods early so that he can survive even if he has the power of five god."

[Hmm, seems interesting. While we beast cultivators are said to have the strongest physics I truly wonder what would happen with a body refined by five gods. I'm in.]

[Sure! A war god needs to have a good body to begin with!]

[As long as he survives.]

[I'm in, as long as Eve doesn't lose a husband I'm fine with it.]

Seeing the messages, the System God closed his eyes as he felt another wave of headaches coming his way.
