Sacred Souls: Genesis - Chapter 426

Chapter 426: Chapter 412: Arrival (2nd Update)

The Devouring God had left countless terrifying legends in star charts in the past.

But these were just legends, completely unable to instill the slightest fear in her squad members. What her team members truly feared was… the death brought about by the Devouring God.

For the Eternals, the Devouring God was like a deadly plague. If an Eternal came into contact with an offspring of the Devouring God, then there was a high probability they would die painfully from a severe illness.

This feeling was similar to human fear of spiders and venomous snakes, as if they were about to be transported to a space filled with spiders and snakes that would definitely consider them as food.

So when Rosh issued the transport request and it was accepted in an instant, she immediately lowered her face armor and entered a state of high battle readiness.

Her other seven teammates also accepted the transport request with a resolve to face death.

In the moment the transporting light flashed, the scenery before Rosh’s eyes changed instantaneously… The scene shifted from the deep purple of the Void Swarm’s mother planet to a warm-toned setting.

From the surrounding environment, it appeared that they were in some… ancient coliseum-like structure.

“Perod and Shu Mi were unable to come over… Their beacons were blocked!” a teammate reported to Rosh upon arrival.

“Blocked? So this wasn’t just any ordinary beacon, was it?”

Rosh had anticipated this situation, guessing that the beacon controlled by Thorne wasn’t just any… two-way transport beacon, but a higher-level one… Only the highest level of the Maker’s Sanctuary could possess such a beacon.

This beacon had the ability to select who to transport, and Perod and Shu Mi were the two tactical experts in Rosh’s team.

What was the reason for Thorne to filter them out? Because they both possessed powerful destructive abilities?

Rosh suddenly thought of these two team members who, before becoming part of the Maker’s Sanctuary, had a history of enjoying bloodshed… not a particularly good trait.

Such a record was immaterial for Hunters combating the calamity, so why would it be a reason for the Devouring God to select personnel?

“Everyone be on your guard!”

Rosh didn’t have time to ponder these thoughts, her hands holding two pistols crafted from Void Swarm materials, wary of any offspring of the Devouring God that might appear around her.

“Captain! Where is the exit…”

When team members wanted to deploy special scouting creations to check the outside situation… they regrettably discovered that the team members responsible for deploying scouting creations… were all absent.

“Breakthrough.”

Rosh issued this reckless command that would make anyone knowledgeable in tactics shake their head. While she didn’t boast about the combat capabilities of the armor crafted from Void Swarm materials, its retreat capabilities were definitely top-notch.

Even so, the teammates still rushed out of the arena with a resolve to face death.

Sunshine… the sunshine they had not seen for almost half a month entered their eyes, but they soon adapted to the sunlight’s glare. However, the second thing that caught their vision severely challenged their sense of aesthetics.

The first thing that caught Rosh’s attention was a gorilla, not an actual gorilla but a human wearing a gorilla mask, followed by a human wearing a giraffe mask.

What plane had they come to? A civilization that still resided in ancient tribal culture? But did such ancient tribal cultures have ludicrous elements like rainbow unicorns, complete with rainbow-spewing effects?

Where were the vicious enemies… Rosh really couldn’t associate these bizarre beings in front of her with the dangerous offspring of the Devouring God!

“So this is the SSR character the president has drawn? Doesn’t seem too impressive,” said Rainbow Unicorn.

“What about your horse, huh? This is one of the few female characters! Do you understand how rare that is?” Giraffe angrily swung his neck, smacking Rainbow Unicorn in the face.

Before the hood-clad duo from the Cola Fanatic Guild could fully express their opinion, Bubble stepped forward as the representative of the Spirits.

“Do you even have greetings? Hello, I am the city of Holy Spirit City…” Bubble couldn’t finish his sentence.

But indeed they were descendants of Devouring God… Rosh had already analyzed the situation in an instant. She was surrounded by the descendants of Devouring God, but this posed no threat to them. According to past mission protocols, they should first kidnap a local to gather information.

After a brief analysis, Rosh quickly identified an excellent target… weak in combat, yet highly valued among the descendants of Devouring God.

“Action!” Rosh swiftly issued the command.

Rosh’s living armor reflected the same luster as the surrounding environment, and the next second, her figure disappeared in front of the newcomer team of Spirits.

Bubble hadn’t even seen where Rosh had gone when her figure instantly appeared behind… Silver General.

Silver General was baffled for a moment, and the next instant, Rosh grabbed the collar of Silver General’s shirt. Silver General, like a snow leopard grabbed by the back of its neck, was directly pulled up to the rooftop of a three-story building owned by the Cola Fanatic Guild.

“Hot Pot Little Prince! Are you okay?” Bubble quickly turned around and asked Silver General.

“I guess… I’m fine?” Just after Silver General spoke, Rosh entered a state of invisibility again. This time, she also endowed Silver General with the ability to be invisible, and then Silver General completely disappeared from the sight of the Cola Fanatic members.

“Did Silver General just get kidnapped by that SSR character?”

“What should we do now?”

The people in front of the star chart hub watched Silver General’s departing figure and fell into a brief contemplation, eventually Bubble came to a heavy conclusion.

“Keep drawing cards!” Bubble said.

……….

Jiang Qiao knew that such incidents would occur on the first day Holy Spirit City was open — NPCs kidnapping players!

While selecting NPCs for visiting Holy Spirit City, Jiang Qiao had tried his best to filter out the more… friendly NPCs, but their friendliness was limited only to when they were dealing with allies.

The Eternals drawn by Thorne’s teleportation beacon had already seen the Spirits as enemies, so in their view, taking a Spirit hostage was perfectly reasonable.

Jiang Qiao didn’t forbid the NPC from kidnapping players as the players viewed it as a unique adventure event.

But Rosh, a character with the characteristics of both an Eternal and a divine being as seen on the teleportation beacon, was a particular concern for Jiang Qiao.

And also of particular interest to Silver General.

Jiang Qiao found the current coordinates of Silver General, located in a cave on Biland Island, far from the players’ hunting areas. When Jiang Qiao connected to this cave, he found Silver General being interrogated by a squad led by the Eternals.

But this interrogation didn’t last long, as Silver General, directly in front of this squad of Eternals, asked a question that, to Jiang Qiao the suspicious planner, sounded quite distressing.

“Are you interested in becoming professional players?” Silver General looked up and asked Rosh, who was pointing a gun at him.
