Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 177.2: His Highness Rayne's Star God Best Friend (2)

Rayne: "..."

Rayne was expressionless. He bent down and pulled up the gel corpse in the cabinet silently.

"Let's go, off to the next stop."

...

As the saying goes, prepare for a rainy day.

Rayne had yet to arrive at Heavenly Kingdom Dawn and did not obtain that powerful space weapon.

However, some preparations still had to be made in advance.

Just as he was about to teleport, Rayne revealed a coordinate that Hela did not expect.New chaptᴇrs are published on N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

Hela was a little surprised. "Your Highness, are you headed to the outer world?"

Rayne nodded. "Yes."

Hela could see the seriousness in Rayne's eyes and sighed. "You have to be careful then. You should know that place… it's really very dangerous."

Rayne nodded solemnly again.

Therefore, Hela took out a crystal sword helplessly. Through this divine weapon forged by a Disciplinary Angel, Hela tore out a dimensional rift that was different from before.

As the rift opened, a blinding scarlet color was reflected in their eyes.

Thereafter, Hela grabbed Rayne's hand tightly and led him into the scarlet dimensional rift.

According to the coordinates given by Rayne, Hela and Rayne appeared at the peak of a towering mountain.

There were overly dazzling stars above their heads and thick dark clouds beneath their feet. A dead silence filled the surroundings and there was nothing but cold wind.

Hela heaved a sigh of relief.

This was a certain mountain peak in the outer world. Due to the advantage of altitude, this place should be considered safe.

In that case…

Why did Rayne travel thousands of miles to this mountain peak in the outer world?

The answer was revealed very quickly.

As Hela turned around, she saw an ancient bronze altar in the middle of the mountain peak.

The altar was massive. In the middle of the altar was a huge pit filled with dense skulls.

How many skulls were there?

10,000?

100,000?

1,000,000?!

Hela did not know because she could not detect how deep the pit in the middle of the altar was.

One could imagine that when the altar was first activated, it was filled with an entire pool of heads. Blood flowed like rivers and the scene must have been terrifying. Just the thought of it made one's hair stand on end.

At the edge of the bronze altar were 17 bronze thrones.

On the thrones, bronze chains bound alien lifeforms of various shapes. They were forcefully pressed onto the thrones before they were controlled, killed and turned into sacrificial offerings for the altar.

Among the 17 thrones, only one was empty.

Unlike Hela who had a conflicted expression…

At this moment, Rayne was extremely calm.

He knew the origin of the altar.

This was an incomplete sacrifice ritual that could be traced back to the previous era.

The altar was built, the sacrifices were made and the offerings were presented. However, there was an empty priest's seat.

All that was missing was this one and only vacancy…

Rayne walked to the last empty bronze throne. Sensing that the priest who had been absent for 10,000 years was finally in place, the bronze thrones that had been silent for 10,000 years lit up with a faint fluorescent light under the thick bronze rust.

Rayne placed the dead slime on the throne and bound it with chains.

The 17th witness was in position.

Finally…

Finally…!

The ancient ritual that could not be completed even after exhausting resources and time until the end of the apocalypse was finally activated slowly after all the conditions were fulfilled.

The bronze altar was lit up from the outside to the inside.

The 17 bronze thrones shone brightly. Thereafter, a dark blue pillar of light shot into the horizon from the center of the altar!

Boundless energy was expelled from the ground and turned into the dazzling pillar of light that charged into the sky endlessly, entering the outer world.

The end of the pillar of light was connected to a humanoid existence that transcended all living beings and was boundlessly mighty...

This was the ultimate salvation that the ancient civilization that had long died yearned for.

A gospel from the cosmos.

Time ticked by the seconds and minutes.

Finally…

Above the cosmos, a certain great existence cast an interested glance.

Thereafter, the promised gospel had arrived.

The dead civilization would never know that the ritual to summon the great existence required 17 extraterrestrial witnesses of different races. However, in their era, there were only 16 extraterrestrial races on the entire planet.

The 17th person was far away and did not appear even after the world was destroyed.

However, in this era, the 17th person had finally arrived.

Everything was so ridiculous and comical.

It was as though… all the efforts of the entire civilization were for the sake of a certain someone born in the next era.

The dark blue light that soared into the sky was slowly extinguished.

Instead, a blazing white light descended from a star in the cosmos and turned into a speeding meteor that arrived instantly, entering the body of the ritual executor.

That was Rayne.

The blessing from the cosmos fused into Rayne's body and a small white imprint appeared on his wrist.

Hela examined the imprint on Rayne's hand. "What's this?"

Rayne smiled. "The phone number of my best friend."

At this point, the preparations for visiting the Heavenly Kingdom were all prepared.

The props to repair Histia were already in hand and the summoned beasts that were compatible with the space weapon were in place as well. In the following period of time, Rayne, who had nothing to do, spent another two days in the capital with Hela.

Two days later, Rayne bid farewell to his lover. There was no other way. Now that Hela was busy with work, according to the rules, she could not stay in the capital for too long.

After Rayne took pity on her and fed her, Hela brought the puppets back to work in satisfaction.

As for Rayne, he was prepared to make a move to the Heavenly Kingdom and meet with Alice...
