Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

The ring is missing? What on earth does this guy mean?

In the silence, the same doubts arose in everyone's mind.

Because of the angle, the group saw the smooth middle finger a little later than Eco.

The ring that seemed to be made of twisted and translucent blood has disappeared without a trace, leaving only the shocking blue-black marks all over it.

"Nothing. What do you want to show me?"

Although Eco, who was the first to be hit, felt uneasy, he was unwilling to lose his momentum and could not help but continue asking.

Of course, she would never be arrogant. While she was speaking, her body quickly transformed into a ghostly state, with her alert level raised to the maximum.

"That's easy. You can see there's nothing there."

In response to this, Fu Qian let out a low laugh.

"What do you mean-"

The next moment, Eco's doubts came to an abrupt end.

A scarlet whip flashed out of thin air and lashed directly at her as she gazed at him again.

How can it be!

At that moment, the unavoidable confusion hit her reason.

Because Eco was very sure that the whip was still pulled out from that hand, even though there was no ring there.

Of course, despite her doubts, the survival instinct she had developed through countless battles allowed her to avoid the sneak attack as much as possible.

At the same time, the surface of the ghost-like body was flickering, and illusory overlapping faces quickly condensed and gathered into a strange shield.

Even the moment their outlines appeared, the numerous faces, like ripples on water, each let out a sharp roar.

A kind of mental shock that made one's brain boil swept across the surroundings in an instant. For a moment, even the audience who were not facing it directly felt that their minds were being torn apart.

Even those who were affected were like this, but that guy...

what--

The moment the sigh appeared, it was interrupted by a strange scream, which was obviously coming from Eco himself.

And in the field of vision, a shocking scene appeared.

The mysterious demigod who faced the howling did not seem to be affected at all.

Crossing the space at an incredible speed, the other hand that was originally hidden under the robe expanded into a giant claw and hit Echo directly.

What's even more terrifying is that the shield and body, which should have been highly resistant to physical attacks, were as brittle as glass at that moment.

Almost without any hindrance, the giant claw directly tore a shocking wound and sank deeply into Echo's body.

……

It's an interesting method, but do you think that my training in cold and hot tempering was in vain?

A mere boiling of the brain is nothing.

Seeing that the shield was still struggling to wriggle and gather in an attempt to repair itself after being torn apart by himself, Fu Qian made a cold comment.

Perhaps because it was broken and deformed, the shield at this moment was even more weird than before. In addition to the illusory faces, there were also faces of flesh and blood merged inside, giving a sense of the fusion of soul and flesh.

Surrounded by them, the demigod Eko was obviously no exception, his face had even left that ghostly state, and at this moment, his paleness was filled with incomprehension.

Of course, even so, he still hasn't fallen to the level of a demigod.

Not only did he not make a sound after the initial scream, he didn't even engage in a futile struggle at this moment. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the other hand that was strangling her neck.

From her wildly flickering eyes, it seemed that she was still wondering what happened to the ring she was wearing there.

Very good, worthy of being the one chosen by me.

"Mr. Jining, it would be rude to continue like this."

While admiring, Fu Qian gave a reminder without even looking up.

As mentioned before, in many cases, the psychic system is often more useful.

Sudden attack, the victim Eco did not receive much help.

But Lord Jining's powerful mental attack still came soon after.

Unfortunately, as mentioned before, she will never understand what a true man's will is. "...What do you want to do?"

After a brief hesitation, the strongest tear in his will dissipated without warning, and was replaced by the questioning of Lord Jining.

It is obvious that the audience cannot understand why Fu Qian did this and how he did it.

However, Eco's vulnerability under the attack made them hesitant to rescue him.

"Well, do you understand now?"

Unfortunately, Fu Qian ignored her and continued to question his people.

The voice was so casual, as if the current operation was just coming from the guidance of the instructor.

"That whip that destroys the mind has nothing to do with the ring... It comes from your own ability..."

The student finally did not waste his efforts and withdrew his gaze. Eco gritted his teeth and gave an answer.

……

  The ring is just a cover?

The threat of death always inspires people's potential.

The insights inspired by Eco's work obviously also aroused strong reactions among the audience.

And from the flashing eyes, it can be felt that this idea was quickly recognized.

"Very good, any more?"

With a smile on his lips, Fu Qian seemed very satisfied with the answer.

"Your statement is... that's the answer to why you're still wearing this face."

In fact, he didn't need to remind him, as Eco obviously never stopped thinking.

"…This mask can completely conceal the extraordinary aura."

While talking to herself at this moment, she looked at Fu Qian's face with a slightly absent-minded look.

But soon she was forced to lower her gaze again, to focus on the horrific injuries on her body.

  Like a mixture of broken glass and flesh and blood, the body that should have been difficult for even a demigod to leave a trace on was so fragile... hidden!

At a certain moment, an idea that seemed to have been brewing deep in my heart but had been subconsciously ignored emerged in my mind unstoppably.

But the relief of finally having the doubts answered couldn't even cover up the thrill brought by the truth.

"You are not a demigod—"

The next moment, Eco almost growled.

"I keep this face all the time to hide this!"

"very nice."

Fu Qian's comment came at the right time, and a thrilling smile appeared on the face that seemed to be the embodiment of charm.

“The answers you get through your own thinking are always the most impressive.”

"Thank you for your hard work. I will send you out now. I hope your investigation will be fruitful."

"stop--"

Amidst the screams from Jining, the mental whipping from her also stirred her soul again.

The blue-black marks on his body seemed to have given birth to another will, which together hindered the movement of his body.

Even an indestructible golden light burst out from the old man's hands at that moment, tearing the space apart.

But all of this could not stop Fu Qian's hand from violently pulling out things from Echo's body.

Under the severe blow to the internal organs, the body, which was not very strong to begin with, along with the will that anchored it, completely collapsed.

Is there anything that can better stimulate potential and allow Lady Eco to unleash her value as a resource contributor than the threat of death?

This made everyone realize that the demigod they were facing was still just a disguise, and essentially possessed a higher rank than that.

As mentioned before, the only purpose of Mingpai coming to this place is to make an invitation.

Fu Qian turned his head and fixed his eyes on the remaining guests. (End of this chapter)
