I Am God!

Edge of volcanic forest.

Ackermanmon looked at the dense jungle and the ancient volcano that was invisible but existed in the distance.

What can be seen from this angle is the dark red clouds that look like burning fire at the end of the sky.

The Forbidden Land of Death - Lava Volcano.

When Ackerman passed by Meiya City, he saw many people shouting the name of the god represented by this volcano.

"The Lava God."

"The Seven Gods of Ruhe, the slaves of the Lord of Life left in the world, the guardians of the Garden of Gods."

Ackermanmeng had seen the Earth Titan take action in the King's Court of Ten Thousand Snakes. He wondered if the lava giant was as powerful as the Earth Titan.

But there is no doubt that it is the most powerful god he has ever seen, a power that transcends all.

Only at this time did people suddenly realize that this huge continent was actually just the back garden of the master of life.

The King of Ghouls, Ackermanmon, looked at the lava volcano in the Forbidden Land of Death, and suddenly felt the urge to go in and take a look, to witness the power of the Ruch Titan.

But he quickly resisted this urge, because it meant nothing except dying in vain.

"If gods also have levels, what are the differences between them?"

"What is the difference in power between gods?"

"If I become a real god, can I become even more powerful?"

After gaining the power of "immortality", Ackerman actually began to consider this problem.

I don’t know if it’s drifting away or if I’m just taking precautions.

But he didn't get an answer.

Because when he faced the scarlet goddess, she just blew her breath and completely disappeared.

If you want to know how powerful a god is, you can only become a true god.

Ackerman lowered his gaze and looked into the volcanic forest.

That was the real goal of his trip.

Ackerman silently entered the volcanic jungle. There were more potion plants in the forest, so the number of mutant beasts that emerged along with it also increased.

These mutated beasts not only have strange crystals growing in their brains, but their body shapes have also undergone all kinds of strange changes.

Some grew weird long hair, some had horns on their heads, and some looked as if they were about to grow wings.

A strange change gradually spreads from the volcanic forest, and may spread to the entire world in the future.

This is an era of rapid advancement.

One character after another is vying for the position of the protagonist of the era, and they are all bringing new things and new changes to the world.

There are good ones and there are bad ones.

On the way, Ackerman met a team of lizardmen.

He immediately hid himself.

The original team of lizardmen was divided into two teams, one part planted magic plants, and the other specialized in cleaning up these mutated beasts. The small village also began to have various divisions of labor.

Listening to each other's conversation, the lizard people are also worried about these monsters.

"Not only do we have to kill those monsters, we also have to clean up the magic potions in the jungle." The lizard people were tired of dealing with the increasing number of mutated beasts, especially during Anu's absence.

"The potion has spread, how to clean it up?" More potions are a good thing, but sometimes they are too widespread and make people feel a crisis.

"We have to find a way to solve it. Recently, mutated beasts have rushed out of the jungle and attacked caravans and passers-by." The lizard people talked about the recent incidents of mutated beasts hurting people. This is not a good thing and may provoke the lizard people. Conflict with snake people.

"I heard that there are mercenaries coming to Lime Town to collect magic potions and capture mutated beasts." Bad things are getting worse one after another.

"How is this possible? Those are the offerings of Quetzalcoatl." After hearing this news, the attitude of all the lizardmen immediately changed. It is not good for mutated beasts to hurt people, but it is another matter for outsiders to snatch the offerings of Quetzalcoatl. ; In their opinion, all magic potions and mutated beasts were born under the power of Kurmis, the feathered serpent, and naturally belong to Kurmis.

"It's a pity that Patriarch Anu is not here. He got rid of that damn ghoul and avenged Lek." Someone mentioned Anu.

"That ghoul must be dead this time." When he mentioned Lek, the lizard man immediately showed an angry expression, hoping that Anu could kill the murderer soon and avenge his former companions.

Ackerman stood on the branch of a tree and watched the lizardmen passing by below.

After listening to this, I realized that the lizard man who appeared in the Red Earth Territory was called Anu.

Avoiding these lizardmen, Ackerman came to the opponent's lair.

He saw the magnificent pyramid again.

It looks similar to the mausoleum built by Akmenmon, but one is full of life and the other is lifeless.

There are also more buildings in the lizard people's villages, not just for living, but also including warehouses, libraries, conference halls, grocery stores and other buildings.

They still use Suinhor coins. Although this place is a paradise, they still cannot escape the influence of the snake world.

Ackerman walked around the outside of the lizardman village, and it was very far away.

Observing all the movements here, everything was as he expected.

"The will inside the pyramid is awake, not completely asleep like last time."

"It seems that the Quetzalcoatl Kurmis has something very important to do recently."

Of course Ackermanmon knew what Kurmis was doing.

The other party has sent Anu to the Red Earth Territory to deal with him, and at the same time lent his power to the other party.

"He is waiting for the situation in the Red Earth Territory and wants to eliminate me and all the ghouls."

What he likes most is to catch others off guard, which is why he got here so quickly.

But based on what he heard and observed, this time he gave up the fast way and retreated from the volcanic forest to wait for the opportunity.

Kurmis was waiting, and so was he.

Waiting for the moment when Kurmis takes action against "himself", that time is also the best time for him to take action.

Before Ackerman turned and left, he glanced back at the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid and said with cold eyes.

"You want to kill me, so you have nothing to complain about if I come to your door."

"right?"

The following days.

Ackermanmon has been waiting for the opportunity, and "good news" is constantly coming from the distance.

One after another, the territorial cities of Dranvos, Char, and Red Earth were recovered, and a large number of ghouls and degenerate people of the Silver and White Church were wiped out. The speed of the ghouls and the Silver and White Church's crazy development was like a prairie fire, and the speed of collapse It is also like a river bursting its banks.

Everyone in Lime Town applauded. Recently, the town also held a ceremony to worship the Scarlet Goddess. The priests of the shrine and a few guards in the town also killed the ghouls crawling out of the graves nearby.

The recent popularity of Ghouls, the Silver Church, and the Secret Cult of Corpse Eaters has tended to overshadow the Abyss and become synonymous with evil.

in the room.

Ackermanmon is investigating the past about the Quetzalcoatl Kurmis, just like everyone is investigating his past.

He took out one piece of information recording Kurmis's deeds, as well as letters sent from various places.

If you want to deal with your enemy, you must first understand your enemy.

"Kulmis, the guard of Shana, the lord of Meiya City, lost his body during the disaster of the original sin evil god and became a feathered serpent."

"I once received the favor of the God of Demon Spirits and was a good friend of Apostle Sukob."

"..."

"Since many years ago, he has been looking for a way to become a human again, but in the accident of creating the brown bulb vine, he turned all his assistants into lizard men. He used the brown bulb vine and King Ossis to make Trade, exchanged the entire volcanic forest as a refuge for the lizard people."

"This is a righteous, kind, and very rigid man."

Akmon seemed to have found a way to deal with Kurmis. He sorted out the pages and letters.

I stretched out and prepared to go out for a walk.

He deliberately avoided crowds and took the most secluded roads.

finally.

He sat down at the end of an alley.

The alley is dark and damp, but the sun is shining brightly outside the alley.

Ackerman just sat quietly in a damp and dark corner, looking at the sun outside and the bustling noise coming from the street.

He likes darkness, but yearns for sunshine.

He longed for freedom, but locked himself away.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ackerman heard the sound of someone coming, a drunkard.

Ackerman saw that the other person was swaying as he walked, holding on to the wall to stand still, and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

But he didn't expect that after the drunkard saw him, he walked towards him.

"伱, it's you."

The other party pointed at Ackerman and shouted at a loud voice.

"Mute."

"It's really been a long time no see. Have you come back recently?"

The drunkard came closer and leaned against the wall.

He took another sip of wine, burped and said.

"The last time you were sitting here looking out, you looked lonely!"

The drunkard followed Akmanmeng's line of sight and looked outside, then turned to look at Akmanmeng.

"There's nothing outside, what's there to see?"

The drunkard's eyes were blurred, and he only looked at Ackermanmon's face, completely unaware that Ackermanmon's former tail had turned into legs.

Ackermann's reaction seemed to be a little slow, and then he looked at the other person and asked: "I used to sit here too?"

The drunkard laughed loudly: "Don't you remember?"

"Just last year, no, the year before that?"

"It's been a while anyway."

"I've seen you several times, always here, sitting in this place."

Ackerman just found a place and sat down, but he didn't expect such a thing.

At this moment, I was searching for memories in my mind, and finally recalled them bit by bit.

Ackermann replied: "Oh, I remembered."

The last time he came to Lime Town, he did come here often to sit and sit, and he did meet this drunkard.

He was about to go completely crazy, but every time he sat here, he would calm himself down.

Ackerman frowned and said in his heart.

"what happened?"

"How long ago did this happen? Why do I have to think about it like this to remember it?"

This requires deep recall in order to remember that what happened before did not happen just once.

It was like coming to this small town and looking at everything around me strangely.

The memory in his mind told him that he had indeed been here before and lived here for a long time.

But for some reason, he couldn't find that sense of familiarity.

The drunkard then said: "Strange, you are not mute!"

"You didn't answer anything I asked you before, but this time you spoke."

"But it's the same as before, looking like his whole family died."

"Hahahahaha!"

"But since you are so troubled, why don't you become an alcoholic like me? That would be much unhappy?"

The drunkard handed the bottle over, as if he wanted Ackermann to take a few sips.

Ackerman took it involuntarily, smelled it, and suddenly he was stunned.

He asked himself, "Why am I talking to this drunkard?"

"I'm still taking his bottle? Do I still want to drink?"

"Alcohol only makes people lose their minds. I hate losing my mind and losing control of my body."

Not only did Ackerman not drink, he was even afraid of sleeping.

He suffered from severe insomnia because he was worried that he would be killed while sleeping.

"No, why should I talk to this drunkard?"

"Why would I do this?"

"This doesn't look like me?"

There was an invisible irritability in Ackerman Meng's heart. He always felt like he didn't feel like himself recently.

And sometimes the things in my memory always deviate from my own feelings.

His memory told him that he cared about a girl named Jue Ye, but now Ackerman didn't think that there was anything to care about about Jue Ye.

The memory told him that he was afraid of falling asleep, but recently he had been sleeping very peacefully.

The memory told him that the Dark Moon was his biggest nightmare, but he didn't understand why he was so afraid of the other party before.

Ackerman couldn't tell the difference between memory and reality. He always felt that there was a huge difference between himself in his memory and his current self.

It's like two people.

The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. He could only keep telling himself to convince himself.

"It's normal."

"I have changed from a mortal to an immortal existence."

"Everything that happened in the past no longer matters because I have broken free from all the shackles and gained true freedom."

"I've moved on from my past and I'm not the same person anymore."

Ackerman said this, but the irritability in his heart did not diminish at all.

Sitting in the corner of the alley, he suddenly let out a loud roar.

"What the hell."

"what on earth is it?"

Terrifying power burst out from his body, setting off a wave of air that knocked the drunkard away as well.

"The sky is spinning?"

"No, why did I fly?"

The drunkard fell heavily to the ground. His hazy eyes gradually woke up, and he finally saw Ackerman's appearance clearly.

He was immediately frightened and exclaimed: "You... you are not a human being."

"who are you?"

Ackerman stepped closer and looked at this guy who caused him great uneasiness and destroyed his tranquility and sense of security.

With a wave of his hand, a huge worm shadow appeared from behind and swallowed the opponent in one bite.

Killed the drunkard.

"That's right."

"I am no longer a mortal, nor am I the Ackerman I used to be."

At this time, several ghouls appeared in the corner of the alley and found Ackerman.

These are the ghoul slaves that Ackermann created recently. The few ghouls that the divine servants of the temple cleaned up were just a few unfinished products that were thrown out.

"Owner."

"King Ossis has already reached the outside of Red Earth City, and the coalition forces have launched an attack on Red Earth City."

Ackerman felt agitated in his heart, and his face gradually returned to its former coldness.

"It's time to take action."

He jumped up into the sky and ran towards the volcanic forest.

——

In the Pyramid of the Quetzalcoatl, a shadow sits on top of a golden jar.

The consciousness of Kormis was participating in the war to destroy the Silver Church and the ghouls through Anu, but after arriving at the final battlefield, they found that there was only an old ghoul who fell into madness in the lord's mansion.

"not here?"

"Then where is he?"

Kurmis hovered in the sky, looking through the roof to see the situation in the lord's mansion, while looking at every corner.

Just as Kurmis was making a confused sound, in the volcanic forest where his body was located, a silver-white insect with a length of more than 100 meters came from the other end of the jungle.

The insects tore open large swaths of the jungle, and the towering trees were crushed past, and finally hit the outer barrier of the pyramid.

The barrier shattered instantly, and the insect's head collided with the pyramid.

At the same time, it also collapsed the feathered serpent pyramid.

"Boom."

Half of the tall and majestic pyramid collapsed. At this time, the voice of the feathered serpent Kurmis also came out from inside, letting out an unexpected exclamation.

"Why are you here?"

He was about to get rid of Ackerman with King Ossis, but unexpectedly the real master came under the feathered serpent pyramid and came to him.

After Akmanmon destroyed Kurmis's "pyramid ritual on which to become a god", he started his next move.

In the lizardman village.

A large number of lizardmen rushed out after hearing the noise and looked at their holy land pyramid. They happened to see the scene of the terrifying worms destroying the barrier and the pyramid.

"Worm, where did such a big bug come from?" When the lizard man saw the huge worm falling from the sky, each one was so frightened that their scales opened and white breath came out of their nostrils.

"That's the spirit of the curse seal." Those present were all powerful people, and they still had some discernment.

"It's not a bug, it's a corpse-eating bug. Is that the King of Ghouls, Akmanmon?" Someone immediately saw something. Although its size was terrifyingly large, the lines on it were clearly a corpse-eating bug, and It is self-evident who can control such a large corpse-eating insect.

"Feathered Serpent... His target is Quetzalcoatl." Many people immediately rushed towards the pyramid, wanting to protect their god.

But then, the huge white worm turned around and ran towards the lizardman village.

A large number of bugs emerged from Ackermanmon's body.

Densely packed insects slanted down, flooding the village and rushing into the bodies of these lizardmen.

Directly sealed off the entire lizardman village and controlled all the lizardmen.

Ackerman: "Succeeded."

In Akmanmon's opinion, this pyramid represents more than half of Kurmis's power and is the core of his becoming a god.

He didn't know.

This pyramid is just a shell built by the lizard people later. What really works is the feathered serpent's seed jar.

After Akmanmon destroyed the pyramid, he immediately took control of all the lizardmen. This was because the lizardmen were followers of Kurmis and former assistants. Since they had a practical effect on Kurmis, they also had past feelings. .

It weakened Kurmis's power and grasped the opponent's lifeline and weaknesses.

He felt that he was already 70-80% sure.

A huge corpse-eating insect lay across the lizardman village, with Ackerman standing on top of its head.

"Quermes, Quetzalcoatl, aren't you looking for me?"

"I'm already here."

Quetzalcoatl has not yet become a god, but Ackerman still calls him this, just like he thinks he is the silver god.

From the remaining half of the pyramid, a giant creature that was far larger than a corpse-eating insect coiled up.

The huge spread wings cause changes in the sky, and the sun shines on its mane and scales, refracting layers of light.

The Ghoul King and the giant couatl looked at each other.

If the gods don't appear, they will be the pinnacle of the human world.

At this moment, the two were at war with each other, but no one took action directly.

Because one of them launches a surprise attack and has an important trump card; the other throws a trap, so he naturally hesitates to move forward.

Kormis read out the other party's name: "Ackermanmon, the second generation ghoul king."

"You actually came for me."

Ackerman said matter-of-factly: "Of course, you have what I want."

Kurmis is not stupid, of course he knows what Ackermanmon wants.

But the more this happened, the angrier he felt.

Kurmis knew this, but still asked: "What do you want?"

Ackerman: "The way to become a god."

Kurmis exploded instantly and denounced directly.

"I once saw a guy like you in Eclipse City. You, like Thuro, are born human but are willing to become monsters."

"Being strong, he devours the weak."

"As a king, he doesn't have the bearing and posture of a king at all."

"How can someone like you become a god?"

"What qualifications do you have to become a god?"

Ackerman looked at the sun in the sky and seemed to be saying it was getting late, so stop talking nonsense.

"Although I don't know if you are stalling for time to wait for the gods to arrive, but I know that I don't have much time."

"I don't have time to delay you. You either give it to me now, or I kill all the lizardmen now."

Ackermanmon looked at Kurmis and said expressionlessly.

"Please believe me, I am determined to obtain the Mysterious Technique."

"I will kill all the lizardfolk and I will pursue you and the other lizardfolk forever."

"Because I have to have him."

At this time, the lizardmen who had been drilled into their bodies by the corpse-eating insects began to wail and scream.

"Lord Kormis."

"Don't listen to this evil spirit!"

"Can't give it to him, definitely can't give it to him."

Kurmis said nothing. He was already a little indecisive, but now he was in a dilemma.

Seemingly seeing the hesitation on Kormis's face, Ackermanmon answered Kormis's stern question.

"You're right, I don't deserve to be a god."

"I am not like you, nor am I like your friend Apostle Sukob."

"You are just and great. You created the brown vine and you have great achievements."

"But the despicable me still wants to become a god at any cost."

"In this case, then righteous Kurmis!"

"Please give me the secret of becoming a god. I can become a god earlier, and this world will be less catastrophic."

Kurmis was furious after hearing Ackermanmon's shameless remarks.

The sense of justice in his heart could not accept that such a guy in front of him became a god.

And I once said secretly that I would never pass on "The Road to Wisdom" to anyone else or spread such dangerous things.

But if he didn't give it to the other party, all the lizardmen in front of him would die, which he couldn't accept.

Kurmis was in a dilemma.

"It must not be given to him."

"After giving it to him, there will definitely be greater commotion."

"But what about the kids? They sacrificed so much to make the brown bulbs."

"I can't just abandon them."

"Anyone can abandon them, but I can't."

There seemed to be countless voices overlapping in Kurmis's mind.

At this time, he remembered what King Osis had said to him not long ago.

"The first step is to completely destroy its body and all the corpse-eating insects, so that this Ackerman will die completely, so that the next Ackerman will be born."

"The second step is to resurrect Ackermanmon as soon as possible using his head as a ritual medium..."

"The third step is to seal it..."

Kurmis suddenly looked at Ackerman. The ghoul king in front of him didn't know yet that the scarlet goddess had secretly decided his fate.

Suddenly, Kurmis made up his mind.

"I can give it to you."

"King of Ghouls Ackerman, but how can I be sure that you will keep your promise?"

Ackerman was also stunned for a moment, as if he was confirming whether what the other party said was true.

After confirming that it was true, Ackerman said immediately.

"This is a deal and I will keep my word."

"To you, they are important, but to me, they are just a bunch of lizard people."

The huge feathered serpent coiled up and spit out a ray of light from its mouth.

He spit out a stone slab and gave it to Ackermanmon.

Shaw's "The Road to Wisdom."

Ackerman took the stone slab, and you could see the excitement in his eyes behind his calm face.

The arm that touched the stone slab even trembled slightly.

Because this seemingly ordinary stone slab carries the secrets of this world that span the chasm between mortals and myths.

Ackerman raised the stone slab and looked at him in the light.

It was as if he had grasped the whole world and his hand had touched the throne of God.

"The secret book of becoming a god, the method of eternal life, the authority of myth."

"It turns out it's called "The Road to Wisdom."

This was the first time he knew this name.

Since Duma, Sukob, Oran, and Kurmis, in this era, someone else has obtained this mystical book of enlightenment.

Ackerman's consciousness swept over it and completely imprinted it in his memory.

But Ackermann immediately had some doubts: "It doesn't seem to be very consistent before and after, but there is indeed no problem in theory."

This "Path of Wisdom" records only the four-part secret technique of the Divine Grace Stone, and the part about making mythical props that Kurmis obtained from the Scarlet Goddess.

Kurmis did not include the part about the reincarnated person.

So the front and back don't look unified.

Kurmis didn't lie, but asked Ackerman something specious.

"Do you think it's possible for me to get the full version of the Mystical Art of Enlightenment?"

Ackerman nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He carefully examined the above content and felt that it was enough.

Especially the four-point secret technique of the Divine Grace Stone, he felt that this part was simply a stroke of genius. This part alone had already pierced the most critical window paper of the mythical props, making Ackerman suddenly wake up.

Ackerman couldn't wait, he wanted to leave with this thing.

"I will keep my promise."

Ackerman immediately released his seal, and countless corpse-eating insects flowed back into Ackerman's body.

Ackermann rose into the air and flew towards the sky.

But he looked into the distance with a doubt in his mind.

"Why didn't the scarlet goddess come this time?"

When he came, he was actually ready to die once.

As long as you can get the method to become a god, it's worth dying no matter how many times you die.

But he didn't expect that the scarlet goddess didn't come until the end.

The moment Ackerman left and flew into the sky, Kormis suddenly asked Ackerman a question.

"Have you ever considered that you might not be the real Ackerman?"

"And after you obtain the Mystical Art of Enlightenment, the one who becomes a god is not you, but the real Ackerman."

Ackerman suddenly froze and lowered his head to look at Kurmis.

His eyes were full of doubts.

The moment Ackermann stopped, Kurmis took action.

The feathered serpent's seed jar exploded, and the intense golden light turned into beams of light and refracted around.

A large number of seeds were scattered from the jar.

The entire village, along with all the lizardmen, was overwhelmed by vines.

The entire forest was affected, all the plants seemed to come alive, and various strange phenomena occurred in the sky of the volcanic forest.

This time Kurmis can be said to have tried his best.

He took out all the props he relied on to become a god and exposed them to others.
