Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

That is, during the first Battle of Rodel, there was a third force lurking between the Golden Family and the Monarch's Alliance.

This force turned the already loose alliance of monarchs into a farce, causing them to disintegrate before they could even get close to the first wall of Rodel.

Based on the Blood Rose that Zicomo discovered in the dilapidated Second Church of Marica behind the Sword Monument, it is not difficult to deduce who this third-party force is.

That's right, it's the Blood Dynasty.

The Blood Rose is a symbol of the Blood Dynasty, and there is also the Blood Finger here, who worships the Blood King Munger.

The Bloodfinger were once Faded Ones, but they went mad because of the cursed blood and would attack the Faded Ones in a frenzy.

The so-called cursed blood can drive people into madness, and the cursed blood is related to the Blood King Monger.

Zicomo also asked Rataen about this, and he said that many soldiers did indeed go mad at that time.

This shows that Monge was behind the first Battle of Rodel.

Not far away in the Land of Beginnings, the white-masked man who had met Zikomo once was a member of the Blood Dynasty.

This is why Zicomo appears here after he is released.

His next target is the Great Rune of Blood King Monger.

But now is clearly not the time to deal with the white mask; it's more important to test one's own strength.

Zicomo and Lani arrived at a nearby plain, intending to hold the battle there.

“Are you ready?” Zicomo asked.

"Come, my king. Show me what you've got."

Upon hearing Lani's answer, Zicomo habitually started with a radiant stone spell.

At this moment, the god-like man's powerful mental strength was demonstrated. Operations that Zicomo could not do before, he could now try at will.

Take, for example, the multicast operation.

Zicomo waved his wand, and several radiant stone spells simultaneously coalesced and shot towards Lani.

Lani also waved her wand, and a barrier of moonlight blocked the attacks.

Neither of them went all out, and Lani simply cooperated with Zicomo in testing her own strength.

Zicomo initially only felt that the magic power in his body had become very strong, and that the energy consumption of casting spells had decreased significantly.

Until he saw the destruction his and Lani's magic had caused to the surrounding terrain.

A simple shard spell created a crater two meters in diameter in the ground.

He wasn't incapable of doing it before, but it required him to infuse a large amount of magic into a spell.

Zicomo was thinking about this with a multitasking mind, and soon realized the problem.

This is due to an increase in the quality of one's own magic.

This is equivalent to a huge increase in the base attack power in the game, which leads to a significant increase in the damage caused by magic.

This also raised a new question for Zicomo: if gods are all beings at this level, how did he manage to kill several demigods who were second only to gods?

Zicomo raised this question with the system, and the system provided the answer.

[The demigods you faced before were not at their peak. Don't forget that Rataen had a deadly battle with Malenia before this.]

[Does the host recall watching the game's opening cinematic where each character's entrance was marked by a death scene, and each scene displayed a "blessing point" icon?]

That was the power of blessing that brought them back to life, but this doesn't mean they can keep rising from the dead indefinitely; each resurrection comes at a price.

"I see."

Having cleared up his doubts, Zicomo's test of his own abilities was almost over.

He waved for Lani to stop, and Lani came to Zicomo's side.

"The king's power is already greater than mine."

Lani could sense that Zicomo's magic was stronger than hers.

that's the truth.

Zicomo's advancement was achieved by absorbing the power of his clone to its limit and by using a magic crystal made from the roots of the golden tree.

He is now essentially a juvenile Golden Tree, an alternative form of Elden Beast.

Once he grows up, being on par with the gods will be no problem at all.

P.S.: The power's been out all day, so I typed this chapter on my phone. I'll update another chapter tonight if the power comes back on.

Chapter 110: Melina Parts Her Hair in the Middle at the Border, and She Returns Online

Having completed his strength test, Zicomo wanted to try out the effects of his ultimate move.

This can't be tried on Lani.

He led Lani to the edge of a cliff at the end of the plain.

Raise your wand and begin to condense "Comet Yazler".

Zicomo stopped channeling magic into the spell when he could no longer control it, and then released it in one fell swoop.

A deep shockwave shot out to the sea, cutting the horizon in two, and even the clouds directly above disappeared without a trace.

Zicomo was blinded by the wind and waves created by the magic, and when the wind and waves subsided, he saw the scene before him.

After a while, the seawater began to back up, and a roaring sound came from afar.

Zicomo looked at the commotion he had caused and wondered if this could be considered parting the boundary between the two sides.

Compared to a certain bald man, he felt he was still far behind.

The commotion in Zicomo was quite significant, and everyone in the vicinity noticed it.

In particular, a certain Miss Wood, who was secretly observing, watched the whole thing.

As mentioned before, Melina can use the various blessing points to travel between border areas.

When Zicomo and Lani fought, they tacitly avoided the Church of Elek, since it was the place where the two met, and they naturally couldn't bear to destroy it.

The Church of Elektra has a blessing point, which gave Melina the opportunity to appear.

Our Miss Wood had already appeared when Zikomo entered the border area.

Zicomo has been in seclusion for several days, but he hasn't informed this person.

So Melina was constantly wondering why Zicomo hadn't shown up yet.

Zicomo's sudden appearance really startled her.

Because at this time, Zicomo is in his childhood, and he is with Lani, who has long since disappeared, and Lani is also in her childhood.

Before she could even figure out what was going on, the sparring between Zikomo and Lani left Melina even more bewildered.

Judging from the auras emanating from them, both of them were at the level of gods.

When will those who have faded from the face be able to become gods?

Could it be that she has fallen into the illusion of the Will of Madness?

Then she saw Zicomona's shot cut through the sea.

She swore that if it was a hallucination, she would burn the golden tree immediately.

Zicomo had already noticed the wooden lady, but he didn't expose her spying.

Because he sensed that someone was heading this way, and that was his target, the white-masked Van Lei.

Vanre is near the starting point, waiting to guide new faded ones onto the path of cursed blood.

He also noticed the commotion, so he decided to go and take a look.

When he arrived, he saw a boy and a girl, both around ten years old, standing on the edge of the cliff.

"Oh? You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for a long time, Vanley."

Zicomo's words surprised Vanre slightly. When did he become so famous in the border region?

Even children know his name now?

“Little friend, do you know me?” Van Lei asked.

Zicomo did not answer him, but instead bound him with magic with a wave of his hand.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Van Lei struggled, only to find that he could not break free from the invisible ropes binding him.

"Child, you can't treat me like this. We can talk things over."

“Oh? Really?” Zicomo asked with interest.

"real!"

Van Lei nodded repeatedly. If they could communicate, things would be much easier. He was a propagandist for the Blood King and was very good at persuading people.

"Alright, then hand over the method to get to the Blood Dynasty."

Van Lei paused for a moment.

Something's not right! How does this child know who he's loyal to?
