The Mark Of The SUN GOD!

Set under the infinite oxygen supply of the Crimson Curse's ability, Oxygen started swimming to the bottom of the pond. But after swimming for a couple of minutes, he still couldn't see the bottom. And the deeper he went, the darker it got, shrouding any dangers in dark. After an hour, Set got tired of swimming and took out the Titan Blade, letting it fly down. And the good thing was that it flew faster than Set could swim, allowing him to cover more ground in less time. Enough, to make him regret not thinking about it earlier as he had spent a lot of effort in swimming.

After half an hour of swimming, Set was in total darkness. The little light from the pond had long since vanished as he had swum deep. So he bought diver gears from the system... actually calling it diver gear was a stretch. Although he had found a diver's gear kit, why waste his precious blood points on such costly garbage? So he purchased a flashlight and a helmet.

And with duck tape he took from the system inventory, he made his own DIY diver helmet. After about another half an hour of swim flying, Set reached an opening. But as soon as he entered, it was like he was plunged into the void of the Eternal Abyss. He was surrounded by pitch-black darkness, and even the flashlight had become useless in this endless void. Only showing him a couple of centimeters ahead. But just before Set to go any further, he saw a tiny but bright light. Small as in it was far away. But Set could see that it was getting bigger and brighter with every second that had passed until finally, it was right in front of him.

But when he looked at it, the light was no bigger than a basketball. And at the center of it was a crystal-like pitch-black card. It was the size of a regular playing card, but it was certainly not a measly playing card. It was the celestial treasure Set had come for!

'My awesomeness must have attracted it here,' said Set as he moved to grab the card with utter glee. And unlike other novels, in which the mc was about to get a mighty treasure, no one came to interrupt the sacred ritual of claiming the treasure of heaven.

As Set grabbed the card, there was a reaction. A golden sun mark appeared at the center, identical to that of the Titan Blade as well as the one on Set's wrist. At the same time, the Titan Blade appeared, and the sun mark shown with blinding light, as well as the mark on the card and Set's wrist.

[Celestial Treasure Wizard's Express claimed]

Set was over the moon! Now he had two celestial treasures and a multitude of innate abilities. If this wasn't favoritism, I don't know what it is. But as many movie and novel narrators say... All good things must come to an end. And that's exactly what happened. As Set was swimming back to the opening, he heard the light sound of chains snapping! But even before he could react, a wave of killing intent was released, and a loud deafening roar was heard.

His stomach dropped! His heart tightened! His soul trembled! Whatever was down there... was... was an Emperor-class beast! Set trembled, feeling as if his soul was about to be yanked out of his body. Blood rolled out of the corner of his lip and diffuses into the water. He tried to fly swim out of the void, but then it happened. What the hell happened you say? Pressure happened. Set could barely move his body, let alone hang on to the Titan Blade as he flew away.

'SO MUCH POWER!'Set couldn't help but think. He's lost all control over his body. But hoping to counter the pressure he activated the innate ability, Golden Buddha Body (Buddha Body). His skin became slightly yellowish, and a faint golden glow emanated from his body. Although the pressure that assaulted his body had died down, it had only been diminished by a pitiful amount. As Set was thinking of a way to escape, he felt something was watching him.

His body trembled, and the pressure on his body intensified thousand times over. His body under the intense assault from the pressure... Exploded! Yes, You read it correctly... HE EXPLODED!

*Heaven*

A familiar Gray Scaled Fish was swimming when it suddenly started acting crazy.

"Brrrrrrrrr"

*Translation*

"That's how it feels you Motherf*****! Motherf*****! Motherf*****. . ."

As it was celebrating the death of the man that killed him an angel appeared in front of it and said,

"What do you think you are doing? Haven't you read the rules?"

The Gray Scale Fish shook its head and said, "What rules?"

"There is no cussing in Heaven and the penalty is an hour in hell per curse, and by the looks of it you cussed... about seventy-four times. Meaning you are going to spend three days and two hours in hell. NOW BE GONE!"

And just like that the fish exploded into a bright light and disappeared.

[Golden Buddha Body has leveled up]

Of course, Set couldn't die that easily. Or more accurately he wouldn't die and stay dead.

[Blood point deduced]

The familiar system announcement was made as Set was healed to perfection. Although he was still unconscious, the Golden Buddha Body was still active. And every time Set exploded, which was a lot of times, the innate ability would level up. After exploding a hundred times, the ability had already surpassed the level of the cursed flame.

The best thing was that Set's body was constantly being destroyed and repaired continuously tempering his body. Making him stronger and increasing his resistance to the pressure

And after another hundred plus explosions, Set's body stopped exploding. Yes, now he was strong enough not to explode under the immense pressure. Although he did not explode, he was still unconscious. Making his situation nonetheless dire. His body was now the same as a golden statue, and the crazy thing was the Golden Budha Body innate ability was still leveling up, only showing the extent of the pressure Set was experiencing. His body experienced many changes as the Golden Buddha Body leveled up, but that wasn't the end of it.

*Ten minutes earlier*

Thousands of meters below, in the darkness of the Eternal Void, lay a dragon-like beast. Its scales, golden as if they were created by the sun. Its eyes, red as if they had been forged from the pits of hell. Its talons, sharp as if they could cut through the heavens with just a flick of a wrist. It's physical, dominating as if God had made it himself. But sadly, one main feature was missing this dragon-like beast, wings.

But something was wrong, on each of its four limbs were thick black chains that could seal even the heavens, extending even deeper into the void. Where the chains led, no one knew. The dragon's eyes had long lost their shine. They were dull and lifeless. The dragon had been imprisoned there for eons, and the pressure had long since lost its effect on him, which was also the main reason for its dominant body. And for a fire type celestial beast, being underwater...You understand where I'm going with this, don't you?

But then all of a sudden, the dragon's eyes shifted upwards.

"How ... MANY YEARS ... HAS ... HAS IT BEEN?" asked the dragon with a crooked voice. But you couldn't blame him, he had been imprisoned in the void for eons without anyone to talk to.

"HOW MANY YEARS HAS IT BEEN? SINCE I WAS VISITED BY ANOTHER HUMAN?" but before the dragon could continue, its eyes shied.

"THE SEAL HAS BEEN BROKEN!" The dragon feeling the seal being lifted, flexed his muscles breaking the chains that had imprisoned him for eons. The everlasting killing intent was released. The killing intent was so strong that even the forest where Hifumi and the hunting party were engulfed in it.

*ROAR*

But then the dragon sensed something, something that brought fear and terror, "THIS HUMAN! HOW ... HOW COULD IT BE POSSIBLE ... FROM HIM TO HAVE THE MARK ... OF THE SUN GOD?!"
