The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Chapter 187 The First Destiny Chosen

The golden blood flew and entered Morr's forehead. A burst of energy erupted from his body, shaking the boat mid-flight. Karsha used his senses to check on Xian to make sure he wasn't affected. Luckily, he was fine and deep in meditation, absorbing the energy from the spirit fruit.

Karsha sat in front of Morr and performed a series of hand seals. A spell diagram appeared above both Karsha's and Morr's heads. Karsha slashed his palm and drew blood. The blood flew into the diagram, and as soon as it did, the diagram changed color from purple to gold.

Karsha formed another seal, and three circular seals appeared around his hand. He pointed his hand toward Morr's forehead, and the three seals moved from his hand and entered Morr's forehead. The aura around Morr began to rise.

Karsha formed another seal, but this time, a thread-like rune appeared and entered Morr's body. Karsha sighed but remained alert.

He also slowed the boat but kept his senses sharp, scanning for intruders. Although the process wasn't over, Karsha could still fight if anyone showed up. All he needed was a single cut, and the poisons inside his glaive would do the rest.

He had already applied some poison to the glaive, so even a small cut could be fatal to anyone. Although he had yet to upgrade it with some of the metal ores he found back on the island, he had roughly applied the venom. A more permanent solution would be implemented when he had some free time to use the Synthesis ability.

Morr continued to absorb the golden blood, and his aura grew. Karsha already knew that one way or another, he had to help those with the Destiny Key on their heads to unlock their destinies finally. While they already had their destinies, they never truly had access to them.

Karsha was an example. Back on Earth, he had a destiny, which made him a soldier. But while many think that destinies decide who we are, it's the other way around. We decide what our destinies should be.

Karsha was once a soldier, but now he is an Alpha, growing to become a Mutant, then a World Boss, a Primordial, and much more. That is what it means to take your destiny into your own hands. Humans are not meant to grow Mutant cores—humans shouldn't have the ability to mutate—yet Karsha defied destiny and formed an Alpha core. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

He also inherited the ability to see people who would play significant roles in his life. Now that he had met Morr, he finally understood what a great gift he had been given. The Unknown Emperor was a being Karsha didn't know much about, but now he knew one thing: nothing about the Unknown Emperor is as it seems.

At first, Karsha thought he could only use the ten Destiny Keys to break the curse. Later, he discovered that the keys held secrets and abilities he could use. These abilities allowed him to see those who would stand by him in the fight against whatever Nfang had said he was destined to face. For now, the only thing he knew about them was that they were called the Nine Calamities.

But while much about them remained a mystery, there was something he could control—the will to help change the destinies of those chosen to aid him. Alida, Ayarr, Dhaka, Tifa, Kilian, June, and Xian all had the same key. No matter how hard he tried, he never fully understood it, except that he was meant to help them unlock their destinies.

However, when the key appeared on Morr's head, Karsha knew what had to be done. Morr had awakened, and now his path had to be unlocked, allowing him to become who he was meant to be, not what he was supposed to become.

The golden blood was a part of Karsha's destiny. It acted like a key, unlocking one's destiny once it awakened. If and when Morr finished absorbing it, he would unlock his true self. From that point, it would be like opening a floodgate—his future actions would be dictated by his own will, not by what he was supposed to do.

Boom.

Another aura erupted from Morr, shaking the boat once more. Karsha remained alert, ensuring the process proceeded smoothly.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Three more auras burst forth, making Karsha sigh in relief. The process had been successful, confirmed by the new message that appeared before his eyes.

< Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully awakened the innate destiny of your first Chosen. Your connection to destiny has grown stronger. >

< A new function has been added to the system: Destiny Chosens. >

< You can communicate with your Chosens from anywhere in the universe, and vice versa. You can also summon them to aid you whenever you wish, and they can summon you as well. You can transfer anything to them regardless of distance. Their glory is your glory, and their downfall is your downfall, and vice versa. They cannot betray you, but they also won't be your slaves.

They will have the free will to make their own decisions. >

< Destiny Chosens >

'This is great! I wonder what kind of talents Morr has awakened,' Karsha thought, feeling the urge to check since he knew he could, thanks to the system. But after a brief moment of pondering, before he could make up his mind, the guests he had been waiting for arrived.

"Tsk, only two Sages? What happened to the other three?" Karsha muttered before blinking into the shadows. He appeared 10 km away from the approaching Assassins. They were Sages, so despite sneaking around, their movement wasn't slow at all.

Within seconds, they closed the gap, speeding toward the boat. Karsha smiled, eyeing the Level 1 Sages who had just arrived, unknowingly walking into their deaths. "Time to taste some blood, buddy," Karsha said with a smile

"My, my, what do we have here?" a voice chimed in from behind the two Sages, causing them to stop and look. However, they didn't even need to turn their heads. The moment the sound entered their ears, a dagger and a glaive went into action.

The glaive pierced through the head of the first Sage, while Karsha used the dagger to sever the head of the second. It happened so quickly that within a second, the two Sages lay dead, and the dagger was already stored back in Karsha's space ring.

"Not sloppy at all," Karsha praised himself. Back on Earth, he had assassinated more than 50 targets—sometimes from a distance, sometimes up close—so he knew how to sneak up on people. And thanks to the evolution of his aura, he could hide his presence without leaking even a sliver of energy.

The system had also enhanced this ability, making his presence hard to detect. Only those with extremely powerful detection abilities could sense him, and even a second wasted was a second taken to cut off someone's head.

"Let's not waste this blood like the previous ones," Karsha said, sitting down. He willed the Soul Ring to start absorbing. Although he could absorb the blood directly without bringing out the ring, Karsha wasn't ready to let blood enter his body just yet, so he commanded the ring to do it instead. Within 30 seconds, all the blood had been sucked out of the bodies.

He then proceeded to absorb the cores.

"Tsk, where are the last three? I don't have all day," Karsha muttered, growing cocky now that he could feel his lesser core nearing the threshold of full saturation. Once that happened, he could form a new core, elevating him to the rank of a Great Alpha.

Because he had used Mutant cores, he wouldn't need pills to saturate the lesser core, but he would require them for the remaining cores.

"Once I'm done curing Lady Yi Ran, I'll head into the wild and finish the saturation. Once it's fully formed, I won't have to worry, even against a Great Sage. At worst, I'll be able to escape safely," Karsha sighed. While he was strong enough to dominate three stages above his current level, the Great Sage stage was a threshold he hadn't yet reached, and he couldn't claim to dominate it just yet.

Perhaps with stronger skills, Karsha might be able to defeat a Great Sage, but if the pressure he felt from Morr was even remotely close to that of a Great Sage, then he still had a long way to go. The reason Great Sages are so terrifying is that, before reaching that stage, they must fully saturate their core and establish a path.

This path dictates their future progress. If they choose the path of the swordsman, their sword skills will skyrocket upon reaching the Great Sage level. Their stats, spiritual strength, skills, and comprehension will all ascend to the next level. If a Sage is like a small swimming pool, then a Great Sage is an ocean in turmoil.

What makes them even more formidable are the innate blessings they awaken. Females awaken their innate Constitutions, while males awaken their Martial Physiques. Even the weakest Physique or Constitution grants significant benefits to the cultivator. Thus, Great Sages stand uncontested by anyone below their stage.

But who is Karsha? He is a human who has defied fate and become an Alpha, soon to become a Mutant. Just like the Great Sages, he can also grow stronger by forming more cores filled with chaotic energy, and when that energy is unleashed, the heavens will shake and crumble.

"Morr will be done by now. Time to go back," Karsha sighed one last time and blinked into the shadows, leaving only bones covered in skin behind
