Reborn as an Extra Chapter 851: To the Demon Continent! Part-1.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
With the memory stored in the crown of realms coming to an end, Rio’s consciousness returned to his body.
For a few seconds, his memories remained a bit hazy, but he immediately jolted back to his senses after remembering all the information that he had learned from the crown.
’No wonder the Demon King dared to say the words, ’King Allen Never Lost’... I finally understand it all...’
’With the power of manipulating destiny to pre-write your fate as victorious... there’s simply no way he could have lost... but then why didn’t he return if he had won?’
Although the memories from the crown answered a lot of Rio’s questions, many new questions rose in his heart once again.
’The birth of King Allen was really special... and his actions later in life clearly depict he had some sort of prediction ability... He was likely able to communicate directly with the heavenly will and ask it for information...’
’The origin of all the five members of the previous golden generation... even the creation of the elemental sword art... this memory really has a lot...’
For a time Rio’s entire mind was occupied by the surge of memories, and it took a lot of effort to organize so much information.
After an entire hour, Rio finally got up from the ground, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
’To think that you can actually choose to not ascend and sacrifice your ascension in order to have a ’chat’ with the ’Origin’ itself... this is some high-tier knowledge...’
’And it’s really surprising that Marik... that big fat snake actually knows so many secrets of the universe! That fellow knows everything that Ivan learned from the ’Origin’!’
’Once I reach rank SS, I will go and pay a visit to that fellow and ask him for more information...’
Talking about ascending to rank SS, Rio could now clearly feel that his body was in the most perfect state possible for ascending, and even the stats in the stat panel had all been pushed to the limit.
Now all that was needed was a proper moment and place to ascend.
’I can finally visit the demon continent...’
Glancing at his wristwatch, only three days had passed since Rio entered the basement.
’The time difference inside the memory and the outside world is really too big... I feel like I have really spent a thousand years inside the memory...’
In the memory, Rio watched everything like he was watching a film in a theater, and he had no ability to interfere with the playback of this film.
There was no option to rewind or fast-forward; Rio had to watch it all slowly to digest all the memories in his head.
’The most important information that I have learned from this... is the existence of the ’God of Decay’!’
’Since the day I transmigrated, I finally have some basic information about my ultimate enemy... the SSS rank boss monster that I have to deal with in the future is called the ’God of Decay’!’
’No wonder the other party has a skill like ’Atomic disintegration’... it is possible to decay all atoms of the body using authority of the ’law’ of ’decay’...’
Although the ’God of Decay’ never showed his true body in the memories, Rio could have never mistaken that ominous presence, which seemed quite similar to what he had sensed from Alverto’s memories.
It was clear that this so-called ’God of Decay’ was still very much alive, as it had made Alverto its pawn only just recently and had made the other party summon the spire of ascension.
’So, what I have to fight is not a mindless boss of a dungeon, but an entity that can freely create its own dungeon, descend anywhere in the world, disintegrate planets with a flick of a finger...’
’And even has the knowledge and experience of two thousand years!’
For awakeners, age was equal to higher combat power.
A newly ascended S ranker would obviously be weaker than an awakener who’s been stuck in rank S for a hundred years; this was common knowledge.
’Sigh, I haven’t even reached rank SS yet, and I can already feel the power gap... rank SS will not be enough to deal with the other party, but at least it can give me a decent amount of safety...’
Although the memories gained from the crown redefined the seriousness of the threat posed by the God of Decay, they also provided Rio with a wealth of information that was useful to him in his current situation.
’Alverto managed to summon the spire of ascension using three ’Fragments’, and King Allen managed to forge a sword capable of destroying the world using just seven of those mysterious ’Fragments’...’
’The power and authority held by these mysterious fragments is immense!... Unfortunately, the seven coordinates of the fragments that King Allen got from Ivan are not useless, as all those fragments were used up by King Allen and destroyed...’
Rio knew that it was impossible to recover those used fragments because he had seen the same situation with Alverto.
Alverto had used three fragments to summon the ’Spire of Ascension,’ and despite killing him, Rio never got those three fragments back.
This clearly indicated that although the powers contained in those fragments are immense, they can only be used once, and the fragment can disappear if the power inside them is used completely.
’I will have to thank the Demon King when I meet him again for giving me all this information... If I had to look for all this information myself, it might have taken me years to find out everything...’
A rare smile appeared on Rio’s usually emotionless face as he stretched his limbs a bit and then walked out of the sealed basement room.
’Urgh, I feel like it’s been ages since I saw Lia; my ’Lipium’ meter is running empty. I should go back and recharge it to full first.’
’I will think about everything else later.’
