’Perhaps the organization’s ritual didn’t fail. It might have just been hijacked. Or perhaps there was an accident during the ritual that killed all of the organization’s members, and a lone survivor accidentally obtained the Undying Blood we’d traded for.’
’This powerful Dragon and Snake Blood without a known origin... isn’t that the Undying Perfect Blood from the Holy Snake Spirit—the body of a primordial Dragon Serpent? Su Zhou fits all the criteria. He’s likely the lucky one who accidentally received the Holy Snake Spirit’s gift.’
This was the most likely scenario.
’Although, it might not have been luck. After all, judging by Su Zhou’s typical way of doing things, it’s entirely possible he disrupted the ritual and forcibly seized the Undying Blood from the organization. Kroessel regarded Su Zhou with the utmost seriousness. No matter how incredible the possibility, he believed Su Zhou could pull it off.’
’Making an enemy of Su Zhou? It’s pointless. Why make an enemy of a powerhouse when there’s no conflict of interest?’
All Kroessel wanted was a piece of Su Zhou’s tissue—just a little bit of his blood.
’This trip to the Beast God Realm will inevitably involve combat. As the strongest powerhouse, Su Zhou will surely face the Beast God Realm’s top-tier forces. No matter how strong he is, it’s unlikely he’ll escape completely unscathed. The organization’s covert agent is carrying special containment equipment and can definitely take advantage of the chaos to obtain a small tissue sample. Then, we can analyze the trace bloodline within it to determine whether or not it’s the Undying Blood.’
’If it isn’t, that’s fine. There are many uses for the blood of Earth’s strongest powerhouse. The American Federation Government would surely be willing to pay a great price to trade for it.’
’And if it is, wouldn’t that be perfect? As the holders of the Holy Snake Spirit Prayer Book, a great Prayer, the Continuous Prayer Meeting are experts in such matters. Analyzing it to extract its various hidden powers and abilities would be child’s play. By then, every Transcendent in the entire organization might be able to advance because of it!’
As it turned out, Kroessel’s social media handle was [Su Zhou Support Group 014].
There was nothing strange about it. Infiltrating the inner circle as a fan to get firsthand information was the correct course of action. He was even one of the administrators of the main official fan group and had gotten on good terms with the Group Leader, [I Know Everything!]. At the very least, they were familiar with each other.
’The Group Leader is supposedly a real-life friend of Su Zhou’s. If I find an opportunity in the future, I might be able to get close to Su Zhou in person under the guise of an offline meetup and infiltrate his circle of friends.’
’But the risk would be too great. Secret Techniques that can see through a person’s mind are not rare in this world. Given the vast gap in our major realms, the risk isn’t proportional to the reward.’
Kroessel went online and chatted idly in the group for a while. Of course, this was to maintain his activity level in the fan group, and since the matter was confidential, he couldn’t have anyone else act for him. The blond young man’s gaze was cold and sharp. ’However, I can hire other people to act as my offline persona to attend the meetup and look for an opportunity.’
Kroessel’s plan was practically seamless. He showed no hostility, so naturally there would be no conflict. He currently held no malice toward Su Zhou, so not even mystical Secret Techniques or the Dao of Sincerity could prophesy his intentions without reason.
’If possible, recruiting Su Zhou, this potential holder of the Undying Blood, into the Continuous Prayer Meeting would be the best possible outcome. Faced with immense power, no organization’s first thought would be to destroy it, but rather to try and incorporate it into their own system.’
’It’s about time to contact the covert agent.’
With this thought, the blond young man, seated on a lavish throne forged from Silver, gold, and Gemstones, closed his eyes. He began to contact the Continuous Prayer Meeting’s covert agent in that distant land.
[Snake Attachment Skill]
The Secret Technique Kroessel cultivated originated from the Ancient Mycenaean Region. It stemmed from the Gorgon-Gaia lineage and drew upon the Power of Earth Dragon and Snake. Just as in the myths, his hair could transform into snakes, and his gaze could render a body rigid or even cause Petrification.
However, the power of the Gorgon lineage reached its limit at the Early Stage Dominator level. If he wanted to continue the Deduction upward, he would inevitably reach the domain of the former Earth God, Mother Earth Gaia. But that was the power of at least a Great Main God; in other words, the power of at least a Tier One Creator.
The leap was simply too great. From Commander Peak or Early Stage Dominator directly to Creator... Kroessel didn’t consider himself some unprecedented genius who could comprehend a Cultivation Method spanning nearly two major realms. Therefore, he could only choose to switch his Cultivation midway to the system of the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan from Ancient American Divine Era Legend.
It was precisely for this reason that, influenced by the power of his bloodline, Kroessel wasn’t as interested in flesh-and-blood sacrifices as the previous Leader had been. ①
But even so, Kroessel could still use some of the Secret Techniques derived from the Gorgons. He could have the small snakes transformed from his hair possess another person, using the Snake Attachment Skill. This would allow him to share the same perspective as the possessed individual, even communicate with them and influence some of their actions.
And that was precisely why he wasn’t worried that the covert agent would be overcome by greed, refusing to hand over Su Zhou’s tissue sample after obtaining it and instead keeping it for their own research.
’Let me see... how are things going now.’
Smiling confidently, Kroessel activated the Secret Technique. His spirit crossed the vast distance, connecting directly with the ’covert agent’.
Then, his smile froze. "What’s going on?"
