Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 45 Discovery
a few days later.

In the laboratory, Katim passed his arm casually.

Opposite him, the body of a bison lay quietly. At this moment, it was rapidly changing under the influence of the ritual. The entire body began to curl up and turned into a mummy.

Along with this process, Katim's body also began to be affected, and a large amount of life force poured out of the corpse and flowed into his body.

This life force initially flowed into his body, and then gradually increased, making his body become stronger all the time.

The body quickly becomes stronger. The feeling brought by this experience is very good, giving people a sense of pleasure as if life is transforming.

"The effect is getting weaker and weaker."

After a while, Katim ended the ritual and shook himself off from that feeling.

He already felt the problem.

As he performed the ritual, his power was growing rapidly.

But as he continued to perform rituals, his physical strength continued to increase, and his requirements for sacrifices became higher and higher.

At the beginning, even ordinary beasts at the level of rats and rabbits could give him good feedback.

But it won't work now.

Ordinary rabbits and mice can no longer bring him any improvement.

To perform rituals, large creatures must be used.

Such as cattle and sheep.

Although it is normal for the effect of the ritual to become weaker and weaker as the strength increases, this speed seems to be too fast.

After some testing, Katim discovered a pattern.

The power of ritual feedback does not simply depend on the strength of the life form.

The type of organism also plays a role.

Even if it is a very weak life form, as long as it has not been sacrificed in the past and is a fresh sacrifice, the effect will be much better.

But if the sacrifice used is always the same without any change, then the effect will gradually weaken.

Therefore, even if the sacrifice used for the first time is only a weak life like a rabbit, it can still have considerable effects.

This discovery made Katim think deeply.

He felt now that this ritual was not as simple as he imagined.

He probably calculated.

The sacrifices used in sacrifices are transformed into pure life force through rituals, and only about one-tenth of the life force will be concentrated on his head.

In other words, assuming that the vitality that the ritual can transform is ten, he can only get [-]%.

As for the other [-]%, they simply disappeared.

Of course, ritual transformation of vitality itself also involves losses, and it is impossible to consume nothing at all during the entire process.

But even so, the ratio of [-]% is too exaggerated.

This doesn't look like normal consumption, but rather like there's something behind the scenes taking a commission, silently receiving kickbacks.

This discovery made Katim think deeply.

He felt like, why does this thing look so much like a pyramid scheme?
Let others obtain the vitality through rituals, and then directly draw a commission from the ready-made vitality, leaving only a small part for the user, and the bulk will be taken away by himself.

This routine seems familiar to me.

Of course, even so, this ritual is still cost-effective to use.

After all, normally, ordinary people have no means to transform their vitality.

Ceremony can serve as this medium and play a role in transformation. To a certain extent, it can also be regarded as technology investment.

If it were that simple, it wouldn't be a big deal.

I'm just afraid that the problem is not that simple.

Katim thought.He has not forgotten the origin of this ceremony.

Ritual originates from gods and demons and is a medium for ancient fighters to pursue the power of gods and demons.

In other words, if there is really someone behind this ritual who is enjoying the benefits, then it is probably the ancient gods and demons of this world.

"It feels like the situation is getting more and more complicated."

After thinking for a moment, Katim couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that the situation was getting more and more complicated.

But to him, it didn't matter.

If there are hidden dangers, there are hidden dangers.

Anyway, he is not from this world.

It doesn't matter whether the gods and demons behind it want to use this method to gain power and revive, or they want to use this power to corrode Katim.

What's here is not his real body. At worst, he just pats his butt and leaves.

Katim was just curious about the mechanics.

He thinks this method is very interesting. When giving benefits to others, he can still get the largest share of the benefits.

If he could figure out the specific mechanism of how this ritual works, could he also create his own ritual?
When the time comes, let others come to sacrifice him, and he will do nothing. In this way, he will hide behind his back and take the profits. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Unfortunately, although this idea is good, it is difficult.

If the methods of gods and demons are so easy to learn, can they still be called the methods of gods and demons?
Katim studied for a while, but couldn't figure out anything. He could only roughly figure out that the mechanism of this ritual should be related to the runes in it.

These runes look like patterns, and at the same time they look like some kind of unique words. They are very unique, as if their own structure has some kind of power.

It even has some special properties.

In the past, Khadim had tried to have others carve the runes.

Then he was surprised to find that these people couldn't do it at all.

Even if they saw these runes, when they actually came forward to carve them, they just couldn't do it. They couldn't carve out these words like Katim.

This may also be some kind of limitation.

Even if ordinary people see these runes, they do not have the ability to depict them.

As for Katim himself, he guessed that it might be because he had received the inheritance in the inheritance place before.

Perhaps when he accepted the inheritance from ancient fighters in the previous inheritance place, he had already opened up this part of the authority, and he was different from others from then on.

After thinking for a moment, Katim stepped aside.

He opened a cabinet.

The cabinet is full of body-building potions. At a glance, there are about thirty or forty bottles.

These are Katim's bonuses.

Previously at the Land of Inheritance, in addition to the life ritual, he also received a complete training method.

For this training method originating from ancient fighters, both Mogao and Gero spent a lot of money to exchange it.

Katim also learned a lot from this training method.

The body-building potion is just one of them, there are many others.

Looking at the potion placed in front of him, Katim opened the bottle without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp.

When the potion enters the mouth, a warm feeling sweeps through the body, covering the whole body in an instant.

Feeling this feeling, Katim smiled on his face, and then quickly entered a state of practice.

He stayed in this state until midnight, when he stopped.

He walked out of the room and outside the martial arts hall, wanting to walk home.

A figure caught his attention and drew his attention instantly.
