Late at night, a guy and two girls showed up at a warehouse in the San Fernando Valley.
These three weren't there to film so Valley flick; they were there to perform a ritual.
"Roy, are you sure you want to do this ritual in a place like this?"
Heather looked around at the surroundings with a bit of a disgusted look. There were all sorts of sports pads and gear thrown in the corners, and it slled faintly of heather.
Clearly, this warehouse wasn't used for storage; it was more like a set for so low-budget adult movies.
Roy nodded.
"This is the perfect spot. If we make any weird noises here, nobody's gonna think twice about it."
Penny also frowned a little. She'd spotted so needles too.
"Yeah, I guess, but it's still kinda gross!"
"Then let's just get this ritual done and get outta here. I don't want to hang around here any longer than I have to."
Under Roy's direction, the three of them started cleaning up the place, moving the questionable mattresses and chairs and stuff like that into the corners, making a sowhat clean space in the middle of the warehouse.
"I'm gonna start getting the magic circle ready. You two stand by the door and keep an eye out."
Roy gestured for the two won to step back. Heather suddenly raised her hand.
"Can I record this with the digital cara?"
[Rember the fastest novel website on the entire network 101kan]
Hasn't Heather given up on her dream of directing?
But recording it isn't a bad idea. Bloodline fusion rituals are pretty rare, and if it works, it could be a good example.
Roy officially started drawing the magic circle.
The Key of Solomon had a bunch of magic circles for bloodline fusion. After all, back in those mythical tis, legends were everywhere, and demigods were a di a dozen.
You could just bump into soone on the street, and they might be so god's illegitimate kid.
So, so black magic users figured out how to off demigods and fuse the divine bloodline from them to make themselves stronger.
This ritual was called the Pact of the Defiant One. The original ritual was super complicated and would even make the person doing it turn back into a fetus. That was the best outco, as it could keep all the good parts of both different bloodlines.
Of course, Roy definitely couldn't turn back into a fetus, so he decided to use a simplified version.
The simplified version definitely wouldn't be as effective. It would make the two bloodlines unstable, and he'd have to do a ritual every so often to stabilize his body.
But Roy had the ultimate fusion agent, the Perfect Blood, which could ignore that negative effect, so the simplified Pact of the Defiant One would be good enough.
First up were the materials for drawing the magic circle. This ti, Roy was prepared, so he didn't need to go for the cheap version.
He mixed his own blood, silver powder, gold powder, and diamond powder in a certain ratio, then drew a magic circle on the ground. The center part was the design of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
Originally, it also needed blood from the veins at the base of angel wings and the heart's blood of a demon as fusion materials.
But Roy himself already had the virgin blood of the Archangel Michael and the demon lord's blood given by the King of Sloth, Belial. The materials he had were way higher quality than the original recipe.
Sitting cross-legged in the center of the magic circle, Roy took a deep breath and officially started the ritual.
He took out two small bowls. In one bowl, he put sulfur, elderflower powder, and red crystal powder. In the other, he put sulfur, oak powder, and blue crystal powder. He lit them separately, making a dark red fla and a light blue fla.
Then, he took a swig of the Perfect Blood, maybe around 3 or 4 ounces.
Right after that, he used his ntal power to get the magic circle going.
Instantly, the Pact of the Defiant One magic circle gave off a mix of gold, silver, and red light.
The three colors kept swirling around, eventually flowing into Roy's body.
At that mont, Heather and Penny, who were watching, thought they saw a ghostly image of a golden tree appear on Roy. This was the image of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.
According to the Book of Genesis, Chapter 2, verses 8-9, the Tree of Life was in the middle of the Garden of Eden. In religion and philosophy, it usually represents the path to God.
And in alchemy and ritual magic, this symbol generally ans ascension and purification.
Roy fusing human blood, angel blood, and demon blood together was basically challenging God's authority and was also a kind of upgrade for his life form.
After the ghostly image of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, Roy reached his hands into the small bowls in front of him that were burning with dark red and light blue flas. The flas followed his arms and spread to his whole body, covering his skin.
This scene made Heather and Penny gasp in surprise. It was way more intense than any movie special effect.
But the two won had been told by Roy beforehand that unless he said sothing, they shouldn't interfere no matter what happened.
The two flas rged together, slowly turning into a bright golden fla. This fla just covered Roy's body and didn't hurt him at all, not even singeing his hair.
Right after that, a cloud of blood mist rose from Roy's body. The blood mist ford images of angels, demons, and humans above Roy, blending together so you couldn't tell them apart.
Finally, this blood mist went back into Roy's body.
"Aaaah—"
Roy let out a painful scream. The bloodlines of angels and demons had started to fuse, and two opposing forces were changing his body.
This was incredibly painful, but Roy had to stay conscious to finish the ritual, or he could end up in a coma.
Luckily, Roy's 43 points of Willpower ca in handy. Even though the pain was awful, he never lost consciousness.
This scene really worried Heather and Penny. They both wanted to stop the ritual several tis, but they rembered Roy saying that if the ritual was interrupted incorrectly, it would cause irreversible and terrible accidents.
Finally, after Roy roared for a whole hour, the golden flas on his body gradually faded away, and he heard the system notification.
[The special ability Son of a Demon and the special ability Angel Blood have fused into The Defiant One!]
The magic circle dimd, and the warehouse went silent.
It was a good thing they were in the San Fernando Valley. If Roy had scread that badly anywhere else, the cops would have shown up ages ago.
"Roy, are you okay?"
Seeing that the ritual was over, Heather and Penny quickly ran over to help Roy up, but they found that his body was giving off terrifyingly high heat. Just getting close to him felt scorching hot.
"Don't, don't touch ! You'll get burned. Just let chill for a bit."
Roy sat on the ground, constantly breathing out hot steam from his mouth.
At this point, Roy's appearance had changed a lot. His original black hair had turned white, not like an old person's white hair, but a white that shone with a faint starlight.
He had a pair of huge, slightly curved black horns on his head, which had a powerful kind of beauty.
One of his eyes had turned into a silver-blue pupil with a white eyeball, and the other had beco a dark golden pupil with a black eyeball.
This special heterochromia, different from normal people, had a captivating charm that made Heather and Penny stare in amazent.
At the sa ti, so glowing patterns had appeared on Roy's exposed, toned body, as beautiful as artwork.
Penny looked at Roy, stuttering, seeming a little hot under the collar from his good looks.
"R-Roy, will you always look like this from now on?"
"What do I look like now? Do you guys have a mirror?"
How could girls not have mirrors? Heather and Penny both pulled out small mirrors from their bags so Roy could see himself.
"Not too bad! I just finished the bloodline fusion, so this is my bloodline's manifested state. It'll go back in a little while."
Heather licked her lips, a lustful look on her face.
"Actually, looking like this all the ti doesn't seem so bad! I really like it!"
Penny quickly agreed.
"Yeah, totally!"
Yep, it's not just guys who are horny; girls are too. That's why they say food and sex are human nature.
"Ahem, it's still a little inconvenient to go out looking like this. If you guys like it, you can check it out more later in private."
Heather's eyes lit up.
"Roy, you said it!"
The newest and fastest novels are first published at ⊥⊥⊥!
Roy nodded, then went into the system to check out his changes.
First, in the attribute panel, where it used to say Human (Hybrid), it had changed to Nephilim, showing that Roy's race had completely changed.
Then, for his stats, all of them had increased by 3 points, pushing Roy's Constitution past 52 points, making him less and less human.
Wait, Roy didn't seem to be human anymore.
Next was the fused ability, combining the two major special abilities into The Defiant One.
[The Defiant One: You have obtained the forbidden bloodline after the fusion of angel and demon, destined to face hostility from both Heaven and Hell, but at the sa ti, you possess the power of both. However, this is only the first step of ascension!
Passive ability: You can now fuse the positive and negative energy within your body into chaos energy. Chaos energy can be used as the energy cost for all abilities.
Active ability: You can now freely transform into either a demon form or an angel form.]
The new ability didn't seem to have changed much on the surface, just turning the different kinds of energy in Roy's body into a bigger energy pool. Whether it was fear energy, desire energy, or justice points, they all ca together to beco chaos energy.
This did improve energy usage. For example, the previously scarce justice points were no longer an issue.
Even the desire energy, which he didn't use much, could co in handy now.
It was just this active ability…
Roy got ready to try it out.
"You two step back a little, I want to try out my new ability!"
Heather and Penny quickly backed up against the wall and then saw Roy's entire skin turn dark red. A pair of huge bat wings sprouted from his back, and his whole body expanded several sizes, his height going over ten feet, almost as big as a car.
Looking at his stats again, his physical stats had temporarily increased by 20!
Holy cow, this transformation effect was just as crazy as the blessing Elizabeth had given Roy during the House of Wax incident!
Compared to the Son of a Demon form, his temporary stats had doubled!
This made Roy happy, and then he switched to angel form.
With almost no feeling of resistance, Roy's body started quickly shrinking back to its normal size, and the bat wings on his back folded back in, turning into two pairs of white wings of light.
And Roy found that his three ntal stats had also gotten a temporary boost of 20 points.
This level of power was definitely different!
"Roy, you were so hot just now!"
Heather and Penny walked up to Roy, who had returned to his human form, with their mouths hanging open.
"Hmm? Not hot now?"
Penny looked down at the nightstick that she both loved and hated.
"Hmm—you'd be even hotter if you put so clothes on."
Alright, transforming into a giant demon over ten feet tall had caused Roy's clothes to rip.
At this point, Roy really envied the Hulk's shorts. No matter how he transford or fought, those shorts always managed to stay on and protect the Hulk's privates.
Man, he wanted a pair of those!
"Ahem! Give my clothes!"
Luckily, Roy was worried about sothing going wrong with his consciousness, so he had prepared so clothes in advance. Otherwise, it would have been awkward when they left the warehouse later.
Heather and Penny took out the clothes and helped Roy put them on. The three of them tidied up the place, destroying any evidence of the magic ritual, and then left the warehouse.
Just as the three of them left, a nun dressed in white with her eyes covered walked into the warehouse.
The strange sll in the warehouse made the nun frown involuntarily.
"The scent of an angel, and the scent of a demon! Could there be other angels who have co down? Why are there no signs of a fight here?"
The nun slowly walked around the warehouse, finally stopping at the spot where Roy had drawn the Pact of the Defiant One magic circle. By this ti, the magic circle had been erased, and so junk had been placed on top of it.
But this couldn't stop the nun's gaze. Her eyes seed to be able to see right through the black cloth and the junk on the ground.
"Traces of a magic ritual! Let see what happened."
The eyes beneath the nun's black cloth gave off a dazzling silver light, looking through the black cloth to see another world.
But a mont later, the nun frowned deeply again.
"Still can't see it? Could it be that the person who put Michael to sleep was here before?"
The nun closed her eyes and remained silent, analyzing the possible information in her mind.
At this mont, the warehouse manager received Roy's ssage and ca back to check things out.
"Huh, who are you? Are you an actress? Didn't you guys finish up?"
Speaking of which, the nun's loose white habit, plus the black cloth covering her eyes, did have a pretty unique vibe that would probably really appeal to so people.
The warehouse manager's eyes lit up.
"Tsk tsk, what's the na of this movie you're making? I'll definitely buy a copy to support you when it cos out!"
Although she had only recently co down to the human world, the Angel of Wisdom already had so understanding of modern human society and knew that the warehouse manager wasn't saying anything proper.
So, the nun picked up the black leather book she carried with her and started flipping through it.
"Fallen one, rember that desire is a demon that eats away at the soul! You must abstain from pleasure for a week!"
"Hahaha, your acting is really good! I just love this kind of… Wait, what did you do to ?"
The warehouse manager suddenly realized he couldn't find his "little buddy" anymore, which scared him a lot. His first thought was that this weird nun in front of him had done sothing to him.
"In a week, you will naturally return to normal! Now, tell who used this warehouse before."
