Chapter 2 The Newborn
```
[Title Acquired: 'Life Sacrificer Emerging from Obscurity']
[God-Given Title]
[Title Introduction: So young, yet so ruthless, this person must be eliminated or they will become a huge threat to the Church and a colossus of the Magic Tao.]
[Title Effect: Wearing this title, increase in sacrifice return rate by ten percent.]
As expected, the title system of this world still exists.
An Su thought.
The so-called title system meant that once you fulfilled a certain achievement, the gods in charge of titles from the divine realm would bestow an appropriate title upon you.
If you wanted to enjoy the title's boost, you needed to wear the title, and once worn, the title and its introduction would be displayed to everyone.
Next came the magic bestowed by the Mother Goddess of Life.
According to the esoteric religion system, the Mother Goddess would decide the quality of the boon based on the quality of the sacrificial offerings.
The twenty-one cultists An Su sacrificed were of decent rank, with both quantity and quality present, so he was able to receive an intermediate stage magic tome, with higher levels including high-rank, legendary, and even god-level tomes available.
Using magic from different ranks would also consume different amounts of magic points.
That is, mana.
Moreover, the amount of mana consumed by using different magic attributes could increase or decrease based on the user's corresponding attribute talent.
The base mana of An Su's body was 3 points.
It was the most basic first-order mage.
Second-order mages had 10~20 points, third-order had 20~30 points, and so on.
Furthermore, a first-order mage could only equip four magic tomes, or in other words, four memory slots, in battle.
To change the magic in the memory slots, one would have to wait until the battle was over.
Second-order carried six, third-order carried eight, and the pattern continued.
Because his dark talent was special and he lacked light talent, the mana consumed while using Evil God magic was halved and doubled while using Holy Light magic.
Naturally suited for misdeeds!
Perhaps for this reason, the original body's owner had been prohibited from practicing magic from a young age.
The Life Evil God was a main god level Evil God with many powers at its disposal.
The array of magic tomes related to the Goddess of Life was dazzling.
Since it was an intermediate stage blessing, aside from the exclusive magic of the Evil God series, there were common magic from other attributes such as earth, fire, and so on, which An Su would not consider at the moment.
There was one Evil God magic that An Su found quite interesting.
[Blessing of the Goddess of Life]
[Blessing Magic]
[Intermediate Stage]
[Each use consumes 4 magic points (originally 8)]
The Blessing of the Goddess seems like a very holy and normal thing by name, but in reality, it is extremely sinister—akin to something that everyone in his previous world would join in to condemn. It is the kind of magic you don't have to use, but must have, and it must be something your opponent cannot have.
The Gift of the Goddess of Holy Light is the light of healing, the Gift of the Forest Goddess is the growth of trees, and so on. What could the Blessing of the Life Goddess be?
Of course, it's life.
[Magic Effect: Those hit by this magic will receive the blessing of the Goddess of Life. The abdomen of the blessed will begin to gestate void life, swelling rapidly, and they will experience the feeling of childbirth. The movement speed is reduced by twenty percent, lasting for ten minutes (Note: regardless of gender)]
[Magic Introduction: Children are the best gift from the Mother Goddess of Life!]
The Gift of the Life Goddess—this magic tome in An Su's previous life was known as 'stare and you're pregnant' or 'the water of Daughters' Country.' It was the most cancerous spell in the lineage of the Life Goddess and was even considered a banned card at one point.
The movement speed reduction of twenty percent was acceptable as a debuff, but what is unacceptable is how nauseating the magic is; players used to hate seeing their carefully designed characters with swollen bellies, as if they had been violated by the opponent!
Moreover, male characters also had the same violation!
A male character with a swollen belly, how is that proper?
Of course, An Su wanted this tome of magic, but unfortunately, his magic points were not enough at the moment. He couldn't use it even if he had it.
He could only take it later.
Nevertheless, there was another fairly good magic tome among the intermediate stage books of the Life Goddess system.
An extraordinarily niche magic tome.
He searched through the dazzling array of magic tomes, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.
```
```
Found it!
An Su was in a good mood, this card had not yet been blessed for other believers by the Mother Goddess of Life.
[Magic Name: Bloody Baptism]
The name was hardly friendly, straightforward, and sounded like something Cultists would use.
[Support Type]
[Intermediate Stage (Upgradeable)]
[Magic Point Consumption: 1 point (originally 2)]
[Magic Effect: Can be used twice per week, able to modify the name and the corresponding description of any magic or title of the intermediate stage or below. However, only content can be deleted, no text can be added, and the deleted content must not exceed two-thirds of the original text]
[Magic Description: The Mother Goddess of Life names your child!]
In short, it was a renaming card.
It could change the name of a magic or title, but only by removing text, not adding.
It seemed like a useless magic,
after all, you could only delete, but not entirely.
A blessing of the intermediate stage was precious to ordinary believers, and no one would waste a rare opportunity to choose such a powerless support magic.
Therefore, this magic book was quite unpopular.
But An Su knew the hidden property of this renaming card: it was the only renaming magic book in Entire Hell and it was upgradeable.
In Nether's world, Cultists were rejected and targeted by the entire society; if An Su carried the title of 'Life Sacrificer,' he would probably be chased across the map.
Lying low and developing was the most important.
"Use 'Bloody Baptism' on the title, and remove parts of the title description," An Su thought to himself.
['Novice Life Sacrificer']
[Title Description: So young and yet such a bloody heart, this child must be eliminated, or else he will become a great threat to the Church and a giant of Magic Tao]
An Su pondered how to deceive everyone.
The description removal must not exceed two-thirds of the original content.
Delete 'bloody,' delete 'great threat,' delete 'Magic Tao.'
[Title Description: So young and yet such a heart, this child must be eliminated, or else he will become a giant of the Church]
Good, the title description was sorted.
It looked full of potential.
A smile played on his lips.
As for 'Novice Life Sacrificer,' how to change it... after removing two-thirds, only three characters could be kept.
It had to be changed gracefully and unnoticeably, leaning towards the light, giving off an inspiring and uplifting impression.
Got it.
After a brief thought, An Su made a bold stroke,
[The Newborn].
Newborn! What a precise and elegant adjective, like the newly risen sun, fresh and full of vitality, symbolizing the birth of a new righteous star!
Who could suspect a sun that has just been born? Who could doubt a Newborn?
(Newborn, in chinses
An Su revealed a satisfied smile.
Modification successful, and he could still use Bloody Baptism once this week.
At the same time, there was a bug-like trick to the magic [Bloody Baptism].
That was—
"Use [Bloody Baptism] on the magic [Bloody Baptism]."
Change its very own name!
Bloody Baptism was immediately flagged as Cultist's work upon inspection by Scouting Magic.
Remove 'bloody,' remove 'Mother of Life' from the magic description.
Thus it became—[Magic: Baptism], [Magic Description: The Goddess names your child!]
The magic instantly took on a Holy Light.
