God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Chapter 63: Tracking Blood Fang, Instinctual Avatar Awakening

[While flying, you activated your presence concealment and invisibility to avoid detection, using your usual precautions.]

[As you flew toward your destination, you also constructed your alternate identity as Linley Sinclair, known as the Phantom Reaper.]

[Using your identity distortion ability, you planned to integrate into society under that name.]

[Upon arriving on the continent, you targeted a wealthy man, using your identity distortion ability to bend his will and make him your subordinate.]

[With his influence, you secured a stay at a luxurious hotel, setting up a temporary residence.]

[With a base of operations in place, you turned your attention to tracking Blood Fang.]

[You logged into the Avatar Task Site, searching through the recent updates.]

[Blood Fang was a notorious figure, and his activities had caught the attention of many bounty hunters and avatar masters. There were several reports of his movements, though none were recent.]

[Your eyes scanned the site, looking for any clues to his whereabouts. If Blood Fang was still on this continent, it would only be a matter of time before you found him.]

[Sure enough, after several days of careful tracking, you finally managed to locate Blood Fang.]

[You had already left your hotel, moving silently through the city as you followed him. Using your invisibility and presence concealment, you ensured that Blood Fang remained oblivious to your presence.]

[Unlike in previous simulations, you were keeping a low profile in this one. Despite being a Zenith Avatar Master who had absorbed four celestial crystals and even eliminated the Death Envoy and Truth Keeper, you were still a nobody in the avatar world.]

[You didn't care about fame. After all, the world would reset after your death anyway.]

[Your focus remained on tracking and eliminating Blood Fang, and you planned to do so swiftly and silently. You didn't want to attract unwanted attention before you reached Celestial Avatar Master status.]

[You were confident that with your power, you could survive even a nuclear explosion if needed. By integrating all of your tentacles into your body or wrapping yourself in a protective cocoon of tentacles, you could shield yourself from most attacks.]

["You see, I don't just kill," Blood Fang taunted, his grin widening. "I like to... take my time. Make sure your screams arouse me."]

[Kyle's heart raced as panic surged through him. His body trembled, the raw fear almost paralyzing him.]

[Suddenly, something inside Kyle snapped.]

[Perhaps it was the primal fear of death, or maybe it was pure survival instinct, but in that moment, something awakened within him.]

[A blinding white light burst forth, and a translucent barrier formed around Kyle, blocking Blood Fang's incoming attack.]

[It was an avatar—Kyle had just awakened his avatar, the Guardian Barrier. A domain-category instinct-type avatar, it granted him the ability to summon a powerful barrier for protection.]

[Blood Fang staggered back, momentarily surprised. "Hmph, an instinctual awakening?" he sneered, his tone dripping with disdain. "No matter. A newborn avatar is still no match for me."]

[With a swift motion, Blood Fang's crimson dagger slashed through the air, shattering Kyle's barrier with ease.]

[The white barrier crumbled like glass, and Kyle stood defenseless once more, fear evident in his eyes.]

[Blood Fang chuckled darkly, stepping forward to deliver the final blow, his dagger aimed directly at Kyle's throat.]

[Just as Blood Fang was about to deliver the final blow to Kyle, you, who had been silently observing, made your move.]

[With a swift, almost imperceptible motion, you summoned your invisible tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Blood Fang's body. The serial killer froze in place, his dagger mere inches from Kyle's throat.]

[From Kyle's perspective, it looked as if Blood Fang had been stopped mid-attack, as though something had seized him in that critical moment. His mind raced, trying to comprehend what had just saved him.]

["W-what... just happened?" Kyle stammered, still trembling with fear.]

[You stepped forward, still invisible, though you allowed your voice to be heard. "I've taken care of it. You're safe now."]
