Chapter 3836 A Demigod Bestowed by God
No matter how dangerous the battle below the cliff may be, it cannot stop the center of the world from arriving at this high cliff, between Shad and the old god standing in the center of the square - [Mr. Misfortune].
A gust of wind swept across Shad's face, carrying away a glimmer of golden light. Golden cracks appeared from his right eye, then gradually spread all over his body, until even the hem of Shad's clothes shimmered in the wind.
He gazed at the evil god standing in the dim light of the storm, but did not immediately ignite his divinity:
"God, may I ask a question—in the past, divine descents were always accompanied by various world-shaking phenomena, so why did your appearance this time occur so silently?"
Shad didn't even see the cultists setting up the descent ritual. Because he had made an agreement with the evil god for this descent, he didn't put in any extra effort to stop the cultists' possible preparations. But until just now, no ring sorcerers with faith misfortune had come here.
"With the apocalypse upon us, order and rules are severely damaged, so divine intervention will no longer be so troublesome."
The sound carried on the wind answered the question, but when Shad understood the words, he felt as if he hadn't heard a sound at all.
Then he understood—
The gods high above have the ability to enter the material world at any time, but in order to prevent the powerful force of their descent from directly damaging the world, they need conditions such as descent rituals and objects of possession.
This is especially true in the Sixth Age, where the fragility of the world has led the five true gods to refrain from descending unless absolutely necessary.
In the current state of the Ruins of Destiny, with the power of the serpent already disrupting order and rules, and given the presence of a place like the Oracle Square, the appearance of this ancient god no longer requires such complicated preconditions.
Shad even suspected that even the [Cult of Misfortune] might not know that their god had appeared here tonight.
The stranger, whose body was covered in golden cracks, then said:
"Since you know about the Doomsday Serpent, why don't you go and deal with it first? I'm definitely not leaving here."
The faceless deity in the square responded:
"The snake is the great enemy that Mr. Ring left for the chosen ones. You and I are outside the stage, so why are you interfering in what is happening on the stage?"
Shad hadn't expected this evil god to do anything, so he didn't say anything more about it.
"So, what brings you here today?"
The figure in the square stopped talking to Xia De. In the silence, Xia De suddenly heard his heart beating faster than ever before. He then realized that if he didn't act soon, he would probably die.
"Disregarding martial ethics, you actually ambushed me—ignite your divinity!"
He stared directly at the black figure that had appeared before him in the dim light of the day, and at that moment, it was as if the whole world had been paused. Shad only heard "her" gentle murmur:
【So.】
"You are me~"
I am you, my dear stranger.
In the wind, silver light drifted backward from behind Shad, like long silver hair dancing in the wind. His body floated upward, leaving the ground, and the golden liquid in his soul silently dissipated. Soul and body were elevated to a dimension beyond the comprehension of mortals, and the world became completely different in Shad's eyes.
The dark object flying towards them collided with the light emanating from that great power and was instantly frozen in mid-air. The figure in the silver moonlight saw that the flying object was clearly half a chessboard.
Hey~
A silver beam of light descended from the heavens, piercing the dim yellow light and the swirling yellow sand, and fell straight down towards the cliffs high above the ruins. The hymn to the moon resounded once more in the material world, and at this moment, whether it was the serpents and ring-bearers in the battlefield of the ruins, or any being on Fatumunst Island and in Falling Star Bay, all looked up at the night sky.
In the night sky, which was tinged with a dim yellow hue, starlight painted a deep blue area, and in that deep blue radiance, the huge silver moon seemed to be suspended on the top of the snow-capped mountain.
Although no one can see what is happening high up on the cliff, even if one's eyes are gouged out, one's ears are pierced, and one's nose is blocked, one can still sense two forces that are almost equivalent to the world itself colliding on the cliff.
The contact between the two did not cause any earth-shattering effects; simply, the world became different because of them.
This wasn't the first time the "Summoner" had summoned a god, so those on the battlefield immediately recognized it as a divine descent. Luvia, who was fighting the snake, immediately paled, knowing that their intervention would likely be needed soon. Violet, Chloe, and Adele of the Past, all distracted by the snake, looked towards the cliff, their expressions remarkably similar:
"Is it a summoning of God, or his own doing?"
Others initially thought the caller was summoning a deity to fight the Doomsday Serpent, but then another black pillar of light fell from the starry sky, and a strange hymn played at that moment, clearly telling people that there was a second deity here.
And that obscure and ambiguous quality, yet seemingly possessing a power that brings misfortune to everything, is clearly—
"The God of Misfortune?! Is He trying to help His believers?"
Miss Eden's expression changed drastically; she couldn't understand why this deity would appear at this moment. The true gods had given a divine decree that the gods would not appear in the grand symphony of the "Whispering Poems." Even the moon goddess summoned by many evil gods and "callers" in the past had never directly helped the chosen ones—except when the callers saved the world.
But the appearance of God will never change because of the thoughts of mortals. After the two beams of light fell on the cliff above, the sacred and obscure hymns gathered together, praising the moon and praising misfortune.
The yellowish-brown night sky changed color because of their appearance; the deep blue starry sky belonged to the moon goddess, while the illusory silver, like quicksilver, belonged to the god of misfortune.
Furthermore, the apocalyptic, dim power did not dissipate with the appearance of the gods. Deep blue, silver, and dim yellow light mingled together in the night sky, initially resembling an abstract painting. However, if one continued to gaze at the night sky, the chaotic starry sea containing the mysteries of gods and the apocalypse would be enough to drive any mortal mad.
The gods have not yet fully revealed themselves, but the mere contact of their powers has already distorted the rules of the world. However, the most direct impact of the divine descent and the "summoning of gods" on the desert battlefield is not the change in the starry sky above everyone's heads or the suppression of the serpent's outward spreading power.
Suddenly, several silver streaks of light appeared on the battlefield. The right arms of Galina, Vanessa, and the Butterfly Girl (note), the foreheads of Chloe and the former Adele, and the white cat fur of Mia, who was standing on Ellie's back, all lit up with the glow of the "Moon Mark".
As the moon's reflection lit up, unimaginable power surged into the girls' bodies and souls, as if phantoms of silver flames were swirling around them. The surge in power was secondary; they clearly felt Shad embracing their souls, as if the world were blessing them at that moment.
The demigods Adele and Chloe, who were already at the pinnacle of the material world, felt this power most clearly. They clearly felt their existence being elevated once again. The immense power, which they could not comprehend, even made them somewhat unable to control it.
The metamorphosed serpent standing atop the yellow sand whispered a name that should absolutely never appear in this era:
"A demigod bestowed by God!"
The other demigod present, the blonde Violet, glanced at the other two and immediately realized that someone had "jumped the gun." Luvia, who also possessed a moon mark, but which was located in an indescribable area, had her entire body transformed into the color of moonlight.
She received more power than anyone else at the moment of Shad's "ascension to godhood," and the moonlight even completely repaired the cracks in the [Fool's] ring in her hand. In the pure moonlight, the purple-eyed girl's hair had grown to almost waist-length, and standing with the three demigods, no one could tell whether she was stronger or the demigod witches were stronger.
But Luvia wasn't excited about it; instead, she remained alert, ready to make her final plans at any moment.
The Night Watchman was no longer in Adelina's hands. After the Butterfly Wing returned, she snatched the sword and threw it to Luvia, then sent Adelina back to the ship. The little princess was extremely excited, but Lacia was determined to have a good talk with Luvia about this later.
"So Luvia is really good at fighting! I never thought..."
Back on the Radiant Messenger, the little princess stood on the deck and looked down, saying, "The ship is flying over the mountain ruins, and directly below is the tower of the Space Witch who came to the Peak of Destiny through 'authority'."
The combined power of the ship and the tower, along with the ice castle summoned by Winnie floating faintly in the air, formed a shield that blocked some of the yellow sand blowing towards the cities and towns in the south of the island.
Sylvia, inside the tower, also felt the power emanating from the moon seal at the moment Shad ascended to godhood. At this moment, she was constantly moving all the ring-bearers within the island's range into the rings that the unicorns had run out of at the edge of the battlefield.
As for the ice castle, because Winnie received the power bestowed upon her by Lady White, the power it was releasing at this moment was in no way weaker than that of Sylvia's tower.
The large ship, in its battle-ready state, resembled a living weapon. Miss Eliza stood on the deck, watching Miss Violet, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, on the battlefield, while Granny Cassandra, who had also come to the deck, stood smiling beside Adelina:
"Luvia."
The old witch said nothing, but looked worriedly at the starry sky. The battlefield in the ruins had been temporarily reversed due to the appearance of the gods, and high above, there was another battlefield that did not belong to mortals.
PS: Sylvia is not on the battlefield, she is in the tower; Sylvia and Megan are by the sea, and Daniste is at the foot of the mountain, so they are not mentioned here.
