Chapter 248 "The Beginning" - A Slight Move
(Two chapters combined into one, thank you everyone for your monthly votes)
"Origin" has always been in Raphael's spiritual world and promised to help Raphael.
But Raphael never asked Him for help, because he knew very well that if he sought the “original” help now, he would definitely have to pay it back with interest in the future.
It's better to owe less of this kind of debt.
But this time was different. Raphael could sense that he was no match for the "Starry Night Monster".
If this "Starry Sky Monster" is only below Sequence 1, Raphael could still fight it for a few rounds by deceiving and tricking it, in order to find a chance to break the deadlock.
However, the opponent possesses strength below Sequence 1 and seems to have a terrifying level of power.
This is somewhat similar to Raphael's situation, where the main body is a Sequence 5, and only by using the position of "Dark Lodge" can a frightening image of "Lord of Lust" be created.
The difference is that the "Starry Sky Monster" has the strength of an angel and also has a very high rank.
Fortunately, both sides have similar potential; Raphael's potential is "Dark Lodge," while the opponent's potential seems to be the Old Days.
This allowed Raphael to barely defend against the opponent's attacks, but it was extremely dangerous; if he wasn't careful, Raphael's main body would also be injured.
Therefore, Raphael decisively sought help from "the beginning".
Time seemed to slow down suddenly, and even in the brief intervals between the opponent's attacks, there was enough time for "Initial" to have a conversation with Raphael.
Initially, the question was: "How can I help you?"
Raphael said, "Just drive him away, but it would be best to fight him as the 'Lord of Malevolence'."
"That's easy," "Initial" said. "Relinquish your authority and give me most of the control over your consciousness."
""
"Okay." Raphael readily agreed, but the process of granting the permissions took several seconds to complete because he needed to try it slowly. While granting the permissions, he also needed to maintain constant contact with the "Celestial Venerable" and "God" in the "spiritual world".
Maintaining sufficient deterrence.
Since this is the first time granting permissions to this extent, we need to do it little by little and try it slowly.
Theoretically speaking, it is absolutely impossible for the enemy to wait for Raphael for even a few seconds.
But in reality, Raphael felt that several seconds had passed, yet the people and things outside remained completely still.
The stars on the "star monster's" head had a few "star particles" that swayed slightly, but that was all; they didn't provoke any real counterattack.
He seemed to have noticed the problem with the flow of time, but was powerless to do anything about it.
Finally, Raphael completed the handover of his leadership, and the flow of time returned to normal.
The "Starry Sky Monster" immediately raised its hand, and several stones around it flew up and accelerated instantly, hurtling towards the "Lord of Evil Desires" with a burst of fire.
If there were a physicist here, he would say that the rocks violated the basic laws of physics because they accelerated to the speed of meteorites almost instantaneously, and instruments could not find where the energy used for acceleration came from.
Raphael's final thought was to wave his hand toward the extraordinary power of Sen'er City and Dark Lodge, drawing their attention to Bradel's undead.
The one currently controlling the undead is Raphael from the real world, with the phantom of the "Eye of Illusion" protecting him.
The Pythians had already realized this and began to rush toward Raphael.
If it is merely a phantom of the "Eye of Illusion," it cannot protect Raphael in the real world.
The people of Sen'er City, who were worshipping and praying, saw the "Lord of Evil Desires" wave his hand. Some reacted quickly and went to support the divine messenger, while others did not quite understand and continued to worship.
Regardless of their reaction, in the next second, they all sensed a dramatic change in the aura of the "Lord of Lust".
In an instant, all the saints felt their legs go weak and collapsed to the ground.
Those below the level of demigods fared even worse, prostrating themselves on the ground, many even defecating and urinating.
This is simply a normal reaction of a creature to a terrifying presence. The Lord of Evil Desire remains the Lord of Evil Desire; he has neither grown taller nor fatter, but his figure seems to have become towering and imposing!
Whether in spirit or in body, it has an overwhelming advantage over the surrounding creatures.
Today, Raphael not only underestimated the power of the "Star Monster," but also seriously underestimated the level of the "Original."
The fact that "Initial" took over Raphael's body and used "Initial's" consciousness to mobilize the power of "Dark Lodge" was enough to control the situation.
This is not the posture of the "Initial" period of complete victory; it is only the power that the "Initial" has temporarily shown after gaining a certain degree of control over the "Dark Lodge".
Before entering the Dark Lodge, Raphael initially appeared harmless, though he was indeed quite weak at that time. However, after absorbing a portion of the power of God and the Celestial, and with the Dark Lodge as his source of power, his condition changed completely.
Even Amon's clone in the distance felt immense pressure.
He saw the "Lord of Evil Desires" stand up from his high-backed chair and casually wave his hand, causing the meteorite launched by the "Starry Sky Monster" to fall to the ground.
In the next instant, the Lord of Lust appeared before the Starry Sky Monster. He snapped his fingers and unleashed a vicious curse. The Starry Sky Monster exploded instantly, scattering the flesh and blood of the Dark One across the ground. The Starry Sky Monster was reduced to a spherical starry sky.
The most direct and powerful curse is one that instantly kills the target.
It was clear that the "Starry Sky Sphere" wanted to escape, but the "Lord of Evil Desires" waved his hand, and the "Starry Sky Sphere" appeared in His hand.
The Lord of Evil Desire clenched his fist, and these "star particles" scattered like grains of sand, disappearing into the Lord of Evil Desire's black and illusory palm.
Amon stood there stunned for two or three seconds before he realized: "The Lord of Evil Desires" is so powerful!
Then He wondered why, at the beginning, the "Lord of Evil Desires" seemed so weak.
in the starry sky.
Many of the ancient beings who had been watching Earth seemed to have sensed something and turned their gaze toward a certain spot.
But that place was "the land forsaken by God," where the illusory sky was obscured by dense, dark clouds, and they could see nothing, nothing at all—
I can't hear it.
But they knew very well that something must be happening there.
The "Lord of Evil Desires" returned to his seat, the control of consciousness was handed over, the "Beginning" returned to the spiritual world, and Raphael's consciousness once again became dominant.
"Initially" said to Raphael in the spiritual world: "Alright, the target has been driven away."
Raphael thought to himself: You call this "driving away"?
Raphael never expected that the "Star Monster," which was so troublesome for him, would be crushed in the blink of an eye in the "Initial" moment.
This made Raphael curious about the extent to which the power of the "original" part of his personality had been restored.
However, now is not the time to talk about this. Since "Initially" killed "Starry Night Monster", Raphael can no longer use "Lord of Lust" to deal with it.
Since Raphael was fighting in the form of "Lord of Lust" in the "Initial" battle, if he were to use "Lord of Lust" to fight the enemy again, his power would be less than one-tenth of what it was before, which would be too beneath him!
Thus, the Lord of Malice withdrew his power and took control of Bradel's undead in the Dark Lodge.
In the real world, Raphael, the divine messenger, had also collapsed to the ground when he took over the "Lord of Evil Desires" in the "Initial" moment. Now, he was the first to react, and with the phantom of the "Eye of Illusion," he rushed towards the extraordinary beings of the city-state of Pythia.
Although many people still did not understand what had just happened, the battle resumed immediately. As the two saints from Sen'er City and the saint from Anlu led their men to surround them, the Bitdis people were immediately routed.
The saint who possessed the "Book of Wisdom" immediately gave the order to retreat.
This order can actually be seen as: everyone runs their own way, and whoever gets out is considered lucky.
Therefore, the keeper of the "Book of Wisdom" took as many extraordinary individuals as possible and fled immediately.
Another demigod also used the sealing artifact to successfully enter the spirit world with several extraordinary beings.
However, one demigod was unable to escape and was surrounded and killed by five saints, including the phantom of the "Eye of Illusion".
Without the divine sealing artifact and the demigods, the Pythians were completely destroyed. Even if they scattered and fled, they could not outrun the demigods.
The war turned into a one-sided massacre, which lasted for more than half an hour before it ended.
Whether it's the extraordinary individuals of Sen'er City or the disciples of Dark Lodge, they don't need prisoners; they only need sealing artifacts, extraordinary characteristics, "magic weapons," and "inner cores."
Therefore, there were no prisoners in this battle; they were all transformed into extraordinary traits or sealed artifacts.
Raphael gained much more in the subsequent battles, first acquiring the extraordinary properties of the "Dark One".
This was killed by the "Lord of Evil Desires," so no one will say anything if he takes its traits.
Raphael then targeted the enemy's Sequence 5 or Sequence 6 attacks and killed six enemies in succession. In addition to the extraordinary characteristics, he also seized four Level 2 sealed artifacts.
In the "Forsaken Lands," the possession of sealed artifacts is very high. Sequence 5 players will definitely possess one sealed artifact, and most Sequence 6 players will also have one.
This is also a result of the environment of the "Forsaken Land". There are few resources here to support people, but there are many extraordinary creatures. Moreover, due to the environment, there is a considerable probability that extraordinary beings here will form sealed artifacts after they die.
In other words, the population here is small and will not increase, but the number of sealed items keeps increasing.
Therefore, seals that are relatively scarce in other "two realms" are abundant here, after all, they have accumulated more than two thousand years of experience!
After the extraordinary spoils were collected, Raphael distributed them to Sen'er City and Dark Lodge on the spot. Sen'er City received an extraordinary trait at the Saint level, while Dark Lodge received a Level 1 sealed artifact.
As for the spoils of war below the Saint level, both sides had quite a lot.
Each disciple of the Dark Pavilion received an average of four "inner cores" and one "magic weapon".
This achievement greatly excited them all.
After the extraordinary spoils were divided up, the "low-sequence" extraordinary beings of Sen'er City began collecting the corpses of their enemies and transporting them back into the city, where they found a high-quality source of protein.
So after everyone rested for half a day, Sen'er City first made a sacrifice to the "Lord of Evil Desires". As for the sacrifice, it was the Saint-level extraordinary characteristic that had been captured.
After learning about this, the disciples of Dark Pavilion became somewhat hesitant, wondering whether they should also sacrifice the Level 1 sealed artifact they had just obtained.
They were relieved when Raphael told them that all the spoils belonged to them.
The situation of the disciples of Dark Lodge is not quite the same as that of Sen'er City. Without the help of the "Lord of Evil Desire", Sen'er City would definitely have been massacred this time, so it is not excessive for them to sacrifice anything.
However, the disciples of Dark Lodge were considered reinforcements, and Raphael had previously agreed with the "Master of Dark Lodge" that all the spoils of war would belong to them.
However, to express their gratitude to the "Lord of Evil Desires," the disciples of Dark Lodge carefully selected a level 2 sealed artifact and asked Raphael to sacrifice it to the "Lord of Evil Desires."
This time Raphael did not refuse.
After the sacrifice was completed, the city of Sen'er organized a bonfire banquet, inviting the divine messenger Raphael and the disciples of the Dark Lodge to attend, and serving them the fattest parts of the Pythians.
They certainly didn't have much of an appetite, and the female disciple Xin Wanqing almost vomited.
So while the people of Sen'er City danced and sang around the flames and devoured their spoils, Raphael and the disciples of Dark Lodge were munching on biscuits and canned food.
Raphael saw several children staring at the "delicious" food on the table in front of him—the fatty parts, not the cookies—and beckoned to them, sharing the cooked offal and roasted "pork belly" with them.
As a "demon", Raphael also felt he couldn't eat these things.
After seeing Raphael's actions, Xin Wanqing and the others also shared their "delicious food" with the children who were watching them longingly.
Duan Ze'en, the leader of the Dark Lodge disciples, ordered, "When we leave, we will leave all the food behind."
The disciples of the Dark Pavilion around them replied in unison, "Yes."
Because there is no distinction between day and night here, Raphael and the others did not know when the bonfire party ended. In any case, the people of Sen'er City danced and sang for a long time until they were exhausted.
For them, this was not only a celebration of victory, but also a celebration of surviving a catastrophe!
Out of basic courtesy, Duan Ze'en and the other disciples of the Dark Pavilion waited until the celebration in Sen'er City ended before bidding farewell to Speaker Harden and Priest Zede.
Harden and the other high-ranking officials of Sener City were also very happy, but they were not so tired as to play until they were exhausted. So after exchanging some polite words, Zeder consulted with the divine messenger Raphael and then went to set up the ceremony to send off the friendly forces.
The top officials of Sener City were all present, and they wanted to express their gratitude. Duan Ze'en and others also had many questions to ask, but since there was only one translator, Raphael, in the end, only Harden and Duan Ze'en, the two leaders, exchanged polite words.
After the ceremony began, seven disciples of the Dark Lodge came to the altar, while the others stood solemnly, and only Zede's devout prayers could be heard in the entire hall.
The Lord of Evil Desires responded to the ritual and took away seven disciples of the Dark Lodge. Everyone praised the Lord of Evil Desires, and Zede ended the ritual.
At this moment, Speaker Harden cautiously asked Raphael, "My lord, may I ask—may the people of Sen'er City, besides devoutly believing in the Lord of Evil Desire, what else must they do to leave the land forsaken by God with the Lord's help?"
Raphael glanced at the cautious saint, pondered for a moment, and said, "You must become useful."
