Chapter 177: The Rotten Man's God-Becoming Ceremony
Who said that information can only be obtained from Benjamin?
Klaus knows a lot of things.
The way to clear this quest is to kill all the betrayers.
Basically...... It's about killing everyone except Benjamin and Don Juan Gerante, and John. Although Annan did see a very small number of "loyal ministers" at the time of the week, they were too few.
And in the second week, they all died from an unknown AOE from Benjamin.
If they all die cleanly, so will Klaus...... The dungeon was forced to clear the customs.
Annan could no longer go to Benjamin to ask those questions.
- Annan, however, did not intend to leave Klaus's life to be questioned in detail.
Because he's too dangerous.
After seeing so many transcendentals, Annan fully understood how dangerous a silver-level transcendent was.
The bronze rank of Kani can become so powerful after turning into a demon...... The strength is far beyond that of ordinary bronze-level transcendents. And the last time Annan cleared this dungeon, in the end, Klaus was desperate, and he also took the initiative to activate the curse and try to demonize it.
This is probably why Benjamin was so nervous at the time and asked Don Juan to freeze him to death quickly.
Once Klaus has really completed his demonization, silver-level wizards who can't cast spells (especially transformation wizards) really won't be able to beat him.
So the most correct choice is...... As soon as he finds an opportunity, he immediately backstabs and kills Klaus.
Until then, keep some "spark of betrayal" alive. Let them evacuate in the cabin in advance.
This will ensure that you can kill Klaus without completing the quest.
So Annan wanted to ask Klaus about the topic......
It was necessary to ask all the questions before meeting Benjamin.
What kind of identity should Annan choose for himself?
First of all, it is certain that Klaus is also a believer in the Rotten Church and a subordinate of the Third Prince—and that the Third Prince may not have known that he is related to the Rotten Church.
First of all, neither the "eldest princess" nor the "king" will work.
If he intends to betray Don Juan Gerante's side, then Annan's position is clearly lower than that of Klaus. Everything is the same as last week's event.
And if Annan claims to be a member of the Rotten Husband Church or the Third Prince, then it is inconvenient for Annan to inquire about the news.
- There is only one faction that can suppress Klaus.
That's the Skeleton Male.
They apparently knew from the beginning that the Skeleton Male himself had been in Frozen Water Harbor.
That's why Klaus and his party didn't dare to stay - they ran away directly after getting off the boat. It may not even have reached the frozen water port, and fled directly in a small boat.
Because they know that the relationship between the Skeleton Gong and the rotten man is obviously not very good.
It's like the skeleton duke came over and hinted at Annan's information about the rotten man...... The Rotten Man is obviously reluctant to provoke the Rotten Man, but the Skeleton Male is actively looking for trouble with the Rotten Man.
"I suppose you might be going to get off the boat in a moment?"
Annan smiled slightly: "Don't come to Frozen Water Port...... Sit and watch? ”
He saw very clearly that a frightened expression suddenly appeared on the face of the head of the guard, Klaus.
Klaus was visibly taken aback by the answer.
His gaze flickered suddenly.
Then he took half a step back with some hesitation, looked at Annan with some suspicion, and asked in a low voice: "You asked me if I was from His Royal Highness the Third Prince...... Do what? ”
"It's because I want to tell you that our next conversation has nothing to do with those two."
Annan said with a smile: "It's just a matter of the mortal world." Don't overcomplicate it......"
He meant something.
Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Klaus's back.
…… He actually knows that I am from the Rotten Church of the Rotter?
This is a secret that even the third prince does not know!
Their Rotten Church had just been evacuated from the Duchy of Winter. is preparing to transfer to the Noah Kingdom, and is still infiltrating the direct royal family......
- And the skeleton man's side, has he actually gotten this information?
"That sir, do you know about this?"
Klaus asked respectfully.
Annan nodded solemnly.
"John's" honest face gradually appeared a little indifferent and rational light: "Lord Skeleton, I knew your purpose from the beginning. Whether it's the rotten man trying to complete his Immortal Ritual, or what you're doing in the Duchy of Winter, we all know that.
"—that's why he sent me into this man's body."
The "Rite of the Immortals" is the information that Annan saw about the rotten man from the book.
The rotten man, in fact, is not a complete god.
According to the book, "He is the same as the Bone Father," a god who has not fully grasped the truth.
According to the general path of soul promotion, only when you have obtained a complete fragment of truth and formed your own book of truth, can you try to perform an ascension ceremony and become a true god.
As for the boundary between false gods and true gods, it is not so clear. The only difference between a false god and a true god is that the true god has a "human form...... Even the true God has his own shelter month.
After all, there is no such plane as the "Star Realm" or the "God Realm" in this world, and the essence of the gods still exists in the human world.
Since there is a material entity that can be seen and touched, there is naturally an extremely small probability that it will fall.
And the true God, in His Month of Protection, can radiate his power beyond the whole world...... It is to be resurrected when the month of sanctuary comes.
In other words, only the true God of this world is completely immortal.
But the situation of the rotten man and the skeleton man is not the same.
When they became gods, they were not given the Book of Truth.
The Skeleton Father presumably sacrificed the corpses of the whole nation through ritual and obtained a provisional truth. In other words, all he received was a temporary priesthood. As soon as that ritual is broken and stalled for some reason, the truth through which He became a god will dissipate with it.
The situation of the rotten man is very similar to that of the skeleton man.
He was a real eunuch before he became a god.
At the same time, he was also a powerful "alchemist".
That is, the transformation of wizards.
His spell allowed him to complete the "transformation of life".
That is, to transfer the life of a blood relative to another person.
So he continued to perform forbidden rituals for his king, transferring the life span of his children and grandchildren to him.
At the same time, he performed another ritual -
He transferred the king's bloodline to newborns across the country by means of "drawing blood for newborns".
With the secret support of the old king, he completed this compound ceremony through the secret service led by himself, and unknowingly.
But at the last moment, the rotten man can be said to have betrayed his king...... It can also be said that there is none.
Because of these lifespans, it still cannot reverse the body of the aging king.
So the rotten man destroyed the Great Barrier and sent the gray mist across the country—a huge curse that soaked into the people of the country. With the people of the whole country as a purifier, through the relationship of blood, the curse poured into his king body with infinite vitality.
Yes...... At first, he wanted to imitate the rituals of the Skeleton Gong and make his king a god with an infinite lifespan. And he and the rest of his people will be reborn again with the power of the "immortal god".
His plan is still very good.
But the king was furious at this.
He personally executed the rotten man who was loyal to him and had grown up with him.
It's just that what the rotten man didn't expect was.
The king was not angry that "the whole nation died because of this wicked plan...... Rather, he was angry that he had "destroyed the barrier and destroyed the land that had been passed down from generation to generation."
But because the ritual was not really completed, the king had not yet received the provisional truth. These curses accelerated his lifespan depletion, and he eventually died seven days later.
And through the connected bloodlines, a huge amount of curse and life force poured into the rotten man's corpse, bringing his rotting corpse back to life.
He was originally intended to form in him the temporary truth of "immortality" and "no queen" based on the rituals used by the king.
In the end, the rotten man who never thought of becoming a god became a god.
But he feels good.
There is no thought of resurrecting the king......
He could only repeat this ritual six more times before he could complete his true ascension ritual.
In this way, His temporary truth can be solidified and become a true God.
The advantage of the Rotten Man over Bone Gong is that he does not have a ritual base that can be physically destroyed - although the Bone Lord's ritual base is not easy to destroy in his former land, in the depths of the gray mist.
But the strength of the rotten man is also far weaker than that of the skeleton man.
Because he's strictly speaking...... It's only one in seven gods. That's why he's so active......
- Of course, this is information at the time of writing.
Now that the rotten man has completed a few sevenths of the way, it is not necessarily.
