443. Agent of the God of War
When Emily wakes up, she finds that Sean is the only one left in the Hall of the God of War, and the blonde man named Andrew is gone.
After Shaun saw that Emily fainted because she couldn't withstand the powerful stimulation of the awakening of the bloodline, he kept watch by his side to prevent any other accidents. At this time, when she saw Emily wake up, she smiled and said, "Wake up." ”
Emily nodded, and she found that her clothes were soaked with sweat, and the clothes were all close to her body, which showed off her graceful figure. A feeling of shame of being naked instantly made Emily's face turn red, like a ripe fruit.
She hurriedly reached out to cover her breasts, but she didn't know that this action had made her breasts fuller.
Sean coughed lightly, then turned his back to Emily and casually took a long cloak from the storage ring and tossed it to Emily. He hadn't thought about this before, and in fact he hadn't thought about it, but he didn't expect Emily to subconsciously make such a move after waking up, which made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.
However, Sean obviously noticed that after Emily's bloodline awakened, her figure seemed to have changed somewhat.
"Good...... Okay......" Emily's voice was soft, obviously very embarrassed.
"Ahem." Sean coughed to hide the embarrassment and ambiguity just now, "What are your plans next?" ”
"Me?" Emily was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know. …… Lord Sean. Don't you want me to become a god? ”
"That's just my idea, but I'm not going to impose it on you." Sean looked at Emily. Then he said, "You still have a choice." You can continue to be your saint, and I promise that no one will dare to trouble you again. …… But ......"
"But?" Emily was a little confused.
"But once you choose to become a god, then your future may be very difficult." Sean stretched out his right hand, and in the palm of his hand was the bright red crystal, and inside the crystal, Marts's soul was still tirelessly rushing left and right, "If you want to become a god, take this crystal with you." But I have to remind you from the moment you took this crystal with you. You will have to endure resentment and mental harassment from Marz all the time, and if one day you can't bear it anymore, then your soul and will will be corrupted by Marz and become his puppet. ”
"What about you? Why is it unaffected? Emily didn't immediately go to get the crystal, but looked at Sean and asked with a puzzled expression.
This attitude made Sean feel a little relieved.
If Emily hadn't asked anything and had taken the Divine Crystal, then Sean would have really had to watch out for Emily. To be honest, he has some guilt for Emily. So he is willing to make amends to Emily for this, such as helping her build her own power and have stronger strength, but this does not mean that if Emily betrays her one day. He could choose to remain indifferent or forgive her.
Of course, if that day really exists, maybe Emily is no longer the Emily in front of her.
"Because I'm a God Stealer." Sean said in a deep voice. "The biggest gap between a god stealer and a god slayer is that I can steal a word from a god. Let their fall become unaware, and they can even continue to assume the name of the gods. …… Of course. If you want to talk about the harvest, in fact, the harvest of the god slayer will be greater, because the person who has killed the god will have a deeper understanding and cognition of the nature of the world, and of course, it will also have a more powerful deterrent momentum. ”
Emily was still confused.
"Forget it, explain this to you, you probably can't understand it now." Sean shook his head, then smiled bitterly, "I can provide you with a very safe method of becoming a god, but the process may be relatively long, it may take more than ten years or even decades. But this method is better than you can easily succeed the one that Marz has now established, and there is no danger of being attacked by other gods. ”
"And the only thing I need to do is to withstand the resentment and mental harassment of Marz?" Emily asked in a deep voice.
Sean nodded.
"Can I give it a try?" Emily asked.
"Absolutely." Sean said, "But I don't mind if you hold it directly in your hand, you can touch it first." ”
Hearing Sean say this, Emily's heart suddenly became a little more nervous.
But after taking a few deep breaths, Emily stared intently at the divine crystal, and then reached out and gently touched the crystal with her right index finger. The touch was a little cool, but as Emily reached out and touched it, the feel was no different from normal crystal minerals. Of course, Emily didn't feel the horror that Sean was talking about, so she raised her head and looked at Sean with some confusion.
But at this moment of slight distraction, a terrifying whistling sound exploded directly in her mind, as if countless howling banshees were emitting piercing screams. Emily's face turned pale suddenly, two nosebleeds flowed directly from her nostrils, and the whole person was more like she had been hit head-on by an invisible force, and after taking more than ten steps backwards one after another, she was finally able to stabilize her body and not fall to the ground.
It's just that Emily's expression is obviously very ugly, and her spirit is in a state of extreme malaise and exhaustion.
"This ......" Emily looked at Sean with some horror in her eyes.
"And that's just the beginning." Sean said lightly, "The longer you carry this crystal, the more manic the Marz imprisoned inside will become, and eventually become an evil spirit-like being." At that time, the mental pressure you need to endure will be ten or a hundred times that of now. ”
"Then what if one day, I finally can't bear it anymore and choose to give up wanting to return this crystal to you?"
Emily's voice was a little weak. It seems that the mental shock of that moment just now had too deep an impact on her, but this is also a very normal thing. After all, Emily's current strength is not strong, it is just the Golden Realm. And Marz's mental coercion is the willpower of a super strong, Emily didn't faint at that moment just now, it was already her bloodline talent at work.
"Then your efforts over the past few days are likely to be in vain." Sean thought for a moment, and then said, "Every day you hold this divine crystal, the power of faith generated by all the Marz believers will gather into your hands, and you can use it to quickly improve your strength." So as to make yourself more powerful. …… However, this qiē is not your property until you officially succeed Marz, so you must use this divine crystal stone to maintain this strength, once you return this crystal to me, it is equivalent to giving up this qiē, and your strength will dissipate at a very fast speed. ”
"So if that's the case, will I still be able to regain my strength through guò self-training?"
"I can't." Sean shook his head and said with a little regret. "It's a shortcut with no turning back. Once you give it up, then you will no longer be able to recover your strength, and you will even lose your strength because of this, and you will directly return to the Silver Realm. …… But once you finally stick to it. Then you can become a god of high divine power, completely replacing the one qiē of Marz. ”
"I see." Emily nodded, "Give me this stone." ”
"Do you really want to take it?" Sean was a little surprised. "Do you think you can really stand the mental shock you just had?"
"I don't have a choice, do I?" Emily smiled at Sean. Her face was very pale, so her smile looked extraordinarily weak. But inexplicably, there is a very unique delicate beauty, "In the entire God of War Church, you have no one to trust except me." ”
"With this crystal stone in my hand, you can still disguise yourself as the Holy Maiden of the God of War Church, and there will never be a new pope from now on......"
This time, before Sean could finish speaking, Emily interrupted Sean.
She shook her head slightly, then looked at Sean very seriously and strictly, and said word by word: "If there are no miracles for a long time, and believers cannot communicate with the gods, the cohesion of the God of War Church will be reduced, and it will even lead to the collapse of the Northern Duchy Federation." …… I don't know what you want the God of War Church and the Northern Duchy Federation to do, but I'm sure you definitely don't want a Northern Duchy Federation that is completely disintegrated, so...... Only I can help you with this. ”
"But......," Sean was about to say.
Emily shook her head to stop: "To be honest, it was probably just a deal between us at first. So even if Muru really did something to me that day, I was not in a position to resent you, and of course I might regret the deal with you...... But anyway, you saved me later, and that look in your eyes also shows that you feel indebted to me, but in fact you don't owe me anything, and the first thing is just a deal, isn't it? …… So from that moment on, I made a decision that my destiny would be in my own hands. ”
Sean opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"So, I need strength." Emily said in a deep voice, "And if I could help you in my quest for power, then I would be more than happy to do so." …… For me, it's just a matter of having to endure the chatter of another unlucky guy every day, and the benefits I get are real, so I don't have anything to lose, do I? …… If one day I really can't hold on, then it's just my overestimation and blind confidence in my own strength. ”
Hearing Emily say these words, the corners of Sean's mouth lifted slightly, and then smiled: "I can't talk about you." …… However, if there is a day, I will also make sure that you are taken care of, and no one will hurt you. ”
"That's what you said." Emily smiled slightly, then walked up to Sean and reached out to pick up the divine crystal without hesitation.
In just an instant, Emily's face was as pale as paper, and the color of blood completely faded in an instant.
When she really grasped this divine crystal, Emily realized that this kind of spiritual impact was completely different from the moment of contact just now. In her mind, there were endless shouts and roars from Marz, as if countless thunderbolts were exploding wildly, almost stirring her brain into a mess. In particular, the strong coercion that constantly emanated from the divine crystal directly affected the surrounding space, as if there was an endless pressure constantly squeezing, as if it was about to crush her body.
But the more this happened, the more Emily was unwilling to admit defeat, and instead held the divine crystal tightly, as if to vent all the pressure and anger on the crystal. She only knew that if she couldn't even hold this level, then she would have the face to say that she was going to complete this for Sean, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.
I don't know how long it took, but at least for Emily, it seemed like it had been several years, and finally a warmth came from the side, driving away the coercion and mental shock formed by Marz, so that Emily was finally able to breathe.
She glanced sideways at Sean, who was supporting her, smiled weakly, and said, "Thank you." ”
"Is it really okay?" Sean frowned, still a little worried in his eyes.
Whether Emily becomes a god or not doesn't affect his plans, as long as Emily continues to serve as her saint here. Although he said that he wanted Emily to become a god, he actually helped Emily prepare another path to godhood, of course, this would be much more difficult, because to make Emily start from scratch is equivalent to re-experiencing the qiē that Marz experienced when she became a god.
It's just that this won't be now, at least after he settles the matter of the Duchy of Rumbell.
At that time, whether the Northern Duchy Federation still exists is actually not important to Sean. So at that time, even if Marz's will is erased and Marz's kingdom falls, it doesn't matter. It's just that he didn't expect that Emily would choose this seemingly shortcut, but in fact, it is a very torturous path to godhood - of course, this path to godhood is indeed much easier than starting from scratch.
"It's fine." Emily shook her head, her expression still very strong, "You said that with my current status, can I call myself an agent of the God of War?" ”
"Absolutely." Sean chuckled and said, "...... Congratulations, you've become an agent of the god of war. ”
Emily smiled and nodded sincerely, with a joy in her eyes that no one could understand: "Thank you!" (To be continued......)
