Chapter 322: Ascension (Please Subscribe)

Plymouth, Speech Square.

Within the History Mist, images of the pyramid's peak flashed by like fleeting shadows.

Arthur VI gazed at the "God of Suffering" in the midst of ascension, a trace of heartfelt envy appearing on his face.

Then, he saw that Evil Spirit seated high upon the throne, mouth agape with absolutely no regal bearing: "Who is that? An avatar of 'Dawn'?"

"No... that seems to be... an 'Evil Spirit'?" Duke Alge said, speaking words he himself did not believe.

A mere Fourth Primordial Substance existence, what right did it have to sit upon a throne representing a Deity?

Many also revealed looks of relief and liberation—the "God of Suffering" was dead, the "Blood Covenant Law" that bound them was finally undone, and immediately, many raised their hands and shouted loudly: "I surrender!"

Darkness of Depravity, Red of Longing, Underworld of Coldness, Shadow of Dreams, Tower of Wisdom, Pupa of Stubbornness, and Secret of History...

"What is going on?"

But the pure white flames of the "Maker" were different after all, barely able to melt Non-human Relics and burn out pure Spirituality.

"Ah!"

As long as one found a way to steal a sliver of power, it would basically be equivalent to obtaining the effect of a blessing from "Dawn".

Arthur VI overturned his own thoughts: "An 'Immortal' is merely a Seventh Primordial Substance; Deities are at the very least great existences who have fully unlocked the Ten Primordial Qualities, or even surpassed the constraints of the Primordial Qualities... In the Mortal World, perhaps through careful layout and preparation, an 'Immortal' could barely resist the phantom of a descending Deity... but that is the Spirit World! The Spirit World where a Deity's strength can be fully unleashed! How could the 'God of Suffering', who received the blessings of two Deities, possibly fail?"

'Originally, bringing my body into the Spirit World was in preparation to run away directly if the situation looked bad... utilizing the special nature of "Spirit World Teleportation" to transport myself to a place even I don't know!'

The difference was, before it hadn't detonated, but at this moment, it had detonated itself!

This moment was destined to be remembered by many, and at the same time, leave a vivid mark in the "Secret History"!

Over ten thousand gazes were drawn by the explosion, seeing that human figure after the smoke settled!

The requirement for the "Furnace" ritual was to ascend under the gaze of ten thousand people!

The edge of Speech Square.

The evil cultists on the square saw this scene as if they were seeing the end of the world collapsing.

The "Evil Spirit" Auclair Sotos grabbed the post-mortem remains of the "God of Suffering" with one hand and the broken "Sun King's Spear" with the other, returning to his body abruptly at the speed of an "Evil Spirit".

Immediately, he ended the state of "Evil Spirit Possession", completely allowing spirit and flesh to become one.

Around the originally chaotic square, a building suddenly exploded, walls collapsing to reveal a room.

Duke Alge muttered.

The pyramid.

He was an Extraordinary of pure "Light", and suddenly having seven other types of Spirituality added to his body, all coming from a powerful Fourth Primordial Substance existence, was practically the same as swallowing seven bombs.

Ordinary Third Primordial Substance flames were completely helpless against seven Non-human Relics of different natures.

A large, chaotic crowd immediately had their gazes drawn.

Then, his eyes opened, a trace of solemnity appearing.

According to his lowest-level plan, after seizing the "Sun King's Broken Spear" and the remains of the "God of Suffering", he could completely lie low for a period of time and find another opportunity to ascend!

After all, the "Sun King's Spear" contained the blood of the Deity "Dawn".

Of course, because he was not a "Shadowless One" and could not pinpoint the location accurately, such teleportation was very dangerous, even more dangerous than Mr. Halsey's daily routine!

But Aaron felt he could try his luck.

"Unless... the Hidden Existence behind that Green Forest Earl has made a move!" the Royal Family's "Alchemist" added: "The only thing that can stop a Deity is another Deity!"

A look of pain appeared on his face, yet he still fished out a Talisman and chanted in Spirit World Language: "Open!"

Boom!

"But now? The operation to kill the 'God of Suffering' went quite smoothly... and atop the pyramid, there is also the blessing of 'Dawn'. Most crucially... They are still entangled!"

What happened next made them even harder to understand.

Aaron groaned in pain.

Plus the surrounding Guard, Military Intelligence Department special agents, and pedestrians who had rushed over...

Pure white flames burned on Aaron's body, as if he wanted to use the "Maker's" ability to completely melt the seven spiritual relics within his body.

Inside the Safe House.

"The 'God of Suffering', who received the blessings of two Deities, failed to ascend just because an 'Evil Spirit' did not allow it... Who exactly is it?"

Aaron raised his head, looking up at the firmament.

The pure white radiance and the pitch-black Night Curtain were still intertwined, but he suddenly felt two grand wills, like the eyes of giant dragons, coldly sweeping over.

The seven Non-human Relics were swallowed into Aaron's belly, feeling as if he had swallowed seven different iron blocks, each carrying its own temperature and sensation.

There were originally fifty thousand people in Speech Square, and even excluding the evil cultists, there were still tens of thousands left.

This was to avoid unexpected situations such as this event being a trap, or a Deity descending directly onto Speech Square and discovering his hiding place.

Aaron did not hesitate, returning to the Mortal World, his figure disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"It's time to start..."

The face on the metal castle was silent for a moment, then slowly opened its mouth to answer: "If I am not mistaken, that Evil Spirit should be 'Auclair Sotos', who appeared in the Sotos Ruins! I have seen the Memory Bottle specifically extracted by Xisituosi..."

The Spirit World.

Arthur VI let out a long breath: "This 'Worldly Immortal' also laid out pieces in this event?"

His shadow was twisting, his thoughts were filled with countless inspirations, and even around his body, wisps of History Mist were entwining...

As the former number one of the Mysterious, many mystery experts believed that behind the Green Forest Earl at that time, there was definitely the support of a powerful Deity!

In that Sotos Ruins, 'Auclair' was ultimately manipulated by that 'Immortal' to make a move, so it's not strange at all for this to happen now... as if!

"No!"

Aaron muttered a word, opened the "Carnivore's Bag", took out the Non-human Relics one by one, and swallowed them directly.

And no matter what, the scheme for the "God of Suffering" to ascend to "Immortal" had failed completely because of a single sentence from a certain existence!

Piece by piece, the pitch-black bricks shattered; this great miracle architecture of the Spirit World was crumbling to pieces.

Aaron let out a miserable scream, his eyes turned pitch-black, and his muscles and blood vessels were all rampaging and swelling... beneath his skin, it was as if countless insects were surging...

"Sotos Ruins... 'Immortal'... Green Forest Earl... Aaron Sotos!"

Aaron's figure slowly emerged.

In more distant areas, the surviving rats, cockroaches, and other small Animals in the ruins were dying inexplicably...

The second update is delayed, apologies...
