Chapter 3360: Divinity from the Grave

In the darkness not far from that angel corpse, the black coffin gradually became clear, and the hand wearing the bracelet on the edge of the coffin stretched out again.

The white bone fingers pointed at the corpse, and that corpse completely turned into a withered skeleton, but the heart and two eyeballs between the bones still existed. Then, with the golden bracelet on the white bone wrist on the edge of the black coffin vibrating slightly, the angel's corpse fell apart in silence.

The bones, heart, and eyeballs flew in different directions, but the foot bone of the left leg and the lower leg bone connected to it remained in place.

These remaining bones slowly flew toward the black coffin and were grasped by the bone hand wearing the golden bracelet, then the bones all returned to the inside of the black coffin together.

"So, after the Death-Announcing Angel died, it was the 【God of Graves】 who handled its corpse, and He still retained part of the angel's remains?"

The palm covering Xia De's eyes finally moved away, but he still couldn't move, and could only look at the darkness above the coffin.

And the other "corpse" lying beside him was still moving; Xia De soon felt something cold grasp his right hand, and "She" whispering in his ear 【Perceived "Profanity"】 told Xia De what he was being held by; it was the left hand of the skeleton.

Then he heard a faint sound appear in his ear; that sound was hoarse and vague, but so close it was as if something was directly stuck to his ear and speaking—

"You, do you have your heart toward death?"

Xia De knew very well that if he gave an affirmative answer, he would likely get a good reward from this Evil God, but he didn't do that:

"No."

He didn't know when he had recovered the ability to speak:

"My heart is still toward the moon and the night."

The sigh in his ear was like the last sigh of the dead; that sound made Xia De's scalp tingle, and even made his chin itch. But he soon found the reason for his chin itching was Little Mia, who was lying on him, using its tail to sweep his chin, and then Xia De sat up from the pebble-covered shallow beach, feeling the feeling of having a mountain pressing on him just now disappear completely.

In front, the Underworld Moon in the distance of the black water area was still bright, illuminating his face and the white part of Little Mia's orange-white fur, and countless pure white souls in the water area were walking toward the end in flashes.

Xia De stared at that Underworld Moon for a while, letting himself think carefully about the pictures he had just seen and their meaning.

Lying in a coffin with a skull in saint form, and then being covered by the other party's hand, this was not a pleasant experience. Even if it weren't for Xia De being unscathed afterward, the experience just now could even be called terrifying.

But he couldn't complain about anything; after all, the other party really didn't hurt him, but instead gave him the information he needed.

After finally concluding that this Evil God was much friendlier than the "God of Blood-Sucking," he stood up on the shallow beach holding the cat. The extreme spellcasting of the Philosopher's Stone and the continuous fighting had made him physically and mentally exhausted, but standing on the shallow beach looking at that moon at this moment, he had a feeling that he had returned home.

"No, no, my home is 6 Saint-Drelan Square, not this kind of ghost place."

Looking left, right, and behind, neither the god nor the witches were here. And at the edge of this familiar shallow beach, besides that small wooden boat, there was one more dilapidated black coffin this time.

"This is..."

Thus the big and small Hounds poked their heads out of the coffin together; Xia De raised his eyebrows, and when he walked quickly toward the coffin, a long-lost smile appeared on his face:

"You came?"

Sound couldn't be transmitted; it was his soul making a sound, and echoes appeared.

"Woof woof woof!"

The big Hound rarely made its original sound:

"Yes, the witches have all returned to the world of the living. My daughter and I should have walked down, instead of going back with them, so we appeared here."

It climbed the edge of the coffin with its four limbs, then jumped down and stepped on the shallow beach. The little Hound also wanted to come down, but after scratching for a long time with its short limbs, it accidentally fell back into the coffin, but fortunately, it was caught by Xia De in time.

Xia De put the little Hound beside its mother; it ran around Xia De with "woof woof woof~" and then snuggled up to its mother's soul again.

"Thank you for your help, thank you for liberating me and my daughter, may your future be bright. Farewell, sir, thank you for your help along the way."

The big Hound said to Xia De again, and then rubbed its daughter's soul again. The two Hounds then barked "woof woof woof~" at Xia De together, then bypassed the coffin stranded at the edge of the shallow beach, and ran happily onto that black water area.

Xia De stood on the shore and looked out; the figure of a lady he didn't know stood in front of the Underworld Moon with her arms open waiting for the Hounds; that should be the owner of the Hounds, the ancient witch who sealed the "Corpse Tree."

He watched the witch pick up the two Hounds, then bowed to Xia De; the one person and two dogs then turned and walked toward the half-sunk moon.

Xia De sighed lightly, patted Little Mia's head on his shoulder, and then went to see if there was anything else in the coffin:

"They were all sent back, and only threw me here, isn't it because I didn't say my heart is toward death? Really stingy... bones! bones! bones!"

He thought in his heart about the angel's remains he saw in the dark illusion, and when he poked his head to look inside the coffin, there was indeed something inside. But unfortunately, that was not the angel's bones he thought of, but a golden bracelet.

The bright golden bracelet was glowing inside the dim coffin, and its surface was wrapped with pure white rune chains. When Xia De saw it, it slowly floated up from the bottom of the coffin.

At the same time, the golden light became brighter and brighter; it was brilliant light, holy light, orderly light; it wasn't overbearing or dangerous, but exceptionally solemn; it wasn't dazzling, but exceptionally gentle. It's just that in this gentleness, there was a bit of coldness.

The golden light lit up Xia De's shocked face; when it flew out of the coffin and came to a position level with Xia De's chest, even the light of the Underworld Moon in the distance couldn't cover the light of the bracelet.

Xia De already understood what this was; his trembling hand then reached forward, his fingertips passed through the bracelet, then all his fingers, his palm, until the bracelet was worn on his right wrist.

At this moment, it completely turned into golden radiance wrapping around Xia De's wrist, then the "fluid" like golden blood flowing inside the bracelet turned into starlit light and was completely absorbed by the Outsider, becoming his brand-new power.

【Outsider, you have perceived "Profanity."】

【The God of Graves, who is responsible for watching over death, has obtained a new duty in the afterglow of the old days, which is the duty of watching over the large gap of death. He is the King of the Dead, He is the Lord of the Grave, His throne is also His coffin.】

The life ring appeared on this quiet shallow beach involuntarily, and the golden light turned into by the golden bracelet sank into his soul. This was a voluntarily gifted power, and didn't need "Her" to help absorb it.

【Outsider, you have absorbed a drop of divinity from the Old God "God of Graves."】

【Outsider, you have obtained the miracle-Coffin of the Underworld: Life buried into the coffin by you will completely walk toward death; items or special existences sealed into the coffin by you will be temporarily sealed. Corresponds to the "True Death" Spirit Rune.】

【Outsider, your miracle "Guide to Death" has been sublimated, adding effect: Mediumship.】

"Guide to Death" originally could only let Xia De see the memories remaining on the corpse; this promotion could be considered a completion of this miracle.

As for the new miracle "Coffin of the Underworld," it was equivalent to giving Xia De a means to deal with undead creatures. As for its attached "sealing effect," it looked like a lower-tier substitute for "Tree's Kiss."

However, the maze was not something that could be used frequently, but this miracle could be activated at any time. Thinking about it this way, this miracle could also be considered a lower-tier substitute for the sealing effect of 【God's Gift Box】.

"Divinity, ah."

Xia De sighed looking at the Underworld Moon; with this drop of divinity, the number of divinities he currently held reached three. It's just a pity that he didn't obtain a Spirit Rune because of this, but Xia De wasn't greedy either.

The life ring was taken back by him; Xia De felt apologetic for "slandering" that god as stingy just now, and then realized that this was the first time he had obtained divinity in "past" time:

"Won't this cause a time paradox?"

He thought suspiciously, and "She" asked gently:

【Where is this?】

"This is death..."

Xia De blinked, and finally understood:

"Oh, this is a place without the concept of space-time, so it's equivalent to God leaving things here for me to come and take myself, it won't cause a time paradox... so the reason I appeared here instead of returning to the world of the living with Miss Violet and the others is because of this reason."

Reaching out to rub the cat's little head again, he looked at his wrist in its soft "meow" sound.

Although the divinity had been absorbed, the golden bracelet as a container was still there.

This golden bracelet was not that ancient god's divine artifact; Xia De guessed that if he had answered "my heart is toward death" at that time, he might have been able to get that divine artifact... it didn't seem very likely either.

In short, this bracelet was just a container for storing divinity, with the same function as 【God's Gift Box】, the large pearl under Coldwater Port, and the flesh and blood of the Nameless Dragon. It's just that now that the divinity was obtained by Xia De, the bracelet's light became much weaker, but it still looked divine.

This was one of the bracelets once worn by the Old God-【God of Graves】 on his saint body; Xia De understood its effect without anyone explaining, and the effect was quite simple and direct—enhancing the power of undead-type miracle spells.

Although this thing was very good, it wasn't suitable for Xia De; what was suitable for Xia De were accessories like "Moon Tears" that enhanced the power of the moon.

However, he didn't need to consider who he should give this bracelet to, because this was something belonging to the "past," and he couldn't bring it to his own era.
