706 Divine Favor (2/2)
”Ah! I've recovered!”
An average soldier looked at the disappearing scales on his hand and showed a joyful look while deeply bowing to the surrounding pastors and bishops. ”Thank you for your favor, Life Goddess!”
”You can leave.”
An archbishop wearing a long robe with vine decorations on the sides of his shirt waved his hand and let this test subject leave while staring attentively at the infant inside the cradle. ”Really… unbelievable!”
”After verification, the ability of this infant can dispel the powers of the Evil Demons in the bodies of all the ordinary people within range of the temple. It's the same for professionals, but if it's divinity, three days is required. The stronger the divinity, the longer the time required. This is the true power of purification!”
”Not only that, those who were enhanced by the power would retain most of it, even keeping their body qualities and capabilities!”
”This is a real Son of God! The Son of Salvation!”
The bishops discussed among themselves.
Kaboom!
Suddenly, holy white light flickered inside the church.
A strong will descended, and the God's statue seemed to come alive, transforming into an emerald green body and causing the pastors to all kneel.
”Lady!”
She had aquamarine long hair, and her eyes were full of the vitality of life. She was one of the Nine Pillar Gods, Life Goddess Venus.
Giggle.
The Goddess went to the cradle. Once Heim saw her, he instantly released an innocent smile and let out a giggle.
”In the name of a God, you shall become the Son of Salvation of the world!”
Venus bent down and lightly kissed the infant's forehead. ”Bless you, my child. You will definitely mature to confront the evil forces that infiltrate the world!”
Whoosh!
A stream of water appeared in the air, immediately wrapping the infant.
”This is… the Water of Life?”
The hearts of the bishops and pastors greatly trembled.
Even at their level, when they occasionally received a gift from the Goddess, it was only a few drops. However, there were millions of drops here. It formed a water ball and completely wrapped the cradle within.
The infant inside instantly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye and took on the appearance of a twenty year old youth.
According to the guidance of destiny, the newly born Son of the World must immediately mature to face the challenges of the evil forces!
The Life Goddess glanced at young Heim one last time as her body exploded into bits of aquamarine lights and disappeared.
”Argh… Argh…”
At the moment, Young Heim was still naked as he struggled to stand up. Suddenly, he slipped and fell flat on his face..
”Thank you for your favor, Goddess!”
The bishop's face twitched, but he also knew that that youth was just a white sheet of paper and his intelligence was not lacking. He would become like a normal person with some slight guidance. He nodded, and quickly, two pastors walked forward holding a long robe and gave it to the youth to cover his shame.
This extent of divine favor…
The other bishops looked at this scene as they contemplated…
…
”Lord!”
Somewhere in a secret dark room, believers wearing black robes were walking toward a God's statue to prostrate.
They could see that the dark red glow enveloping the God's statue that very similar Jay.
As the newly ascended Death God, he had concealed himself very deeply during this period.
On one hand, he had to digest the gains from killing a God. On the other, he had to hide from the pursuit of the Gods.
An ordinary person, a Son of Purgatory, had actually killed one of the Nine Pillar Gods?
As Jay's reputation had spread throughout the Monger World, he was intensely hated by many Gods.
Furthermore, it was not only the Gods. Even the other Sons of Purgatory were frantically investigating his whereabouts.
After all, Jay had already been in the lead for too long. If those Sons of Purgatory were unable to combine forces and annihilate him while he was weak, they would definitely be completely defeated.
Thus, until now, even though Jay had already recovered, he was still afraid of meeting people with his true body.
”Very good, my believers!”
A bright light swivelled and the God's statue casually opened its mouth. ”I want you to go to the central region! Find a pastor of the Sun God Ramon there for me! This is his information…”
”Your will is our destiny!”
The Evil God believers bowed and accepted the oracle.
A glow flickered on the God's statue and then instantly disappeared with a flash.
However, within the believers, a youth with a pale face puffed his lips in scorn. ”Sending messages using part of his soul again? He's so careful… only that the Sun God pastor in the central region…”
He seemed to have thought of something, and his body trembled suddenly. ”Is… this lunatic Jay still planning to fight Ramon? That's right, even for the Supreme God, he still has to use his true body and descend into the mortal world…”
The weird look on the youth obviously attracted attention as a believer asked him strangely, ”Drizzt, what happened?”
Suddenly, his brain dropped out and blood gushed out like a fountain.
The youth laughed weirdly, licking the fresh blood on the dagger. ”Since Jay is unwilling to appear, then I can only kill all of you first…”
