Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Chapter 56 Completion of the Lost Ritual (2/2)

In fact, most people, upon sensing the gaze of the divine, would lose any thoughts of betrayal they might have harbored, dissipated like smoke before fear.

“`

“Return to reality, you have completed the Lost Ritual in the Spirit Realm.”

After speaking, Priestess Irene reached out and tapped Grandma Narda’s forehead before drawing the mysterious symbol of “Transformation” in the shape of the moon, and said,

“Awake.”

Grandma Narda felt as if she had been in a long dream and took a while to gradually awaken from the deep, hallucinatory state.

She opened her eyes and saw Priestess Irene and Mr. Byrne kneeling on the ground and the great sacred object on the altar.

Grandma Narda couldn’t help but glance at the black light contained within the sacred object, and she suddenly felt a boundless fear. She felt as if everything around her had lost its luster, and all things were gradually fading into destruction.

It was a state utterly different from the demolished black-and-white city she had reached after passing through the Gate of Shadow, even the sounds seemed to wither.

She immediately knelt down in fear and began to murmur to herself.

Meanwhile, Irene was devoutly praising the Lord of the Lost, celebrating the completion of the Lost Ritual.

“Ah, praise You, great Lord of the Lost! Please grant us new power!”

After completing her prayers, she slowly rose and moved to a corner of the basement to retrieve a prepared bottle of spectral blue elixir.

This spectral blue potion, concocted with Spectral Blue Fish Fin, should give anyone who takes it the extraordinary power of the Path of Divine Sacrifice in theory.

Byrne took a deep breath, watching as Irene handed the magic potion to the excited old woman.

The greatest weapon of the Fischer family’s arsenal was their ability to grant others the power of becoming Extraordinary Exponents.

However, the principles of “caution” and “secrecy” made them feel that if a person not of their bloodline could not be controlled, then it was better not to endow them with extraordinary power lightly.

Through years of research and the Lost Ritual, the Fischer family came upon the possibility to control lower-tier Extraordinary Exponents. They had to seize this opportunity.

Grandma Narda drank the potion and soon felt an intense dizziness in her mind, almost collapsing, but she managed to steady herself.

“I feel, I feel a different world…”

Irene subconsciously wanted to help her, but she knew she had to maintain the dignity of a priestess and could not be too casual during the ritual.

So she just watched everything happen with an expressionless face.

At last, Grandma Narda stepped onto the God Pantheon stairway, the Path of Divine Sacrifice.

Like Irene before her, she attained the Power of Consecution of the 1st Rank, “Attendee,” and gained the Extraordinary traits of God Worshiping and Malice Perception.

The strengthening of her Spirituality made her mind clearer, and the physical improvement was like regaining a youthful vigor of more than a decade. Grandma Narda became incredibly excited!

“My body feels like it has returned to when I was fifty years old, how miraculous, hahaha! Great Lord of the Lost, I am willing to offer everything! You are my true redemption, my dominion!”

She knelt down fervently, and Irene and Byrne exchanged glances, realizing that even if the Lost Ritual had not controlled Grandma Narda, it likely wouldn’t be an issue anymore.

Because the old woman, now endowed with extraordinary power, was devout to the great Lord of the Lost!

A thought suddenly emerged in the depths of Irene’s heart.

What if they attempted to control more Extraordinary Exponents with the Lost Ritual?

Not those later given the magic potion, but those who were already Extraordinary Exponents.

However, entering the Spirit Realm and going through the entire process of the Gate of Shadow almost always required the cooperation of the other party; it wasn’t as simple as forcing a potion down someone’s throat.

She shook her head, thinking that due to the principle of “caution,” it still wasn’t something they could do.

After all, even if someone completes the Lost Ritual, if they decided to betray, and were not afraid of the gaze of the Lord of the Lost, but instead surmised that the Lord could not easily intervene, then ultimately, it would still be difficult to handle.

“Daybreak” must first draw the individual’s heart closer to the Lord of the Lost, foster a certain level of loyalty, and let them make significant contributions. Then, they could be led to the Spirit Realm to undergo the Lost Ritual.

She remembered the children in the Daybreak Orphanage and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

“I think, the grand light of the Lord of the Lost will eventually cover the entire East Coast.”
