Whispering Verse

After a moment of trance, it was like waking up from a big dream.

Shade sat on the main seat of the banquet hall and stood up in the dark banquet hall that returned to normal. The bloody smell of the living sacrifices did not dissipate because of the departure of the evil god. But the blood mist disappeared, and even the body behind him disappeared, as if that moment of tenderness was just an illusion when he was about to die.

"Did you really show up?"

he asked in a daze.

[The door to transcendence has been pushed open by you, and the road to sublimation is now unfolding. Stranger, you have discovered a special path to ascension, you have gained a drop of divinity. 】

On the life ring that slowly disappeared behind him, the brass-colored ring was wrapped with an imperceptible golden flash.

"What is the use?"

Shade stared at the silent banquet hall. The moonlight poured in from the window, fell at his feet, and fell on the remains of the living sacrifices on the ground.

[Information obtained from divinity. 】

[Every time you are promoted, use a drop of divinity to wash away the spiritual runes corresponding to the words of sublimation. When you advance to the thirteenth ring, if you complete the washing of the twelve spiritual runes corresponding to the three sublimation words, then recite those words of sublimation that belong to you, you will be promoted to a god. 】

It was obviously something that was unimaginable, but Xia De was surprisingly not too excited:

"Can everyone do this?"

he asked in his mind.

[No, you are special. No mortal soul but yours is strong enough to withstand the power of divinity. 】

"Did you just appear?"

[The power of divinity allowed me to possess a physical entity for a moment. That ring gave me the possibility of absorbing the power of the evil god for a moment. Of course, He will also watch you for this, which is something to be wary of. 】

"Will you always be by my side?"

【certainly. 】

In this dead silence, Shade walked to the back of the banquet hall, opened the door and came to the third floor terrace. The blood mist dissipated in the evening breeze, but the courtyard of Lakeview Manor was already in chaos. He felt that at this moment, he had unprecedented power.

“What else does divinity do?”

[Using the life ring burning divine power as a consumable, you can temporarily transform into a god and obtain a short-term "divine burning" state. You are not a god, but you are as good as any god. 】

Shade was silent and looked at the courtyard of Lakeview Manor. The blood mist that spread in the courtyard dissipated, and people were still lying on the ground. In the center of the manor courtyard, the long tables were scattered. Two teams of ring warlocks from the Zhengshen Church were fighting against a middle-aged man with silver eyes. The middle-aged man was protecting the "lasso" that had just seriously injured Schneider and the other three. Mrs. Ya".

Shade on the third floor terrace murmured to himself:

"The Silver Eyed One of [Mercury Blood], he came to help that guy. But I think there is no need to use divinity for the sake of mortals."

[Within ten minutes of acquiring divinity, due to the slight overflow of divine power, you have an almost immortal body and an almost infinite spirit. However, once you use the overflow power, you will fall into a long coma. This is "divine power". "sexual overflow" status. 】

[While holding divinity, the power of divinity is blocked in the life ring, and the dissipated glow will keep you in a state of 'divine afterglow'. During this period, any thaumaturgy, spell, or ritual used will be strengthened. 】

"It turns out that this is the afterglow of God that the old god said... So, my next mission in this life is to travel through the past and present time and space, just to collect twelve drops of divinity? For you? ?for me?"

[There is no task, everything is up to you. Stranger, you are outside your destiny. 】

The nine-sided brass life ring behind the silver-eyed man showed his power. A team of more than twenty ring warlocks surrounded him, but no one could get close.

The brilliance of mercury appeared behind the silver-eyed person, and with the full exertion of thaumaturgy, the huge mercury giant appeared. It holds up the person with silver eyes and the wheel of life, standing on the dirt of the courtyard.

The power of thaumaturgy prevented people from getting close, but the young girl with long brown hair, Iluna Bayas, was brave enough to stand in front of the injured to protect her companions. Shade saw her, and she suddenly looked up and saw the masked stranger on the third floor terrace.

"So who is she?"

[You should ask your friend Anat, not me. But obviously, even if there is a so-called protagonist in this world, it will not be you. Outsiders, no one can interfere with the choices of people outside their destiny, but the audience of the story cannot become the protagonist. 】

"With the path to the sublimation of the Twelve Divinities, I don't want to be a troublesome chosen one. But are you an old god with the Silver Moon Priesthood? Are you the Witch Emperor of Silver Moon in the Fifth Era? Choose me. Is it so that I can help you when I become a god? This is my last inquiry."

[No, I am you. 】

Shade nodded, accepting that the other person was with him.

Standing on the terrace, he took out a frog leg, rolled it with his fingers while reciting an awkward incantation, and used the spell "Leap of the Frog".

Then with a light jump, he jumped from the third floor terrace to the roof of the mansion, standing under the bright starry sky, next to the stone statue on the roof.

Everyone in the courtyard also noticed the young man under the starry sky. He was at a high place, bathed in the light of three full moons, but only the light of the silver moon seemed to be draped on his body.

Shade's whisper sounded at this time, and the overflowing power of divinity and the memory of the silver moon dream not long ago prompted the [Silver Moon] spirit rune to perform a magic spell [Moon Shadow's Illusion].

At this moment, the silver moon in the sky seemed to be separated from the other two moons. The silver moon disk grew larger and larger until it appeared behind him, as if shining through his head and emitting light from his right eye. At the same time, Shade's figure standing on the roof in front of the silver moon was reduced to a blurry black shadow.

Shade once again recalled the dream of the silver moon just now, and thought of the traces of the silver moon's light in the night sky.

He put his feet together, raised his hands slightly by his side, and jumped into the night sky with a light jump.

The huge silver moon hung high in the sky. Shade's body turned in front of the silver moon wheel. When the body came to the center of the silver moon, he just raised his arms flatly, with his head down and his feet up, hanging upside down in front of the silver moon. Under the sea of ​​stars.

As the body fell, the left foot with the silver moonlight slid forward, driving the right foot downward to follow.

Shade was hanging upside down in front of the silver moon. There was only a black shadow in front of the silver moon, but his feet drew bright and gorgeous silver light traces in the air. The dazzling light traces separated from the tracks of the feet and gradually grew larger in the night sky.

Breaking through the night sky and splitting open this quiet summer night, under the stars, the slash of silver moonlight fell towards the courtyard of Lakeview Manor like a falling Bailian.

"This is......"

The color of the moonlight made people lose their minds for a moment, and everyone's face was sprinkled with silver light.

The church ring warlock team that besieged the silver-eyed man pulled the unconscious guests around to retreat. The mercury giant turned his huge body, raised his arms, and was evaporated by the gorgeous silver moon brilliance without any resistance.

The silver-eyed person who was backfired by the thaumaturgy vomited blood and dropped "Mrs. Lasoya" to dodge. "Ms. Lasoya" who had no idea about the current situation was also evaporated by the moonlight, and the white pebbles ring fell below. soil of.

The gorgeous silver moonlight finally fell to the ground, leaving permanent moon marks on the ground of the manor courtyard in the earthquake that shook almost the entire southern suburb of Tobesk.

The figure disappeared into the air, and Shade fell to the terrace on the third floor. This time he really fell into a coma.

Miss Anat stretched out her hand and dragged him back into the shadow of the terrace, away from the sight of the Orthodox Church, and then pulled him back to the banquet hall on the third floor where the corpses of living sacrifices were piled.

The awakened Priest Augustus is taking care of Dr. Schneider and Miss Louisa who are still unconscious. Apart from his pale face, he seems to have completely recovered.

"Does he really believe that we will take him away in time?"

The lady with purple eyes looked at the detective's sleeping face and whispered, she was the only one who was not seriously injured tonight.

"Detective Hamilton is actually a young man who trusts others easily. He is too young and has just woken up from his blindness and ignorance. He still lacks a lot of life experience, which I will teach him in the future, but the detective is indeed a good person."

The pale-faced Priest August shook his head and said. His face recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he hesitated:

"That Silver Moon slash just now..."

"We all have secrets, don't we, Priest Augustus? Just like you, no matter how injured you are, you can always recover."

Miss Anat said, looking at the sleeping young detective with twinkling eyes:

"For example, my prophecies have always shown that there will never be a fifth person in our group. He comes from outside destiny."

"Let's go quickly. You take the three of them and I'll stop the church's ring warlock team."

The old man said tiredly:

"Today, I am really lucky that you finally destroyed the ritual node and prevented the evil god from coming to our world. Anat, you saved the world again."

"Yes, I did destroy the node, but..."

Miss Anat, who has short brown hair and purple eyes, looked at Shade, but before she succeeded, the shadow of the evil god had already partially appeared. Although it was only three seconds, in front of a god who can distort time and space, three seconds may not be three seconds. .

"It was his good luck that he persisted in front of the Shadow of the Evil God for three seconds, allowing me to completely destroy the ritual."

Shaking his head and preparing to leave, Priest Augustus straightened his clothes and looked at the messy banquet hall:

"I have a hunch that this is definitely not the end."

The moonlight shone from the window, casting the priest's huge shadow onto the wall of the banquet hall. The shadow swayed, as if a pair of wings were flashing behind the shadow.

Miss Anat's purple eyes were glowing slightly. She looked at Shade's face tenderly, as if talking to herself:

"Priest, this is just the starting point. The epic of the Sixth Age has begun."
