Chapter 1254: The Corruption of the Pope (Part 1)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Theisio’s physical body had already been melted away. His soul was in the Rough Stone of Darkness, resting in the Bramble Crown. Although the Bramble Crown had been damaged by Saleen, it was still a powerful godly item. It was thanks to the Bramble Crown that Theisio had dared to give up his body.

The silver ball of lightning had actually entered inside the Rough Stone of Darkness and headed straight for the Bramble Crown.

Within the Rough Stone of Darkness, the God Grace Staff had opened up a place to contain the three godly items. Theisio had received the stone and had used it to tempt two oracles who had betrayed the gods and bring them back. The quality of the Rough Stone of Darkness had been tested by Theisio many times and there had never been any means to destroy it. Even the Seal of Divine Power could not create the slightest scratch on its surface.

Originally Theisio had thought that it was impossible for the Rough Stone of Darkness to suffer any damage. Now he felt some panic, and he hurriedly manipulated the Seal of Divine Power to resist against the lightning’s attack.

The ball of lightning melted into the Seal of Divine Power. A shrill howling erupted from the Seal of Divine Power.

The ball of lightning vanished. Theisio felt a bit of the brand deep in his soul had been erased. Saleen’s attack had actually caused him to lose his responsiveness towards the Seal of Divine Power.

If his physical body was still around, it would not mean much. He would have been able to recover his control in an hour. However, now only his soul that was hidden within the Bramble Crown was remaining, so he could no longer summon the Seal of Divine Power again.

Of course, there was no way for Saleen to perceive the changes in the Rough Stone of Darkness. He was checking his Thunder Dragon Blaster. The hovering magic array was still between the thunder dragon’s two horns. It was just temporarily unable to solidify a ball of lightning.

Saleen was disappointed. The skill was not able to attack consecutively, but it was good that the lightning icicles could still be used.

Saleen hardened his heart and retrieved the water element god’s divine persona, tossing it between the thunder dragon’s two horns. Then, he used his 360,000,000 lightning runes to begin refining it.

Saleen was a wastrel. If the water element god’s divine persona was given to a powerful mage to refine, they would be able to refine a godly item that was at least at level 16. The godly item would allow the might of all of Saleen’s water element magic spells to increase and would reduce the magic chord consumption to the lowest levels permitted by theory.

The godly item would be able to store water element magic spells and save the level 16 ones. Saleen was just letting the divine persona store a ball of lightning.

He had no means to change the various properties of the divine persona. He could only use its special trait of being difficult to destroy to refine a magic array on top to contain the ball of lightning.

Saleen had not even used 0.01% of the divine persona’s effectiveness.

However, Saleen was satisfied. The Thunder Dragon Blaster would be able to shoot out two balls of lightning. Lightning magic was his future. No divine persona would be able to replace it!

Theisio’s Seal of Divine Power had been damaged by Saleen, and he felt somewhat despondent. What was wrong with him? If he had not hidden and used the three godly items in a decisive battle, Saleen would not have been able to take advantage of him.

“Saleen, why?” Theisio summoned the Dark God of Destruction.

“What do you mean why?”

“Why do you want to establish Nature City? Why do you want to revive Myers!”

“Because, I am thoroughly pissed off by the Holy See!” Saleen’s voice spread out from the phantasms’ mouths, sounding hollow.

Saleen would never tell Theisio about the contract. He was reviving the Goddess because he had no choice.

“You are a mage. Why would you ever want to revive a god!”

“Treat it as me training myself.” Saleen was not willing to give Theisio a satisfactory answer. The speed at which Theisio summoned the gods was becoming slower and slower. Theisio’s power would eventually be completed exhausted. Saleen could already see the dawn of victory.

The Holy See had been established for 1,000 years in name only. In reality, it had been hidden on the Myers Continent for more than 6,000 years. The cumulation of thousands of years had actually lost to Saleen.

Saleen was a true nouveau riche. The materials for his equipment had basically all originated from the Goddess’ temples. He had been blessed with the luck of the Goddess. Hence, although Saleen’s journey had been fraught with danger, but he had always been able to make a miraculous comeback.

The Goddess had arranged for a grand spectacle. She wanted to revive when the Myers Continent was regaining its power. Her fortune would increase sharply. The Lord of Glory would be immersed in a war with numerous gods and would not be able to mind the Myers Continent.

The humans and gods were engaged in a long battle. Gods level 16 and above almost went extinct. The ones who were fortunate enough to survive did not dare to slack off even the tiniest bit. The strong humans had not completely disappeared either. Some even had the possibility of being revived. The gods went on reciprocal conquests for the sake of increasing their own power.

If a level 15 god wanted to advance to level 16, it was not known how many hundreds of millions of years it would take. For humans, it was way too fast. It caused the gods to feel jealous and terrified.

The Lord of Glory had gone through the battles at the beginning. He was fully aware that if he did not make the most of his time, even if the humans only had a slim chance of revival, he would be reduced to a slave.

The Crown of Glory was refined by 18 kings of gods. Predictably, once the greedy humans developed, they would cause a great disaster to fall upon the gods. The Lord of Glory did not intend for his divine persona to become a human accessory, so he frantically increased his strength and coveted the Myers Continent.

The gods did not want to differentiate between who was right or wrong, or who was just or evil. Everyone was doing it for the sake of survival. Becoming an unparalleled existence was the only choice.

Saleen was not anxious. Theisio was already mourning as if he was dead. If it had not been Saleen and his followers who had surrounded and killed him, things would not have gone to that extent.

Forget it. Forget it!

Theisio was already in a soul state and could not shed tears. He simply went into the Crown of Glory, bowed to the ball of white radiance in the crown. “My God, my Father, forgive me. I have become corrupted and can no longer preach. Please don’t redeem my soul…”

The ball of white light seemed to understand Theisio’s words. There was an intense tremor. However, under Theisio’s determination, his soul flew out of the Bramble Crown and flew directly to the centre of the Rough Stone of Darkness.

The centre of the stone had a narrow space. The space had been hurriedly opened and was only about 100 meters across. A pile of bones had sunken into the middle of the space. The bones had already broken up, and there were hundreds of metallic armor leaves besides them.

Theisio did not overthink, he pounced on the skeleton, sending his soul into it.

A black mist was suddenly given off. The armor scattered on the floor and reassembled a step before the skeleton. The pile of bones automatically restored itself with a crack.

The black mist was absorbed into the bones, and blood, flesh, and skin grew on the bones. The bones had miraculously changed after Theisio had attached himself to it.

“Saleen!” The skeleton stood and roared loudly towards the sky. The skeleton shook violently once again, as if it was enduring boundless pain.

The armor assembled itself. Long and sharp stingers grew out. They pierced through the armor and gathered together. Theisio’s voice was grieved and angered. He cursed loudly, and saw the third arm below his ribs.

He was no longer human!

The pile of bones was the original body of the Dark God of Destruction. After becoming a god, the body had become useless and was sent into the Rough Stone of Darkness by the Dark God of Destruction as a memento. Now that the skeleton was being occupied by Theisio and divine power was poured into it, it caused Theisio tremendous pain.

The flesh that had grown on his body had darkness property.

Finally, Theisio could not bear the pain and no longer resisted. He allowed the third arm below his ribs to grow flesh. The snake skeleton in its hands grew. The writhing snake’s eyes were pitch-black. It wound around Theisio’s body, using its tongue to sniff his scent.

Its memories were in pieces. The snake only remembered that its master had become a god, after that, it could no longer remember anything.

“Master!” The great snake transmitted a piece of information to Theisio.

“Hm?”

“Your weapon is…”

Theisio raised his hand. From a narrow space in the Rough Stone of Darkness, a warhammer and a square shield flew to his hands. The Rough Stone of Darkness was like an egg where the Dark God of Destruction was incubating. There were so many miraculous things that Theisio could not grasp them all.

“Master, you must absorb sufficient darkness. Otherwise, we will be dispelled by the light.” The great snake reminded its master. It had detected that its master was muddled and could not control the power of darkness.

“I’ve got it.” Theisio allowed the dark mist to permeate his body, modifying his body to become stronger and stronger.

The strength was foregin. There was not a shred of similarity with the things that Theisio had mastered before.

Originally, the skeleton was only about two meters tall. After absorbing the darkness force, it grew to about 6 meters. The weapons in Theisio’s hands grew accordingly and absorbed the dark mist.

The pain disappeared. Theisio knew that he had become completely corrupted and could no longer return to the Lord of Glory’s side. However, the corruption had brought Theisio an endless amount of delight.

The feeling of delight was hard to describe in words, it was like…

It was like the first time he had basked in god’s favor, that feeling of when holy light had shone upon his soul.

So corruption…was like that!

Originally, Theisio had advanced to level 11. After he had obtained the body, he felt that his power had strengthened even further. Corruption brought power to a person. No wonder the God of Purgatory had wanted to betray the Lord of Glory.

The feeling of himself being a master was so good!

It was the first time in his life that Theisio could make decisions for himself. Originally he had wanted to borrow the body of the Dark God of Destruction to make Saleen die with him. Now, his feelings had changed. He did not want to continue fighting with Saleen. Instead, he wanted to find a place where nobody would find him and analyze the power of darkness.
