God’s Descent can take many forms.
The most superior form is through a vessel or an incarnation.
The next best is by transferring divine power.
There was a time when the Black Death Society had summoned the power of Lady Moon, directly shattering the Tower Spirit’s defences of Green Tree Castle.
This time, Polon used children with high inspiration as vessels, hoping to defeat Sean with the power transmitted from Lady Moon, and even advance directly to the sixth level!
“What should we do?”
Isaac had no solution for the situation.
He could only watch helplessly as Sean’s undead army was retreating, and saw the faces of the children becoming increasingly pale due to the overuse of inspiration.
The last ‘Divine Descent Curse’, Beryl was used as the vessel by the Black Death Society.
Now, without such a ‘suitable’ vessel, they had to use a large number of children with high inspiration as alternatives. Still, the effect was not as good as before, and the damage brought to the vessels was devastating.
Isaac didn’t doubt that once the ritual ended, not a single one of those children would survive!
“It’s simple… just interrupt the ritual.”
Su Lu looked at the black pyramid, a complex light flickering in his eyes, and voluntarily withdrew his ‘concealment’.
Isaac and Hallock, a man and a dog, instantly appeared in the centre of the battlefield, under the gaze of all the Black Dead Followers.
“Go through, use the symbol on this paper to reverse the ritual of the pyramid.”
Su Lu gave a slight smile, handed the symbol depicting the ‘Endless Ring’, ‘Spirit Ring’, and that is, his own ‘divine information’, into Isaac’s hand, and gently pushed him forward.
Quite unconsciously, Isaac moved forward several steps towards the pyramid.
Strangely enough, he was not affected by the divine chanting at all!
On the contrary, the Black Dead Followers were lying on the ground due to divine awe, unable to move.
The only one capable of action, Polon, was held back by Sean, allowing Isaac to accomplish this almost impossible miracle.
“Green?”
Around the pyramid, he saw a nine-year-old boy, the missing child from Bogelie Town.
At this moment, the boy had a fierce expression, chanting a horrific ballad, suddenly turned his head, and looked at him.
Even with the high-level ‘Protection’ around him, Isaac’s head was still spinning, about to explode.
In front of him appeared visions of black, green and purple figures, as if an invisible door was opened in the void, with all kinds of unknown terror squirming within.
‘Indeed… the impact of God…’
‘No…just a trace of projection breath is making me like this?’
‘Why am I still alive?’
Various thoughts surfaced in Isaac’s mind.
According to his understanding, he should have died when he was enveloped by the power of the ritual.
—This was actually because he had protection granted by Su Lu.
Only a divine being can confront another divine being!
‘No matter what… I must… disrupt… the ritual…’
Isaac struggled, his fourth-level body seemed to have become that of a dying old man, staggering a few steps and slowly reaching the edge of the black pyramid.
‘Every… step forward… the pressure becomes even more terrifying… Divine awe is like a prison.’
Isaac gasped heavily, feeling like he would collapse at any moment.
‘I can’t… I need to disrupt the ritual… where is Sean?… Why hasn’t he taken action?’
‘No… Perhaps he is the one helping me share this mystery…’
By expending every bit of his energy, Isaac moved one step further and saw a staircase in front of the black pyramid.
The steps made of obsidian, with primitive and complex patterns, as if recounting some indescribable horror, brewing death.
‘Move up… open up… the mysterious symbol…’
Isaac’s eyes were full of light.
Just then, he saw Green stop chanting and walk over calmly, extending both hands and giving a gentle push.
Bam!
Isaac toppled backward in astonishment, landing squarely on his rear.
‘I … was … knocked over by a child?’
He chuckled softly to himself, looking at the “human wall” in front of him. He knew that even an ordinary adult could easily break through it, but under these strange circumstances, he was weaker than a child.
‘I’m … going to … fail …’
Just then, a black figure darted out from beside him, snatched the drawing with the mysterious symbol from his hand, and ran towards the child-formed ‘obstacle’.
“Is … is that Hallock?! How can he run so fast?”
Isaac stared wide-eyed as his dog dashed past the children, sprinting up the black steps, reached the top of the pyramid, and let out a roar: “Roar … Woof woof!”
It opened its mouth, and the piece of paper depicting the ‘Spirit Ring’ fell, landing at the top of the pyramid.
Hum!
In that instant, the singing that filled the scene abruptly ceased.
The children’s eyes rolled back, and they passed out.
Atop the black pyramid, streaks of black liquid flowed in the opposite direction, aiming straight for topmost Hallock!
“What … is this?”
Isaac murmured unconsciously.
“It’s quite simple … I disrupted the ritual, or rather … I changed the vessel for the Goddess’ power.”
Su Lu, who had somehow come to his side, chuckled softly.
“The vessel is … Hallock? It’s not going to get hurt, right?”
Isaac anxiously watched the Erha at the top of the pyramid.
At that moment, its blue eyes were deep, its body inflated, cracks appeared on its surface, and complex mystical patterns emerged from within.
“Don’t worry … it won’t be affected by Lady Moon, think of it as … an exhibition by the [Blasphemous Priest] …”
The corrupted ‘Fifth Level Profession’ could steal the divine’s radiance and strength to enhance itself.
Of course, Isaac had heard of this.
Then he saw Su Lu’s mischievous look. “After this ritual, Hallock might even be promoted to Legendary … if you can’t keep up, those miserable old times …”
“No …”
Isaac let out a wail.
He recalled the past again, the terror of being dominated by Erha!
…
Meanwhile, the outcome of another battle had been decided.
“How is this possible?”
Polon’s eyes bulged.
He flatly refused to believe that the Goddess’ ritual would be interrupted, something not even a ‘Sixth Level Occupational Person’ could do!
Under such horrifying domination, he naturally chose to flee.
But he found that both the dimension and the spirit world had been ‘blocked’, making it impossible for him to summon another Spiritual Body to escape.
“Misfortune … Death!”
Across from him, Sean, who had returned to his normal state, suddenly had a coronet emerge over his head, radiating a dazzling light.
The light transformed into majestic robes, layers of ethereal images enveloping him, commanding a voice like a decree.
Polon’s spiritual body was entwined with misfortune in an instant, no longer able to pass the ‘Instant Death Judgment’.
The next moment, his eyes rolled back, and he tumbled down from the altar.
He was dead …
