Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang are neighbors, childhood friends, and classmates, but most importantly, they are sworn enemies who have been bickering since they could crawl. They both transmigrated into a...
Chapter 54, Part 1: "God's Favored Ones are embarrassed, you know!"...
"I'll arrange it right away," said Singer.
Even for the Bishop of Poseidon, it would be very troublesome for Singer to take someone to wander around the palace of Atlantis.
But Singh did not refuse and agreed immediately.
With a powerful enemy at hand, a little political trouble is no trouble at all.
Xia Xifeng looked around the Holy Land of the Sea God.
There were things within the Sanctuary, too. However, they required several layers of processing before they could be revealed, unlike the things within the palace, which could be seen simply by visiting the location. He couldn't explain the source of his intelligence, so he could only finally clear the Sanctuary's "seeds."
If the "seed" in the palace had not exploded, even if the outer gods were desperate and directly detonated the "seed" in the sanctuary, it would not have caused too much harm to the sea god.
Xia Xifeng thought maliciously that if the Sea God was really injured by chance, it would be a good lesson for him.
Singh also wanted to ask about further plans.
Xia Xifeng followed his teacher Su Er and raised his index finger in front of his mouth.
Singer sighed and looked at the large water ball on the throne. "My Lord, be still and wait for my return."
The sea god's big water ball trembled angrily.
What do you mean by being content? Why am I not content?!
No, how can you talk to your god? I must expel you from your position as Bishop of Poseidon this time!
Singer didn't bother to pay attention to the anger of the Sea God, and left the Holy Land with Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang.
Looking at Singer's changing appearance, Xia Xifeng asked curiously, "Bishop, why has your appearance changed? If it's a secret, there's no need to answer."
"It's a secret, but I can tell you." Xia Xifeng was his "ally," and Singer placed his trust in him. "I have taken back the power I inherited from my soul."
Xia Xifeng thought about the setting in "Fantasy of Wonderland" and his eyes widened: "The bishop was a fallen demigod in his previous life?!"
"Fantasy of Wonderland" has the setting of soul, and naturally also has the setting of reincarnation.
However, even for warriors who have reached the level of legend, their souls will be washed away from their past and become brand new beings after passing through the Gate of the Dead after death.
The "heroic spirits" blessed by the gods can maintain their original appearance, but they can only live in the kingdom of God. If they want to become mortals again, they must also follow this rule.
A demigod is a powerful being who has ignited the divine fire but does not possess the authority of the gods.
Only beings whose power is close to that of gods will carry the marks of their previous lives after reincarnation.
However, it is only a "trace". Reincarnated beings generally do not regard themselves as the people in their previous lives.
This is different from the projection of gods. When gods project their power into the lower world, they not only carry the memories of the gods, but also recognize themselves as gods, knowing that they will return to their original bodies after "death".
Singh said, "That's about right. I don't usually like to use this power. The memories of my past life are very annoying, like a stranger whispering in my ear."
Xia Xifeng nodded to show that he understood. When using the power of the past life, it was probably like a split personality?
There are also NPCs in the game who can use the power of past lives, and they have all complained about the annoyance of past life memories. However, they only say that it is a bit annoying when the past life "memories" are first awakened, but it will be fine after the memories are fully sorted out.
Bishop Singh seemed to have just awakened his past life memories.
Seeing that Xia Xifeng misunderstood that he was a demigod in his previous life, Singh did not deliberately explain.
It doesn’t matter what his identity was in his previous life. It is enough for his allies to know his level of power.
Singh was not a demigod in his previous life, but an "evil god" who fought with the god of the sea and tried to replace him.
However, he finally surrendered to the Sea God and vowed that if there was an afterlife, he would serve the Sea God for life and become the Sea God's strongest shield and sharpest sword.
When Singh awakened his memories of his past life, he cursed his past life for being sick and harming his present self.
He didn't want to serve a narrow-minded, stupid, and bad-tempered god for the rest of his life.
Although he was already a Bishop of Poseidon who had dealt with Poseidon many times when he awakened, he refused to become a God's favored one because of "his personality was incompatible with Poseidon."
Before a living being awakens the traces of his past life in his soul, even the gods cannot detect his abnormality.
When Singer awakened the traces of his past life in his soul and remembered the promises he made in his past life, the sea god sent an oracle that only contained loud laughter, which almost made Singer sick.
This "past life memory" was truly Singer's dark history, so he didn't want to mention it unless absolutely necessary.
After activating the soul imprint, Singh's power was increased to the demigod level in a short period of time.
But according to common sense, this state cannot sustain combat for a long time and can only be considered a short-term "explosion".
However, the sea god can use his divine power to provide energy to Singer through "blessing". Although using the sea god's divine power will place a greater burden on the body, as long as Singer's body does not collapse, he can continue to use the power of the demigod.
If he just maintains this state, without using any strength, Singer will not consume any strength, nor will it burden his body.
He usually doesn't like to maintain this state, just because he doesn't want to "remember" his dark history.
After learning that Singer could use the power of a demigod, Xia Xifeng felt completely at ease, as if he had returned to the time when he was under the protection of Mr. Amuruo in Green Sand City.
Even if an Outer God comes in person, a demigod can fight him.
After they left the sanctuary, the ship stopped on the sea near the Temple of Poseidon.
The Temple of Poseidon has a teleportation array that leads directly to the capital of Atlantis.
The Pope was clearly aware of Singh's identity.
Seeing Singh appear in this special appearance, he couldn't help but get nervous: "Did something big happen?"
Singh said: "I am following the will of the gods and cannot reveal the mission."
The Pope breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it is the will of God, as long as God can still issue wills."
If you can contact God, then it’s not a big deal.
The Pope immediately opened the treasury, took out a large number of magic crystals, activated the teleportation array, and sent Singer and the strange little knight behind Singer to the capital of Atlantis.
As soon as Singh was teleported to the capital of Atlantis, the King of Atlantis learned the news.
He actually used a teleportation array to come here. Did something happen in the Temple of Poseidon?
Although Poseidon requested that the news be blocked, Atlantis, as the largest country under the sea, the King of Atlantis naturally knew about the assassination of Poseidon's clergy.
He had a hunch that Bishop Poseidon's hasty arrival was related to this case.
The King of Atlantis canceled today's arrangements and sent someone to invite the Bishop of the Temple of Poseidon to the palace.
When he saw Singh, he looked dazed and said, "Bishop Singh, you look... Is the situation really that serious?"
The King of Atlantis had heard that Singer could use the power of a demigod, but there hadn't been a crisis in the sea that would allow Singer to use the power of a demigod. He had never seen Singer's demigod form, and thought it was a rumor spread by the Temple of Poseidon to consolidate faith.
The King of Atlantis was a legendary class himself. Singer was able to put immense pressure on him, clearly demonstrating his demigod-like strength.
Singer said sternly, "The murderer isn't just targeting the Sea God Temple. He's colluding with the evil gods and trying to harm you, the king. That's his real purpose."
The King of Atlantis was stunned, but did not doubt Singer's words.
No wonder Singh requested a private audience, it turned out to be related to a palace conspiracy.
Singh tells lies all the time and doesn't act like an upright clergyman at all.
He said that the murderer's ultimate goal was the King of Atlantis, and that targeting the clergy of the Temple of Poseidon was just "the evil god's request", and that the "innocent people" implicated were the ones he really wanted to kill.
Because it involved a palace conspiracy, the Temple of Poseidon decided to block the news and only let him come forward to settle the matter secretly to avoid causing "political unrest."
He had received news that the murderer would plot to assassinate the King of Atlantis in the next few days and had planted the seeds of the evil god in the palace, so he hurried over to protect the king in the guise of a demigod.
How could a demigod lie?
The King of Atlantis was immediately convinced.
He knew Singh. Singh was not only a bishop but also the lord of Freeport. He had no interest in the kingship of Atlantis, and no one could bribe him.
Singer only asked to explore the palace. Although this would hurt the reputation of the Atlantis royal family a little, if he asked Atlantis to cooperate with the investigation in the name of Poseidon, although it would take a lot of time and go through many procedures, Atlantis would eventually cooperate with him.
If it was just an investigation, Singer wouldn't have needed to save this little time. He'd only brought two knights as escorts and come quietly, without publicly demanding the King of Atlantis' cooperation in the investigation as the Bishop of Poseidon.
The King of Atlantis was a wise king, who immediately agreed to Singh's request and thanked Singh for his protection.
"Currently, no one in the palace can sense Bishop Singer's power except me. I will keep this a secret for the Bishop," the King of Atlantis said. "This time, I took the initiative to invite the Bishop to discuss serious matters."
Singh saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The King of Atlantis stepped down from the throne and said, "It is my turn to thank His Holiness the Bishop. Please wait a moment, Your Holiness the Bishop, while I change my clothes."
It had been a long time since he had moved his hands and feet. The King of Atlantis felt a surge of fighting spirit within him.
Assassination? Humph.
He went through the list of people who were dissatisfied with him in his mind, and then found that there were too many people to list.
If he wants to be an effective king, how many people does he have to "offend"?
Before changing his clothes, the King of Atlantis looked at the two unfamiliar guards behind Singer.
These two guards are quite capable and may become legends in the future. Poseidon Temple is full of talented people.
The two "guards" seemed to be serving as background figures, but they were actually chatting non-stop.
Xia Xifeng was shocked by Singh's acting skills, but what was even more shocking was that Singh was definitely lying, but the lie happened to be in line with the truth.
Qin Lang: [He didn't lie to the truth, but rather deduced the truth through the information you gave him.]
Xia Xifeng: [Singer trusts me so much, I feel so much pressure! ~]
Qin Lang rolled his eyes inwardly. The tilde at the end of your sentence didn't indicate any pressure.
Xia Xifeng: [If the Sea God recognizes us, then Singer will recognize us. Singer's faith is actually quite devout, right?]
Qin Lang: [Don't say it.]
Xia Xifeng: [I know, I know. I won't joke with people I don't know well.]
Qin Lang: [Poseidon? 】
Xia Xifeng: [He is not human.]
Qin Lang curled the corners of his mouth in disgust.
When the King of Atlantis was changing his equipment, Singh pretended that Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were just ordinary guards he brought with him and did not speak to them.
It wasn't until the King of Atlantis returned that Singh used his power to cover the others, isolating them from outside observation. Just like when Amuruo first chatted with Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang, he introduced Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang to the King of Atlantis: "These two are the pioneer knights appointed by Amuruo, the lords of the City of Hope, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang."
The incident of the evil god in the "Green Sand City" was announced to all kingdoms, and the King of Atlantis naturally knew about it.
He clenched the spear in his hand and said with a wry smile, "It seems that things are more troublesome than I thought."
The King of Atlantis obviously thought that the evil god who attacked him this time was the same evil god who was causing trouble in Green Sand City.
In fact, his guess was not wrong. Although they were not the same person, they were in the same group.
After being introduced by Singer, Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang introduced themselves again.
Xia Xifeng took out the trident, pretended that the trident had discovered something, and pretended to use the trident to guide the direction.
The abundant divine power on the trident made the King of Atlantis tremble.
He looked at Singer and asked, "The Lord of the City of Hope is the one favored by the Sea God?"
Singh: "No. But they have the blessings of our Lord."
The King of Atlantis was particularly helpless.
Why are the people who are often blessed by the Sea God never the ones favored by God?
Great Poseidon, alas.
Since you don't like to bless the God's Favored One, then why did you choose the God's Favored One? You know that the God's Favored One is very embarrassing!
Well, the King of Atlantis is actually the embarrassed one favored by the God of the Sea.
