Chapter 259 I Am Already a God
Poseidon?
This word made Xius feel familiar yet strange. He knew about the Church of Poseidon and even heard rumors about the Temple of Poseidon, but Poseidon? Did this god really exist?
Wait, if Poseidon exists, why was the Church of Poseidon removed from the list of the five major churches?
More importantly, how did Monica know all this?
The sea of Poseidon had been polluted for thousands of years, and Zeus had a bad suspicion.
"That time when I was polluted and eroded, it was actually the remains of Poseidon trying to merge with me. At that time, I was in the Abyss, the Abyss." Monica smiled bitterly: "The Abyss is actually the entrance to the Temple of Poseidon."
Temple of Poseidon, Zeus had heard this word before - it was really strange, it was clearly called the Church of Poseidon and the Temple of Poseidon, but he had never had the slightest desire to explore the "Poseidon". The person who told him the news also completely ignored this point, as if the Church of Poseidon was just an ordinary name.
Thinking about it now, he felt horrified. What was this? Sinking memories? No, it should be more advanced than that. His ability to understand seemed to be cut off. When he saw the name, he could not make any relevant associations.
And "Monica, you know, I have actually been in Castel all the time, and only occasionally came to this body through some special means." Xius stared into her eyes. "You, you still remember your people, right?"
"Of course I remember. Sister Ash is always cool and doesn't like to talk. Sister Nini is narrow-minded. Sister Una can't speak when she's nervous. She gets nervous when she sees people."
Xius sighed secretly and spoke carefully: "But they seem to have forgotten you. No one remembers you."
After saying that, he looked at Monica with some concern, but the Banshee, who had grown taller in front of him, was not surprised. She looked at the soil under her feet with some reluctance and said softly:
"I know they won't remember me, and no one will remember me in the future. You see, you can't remember the Sea God either, right?"
Zeus' eyes widened, and a very bad feeling emerged in his heart. He said in a trembling voice: "You said before that Poseidon was trying to merge with you."
“Yes, He is almost there.”
Hughes felt his scalp burst.
Is the fusion almost successful? Then, will Monica still be Monica? What is she, the new Poseidon?
She had so much ancient knowledge that she could even see her own threads. Monica looked gloomy, she sighed, and began to tell the story.
Since the drastic changes that happened a thousand years ago, Poseidon also perished, and his body is in the Temple of Poseidon. The death of Poseidon directly caused part of the Temple of Poseidon to collapse, creating a huge hole, which is the eye of the storm.
In addition to this hole, there are countless small cracks distributed throughout the abyss.
Pollution is the product of the disintegration of Poseidon's body. Thousands of years after Poseidon's death, physical pollution continued to overflow from Poseidon's Temple, filling the entire Storm Ocean with pollution.
The four major churches have been away from the ocean for a full thousand years.
Xiusi's heart suddenly moved. He remembered that Una once told him that the pollution in the sea was different from other pollution.
After Xiu Si raised his doubts, Monica nodded and said, "Indeed, the pollution in the sea is the corpse of the sea god. It is indeed unique. I don't know much about other pollution."
The other pollution was actually caused by Zeus's cognitive interference regarding soap. The accumulated pollution had already been used up by then, and the subsequent pollution was all transformed from the corpses of the fishmen and the arm monsters.
Huh? The fishman and the arm monster turned into pollution after death, and the body of the sea god also turned into pollution? !
"Monica, in fact, many monsters appeared on Castel, and they will become pollution after they die."
"Those are the flesh and blood of the Sea God. Are these monsters stronger in the sea water?"
Hughes nodded.
"That's right. These flesh and blood have the characteristics of being alive, and they have superimposed some of the powers of the sea god. They will have stronger power in the sea, and they are controlled by believers."
"Wait, believer manipulation?"
Monica nodded with a complicated expression: "Yes, this is the culprit of everything. The Sea God has long been dead and would not have attacked me. It was the believers of the Sea God Church who gave the Sea God new life through their continuous sacrifices and prayers for thousands of years."
"The believers give life to the gods?" Hughes was extremely surprised. "Those believers can actually revive the dead gods?"
"Originally it was not allowed, but the wills of those believers were too strong. They sacrificed their lives without hesitation, generation after generation, for a full thousand years."
Monica looked out at the sea around her.
"This was a cognitive interference that spanned thousands of years - the god was dead, but the believers disagreed. In the end, their firm will allowed the god to revive again."
Zeus stood there in a daze. The shock he received today was greater than all the times he had traveled through time. In the past, he had heard people comment on the Church of Poseidon as irrational lunatics, and most extraordinary people looked down on those people with flawed abilities.
But this group of people, these crazy people, actually spent a thousand years resurrecting their dead gods bit by bit.
Like insignificant drops of water, they gather together and become the vast ocean.
"Those monsters are not actually monsters, but humans, believers of the Church of the Sea God. They voluntarily transformed into monsters just to be sacrificed to their gods."
The fishmen and the arm monsters were once humans? Xiu Si suddenly remembered a lot of details. The arm monsters were full of human arms, not those of sea creatures. The internal structures of the fishmen were messy, just like the monsters that humans tried to imagine.
After their death they will turn into pollution, they are the flesh and blood of Poseidon. The believers of the Church of Poseidon sacrificed everything and replaced the flesh and blood of Poseidon with their own flesh and blood. Over a thousand years, countless believers continued to dedicate themselves, gradually filling the vacancy of Poseidon's body.
Such planning, such sacrifice, even though they were Castel's enemies, Hughes couldn't help but stand in awe.
He only lamented that the monsters were endless like the tide, but he didn't know that the monsters that fell one by one were once lives and devout believers.
They used their own lives to consume one of Castel's bullets, and then fell down, allowing the rest of the people to step on their bodies and move forward.
Castel's enemies are not groups of monsters, but all the believers who have sacrificed in the history of thousands of years! An inexplicable emotion was stuck in Xius's chest. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to express it. He was silent for a while, and then asked in a daze: "But, didn't you say that the sea god merged with you?"
Since Poseidon merged with Monica, what did Poseidon's followers resurrect? Why did they attack Castel so frantically?
Monica shook her head: "You got the order wrong. The believers resurrected the Sea God first, so He just happened to corrode me. Those polluted beasts are the will of the Sea God. He could have been resurrected normally after some time, but I happened to appear at this time."
"So He attacked you?"
"To be more precise, he was driving away all the creatures in the Abyss in preparation for his own resurrection. So Ash was not hindered too much when he left. He didn't intend to revive from me."
"At this time, He already has some of His own will and can make some superficial judgments. He just needs to wait for the believers to continue to offer sacrifices. There is no need to take risks."
"Then why did He merge with you in the end?"
Monica sighed deeply, her expression complicated. "It's a bit unbelievable, but it's all just a coincidence. After I was attacked, the pollution did hurt me, but when I left the Abyss, they would have gone away. Unfortunately—"
Monica suddenly turned to look at Xius: "Do you still remember what the effect of flesh and blood magic is?"
"Force your body to stay in a fixed state." Xius said without hesitation.
"Yes, I passed out at that time, but the other members of the tribe took turns to use flesh and blood magic on me. Although this maintained my condition, it also fixed the soul of the sea god in my body."
"Wait, this isn't right? It's just the pollution on you, right? How come the soul of the sea god is also here with you?"
Monica's eyes dimmed a little. She took a deep look at the sea, and after a while she spoke: "This is the most coincidental part. After the death of Poseidon, His soul was also annihilated. The way the believers of the Poseidon Church resurrected Him was to sacrifice flesh and blood. The soul resurrected in this way is naturally in flesh and blood."
"And the flesh and blood of the Sea God is pollution. Every trace of pollution in the sea is a trace of the Sea God's soul."
"Originally, this is nothing. Losing some soul fragments will not affect the resurrection of the Sea God, but I took these souls out of the sea."
"After leaving the sea, the power of the Sea God was reduced too much, and my power took the lead. It was equivalent to that I took the initiative to merge this part of the Sea God's soul. Then, due to the destruction of the Banshees' cognitive barrier, the pollution in the sea was attracted to gather towards me, and I was once again connected with the Sea God's soul in the Sea God Temple."
Monica smiled sadly: "So you didn't just purify the pollution in me at that time, you purified the entire soul of the Sea God."
Zeus' pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip and kept trembling.
So that's how it is, everything is connected! No wonder Monica is so powerful after being corrupted, no wonder purifying pollution can cause a storm in the Ocean of Storms!
Purification, purification, Zeus knew what purification meant. The original Lord of the Moth in this body had been purified by him.
"So you"
"Yes, the soul of the sea god in the sea has been annihilated, and I am the only sea god soul now."
The setting sun shone on her, casting a long shadow. Monica looked into the distance, and spots of light fell on her profile, making her look as holy as a sculpture.
"I am now the God of the Sea."
