Chapter 79
"My companion has a strong dark talent, but I never thought of reporting him. Perhaps this made the will of my god notice me."
"Besides, everyone knows my identity. If everything goes well, I will sit on the throne of Pope. In the future, I will be the person with the most say in the Holy See, and I will naturally be able to control more things in terms of appointment and decision-making."
At this point, the young man smiled warmly and glanced at the demons across from him. "I have a devout faith in the Lord of Darkness. As long as I am here, the Church is under the control of my God. It will be easier for us to do anything than for those of you who are unfortunately trapped by the God of Light."
"Perhaps this is why God showed us miracles when we were young and guided Winster and me throughout our growth."
Even though this human's expression and tone were calm and he showed no contempt, the demons still felt that they were being ridiculed and were of no use.
Damn it! If they could enter and exit the abyss freely, they would have established the Dark Church for their god long ago. They would not have allowed the God of Light to dominate alone and would have almost recruited the entire world to become His believers!
Raymond had always felt that the style of this new Son of God was very different from that of other priests, especially since he never mentioned the God of Light after leaving the Bishop's Court. After hearing these few lies, he actually believed them.
He was shocked and uneasy, looking at Elphis with wide eyes: "Has the will of our God... always been watching you? Then, then, has He mentioned me?!"
Raymond wanted to cry but had no tears. Thinking about it, after becoming the opponent's close knight, he was basically doing odd jobs and did not show his advantages at all. Oh my God... How could such a person be valued by the gods!
"Ah——" Raymond was slapped by his father's big palm and staggered, almost falling to the ground. He glared at his father, but when he met the pair of deep eyes that implied a warning, he dared not say a word.
They were all powerful people who were several or even dozens of times older than the silver-haired young man. How could they believe everything they heard? The temple could be unsealed, and it was not necessarily the method these two people got from somewhere.
The succubus flew in front of the human. She smiled faintly, her fingertips entwined with the curly hair that fell to her chest. The gaze that lingered on the young man's face was like a hook, and every word she spoke also had a hook -
"So... dear, my God must have given you a way to wake Him up from His slumber, so that you can consult the oracle at any time?"
"In the abyss, tens of millions of lives have been trapped for a long time, but they have never given up their faith. We firmly believe that the Lord of Darkness will wake up one day! If the gods respond to us, even if only one miracle appears, the abyss will revive."
"Brother Ai'er, as a fellow believer, you must understand our desire to witness miracles and hear the voice of God. Can you help us ask for God's will and let our God guide us in the direction we should go? All the tribes in the abyss will obey our God. With our help, you will have reliable companions who will cooperate with you no matter what you do in the Church."
The word "brother" was so convoluted and every word was so sincere that it was hard to refuse.
The young man looked at her, almost in a trance for a moment, and then gently refused, "Next time my god comes to deliver the oracle, I will convey your sincere wishes." As for praying to the god for you, forget it...
Anita's pretty face was filled with obvious disappointment, but her eyes were fixed on the human youth. "Do brother El and the little dark mage need servants to serve you? I, your sister, am happy to go to the temple to take care of you and do some cleaning and chores. Just take me in, okay?"
Al looked at her slowly blinking eyelashes, her chest that seemed to be inadvertently raised higher while she spoke, and her tone of voice that was vaguely seductive. He couldn't help but be silent for a moment - was she seducing me?
Don’t succubi have a racial talent that makes them very good at confusing the mind? That’s it???
"I'm sorry, beautiful lady Succubus, I am not qualified to bring you into the temple. Moreover, you don't have the mark of my god on you. If you are noticed by the guards, you will be in danger."
Anita was startled, her charming expression disappeared, and she looked at the human boy seriously.
She possesses the style that all creatures of the opposite sex like, a stunning face, a sexy figure, a moving voice, and she also has great strength. At the same time, she appears elegant, polite, mature, and willing to depend on the other party. As long as the human race has a good impression of one of these styles, with the blessing of the succubus's talent, she can turn one point of liking into ten points of liking!
The opposite sex will either be aroused by her desire to protect her or will have a desire to conquer her. This is the result when succubi deal with opponents of a lower realm than them. Those of a higher realm will also be affected. It doesn't make sense that a mere twenty-year-old human kid wouldn't be bewitched at all!
Even if he is the type of opposite sex who likes Zhichun, with all her advantages, isn't there any one that he likes?
How picky is this guy! Or does he simply have no desire for love?
Anita would never admit that she was not attractive enough, haha! This human must be stupid!
Al only saw the succubus glare at him coquettishly, then flew to her fellow tribesmen not far away with disgust, and complained about something in a low voice.
Of course he had heard of the racial talents of succubi, and he also knew that the other party had tried to confuse him just now, but perhaps the rumors were exaggerated, and he did not feel distracted.
It's not that the other person doesn't have some merits that he admires. He is quite superficial. Normally, he will take a second look at any beautiful and exquisite things. However... it makes no difference to him whether they are people, objects, or aliens. He just treats them as pleasing to the eyes and never thinks of getting close to them. Just as Anita guessed, he has no lust for love, so the effect of the succubus's talent on him is naturally halved.
Elphis didn't know the specific reason, he only knew that the other party was either asking for this or that, which was so annoying!
His Royal Highness the Son of God, who appears kind but is actually cold-hearted, hates it most when others ask him for unconditional help. They are not close relatives or friends, so go to hell with you!
——Because of a little disgust, the succubus's talent was completely ineffective.
The demons on the other side already had bad words in their voices, "We can't hear the oracle with our own ears, how can we believe that you are true believers of darkness?!"
"The human race is the most insidious and cunning. The reappearance of the temple may not be guided by our god. You just want to use this as an excuse to gain our trust!"
"Over the years, the Abyss has sent many people there. If my God's will really roams the world, how could it only send two weak humans?!"
The high-level demons have relied on their strength to be arrogant for thousands of years, and most of them have no patience. Now more and more people are questioning it. Obviously, the human race has been surrounded by danger.
"Roar--" The giant dragon that was dozing off behind the silver-haired young man raised its eyelids and arched its upper body. It stood beside the human race, looking down at the demons below with its cold and cruel vertical pupils. Its desire to attack was obviously stronger than theirs.
However, the human's gentle touch on its scales seemed to have a soothing effect, preventing the divine creation from making any drastic action.
Hundreds of demons stared at the outsider, trying to see guilt and fear to confirm their guess, but they only saw the human smiling indifferently -
"Why should I gain your trust? If I really needed to, I would have killed Raymond and silenced him, hidden my talent, and let my companions appear as God's Blessed Ones to unlock the temple."
It is useless to gain their trust. In other words, it will be the same with or without their help. The demons trapped under the seal have heard this subtext.
They felt humiliated, and at the same time believed more in what the Son of Light had said before: He was right, if he was really an enemy, why would he have spared Raymond's life?
The demons looked at each other, and just as their suspicions were lessened, they heard the human boy say lightly, "You all seem to be very disgusted with my presence... Then I can only ask everyone to be patient and it's best not to take action. I will not get into any trouble, but... as the Son of God, I can naturally gain a little benefit. I have the seal left by the God of Light on me. If I am threatened, all the dark races in this area, even those with sub-god strength, will be purified."
The young man's fingertips stroked across his forehead, and a circle of complex and tiny divine spells appeared for a moment before disappearing again.
"???"
"!!!"
"As a believer of my God, how can you accept the favor of the God of Light!"
The demons were incredulous, they widened their eyes and questioned loudly!
Especially those who almost couldn't help but take action just now, their hearts tightened, fuck! No wonder this kid is so weak, yet so arrogant!
The smile on the human's face looked abominable no matter how you looked at it. "My belief in the Lord of Darkness does not conflict with using the power of the God of Light to protect myself."
"My God said that He likes the way I deceive the light."
The young man always smiled politely. In the eyes of the demons, such creatures were stupid and could be bullied. But if you look closely at this time, you can see the indifference and arrogance in the eyes of the human race.
They hated the God of Light, but they would never dare to think of deceiving Him. Without the leadership of another main god, the demons would not even dare to look up at the God of Light!
Those born gods possess the power to destroy the world and supreme majesty, which makes the lower creatures can't help but worship the main gods of the same system. Why does this son of God with excellent talent in the light system choose to go against the ordinary path?
At this moment, looking at this human gently caressing the giant beast with opposing elemental attributes, all the demons present had the same thought - the Lord of Darkness would certainly appreciate such a believer. Oh~ the faith taken away from the opponent must be more pleasing to the gods!
The disrespect shown by the young man towards the God of Light alone was enough to make the demons look at him more favorably. Coupled with the divine power brought by the power of faith, the demons were even more convinced of what El said.
If you can't see the Lord of Darkness, then you can't see him. According to records, their god is not the kind of person who would be soft-hearted towards his believers. He doesn't care about his believers. Even if he really appears before them, he probably won't respond to their requests. Instead, he will despise them for being useless. Whenever they encounter trouble, they hope for a miracle to happen - according to records, the Lord of Darkness really said something similar!
The demons longed for their gods to awaken. In addition to the worship and submission engraved in their blood, they also hoped that the gods would be dissatisfied with the light's dominance and would intervene to hinder it. It would be even better if they could break the seal and let them go out to help.
Seeing the Lord of Darkness, the demons did not dare to ask for help. Now it is good as it is, the two messengers of God can enter the temple, which is an honor that no believer in the Age of Gods could obtain!
The Lord of Darkness admires them and will surely satisfy their small request, right? Why not ask these two humans to convey the abyss's request?
Hank, Raymond's father, was a big demon with horns on his head, with a blazing light in his eyes. "I believe you. Since you have a close connection with our God, can we respectfully call you the Messenger of God?"
Al's eyes flickered for a moment. He had already imagined what kind of expression Samuel would have when he heard that he had become his messenger...
"My God has designated me as a messenger of God, so of course you can call me that." It doesn't matter, he is thick-skinned.
Hank: "Oh~ Dear God's Messenger, the Abyss, as the power of the Lord of Darkness, has been sealed by the damn God of Light. How can it have a chance to compete with the believers of Light! Can you help us unlock the seal? I wonder how you two did it when you came down before?"
"From what Raymond said, it's a temporary unsealing for a small area, right? Your Highness, can you ask my God to completely lift the seal?"
Al: “…” Can you be more direct?
For a while, excited voices came one after another——
"Once we are free, we will make the races above realize the power of darkness again!"
"We can go up there and establish a dark church! Let those creatures deceived by the God of Light know how hypocritical He is!"
Raymond also began to look forward to the future: "Your Highness, we can work together inside and outside to kill all those archbishops! Then it will be easy to kill the other rubbish, right?"
Al opened his mouth. He was too embarrassed to reject these passionate demons who yearned for freedom...
"I'm sorry, but I can't fulfill your requests at the moment."
The atmosphere that had just become lively became stiff again. The succubus who thought the young man's smile was particularly charming began to hate his smile - he looked so easy to talk to, and he never hesitated when he refused!
Al began to deceive people half-truthfully: "I have personally seen how the Pope summoned the God of Light to the world with ease. Once you attract the attention of the Church, you will definitely be punished by God. Besides, most of the priests are like me, with divine seals protecting them, so they are not that easy to deal with."
"We need a stable situation to investigate some things. This is related to whether we can completely kill the gods. My gods will not like too many uncontrolled beings to mess up the situation."
"I hope everyone can understand that it is not a good thing to lift the seal now." That beautiful smiling face was faintly chilly, making the demons feel threatened.
Of course, having been the boss for two lifetimes, Al would also make plans according to the situation. For example, now, he had to say a few more words to appease these guys who were neither enemies nor friends. "Don't be too anxious. Within a hundred years, my god will lift the seal, otherwise the outside world will completely forget the power of darkness. During this period, if we notice companions in the abyss who are suitable to be helpers, we will also bring them out to conspire together."
The young man's tone was not sonorous or inspiring, but his calm attitude had a convincing charm.
"Only a hundred years... not that far."
"There are too many creatures in the abyss. It is indeed difficult to control them. Let alone the God of Light, the Pope can easily purify a city of darkness. Unfortunately, we cannot kill him even though he has the divine seal protecting him."
"I have begun to look forward to the day when my God will completely kill the Lord of Light. God of Creation! Please protect your most beloved child and let him get what he wants!"
The demons didn't think the hundred-year agreement that El was talking about was too long. Except for humans who had no talent for magic or martial arts, all other creatures belonged to the long-lived race, and some were even a hundred years old and were still treated as cubs.
After having a brief understanding of the plans of the Dark Lord and the gods' messengers, the demons have begun to accept the young man. The two sides have become closer and closer in the conversation, and El soon became the central figure.
After the chat, he was not sure whether he had gained trust, but he did gain friendship, which was not difficult. He just needed to condemn the actions of the God of Light and the Holy See.
Anyway, he always felt that the Vatican had gone too far in some things, and was dissatisfied with the fact that he was forced to become a priest at such a young age. His ridicule was so sincere, and the demons could sense his feelings, so they naturally became closer to this human.
After chatting for half a day, Al felt hungry, so he stayed by the Black River to make lunch.
Considering that it is easier to build a relationship over a table, he took out a lot of ingredients and seasonings and invited the demons to have a picnic together.
This group of high-ranking demons usually have servants to serve them, so they have no interest in cooking by themselves. However, Raymond kept praising the God's cooking skills. His words of praise and the names of the dishes were so interesting to hear that the demons joined in out of curiosity.
Al was busy guiding each group to make different foods. After working together to accomplish this, his relationship with this group of aliens indeed became closer!
How close? For comparison, these guys don't speak well to acquaintances who have known each other for thousands of years, but they treat him with kindness, just like their favorite child. Hank has positioned him as someone else's child. In comparison, he dislikes Raymond in every way.
Al sat on a big rock, eating a fresh meat bun leisurely, watching the lively and fun scene, and nodded with satisfaction in his heart - this was a very successful team-building event!
This group of strong men who had always thought that they ate very delicately only realized today what delicious food is!
God of Creation, thank you for your existence, which allows me to appear in this world and have the opportunity to taste such special food!
Look at this soup, how delicious it is! This pastry, how soft it is! This roast meat, tender and juicy, with a strong aroma! This dessert, exquisite and delicious! And...
As expected of a God's messenger! Their God is really discerning, choosing such a talented, beautiful and gifted young man to work for Him! It would be great if His Highness the God's Messenger could stay in the Abyss forever...
"Your Highness, if the food on the ground is this delicious, I don't think I can wait a hundred years..."
Al's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't believe that such useless words came out of the mouth of a powerful man with an extremely dangerous aura.
"Before I leave, I will make some new dishes for you using common ingredients from the Abyss."
"Woohoo~"
"Oh~ Your Highness the Envoy of God saves people from suffering and cares for us so much. You deserve the respect of the entire abyss!!!"
Listening to the echoes, Al stiffly raised the corners of his lips. The abyss race that was said to be scary, cruel, and able to stop children from crying, would just bend over so easily for a few pieces of rice? Who would dare to believe it if I told them!
He still had a lot of things he wanted to know about the abyss, but he was not in a hurry. It was tiring to fool around for such a long time, and now he wanted to get away for some quiet time.
Using the excuse of delivering food to another messenger of God, Al called Raymond and rode the black dragon to the outside of the temple.
"Your Highness, can I, can I go in too?"
Raymond was trembling with excitement as he looked at the temple so close.
Al raised his eyebrows. "Of course not. Have you forgotten what I said before? You are here to clean up the Far West. Raymond, please move all the buildings that do not belong to the temple out."
"..." Revenge, this must be revenge for him instigating the demons to arrest people yesterday!
Just now, I treated this Holy Son as my own and forgot how bad he was.
Raymond regretted not falling and wanted to cry but had no tears. Al was too lazy to listen to his confession and rode the black dragon into the temple.
Standing aside, Al watched with a frown as Winster escaped from the alchemical puppet and fought back. He was worried, but he did not urge Winster to stop the puppet's actions.
"Brother, you're back. Did you encounter any danger when you went out?"
The silver-haired young man supported Winster, who was hanging on him due to exhaustion, and cast a healing spell. "There is no danger. I had a good chat with the group of demons I met yesterday."
"Really? That's good..." After Winster recovered from his injury, he put his arms around his brother's shoulders and leaned on him without getting up.
As a light mage and the Holy Son of the Church, my brother is actually liked by the Abyss race...
Winster rubbed his cheek against the young man's shoulder. Even though they were so close, he still didn't feel satisfied - what should he do to always be the most special and irreplaceable person in his brother's heart?
Al's shoulders trembled. "Get up. You are all sweaty and dirty. Eat while it's hot."
"I'm so tired. I don't want to move. Please feed me, brother."
The hot, heavy breathing hit his ears, the stimulation made his scalp numb. Al raised his hand to cover one of his ears. Why is this boy becoming more and more clingy?
If we continue to indulge this boy, who knows what outrageous behavior he will do in the future. Hmm...how can we correct him?
