BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79 - 79 Holy Spirit Disc
It might even be him.
Moreover, the other party’s current state definitely couldn’t be considered fine.
His soul was shattered, and his main body fell into a long slumber.
This was all the information William had learned from the fat crow.
Moon Realm Overlord, Father of the Crows.
If William hadn’t guessed in that direction after hearing this name for the first time, he had to consider that possibility after seeing the empty tomb in the Holy Sepulchre and snatching the crow-feather-shaped soul fragment from the Void Sovereign.
Although it was very troublesome and Difficult to transform from a Currere existence to a Moon Realm existence, it wasn’t impossible.
Especially Coles, who was a Crowman. After all, half of his soul was a Moon Realm essence.
Speaking of which, William had this consideration when he chose to recruit the Crowman as the last Judge. After all, there was only 12 Judgment equipment. It was better to find someone who couldn’t hold Judgment equipment to take the last seat.
As for Coles, it wasn’t very difficult for him to give up on his body in Currere and slot into the Moon Realm to become a Moon Realm Overlord.
But why?
Becoming a Moon Realm Overlord meant giving up most of his free will. He could only leave behind the illusion of a fake personality.
If the Father of the Crows was really Coles, why did he do this?
With this in mind, William turned his gaze to the item called the Holy Spirit Disc in the Crow Feathered Prophet’s hand.
“What’s this?”
“The Holy Spirit Disc is a holy relic used to connect the statue of the Eighth Holy Spirit to the Eighth Holy Spirit. It’s also your goal for coming here,” the other party replied.
William took the silver disc.
This disc was about the size of a vinyl record, but it was much thicker. It was full metal and was hefty in his hand.
The workmanship of the disc was very exquisite and gorgeous. The entire disc was evenly divided into 12 intervals like a clock. Every interval was engraved with a pattern with a rich religious aura.
The content depicted on the pattern was the Eighth Holy Spirit’s life.
Or rather, the lives of William Kane and Terra Riel.
Calming the Rotten Moon Tide, sealing the Seven Calamities, repelling the Damon Continent’s invasion…
The dragon bowing its head, conquering the Vic Continent, and being crowned by the Seven Holy Spirits…
Every interval depicted a symbolic event in their history using complicated patterns.
The moment he touched the disc, William saw several tiny silver threads extend from it. Most of them extended in the direction of Thorn City. Of the remaining two threads, one extended to Nizemar and the other to Cass.
To be precise, it extended to the figurines they wore.
When William saw that Nizemar and Cass’s expressions didn’t change, he understood that only the person holding the disc could see the silver threads.
“The spells engraved on this disc will resonate with the deeds of the Eighth Holy Spirit in history and use it to leverage the power of the Holy Spirit to augment the figurine. All the Holy Spirit discs were personally forged by Terra Riel back then, and a total of 45 are placed in the Empire’s Sealing Temples. As long as this is the case, the Holy Spirits Church can complete its control over the entire continent’s intelligence through this disc. This is also the core of the Holy Spirits Church’s control over the Empire’s largest intelligence network.”
The Crow Feather Prophet looked at the puzzled expression on William’s face and quickly explained to him.
“The Holy Spirit Disc is usually in a sealed state. Activating it consumes a large amount of mana and requires the corresponding holy relics as a key. However, if it were you, you would undoubtedly have the highest authority over this disc… The highest authority over William Kane’s figurines. Of course, those figurines are probably completely inanimate now.”
Nizemar felt a chill down her spine when she heard their conversation.
As a high-level relic hunter, Nizemar’s status in the Eighth Order wasn’t low, but she had never heard of the figurines she usually wore having surveillance functions.
Didn’t that mean that her every move was under the surveillance of the Church’s upper echelons?
She didn’t mind her words and actions being constantly watched by the Eighth Holy Spirit. On the contrary, this was a supreme honor for her.
However, being watched by the Church’s upper echelons was another matter.
Upon hearing the Crow Feather Prophet’s explanation, William asked, “So, this is also the essence of the so-called Holy Spirit manifestation?”
The other party nodded and replied, “This was a design from the beginning to prevent this authority from falling into the hands of others. They couldn’t confirm that you were really dead after all. Therefore, when designing this Holy Spirit Disc, they specially added such a setting for insurance.”
This was in line with William’s guess. The manifestation of the cracked figurines was essentially a self-destruct mechanism to destroy the figurines that were half his.
Therefore, half of the authority that belonged to Terra Riel should be in the hands of the royal family and the Church?
William felt that he almost burst out laughing in his rage.
There was nothing to say about them if they elevated him to divinity to be worshiped as the Eighth Holy Spirit. It was solely because they lacked the ability and needed to rely on the shadows of the past to maintain their legitimacy.
He didn’t expect to use this figurehead to do such a tasteless thing after producing the Eighth Holy Spirit. Moreover, they were so afraid that the original owner would return.
Don’t do this if you’re afraid.
From this point of view, the revelation of Kane’s New Testament described the cracking of the figurines as a sign that the Eighth Holy Spirit was about to vent its anger wasn’t wrong.
After the Moon Realm invasion in the Blackwater Province was appeased, he was about to return and cause a true ‘parish disaster’ for the Eighth Order and the entire Holy Spirits Church.
With this in mind, he said to the Crow Feather Prophet, “I need to know your master’s coordinates in the Moon Realm now.”
No matter what, William had to confirm the status of the Father of the Crows suspected to be Coles.
But regarding this…
“Presiding Judge, this is also the greatest reason why we’re here to look for you. Ever since my master’s soul was shattered, the coordinates of his Moon Realm domain, Black Crow Gaze, have been completely lost. Only by recovering the last four soul fragments that are still scattered in the mortal world can we find the path there.”
