BXBX NOVEL Chapter 733: New Divine Body
Chapter 733: New Divine Body
There were only three sealed areas that had collapsed on the Devil Continent, but everything was under control. With that being said, Nell had already gained enough information after hearing some of the devil\'s military plans.
"Have you met the Evil God yet?" Nell was about to end this meeting.
"Yeah, he said that his divine title was changed. He is a Heretic God now, and surprisingly he was a crow when he arrived here. Currently, he is on a hill east of this city to meditate. Do you want to go there to meet him?" Dylan folded his arms and stared out the window.
"Yeah, we wanted to check his current situation before leaving. Would you like to come with us there?" Nell replied with an invitation.
"All right." Dylan nodded slightly. He would take advantage of this situation to ensure the Heretic God\'s situation. He didn\'t really feel safe knowing that God was lurking in the shadows without any clarity.
"Good, let\'s go." Nell flew back to her group and asked them to leave.
"Hmm, are you done with your business?" Elena rose from her seat.
"Yeah, that\'s over. Let\'s see the Heretic God, and we can go back." Nell nodded slightly.
"..." Alexander stared at a prototype weapon with a deep gaze. It was as if he was learning it by just looking at it.
"What are you doing, old geezer? Are you impressed with our advanced weapons, devils? You\'re trying to learn that by scanning it, eh? The humans have been in a bit of a predicament in the last few weeks." Dylan sneered with sarcasm.
"Not really. I was just comparing the so-called devil\'s weapon with our technology. You copied some dwarven technology, I guess. The majority are cannon type, huh... Even if they\'re just miniature prototypes and look sophisticated, they won\'t be able to compete with our new weaponry, let alone our heavy artillery." Alexander folded his arms and snorted. He walked away with a mocking smile.
"Hee, this is interesting. I heard the humans have a flashy battlesuit and a pair of magic gauntlets. Is that what you mean by your advanced weapon?
How ridiculous to compare it to our cannon. You say that only because you haven\'t seen the real ones yet." Dylan smirked and shook his head.
"Can\'t you-" Sylvia was just about to speak because she was a bit tired of hearing the adult bickering for more than half an hour. Still, Elysia interrupted her before she finished her words.
"I heard bickering is a form of a relationship because they care about each other." Elysia muttered as if she was talking to Sylvia, but it was loud enough to reach Alexander and Dylan\'s ears.
They both fell silent for a moment and just exchanged annoyed looks. Elysia\'s statement could be interpreted to mean something annoying. They went silent because they didn\'t want to be seen as the party that cared.
"Wow, Ely... That\'s the most elegant way to end the adult debate. They care about your opinions and impressions." Sylvia covered her mouth and whispered close to Elysia\'s ear.
"Hehe, you and Yuuki also bickering a lot, right? However, the two of you reconciled afterwards. Are they different?" Elysia pointed her palm at Yuuki.
"That\'s different, Ely. Yuuki is just cunning, petty, naive, and vindictive. Adults are much more complicated to understand, and I often give up trying to think of such complicated things." Sylvia shook her head.
"Huh?" Yuuki raised her eyebrows. She didn\'t like to be publicly vilified like that, especially by her honorable master.
"Alright, now it\'s time for us to go." Elysia patted Sylvia\'s arm and walked away.
"Mm~" Elena hummed softly and walked right beside Elysia. Everyone else then followed shortly after.
Everyone went to a hill a few kilometers east of Wales City. A place covered in oppressive dark energies with barely any life in the surroundings, only trees and shrubs that had mutated into something poisonous and dangerous.
"This place looks like a forbidden forest. What is that stupid devil trying to do?" Oceanid checked the ground and frowned.
"That must have been something equally stupid. Maybe, he wants to recover quickly and do something ridiculous again. I have to quickly check what he\'s really doing." Nell grumbled in annoyance and flew towards the place with the thickest dark energy.
"This place can have a bad effect on you. Do you want to come inside or wait here?" Rhea asked Alexander and the other humans.
"If possible, we will wait here. It would not be wise for us to approach with this unstable dark energy." Alexander stepped back from the land of darkness.
"Hehe, just as I said before. The dark energy in our territory can harm you without you even knowing it." Dylan smirked as if he was the winner in their previous argument.
"Very well, you all better wait here. Ely." Elena gave an eye signal. If Elysia waited here, everyone else would obviously be willing to do the same.
"Understood." Elysia stepped out of the hill area of darkness, and Elena erected a protective barrier.
"Wait here a moment." Elana raised her palm to Elysia before going after Nell. Only Rhea, Oceanid, Regulus, and Dylan went with her.
"Hmm, I wonder what the Heretic God is doing here. Is it similar to that sacrificial ritual ceremony? This is terrible. He used thousands of innocent soul blood to get the characteristic power of an accursed creature, but what about now?." Sylvia felt a little worried, but her expression didn\'t look that way.
"That\'s terrible..." Ella covered her mouth.
"My goodness, he will be severely punished by other divine beings if he does that again, right?" Evelyn also covered her mouth. She stared at the dark energy vortex on top of the hill, somewhat frightened.
"Fufu, it\'s just an anti-magic trait and some power boosts. However, his divine body was destroyed in his previous battle against the Ruvoid God. He is currently just trying to reform his new divine body. This kind of effect is only natural because he is the embodiment of the darkness of the abyss. Don\'t worry." Lifa reassured everyone with soft words.
"Hmm, there\'s not much we can expect from the devil\'s God." Alexander sighed. He would watch what would happen on that hill at the exclusive spot.
Meanwhile, a cloud of black shadows was absorbed in his meditation. He was too busy to reshape his brand new divine body, which was already in the final stages.
He was aware of the approaching intruders, but he didn\'t have time to deal with them.
"Go away. Your arrival can disrupt my rituals! Especially you, Firefly and Sun. Your divine light can mess things up." Xero warned the uninvited guests with his deep hoarse voice.
"Hmm, I thought you were doing a forbidden ritual three months ago." Nell pursed her lips.
"He looks like he\'s reforming his new body, little one. Let\'s get out of here. He looks like he\'s almost done too. Hey, Heretic God, can you do that yourself or need a little help?" Elena invited Rhea to take a few steps back.
"You know what I\'m trying to do? There\'s no need. Your help will only mess up my rituals. The materials I have are more than enough to reform my new divine body. Now, get out of here quickly.
My new divine body will probably be finished this afternoon, haha! Leave now!" Xero shouted loudly and chased everyone away. A jet of black air hit the uninvited guests, but it wasn\'t strong enough to drive anyone away.
"Very well, then we\'ll see what happens at the foot of the hill. Oh poor bird, you just become his vessel and get dumped." Elena urged everyone to leave.
"..." Xero didn\'t answer and just watched all the uninvited guests leave the cave.
He then glanced at the dead bird in the corner of the cave. It was lifeless and decaying... A short recollection of him as a bird came to mind. However, it was already over because his new divine body was almost finished.
The dark energy thickened even more, and the entire cave was completely enveloped in darkness.
"Little one, why do you like to go ahead of us? Did you never imagine that the worst would happen to you and we wouldn\'t be there to help you?" Elena gently advised Nell. Her mood was still good at the moment, so that was the best thing she could do.
"I\'m just worried he\'s doing something stupid again. I can take care of myself and run away if necessary." Nell pouted slightly and looked down subconsciously.
"I see..." Elena didn\'t mind anything and just flew down the hill of darkness. She went straight back to Elysia\'s side.
Rhea didn\'t say anything, but she asked her little sister to sit on her palm before going after Elena.
"..." Oceanid, Regulus, and Dylan exchanged glances. Yet, they just shrugged their shoulders and left from that hill.
"We will wait here for some time. The Heretic God is almost done with his new divine body, and we shall see what happens next." Oceanid announced to everyone.
"Shall we wait here? Let\'s get some distance from this hill first." Elysia suggested to Elena, but that sounded like answering Oceanid instead.
"Good, let\'s do that." Oceanid doesn\'t mind that. With that, everyone went some distance from the hill of darkness and waited there for a while.
The day was getting closer to noon, but the sunlight was starting to be covered by black clouds and followed by strong winds. A sign that a storm was coming.
