Chapter 416 - 258: I Want to See the Blood of the Gods Flow Everywhere (Double-Length - )
[Your clone Heisatan’s fuel condensation progress has reached 10%.]
[Your clone Heisatan has been eroded by Authority.]
[You need to resist Authority erosion, or you will become a puppet of Authority Power.]
[Please choose a way to resist erosion.]
[True Perspective/Game Perspective]
Hmm?
When Rogel saw this series of messages, he was a bit surprised.
He scratched his head and then began trying again after loading a save.
A while later, Rogel’s eyes lit up in realization as he sat in front of the screen.
Authority erosion was originally a big trouble.
But Rogel, who had the game, could use two different methods to tackle the erosion.
The first is to resist head-on in True Perspective.
Authority erosion comes in waves.
If you can’t withstand just one of them, you fail. But Rogel can save his progress, making this issue not very difficult for him.
And if you switch to the Game Perspective, the problem becomes easier.
The game turns resisting erosion into a mini-game directly.
Rogel only needs to maneuver a small light ball representing him, dodging wave after wave of attacks to survive.
With the ability to save and load, this matter poses no difficulty for him.
Thinking of this, Rogel relaxed his heart suddenly.
The game had paved the way for him.
Therefore, unsurprisingly, Rogel easily passed the first erosion.
...
The Gelin has been fully transformed.
Overall, it looks much the same as before, but the color of the hull has changed to deep blue, which is the color of Deep Sea Rigid Wood.
The keel transformation, however, is not visible.
After Rogel and others tested the hardness of the Gelin, they found it can now resist common swords and even attacks imbued with Extraordinary Power.
Looking at the renewed Gelin before him.
Rogel nodded in satisfaction.
It was worth all those Gold Coins.
Then Rogel and the others proceeded to prepare to move things back to the Gelin.
...
"May the Master of the Black Tide bless your smooth journey, Rogel."
Sharo blessed Rogel.
During this time in Magrela, she’s communicated quite a bit with Rogel, enough to somewhat consider each other as friends.
Therefore, as he was about to leave, Sharo came to see him off, also learning his real name.
Rogel: "..."
Her words rendered Rogel somewhat speechless.
...Fine, she’s not wrong, indeed, the Master of the Black Tide is blessing me.
"Aren’t you a Defier? Why have you started to worship a deity?"
Rogel smiled and asked.
Upon hearing him, Sharo paused for a moment before speaking: "Without a god’s power, we’d remain Defiers all our lives, unable to thoroughly dismantle the Church’s laws."
"Only gods can counteract gods."
Rogel did not respond immediately.
Most humans in the Sea of Confession are Believers.
But being a Believer means certain ties to freedom.
The Extraordinary Path has likely been eliminated by the Church of the Sea of Confession.
Hence, even knowing the true face of the Church, they can only be Defiers, unable to be destroyers of the law.
Ultimately, they can only hope to advance a god, unable to rely on themselves to change it all.
Undeniably, it is helpless and tragic.
"You seem quite satisfied with this Master of the Black Tide?"
Rogel asked again.
"It’s just a transaction."
"If He engages in evil deeds, I will become a Defier once more."
Sharo’s eyes held determination.
Unknown to her, her ’boss’ stood before her, listening to her desire to ’hop jobs’.
"That day might never come."
Rogel smiled.
"Perhaps..."
"Maybe I should have ventured into the mist back then, to chase those elusive legends..."
"The Sea of Confession... is no longer the human’s Sea of Confession..."
Sharo’s expression grew somewhat somber.
But she quickly regained her spirit.
"Goodbye, Rogel."
"See you if fate allows."
...
[You have entered the Tooth Spirit Sacred Land, Qina.]
[In this scene, you witness countless devout Believers coming from various seas to hold a celebratory ritual for Tooth Spirit.]
[You show no interest in such apparent radiance, heading straight to the secret altar, finding the Tooth Spirit there.]
[At this moment, Tooth Spirit appears in Qina’s form, yet the lower jaw secretly oozes filthy black oil.]
[He controls the entire Body, despite Sela mastering part of Qina’s power, her Spirit is too weak to compete with Him.]
[Therefore, over the years, He’s been well disguised, apparent as the Tooth Spirit Sacred Land’s totem, secretly sacrificing Believers, Devouring filth.]
[Without a word, you engage Him in a fierce battle.]
[He’s a truly Angel Tier Extraordinary Creature!]
[Without the Illusory Black Stone’s power, you would be utterly powerless.]
[But as you’re suppressed, you seize an opportunity to sound the Qina Bone Whistle.]
[Its power awakens Sela within the Tooth Spirit, granting her the strength to contest for control of the Body with the Tooth Spirit.]
[She shouts, urging you to kill her and end this filth.]
[But the Tooth Spirit won’t give up easily.]
[After a tough tug-of-war, you finally defeat the Tooth Spirit.]
"Be buried with your filth, foul creature..."
Sela’s voice carried relief.
During the long time, she witnessed the Tooth Spirit Devour innocent Believer after Believer.
She was an accomplice to this sin, her hands equally stained with blood.
