Chapter 655: Meeting Pandora
Sol could have sent a projection to Pandora, choosing to deal with more important problems that required his true body’s undivided attention. Still, he thought doing that would be incredibly disrespectful, that too to a woman he had already wronged.
As he walked into the entrance of the tower, unnoticed by everyone, his feet slowed down as multiple murmurs reached his ears. Sol knew that there was no one physically close enough to him for their murmurs to reach him.
Those murmurs did not come from anyone he knew either. They were indistinguishable voices that had been gradually increasing in volume. When the phenomenon started, Sol almost had the misconception that Hypnos was attempting a mental attack on him. Or he was just slowly turning insane.
The reality, though, was much stranger than his head-canon.
Prayers.
For some reason, he suddenly gained the capability to hear prayers. Naturally, he was incredibly confused at first, regarding why he even got that ability and more so regarding just who would pray to him.
Undoubtedly, to become a King, one had to build a legend and Sol was certainly well respected in his Kingdom. But there was no way anyone would pray to him— he wasn’t even close to becoming a demigod yet.
However, listening to Milia’s report as well as gaining a deeper understanding of the Hounds division under her, Sol got a good grasp of the overall scenario.
It seemed like Nefertiti went above and beyond his wildest imagination. She was quite literally building a religion in his name, using his title of the Dragon Emperor as cover.
