I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 1561 - 868: You’re a Demigod? (2)
"We also didn’t expect those Abyss Evil Gods to pay such a high price, something like this has never occurred before..."
"All Gods believe that an unprecedented epic battle is inevitable."
"Indeed."
Lis nodded, understanding the Church of the Gods’ concerns.
In comparison, while the Abyss Evil Gods also harbor enmity towards the Order Gods and covet Gaia Main World, their internal conflicts are even greater.
This is one of the characteristics of the Endless Abyss.
Thus, in previous conflicts and confrontations, the power of the Abyss Evil Gods was difficult to unify.
Although there are similar issues among the Gods, they are nowhere near as intense as the confrontations among the Evil Gods.
Therefore, the united action of the Abyss Evil Gods this time did indeed puzzle the Church of the Gods.
They started exploring what changes occurred within the Endless Abyss, but thus far, there has been no valuable discovery.
Lis was also not well-informed about this situation.
Although in a previous life an Abyss Blood Battle erupted, engulfing the entire world in war, what exactly happened behind the scenes was a secret of the divine level.
The players knew very little about this.
And Lis was no exception.
"However, we have you to thank this time, Lis."
Morris looked at Lis, sincerely saying:
"Whether it’s here at Danerluo Port or the assistance of the Pan-Continent Mage Association, it’s been a huge help!"
"I heard you became the Fourth Councilman of the Pan-Continent Mage Association, I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you... cough, cough!"
Before he could finish speaking, Morris couldn’t help but cough a few more times.
This was somewhat abnormal.
You have to know, Morris is a Legendary Priest, and ordinary injuries can easily recover.
But his current state seemed even older than when they last met.
"Were you injured in the dungeon before?"
Lis nodded and asked upon seeing the situation.
A verdant glow appeared in his hand, gently falling on Morris.
"Thank you, I feel much better."
Seeing the overflowing life force from Lis’s hand, Morris did not refuse and, after closing his eyes to feel it for a moment, said to Lis:
"The power left behind by that Demigod Beast is eroding my body, solving it poses some trouble."
"I see."
Lis could feel the life force he was transferring into Morris seemed to be gradually devoured by a special power.
This should be the reason why Morris hasn’t recovered yet.
"But, you’re thinking of a solution, right?"
Lis shook his head and said.
The power of a Demigod Level Abyssal Demon is indeed formidable and strange, but who is Morris?
He is a Legendary Priest of the God of Dawn!
Even if he can’t solve these things with his own power, praying for a gift from the God of Dawn should not be difficult.
Divine beings rarely respond to their believers, but they pay considerable attention to a Saint like Morris.
"I don’t want to solve it prematurely..."
Morris shook his head and said:
"By utilizing the power left in my body, I can sense and pinpoint the location of that Magic Beast."
"This is very important for the overall battle!"
"... Admirable."
Lis looked at Morris in front of him with some admiration.
Such a choice is not something an ordinary person could make.
From what he could sense, with such evil power inside, along with the loss of life and strength, it also comes with tremendous pain.
Otherwise, a Legendary Priest like Morris wouldn’t be so devastated in a short time.
Yet, being able to locate that Demigod Beast because of this is critical for the dungeon’s battlefront.
"Since you’re here, Morris, was the one who injured you that Demigod Beast in the Kaleel Dungeon on the Fanor Continent?"
Lis inquired toward Morris.
In eight continents’ dungeons, under the covert arrangements of the Evil God, Demigod Beasts successfully emerged in three dungeons.
One of them is the Kaleel Dungeon in the Fanor Continent!
This dungeon is located in the southern part of the Archibald Kingdom in the middle of the Fanor Continent and was originally just a small to mid-sized dungeon.
However, under mysterious influence, the dungeon began to expand and spread wildly, becoming a large dungeon area.
Simultaneously, it has become a place nurturing Demigod Beasts on the Fanor Continent.
And since Morris is present, he likely cannot be here to determine the location of Demigod Beasts in other continents, right?
"Indeed it is."
Morris nodded and then looked at Lis.
He sensed that Lis seemed to be planning something.
As for Lis, who is the World Tree Favored, Morris maintained a relatively calm attitude.
Lis, who rose like a comet, did bring a considerable amount of surprise or rather "astonishment" to everyone.
However, comparing Lis with previous World Tree Favored, Morris found Lis’s performance to be rather normal.
The only pity was if Lis had been born a bit earlier, it would have been better.
With the onset of the dungeon wars, Morris has picked up an increasingly intense sense of danger.
The conflict between the Church of the Gods and the God believers is becoming more intense, signaling the advent of an ultimate battle.
Lis’s rapid increase in power was staggering, yet ultimately he’s just a Legend.
Morris doesn’t assume Legends aren’t powerful, he himself is just a Legendary Priest.
But the reality is, the power of a Legend is substantial, yet in a scenario like this dungeon war, it doesn’t play a decisive role.
Let alone the future ultimate battle.
Morris believes, with Lis’s talent, given enough time, he definitely could grow into a far more powerful realm, reaching those supreme domains.
But now, it’s just a case of having the will but not the power.
The Abyss Evil Gods and those God believers’ attacks on Lis previously attest to their critical view of him.
If possible, the Church of the Gods would prefer Lis not appear on the front lines.
Comparing Lis’s current strength, the Church of the Gods has more faith in Lis’s future.
This is also what regrets Morris.
He had no doubt if Lis appeared in the dungeons, those Demigod Beasts would emerge and try to kill him.
Such a risk is not something the Church of the Gods or Morris would want to see.
So, Morris hopes Lis stays in the rear, without any adventurous ideas.
"I don’t like to say this, but Lis, your presence in the dungeon now is exceedingly dangerous."
Morris carefully worded and said.
"Though unsure of what you intend, the situation hasn’t deteriorated to such an extent."
"... Several Saints are already here, those Demigod Beasts cannot leave the dungeon."
After hesitating for a moment, Morris chose to disclose this crucial move by the Church of the Gods to Lis.
So, the demigods from the Church of the Gods have intervened?
Lis touched his chin, pondering.
Moments later, he looked at Morris and asked:
"Your point is... if those Demigod Beasts don’t leave the dungeon, there’s no way?"
"That’s correct."
Morris nodded and said.
"Why? With the Saints’ power, defeating these newly emerged Demigod Beasts shouldn’t be that difficult, right?"
Lis asked.
"But they may have equivalents to the Saints on their side as well."
Morris sighed and continued:
"And even though the Saints attempt, as soon as they enter the dungeon, even if we’ve locked onto the Demigod Beast, we have no means to track them down."
"This is likely due to deliberate evasion of the Saints’ search efforts."
"And the special environment within the dungeon also makes it easier for the beasts to hide."
"So, what if I step forward?"
Lis said with a smile.
"Those Demigod Beasts would surely attempt to attack you, but if they detect the presence of the Saints, they wouldn’t appear."
"If the Saints are too far from you, you’d be in grave danger, and there’s hardly any need to do so."
Morris guessed what Lis had in mind and explained to him.
"I think the real danger should be him..."
Lis said with a smile, reaching out and revealing his hidden power.
"... What?!!"
Feeling the aura emanating from Lis, Morris felt suffocated.
This profound and sacred, yet oppressing sense intimidating sense made Morris involuntarily recall the time when he, as a Little Priest, faced the Pope.
What is going on?
The only answer for the current threat and oppressive feeling he harbors now is likely one!
Demigod?!!!
Usually calm, Morris totally lost his composure, staring intently at Lis in disbelief.
