Chapter 574 - 0574: Making Good Use (Additional 2800, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
At the square.
The crowd was first silent, then immediately plunged into great chaos and uproar.
Luckily, their current state couldn’t affect Antonio, the emperor of the empire, who was entirely focused on taking the last step.
What was even more shocking was the reaction of Bru, the heir.
He certainly knew about Occupational Persons, but his father was supposed to be just a [Berserker]!
How could he be so powerful?
“Could it be…Father is a powerhouse hidden solely by the royalty?”
At this moment, his eyes glowed. He felt like his life was about to take flight and marrying a marquis or even a duke’s daughter wasn’t just a dream!
“Who is he?”
“A powerhouse hidden by the royalty?”
“Such a terrifying feeling… he’s even more powerful than Marquis Nicholas!”
…
More profoundly feeling Su Lu’s terror than the onlooking crowd were the passengers on the White Eagle.
“We’ve gathered the power of all Occupational Persons, coupled with this Divine Artifact, how could we possibly be stopped by one Occupational Person?”
An astrologer of mythical level immediately started divination, and promptly received a revelation: “He is… the Commander of the Palace Guards – Gregory!”
Stephen: “…”
Alfred: “…”
All those present were wearing expressions of ‘are you kidding me’.
How could such a being possibly be a gatekeeper?
“Be careful…he should be some evil existence, seizing Gregory’s outer skin and lurking inside the palace under his identity.”
Saint Dominic said solemnly.
Everyone present took a deep breath.
Because the Pope addressed it as ‘it’, it immediately let them know that they were to face a terrifying enemy!
“No wonder…only a divine could so misunderstand my divinations, right?”
The sixth-tier astrologer muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he saw a ripple in the Spirit World, and a young man in a white robe walked out.
The young man’s face seemed to have countless mysterious runes and symbols superimposed, like an endless kaleidoscope, instantly attracting all his mind.
Endless colors burst forth before his eyes.
Slap! Slap!
The astrologer’s mythical body couldn’t withstand this level of ‘terror’! His two eyeballs burst directly, and some unspeakable, indescribable things tried to bore into his mind.
His body was torn apart, his soul was shattered, some terrible knowledge was born, spreading, trying to give birth to other personalities, taking over all of him.
The body of the astrologer exploded again and again, and worms and tentacles grew out from the wounds.
But the properties of the mythical body were actively healing these injuries, repeating the cycle, making him feel like he was enduring cyclic torture.
“God said… let there be light!”
Saint Dominic chanted loudly.
A dazzling layer of light enveloped their eyes, so they could no longer look directly at God, they could only see a human-shaped radiance.
However, the Occupational Persons who were hurt by looking directly at the divine could not recover, and the Federation’s military strength was nearly depleted.
“Great divine…Are you going to oppose the lady who holds the splendid Light, the Dominator of Light?”
Saint Dominic stared at the human-shaped radiance in front of him and said in a deep voice.
“Ants, don’t try to measure me with your pathetic thoughts!”
Su Lu raised his hand again.
All of a sudden, he felt a bit surprised.
His mentality seemed to have changed considerably after becoming a divine being.
He was looking down on all beings below the seventh tier, viewing them as mere ants. Just now, due to the overwhelming emotions in his heart, he wanted to kill everyone present!
‘Has my nature been distorted by power? No… is it just because I’ve gained great power, I can’t wait to try to destroy things, just like a child wants to show off when he gets a new toy?’
Su Lu calmly dissected his own soul.
This was a trick he used to comfort himself after becoming a god.
He wanted to be the master of power, not its servant.
‘I destroy with purpose, not unintentionally!’
After understanding this point, he knew he still had to take action.
Especially when his gaze swept across and saw many familiar faces, like the minister of the Theology Department—Alfred!
And within the church, several presences felt somewhat familiar to him, suspected to be the ancestors of the Pottery family, the [Sacred Warrior] and [Guardian of God]!
However, during his moment of hesitation, the occupational people on the opposite side finally reacted.
One after another, bodies of myths appeared.
Especially the clergy from the Church of the Goddess of Light.
Giant angels with four or six pairs of white wings appeared around the White Eagle, like escorting fighter planes.
Saint Dominic held a scripture, turned to a new page, and said, “God said…let mortals return to mortals!”
A halo of white light emerged from the scripture.
Many angels got a boost, and the light on them suddenly surged.
“A divine artifact?”
Su Lu realized that the pope was not using the divine artifact for attack, but only to buy time and let the White Eagle escape his lock!
A group of regular occupational people, fighting against divine spirits, were not brave, but simply foolish!
As long as they could get the White Eagle’s ability to traverse the spirit world going, they might be able to escape.
“Without entering the divine realm, what use is holding a divine artifact?”
Su Lu looked at everyone on the ship with pity, then suddenly took out a sheepskin scroll.
He didn’t have a divine artifact, but a demigod artifact would do.
And, he could also try out a new ability that it recently displayed.
Su Lu began to chant in a lyrical tone:
“In the dark abyss, thoughts wriggle between the magma…Decay and death surround all, the giant scorpions move through the stench …”
“This is the first chapter, the peaceful verses, they bloom in tranquility. Allow your spirit to separate from your body and listen to the wonderful voices.”
“It is waiting for someone who understands… Whether the person comes or not, whether it’s you or not, it will always be there and will always be with the Abyss …”
While reciting the verses, Su Lu began to perform ‘Divination’.
Dream Spirit World, Abyss Verses, Divination…
All the preconditions were met.
The next moment.
Everyone was in the Abyss, the real Abyss!
A horrifying figure that couldn’t be hidden even by the glow of the divine artifact appeared.
Even if they didn’t want to see it and tried to cover it up, it still couldn’t be stopped.
It appeared in the mirage-like illusion, as if it had appeared directly at the bottom of everyone’s hearts.
“Demon!!!”
The Pope let out a piercing roar.
Eerie things happened again!
…
“To send the followers of the Goddess to meet the abyss and the demon, I indeed have a warped sense of humor!”
The next moment, Su Lu reappeared in the Dream Spirit World.
Being prepared made his recovery even faster this time.
But what about those followers of the Goddess? Without the divine realm and encountering the ‘Eerie’, they definitely stood no chance…
“This is not opportunism, it’s simply leveraging power…”
Su Lu muttered to himself. While he was in the Dream Spirit World, he suddenly had an inspiration.
A pentagram emblem emerged on his hand, and his expression became slightly solemn: “Why are they piled together?”
