Chapter 355 Chapter354-The Demigod Tier
An enigmatic energy pervaded John, observable under his scrutiny.
This power converged together, like a nascent flame, and without waiting for John to introspect his bodily state, the flame flickered subtly, fueled by arrogance.
With greed serving as kindling—snap!
A flame burst forth in an instant, and beneath its feeble glow, John examined his own physique, which was shuddering incessantly. Wave after wave of negative emotions assailed his psyche.
No!
John exerted all his might to suppress the emotions within him.
They spread like ink in water, seeping into his psyche, threatening to overwhelm him with negativity.
Deep within the abyss...
There, in the depths, lay the domain of arrogance, a gathering place for ancient demons, all fierce and malicious, prostrating before a six-winged dark angel.
Lucifer, with eyes a sanguine red, stared fixedly at the sky.
He sensed a kindred essence.
Someone was attempting to become a demigod using the power of the abyss.
He felt an encroachment upon the divine authority.
In his hand materialized a smear of black light, which descended and slew the demons kneeling on the ground.
Infinite soul power swept up within the black column of light, piercing into the heavens...
Beneath Lucifer\'s black pupils, as he looked toward the sky, he spoke to the kneeling demons:
"Hmph?!"
This cold snort sent a shiver through the many abyssal demons.
A massive clump of flesh swarmed with flies.
When the black flies approached the flesh, they split apart—one became two, and in a short time...
The entire mass of flesh turned into a breeding ground for flies.
Beelzebub, the Lord of Flies, emerged from the mass of flesh, a symbol of gluttony...
Demons of desire, demons of wrath...
The seven demons gathered together, all casting their gazes toward Lucifer with expressions reveling in the misfortune.
Although their realms were being eroded, such triviality paled in significance compared to Lucifer—the most formidable demon in the abyss.
Beelzebub, gnawing on a bone picked from the ground, taunted Lucifer:
"Oh great Lucifer, my friend, it seems your might wanes, a thief has filched your strength."
His schadenfreude was palpable as he looked toward Lucifer with a semblance of pity.
Lucifer\'s lips twitched slightly at the sight of the King of Ghosts but paid little heed to his words.
Instead, he continued with a cold snort:
"It\'s but a rat. I\'ve already forced a part of my power through the abyss. That rat... cannot survive under my hand."
His voice carried a chilling frostiness.
...
As Lucifer\'s power burst through the abyss...
At that moment, John was at a critical juncture of the God Flame\'s convergence, his body turning strangely beguiling.
A surge of energy broke through spatial confinement, heading straight for the instance of the Twelve Trials of the Hero.
John felt the power steadily infiltrating his body!
His gaze grew solemn as he beheld this force.
His body, once a blend of sanctity and malevolence.
The balance of yin and yang was disrupted at this moment!
Under the Zero Time Difference Calculation, his physique was evolving in an irreversible direction.
His entire being, like a stone, was incessantly crumbling and reassembling!
Awaiting John\'s attention to return to... this force.
At this moment, John\'s body was like shattered fragments of stone, continuously merging and reconstituting!
[Ding Dong! Player Galewind detected as being disturbed by an unknown power!]
[Warning, this is the power of the abyss!]
[The terminus of all evil, the confluence of all sins.]
...
As the system continued its relentless alerts, a solemn intensity coalesced in John\'s eyes, while at the same time the power within his body took on a more sinister nature. However...
His divine techniques!
The Divine Skills he had acquired: Divine Blade, Shape-shifting...
All manifested behind him, waves of sacred power began to cleanse the abyssal magic, enigmatic, mystical, and pure, gathering toward John like saints descending from the heavens.
In Sage Mode, John\'s eyes narrowed slightly.
Gazing at these surges of power, a sense of joy began to emerge within him.
He looked at his own body, as the sanctified force gradually calmed his once-agitated form.
John took a deep breath, and the dark power began to settle, no longer appearing so wild.
The two forces started to intertwine, to merge, gradually becoming equal under the guidance of Zero Time Difference Calculation.
He, John, at this moment, was an interweaving of sanctity and malevolence.
Like a demon of the abyss, yet also like an angel from above, he was the interlacing faction of evil and good.
He was neutral!
Neutrality didn\'t mean indifference, rather, it was a matter of choice driven by his own predilections.
A demigod, ascending to divinity!
Dual divinity, where the abyssal God Flame and the sacred God Flame entwined.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to player for igniting the God Flame: Abyss!]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to player for igniting the God Flame: Sanctity!]
The two God Flames interwove incessantly, and John\'s body began to attain tranquility.
In this moment.
In the Garden of Eden, a blond man with profound eyes gazed ahead:
"Two God Flames, deifying together, should he truly reach that step."
"This world will enter a new era!"
...
The man\'s figure silently vanished, and tranquility once again reigned.
John teleported out of the instance, materializing within the dilapidated church.
Boulanger\'s murky eyes widened in surprise upon seeing John:
"You\'ve actually... come out, that\'s wonderful, has the abyssal power been resolved?"
When the church\'s Priest turned to John, his tone was fervent.
His voice trembled slightly, and his clouded eyes glistened with tears.
John faced Boulanger and spoke:
"Revered Priest, I have prepared a small gift for you. I\'m not sure if it will please you."
After these words, John brought forth the God Seed in his hand.
He placed it before Boulanger, who felt a profound connection with the God Seed, a glimmer of clarity shining in his eyes.
As the God Seed touched his palm, it began to dissolve slowly.
John looked on as Boulanger\'s hands turned into specks of light.
His body, too, transformed into sacred luminescence.
A formidable power emerged within Boulanger.
The system, under its scanning protocol, could not detect it.
But when John applied Zero Time Difference Calculation to scan Boulanger, he was astonished to find that Boulanger\'s body was like a gemstone.
A crystal clear jewel emerged from what was once a decaying form.
He looked at Boulanger in amazement and said:
"Such a potent force."
Boulanger\'s beard, once matted with the murk of the earth, now shone with brilliant light, and the decaying aura within his body began to dissipate.
Using Zero Time Difference Calculation, John arrived at a conclusion:
In the abyssal game, even if the same person struck the same blow under different circumstances, the damage would fluctuate.
Not to mention the variations brought about by a single breath, a minute movement difference—these were the invisible stats!
Changes in one\'s psyche, the frequency of breaths, physical condition, injuries, and such, all could alter one\'s stats significantly.
John regarded the church\'s now enhanced warrior, Boulanger.
His augmentation under the Zero Time Difference Calculation was not a matter of these subtle differences.
After merging with the God Seed, he seemed to have become a different person—his demeanor transformed, his beard turned pristine white, and his previously parched and yellowed skin began to change.
And it wasn\'t just the physical attributes—John felt that, at this moment, Boulanger\'s mana was as vast as an ocean.
He pushed up his glasses, only to realize he wasn\'t wearing any!
Embarrassedly lowering his hand, he resumed Zero Time Difference Calculation, a little quirk of his to push up non-existent glasses.
Everyone has a unique talent.
In the game, from top-tier class players to ordinary gamers, everyone has their moments of brilliance, not to mention the natives within the game.
One must know, this Boulanger was hailed as the most gifted warrior within the church.
As his aura transformed, the entire sixth layer began to stir as if mountains and seas were roaring.
The once tainted villagers\' eyes started to clear, energy sweeping across…
Boulanger\'s body, gradually shifting from wild and uncontrollable, stabilized, retracting his power, becoming a serene and benevolent old Priest—different from his initial crazed state.
Waiting for Boulanger\'s condition to stabilize, he then took John and burst out of the Twelve Trials of the Hero, ascending to the skies above Storm City.
A boundless aura of might manifested as they left the confines of the instance.
Boulanger, the mighty figure absent for a millennium, officially returned!
Pope Xitell gazed at the sky, murmuring:
"Great-grandfather."
Half-divine in power, his return sent a shockwave that had the twelve council members of the Storm Kingdom staring in awe towards Storm City!
With Boulanger\'s return, the continent gained a demigod of immense power.
After merging with the God Seed, he acquired divinity.
Only steps away from ascending to godhood, he was on the verge of becoming the highest being on the continent—a deity!
John said with a sly smile:
"Congratulations on reclaiming your original strength."
With a compassionate touch, Boulanger patted John\'s head:
"Thank you, my child. The Storm Church shall forever be your staunchest support!"
John\'s eyes narrowed slightly; he understood the enormity of that promise.
The Storm Church, as the state religion of the Storm Kingdom, was replete with mighty warriors and many a hidden entity.
And that included control over thunder and lightning...
