Chapter 1383: Consuming a God (Part 1)

At this time, Jason had already recovered from his injuries. He saw that Saleen was using the Thundering Sound skill to convert the disciples and was even more satisfied with his student.

Those who only knew how to massacre others were not good mages. When mages progressed to the very end, they would surpass the gods. By relying on violent methods, it would be impossible to oppose those sly and wily gods. Even the Lord of Glory promised to give his disciples a splendid heavenly paradise.

Saleen had finally grown up, and he had now matured into a man.

Jason felt pleased and gratified. The elementary refining stages of his Rings of Water and Fire had also been successful. Now, the remaining troublesome part was to completely kill off the Weapon’s Spirits in the two rings. This required Saleen’s help. Jason did not have any more Six Elements’ Heavy Water with him as well. He had used it all up in order to refine the Rings of Water and Fire.

“Saleen!” Sika saw that Saleen had returned unnoticed and felt joy in her heart. Saleen had been gone for a total of six days and had “reformed” a total of 1,667,040 people. The remaining people had mostly died in the forest. A few who were stronger than grade-10 had been killed by the magic amplifier’s Weapon’s Spirit.

“Teacher.” Saleen first bowed to Teacher.

Jason smiled and said, “How does it feel?”

“Much better. Killing people is what it is, but the feeling of not killing is also very good. I will no longer lose myself in it,” Saleen replied.

“Mm. Then I will first ask you, what is to be done with these disciples?”

Saleen paused. He immediately realized that these disciples could not be left to develop in this interdimensional space. But to bring them all away?

Thankfully, in Nailisi’s 12 Notes of Purgatory, there was already a space that could contain humans. If he were to rely on a teleportation portal to transport them, he would not be able to bring everyone away even if he exhausted all his resources and bankrupted himself.

Mm, Teacher had suddenly asked this...

Saleen’s heart suddenly went cold. How had Fycro brought so many people here?

It should be known that he had only reformed a third of the disciples. There had still been more disciples who had died in the forest. With such a great number, as well as the large amount of equipment and supplies on each person, how had Fycro brought them all here?

“Indeed, Fycro’s divine kingdom could only be a prototype. He is a pseudogod and cannot start up a divine kingdom. Hence, this interdimensional space is somewhat dangerous. We need to completely seal off that spatial pathway.” As Jason said this mildly, Saleen broke out in cold sweat. Teacher was indeed more detail-oriented than him. This was such a big loophole, yet because he had been too excited, he had actually overlooked it.

Seeing that Saleen was somewhat dejected, Jason said, “It does not matter. Your speed of advancement was too quick and your body is still not that accustomed to it. That is why you slipped up in your calculations. Once you have crossed the great hurdle of attaining grade-13, such matters will no longer occur unless an even more powerful person is secretly using a skill to affect your thoughts.”

Saleen nodded and said, “Teacher, then I cannot stay here. There are things I must do.”

“Mm. My rank has surpassed grade-13 and it is too powerful. I can no longer seal my own strength. I cannot return to the Myers Continent. Here are three magic maps. They are all ancient ruins. My secret technique originated from such ruins. Go and take a look, and you will benefit.”

As Jason spoke, he retrieved three magic maps and handed them to Saleen. Two of the pieces were replicas, while the last piece was the original map.

Saleen did not think too much and kept them in the Ring of Cosmos.

“Saleen, your Violet Angel that controls the War Drum of Fear is extremely useful in battles between armies that are below grade-12, but he is somewhat weak.” Jason did not allow Saleen to leave immediately.

“Teacher, that...”

Because of the matter with Fycro in which Saleen’s calculations had had mistakes, he was now somewhat absent-minded.

“Take out your Lightning Cage.”

“Mm.” Saleen retrieved his Lightning Cage. He discovered that Fycro’s Incarnation was actually not dead and was actually planning to escape from the cage. But he was already...

“Saleen, I will ignite my divine fire again and will definitely exterminate your country! I will kill anyone related to you! I will wipe out all information about you from all planes!” Fycro’s Incarnation said through gritted teeth.

“It is useless. In the Lightning Cage, your curses are ineffective,” Saleen said to Fycro’s Incarnation with a cold expression.

“Hahahaha! Then what can you do to me? My original body has already escaped. If my original body is not dead, then you cannot kill me!” Fycro’s Incarnation laughed madly till he gasped for breath.

“Who said anything about killing you?” Jason smiled and said, “We merely wanted to consume you. Violet Angel!”

“I am here.”

The Violet Angel knew that Saleen was extremely respectful towards Jason. Jason’s orders were Saleen’s orders. In this aspect, he was much smarter than the Mechanical Soul. Once he had completely surrendered to Saleen, he no longer held any other intentions.

“If you consume this thing, you will evolve. Isn’t that right?” Jason asked in a patient and kind manner.

“Yes, Lord Jason. If I consume this pseudogod’s Incarnation, I will evolved. It could be to grade-11, or it could also be to grade-12. My original rank was all fake. Without Master Saleen to feed me power, I am just a pile of waste!” The Violet Angel had unknowingly adopted a musical tone, as if he was a disciple singing praises to a god.

“Will you betray my student?” Jason asked bluntly.

The Violet Angel contemplated and decided to speak the truth.

“Lord Jason, if I was to suddenly advance to that extent, it is possible that I would betray Master. Either don’t let me eat that thing, or add a contract or an even stronger Eternal Control shard to me before letting me eat it!” The Violet Angel said fawningly.

Jason glanced at Saleen and said, “You decide.”

“Rafel, can you digest his divine fire?” Saleen pointed at Fycro’s Incarnation in the Lightning Cage and asked.

“It’s just a thread of divine fire and I can control it, but...”

“You are worried that once you gain divine fire, you will become a pseudogod?” Saleen asked.

“Indeed. With the power of divine fire, I will return back to the path of becoming a god,” Rafel replied.

“I will purify this divine fire. Although it is only a thread, but it will be extremely beneficial to you. Rafel.”

“Alright, I will do my best to control it.” Rafel was also full of anticipation.

Fycro’s Incarnation had a cold and dark expression. He looked at Saleen, who was outside the cage, and did not know what he was thinking.

Saleen smiled and said, “Fycro, humans and gods are different. Before eating something, we must cook it. If you want to escape, it is impossible. If I do not cook you thoroughly, I would not let me subordinates touch even a hair on your body.”

Saleen’s words completely dashed Fycro’s hopes.

Saleen possessed lightning skills. Fycro knew that Saleen was not idly threatening him. The power of lightning was detested by all gods. Because even if they were gods, if they were shocked by electric currents for a long time, they would also go crazy.

Saleen’s Lighting Cage continuously released electric currents to shock him. Fycro’s Incarnation could feel that the god’s characteristics in his body were gradually disappearing. The energy was still there, but it could not longer be mobilized. In other words, that thread of divine fire would incinerate his entire body in the end. Saleen was now looking for someone to eat him because he did not want to waste anything.

He was just taking advantage of the time when he could still preserve the body to make use of some waste.

The most precious thing was that thread of divine fire. Even if it was pitifully little, but it contained the power of rules. This had the rules of light and the understandings that Fycro had gained when he had become a god, especially the rules of the Dissolving Light.

Yet he could only look on with his eyes wide open. Currently, he could not utilize the power of divine fire, otherwise he would rather burn himself into ashes than to allow Saleen to gain a god’s body so easily.

A pseudogod was also a god. This body was too valuable.

Saleen had originally planned to refine a puppet. It was only after Jason’s reminders that he recalled that his Violet Angel was very special and could consume enerygy. Furthermore, because of material reasons, even if the Violet Angel consumed Fycro at his peak, his stomach would still not be harmed.

“Saleen, let me go. I will tell you the secret to becoming a god.” Fycro suddenly became compliant.

“Fycro, if not for the fact that you wanted to seize this interdimensional space and trapped my wife and children here, I might still have pretended to agree with your conditions and let you be happy for a moment. To tell you the truth, amidst my subordinates, there are already two fellows who have ignited divine fire. I do not need your bullshit conditions at all. I only hope that you will die cleanly and will no longer come back to life. Gods are such troublesome fellows, all of them are not willing to die.”

When this part was mentioned in the conversation, Fycro was finally in despair. There were actually two gods amidst Saleen’s subordinates? It was definitely not Rafel. Although Rafel’s strength was very close to his, but she had not ignited divine fire.

If he only had known that Saleen would attain his current achievements. He should have strangled him to death at the beginning!

“Fycro, do you regret not killing me in the beginning?” Saleen asked while smiling slightly.

“Mm.”

“If we went back in time, you still would not kill me. Fycro, this is fate.” Saleen’s Thundering Sound could now deeply affect Fycro. Fycro was dejected.

“Even if I don’t really like this power, but I have no choice but to admit that an astrologer has more ways to deal with a god than a mage.” As Saleen said this, he retrieved four Star Gathering Needles.

Gaine had left four Star Figures to him. Each Star Figure responded to one Star Gathering Needle. Within the Star Gathering Needles, there was the Power of Constellations. Saleen tossed the Star Gathering Needles into the Lightning Cage, shooting them at the joints of Fycro’s four limbs.

The Power of Constellations fixed Fycro firmly in place. Saleen slapped his waist once, and a waterball flew out from a small gourd. The waterball floated to the light of the electricity and turned into a water current in an instant, flowing into the Lightning Cage. The water current carried lighting magic patterns within it, binding around Fycro’s neck with a few turns.

Only then did Saleen relax. He released the Lightning Constellation once again and told Dante, “You, use lightning to shock this fellow properly. I hope that he will faint completely.”

Dante’s severe wound had already become much better. Furthermore, dealing with this fellow whose limbs were unable to move really did not require much technique. Electric currents swiftly struck down for the Lightning Constellation and entered the Lightning Cage. Fycro, who had been shocked, was trembling all over his body. Such tremors were the body’s involuntary shaking movements and already had nothing to do with Fycro’s will.

“Fycro, thank you for this experience. Next time, when I deal with gods, I will no longer be frenzied and careless.” Saleen did not forget to add another stab to Fycro’s heart.

“Light...” Fycro coughed up this phrase from his throat with much difficulty, then fainted.

Only then did Saleen opened the Lightning Cage and say to Rafel, “There is only one thread of divine fire. The Seed of Divine Fire will definitely not be here. You can absorb it without any worries.”
