Chapter 2045: Ascension of Dagon
?
The sanctuary that is protected and where the God Dagon was sealed has been reached by the Pantheon guild members. As soon as some of them entered the divine domain via landing, they can already feel the oppressive aura that emanated from the large lake located in the middle. The lake is where the God Dagon was sealed and where he is also currently residing as its waters could be said to have been bathe in his divine essence.
[You are in the domain of a god.]
The other guild members that barely have any divinity in them started to feel a bit queasy. They felt sick as they could not create a divine energy film to protect themselves from the effects of the enormous amount of divine energy in the area. They can only huddle up with their guild master who can be seen easily floating about as his cloak made him levitate when he wants to. Adrian rarely uses this function as he wanted to walk in the game as he is now close to being fully rehabilitated.
"It is getting a bit difficult to breathe as well." One of the guild members stated.
"Can you protect them, Peridot? You are probably the only one that could extend a large barrier and exert your presence as a dragon." Adrian stated as his aura is also very oppressive when used with others.
Peridot's aura is that of a Fairy Dragon which is said to be protectors of the moon and its light. They are dragons that symbolize protection during the night and those that ward off evil beings. Peridot easily did as Adrian said and created a calming barrier of light that made it easy for the other guild members to move and breathe.
"I guess this is also a learning experience for all of you. If you find yourself in a place like this with thick divine energy or an unknown energy where you cannot breathe or move easily then you might have stumbled on a god's domain or a being that has equal power." Adrian stated as he proceeded to give Altum the Eye of the Deep.
"Thank you, guild master." Altum stated as he started to walk towards the lake where mist enveloped.
The Pantheon guild followed behind Altum, and they were now at least five meters away from the lake. As soon as they got near, invisible beings that were shrouded in mist could be seen. Deep Ones that looked mightier and fiercer than Altum himself suddenly appeared. They are the guards of the God Dagon when he is in slumber since gods that have physical bodies need rest.
"My patron! Please accept this humble offering of the Eye of the Deep. An item that is much needed in your ascension." Altum stated as he dropped the Eye of the Deep into the lake.
A little while later, the lake started to churn as a large being that dwarfed the size of a normal person appeared. A being that has the head of a fish and dragon hybrid with an upper torso of a fish and human hybrid. A lower body that is of a snake and fish tail combined that has scales that glimmered in a dark light.
[You are now in front of the God Dagon.]
[All of your stats will decrease by 20% as you are in the presence of a powerful divine being.]
"Greetings, friends of my Champion. I am the God Dagon. The God of Life and Father of the Deep Ones. It is also very nice to see Champion Equinox again but you have already risen to the ranks of mediator so I should call you as such." The God Dagon stated.
"It is also nice seeing you as well, the God Dagon. Although, your place as a god of life is still not polished... I believe that the current mythical tier items we have given you are enough for you to ascend." Adrian stated.
"Yes, Mediator Equinox. You have done well in delivering the items that I have asked you to. You also did a great job of raising my champion into a powerful fighter. I know that it is not just your effort but also the ones here as well. I am very thankful that my champion has gained some companions.
He was very much a loner when he was with me. I thought that he would never get any friends but now he has many. Seeing this scene before me has brought me joy that I would not have anymore regrets ascending." The God Dagon stated as he looked at Altum like he was a son to him.
"Thank you for your words." Altum bowed as the God Dagon is still a god to him even if he is treated like a son.
"So, how is the process of ascension? Do you need help fusing the two items?" Adrian asked as he could see that the Eye of the Deep and another mythical tier item floated near the God Dagon.
The Eye of the Deep is an orb that looks like the depths of the ocean is trapped inside of it. The other item is rather different as it looked like a stone carving of a school of fishes being protected by a bigger and older fish. Both of the items emitted a powerful glow that can easily give anyone the impression that they are indeed items deserving of the mythical tier.
Adrian inspected it and it is an item called a Fish Father's Protection. It is a mythical tier item that was actually considered useless by the merfolk that Altum bought it from. It might have been a mythical tier item but all it did was give luck to people that are fathers or father figures. The merfolk also does not worship gods as they were created by the Devil God Vepar and were told to do what they want.
"Do not worry about that Mediator Equinox. I can fuse them myself as I have stored enough power in this lake to do so." The God Dagon stated as he suddenly controlled the lake water to envelope the two mythical tier items.
A dazzling light erupted from the lake as the divine power that has seeped in it is being used by the God Dagon to fuse the two items together. The scene of the water swirling in numerous colored lights created a spectacular scene as rainbows erupted due to the light being refracted by the curtain of water. Adrian felt the divine energy in the area grow less as it was all being used to fuse two mythical tier items together.
The God Dagon did not look like he was having any difficult time, but one can see that he is even enjoying it. It did not take long as the two mythical tier items finally fused but the divine energy in the lake fell to about 10% in purity. Still, this lake still held the divine energy of the God Dagon which meant that it still can be called a holy lake.
"Finally, it is complete." The God Dagon stated as he suddenly looked a bit sad because he will now leave his creations behind.
The Eye of the Deep and the Fish Father's Protection created a Transcendent tier item that is called the Deep Father's Protection. It looked like a crystal orb that is filled with gold and silver carvings of a protective father fish in the depths of the ocean floor. This symbolized the God Dagon as he is the Father of the Deep Ones.
"Deep Ones, my children. You will gain more intelligence once I ascend but know that I will always be with you. I will always watch all of you and give you, my protection. To the ones that helped me get to this point, I am extremely grateful. My children, please do good as we have been accepted by this world despite being driven out from our own." The God Dagon stated as the Deep Father's Protection suddenly turned into particles of light that seeped into
his body.
"I guess this is finally it. Please watch over us." Altum stated as he smiled and bowed towards the God Dagon as the latter turned into a shard of light.
The God Dagon's body that turned into a shard of light then shot towards the heavens. Adrian looked up and thought he saw a gate and a humanlike version of the God Dagon enter it. He also thought he saw the Goddess of Life Freyja welcome the God Dagon. He asked the others that looked above but all they saw is that the sky became colored with a golden hue.
[The God Dagon has been added to the pantheon for the Gods of Life.]
[The God of Life Dagon, who oversees life in the depths and Father of the Deep Ones.]
[All those that pray to the God of Life Dagon will have the Blessings of the Depths and guidance of a fatherly figure.]
