Chapter 1101 Cap 1099: Divine Servant Part 2
?
I wasn't even surprised by what Elizabeth said, I have no idea what a Divine Servant is, to begin with, but I already have Divine Beasts, 2 High Priestesses, 3 Heroes, and 1 Saint on my account, all this without considering that I'm a Demigod, so what's one more fart for someone who's already reigning on the porcelain bathroom throne.
Elizabeth herself has said that she could have become a Goddess if only she wanted to, which makes me happy as there seems to be some choice because even a blind man can see where my path is leading, I don't want to become a God and I'm happy to make the same choice as Elizabeth to remain a Demigod at best.
"You said you're almost a Divine Servant, so can I just get rid of him or stop him from becoming one?" (I)
"Before answering that you must understand what a Divine Servant is." (Elizabeth)
"That seems obvious, the title is pretty self-explanatory, someone who serves the Gods." (I)
"He seems to have some misunderstanding." (Natasha)
"Let Elizabeth handle this, I want to enjoy the show, want some cookies?" (Caitlyn)
"No, I prefer my wine." (Natasha)
I look at Caitlyn with a bowl full of tree-shaped cookies in her hands as she floats on her pillow, Natasha was no different having sat back with a smile on her face as she had an oversized glass bottle in hand.
I didn't like what the two were talking about, it seems I got lost at some point and committed a misunderstanding.
"I knew you wouldn't understand, a Divine Servant may be a title that some mortal clergy of a religion have a chance of earning, but the Divine Servant I'm talking about is a Race." (Elizabeth)
"The Celestines were long ago created to serve the Gods, but ultimately they are still mortal creatures, they can serve the Gods in a physical world among other Mortals." (Elizabeth)
"But unlike in the distant past when the Gods were still able to personally govern Mortals, now they kept themselves aloof by acting in more indirect ways while only guiding their believers, so the Celestines were no longer sufficient as servants." (Elizabeth)
"In order to have assistants, servants, guardians, as well as others willing to directly serve the Gods as the link between their Divine Realms and the world of Mortals, each God Created Divine Servants for themselves." (Elizabeth)
Elizabeth explains as she points to the spooky Ghost Woman who doesn't like Caitlyn, it seems clear to see that Elizabeth implies that this woman is a Servant of God, so she nods to Thalia who begins to speak.
"A Divine Servant is both a race name and a title, but if you look just at the name you will be able to see how broad its meaning is." (Thalia)
"Keila is a Divine Servant, her body made by the Goddess herself and for her Soul to inhabit." (Thalia)
"Divine Servants have many different roles, whether as Guards, servants, assistants, Taboo Hunters or Guardians." (Thalia)
"I am one of many attendants of the Goddess Kalistos." (Keila)
"Among Divine Servants, being called a Taboo Hunter is the worst form of insult, that's because it is Divine Servants who forcefully have their bodies extinguished and forced to obey for eternity." (Elizabeth)
"They are slaves to the Gods and therefore only the worst are condemned to it." (Elizabeth)
"A Divine Servant has no power of his own and uses the power of his God, that's one of the reasons that only Gods can create Divine Servants, they create a body for them and also..." (Elizabeth)
"To be more precise, not just the body, the Soul is also remade so that we are no longer Mortals, our essence, skills, emotions, memories, and consciousness can be preserved if our God allows it, which most do." (Keila)
"With the exception of Taboo Hunters, whose emotions are removed." (Elizabeth)
This issue escalated very, very quickly and I don't like the direction it's taking at all.
"You said it yourself, your Curse continually destroys and heals the body as it is consumed, and the same can be said of the mind or Soul." (Elizabeth)
Elizabeth turns to me as she points to the cocoon, I can't deny what she said, then she turns to The overdressed woman who also looks like a Phantom
"How do you feel about this Cocoon?" (Elizabeth)
"His essence remains, but the Soul is new and clearly grossly altered." (Thalia)
As she spoke her eyes turned cold as she turned towards me, but the woman called Keila was giving me a really scary look from the beginning and only now I seem to understand the reason for that.
The Goddess Kalistos hates those who mess with death in the wrong way and apparently, that's exactly what I did this time, I immediately bow towards this Thalia.
"I apologize, it wasn't my intention to do something your Goddess disapproves of, I acted on impulse with the Curse and didn't think that..." (I)
"Lift the person, I accept your apology, you are someone cherished by death, but you should avoid trying to create a Soul." (Thalia)
"I haven't tried..." (I)
"Actually he didn't try, he managed to create one from the fragments of other Souls." (Keila)
"The Soul of this person from the Temple of Law was not even close to being enough when his Curse devoured the Soul fragments, the survival instinct is something that all creatures in existence possess, and as such this thing tried to complete what was lacking." (Keila)
"I imagined something like that when I saw only Corrupted Souls being completely absorbed." (Elizabeth)
"These Souls cannot even be called that anymore, their essences have been lost leaving only the shell of a Soul." (Thalia)
"Which was all this thing needed, I see." (Elizabeth)
"But I don't understand, how the Curse can do that, I didn't give it that kind of function." (I)
"You said it yourself, the Curse was meant to devour a mind and Souls broken and corrupted by Demon Energy, so you changed that mind and Soul before letting your Curse devour it by making a second change." (Thalia)
"Your Curse merged with the essence and became the basis for a new Soul, but to do so it used the fragments of the original Soul and many other Souls too weak to resist." (Thalia)
"The intact Souls still inside aren't capable of being devoured because they're intact, but they must be serving as a model somehow." (Thalia)
"Yes, the Soul is trying to take a form at the same time as creating a body, I can see that." (Keola)
"I didn't know what that thing was at first, which is why I threw so many people in there." (Elizabeth)
"Everyone's life energy has already been gathered along with the traces of Holy Power and a lot of Demonic energy." (Keila)
"Also, there is no body other than the formless mass that is currently this thing's body." (Keila)
"There's no way to..." (I)
"No, he will be what he is." (Elizabeth)
"But if you want to stop it, you can kill him now, before he's born." (Elizabeth)
"Born..." (I)
I look at the cocoon, I don't want to have more problems, and certainly, the simple fact of having a Divine Servant can draw attention in my direction, but they spoke of being born and a new Soul, so this is no longer the Judge I applied this punishment.
"(This is a different person trying to be born...)" (I)
I was conflicted in my mind about what to do, but that conflict only lasted a little longer than 10 seconds, which was more than bad enough for me to know that it took me this long to make this decision.
"(I can't stop someone innocent from being born just because it's troublesome for me when it's all my fault.)" (I)
"(This is my responsibility, so screw the rest, my luck will always be awful anyway.)" (I)
"Are you sure he's going to be born?" (I)
"He has everything but not the certainty of anything, he needed Divine power and he got it from the Evil God his Sisters threw to him." (Thalia)
"A fool inhabiting a body by force, I didn't even have to fight, he was more than weakened." (Caitlyn)
"..." (I)
"I don't care about that thing, I just want the Souls." (Keila)
"They'll probably be released soon..." (Thalia)
This stalemate took a few more hours, it seems that the Souls that left were completely blank, the power of their accumulated lives was gone and nothing of their consciousness was left, they were taken away with ease, which was all I needed.
"I already know what to do with it..." (I)
"< Shadow Prison >" (I)
I had already approached the cocoon and settled in it, I'm sure it's not harmful to me and so I keep it in my shadow once again, I already have an idea of what to do, but I can't do it here and now.
"I'm glad I didn't take the easy way out and face up to my responsibilities." (Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
Elizabeth is starting to annoy me with all these stupid tests and so I ignore her and walk away talking to Vanessa, Alice, and Silvia about what I thought, Silvia was a great help to supplement what I lacked in knowledge about what I needed.
