Chapter 228: Using human body to steal the throne of God!
The cage of fate was broken, and the Pope and Archbishop of the Church of Silence looked at the crowd that suddenly appeared, with different thoughts in their minds.
Simon looked solemn, and subconsciously gripped the giant hammer in his hand. As for the Pope of the Church of Silence, Gracettaf, she was wearing a crown that looked like a veil, so it was difficult to see her expression.
"Irving Aldridge!"
Grace Taff looked at the huge skeleton that appeared, and she almost shouted his name with gritted teeth.
"Gristafu, the Church of Silence has violated the contract between us."
Irving spoke slowly, and a hoarse and unpleasant sound came out of the huge skeleton.
Grace Taf did not speak, because it was indeed she who violated the contract first, but the Pope still said stubbornly: "The so-called contract exists to be torn up from the beginning.
Since you, Irwin, are incapable of guaranteeing the implementation of the contract, no one will comply with it!"
Irving strongly agrees with Grace Taff's theory, which has no sense of contract and is full of the law of the jungle.
The Undead Mage laughed unpleasantly: "You are right, Grace Taff, since there is not enough strength to maintain the contract, it should be torn up.
So naturally, you tore up the contract, and you are in a weaker position, so you should accept your failure."
Grace Taf remained silent, with countless thoughts swirling in her mind. She tried every possible way, but could not find a chance to escape.
Those who trapped her here at this time included Archmage Irvin of the Nine-Ring Necromancer School, Archmage Adolf of the Nine-Ring Prophecy School, and Archmage Mavis of the Eight-Ring Enchantment School.
As well as a nine-ring silver dragon, a girl named Sally who has been investigated by all the major churches and identified as the God of Corruption, and the Eternal Lady who has gradually recovered her strength and is using the body of a puppet.
In addition, Deya also demonstrated his eighth-ring strength, and he even mastered the abilities of the Silent Chanter.
It can be said that this is a dead end, no matter how powerful she is, she cannot escape this dead end.
Even Adolf, a wizard from the School of Prophecy, had already deprived her of the ability to escape. The School of Prophecy was not good at encounters that broke the prophecy.
But if you let the wizards of this school prepare in advance, you will find that you will be played by fate and you will not have the slightest chance at all.
Irving continued to persuade her, "Gristafu, we have known each other for many years. I even treat you as my daughter. Considering our relationship over the years, I hope you will not make the wrong choice.
We have set up a mystery lock here, and you have no chance of escape. Besides, you set a trap for Deya, and this cannot be entirely blamed on you. It was the gods behind you who asked you to do this."
Irving continued to persuade her, and his words also made Grace Taff somewhat shaken.
The Undead Mage continued, “I know very well that if you, as a priest, fail in your mission, you may even be deprived of your power by the gods.
But we in the Nine Rings Tower have a way to allow you to temporarily escape the gaze of the gods, so that the Singer of Silence cannot forcibly take away your abilities."
This sentence finally moved Grace Taff. She raised her head slightly, and said with her red lips without the veil: "Irwin, are you telling the truth?"
"I don't like lying, Grace Taff. You know my character very well. There's no need for me to lie to you about this kind of thing."
Pope Gracetta of the Silent Church took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If you can really do it, then I am willing to surrender."
The Pope is over two hundred years old, which is beyond the limit of human lifespan.
If the gods deprive her of her power, she will immediately age and die, so even if she surrenders she will only die, so she might as well give it a try.
But if Irvin had not deceived her and had prevented the gods from depriving her of the power of the Nine Rings, then Gracettaf would not want to die.
Her faith was not that strong.
"Simon, what are your options?"
Grace Taff asked the archbishop beside her.
The archbishop, who looked over fifty years old and had gray hair, thought for a moment and said, "I have no choice but to make the same choice as His Holiness the Pope."
"Since you have made your decision, then accept the constraints of the Nine Rings Tower on you."
After that, Irving and Adolf looked at each other, and they took out a magic prop, which looked like a pair of handcuffs.
Grace Taff and Simon silently let the magic handcuffs bind their wrists.
Of course, with such magic props, it is impossible to really restrain an eight-ring or even a nine-ring strong man.
After that, they will need to be temporarily detained in the Nine-Ring Tower, and the power of the Nine-Ring Tower will be used to imprison them.
Irwin explained: "Inside the Nine Rings Tower, there is a mystery lock left by the original wizard, which can easily avoid the sight of the gods.
In the Nine Rings Tower, even gods cannot arbitrarily deprive you of your power."
Grace Taff nodded slightly and said, "As the church thought, the Nine Rings Tower has a similar mystery lock, so the effect of divine magic there is very poor."
After a pause, she continued, "...I am a little confused. How did you know my plan and prepare in advance? Adolf, could it be that your power is able to predict what God will do?"
This order was issued by the Singer of Silence himself and is protected by the gods.
In theory, this plan should not be predictable by any prophetic magic.
But the masters of the Nine Rings Tower already knew all of this and had set an ambush for them.
“Gristafu, your years of experience as a priest have made you forget the importance of wisdom. Sometimes you rely too much on the power of magic.
As long as there is a subjective consciousness, no matter whether he is a human or a god, as long as he has a fixed thinking pattern, he will inevitably be speculated and seen through by others.
If one wants to become a wizard of the School of Prophecy, he must first have such thinking ability so that he can master the spells of the School of Prophecy.
The spells of the prophecy school do not mean that you can predict the future just by learning them. Instead, you need to have such careful thinking and wisdom to use the spells. You have put the cart before the horse."
Irving slowly explained to the Pope of the Church of Silence in front of him.
The great wizard Adolf at the side nodded repeatedly and sighed, "So there are too few mages in the prophecy school. This school is too difficult and relies too much on talent." He shook his head, still struggling with the issue of succession to the Purple Tower.
"Leave here and return to the Nine Rings Tower as soon as possible, so that you won't be pursued by the gods."
After saying that, Irving took out a magic scroll and directly opened a teleportation door.
At this moment, Archbishop Edwin of the Silent Church shouted weakly: "Please, save me, I am willing to surrender, please save me!"
Although Deya used false time to cause his mental breakdown, his body was almost shattered by Deya.
But this eight-ring priest used a life-saving spell on himself at the critical moment. His strong vitality prevented him from dying and he still had a breath.
Deya looked at him playfully and said with a smile, "You're not dead yet?"
Irwin said slowly: "His fate is up to you, Deya."
Deya nodded slowly, looked at Edwin, who was lying on the ground with only his head left, and said with a smile: "Your power is indeed very useful, so I decided to let you live."
Just as Edwin showed a hint of joy, he heard Deya say in a cold voice: "...It's just surviving in another form!"
In an instant, the Archbishop of the Church of Silence understood what Deya meant. He shouted in horror, "No!"
But he was no longer able to resist. He only felt the endless power of death enveloping his body. In that pure death, there seemed to be a mysterious voice whispering in his ears.
Slowly, Edwin's consciousness completely sank, and all his thoughts as a living person were taken away, leaving only the consciousness of a dead person.
Deya directly used the ritual of resurrecting the dead to transform him into an undead creature with a heroic template, that is, Deya's messenger of death!
It just so happened that Deya was promoted, and there was an additional position for "messenger", and such an eight-ring priest was simply the best material.
Especially since Edwin is a priest of the Singer of Silence and Deya has half of the Singer of Silence's power, it is only natural for him to be transformed into a Death Messenger.
Edwin completely turned into a skeleton, but his power as an eight-ring priest remained.
Seeing this scene, Grace Taff and Simon's expressions changed slightly.
They finally realized that Deya actually possessed the power of the god they believed in, otherwise he would not have been able to easily intercept Edwin's power and not return it to the Singer of Silence.
No wonder the gods had to kill him, because Deya completely stole the power of the gods, and the power he stole was not small!
The teleportation door shook, and Deya and others left the shattered cage of fate and returned directly to the Nine Rings Tower.
Here there are various mystery locks and barriers set up by the original wizards who are comparable to gods. They can resist all invasions of divine power and are absolutely safe.
……
Returning to the house where he had lived for more than a year, Deya felt a sense of relief, although not physically or mentally exhausted.
He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the clouds and mist beneath his feet. Now that he had finally reached the eighth ring, he no longer needed to be particularly anxious.
He is only in his twenties now, and his maximum lifespan is at least one thousand years. He has already broken through the most difficult hurdle, and he has a long time to do the next things.
"Deya, when did you and those two mages plot against the Church of Silence? Why didn't I know about it?"
Patricia frowned. She sat in the void, holding a white porcelain cup in her hand, and her tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
She had been following Deya all the time, but she had no idea what was going on.
When she knew that Deya was trapped by the Church of Silence and the Church of Destiny, she was worried about Deya.
However, he did not expect that all these worries were unnecessary. Deya had already made plans and even anticipated these things to happen.
Deya retracted his gaze toward the window, and said to Patricia with a smile, "One time when I finished my studies and was chatting with my teacher and Master Adolf, Master Adolf made this suggestion.
The teacher and Master Adolf both knew that I had obtained half of the power of the Singer of Silence from you. They speculated that the Singer of Silence would not give up and would definitely find a way to take the power back from me.
However, the church and the teacher signed a contract, and the eight-ring and nine-ring strongmen in the church cannot take action easily.
They only have two choices: one is for the Singer of Silence to forcibly terminate the contract, or rely on external forces, such as seeking help from other churches.
The Church of Silence can't seek much help from the outside world, and only a few other churches can help.
The Nine Rings Tower has all the detailed information about those churches. Whether it is the pope or archbishop of those churches taking action personally, or using the forbidden items in their collection, the teacher and Master Adolf have made preparations in advance. "
After a pause, Deya continued: "...and the only problem with these preparations is that my strength cannot be too weak. If my strength is too weak, these preparations may fail.
So my teacher and Master Adolf urged me to go to the Emerald Courtyard quickly and try to be promoted to the Eighth Ring. As long as I become the Eighth Ring, all the plans of the Church of Silence will fail.
Things went even more smoothly than I had imagined. Even I didn't expect that after reaching the eighth ring, I would be able to use some of the power of the Silent Chanter.
Even if the teacher and Master Adolf didn't come to help, the Silent Church couldn't do anything to me under the suppression of power."
Patricia listened quietly to Deya's explanation. She curled her lips and said, "You mages are really smart. You even figured this out."
Deya laughed and said, "So we are the mages, and what we are going to do is not tolerated by the gods."
Deya looked out the window again and whispered, "Teacher and Master Adolf also told me a secret about the gods. They want to create a real god.
No, that may not be as important as creating a God. This issue is the highest issue of the Nine Rings Tower. So far, there are only some ideas and thoughts.
To be precise, the Nine Rings Tower is preparing to completely dethrone a god and replace him, and this plan has reached the most critical step!"
There was also a strong sense of excitement in Deya's words.
Since there is no recorded precedent in history of a mortal becoming a god, it is up to the wizards of the Nine Rings Tower to work miracles and create this precedent.
As long as one example is successful, the method of becoming a god as a mortal may be discovered by humans and put into action!
"I'm going to find the teachers and discuss the current situation and the steps of this plan with them!"
