Chapter 870: Vol V Chapter 230

The shadow of the God of Royalty gradually became clear. The old man with a crown on his head, who donned a golden armor and a red cloak gradually came into view. Even strands of hair on his head could be seen.

But his eyes were persistently lacking in spirit. There was not a hint of aura in him.

Sui Xiong knew this was proof of a lack of belief.

When the gods were resurrected, they needed a large amount of beliefs. Only with sufficient power of beliefs could they reignite the soul fires of gods to allow them to be reborn.

If there was insufficient power of beliefs, even if the other conditions were in abundance, the “resurrection” would only be the appearance and power of the god. It would be something without sanity and wisdom.

Such a thing was commonly called a “Sin of God.” It could either be a monster created by crossbreeding with gods, or it could be a product of some dangerous experiments of gods. Sins of Gods were just as powerful as the gods, but they were far more dangerous and terrifying as compared to the gods.

Most of them did not have sanity and wisdom or did not have complete sanity and wisdom. Many of them only had thoughts of destruction and chaos in their minds. These thoughts were even more severe as compared to the evil gods. They were very similar to the devils of the abyss. But it so happened that many of them were extremely powerful. Some were so powerful to such an extent where even the gods found them a headache.

The most famous Sin of God, known as the “multi-headed serpent that devoured the stars,” was an example of an extremely troublesome monster. It belonged to the “Star Devouring” category and was able to devour an entire star or even a small world in one gulp. If it had gone to the world where Earth was in, probably the sun would not even fill one mouthful of it, but rather, Mercury, Mars, Earth, Venus… all would have to be devoured together before it could exclaim, “Ah, just enough to fill me up a little, now I have to find something to eat for a proper meal.”

That was assuming that it was able to think clearly.

This monster was a complete monster inside out. The gods had thought of many ideas to deal with it. In the end, they could only lure it to a remote corner of the Ring of the World and lay down overlapping loops of time and space to keep it trapped within.

Even so, it continued to grow. A god skilled at prophecies once said that sooner or later, there would come a day where this Sin of God would grow into a demon—a terrifying existence that embodied the concept of “the world will ultimately be destroyed” and was focused on destruction.

If the resurrection of a god failed, then that body without sanity and wisdom would often become a Sin of God. But it could not possibly be overly powerful or dangerous, for it would only be able to wander about aimlessly without deliberately doing good or evil.

Perhaps after wandering for a long time, it would regain the light of wisdom and awake taking the identity of an evil god—out of all the evil gods in this world, there was more than one who had taken their identity in this manner.

If Sui Xiong had not stepped forth to intervene, the God of Royalty might also become a Sin of God.

But Sui Xiong had no intention of seeing such an outcome. Since he had made his move, of course he had to strive for a good result.

Striking the God of Aristocracy with a vicious blow to give them a severe headache was what he could consider as a good result!

Just as the God of Royalty was slowly being resurrected, the shadow of the God of Eagle on Leon’s body was also constantly becoming clearer and more condensed. It seemed to be under the influence of the resurrection of God of Royalty due to close proximity. Its shadow was gradually becoming stable, and the image shaking condition was waning. But Sui Xiong was, on the contrary, getting more and more worried.

Fortunately, he was already fully prepared. Now, the situation was practically what it would be like to have “how everything ready but that which was crucial.”

So all he had to do was to wait patiently. He would wait patiently, and then he would make his move at the crucial moment. This decisive move would determine everything.

After a while, there was a sudden flash of light behind Leon. The shadow of the God of Eagle appeared.

It was not given time to make any response before a green light flashed by, and Sui Xiong had appeared beside the shadow of the God of Eagle. Dozens of tentacles spread out and clung tightly onto the shadow that originally had no physical body. Then there was another flash of green light in the air. A tentacle that had become flat like the blade of a sword was violently swung down. Then the connection between this shadow and Leon’s soul was completely cut off.

Up to this point, the resurrection of the God of Eagle could be regarded as a failure. Not only that, but Leon also could no longer be the carrier for its resurrection, so it could almost be considered as the real solution to the problem.

But for Sui Xiong, there was still a little something he had to do before this whole matter could really be resolved satisfactorily.

He used his tentacles to cling tightly onto the shadow of the God of Eagle, which, for some unknown reason, had become hot like fire. Within a flash, this shadow had arrived beside the shadow of the God of Royalty. Then with a fierce twist by several tentacles, the shadow of the God of Eagle was directly twisted into shattered pieces and became countless light spots that fell within the shadow of the God of Royalty.

These light spots were pure Divine Power and sincere belief. Sui Xiong had just released the temple of the God of Eagle in Eagle Wing City from being surrounded and blocked. Now, there was really a mighty surge of Divine Power and belief heading towards it.

And under Sui Xiong’s ingenious means, they all became the gains of the God of Royalty.

The God of Royalty was originally sporting a half translucent body that was constantly shaking, and he seemed as though he would collapse anytime. With these beliefs and Divine Power, his body gradually became clear and stable. And his eyes, in particular, gradually seemed to radiate a glimmer of light.

Regrettably, the belief that the clergymen of Eagle Wing City could provide was still too little. Although it was enough for the God of Eagle, it was still insufficient for the God of Royalty. The reason was that there would always be some loss during the conversion of belief.

Sui Xiong could not let his doppelganger force them to change their belief to the God of Royalty—the fundamental of any belief was recognition. Any belief that lacked recognition or that was formed forcefully would not be stable or powerful. It might even be difficult to provide it with the power of beliefs. So after much deliberation, Sui Xiong could only come up with one solution.

Since the power of beliefs he could obtain from the God of Eagle was inadequate, he would use his own power of beliefs to make up for the inadequacy.

Anyway, since that major disaster relief that was carried out throughout the entire Dominant Continent, the number of followers of Sui Xiong had undergone another massive increase. Now he was receiving an alarming amount of power of beliefs every day. Over the years, the amount of power of beliefs accumulated had already reached an astonishingly astronomical number.

Even if there was some loss due to the conversion process, as compared to the whole amount, this loss was merely a drop in the bucket.

For someone who put thoughts into action, Sui Xiong immediately mobilized his reserve of power of beliefs and converted them into the power of beliefs of the God of Royalty. Though almost 60 percent of the power of beliefs was lost during this procedure, the remaining portion was more than enough for the God of Royalty.

After gaining enough belief and the Divine Power given by Sui Xiong, the God of Royalty, who was yet to be considered as truly resurrected, closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

He could now be considered as truly resurrected, but he would have to sleep deeply for a while longer. This deep sleep would allow him to adjust himself to his new state. When he woke up, not only would he be extremely powerful, but his divinity would also be perfect. By then, so long as he could find the chance to make an appearance before his former followers, he would be able to quickly gather a great amount of power of beliefs.

And without its enhancement, the Evil Dragon was nothing more than a big chunk of meat, or rather, a huge pile of incombustible trash to Leon.

He raised his sword, then swung it down.

The Evil Dragon fell heavily onto the ground. And finally, this time, it did not get up anymore.
