Cthulhu Gonfalon

Chapter 864: Vol V Chapter 224

Of course, this was not Sui Xiong’s only tactic; he had more tricks up his sleeve!

After segregating the Church of the God of Eagle, Sui Xiong began to work on another tactic. This first tactic would cut off the God of Eagle from his original source of Divine Power, effectively depriving him of the large amounts of energy needed to resurrect as well.

The ability of the God of Eagle half depended on the fact that his kin was roaming this world, but was also based on the fact that his faith was traveling amongst the people. Sui Xiong could not do much about the faith that people had in the God of Eagle, but he could settle the former factor.

Normally, a god’s resurrection was similar to auctioning an object where price was key. This “price” mostly referred to how close the relationship between the god and the being it was about to use as a carrier was. As Leon was the God of Eagle’s direct kin, it was true that they did have a close relationship. However, there were actually many other people with the same close relationship due to the sheer number of the God of Eagle’s kin on this world. Leon was definitely not the only one.

Sui Xiong found tens of royalties which were all direct kin of the God of Eagle with ease and proceeded to induce them into a deep slumber. Amongst them, Sui Xiong then randomly selected one individual, removed the components of the God of Eagle from all the other bodies and entered it all into this individual’s bloodstream.

This sounded simple but was actually an extremely complicated process. The key to retrieving bloodline was careful craftsmanship. If one did not care about the life of the person, they were retrieving bloodline from, things would be much simpler. However, as Sui Xiong valued life, he did not mind being inconvenienced in order to preserve this individual’s life. He thus needed to use a bit more of his Divine Power to successfully retrieve the bloodline from each of the people and direct it into one select individual.

This “lucky” individual was the present Eagle Kingdom’s crown prince, a young man of about 20 years old. He was not as skilled or outstanding as Leon, and thus, Sui Xiong had not bothered to find out his name. However, he was a decent man with above-average fighting and equestrian skills. He especially liked to read books on history and the art of war and had a rather comprehensive understanding of military matters.

Today, his bloodline was greatly boosted and now surpassed that of Leon’s. The God of Eagle’s prepared tactics were naturally now altered to suit this surprising new situation. He no longer focused fully on Leon as he assumed that he had found a better new target.

This was another sabotage attempt by Sui Xiong. No matter how powerful the God of Eagle was, he could not resurrect in a few places at the same time. If he wanted to resurrect through Leon’s body, he would have to give up the crown prince who had a purer bloodline right now due to Sui Xiong’s antics. This was a tough decision on the part of the God of Eagle, who was now in a dilemma!

Leon was definitely strong but to a god, especially one with great Divine Power, it was not worth mentioning. Even if Leon was a little stronger, he would still not really be worth mentioning. As for resurrection, whether or not Leon got a little stronger was not worth mentioning. The important thing was to find the most suitable carrier to increase chances of success in resurrection. The God of Eagle thus started considering a change in tactic and was doubtful whether he should wait for Leon to enter the Demigod Realm on his own.

After all, if he had a good new target, why would he continue to choose Leon? Furthermore, Leon was not even a disciple of the God of Eagle!

The God of Eagle was in a dilemma, and in the Human Gods’ Kingdom, the God of Light smiled.

With a flash, the God of Light teleported into a chamber almost instantly. This chamber was sealed off from wind and light and was extremely small. For average people, if they were locked here, they would feel claustrophobic and frightened in this room. To be honest, even immortal gods would feel extremely uncomfortable being locked in this special chamber, let alone ordinary human beings. The God of Light entered this chamber and casually sealed it behind him before he directed his gaze to a stone plaque that was placed beside a tree.

“Are you the one playing tricks right now?”

A muffled sound emerged from within the stone plaque. This was a chaotic sound which no normal person could really decipher. However, using past experiences, the God of Light was able to guess the rough message.

“I know you want to resurrect. However, since I’ve encased you within this plaque, you can forget about it. I know you probably had left some kin behind and have some backup plans as well, but no matter what you try, as long as I tightly lock your soul in this plaque, it’s impossible to override me! No one will be able to help you execute your plans without having to go through me first,” the God of Light said coldly and lightly.

“God of Eagle, Hulk, since you’ve already died, don’t think of reversing your death! Just accept that this will be your fate forever!” action

In the pitch-dark room, a rather insignificant speck of light blinked slightly and instantly disappeared.

In the human world, among a giant Purification Array, Leon’s strength was amazingly, still increasing. His sword had already increased in power and undergone a change in shape to become wider and fuller. With every wave of the sword by Leon, every onlooker could clearly sense the sword’s increasing power and witness the increasing damage being dealt to the dragon.

With the increase in damage, the dragon slowly became more and more conscious. After more time, it even became more and more self-aware. If some scholars had known about this strange phenomenon, they would definitely feel like capturing this dragon for further study.

Actually, there was nothing much to study other than the fact that the abyss of the dragon being constantly reduced. Once the aura of the Abyss was eventually reduced to nothing, the dragon would finally be able to use its own abilities to fully absorb human knowledge and strength, developing itself to become bigger and bigger. As long as the dragon reached a certain degree of strength, the aura of the Abyss would no longer have effect on it even if it still existed. At that point, it would just be a master with a giant dragon’s body with demigod-level soul strength. This was probably a dream scene for researchers who studied fallen gods. For these people, if they managed to stumble upon a fallen god, they used the inheritance they gained to make themselves stronger.

This dragon had just been an ordinary red dragon previously, but a fallen Holy Spirit had killed it and sealed its soul into the dragon’s body. It had done so in hopes that in the end, this dragon could possibly be a viable carrier for some random other god to resurrect and effectively and definitely create huge news with such an action.

As to whether the dragon could continue living after such drama or whether the god who would take over the dragon actually had a chance to resurrect, well, the fallen Holy Spirit was curious, but it was not really necessary for him to care. What he really cared about was preventing people from finding out his own background through this unique dragon. This would allow his background, identity and previous deeds to all remain secrets. This would save him some unnecessary trouble and value add to his big plan for the Human Gods, which would then make this all worth it!
