Chapter 869 I, Kru, am loyal!

And it is precisely because of this that fate has seen its value.

At that very moment, the rain stopped.

The power of the earth began to grow, the taboo and the power of the earth intertwined, and a unique force was rapidly covering this area.

Upon witnessing this scene, Morin paused, seemingly regaining some clarity from the forbidden state of chaos, and then chose to flee the church grounds.

Looking at the muddy ground, Kluge took a deep breath, strengthened his resolve, and then walked toward the church, carrying with him the weight of history.

At this moment, all the clergy inside the church stopped what they were doing, stood still, and stared at Krue expressionlessly.

Every step Kru took drew their attention.

This bizarre scene, thankfully, wasn't accompanied by exaggerated laughter or clapping.

Under the watchful eyes of these people, Kru arrived at the Grand Master's office.

He stood in the office, and when he pushed open the door, it had become a passageway.

The passage seemed to lead to the depths of the earth, where the secrets of the land lay.

Guided by the mission documents, Kru walked step by step into the area and saw what was arguably the largest altar he had ever seen in his life.

It's like a mountain... no, it's like using a mountain as an altar.

After seeing the altar, Kru walked for quite a while before finally arriving at its side.

Then Kru discovered the dense array of divine runes on the altar.

Some of them have patterns similar to those of the Earthly Essence Technique, while others have even more complex patterns.

As he walked up the altar, step by step, Kru found that it would take him most of the day, or even longer, just to walk up.

Because this altar is truly the pinnacle of the divine magic of the Earth Church.

Kluge gained a great deal from just a few observations.

The wisdom of countless pastors, golden seeds, saints, and even gods is contained within the Earth Church.

Kru sometimes even wanted to stop and take a closer look at the divine runes on it.

However, the overall situation still comes first.

Kru climbed straight up and finally reached the top of the altar, where he saw the Heart of Hope floating there.

It was a lump of golden stones.

The stone was now covered in cracks.

Through the cracks, you can see the inside of the stone, which contains a golden, blood-like substance.

The Heart of Hope was built more than a thousand years ago.

However, with the Earth God's failure to save the world, hope has shattered and become what it is now.

Within the Heart of Hope lies what Kru seeks—the divine nature of the earth.

The moment Kru saw the Earth Godhead, he felt a surge of heat throughout his body. His yearning for divine objects propelled him toward it, and he reached out his hand.

"This is... divinity?" Kru placed the god on the rocky outer shell of the Heart of Hope, gazing at the existence of the divinity with fascination.

Knowing that Nems possessed some of the divine qualities of the Commandments, Kruk restrained his greed.

He knew the value of divinity, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

At this moment, when he saw the forty-seventh divine title with his own eyes, a soul-stirring tremor was driving him wildly to pick it up and incorporate it into his own soul.

Despite being able to suppress the forbidden corruption, Kru felt he could no longer control his greed in the face of the existence of divinity.

Godhood.

This is the ticket to the world's most powerful and influential position.

Without this ticket, no matter who you are, you're nothing more than a slightly larger insect.

Any fluctuation of any deity could crush him completely.

To attain divinity is like an insect suddenly awakening to wisdom, being able to stand and walk, and thus gaining the qualification to become a human.

This feeling... is too intense.

Kru reached his fingers into the crack and touched the presence of that divine essence.

The golden, blood-like liquid quickly found its target and rushed into Kru's body.

Of course, at this point, Kru discovered that the existence of this divine essence could not directly enter his soul, but required a confirmation process.

Otherwise, the divine essence would truly flow through his body like blood.

At this point, he could be considered to have completed Nemes's task.

He only needs to leave here and take this 'divine essence' with him, and he will succeed.

Now, as long as one's soul is moved and accepts the divine status, one can incorporate the divine status into one's soul.

Then, by using one's understanding of the earth to form corresponding concepts and expound on the earth, one can combine one's own soul essence—the 'number of thought'—with the earth's divine status, and then ascend to the earth's divine position.

Kru once again stood at the threshold of choice.

However, Akemi, who was watching, no longer needed to guess.

Kru's current situation leaves him with no other choice. Whether it's his ambition, desire, or reason, given his current bizarre state entangled in taboos, becoming the God of the Earth is his only way out.

Furthermore, his previous choice was already a betrayal of Nemus, so it's impossible for him to do it now...

However, to Akemi's surprise, Kru stopped moving.

He suppressed his own greed and did not accept divinity.

This general under Nemes actually chose not to betray after betraying halfway through.

“No, to be precise, he never betrayed us from beginning to end.” Akemi finally realized this.

Nemus's mission is to have Kru acquire the divine power and bring it back.

During the mission, Kru had autonomy; he rejected the 'standard mission procedure' provided by Nemes and chose his own method of controlling the taboo.

What appears to be a betrayal is actually Kru demonstrating his own value.

Nemus possesses the Godhood of Transformation, and to be honest, the bonuses provided by the Godhood of Earth are there, but not particularly many.

Especially now that Nemus has embarked on the path of the Ancient Gods, his need for the Earth Godhood can only be a supplement.

Of course, the power brought by the Earth Godhood is definitely not weak.

Therefore, since Kru has demonstrated his value at this moment, there is a very high probability that even if this Earth Godhead is given to Nemus, Nemus will bestow it back upon him.

In this way, Kru could also obtain godhood.

Of course, there was a tacit understanding 'hidden' before that.

That will be the final test.

Morin, who had escaped earlier, Atata, who had left first, and other mythical species or cult forces preparing to besiege the church.

Being able to take away the divine essence while surrounded by these people truly proves one's potential!

Chapter 870 Demonstrating Value

Nemus squinted, observing the changes around him, before his gaze fell on Akrimi.

"Are you sure you want to die?" Nems asked.

If we were to say who is most suitable to be the god of the earth, it would undoubtedly be Akrimi.

He was the son of the former Earth God, and also the catalyst for the other's transformation into a god.

Under normal circumstances, Akrimi would naturally succeed his father as the new god of the earth.

Unfortunately, in the final days of that year, Akrimi also suffered the backlash of failing to save the world.

Akram's body was already in a terrible state. Although he was still alive, it was to the point that even the god of life would have to expend a great deal of effort to save him.

At this point, Akramín could only rely on the Heart of Hope and the altar that had been formed by all the members of the Earth Church to survive while maintaining the existence of the 'Church' and ensuring that all the church clergy whose 'files' were preserved by the Heart of Hope at the last moment survived.

"I don't want to die, but what can I do?" Akemi said, his eyes showing no fear of death, only a calm indifference.

He endured for over a thousand years, and before that, he had lived even longer.

During that long period of time, he had an obsession, but it had long since been shattered.

The Earth Godhead now has a new master, and in any case, it's all over with him now.

If that's the case, then death is acceptable.

However... all living beings have the instinct to survive, and if Akemi can live, she naturally won't give up.

In any case, he still carried on the legacy of the Earth God.

As long as he can survive, he still has the opportunity to uphold his beliefs.

“I don’t think you need to be so quick to kill yourself. If everything goes well, you might be able to survive,” Nems nodded and then said casually.

Akemi paused for a moment, then nodded.

They had a lot of conversations during the few days they spent together.

During this process, Akrimi also came to know Nemus, who was ruthless but could be trusted to a certain extent.

If he says he can do it, then there is a very good chance that he can.

Thinking of this, Akemi couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, and her gaze involuntarily turned outside.

Aren't you going to make any preparations?

“Although they are just some mythical species, the pantheons behind them are also very difficult to deal with.” Akrimi has dealt with too many other pantheons.

When the Earth God was still alive, the Seven Gods Alliance was not called the Seven Gods Alliance, but the Eight Gods Alliance.

At that time, Akemi was not famous and quietly disappeared into the material plane.

However, he also presided over various events, and even disguised himself as a saint or similar being to complete missions.

Therefore, he was extremely familiar with the systems of other pantheons.

No pantheon would let go of a matter involving divinity.

Mythical beings are all 'pawns' in the material plane.

Their primary task was not to seize the divine power, but to cause abnormal numerical fluctuations in this area of ​​the material plane.

When a world experiences abnormal numerical fluctuations, the world's own 'rules' will be activated.

Just as there is a rule that gods cannot enter the material plane, there is a chance that rare boundary borders will appear in areas with abnormal numerical fluctuations.

With the intervention of the gods, what is called probability becomes inevitability.

At that time, while the gods will still be unable to descend into the material plane under the bordering state, they will be able to set up many more divine war formations.

Those mythical beings can no longer restrain themselves and unleash their full power.

It is foreseeable that as soon as Klue steps out, a bloodbath will ensue, and a similar battleground of gods will inevitably appear.

If Nemus isn't prepared, this Earth Godhood he's acquired might really be snatched away by other gods.

Of course, there is also a very small chance that, in a fight between the snipe and the clam, a fisherman might benefit, and some mythical creatures might be able to get a bargain, obtain a divine status, and escape.

“No rush, let Kru first demonstrate the potential of his forbidden techniques,” Nemus said.

Kru's strength had already been revealed; he was able to sever the forbidden and troublesome mechanisms, thus dragging them into a state of numerical comparison.

This is enough for fate to invest more in it.

But this is not what Nems needs.

What he needs is whether Kru can quickly convert into sufficient combat power.

After all, the sun god is likely to make some unusual moves in the next three days.

Within five days, a divine war that could potentially affect the entire world will inevitably break out.

If Kru cannot rely on his own forbidden system to quickly unleash combat power sufficient to intervene in the war of gods.
