Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 353 Recapturing the Reverse Pupil
The battle with Ni-Temple ended in a comical way.

After Nemesis chanted a prayer to Vekna, the will of Arthur Lek descended.

As a saint, he cannot leave the sealed land, but he has the ability to possess others.

One of the special characteristics of saints is that they can possess the bodies of intelligent beings an unlimited number of times and unleash legendary power in mortal form.

It can be said that each saint is a legendary fighting force that can be reused and is immortal.

Of course, while saints possess such abilities, it doesn't mean that possession doesn't consume energy. Fortunately, each saint has a deity supporting them, so even a great deal of energy expenditure is nothing to the deity.

The plan devised by Nemesis and Arthur Lek was for Nemesis to summon Reverse Eye after finding him, so that they could join forces to deal with Reverse Eye.

But when the other party's will truly descended, Arthur Lek was enraged.

"No!! No!! Where has my lord's divinity and the true divine power accumulated over tens of thousands of years gone?!" Arthur's voice rang out in Namisis's mind like a roaring thunderclap. The lich, who was usually calm and collected, had now gone completely mad.

Namiesis frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Isn't this the Reverse Eye?"

Arthur Lek was silent for a moment, then said hoarsely, "That is the Reverse Eye, but what should be combined with the Reverse Eye is half of my Lord's divinity and the true divine power that my Lord has accumulated over the years since ascending to godhood."

"Without these things, even if the seal is broken by the Reverse Eye, my lord's power will greatly decline, and he may even fall out of the ranks of powerful gods!" Arthur Lek's voice was filled with anguish.

Namiesis fell silent. No wonder Arthur was so furious. He wasn't clear on the specifics of divinity, but he was very familiar with true divine power—it was a strategic reserve at the level of a god!

"Don't get distracted. We need to deal with the Reverse Eye first, free that Your Majesty, and then we can consider other things," Namisis reminded him.

The lich sneered, "Divinity needs a soul to bear it. Its divinity has disappeared, and its soul is probably gone too. The current Reverse Eye is nothing more than an organ without intelligence."

Namisis was startled. His soul had vanished? In other words, the current Reverse Eye was nothing but an empty shell?

Arthur was still cursing Shar's wickedness in Namiesis's mind. He believed that Shar had stolen the divinity and true god power of the Reverse Eye. But for some reason, Namiesis had a feeling that the current situation might be related to the anchor point mentioned by the butler.
Is it possible that Ni Tong discovered a passage to escape from here and abandoned his divine body to run away?
After pondering for a while, Nemesis did not tell Arthur Lek his suspicions. Vekna was clearly an evil god, and Nemesis could not possibly place his complete trust in Him; the two were merely using each other.

Moreover, Namiesis's original intention was to pit Vekner against Shar, but after listening to Arthur's words, it was clear that Vekner's strength would be greatly reduced after escaping, making the probability of the two facing off even lower.

Juan Celong immediately realized that the value of betting on Vicna was rapidly declining, so he decided to wait for a better price to buy his shares.

As intelligent as Arthur Lek was, he quickly realized that his unconscious words might have caused the brat who originally wanted to serve his master to have other ideas.

The lich calmed down and said in a cold voice, "How can the greatness of my lord be compared to that bitch hiding in the darkness? Even if the holy One loses His great divine power, He will eventually stand at the peak again."

"You don't actually think that treacherous bitch would tolerate a fickle traitor joining her, do you?" Arthur Lek's sinister voice rang in Namiesis's ear.

Namiesis scoffed. How stupid did this lich think he was? Vek'na and Shar were fundamentally different; he had an irreconcilable conflict with Shar, a conspiracy that affected Mystra and Shar. How could he possibly side with Shar and betray Vek'na?

However, with Vicna's condition deteriorating so much, he needs to make more preparations.

"The omniscient decipherer, the master of known knowledge." Namiesis prayed in his heart to a god who was in seclusion in the Mechanical Realm, informing him of the situation. After receiving a response, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Communication with Ogmar has continued uninterrupted since Namiesiss became aware of Vekna and Shar's presence.

However, Orgmar was bound by His Majesty Aio's decree and was unable to intervene in the mortal world.

Namiesis dared to make a deal with Vekna because he had received instructions from Ogma.

Although the two gods did not know each other, they were both powerful deities and had no deep-seated hatred for each other, so they would not offend each other to death because of a mortal.

Mystra and Ogmar are allies, and since Mystra's mortal enemy, Shar, is involved, how could Ogmar stand idly by?

No need to worry, I am already aware of this.

These few words made Namiesis understand that the current situation was still under the control of the Lord of Known Knowledge.

What followed was simple. Without the control of the divine soul, the Reverse Pupil was merely an organ acting on instinct. Namiesis, relying on the aura of the Eye of Deception, quickly gathered it back.

When the thousand-meter-tall giant eye transformed into an eye-shaped gem and entered Nemesis's hand, an extremely evil and immense power surged into Nemesis's body like a wild horse.

Even the higher-dimensional souls of the Nemesis trembled in the face of this power, as if they could be transformed into evil servants at any moment.

If it weren't for the power of the mind continuing to protect Nemesis's mind as always, he would probably have suffered a great loss.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes; this Arthur Lek was truly never letting go of any opportunity to try and control him.

The petty-minded Juan Celong had already made a mental note of the other party, and he would definitely take revenge without hesitation when he had the chance in the future.

Regardless of Nemesis's thoughts, Arthur was also extremely surprised at this moment. The Reverse Pupil was not a toy like the [Dharma Eye Hand] - that's right, even if the power of the holy artifact was so great, it was still a somewhat useless toy for a true god.

But the Reverse Eye is different. It is half of Vekna's body, a true god-level existence, containing Vekna's most primal evil will. But even so, the Scroll Dragon, who came into contact with the Reverse Eye without any precautions, was completely unharmed.
This is utterly absurd! To put it another way, it's as if the Lord of Hell himself descends to corrupt a mortal, only to find that the mortal is not only unharmed but also ignores the Lord of Hell's existence.

Could this scroll dragon actually be a steadfast paladin? But even the most devout paladin would at least have some reaction to this level of evil power, right?
