Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 223 The Queen’s sister’s free food is so delicious!

Violent emotions were swirling in Virikis's eyes. For the first time, she felt a sense of pressure from someone who was far weaker than her.

This person is so terrifying. How dare he interfere in the affairs of the gods?

Seeing that Velikis didn't respond, Cohen said in a deep voice:

“Is it related to the Arcane Empire?

Your Majesty, can you tell me how the Arcane Empire fell?
And, more importantly, when did he perish? "

Velikis narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at Cohen's eyes for a long time, and opened her red lips slightly:

"Why do you know so much about the Arcane Empire?
Logically, you shouldn’t know so many things.”

Since he had decided to be frank, Cohen did not hide anything and told Virekiss about what she and Windsardler had experienced in the Nightmare Mist Phantom.

Cohen's tone was neither hurried nor slow:
"As for why I sensed something was wrong with the collapse of the Arcane Empire, that's another matter. This matter involves the privacy of a good friend of mine and cannot be shared with Her Majesty the Queen."

A trace of disdain flashed across Virikis's eyes:
"good friend?

Your lover, I have investigated you, a philandering and playboy king."

Cohen shrugged slightly, having no psychological barriers to the Queen's personal attacks, and said calmly:
"So, Your Majesty, can you tell me what exactly happened in the Arcane Empire?"

Velikis frowned slightly, then said after a moment of silence:
“There are some things I don’t know very clearly. After that great war, I was targeted by the Father of that Son of God.

Later, due to some reasons, I was injured and could not become a god, so I pretended to be dead and hid in the sleeping cave to recuperate. This recuperation lasted for more than 10,000 years.

Everything was going well, but I didn't expect that the Arcane Empire and those unfilial descendants of the Sun Elves would actually set their sights on my sleeping cave and want to jointly excavate it.

In order to prevent anyone from noticing anything unusual, I transformed the palace into an ice coffin.

As a result, these bastards actually took the opportunity to suppress my sleeping cave, using an extremely mysterious power. This power is so strange that even in my prime, it would be difficult to escape. "

Cohen's face showed understanding. What Vilegis described was almost the same as what he had experienced in the nightmare phantom. That mysterious power should be the power called "Ao".

This kind of power can actually suppress a transcendent being whose strength is close to that of a god!
Velikis continued:

“Someone behind me, not caring about their own safety, sent me some seeds. After cultivating them, I found that these seeds had a miraculous effect on my recovery from injuries.

Later I learned that these were the seeds of the elven holy fruit cultivated by the forest elves after the ancient elves split. I recovered half of my injuries with the help of these seeds.

It just so happened that the power that the Arcane Empire used to suppress me began to gradually weaken, until finally, it disappeared completely, and I broke out of the palace directly.

When I came out, the entire Arcane Empire was in chaos. It seemed that their power system had completely lost control, and the entire empire was plunged into madness and despair.

Before I could catch my breath, that damned Lord God set his sights on me again. Only then did I realize that…"

Virigis stopped talking immediately. It had been tens of thousands of years since she had anyone to talk to, and Her Majesty the Queen was a little overwhelmed for a moment, almost exposing her fatal weakness.

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:

“What?
Has Her Majesty finally discovered why the Lord God has been able to pinpoint her location so many times?"

Velikis's expression changed slightly, and she snorted softly:
"Don't try to trick me. I have no ill will towards you or Adair, so don't try to trick me.

In fact, I am half your ancestor and half your teacher!"

There is nothing wrong with what he said, after all, Virigis is Windsardler's ancestor and teacher.

The thought of the jockey destroying his ancestors flashed through Cohen's mind.

He coughed lightly and said:

“Her Majesty the Queen has misunderstood.

Please continue. Once you have answered my questions, I can give you what you want in exchange."

Velikis laughed disdainfully:

"Do you know what this king wants?"

Cohen opened his lips slightly and said slowly:
"I can offer a viable solution to your injury!"

Hearing this, the sarcasm on Velikis's beautiful face deepened, and she sneered:
"Do you know where this injury came from?"

Cohen nodded:

"Your injuries are all caused by the conflict between the divinity and godhead you absorbed into your body!"

Velikis's expression suddenly froze. She looked up at Cohen for a long time, suppressing the emotions churning in her heart. She said slowly:

"I hope you'll keep your word. What I'm about to say risks being discovered and exposed by the gods!"

Cohen gestured to continue.

Velikis narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and continued what she had just said:
“After being targeted by the Lord God, I couldn’t reveal the location of the Sleeping Cave, so I fled towards the direction of the elves.

Fortunately, there seemed to be a dispute among the gods at that time, and the world of gods was extremely turbulent. The main god gave up after tracking for a while.

But before I could breathe a sigh of relief, a scene that I will never forget appeared! "

Even though countless years had passed, when Velikis recalled the scene, her beautiful face couldn't help but change:
“Hundreds!
More than a hundred gods!
In the Demonic Continent, hundreds of gods descended to the world at once!

All living beings on the entire continent were suppressed so that they dared not reveal a single trace of their aura!
After the gods came to the world... they joined forces to destroy the Arcane Empire!

And with the help of [God of Truth and Memory] Lorthien Yin, he cleansed the memories of all living beings on the continent.

Fortunately, I have the divine nature and divinity to protect me, so I escaped the disaster.

Well, as for the real time of the fall of the Arcane Empire that you want to know... it is not the thousand years that humans remember now, but... ten thousand years!

As for why there is now a thousand years of explanation.

It's very simple, because at that time, the [God of Truth and Memory] Lorthien In directly erased the existence of the Arcane Empire from the memory of all living beings.

But since a few years ago, perhaps the divine power was not enough to continue sealing the memory, or perhaps something else happened.

The existence of the Arcane Empire gradually appeared in the memories of the creatures on the continent, but the seal was not completely broken, so everyone could only recall that the Arcane Empire was destroyed a thousand years ago.

Perhaps over time, this seal will be completely broken.

Living beings will also be able to remember everything about the Arcane Empire. In fact, with the recent discovery of more and more ruins of the Arcane Empire, this can be proved. The memories sealed and cleansed by the gods will eventually return one day. "

Cohen fell into deep thought. Virigis's judgment was very reasonable, because when Daphne sealed the truth that the queen sister had divinity, she mentioned that the seal would disappear after five years at most.

Therefore, the gods' memory sealing method will definitely not last forever.

Cohen frowned slightly. Although Virikis' words answered many questions in his mind, some key questions remained unanswered.

For example, why did the Arcane Empire lose the power of "Ao", why did the gods join forces to destroy the pinnacle of human civilization, and who were the gods who took action!
Cohen suppressed the thoughts churning in his mind; these were not things he was qualified to explore at the moment.

After saying this, Velikis looked at Cohen impatiently:

"Hey, I've told you everything I know. Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

Cohen nodded and said:

“Normally, divinity will not conflict with godhead. Even if it is incompatible with godhead, the power of divinity will only be reduced.

For example, it takes three points of divinity to play a role of one point of divinity.

As for the fact that the divinity that appeared on His Majesty actually conflicted with the divine nature to the point of causing the owner's own strength to decline or even being seriously injured, it can only mean that the divinity that His Majesty absorbed... contains the will of a god!

This is also why your mortal enemy, the Lord God, was able to locate you so quickly."

Velikis took a few steps forward and said in a deep voice:
“Impossible, the divinity I absorbed was taken from the Son of God.

If divinity possesses the will of the gods, it is impossible for the Son of God to absorb it into himself, so where can I take it from?
That’s the paradox.”

Cohen's eyes darkened and he asked in a low voice:
"Excuse me, but who is the main god that Your Majesty offended..."

A strange expression appeared on Velikis's face, and she lowered her voice.
"Erebus."

Cohen said:
"Your Majesty is truly formidable. He even dared to provoke Erebus, the Dark God who is the most powerful and irascible among the Lord Gods' Council. I admire you!"

Velikis snorted softly:
"It's his son who is so reckless and insists on pestering me.

It just so happens that the Dark Divine Power and the Godhead of Destruction go well together, and the Dark God just happened to have placed so much Dark Divine Power in his son. Isn't it obvious that he wants me to absorb it?"

Cohen chuckled and said:
"May I ask again, how much divinity did Your Majesty plunder from that Son of God?"

Virigis hesitated and fell into deep thought.

Cohen blurted out:

"I estimate it won't be less than a hundred points!"

Virigis's expression suddenly changed, and she asked:
"how do you know?"

Cohen narrowed his eyes and whispered:
"Exactly how many points!"

Velikis bit her red lips lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then reported a number:
“One hundred and fifty points!

A full one hundred and fifty points.

If it weren't for this, I wouldn't risk offending a major god by killing his son."

Cohen's voice became mysterious and low, and he said softly:

“One hundred and fifty points of divinity!
A deity of medium power only possesses a hundred points of divinity.

Even though the God of Darkness is a main god-level god who is more powerful than the powerful gods, one hundred and fifty points of divinity are still a considerable burden for him.

Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why the Dark God placed so much dark divinity in his son?"

Velikis lowered her brows in thought, then replied:

"spoil?"

Cohen looked at Velikis speechlessly and said:
"Is it possible that this so-called son of his is just a decoy?

That was not his son, but one of his clones!
An avatar that condenses over a hundred points of dark divinity!"

Velikis's delicate body trembled violently, and horror flashed in her eyes:
“You…what did you say?
Is that the incarnation of the God of Darkness?" Cohen said in a deep voice:

“Yes, that is the clone that the Dark God forged for himself.

The God of Darkness first gave birth to an offspring, and then separated a wisp of soul to invade the body of the baby.

When the baby grows up, it will become a perfect clone.

Therefore, the God of Darkness does not need to strip away his own divine will, but can directly attach the dark divinity to this baby.

Your Majesty, congratulations! You will probably be the only transcendent in history who kills a god with a mortal body.

What you killed was not the Son of the God of Darkness, but one of his genuine clones!

He is the Lord God, and what he is obsessed with is not the revenge for the murder of his son, but the revenge for the destruction of his great divinity and clones that were taken away by you!

The divinity you absorbed contains the will of the gods, so as soon as you show your head, you can be accurately sensed!"

Vilegis opened her red lips slightly. Something that she had been unable to figure out for tens of thousands of years was explained clearly by the other party in just a few words. She couldn't help feeling a little frustrated in her heart.

Velikis was silent for a long time before she suppressed her emotions and asked:
"He's an incarnation of a god, so why is he so vulnerable? I remember when I killed him, he was just an ordinary Legendary."

Cohen replied:

"That's normal, because this clone hasn't fully grown yet, so it's not time to harvest it yet."

Velikis became even more confused and asked:

"Isn't this his own clone? What else is he going to harvest?"

Cohen shook his head slightly:

“It’s said to be my own clone, but the clone has also developed self-awareness, has its own adventures and opportunities, and may even become a god in the future.

I strongly suspect that the God of Darkness Erebus has more than one clone. He must have raised many similar clones, and the one you killed was just a more outstanding one.

As for the others, some may be mediocre, and some may be weak.

It's like raising a Gu, raising the most powerful one, and then swallowing it all at once!"

Cohen has completely understood what happened to Vilegis more than 10,000 years ago.

He had seen people discussing this model of raising insects and swallowing clones in the game forum in his previous life. It was also another way for players to enhance their strength after becoming gods.

I didn’t expect that this method has already been used by the gods, and even by one of the most powerful gods.

Apart from this dark god, are there any other similar gods among the gods?
Is there anyone in the human continent who is the incarnation of the gods?
Is it even possible that the person in charge of a major force is actually an incarnation carefully cultivated by a certain god?

Cohen felt a chill down his spine. No matter how confident he was, he was not confident enough to compete with the gods.

Verekis looked stunned, and after a long silence, she said:

"You humans are so vicious that you can even come up with such a sinister trick."

Cohen said calmly:

"This is probably how Erebus, the God of Darkness, became one of the most powerful gods."

A complicated expression appeared on Virigis's face. She had never expected that the divinity she had snatched with so much difficulty and even faked her own death actually contained the strong will of the Lord God and was completely useless.

She looked at Cohen and asked:

"You said you have a way to heal my injuries?

I'm not asking you to give up your divinity on your own initiative, am I?"

Since the injuries in Viregis's body were caused by the incompatibility between the godhead and the divinity, if she abandoned the godhead or the divinity, the problems would naturally be solved.

But in that case, wouldn't all the suffering that Vilegis had suffered over the years be in vain? She would even have offended a powerful god because of this incident, causing the entire ancient elf race to fall apart.

I'm afraid that Virigis would rather die than accept this result.

Cohen chuckled and said:
"Of course not. That is divinity, the divinity from the most powerful god, the God of Darkness. How could I give it up so easily?"

Cohen paused, stared into Velikis's eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"I can help you purify the will of the Dark God contained in your divinity."

Virikis's eyes were filled with doubt as she asked:

"You, a fifth-level transcendent, want to remove God's will?"

Cohen suppressed his inner passion and excitement, trying to keep his tone calm.

“Of course I can’t, but I have a ritual that can purify God’s will.

Simply put, the will of the Dark God also has natural enemies.

For example, the Goddess of Light. If we can obtain a semi-artifact containing the will of the Goddess of Light as a sacrifice, and then let a legendary transcendent perform the ritual that I have mastered, we can successfully purify the will of the main god contained in the divinity.

Your Majesty will then obtain 150 points of pure and flawless divinity that can be freely absorbed and will never again be traced by the God of Darkness!"

Cohen's words made Virikis's breathing stagnate. If it was true as Cohen said, she could almost immediately become a god with this 150 points of divine body!
Suddenly, a fiery flame burned in the eyes of Her Majesty the First Queen!

Velikis looked at Cohen steadily, and her red lips parted slightly:
"What will it cost me?"

Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered three words:

"One hundred points!"

Velikis' eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say:

"What did you say?
One hundred points?

I have risked my life and hidden myself for more than ten thousand years, taking the risk of offending the Lord God, and only managed to get a hundred points. And you want a hundred points just by asking?

This is divinity!
You thought it was blown by the wind!"

Cohen had anticipated Virekis's angry attitude, so he remained calm and waited for her to vent her emotions.

Seeing that Cohen's attitude remained unmoved, Velikis said with a cold expression:
"You don't think I really dare to kill you!"

Cohen was not afraid of Velikis's threat at all and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, of course you dare, but Your Majesty must consider carefully whether you can withstand the revenge of my queen if you kill me!

Having offended the God of Darkness and then the God of Ice... I'm afraid that no matter how vast the world is, there will be no place for Your Majesty to stay!"

Velikis approached Cohen in an instant, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

Virigis had no doubt about the truthfulness of Cohen's words. She had seen with her own eyes that the Ice God Daphne even tampered with the memories of all the creatures on the Demonic Tide Continent for the sake of Adair.

What's even more outrageous is that Yadel is willing to turn against the Ice God for her husband and threaten the Lord God with the destruction of her own divinity!
Velikis herself is a woman. Although she doesn't know why Adele is so devoted to a bastard, she knows how terrifying a woman can be when she goes crazy.

She had no doubt that once she killed Cohen, Yadel would definitely not hesitate to drag the entire elf tribe to be buried with Cohen.

After all, she was the first queen of the elves, and it was impossible for her to watch the elves perish.

Velikis gritted her teeth and managed to utter a few words:
"You are a grown man, but you have to rely on a woman to threaten me. Aren't you ashamed?"

Cohen nodded as a matter of course:
“She’s my sister, what’s wrong with protecting me?

It's because I have such a deep relationship with my sister, the Queen. If you're jealous, you can find a man to experience the sweetness of love yourself."

Velikis glared at Cohen with murderous eyes:

"One hundred points of divinity is impossible. You are just providing a solution, it's not worth that much!"

Seeing that Virikis's attitude had softened, Cohen felt ecstatic.

At this moment, he wanted to rush out and hug Windsardler and give him a good kiss. His wife was such a good helper, but he actually met such a rich man when he went out.

One hundred points of divinity, Cohen would never dare to think of this in his dreams.

He quickly suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart, and asked in a cold tone:

"Your Majesty, do you have any idea about the semi-artifact of the Goddess of Light?"

Virigis was stunned. She was so excited about solving the hidden danger in her body that she forgot about this.

Just now, this bastard seemed to be saying that he wanted to use some semi-artifact of the Goddess of Light to assist in the ceremony.

Semi-artifacts related to the Goddess of Light... then we can only target the Church of Light.

I heard that there is a Holy Grail of Light in the Saint Hall of the Church of Light, which seems to be a semi-artifact.

But with my current strength, it’s not easy to snatch things from the saints!
Velikis fell into deep thought.

Cohen coughed lightly and continued:

"Your Majesty, I happen to have some connections with the Church of Light, and we even worked together to kill a saint.

Maybe I can get a semi-artifact for His Majesty to use."

Verikis's beautiful face showed a look of uncertainty. After a brief silence, her tone became less aggressive than before:

“Joining forces is one thing, borrowing a semi-artifact is another.

This king does not believe that you can make the Church of Light willingly lend you a semi-artifact!"

Cohen smiled faintly:
"This is not something your majesty should consider. Since I said so, I naturally have confidence."

Vilegis's eyes were complicated. An elf that had lived for more than 10,000 years was actually controlled to this extent by a human who was less than 20 years old.

Queen Virigis felt extremely aggrieved!

Seeing that the heat was almost there, Cohen added another dose of strong medicine and said in a deep voice:
“In fact, it’s not very useful for Your Majesty to have so much divine power.

Unless Your Majesty can condense the godhood by himself, if you only rely on the half of the destruction godhood you obtained to become a god.

At most, you can only use fifty points of divinity. If you use more, the godhead will not be able to bear it, and it may even be shattered in the end!"
