Becoming a god by raising witches

"Director, something has happened at the Cathedral of Life in St. Figueroa. Dimo ​​and Angela have undergone a strange transformation, turning into a giant, monstrous tree that is now devouring the power of the Tree of Life."

Locke gave a concise report on the situation.

Renis frowned slightly. "Where is Cardinal Norb Stott?"

“Bishop Norb is trapped in the dungeon and will likely be unable to leave anytime soon. Moreover…”

Locke hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"And what?"

Renis frowned.

"Moreover, the Strange Tree and the Cult of Life are from the same system, and it has a natural attraction for the strange members of the cult, bewitching them to become its nourishment."

Locke stated his guess, "This is my deduction."

"Well, I see."

Renis put down her book, stood up, draped a dark blue robe over her shoulders, donned a sheriff's hat trimmed with gold thread, and white gloves. As she walked, she gave orders.

“Come with me to see Her Majesty the Queen.”

“I have already sent Sieg to rule Her Majesty the Queen. Perhaps we should go see the Pope first.”

Locke said.

Renis glanced at him indifferently. "Don't make decisions for me next time. You're not the deputy director yet."

Do I have any hope?

Locke suddenly asked curiously.

"If this matter is handled well, it's not impossible."

"Renes said."

"Yes, Director, I will try my best."

"Ah."

The two left the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations together, but instead of meeting His Holiness the Pope of the Church of Life, they went to the Cathedral of Life in San Figueires.

For delivering messages, pigeons are all you need.

Besides, Rhaenys has so many pets; even if pigeons aren't enough, there are always owls.

The first thing Rhaenys did upon arriving at the church was to lift the shadows of the church and the Tree of Life, allowing the shadows to completely envelop the entire space, forming a closed cage.

Because she and Locke already knew each other very well, she didn't need to hide her strength.

Locke swallowed hard, stunned by the scene before him.

He had clearly replicated Renis's shadow power, but he hadn't mastered it to the same extent as her.

"Chief, have you already entered the realm of demigods?"

Locke suddenly asked.

"Without some ability, how could you become the director of the Bureau of Investigation? Don't be surprised, go in."

As Renis spoke, she led Locke into a world shrouded in shadows.

She took out a lamp and lit up the road ahead.

Locke realized that this lamp must also be a strange object.

"To avoid becoming food for monsters, you'd better use all your skills to avoid regretting it later."

"Renes said calmly."

"Chief, I can actually transform into a moon bear on the night of a full moon, but there are no conditions here that allow me to transform."

Locke said honestly.

"Oh, it's also from the witch's power."

Renis gave Locke a complicated look, then took a clear glass bottle from her coat pocket. The bottle contained clear water.

There is a small moon reflected in the water.

Renis popped the cork, and the water shot into the sky, forming a river suspended in the dark shadows of the night.

A full moon shone softly in the river.

"Strange Object B18: Reflection of the Moon should meet your needs."

"Renes said."

Locke stared at the bright moon in the sky, slightly stunned. If you looked closely, you would see ripples on its surface, which were the moon's reflection in the water, only now hanging in the sky.

Renis was indeed hiding a lot of incredible and strange items.

"Let me try."

Locke tried out the [Transform into a Moon Bear] skill, and his body instantly transformed into a 3-meter-tall giant bear with snow-white fur. The sheriff's uniform was also stretched to burst open by his suddenly enlarged body.

He looked at Renis somewhat embarrassedly, saying that the whole "bursting clothes" thing was really not what he wanted.

"Your appearance reminds me of someone."

"Renes said."

"Who?"

"Charlene Bergman, I never imagined you two were the same kind."

Renis said meaningfully.

Locke scratched his head awkwardly. "Heh, how could it not look like her? This power was stolen from her."

"Isn't describing me by breed disrespectful to yourself?"

Locke asked.

Renis glanced at him, and he immediately shut up.

Meanwhile, the Tree of Life above the church had completely withered, its bark peeling away to reveal a brand new, bizarre tree, mixed with endless flesh and blood, covered in blue butterfly flowers.

The branches of the tree, like vines, quickly extended towards the two of them.

Kosork East, Wells District, St. Figueroa Cathedral of Life.

A bright moon, somewhere between illusion and reality, hangs high in the sky shrouded in shadow.

The inky black river water hangs overhead, like a silver river that could fall at any moment.

Locke transformed into a 3-meter-tall moon bear using the simulated moonlight. His all-white fur made him look both majestic and adorable.

The Tree of Life has been completely invaded by the strange tree, whose crown is covered with countless blue flowers that emit a ghostly blue light that echoes the moonlight overhead, illuminating the dark world of shadows.

The faces belonging to Dimo ​​and Angela were embedded in the tree trunk, twisted and grotesque.

It gives you goosebumps just by looking at it.

On the bark and vines, bumps and lumps grew, and when the bumps broke open, they revealed pairs of human eyes.

Fortunately, Lux, Sinai, and Louisa had already evacuated everyone near the church, and they also followed Locke's advice and did not stay there any longer.

Unfortunately, the strange tree continues to grow, and its roots have extended beyond the church grounds.

"Renise, it's you."

Dimo and Angela spoke at the same time, and the combined sound was extremely uncomfortable.

“Dimo, Angela, you have really disappointed me. You took advantage of my trust and have been hiding in the Bureau of Investigation all this time.”

Renis frowned her beautiful brows.

"Renise, don't you have any secrets? You have none."

Before Dimo ​​and Angela could finish speaking, they were violently interrupted by Renis.

Renis flipped over and straddled Locke, who started running in perfect unison. With his moon bear physique, both his speed and strength were greatly enhanced, and he could leap five or six meters high at a time.

The only downside is that Rhaenys used him as a mount, but considering their close relationship, this sacrifice is nothing.

Locke leaped into the air, and Renis used her shadow to wrap around her hands, grabbing the flying vines. With brute force, she pulled the huge vines off the strange tree, and the clergyman entangled in the vines also woke up in an instant.

Those who are not deeply entangled should immediately use magic to free themselves from the vines.

"Without any talent for life-related magic, and using only dark magic, Renis, you are the greatest heretic."

Dimo and Angela gave the command, and all the vines on the strange tree began to move.

They charged toward Renis and Locke.

The flesh on every vine writhed and opened its mouth, "Heretic, you are the greatest heretic."

Countless sounds mixed together to form a huge noise that vibrated the eardrums, stirred the nerves, and made people feel inexplicably irritable and uneasy.

Renis donned the jet-black Shadow Armor, which extended all the way to Locke's Moon Bear form, enveloping him as well.

The Shadow Armor's purpose is to prevent the vines from eroding the body and forcibly taking over.

Without this armor, anyone who comes into contact with the vines will be controlled and become nourishment for the strange tree.

A long, shadowy sword appeared in Renis's hand, slicing through the approaching vines.
