Chapter 776 The Power to Kill

"He devoured my lord's divine power and a portion of his divine essence, thus ascending to the level of a demigod..."

"We must reclaim that part of my Lord's divinity, otherwise my Lord's resurrection will be greatly delayed..."

Within the deep hall, voices of will resounded continuously, fluctuating as if they were discussing something.

"He has already advanced to demigod status; even if we go out, we would never be a match for him..."

"The plan must be accelerated; the Slaughter God Child must be born as soon as possible..."

"We need sufficient power to reclaim our Lord's divinity from that person..."

"Let these sons of slaughter meet as soon as possible and let them decide the final victor..."

…………

Voices echoed continuously within the hall, but eventually faded into silence.

With a faint fluctuation of divine power, the place before them returned to calm and vanished completely from its original spot.

Far away, within the Adir Empire.

Adir withdrew his power, bringing back the aura that had been recklessly emanating from him, and returned to the courtyard where he had been before.

He wore a long silver robe with a long sword at his waist. His long hair fell gently down, and his extremely handsome face looked very calm and somewhat indifferent.

A faint, unique aura rose from his body, and his handsome appearance reached its peak at this moment, even more outstanding than before.

Even the most knowledgeable and worldly-wise person, upon seeing Adir at this moment, would be filled with heartfelt admiration, wondering why such a person existed in the world.

This is the change brought about by the sublimation of life level after advancing to demigod. At this moment, there is a fatal attraction that strongly attracts any existence around.

Feeling the changes within himself, Adir turned around, waved his hand, and a mirror instantly appeared before him.

In the mirror, Adir's current appearance appeared.

Adir noticed that, in addition to the change in appearance, his eyes had now turned gold.

A faint golden divine power was brewing in his eyes, and at this moment, tiny patterns were constantly emerging on his body, appearing with his thoughts and then disappearing again.

"Finally... we've reached this point..."

Feeling the changes in his body, Adir sighed deeply.

Having lived in this world for nearly a hundred years, Adir has finally reached the pinnacle of this world.

Although a demigod may not mean much to the world in some respects, in this era, a peak demigod is already among the most powerful beings in the world.

Those gods of the past were indeed powerful and terrifying, but they have not yet returned to their peak. They are either in a state of dormancy or have just descended, and are no match for Adir at this moment.

With Adir's current strength, he could do many things if he wanted to.

Therefore, at this moment, Adir is already preparing for the next move.

At this point in time, Adir still holds a significant advantage. With his demigod-like power, no church in the entire material world wants to provoke him, not even the most powerful Church of the Sun King.

This isn't because Adir's strength is truly invincible, but rather because it's not worth it.

As a church passed down from the Sun King, one of the ancient supreme gods, the Sun King Church could absolutely employ methods comparable to those of a demigod if it wanted to.

But so what?

A living half-human being, unless a true god appears, is almost impossible to perish through other means.

Even if the Church of the Sun King has some means, at most it can only contend with Adir at this moment. Not only will it be a losing proposition, but it will also consume the infinite power it has accumulated in the past, further prolonging the process of the Sun King's revival.

Without a doubt, this option is extremely unprofitable for the Church of the Sun.

Therefore, as long as Adir doesn't go too far, the Church of the Sun King will definitely not take action against him.

In fact, in order to keep Adir quiet for the foreseeable future and prevent him from targeting the Church of the Sun King, the Church of the Sun King will most likely take the initiative to make overtures.

Adir had already anticipated these reactions, and the final result would most likely be the same.

Of course, as a deeply rooted and powerful church of gods, Adir would not want to provoke them unless absolutely necessary.

After all, there's no point in doing something that doesn't bring any benefit.

What he was really thinking about at that moment was his next goal.

Advancing to demigod status and becoming the first being in the entire material world to enter the realm of gods is certainly a huge first-mover advantage, but if one stagnates, one is also very likely to be surpassed by others.

Given the current changes in the world, Adir estimates that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, a powerful figure capable of matching him will emerge within a hundred years at most.

Once that time comes, Adir's first-mover advantage will be greatly reduced, and with the mutual constraints, things will become increasingly complicated.

So before that, while he still had a huge advantage, Adir felt he should do something to further solidify his first-mover advantage.

He went through his thoughts and finally locked onto two targets.

The god of slaughter, and the church of the god of the night watch.

The churches of these two gods are extremely obvious targets.

Needless to say, the Church of the Night Watchman God has caused Adir a lot of trouble over the past few decades, leaving Adir with a very bad impression.

Moreover, Angola's future path to deification also needs to be found within the Church of the Night Watch.

As one of the chosen ones who inherited part of the Night Watch God's divine essence, if Angolan wants to truly embark on the path to godhood, he must defeat the other chosen ones of the Night Watch God and acquire all the divine essence of the Night Watch God into his own body. Only then will it be possible for him to achieve this.

The role played by the Church of the Night's Watch in this process should not be underestimated.

If Angola could acquire the entire Church of the Night's Watch and control its power, its future path would undoubtedly be much smoother.

With Adir's help, it's not impossible for him to become a god in the future.

As for the Church of the God of Slaughter, this is unavoidable; we must confront it.

Long, long ago, the priest of the City of Slaughter injected a drop of blood of slaughter into Adir's body.

That drop of blood of slaughter was the source of Adir's rapid growth. It can be said that without the assistance of that drop of blood of slaughter, it would have taken at least several decades longer for Adir to reach his current level.

That drop of blood of slaughter was being refined by Adir's divine fire. At this moment, the essence of the god of slaughter contained within it was directly melted into Adir's body, into his demigod form.

This certainly made Adir's demigod body extremely powerful, making him a senior among demigods, but it also offended the Church of the God of Slaughter.

Without a doubt, in order to reclaim this part of the God of Slaughter's divinity and essence, the Church of the God of Slaughter will go to great lengths to cause trouble for Adir, just to take back the part of the God of Slaughter's essence within him.

The conflict between the two is irreconcilable. Even if Adir doesn't take the initiative to contact the other party, the other party will come looking for Adir sooner or later.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to take the initiative and actively seek out the Church of the God of Slaughter. While we still have a huge first-mover advantage, we can directly crush them to the bottom.

It can even be used to obtain the remaining fragments of the God of Slaughter's divine essence.

After ascending to demigod status, if Adir wants to go further in the future, he will eventually need to embark on the path of becoming a god.

In this world, to become a true god, one must wield the power of authority.

The history of this world is very ancient, and most of the powerful authority is in the hands of some ancient gods.

For example, the Sun King, an ancient supreme god, wielded the power of the sun and light, and his strength was top-notch, ranking among the top three among all the gods.

If Adir wants to advance, or even become a top god in this world, he must find a suitable authority to embark on the path to godhood.

The power to kill, in Adir's view, was quite appealing.

The God of Slaughter's strength and status are not as illustrious and ancient as the God of the Sun, but he is still not to be underestimated.

If the King of the Sun is one of the supreme gods, then the God of Slaughter is an existence below the supreme gods, second only to the supreme gods.

The power they wield is strong enough.

Moreover, the power of killing has a high enough ceiling that, theoretically, is no less than the power of the sun and light held by the Sun King.

Theoretically speaking, it also possesses the potential to ascend to the highest deity, and is an authority capable of contending with the supreme authorities such as light and destiny.

One reason is that the potential ceiling for authority is high enough.

Furthermore, Adir has already fused some of the remaining divine essence of the God of Slaughter into his body, and now he has mastered a portion of the power of slaughter.

With this power as a guide, it would be logical to continue collecting the authority of other gods of slaughter and gradually gather the remaining divine attributes of the gods of slaughter.

After all, rather than seeking a completely new authority and starting all over again, it's better to simply move forward along the path before you.

At least this is a tangible and visible path, which is far less risky than groping around on your own to find entirely new authority.

And it's also much easier.

This thought flashed through Adir's mind, and then he looked into the distance, a smile slowly spreading across his face.
