"We don't need to beat around the bush anymore."

Seele said bluntly, "Prometheus, I don't care what you've been through in the past, but at least now, Brother Ling Shu is my family."

"Even if we were to concede that we both agreed to convert, we still cannot do it now."

"Because, Brother Ling Shu has only been here for less than a year."

There is no doubt that Seele is currently using the 'conversion rule' as a pretext.

It should be noted that anyone who receives 'divine grace' must remain under the command of the corresponding supreme deity for a full year before converting to another religion.

Converting to a religion is not something that can be done casually.

This is a rule established by all the gods.

Of course, if the corresponding deity is sent back to the heavens... or even enters a ten-thousand-year resurrection period, or directly 'falls' and loses the protection of 'divine grace', the beings in the lower realm can still 'convert' immediately.

This is precisely the reason why Ling Shu mentioned that 'Suma was lucky' when he saved Bell.

And now...

Prometheus certainly wouldn't say something to Seele that shows a lack of emotional intelligence, like, "If you don't agree to convert, I'll just kill you."

She still smiled confidently...

"That's why I said you don't understand anything, Frigga."

The blue-eyed girl (god) stated frankly: "In fact, the 'Heavenly Fire' was something I prepared for Solomon."

"As long as he absorbs the 'Heavenly Fire' and combines it with his own characteristics, he can become an existence like us (the gods)... or even above us (the gods)."

"Thinking about it that way...that makes sense."

Prometheus smiled slightly. "I was too hasty."

"Anyway, by then, whether or not one 'converts' will not matter."

"only……"

She reminded Ling Shu again, "The 'gift' I left you is now coveted by others."

"You may have to take it back yourself."

Chapter 322 Finally, we know who the boss of this level is!

"Is the legendary 'Heavenly Fire' a gift that can turn me into a 'god,' or even surpass a 'god'?"

Inside the reception room, Ling Shu rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

He knew that the Heavenly Fire also had the alternative names of 'Primordial Fire' and 'Subspecies Divine Power'.

Because it is powerful enough, in the original future trajectory of the current world, the corrupted ancient hero 'Epimetheus' intends to fully master its power and use it to try to defeat the black dragon.

Yes, the great hero Yan Jian, who had been insulted and regarded as a 'loser' by countless people, had the idea that 'since you think I'm no good, then I'll do the most difficult thing to prove you wrong.'

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with this idea.

To put it bluntly, some ungrateful people don't deserve to be saved.

The problem is that his approach is too extreme.

Firstly, Epimetheus had only received the core protection of the 'Heavenly Fire' before, which gradually gave him the powerful ability to 'annihilate an island with a single blow'.

The priestesses who later formed the 'Order of Prometheus', even with the blessing of separation, possessed strength comparable to 'Level 2 Adventurers'.

But... unfortunately, to this day, no one, including Epimetheus, has been able to fully master the full power of the 'Heavenly Fire'.

So Epimetheus devised a plan...

Over the long span of three thousand years, the 'Heavenly Fire' was first contaminated by the negative emotions of the mortal realm, and it was on the verge of going berserk at any moment.

At this point, ostensibly, the 'Goddess of Sacred Fire' is sent to purify the corrupted flames. Then, during this process, the divinely crafted weapon 'Flaming Vulture Greatsword' is used to pierce the Goddess of Sacred Fire's abdomen and devour her internal organs…

As one of the god-slaying weapons, the 'Flaming Vulture Greatsword' has the effect of 'controlling the gods whose internal organs it devours'.

If a god were to control the divine fire, which had become hellfire, and Epimetheus were to use the Fiery Eagle Sword to control that god... he would be able to indirectly control all the power of the divine fire.

At that time, defeating the Black Dragon will become an easy task.

only……

When the corrupted Heavenly Fire... also known as 'Hellfire' goes berserk, it will unleash destructive power comparable to 'Smite'.

In other words, before Epimetheus successfully defeats the black dragon, all other creatures in the underworld will perish.

But this ancient hero, who has already turned to the dark side, doesn't care about any of that.

There's a kind of "destroy it already" attitude of giving up, and an obsession with "I must do the hardest thing and make those bastards regret it."

Little did they know that these two things were already contradictory.

at the moment……

"So, my enemy this time is just that ancient hero named 'Epimetheus'?"

Ling Shu felt no pressure.

You see, the reason he felt the events related to the 'Heavenly Fire' were difficult to resolve was ultimately because he wasn't sure how to purify the 'polluted divine fire'.

After all, Bell is now a member of the Frigga Familia, and Hestia... no, the key item 'Hestia's Blade' has never been forged.

He doesn't have the two hundred million daggers yet, and Bell is only Lv.1, without awakening the super-bugged 'Argonaut' skill that can amplify even divine power...

In other words, the 'Argo Vesta', which could fuse with Hestia's divine power and extinguish the divine fire in one strike, no longer has any prerequisites for its release.

What the hell is this?

Therefore, Ling Shu had been worried, "Could it be that we have no choice but to sacrifice Hestia (the Goddess of Sacred Fire)?"

To be honest, he really disliked this kind of thing.

Although this 'world-ending disaster' has erupted ahead of schedule once again, Hestia was not originally supposed to be sacrificed.

Before transmigrating, Ling Shu had a very straightforward personal opinion when reading many fantasy novels about human beings—

In other words, if the appearance and intervention of a 'fan fiction protagonist' causes the death of a non-evil original character who could have survived, then it can only prove that this 'fan fiction protagonist' is a useless teammate.

After all, without you... they're doing just fine.

With you around, they just sent it directly?

If that's not a terrible teammate, then what is it?

Of course, protagonists who are villains are a different story.

Then it's not a question of whether something is useless or not.

In short...

"Since I can solve this myself... and even directly 'absorb' the polluted divine fire and turn it into nutrients for my own transformation, then solving this matter will not be difficult."

That's what Ling Shu himself thinks.

Uh... although saying this might be a little hurtful, but...

He never really took the corrupted 'Epimetheus' seriously from the beginning.

Is destroying an island in one strike really that strong?

Yes, it is very strong.

I doubt even a level 9 Empress could do that.

But that's Epimetheus's ultimate move, not a casual basic attack.

So……

Everyone has a 'secret weapon', right?

Now, Ling Shu has accumulated a pile of magic stones, and his 'magic power' is more than enough.

Are you scared of the three gods ganging up on you with all their might?

Not afraid?

How about some golden geese?

The real 'Smite' was pushed back head-on by you. Are you afraid that it won't be able to subdue a half-baked guy like you who can't even use the full power of 'Heavenly Fire'?

however……

"You don't seem to understand what I mean."

Inside the reception room, Prometheus said solemnly, "The 'gift' (fire from the heavens) that I prepared for you, you now need to 'take back' yourself."

Upon hearing this…

"???"

Ling Shu frowned. "You mean?"

Upon hearing his question, Prometheus sighed and said in a very helpless tone, "Epimetheus... he has 'succeeded'."

"But his resentment was actually exploited by those with ulterior motives."

The goddess of foresight slowly explained, "Not long ago, several deities secretly visited Olympia."

"One of them is Aphrodite, who has recently been helping my 'Prometheus Order' on several occasions."

"Besides her, at least three other gods secretly infiltrated the interior of 'Olympia'."

"I was unable to fully investigate their identities."

"But what can be confirmed is that two of the gods are Helios and Phaethon."

"Now, Helios has been sacrificed, and Epimetheus has become Phaethon's henchman."

Prometheus's face darkened. "Those bastards are already gradually stealing the power of the divine fire."

Ling Shu: "..."
