A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

"Why don't you leave?"

"Sir," the village chief's daughter replied tremblingly. "This is the limit. Before, when we delivered various items, we had to hand them over to the divine messengers here... We were not allowed to enter the ruins!"

And this thing?

But judging from the expressions and actions of these people, what they said should be true.

Thomas did some mental calculations.

These people were only forced to come by him, and at the critical moment, they couldn't even be cannon fodder.

Their fear of the "God's Messengers" entrenched in the ruins was deeply rooted, so if they really faced it, they would definitely abandon Thomas without hesitation.

Even if he becomes cannon fodder, it will be the cannon fodder of those "messengers of God", not his cannon fodder.

And they knew nothing about the situation inside the ruins.

In that case, it would be better to let them go.

Thomas is a civilized man after all, and he would not kill if he could.

"...Sir, you said that I only needed to bring you here..."

"I'm a man of my word," Thomas said. "But you," he pointed at the village chief's daughter, "are going in with me!"

The hostages must be in hand to ensure that these guys will not warn the group of mysterious gods in the ruins.

"Yes, sir!" Several villagers hurried away as if they had heard of an amnesty.

Whatever happens here next is not their business!

Chapter 12 Ruins 2

The villagers left and Thomas tied the horse to a nearby tree.

There are no outsiders here and the horses are safe.

As long as Thomas could get back, he didn't worry about the horse being lost - of course, it wouldn't matter even if it was lost.

The journey is not very far. If you don't have a horse, you can just go back and buy another one.

Walk down the hillside, following a well-trodden path.

Thomas walked in front, and the village chief's daughter followed tremblingly behind.

Judging from the growth rate of grass and trees, this path will be covered if no one walks on it for one or two months.

But it's still there, proving that the residents of these ruins—regardless of whether those messengers are magicians or something else—often have contact with the outside world.

They are not living in seclusion, but obviously want to do something here.

The only explanation is some kind of research...

Thomas's footsteps were already very light, but they still made noises when he stepped on the thick fallen leaves.

What should I do next?

First courtesy, then force? Strive for negotiation?

Or should he just attack directly? Or launch a surprise attack?

He was still hesitant and didn't know what to do.

After all, Rostislav has been sent here for quite a long time, and it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Thomas, do you feel that?"

Just as Thomas was walking slowly along the path towards the ruins of the ancient city, suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind.

"Senior Prasda!"

Thomas was shocked.

Prasda was severely injured and is now intermittent and unable to maintain long-term consciousness.

This was especially true after he had used the "Tranquility Field" last time. It was obvious that doing that was an excessive burden for him.

"I feel... the breath of divine power..." said Prasda.

What? Divine power?

Thomas was shocked again. How could this place...

"I just woke up. I think it was stimulated by this aura." Prasda continued. "Why, are you going to challenge a god?"

"A god?" Not a magician?

Thomas had a thousand thoughts running through his mind, and he quickly made a decision.

There is no such thing as courtesy before force, and no such thing as negotiation.

If the opponent was a god, Thomas did not have the confidence to face the entire opponent head-on and win.

The opponent's hostility is obvious enough, so it is best to choose a sneak attack.

"It's very likely a plague god, Senior, can you determine his origin?"

"No, I can only sense divine power. This also means that a certain god is here and has used his power to do something."

Thomas looked at the surrounding woods with a calm expression.

But he had already taken out his own weapons in his hands, including a double-barreled flintlock rifle and a long sword.

Sorted out one by one.

Things in the dimensional bag tend to shift around easily after being left there for a long time, so it's important to tidy them up before a fight.

After going down the small path, you will reach the main gate of the ancient city.

But Thomas stopped midway. He wouldn't just go straight ahead like that.

He put on a magic eyepatch.

Then we changed direction and took a small detour to enter the city from the other side.

Although the city gate is easier to walk through, the entire ruins are full of entrances and exits for people to enter and exit, so it doesn't matter.

To prevent those "divine messengers" from installing those warning traps on the necessary routes...

A few minutes later, Thomas landed in a corner of the city.

Using the magic eye mask, he observed his surroundings through grayscale vision. The divine power was indeed reflected in his magical vision, and he could see that the entire surrounding environment was filled with a chaotic, dim light.

It's like someone was scribbling something with some kind of glowing dust.

Just as I was observing the environment, I heard a sound.

Someone rang the bell.

The sound of the bells echoed throughout the ruins of the ancient city.

Thomas saw a stranger in a robe walk out of the basement exit of a ruined building and walk down the street.

The hurried pace clearly showed that he was in a hurry.

The bell should be a signal to summon.

Thomas followed from behind and determined the direction of the stranger's movement.

It was obviously the house in the city center.

Thomas came forward from behind, sword in hand.

The man was completely defenseless and was stabbed from behind by Thomas, who was approaching from behind. His cervical vertebrae and throat were cut open, drowning his life and his last scream in silence.

By the way, Thomas pulled the body into the ruins on the side.

Although I can't hide too much, I'll hide it for a while.

Not only that, while pulling the corpse, Thomas also pulled open the other person's robe.

This person's body...

It's creepy just to look at it.

The man's body was filled with decay, ulcers, and abscesses.

So much so that just one glance made Thomas feel nauseous...

Thomas felt that he was not a fragile person. He had been to the battlefield more than once, not only in the open field, but also in sieges and urban fighting. He had also seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and his psychological strength had long been tempered.

But now I realize that my mental quality is far from enough!

Hemp egg!

He was furious and had no regrets about his decision.

Even if it was a dishonorable sneak attack...

It would be better if these inexplicable messengers of God died sooner rather than later!

He cast a spell on himself to make his movements lighter and faster, then he went around the opponent from the side.

Although these ruins are not habitable, there are indeed some basements that can be used for living.

Here, I saw another person in a long robe walking forward.

This time, Thomas first cast an invisibility spell on himself.

Then approach quietly and attack again!

Another one was killed with one sword.

On the other side, the woman standing far behind Thomas was sweating all over and her scalp was tingling.

This man disappears and reappears...

Killing the divine messengers one by one with one sword...without any changes in his movements...

She knew very well that each of these gods had great power.

But now, he can only be killed by Thomas like cutting weeds!

Chapter 13 Ruins 3

This feeling……

It can only be called unscrupulous.

She had originally thought that after Thomas came to her house, she would at least negotiate first and try to redeem the person. If the negotiation failed, she would then take action.

Just like in her village.

I didn't expect this man to be so... so... rampant!

I never thought about "negotiation" from the beginning.

It was as if these gods with incredible powers were nothing but prey in front of him.

He came here with the purpose of hunting from the beginning.

Not only that, a powerful aura emanated from the man.

I can feel that wonderful aura from a long distance away.

It’s hard to describe this feeling, but this man is like a transparent, blazing flame.

Thousands of energies gathered in one body.

He is high and mighty, yet ruthless and ruthless.

Not only martial arts, this man also possesses miraculous powers.

His figure kept disappearing, and then reappeared after a sneak attack on a messenger of God.

This ability...is obviously invisibility.

Thomas followed the diagonal angle all the way around.

The strategy of invisibility and sneak attack allowed him to kill six so-called messengers of God with almost no resistance.

Then we came to a building.

In this ruined city, several renovated buildings are very eye-catching.
