Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Because this badge is bound to the student's magic using a binding method similar to that of a magic puppet, once the badge is lost, the magic within it will be depleted and it will become unusable.

Therefore, Celia entered the city very smoothly without exposing her disguise.

This relieved her slightly.

"If it's exposed, it will be very difficult to hide."

Fortunately.

Silently infiltrating... no, entering Southern City, Celia curiously observed the long-eared elves and beast-eared orc girls, and suddenly posed a thought-provoking question:

"Some orc races are like elves, except for their ears and fur, and at most, they have a tail. So why aren't elves considered orcs?"

“Because the elves have their own gods, while the orcs only have one beast god,” Ross said.

"Oh, I see. No wonder."

Celia suddenly realized.

Currently, Celia has no connection with the Elven race or the Orc Empire. After glancing at them out of curiosity, she stopped paying attention and began strolling through the streets of Southern City.

"First find an inn, then go to the Sorcerer's Market or the Sorcerer's Guild and buy a few hundred blank scrolls..."

After comparing several hotels, Celia chose one that was relatively close to the Southern City Temple. This hotel was more expensive, but both the environment and the service were better, which Celia liked.

Of course, she had another ulterior motive.

"I don't believe we can destroy the temple in Southern Border City this time!"

The girl desperately needed to prove herself.

Ross remained silent.

After she booked the room, he had her summon the puppet, possessed the puppet's body, and then took out the fragment of the Sea God's divine essence from Celia's bag.

"When you go to buy the scroll, please also buy some materials for me; I need them."

Celia watched curiously as Ross manipulated the Puppet Heart, without suspecting anything. After noting down the materials Ross requested to buy, she left the room.

After she left, Ross placed the fragment of the Sea God's divine essence on his fingertip and channeled his spiritual power into it.

The fragment of divinity began to spin at her fingertips, and a faint spiritual force, simulating the spiritual fluctuations of Celia, slowly resonated with the fragment of divinity.

"Given the sea god's caution, if we do anything to this fragment of divinity, the other party is very likely to give up immediately, and then it will be difficult to find him."

"Therefore, we must release enough bait, for example... let him feel a very compatible body, so that he can't help but ask someone to gather information."

……

The Protoss Forbidden Lands, deep within.

Inside an ordinary stone wall lies a hidden paradise.

Countless heretics of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Society are trembling as they hold prayer ceremonies in the prayer hall.

On the high platform in front of them was a person wearing a blue robe with waves, who trembled faster than the believers below.

A palpable sense of fear is spreading.

"My God...My Lord God, please calm your anger..."

"This matter... was purely accidental..."

"...We...have already sent people to recover the losses..."

"...a divine gift..."

"...We will definitely retrieve the divine artifact for our Lord God!"

"..."

"..."

"What?! The one who steals the divine gift is the perfect deep-sea sacrifice?"

"Understood! Divine Messenger, please petition the gods; we are willing to find offerings for them!"

"...Can't I go...? Why..."

"...Let him go?"

"But ever since he received divine grace, he has been unable to bear the blessings from the gods and has gone mad. Is that really okay?"

"...We deserve to die for questioning the commands of the gods. Please, divine messenger, calm your anger. The whale will forever be loyal to Lord Rost!"

"……Understood."

The headquarters of the Deep Sea Aid Society remains hidden within the Protoss Forbidden Land. Now, with divine decrees being delivered by the 'divine messengers,' they begin to take action.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on the ocean, on an island, a statue hidden within the island is emanating faint fluctuations of divine power.

"Is this bait, or a coincidence?"

"Zhou Ding, Zhou Ding, we've given you everything, you can't stop us from being reborn, can you?"

“A perfectly matched offering… In any case, let’s go see. Even Zeuding would never have imagined that I would be hiding inside a puppet of a tiny human.”

……

In the Southern City, Ross stopped the resonance of his mental power.

Everything that needed to be conveyed has been conveyed.

If the other party still doesn't make a move, then he'll have to resort to another method.

"But that method is a bit radical. It might cause the other party to sever this fragment and form an independent godhood, so they won't come over."

Ross's backup plan was to directly absorb the divine power within the fragments of the god's divine essence, thereby damaging the sea god's origin.

This method is extremely radical and will damage the integrity of the divine essence, causing the fragments of the divine essence to become unusable or even causing problems with the entire divine essence.

In this situation, a more radical deity would definitely come and steal it.

But as a sea god who would rather relinquish a portion of his divine status than reveal himself...

Ross felt that the other party might decisively sever the connection between the two, preferring to remain incompletely divine rather than expose themselves.

"This is a last resort. Divine fragments are quite precious, so don't use them unless absolutely necessary."

Just then, Celia returned from outside.

She saw Ross playing with the faintly glowing fragments of divine essence and felt a pang of envy.

"Lord Ross, is it true that you want to use this Puppet Heart to upgrade my current Puppet Heart?"

“Yes, the materials I asked you to buy are for assisting with the upgrade.” Ross nodded.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You don't need to do anything, just stay in the mental space and watch."

"Okay!"

Having already gotten used to being possessed by Ross, Celia immediately adopted a submissive posture, looking at Ross expectantly.

Ross: "..."

Chapter 193 The Sudden Curfew

The Sea God Divine Fragment is unusable by Celia; it can only be used to enhance the power of the original divine fragments in Celia's puppet.

This process is much simpler than fusing fragments of a god.

It just takes a bit of time.

The divine status of the twelve Olympian gods differs greatly from that of the lower-ranking gods, especially since the divine status possessed by Celia is a weak fragment with less than one-tenth the power of the complete version.

The process of its advancement, like Celia eating beluga whale fins, requires multiple stages.

The girl watched Ross operate within her own mental space, unable to cultivate or understand his actions, which bored her somewhat. She couldn't help but speak up:

"Lord Ross, both of these puppet hearts are water-based. Theoretically, they should be of the same origin, but why do they seem to be different to me?"

Ross said, "If you compare your Puppet Heart to a water god, then this Puppet Heart is equivalent to a sea god. Are water gods and sea gods the same?"

Celia shook her head: "They're different. The sea god is one of the twelve Olympian gods, while the water god is a common god."

As she spoke, an even more pointless idea came to her mind—

"Speaking of which, why is the sea god more powerful than the water god? Shouldn't water include the ocean?"

"Haven't you seen it in the Holy Word?"

"It's not in the sacred words. It only tells us that the sea god is one of the twelve main gods, and the water god is just an ordinary being like the other gods."

"It's very simple. The sea god became a deity earlier than the water god. At that time, humans often encountered storms at sea and prayed for the sea god's protection. The sea god's worship came from everyone along the coast and on the islands. As for the water god..."

Roston paused for a moment: "Although water includes the sea, because the water god became a god later than the sea god, the water god's authority over the sea had long been completely taken over by the sea god, and it could not be obtained. It could only exist as a god of mountains, rivers and lakes."

"Since mountains and lakes only cause disasters during the summer, prompting people to pray for divine protection, his power is incomparable to that of the sea god."

As he spoke, Ross said with a strange expression, "But the problem is, when a flood occurs, people won't think of the water god, but rather... the river god."

"The water god fought with the river god for the faith brought by the rivers and lakes. He lost to the river god and could only rely on the weak faith power generated by the sorcerer using water magic. However, water magic is characterized by its gentleness, and its attack is not as good as fire and ice, and its support is not as good as nature and holiness, so its position is very awkward."

Upon discovering the secrets of the gods, Celia became excited: "No wonder the Ice God could become one of the twelve main gods while the Water God couldn't. That's too useless... I mean, the Water God is so indifferent to fame and fortune. He really fits the saying that water benefits all things without striving."

Ross couldn't help but laugh.

Of course! Even if he died, the scattered fragments of his divine essence became the cheapest commodity, which Celia bought for 20 gold coins.

Celia felt a little guilty for making malicious assumptions about the gods, but when she heard Ross talk about the mysteries of the water, she couldn't help but feel excited.

But her excitement didn't last long before she suddenly froze.

"No, I'm using the Water Puppet Heart right now... I'm not going to end up like water... being bullied by the other candidates and ending up hiding in a corner with my blanket, crying secretly, right?"

The thought of being mocked by the victorious saintess after losing the election, laughing at her for choosing the water-based magic puppet heart instead of the more suitable ice-based one, made Celia unable to laugh.

Ross said, "The water element is only temporary. Once you reach the fourth rank, you can find an ice element puppet heart to replace it. Hmm, this time we'll find a powerful one, like the Ice God."

Ross was implying something, but Celia, unaware that the Puppet Heart was a fragment of divinity, didn't understand and only assumed that he wanted to find the most powerful ice-type Puppet Heart.

The smile that had been suppressed bloomed again.

After finishing the upgrade to the Puppet Heart, Ross put it back inside the puppet.

Celia regained control of her body, rubbed her tired shoulders, picked up a blank scroll, and began to draw.

"I'll work hard too! My goal is to defeat the minions of a fourth-tier mage!"

For the next few days, apart from eating, Celia stayed in her room, either drawing scrolls, using Ross to upgrade the Heart of the Puppet, or reviewing spells and meditating.

Alternatively, after accumulating a certain number of scrolls, you can sell the lower-tier scrolls to the Mercenary Guild in exchange for some gold coins.

In my spare time, I would contact Vanessa to let her know I was safe, inquire about the progress of the temple's reconstruction, or chat with my classmates and tutors at school.

Other than that, nothing was done.

It wasn't until half a month later that Ross successfully evolved the Puppet Heart completely.

Now it's December, and winter has arrived.

Southern City is located in the southwest of Starfall Continent. The climate here is pleasant, and it has not snowed. However, the sky is gloomy, as if a mountain rain is about to come, but it just won't.

After ending the evolution of the Puppet Heart, Ross put it back into the puppet. Instead of immediately returning the body to Celia, he went to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside.

"Well, it's about time."

"Are the heretics finally coming?"

"Yes, it's coming soon, probably tonight."

"Tonight? Okay, I'm going out tonight!"

Having regained control of her body, Celia organized all the scrolls, put them in her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and went out the door.

When she arrived at the door, she sensed the shock in the eyes of the hotel staff.

As she arrived at the door, the waiter reminded her, "Madam, our hotel closes at 10 p.m. Please make sure you return before 10 p.m."

Celia paused, then turned around. "So early? Why?"

The waiter said, "The city lord just issued an order prohibiting nighttime business operations, instructing us to close before 10 p.m. and not to open until 5 a.m. the next morning."

"What? Why?" Celia asked, puzzled.
