People inside the temple and castle were running out, creating chaos.

Furthermore, when it was destroyed, the remaining magic power of the magic circle was released instantly, causing a thick purple magical mist to rise above the castle, which then transformed into a violent shock that spread throughout the entire city!

In that instant, Ross took over Celia's body, probing his mental power into the magic circle and activating the detailed rune modules that were no longer integrated with the magic circle due to the patching and repairs. He then used the last bit of magic power of these runes to transform them into the final light protecting the city and withstand the impact.

The shockwave spread throughout the city, and under Ross's control, the shockwave successfully saved the city's buildings at the cost of destroying all the rune modules.

"No! My thousand-year-old castle!" The city lord's legs went weak, and he knelt down on the spot, letting out a desperate cry.

The city lord was furious.

Fueled by this rage, his puppet broke through its speed limit and instantly rushed in front of the 'puppet'.

"Damn bastard!"

boom!

The city lord's puppet punched the 'puppet' in the face, denting his cheek.

However, the 'puppet' seemed oblivious, allowing him to beat it.

Having landed a successful blow, the city lord, as if divinely aided, delivered another punch, slamming the 'puppet' into the plaza below, creating a crater.

Just then, the 'puppet' seemed to realize what was happening, quickly stood up, and rushed forward.

Vanessa looked ahead in the direction he was going and suddenly saw a small figure appear in front of him.

Very familiar.

Vanessa's expression changed drastically: "Celia? Run!"

After the magic circle was destroyed, Celia's figure appeared before everyone.

At this moment, she was in a daze because Ross had instantly taken control of her body to protect the city, and then let her regain control of her body. She didn't react for a moment.

At the same time, the magic circle was forcibly destroyed, along with her mage hand, which also affected her mental power, and her disguise disappeared.

Vanessa's voice reached her ears, and she slowly came to her senses.

However, at this moment, the 'puppet' had already rushed to a distance of only three meters.

But! The enraged city lord was even faster than him!

"Want to run?"

The city lord's puppet rushed up behind him and punched him hard in the back of the head!

boom!

With a furious punch from the city lord, the 'puppet's' body was blasted into scrap metal.

At the same time, a faint sea-blue phantom shot out from the 'puppet' and entered Celia's body at an extremely fast speed.

Celia's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed limply. Before losing consciousness, she heard Vanessa's desperate cries.

“Celia!”

Chapter 203 Ross: Trying to run? Come on in!

"You're in good shape; you're mine now."

This is the declaration Ethel made when she entered Celia's mental space.

He knew that this girl with such a high level of divine affinity must have been possessed by some false god.

After numerous tests, he has confirmed that he is not one of the twelve main gods, not the God King, and certainly not the evil god he fears most.

No, and he appeared so weak, relying entirely on the city's magic array to fight, and didn't dare to confront them head-on at all.

What is there to be afraid of?

Ethel believed that even if he crashed, he wouldn't be afraid; at worst, he could just run away if things went wrong.

Then he saw Ross smiling in Celia's mental space.

That familiar image immediately stirred up a deep-seated fear within me.

"Ross?!"

Ethel stared at Ross in shock: "You broke the seal?!"

The next moment, he turned around without hesitation and was about to leave.

However, at that moment, Ross's mental energy transformed into countless threads, instantly flying to Ethel and sealing off his escape route.

Ross chuckled and said, "This isn't the place to fight. Elbow, come inside with me."

After saying that, Ross used his mental energy to form threads that tightly bound Ethel and dragged her toward him.

Ross snapped his fingers, and a spinning black hole appeared behind him. He turned and walked into it, followed by Ethel, who was struggling incessantly.

"Ross, you monster!"

Ethel let out a final roar before being dragged into the black hole.

When he reappeared, he looked around at the darkness.

"Is this... the Endless Abyss?"

He paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, so you haven't been unsealed yet, huh? Hahahaha!"

Rose's smile vanished.

boom!

He punched Ethel's spirit, smashing his head.

After his mind was reconstructed, he said calmly, "I hate it when people bark like dogs in front of me."

Ethel's smile, which had been rekindled, vanished, and then slowly turned ugly.

"How...how exactly did you pull me into the seal of the endless abyss?"

Ross smiled and said, "Isn't this a seal you set up specifically? It's difficult to get out, but anyone can come in. You've put a lot of thought into preventing anyone from breaking the seal from the outside."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and countless extremely precious materials came from all directions, converging in front of him to form the figure of Ethel.

“I won’t bully you. This body was constructed for you using many god-level materials. I prepared it for you back when I was able to observe the Starfall Continent.”

He slapped Ethel's soul onto the condensed body, forcibly merging it with the body.

"Although I cannot help you reunite your divine essence, I can still provide your body with the corresponding power by simulating your divine essence."

Ross patted Ethel on the shoulder, and Ethel's aura quickly rose.

Then, Ross took two steps back, adopted a stance similar to Wing Chun, and beckoned to him.

"Come on, let's have a fight. Don't worry, you still have value, I won't kill you."

Ethel's soul was merging into this body, and his expression shifted between light and shadow.

Rose's actions were an insult to him.

But he couldn't beat him.

I thought that even if the God King came, it would be a tentative arrival that wouldn't back down, but unexpectedly it was Ross who arrived in the end.

The least likely person to appear.

If the seal is broken, the twelve main gods who set up the seal will sense it and take appropriate action.

They thought Ross knew that the seal had been broken without triggering their senses, but somehow he managed to break through the seal and enter other people's mental space.

A method I never expected.

Ethel's eyes gradually cleared, and he said calmly, "Ross, I lost. Kill me. There's no need to humiliate me like this. I won't fight you and invite further humiliation."

Ross raised an eyebrow: "Quite a fiery temper."

A terrifying divine power was instantly unleashed, pressing down on Ethel.

Ethel's face was covered in cold sweat, and her body swayed as if she were about to collapse, but she still looked straight at Ross with a resolute expression: "It's no use. Ever since we were stripped of everything by the god-king Zeuding, I've come to terms with it. The only reason we've lived until now is because we're unwilling to accept it. But since you've captured us... that's fine too. You are a demon, but you also brought prosperity to the world. It's better to die at your hands than at the hands of that beast Zeuding."

"Ok?"

Ross withdrew his divine power and sat down on the spot. "Tell me in detail, what did Zeuding do?"

Ethel stared at Ross and said slowly, "Did you think I would tell you?"

Ross said indifferently, "Whatever. Say what you want, or don't. But looking at you like this, it's like you have some deep-seated grudge against Zeuding. Tsk tsk, a god-king who was defeated and then usurped the throne again. You should believe that demigod rather than him."

Ethel fell silent, then slowly said, "He betrayed us. During the Age of Calamity, when the gods slept, he suddenly went to hunt them down and steal their divine status."

"He said that only by merging the power of all the gods could he completely kill you. He lied to us. He stole the divine status just to become the only god."

"At the end of the calamity, we united to wage a final divine war against him, forcing him into slumber. We also fell into slumber once more, but this time, we did not let him know the place where we slumbered."

"Before falling into slumber, we shattered the divine essences of all the fallen gods and scattered them throughout the world, severing his desire to merge with the divine essences. However, he still harbored treacherous intentions and secretly used various methods to search for the whereabouts of the gods."

Ross suddenly realized: "So Zeus wants to purge the Divine Court, huh? That's great!"

"A good thing? Hmph, it would be a good thing if he came down, broke your seal, and killed you."

"That's great, I was just afraid he wouldn't come."

Ross smiled.

He knew Ethel wouldn't tell the whole story.

He may be telling the truth, but he will only tell part of it; he won't tell the important parts.

For example, why did Zeus suddenly want to seize the divine power? Merging with the divine power is not such an easy thing.

For example, after they fell into slumber, why did he secretly become a heretical god, using an alias, to absorb unpalatable and polluted beliefs?

The Celestial Tree can condense divine authority, and in the process of condensing authority, it forms demonic energy. To the gods, this demonic energy is no different from excrement, but Ethel can endure the stench and still eat it while pinching her nose.

Perhaps other gods are like this too.

There's no secret behind this, Ross certainly wouldn't believe it.

Judging from Ethel's expression, the other party definitely won't tell.

Rose didn't seem to care.

He wasn't interested in the reasons why others ate shit.

He was more interested in something else.

"I'm asking you, do you know where the other main gods, and even the God King, are?"

Chapter 204 Soul Healing

Celia opened her eyes groggily and found herself in what seemed to be a deluxe king room in a hotel.

"Celia, are you feeling better? You scared me to death."

Vanessa's voice came from beside her. Celia sat up, rubbed her forehead, and the memories before she fainted quickly came to mind.

Something seemed to float out of the puppet, impacting his soul, and then he passed out. After that…

Rose's voice echoed in her mind: "It's that god hidden in the puppet. He wanted to possess your body and be reborn, but I pulled him into the sealed land."

"What does 'possession' mean?" Celia asked, puzzled.

“Erase your soul, take over your body, you can call it divine intervention—only a god can do that.”

Celia shuddered: "I know about divine descent. The original saintess was a vessel for the gods to descend, but the gods only descend temporarily and don't erase the soul. Evil gods are terrifying!"

Ross said with a half-smile, "Even the evil god didn't erase your soul."

"Then... he's a demon, yes, demons are terrifying!"

After communicating with Ross in her mind and learning about the situation, in reality, facing Vanessa's concern, Celia nodded, "Much better, thank you, Mama Vanessa. Where am I?"

Vanessa said, "This is the city lord's castle... the Southern Tavern outside. Tell me, how did you end up there?"

Celia said innocently, "I was taking a walk."

"A walk?" Vanessa looked skeptical. "I remember the bishop contacted me last night when it was already past midnight. You went for a walk in the middle of the night?"

Celia's mind raced, and various excuses flashed through her head. Finally, she adopted an apologetic attitude: "I'm sorry, Vanessa Mama. Actually, I didn't know that Southern City had suddenly imposed a curfew and I couldn't get into the hotel. When I was about to go to the temple for help, I found that the temple was also closed. So I had no choice but to stay in the square for the night. Who knew that I would run into you fighting with the heretics?"
