Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Seeing her seemingly collapsing faith, Ross said softly, "Celia, the age of the gods is over. No matter how they try to glorify it, they cannot cover up the evil deeds they committed, especially Zeuddin, who became the king of the gods twice, was even more wicked."

"Twice became...God King?" Celia murmured.

Ross nodded. "Yes, in an era much earlier than mine, during the time when Zeus was the God-King, a thousand-year-long war for faith was triggered. The war only stopped when a demigod stood up to resist and, with his demigod body, seized his position as God-King."

"Unfortunately, that demigod was good at fighting, but not good at ruling. After the Star Spirit Tree became abnormal and went into a period of silence, Zeuding took the opportunity to take back his position."

"What was that demigod's name?"

"God of War, Clarks."

"The God of War, Kluck... It seems there is no such god. The Holy Court records only mention the God of War and Peace."

"Nonsense, he's Zeuding's mortal enemy. How could Zeuding possibly reserve a divine position for him?"

"..."

"Therefore, you don't need to be unable to accept the secrets of Zeus. That is his nature. As I just said, this is not the age of gods, but the age of humans. You have ruled this continent alone for five hundred years, and the gods of the old era are getting further and further away from you."

"I see……"

"Yes, cheer up and listen to Jonathan's method for breaking the seal."

"Ok."

Celia pricked up her ears and looked intently at Jonathan.

Seeing this, Jonathan slowly said, "There are three key points to the unsealing method. First, you must be devout to Lord Ross. Second, after setting up the summoning circle, you must hold the divine spark of the main god as the core of the circle, resonate with the divine spark, and pray to Lord Ross. Third, the level of divine contract must be high..."

Jonathan carefully explained their solution to the lockdown to Celia, word by word, so that Ross would indirectly learn about it through Celia.

Jonathan has already explained the principles; now the main focus will be on setting up the summoning circle.

This is quite troublesome; it requires preparing a lot of things, including a large amount of intermediate-level magic crystals.

Jonathan seemed to have tried it, and the process and rune patterns came easily to him. He even demonstrated a rune pattern that was shrunk a hundred times on the spot.

Celia examined the runes Jonathan had drawn carefully and couldn't help but mutter, "Such complicated runes... but at least 50% of them are redundant."

She spoke very softly, but the perceptive Jonathan still heard her.

Just as Jonathan was about to get angry, he suddenly remembered Ross on her and gave his approval.

Jonathan looked at her and asked, "Speaking of which, why did Lord Ross have feelings for Miss Celia?"

Celia replied, "I accidentally summoned Lord Ross."

"careless?"

What does 'accidentally' mean?

Celia nodded very honestly: "Yes, I just demonstrated to the heretics of the Abyss Order how to summon an evil god, and then I summoned Lord Ross."

Jonathan frowned. "Lord Ross is not an evil god; he is the greatest god of the Starfall Continent."

Celia replied innocently, "Celia doesn't know."

Jonathan: "..."

Although he found it a bit outrageous, Jonathan was extremely envious and jealous.

He sighed and said, "If only you had been born during a time of calamity, the world wouldn't have become this wretched place."

"What the hell has this world become?" Celia asked, bewildered.

"You haven't seen the light of a thousand years ago, so you naturally don't know how dark it is now. However, compared to the era of calamity, things are much better now. The long night has passed, the sky is gradually brightening, and dawn is approaching."

“Celia, Lord Ross has instructed me to stay here until his return. I cannot offer you any further assistance, but I possess a treasure here—a weapon left behind by Lord Ross—that may prove useful to you.”

With that, Jonathan got up, went to another room, carefully took out a box, placed it on the table, and opened it.

Celia looked over curiously.

Inside was a sword, a sword with a peculiar shape.

Jonathan picked up the sword and said softly, "This is the sword that Lord Ross once used. He named it the Sword of Myriad Lights. He bestowed this sword upon me, but I did not know how to use a sword, so I kept it as a treasure. Now, I give it to you. Please treat it well."

Chapter 252 Farewell

The Sword of Ten Thousand Lights has an overall shape that resembles symmetrical condensations of light. It is slender and long, and apart from being pretty, it looks quite ordinary.

But when Celia held it in her hand, she immediately felt the terrifying power emanating from the sword.

"This sword...it's beautiful...it's so powerful, can I really use it?" Celia murmured to herself.

Ross examined it for a moment and said, "This sword was crafted by me using mods. It was an early sword I used, but its stats couldn't keep up, and since I don't use swords much anymore, I gave it to Jonathan. But Jonathan is a boxer, so he's not very good with swords either."

"What tier can this sword be used at?" Celia asked.

"Sixth tier, I guess. Once you surpass the limits of humanity, it becomes useless."

"Sixth rank..."

There aren't many sixth-tier mages around these days. If I take this sword out, people will probably fight over it, right? Celia thought to herself.

Ross's phantom appeared and said, "Give me the sword, and I will seal the power within it to make it fit your rank and hide its attributes so that others cannot tell that this is a sixth-rank sword."

"it is good."

Celia handed over the sword.

When the Sword of Myriad Lights touched Ross's mental energy, it immediately emitted a strong light, and the sword seemed to tremble, as if it was happy to meet its master.

However, under Ross's manipulation, the light of the Myriad Lights Sword gradually dimmed, until only a faint glow remained, which was not very noticeable.

Celia took it back and found that she could now control the sword at will.

"But I'm not a swordsman either... This sword may also be lost to oblivion..."

Ross smiled slightly: "It's alright. The job definition for a mage isn't that strict. If you have a sword, you're a swordsman; if you have a staff, you're a mage; and if you concentrate magic in your fist, you're a fist fighter."

"Similarly, weapons are not so strictly defined. They can all use magic. Staffs can also be used for close combat and can use sword energy. Naturally, swords can also use magic."

Celia: "This..."

She had never seen anyone use a sword as a staff before.

I've never seen a swordsman use a staff in close combat.

The thought of that scene made Celia feel uneasy.

Normally, the emphasis of each weapon will cause changes in the corresponding spell bonuses.

Using a sword to cast spells is no different from using spells with bare hands... to Celia.

Ross laughed and said, "In the Thousand Lights Sword, I used universal runes, which can be used smoothly for sword energy spells and enchantments. However, this also makes it rather mediocre. Among sixth-tier weapons, it is considered quite ordinary."

"But... but I'm only at the second tier!"

Celia tried it out and found that casting magic with the Myriad Lights Sword was not much different from casting magic with a staff.

"The puppet can use this sword, and I'll use my original staff!"

Jonathan smiled slightly as he saw Celia playing with the Myriad Lights Sword: "I'm glad you like it, Miss Celia. I have quite a few magic crystals here, which are used to test whether Lord Ross can be summoned. Take any you want."

Celia's eyes lit up: "Really? Can I really take it?"

Jonathan nodded. "Sure."

Celia had already noticed a box nearby, which appeared to contain many intermediate-level magic crystals, as well as quite a few high-level magic crystals.

With Jonathan's permission, she went over immediately.

Jonathan looked at her, then suddenly remembered something, his expression changing, "Wait a minute..."

boom!

Suddenly, the treasure chest containing the magic crystal burst forth with a fierce light.

Celia stared at the explosion that engulfed her, drenched in sweat.

Jonathan quickly walked over and apologized, "Sorry, sorry, it's just a little habit of mine. Everything here is a trap; the real magic crystal is behind us."

Celia: "..."

Jonathan was also terrified.

Fortunately, they intervened in time, and Celia is unharmed.

This Celia is obviously very important to Lord Ross. If she gets hurt, wouldn't I be doomed?

He was extremely relieved that Celia and Elena had not been injured while passing the next test; if they had, heaven knows how Ross would have punished them.

After Celia went to retrieve some high-grade and mid-grade magic crystals, Ross's phantom reappeared.

He looked at Jonathan and said, "Jonathan, you should stay here. Your physical condition is no longer suitable for leaving the warp. You will age rapidly if you go out. Wait for me here."

"Yes!"

Ross seemed to remember something and added, "Oh right, give Celia and Elena each a certificate for the 12th floor, any 12th floor."

Jonathan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

"Don't rush to agree. This certificate isn't for the two of them to use when they come back. Someone outside wants to buy it. He wants to clear the ruins, control them, and exchange it for a hefty reward. Hmm, Celia doesn't like that person."

Jonathan paused for a moment, then immediately understood and chuckled, "I understand. I'll treat that 'friend' well."

Seeing Jonathan's smile, Ross nodded. "Let those adventurers outside treat this place as an ordinary ruin. Don't kill indiscriminately. You also need to be careful to hide and not be discovered. Our enemies may be hiding among the crowd."

"Yes!"

"Goodbye, Jonathan, live and wait for me."

"must!"

"..."

Two orbs of light emerged from the void and slowly converged in front of Celia and Elena.

Celia picked up the voucher, went to the sleeping Elena, and patted Elena on the shoulder.

Elena woke up groggily, looked at Celia, and said blankly, "My God, you finally agreed to let me return to protect the Elven race... Huh? Celia?"

Celia patted Elena on the shoulder. "I agree."

Elena's cheeks quickly flushed red.

Celia said with a grin, "Alright, it's time to get up and go back."

Elena slowly came to her senses, saw Jonathan smiling beside her, and immediately lowered her head, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Lord Jonathan, I think I fell asleep."

Jonathan shook his head and smiled, "It's alright."

A cloud of mist slowly formed at the entrance.

Celia gave Elena her credentials, then waved to Jonathan, "Well then, we'll be going now, Mr. Jonathan. We'll come to see you often in the future."

Jonathan said happily, "Okay, remember to come!"

"They will definitely come!"

Celia nodded emphatically, then pulled the bewildered Elena away, disappearing into the mist.

Jonathan watched the two disappear with lingering reluctance, and after a long while, he sighed with a sense of loss.

"Great Lord of the Falling Stars, God of the Stars, Eternal and One God, my Lord Ross, rest assured, I will strive to live until that time, to witness your arrival, to witness you sweep the old gods into the dustbin of history, and to witness your long-cherished wish—to walk towards the stars."

……

There was a bonus chapter in the previous post, did you see it?

Chapter 253 Holy crap, so fast?

"How did I fall asleep?"

Elena kept thinking about this question even after returning to the camp.

Knowing the specifics, Celia simply smiled and said, "You learned about the deeds of the Elf God and where he was, and you fainted in your excitement. That's perfectly normal."

"really?"

Elena was still puzzled.

Celia said helplessly, "What's the point of you worrying about this?"
