Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Chapter 420 Benovia, who thrives on chaos

After defeating the fourth-tier mage, Celia returned to the temple, intending to rest there and recover her magic power before doing anything else.

"I wonder how the others are doing, and whether they've found any valuable clues."

Celia muttered something to herself, then opened her bracelet and sent messages to Benovia and the other three, inquiring about their progress.

Benovia was the first to respond, saying that she had located the target magic circle node and also discovered a small heretic stronghold, which she was attacking along with the city guard.

Then came Doris, who... found nothing.

After circling twice, she heard the alarm and was on her way to the beach to provide assistance.

Phil didn't reply, and Anko was slow to respond, replying much later:

“Celia, I’ve discovered a hidden cave here. I don’t know if it’s a cellar or something, but there’s pollution flowing inside. I’ve already contacted the temple. Would you like to come and take a look?”

Celia sat up immediately: "Where?"

"West of the city, south of the point you marked, fly over here, I'll call you when you're nearby."

"Do you have any potions to restore magic power?" Celia asked.

"Yes, a lot."

"almost there."

Celia grabbed her flying broom and flew straight over.

The city of Leicester also has no-fly zones, but she can't care about that anymore.

The ritual of sacrificing souls to obtain pseudo-fourth-order heretics must be stopped.

……

Meanwhile, in the north of the city.

Benovia was helping the summoned guards tie up dozens of heretics, preparing to escort them to the temple.

"Thank you all for your help, I will take care of these heretics..."

Benovia was about to suggest that she take these heretics back with her.

The long-lost whispers of the gods suddenly surfaced in my mind.

She listened carefully for a moment and then said to the captain of the guard, "Captain, I'm sorry to trouble you. Could you please help deliver this to the temple? News has come from other places that things are very bad, and I need to rush there to provide support."

"Alright, you go ahead with your work, I'll take care of these minor roles!" the guard captain said happily, as these were all credits.

Benovia nodded, quickly left, and when she was out of sight of the guards, she took out her flying vehicle, got in, and flew towards the city center.

Her mind was focused on that connection in her mind.

Ross could not appear in Benovia's mind as freely as he could with Celia. Most of the time, he only had a wisp of mental energy, which was able to receive all the messages Benovia transmitted and give her instructions and knowledge.

It is estimated that only by obtaining the complete divine essence can one break through the seal and fully descend into Benovia's mind.

This is still a full divine contract. If the divine contract level is slightly lower, the broken seal will probably only be able to transmit a message once, and then become faint, eventually being repaired by the sealing array.

In other words, a low-level divine contract can only be established once when the magic circle is in effect, or even not at all.

"The deity has summoned me to the temple immediately. Has something happened?"

Benovia was curious.

She had received oracles from Rose before, but most of them were knowledge, and a few were instructions on what to do. The only time she had such a clear goal was when she helped Enarse.

However, the information from that time was also very vague, because the divine status had not yet been activated.

This time, they directly said that a major incident was happening there and that she needed to come to the rescue.

Benovia was curious about what important matter could be happening so quickly.

Like Celia, she completely disregarded the no-fly zone regulations, and was much faster than Celia.

During special periods, some regulations may not need to be followed.

"At this time, Duke Pharos and the bishop should have gone to the seaside. I wonder if they have contacted the Golden Apple Stone Forest."

The Golden Apple Stone Forest is several hundred kilometers away, but for high-level mages of rank four or above, it won't take long to reach it.

Only distances of a thousand kilometers or so require a little time.

Benovia thought for a moment and, during the flight, asked her mentor Elena in the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

Benovia thought for a moment, "There might be a problem over there too, and the mentors are working on it. Deep-sea monsters have appeared here, and the Golden Apple Stone Forest is also close to the ocean, so maybe they've appeared over there as well."

Benovia patted her forehead as she spoke: "I neglected that. I should have gotten along better with my classmates at school. Now I don't have their contact information and have no idea what's going on over there."

"But I don't really like this kind of thing... never mind, I'm not some kind of strategist mage, I just like reading~"

Benovia was very fast and soon arrived above the temple.

It's very peaceful here.

From the direction of the sea, lightning and thunder could be faintly seen, and the sound of thunder could be heard faintly.

Apart from that, it was very quiet.

The battles on the coast did not affect life inside the city.

By this time, it was nearly midnight, and most of the people in the city had gone to sleep.

Duke Pharos was confident and did not disturb the sleeping people. He sent troops to patrol the streets and simply told the ordinary people who were still wandering the streets to go home and sleep.

Nothing happened here.

Benovia frowned, a look of confusion on her face.

At that moment, Ross's oracle came again.

"Summon your puppet."

Benovia was taken aback and summoned the puppet.

The next moment, she saw her puppet suddenly move, enter the temple, seem to take something, then run out, past her and run outside.

The sudden change startled Benovia, her heart skipped a beat, and she frantically tried to control the puppet. Ross's voice echoed in her mind: "Don't move, follow them."

"With...could it be that..."

Benovia's face showed astonishment.

She then quickly followed the puppet and headed in one direction.

Arriving at a small alley, the puppet stopped and turned to look at Benovia: "You should stay here and not move around, or you can inform the city lord and the temple to prepare for a powerful enemy."

Benovia nodded blankly, watching her puppet walk into an ordinary house next door and disappear inside.

She could sense that after the puppet entered, it quickly went underground, circled around underground, and slowly went deeper underground.

"Underground?" Benovia thought of something, and after carefully sensing it, she immediately felt the pollution flowing underground like a storm.

This pollution flows underground, and you can't feel it at all unless you look closely.

But upon closer inspection, you will see its ferocity.

Benovia had no doubt that the pollution was even more terrifying than the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

"So, the gods are controlling my puppet to go underground and resolve this rampant pollution?"

Benovia's lips curled up slightly.

As expected, the gods did indeed say the same thing as Hero.

But then, Benovia came up with another bold idea.

"However, according to the records of the Holy Court, the God is the god who controls pollution. It is also possible that he absorbs this pollution and then descends to the world."

A strange look flashed in Benovia's eyes, as if she was looking forward to this moment.

Chapter 421 The Deep Sea Plan

Because Celia's puppet was destroyed, Ross, who had to borrow Benovia's puppet, sensed Benovia's thoughts and shook his head.

“Compared to Benovia, Celia is not bold at all.”

As they ventured deeper underground, the walls and surrounding surfaces of the cave passages crumbled due to the influx of pollution, revealing shimmering magical runes within.

Ross remained expressionless, maneuvering the puppet to descend at a steady pace.

Soon, he arrived at the bottom, in a spacious underground space.

At this moment, the dense demonic pollution materialized and entered the altar and Phil's body.

Phil seemed to have become a black hole of pollution.

Through the polluted smog, one could vaguely see that her face was contorted in pain, as if she were enduring it with great difficulty.

Runes that Ross had previously bestowed upon her appeared all over her body, including her hands, feet, and cheeks.

The purification crystal she wore on her chest shimmered faintly, but not noticeably, as it was obscured by the gray fog formed by pollution.

However, the faint light is very persistent.

Ross examined it carefully and nodded: "It's alright. Maybe we can use this opportunity to strengthen our connection with Phil. Once we get the new godhood, we can be like Benovia."

Ross used his mental power to scan the entire city, gaining a clear understanding of what was happening in Leites City. In particular, after Celia and Benovia separated, he was able to scan most of the area using their positions.

"This Deep Sea Aid Society is quite audacious. It seems to have received guidance from someone and learned the magic array that allows quantitative change to lead to qualitative change. By using massive pollution and the souls of many people, they can temporarily elevate the 'sacrifice' to the fourth level. Although they can't defeat those at the fourth level, they are quite adept at tormenting those below the third level and causing destruction."

"They thought that since a large amount of demonic energy pollution and some soul energy could create a temporary fourth-level mage, could they go a step further and create a fifth-level mage?"

That's right, the Deep Sea Alliance is causing trouble in Leites City in order to create fifth-tier mages.

Even if it's just a pseudo-fifth tier, it can still crush fourth-tier and lower-tier mages with its numerical superiority, making it a disaster for cities.

There are sixth-tier heretics hiding in the city of Leters. They are not from the Deep Sea Aid Society, but from another cult. After their success, they will come out to restrain the only sixth-tier mage in Leters—Duke Pharos.

As for the fifth-tier sorcerers created, their purpose is to cause destruction, to wreak havoc.

A mage who is forcibly elevated to the fifth rank will inevitably become mentally unstable due to the massive pollution and soul energy, unable to distinguish friend from foe, until death.

The arrival of deep-sea monsters will inevitably cause headaches for the city of Leites, prompting them to seek help from the Knights of Law stationed near the Golden Apple Stone Forest, as well as Melina and Black.

If both sixth-tier mages stationed in the Golden Apple Stone Forest arrive, the Deep Sea Aid Society can take the opportunity to escape.

Even if they don't come, or only mages below the fifth rank come, it won't stop the Deep Sea Aid Society's plan.

because--

They had their sights set on Phil from the very beginning.

If Ross hadn't given Celia the instruction to call Phil to the central area to find the magic circle node and 'coincidentally' find this altar located in the city center, they would have tried to capture Phil.

By absorbing vast amounts of soul energy and pollution, and then forcibly elevating himself to the fifth rank by absorbing the power of other pseudo-fourth-tier heretics, Phil will become what Ross once called the "Princess of the Abyss," utterly corrupted.

At that time, neither the Holy Court nor Duke Pharos will be able to deal with Phil, who has lost his mind, and will not know what to do.

After all, she was the daughter of Duke Pharos and a candidate saint of the Holy Court, so both sides would be hesitant to act against Phil.

Even if the Holy Lord himself were to come, he would still have a headache.

"That's interesting. Although Ethel is weak, the forces he has cultivated are still very powerful."

If the Deep Sea Aid Society weren't always up to no good, Ross would have been impressed just by their penchant for building large magic arrays, their ability to think outside the box, and their dedication to studying the mind of giant magical puppets.

Unfortunately, their research was built on the suffering of countless people.

Then there's only one option—

Sweep it into the dustbin of history.

Ross manipulated Benovia's puppet to raise its hand and draw a complex transformation rune in the air.

The effect of the runes is simple: they convert magic into divine power.

Only divine power can withstand the pollution of demonic energy and protect Phil amidst the vast pollution.

Not much divine power is needed; draining Benovia and Celia dry would be enough.

A tremendous amount of magic erupted from the puppet controlled by Ross.

Outside, the guards were notified. Benovia, who was waiting, swayed and quickly stuck her staff into the ground for support.
