Chapter 239 Amon "Withdraws Investment"
The Forsaken Land, the Great Temple of Sen'er City.
The priest Zede held a grand ceremony, and in the presence of the councilors and other important figures of the city-state, Raphael descended onto the altar.
The people in the entire hall were immersed in astonishment and excitement. This was the first person from the outside world they had encountered since the "Great Cataclysm"!
A full three seconds passed before the priest suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud: "Welcome, Divine Messenger!"
With a "whoosh," everyone around the altar knelt down, even the three demigods!
Raphael smiled as he looked at everyone. His arrival was indeed quite intimidating!
He also considered that the "Dark Abode" granted him the ability to descend at will, which seemed to be the corresponding ability of the "Abyss" pathway.
During Sequence 4 "Devil", if the ritual is correct and the offering is evil or corrupt enough, a portion of the power can be remotely invoked.
Other methods require waiting until Sequence 3 to acquire similar abilities, and the range of the descending power generally does not exceed 300.
kilometer.
Because of the special nature of the "Abyss" pathway, Raphael, who controlled a portion of the "Dark Lodge," possessed this very cool ability. Moreover, thanks to the help of "The Beginning," the "Dark Lodge" broke through the blockade and truly became able to descend anywhere on Earth.
Raphael estimated that the "Fool" who was in a similar situation to himself most likely did not possess such an ability.
With that thought, he snapped out of his reverie and said in the giant language, "Everyone, rise."
Everyone stood up and quietly looked at the divine messenger. Seeing that there was no change in his face, their last bit of doubt disappeared.
Priest Zede said respectfully, "We have prepared a place of rest for the messenger of the gods—"
Raphael raised his hand and said, "I've come here to inquire about some matters. Prepare a small room for me, and please invite the High Priest and the Speaker in one after the other."
The high priest and the speaker replied together, "Yes."
Zede bowed and said to Raphael, "Messenger of the gods, please follow me."
Once the divine messenger arrived at the side hall, everyone began to discuss excitedly.
A divine messenger! This is a divine messenger! A divine messenger recorded in historical records!
For over two thousand years, a divine messenger has actually come to Sen'er City! They were extremely excited, and some even wept with joy.
The high priest also looked extremely excited and followed the messenger to the side hall.
Inside the side hall, there are some statues of deities whose shadows are intertwined under the lamplight, making them appear both majestic and solemn.
Upon reaching roughly the center of the side hall, Raphael asked the high priest, "How many clones do you plan to deploy for this battle?"
The high priest forced a smile through his sores-covered face and said, "I don't plan to participate in the war. As I said before, I've been having a lot of bad luck lately."
Raphael was actually talking to Amon's clone.
He came here to discuss with Amon's clone how to fight this battle, or rather, how much effort Amon's clone planned to put in.
Such details involve bargaining and are not suitable for the "Lord of Evil Desires" to discuss.
At this moment, "Big Number" was watching from inside "Dark Hut". Raphael could return to "Dark Hut" at any time, so he was not worried about safety.
Hearing what Amon's clone said, Raphael smiled and said, "Then you can sneak into the enemy's camp and make them suffer."
Priest Zede was standing nearby, though he couldn't quite understand the conversation between the divine messenger and the high priest. Raphael showed no intention of letting Zede leave; he would later explicitly tell Zede that many people in Sen'er City had been "parasitized."
"You may not have understood what I mean," Amon's clone said, controlling the high priest. "We will leave this city completely shortly."
Raphael was taken aback: "I heard the Lord of Evil Lust say in the oracle that there was an agreement between you—"
"Because you came, I changed my mind," said Amon's clone.
The connection between the Lord of Lust and the Shadow World was already beyond His expectations, but what He didn't expect even more was that the Lord of Lust's messenger was Raphael.
Amon's clone, who had previously come into contact with Raphael, reported in detail to the original body about this "living corpse"—now a special "vengeful spirit."
This made Amon's true form realize that he could not "parasitize" Raphael, or it would cause great trouble.
As for where the trouble comes from? Even the person in question doesn't know.
That's what's truly terrifying.
So the moment Raphael appeared, Amon's clone was already preparing to leave.
Because to them, things here seem complicated and dangerous, and may involve some higher beings, so they won't take the risk.
Even if it were a clone, I wouldn't take the risk, because there are too many unknowns involved.
Raphael hadn't expected this outcome: "You're no longer interested in this city?"
Amon's clone, manipulating the high priest, smiled and said, "I can ask you about anything special about this place later."
Raphael said, "But then you'll have to pay the price."
"No problem, I still have some savings," the high priest said.
Raphael looked at the high priest's festering face, while the large figure in the "Dark Hut" looked at the Amon clone on the high priest's back.
At this moment, he felt somewhat helpless. Cooperating with this kind of guy was giving him a headache. He had no idea what He was thinking, nor could he guess what He would do next.
It's like two partners jointly investing in a company, and just when one of them is making great strides, the other suddenly withdraws their investment!
Raphael was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Since you're leaving, leave completely, don't leave any trace behind."
"I will," the high priest readily agreed. "Then, see you later."
Raphael said, "Goodbye."
The high priest immediately collapsed to the ground, and his extraordinary properties began to be released.
Zedd, standing nearby, was startled: "Dead—dead!"
The high priest was one of the three demigods in the city. Before the battle even began, one of the most powerful figures had been lost.
Raphael rubbed his forehead and said, "They've been dead for a long time. In a little while, you'll tell everyone that they've been controlled by someone else for a long time."
""
This is a bit troublesome. Raphael originally planned to have the opponent send two clones to participate in the battle, but now not only are those two clones missing, Sen'er City's extraordinary power has also been weakened.
He took a deep breath before saying to Zedd, "Call the Speaker."
Raphael had initially intended to feign indifference and prevent the "Lord of Lust" from intervening, but now it seems he still has to rely on the "Lord of Lust."
He personally took part in the event.
When Speaker Harden Hawke entered, the first thing he saw was the High Priest's corpse, and his eyes immediately showed some fear.
Zede quickly went over to explain that the high priest and some others were being controlled by a strange force. The "Lord of Evil Desires" had already known this, so he sent a divine messenger to drive away the strange force.
Actually, he didn't quite understand what was going on, but since the messenger asked him to explain, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain.
Raphael didn't care whether Speaker Harden believed Zedd's explanation or not; he went straight to the point and asked, "At the beginning of the Cataclysm, which god did this city worship?"
