The Dark Magician Transmigrates After 66666 Years Chapter 323: Destiny (3)
Jamie moved closer to Ricky and placed a hand on his chest.
His heartbeat was normal.
There seemed to be no problem with the heart, but the infiltrated mana spread through the body and confirmed the condition.
“Everything is normal.”
The muscles, bones, nerves, and organs were all normal. The brain seemed fine too, but there was one problem.
Holy power.
“Should it be a symptom of exhaustion?”
Ricky was the only one who blocked the explosion, and the explosion was caused by Kreon. In the process of it, he must have exhausted his holy power and lost consciousness.
Maybe that is why not even a handful of holy power could be felt from Ricky.
“As an apostle, there should be a way to recover.”
Seeing that not a single drop recovered in a full month, it seemed that he had to look into this.
The fortunate thing is that it wasn’t life-threatening. If there was a problem, then he would open Inverse heaven.
Ricky’s essence was that of an undead which Jamie created before Ricky became an apostle. So if the gate was opened, the recovery rate would be faster than now.
‘Before that, Pyro wouldn’t have been still if it was life-threatening.’
She would have made sure to intervene and do something. Without the apostle, it would be impossible for her to actively intervene in the land.
She could descend at any time if there is an apostle and the conditions are met.
It would take a lot of power, but the world was already in chaos. Several regions broke the rules of the 12 Gods as they began to invade.
As for her, her power to invade must have piled up.
“Come.”
Jamie focused his left hand with holy power.
Clench.
As golden light sparked on it, the room began to fill up with holy power.
This wasn’t a space designed for such things, but he was in the church with an apostle, while he himself was a saint, so these were the best circumstances.
As Jamie’s eyes turned purple, the symbol of Pyro spread out on the ground like a magic circle on the ceiling and floor.
Kwakakakang!
There was a huge shock that rocked the entire church.
A commotion could be heard outside, but the pope and his people shouted to silence it.
-Be quiet, all! The goddess is coming down!
Indeed, as expected of the pope.
Thanks to him, who noticed Pyro’s coming, it seemed like no trouble would happen.
‘Still, aren’t they curious when the God they believe so much in is descending?’
Aside from the people, someone should want to peep through the door and look at her.
Anyway, Jamie thought a lot as he felt the strong presence being created in the room.
‘Certainly, Pyro is stronger than I thought.’
Among the 12 Gods, she was a god with some of the highest combat power.
It was ridiculous to be isolated among the 12 Gods despite having this power.
She couldn’t have had this much strength. Anyway, in the past, it felt like his body would break every time she manifested, but now, he didn’t feel anything.
It was because he had restored most of the power of his previous life.
Flash-
A golden light flashed in an instant.
Jamie frowned.
‘So flashy.’
Since she was coming down from heaven, this energy was bound to be used. And with the light slowly fading, there came a woman who looked at Ricky with sad eyes.
“Poor child. You did so much.”
She gently stroked Ricky’s cheek and turned to Jamie.
“It has been a long time.”
“Long time no see.”
“Your words have turned shorter. I always knew you were a cheeky one.”
“Well, I am not in the position to kneel as I did back then.”
It wasn’t like they had good feelings for each other. There was no conflict with her, but she was still one of the 12 Gods.
And that meant Jamie had to deal with her.
However, he had a connection to Ricky and Ricky to her, so he decided to take advantage of her situation, so he left her alone.
“Do you believe in that frugal power?”
“Frugal..”
Jamie smiled and opened his purple eyes as violet mana began to flow through the skin.
The room temperature soared instantly to a level as great as the holy power of the Goddess.
This made Pyro think.
‘.. what had happened?’
She was shocked at the power Jamie displayed.
She couldn’t believe it despite seeing it. This power which this human is wielding..
‘It seems like 12 Gods are crossed over.’
It didn’t feel like a god’s power since Jamie wasn’t one, but that black mana and the violent nature seemed like it could invade their holy power.
Right.
It was a long time ago, so she didn’t remember till now.
Just like the human who existed to kill the 12 Gods
‘He said he was that man’s successor.’
He said that he wasn’t a direct successor but one who inherited his vision and story.
But was it possible to obtain power equal to that of a God?
This is like..
‘Diablo Volfir’
That was all she could think of.
If it were any other human being, she knew that the only one who had this kind of power to oppose God was him.
It was embarrassing.
It seems that the monster which tried to drive them out of the land reappeared.
Pyro felt afraid.
“.. where did you get such power?”
She asked in a low voice, and Jamie could already guess what she was going through.
It was the reaction one shows when someone they thought was a bug was now on their level.
She felt on edge due to her skin crawling in fear.
“Where did I get it? I grew it all by myself.”
“That’s funny. For 6 years yet. I remember you back then. We signed the contract.”
“You should have remembered what you said back then. You said you would believe me? I don’t understand why you don’t seem happy when I have grown this much?”
Pyro frowned at his remarks, but he wasn’t saying anything wrong, so she couldn’t counter it.
As he said, it was she who had extended the hand and asked him to join her, and he really did grow strong.
The problem was that his power was enough to threaten her.
‘If he betrays me, there will be no way out.’
However, if she did something to make him walk away, that would be a problem, so she responded calmly.
“Right. What else is important? If you have become this strong, it is good.”
“It is nice to see you acting cool.”
“So. Why did you come to find me? I don’t think you are here to show off your strength.”
Jamie decided to stop pissing her off and get to the point.
You know why I called, right?
“Are you talking about Zenith?”
“Zenith is one thing, but a few churches suddenly attacked the north. The Seldam Kingdom was targeted by the Church of Nothingness and is in a difficult state. What the hell happened in heaven? It isn’t unrelated either, so I want you to be honest with me.”
Many gods had united to hit the North.
Even the supposed non-allies joined in. And was that all?
Ricky became like this because of their holy power, which was united and exploded. It was clear that something was happening in heaven.
He didn’t think Pyro was so isolated from knowing anything; he thought she would know the gist of it.historical
“Why did the Church of Nothingness come? Why did those bastards touch my people? I need you to tell me. You see, I am a bit angry.”
“Hmm. Simply put, Zenith’s politics worked.”
“Politics worked?”
“As you know, the Gods who attacked the North this time were all taking root across the centerline of the continent. Zenith insisted that they need more believers in order to keep the ‘South’ in check.”
South in check.
In other words, it means to keep Ra in check.
To that end, Zenith was in a position to approach the Gods of the central line and invade the North to absorb that and increase their power.
But Jamie couldn’t understand.
This wasn’t something Ra would ignore.
Even Satan had knelt down without putting up much of a fight, and Zenith planned to contain it by increasing the believers?
Clearly, there were other purposes for doing this.
“And the other Gods? I think the marginalized will be upset?”
“I do not know about their situation. What is certain is that the five of them united, but it is true that they do not trust each other.”
“Why?”
“Well. On the surface, they speak about keeping Ra in check, but in reality, isn’t it because each of them had their own reasons?”
Own reasons?
Jamie frowned.
He didn’t know what they were, and nor did Pyro.
It was fortunate that they weren’t united with the same intention. This means he could separate them and wouldn’t have to deal with all 5 at the same time.
“What are you going to do? Since the apostle is in this state, the Pyro Church must have greatly weakened now.”
“Why are you speaking like this is someone else’s thing? This child belongs to the same church you belong to.”
“You are not going to make them pay, right?”
“Huh! I plan to make them pay. How dare they lay hands on my child.. it is unforgivable.”
“Then good.”
“What do you mean?”
“When I deal with the Church of Nothingness, I want you to stop the others from interfering.”
“.. are you confident?’
“Confident?’
Jamie smirked as he said.
“Let’s try it here.”
Black mana gushed out, making Pyro frown.
“This.”
“Well, you don’t have to worry.”
Jamie spoke with a smile.
“Because I am not going to lose this time.”
No matter who the opponent was.
“What? That grey shield?”
“Uh..? It wasn’t there normally.”
Beiros and Ann landed in front of the gray shield surrounding the capital.
“It is strong.”
When Beiros put his finger on the shield, a spark burst out, resisting his touch. It seemed that this wasn’t something he could break into.
It was the same with Ann, which meant outsiders weren’t allowed.
“Damn it. Do we just have to wait?’
“Um..”
They arrived at full speed, but the guy had already left, leaving his subordinate alone!
Beiros slammed the shield hard with an annoyed face.
Kwang!!
Then, the shield retained the power and pushed Beiros again.
“Kuak!”
His body flew several meters and crashed.
“It even reflects the attack.”
Ann looked at the shield with shocked eyes.
She could understand things at a glance, but she needed help figuring out what kind of structure this shield had.
What was inevitable was that the power of protection was done by the sacrifice of two royal family members.
No matter how great of a Scholar’s talent she held, it wasn’t possible to grasp the power of a transcendent being.
“Shit! Let’s pierce through it!”
Ann stopped him as Beiros was ready to charge at the shield.
“I do not think that it is a good idea.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know about the other things, but this shield reacts to the maliciousness; I don’t know what kind of malice it reacts to, but hostility only increases the strength of the shield.”
“So. Every time I get annoyed, the shield gets stronger?”
“Yes.”
“Very annoying.. then what? Let’s look around.”
“There is nothing else we can do, so let’s try that.”
They couldn’t do anything about the shield, so they decided to look around and find a way.
It was the moment Beiros took Ann on his shoulders and flew.
“You don’t have to go back.”
A priest in black robes who wasn’t there a second ago came. With a necklace that had the shape of an eyeball around, he held out the palm and said.
“The two of you shall return to nothingness.”
And the power of nothingness rushed for the two.
And...
“What are you doing, you human trash!”
Beiros smashed the head of the priest at once.
