Chapter 2522 - 1107: Each Gets What They Need
Gaven did not attempt to change Kellanwo, because he knew people like him had incredibly steadfast wills. Even close associates would find it hard to influence him, let alone an outsider he had just met.Moreover, Kellanwo’s emotions towards Prince of Lies Shylock were visibly complex; hatred and disgust intertwined with a shred of unbreakable friendship, even harboring a faint hope for his eventual repentance and assumption of his Lord of the Dead duties.
Such personal emotions are even more inaccessible to outsiders, unless one day he comes to terms on his own.
For this, Gaven was not worried, as he knew the kind of madness Shylock would bring in the future, and the magnitude of destruction and death it would cause on the Felen Continent.
With Kellanwo’s compassionate nature, he would never stand idly by; he would inevitably embrace the attitude of ’If I don’t go to Hell, who will?’ and this would propel him to the divine throne of the Lord of the Dead.
In this matter, Gaven only needed to go along with the tide, without much interference.
Staying as a guest in the Undead Slaughter Territory wasn’t only Kellanwo; the Divine Nature Incarnation of the Record Keeper also seemed intent on remaining by Gaven’s side to monitor his every move.
This indeed brought Gaven neither great nor minor inconvenience, at least limiting him from personally witnessing the Legendary Arcanist Philancy’s analysis of the Flame Queen.
Nonetheless, he wasn’t the protagonist of this event; his participation didn’t have much impact on the outcome.
Devin provided Gaven with real-time updates through the Faith Link, offering both good news and bad news.
The good news was that Philancy didn’t tarnish the reputation of the Legendary Arcanists; her methods weren’t static, but adjusted based on the subject of analysis.
She guided the Flame Queen, teaching her how to become a qualified True God, using her Divine Nature Force in a way similar to Spell research.
The effects were unexpectedly good.
Not only was the Revenge Mark ability deciphered, becoming the Flame Queen’s exclusive Divine Arts, other unique abilities were also successively accomplished, including the Corpse Burning Flame Spirit’s exclusive ability—Soul Infusion.
The significance of this is quite large.
On a smaller scale, the Flame Queen’s own abilities were enhanced; with exclusive Divine Arts, she could establish an exclusive Divine Arts system and corresponding exclusive Sacrificer profession, recruiting her own fanatics.
Many believers choose to follow a deity, not just because they resonate with its beliefs, but more so to acquire powerful strength.
The Revenge Cleric that the Flame Queen mastered is particularly so; people follow her mostly to gain the power of revenge.
On a larger scale, Gaven and his associates now have a new channel to learn new spells.
He currently holds more than one Demigod, most of whom have unique abilities, and Gaven himself counts as one too.
Extracting these unique abilities, converting them into spell forms, will immediately expand their application scope exponentially.
The bad news was that the Flame Queen recklessly left the fusion of the two, broadcasting in the form of soul projection, giving them a stunning baptism.
Upon hearing this news, Gaven felt as if he’d been caught cheating, with his mind spinning, unsure of how to face Philancy after returning to the Material Plane.
Their relationship was also ambiguous, both teacher and friend, both lover, having already engaged in intimacy, but due to the Legendary Arcanist’s unique state, each encounter felt dreamlike, as if separated by a thin veil, as if everything happened only in dreams.
The Flame Queen, returning from the Material Plane, was unaware that she had left Gaven with a not minor challenge, while she endlessly shared her harvest from this time, inquiring, "Everything is ready, can we start the next step of the plan?"
"Wait for the Record Keeper to document your status first," Gaven gestured toward the Record Keeper who appeared like a ghost beside her.
This Ancient God of Death wasn’t ordinarily diligent; he swore not to rest until he recorded all the Undead Existences within the Undead Slaughter Territory.
The gaze of the Record Keeper lingered on the Flame Queen notably longer than on the other two Undead Demigods, finally chillingly remarking, "Replacing the old Undead Goddess of Revenge with a new one, aren’t you afraid the other party might use it as a shell to resurrect?
This is another form of disruption to the Death Order; if all life transformed into Undead Spirits due to hatred, it would be a disaster.
At the moment of death, everything from one’s life should conclude, whether love or hatred."
The Ancient God of Death had always been dedicated to extinguishing the Undead Goddess of Revenge. At last seeing hope, naturally, he didn’t desire the rise of a new Undead Goddess of Revenge.
"Hatred should not end, not even by death, revenge is a sacred right, only after avenging can true peace be attained." The Flame Queen fearlessly retorted.
Since becoming a Revenge Demigod, the Undead State has been merely a capability, not irreplaceable. The pressure felt from the Ancient God of Death was naturally not as strong as that from the other two Undead Demigods.
Gaven waved off the Flame Queen’s argument and replied, "I do not have plans to create a new Undead Goddess of Revenge; Lady Putana only possesses the Revenge Cleric, and will not delve into the Undead Divine Office in the future. If possible, fairness and justice are her most ideal directions for expansion.
