Chapter 415: Chapter 248 What is Your Pet?_1
“Are you some kind of bloodhound? You’re very sensitive to this stuff, huh?” Negris said with a mix of helplessness and envy.
Not everyone can awaken a practical divine technique. For example, Ange’s divine technique, Instant Death Halo, sounds powerful, but it has no lethal force at all.
It takes about three hours just to accelerate half a year’s time. If the enemy still has thirty years of life, you have to accelerate for one hundred and eighty hours just to make them die of old age. Against long-lived species, it’s an even more miserable situation.
Of course, if used correctly, it is a divine technique, perfectly suitable for a farming skeleton like Ange.
And then there’s the Harvest Goddess’ divine technique; can she increase the pregnancy rate with just a glance?
Some divine techniques are less practical than the Reaper’s Scythe and King’s Arrival that the skeleton itself possesses.
Shamara’s divine technique is among the most practical ones Negris has come across, to an unreasonable extent. Who knew that Ange had the Broken Seal? Who knew who was sealed inside the Broken Seal?
Even Shamara herself didn’t know why she came, but come she did nevertheless.
Situation being as it is, they can’t just shoo her away. They could only let her hang around, watching them studying the Broken Seal.
“How should we proceed now? Should we cut it apart? If we don’t cut it apart, I’m afraid we won’t be able to control the intact Luna,” Negris said.
“Let’s cut. Better safe than sorry,” Anthony suggested.
Negris pulled a catch on the box, and the box split into two halves.
Splitting into two wasn’t the end of it. The two halves of the box astonishingly began to slowly regenerate, becoming two complete boxes in plain view of everyone.
From the outside, there was no difference between the two boxes, but only one of them had a catch that allowed it to be split in two.
“This box with the catch should be the primary one, and this is the secondary one. A box that can grow back after being cut in half? Durken’s creations are simply astounding!” Negris couldn’t help but marvel.
Anthony was not impressed: “Is that so great? Most of the things he constructs can self-repair, so it’s not surprising that it can grow back. Also, is it more fantastic than the Lord regrowing a whole dragon body using just a scale?”
“Libra died. Do you remember anything else? Do you know who I am?” Negris asked.
Luna hesitated and responded, “The God of Knowledge? Why did you lose weight and turned into a Corpse Dragon?”
“....” Good, it can be confirmed. This Luna just ended her petrification period – she is not a spirit whose memory has been wiped clean. Even though her memory did not remain intact, the circuits in her brain are the same; she is not like the usual inflexible angels.
Speaking to Luna wasn’t hard when she wasn’t being rigid. She’s called a Wisdom Angel for a reason – she understood what Negris was getting at after he was only half done speaking.
“I don’t know what happened. When the Gods disappeared, I was still petrified. My current memory is patchy, and I don’t have a clear understanding of what happened. If you’re hoping to obtain more information from me, you’ll probably be disappointed. I might not even know as much as you do,” Luna confessed sincerely.
Having anticipated this response for some time, Negris wanted only to gain more details. After all, some potentially useful information could be hidden in the minutiae.
After an intensive and in-depth conversation, Negris finally understood why Luna had said the gods had betrayed the light.
“They sacrificed all the people in Heaven for the Light of Creation,” Luna said bitterly.
With that brief statement, Luna confirmed Negris’s long-standing speculation. The Holy Kingdom had a long-standing practice of guiding believers, yet there were no traces of living people in Heaven. Where had all these living people gone?
What is the Light of Creation? What does it mean to elevate? What indeed is Light? Does it refer to the Gods of Light themselves, or is it the ideal world that the believers long for?
Luna clearly considered it to be the latter, which is why she thought that the gods had betrayed the light and the believers.
Negris didn’t even want to ask about ‘elevation’, it was definitely not a good thing.
Only after milking Luna dry of all information she was privy to did Negris remember something peculiar and asked curiously, “You mentioned several times before that the gods killed your pet. What kind of pet are we talking about here?”
Luna hesitated for a moment before responding, “A Holy Light Spirit.”
As if afraid they wouldn’t understand, Luna quickly added, “It may sound strange, for it to be both holy light and a spirit, but it truly is a spirit formed from holy light. The Power of Holy Light and the Undead spirit are perfectly fused in it. It’s very rare...”
They were completely oblivious to the strange expressions on everyone’s faces.
PS: I don’t know why, but I’m so sleepy I can hardly keep my eyes open. Maybe I ate something wrong again? I better take a nap first.
