Chapter 39: Holy Decree! Why is he here?

In the temple, the power of the Crescent Goddess was swiftly withdrawn. It was likely done to prevent the power from lasting too long and potentially harming Su Mos body. Even the Holy Son and Holy Maiden couldnt bear the divine power for extended periods.

After the power of the Goddess was withdrawn, her gaze remained fixed on Su Mos body for a while before finally withdrawing. The Crescent Moon Queen then received a new oracle, prompting her to say, Lets go. Her emotions became more complex upon receiving the new oracle because, according to its contents, the Goddess of the Crescent was genuinely attracted to Su Mo.

This attraction didnt refer to a romantic interest; rather, the Goddess of the Crescent was likely considering making Su Mo her holy son. Despite never having a son before, the idea of Su Mo being favoured by the Goddess left the Crescent Queen with mixed emotions. On the one hand, she was happy for the Crescent Goddess, as having a more powerful Holy Son or Holy Maiden would be of great significance to the Gods.

If a god wanted to descend to the mortal world, specific rituals needed to be prepared, and they carried certain risks. The loss of strength could also be substantial. However, through the descending power of the Holy Son or the Holy Maiden, a god could descend with the greatest power with the least loss.

The upper limit of the power that the Holy Son or the Holy Maiden could carry was crucial. Due to the unique laws of Gods Continent, the upper limit of the power that Su Mo could carry had almost reached the ceiling of the continent itself. This fact meant a lot to the Goddess of the Crescent.

Su Mo was the only one in her heart. Apart from him, there was no room for anyone else. She couldnt see any other men at all. Her love for Su Mo was so strong that it couldnt even be blocked by the divine light of the Goddess of the Crescent, which usually insulated saints from emotions like affection and love. But Su Mo was an exception.

With Bishop Fellen as his guide, Su Mo explored the Holy See. The headquarters of the Holy See was vast, with many personnel. There were hundreds of thousands of priests alone, as well as magicians, weavers, knights, and more. A specialised alchemy department was also responsible for creating magical supplies such as enchanted airships and similar inventions.

The situation at the Holy See offered a glimpse into the history of a deity. Regarding background, Su Mos was not as impressive as the Crescent Goddesss since he had become a god in a relatively short time. Furthermore, the powers possessed by demon gods and heavenly gods were vastly different.

This library contains numerous books we have collected, including some on ancient magic and sorcery. Although many of these practices are no longer practical, they still hold significant reference value, Bishop Fellen explained as he led Su Mo around the library.

The books in the library were indeed ancient, and each was protected by magic to ensure they did not deteriorate over time. Su Mo picked up a random book and began flipping through its pages.

The magic recorded within was undoubtedly archaic, with many of the spells challenging to execute. The methods of execution were quite different from those used in modern times. Time, like everything else, brought changes to the magical world, and just because something was old did not necessarily mean it was good.

Magic, like any other field, undergoes a process of development and optimisation. New magic spells need to be refined in terms of efficiency and consumption. Although, if executed successfully, some ancient magic spells could yield considerable power.

As Su Mo continued to flip through the pages, he caught sight of someone reading an ancient magic book while leaning on a broom. The person was startled upon seeing Su Mo since he recognised him as the Earl of the Blackstone Territory. The protagonist, who was also responsible for sweeping and cleaning the library, couldnt believe Su Mo had entered the inner sanctum of the Holy See. His heart raced with tension.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
