Chapter 636 The Mysterious Corpse
Odin was essentially a deceiver, claiming he would gather the Ultimate Force Alliance's strongest forces to help Forseti seize the power of the sacred halo, only to bring him to a place where the power of the sacred halo might exist.
Whether Forseti could actually obtain it was left to his own abilities.
As for the strand of divine flame Forseti won, Odin kept his promise and gave it to him.
"The rest is up to you." Odin now seemed uninterested in the power of the sacred halo because the major powers, including himself, had agreed that high-ranking gods should no longer vie for it.
This agreement also included Hades, who had already benefited greatly from obtaining two top-tier divine artifacts. Naturally, there was no need for him to contest for anything else!
Obtaining the power of the sacred halo, in reality, is more about gaining the recognition of a Cosmic Entity, which also subjects one to various restrictions by the Cosmic Entity.
Odin was well aware that as the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, he maintained his position through sheer power. Although Odin's strength was slightly inferior to Zeus's, the three top-tier divine artifacts he possessed more than compensated for it.
The power of the sacred halo, even if placed before Odin, is something he would absolutely not absorb!
At Odin's level, one would have to be insane to consider absorbing it!
Although Hades was not entirely clear about what the power of the sacred halo amounted to, he knew that he had already received special attention from William the Obliterator. There was no need to compete for anything else.
After Odin gave his instructions, he directly traversed space and left the area.
Forseti glanced at William, blinked, and was unsure if he should speak.
He also didn't dare to call out "William," fearing Odin would hear him.
William straightforwardly said, "Say whatever you want; Odin can't hear us."
He doesn't want anyone to perceive his every move, not even a Cosmic Entity could discern it, let alone Odin, the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance.
It's simply impossible!
Forseti exhaled deeply, only heaven knew the turmoil he had gone through in just that short moment.
Betting with Odin, even aiming for his top-tier divine artifact, Gungnir...
Facing Odin's interrogation, he lies without even blinking.
Despite disliking Odin, there's still a tremendous amount of pressure to endure!
"Lord William, what do we do next?" Forseti now refrained from recklessly deploying his divine consciousness, following William's lead in everything.
The five strands of sacred halo power, after his modifications, couldn't be traced even by a Cosmic Entity. Now, it seemed, someone destined had stumbled upon them.
"Is that halo above the monster's head the sacred halo?" Forseti swallowed hard. What exactly was this creature?
With Ares and the others from the Divine Alliance being so powerful yet unable to breach the monster's defenses, what level of a powerhouse was this creature?
William quietly observed from the sidelines. The monster was actually a corpse, Prometheus!!
The five strands of the sacred halo's power were initially scattered by William at random, to be claimed by whoever found them. Surprisingly, the first one encountered turned out to be a jackpot.
Once, Prometheus stole fire to give to humanity, angering Zeus in the process.
Zeus had him bound to a mountain peak, where an eagle would feast on his liver daily until his death...
After Prometheus died, his corpse was somehow moved here by a Cosmic Entity!
What was the Cosmic Entity intending?
Buried in this ancient abyss, Prometheus's corpse absorbed countless evil souls and was evidently corrupted by demons, becoming another form of powerful existence.
Now having received the power of the sacred halo modified by him, how strong would it become after absorbing this power?
William watched quietly, while Ares and his side became increasingly anxious.
Some people from the Divine Alliance shouted, "Ares, this creature is absorbing the power of the sacred halo, we must kill it quickly!"
"The beings from the Ancient Abyss are truly beyond understanding!"
Ares roared lowly, spreading his hands to unleash a burst of golden light that fell upon Prometheus. The red fur covering Prometheus began to burn.
"It's working, it's effective against this demon..." Ares exclaimed joyously, preparing to continue his assault when the red fur on Prometheus suddenly exploded off, revealing a dry, pitch-black body.
This appearance was that of a desiccated corpse...
Golden flames blazed fiercely within the hollow sockets of Prometheus's eyes, emitting a terrifying aura. Golden light swirled around his mouth and nose, creating an eerie effect.
"This... this is a corpse! He's been revived!"
Ares was somewhat horrified by the scene before him. Who exactly was this?
A mere corpse was able to withstand the attacks of so many powerful beings from the Divine Alliance?
A high-ranking god-level corpse?
An ancient demon?
