Chapter 1218 Saena Evolves Once More

The open platform moved via levitation to send them to a giant sphere that looked like a miniature sun. Adrian thought that the Hidden Temple of the Sun God would be small because it is secluded but it actually is as big as one hectare. He actually felt small from the tall statues made of the Sun God.

He then looked at the area where they are going which is a place with the concentrated energy of the sun. All walls, ceilings and floors of the temple actually bounce off the sunlight to this miniature sun where the energy gathers that also powers everything in the temple.

Cairo said that the defense of this temple is very unforgiving even if the intruders are beings made of light. He said that even angels will burn into a crisp when they enter this temple without the proper means. He actually entered this temple without the proper means at first because his secondary job class is actually an Explorer.

Cairo did not focus on his battle class or main class because he loved exploration and discovering new things. What he did learn is the fact that you cannot become a great explorer or discoverer if you are weak. There are times when he would actually die immediately at an entrance back then which is why he trained himself to become stronger.

He found the Hidden Temple of the Sun God and was blessed by this miniature sun that contains an essence of the Sun God Ra. When they came close to the miniature sun, a projection of what the Sun God Ra appeared before them, but it is actually just a projection. This projection did not possess any power or divine energy.

"Welcome Champion Cairo. It seems that you have brought guests this time around." The projection of the Sun God Ra told him.

"Do not worry as I brought them in my own free will and is not threatened. You can return to your duties as we will only need the Sun Temple for helping another Champion's soulbound evolve." Cairo stated.

"It seems that this Champion that you spoke off carries a part of the Sun God's vestige, but it is not all of them. Come back to me once you get all of them but beware the dangers of carrying a part of a god's soul." The projection warned as it sank back to the miniature sun.

"Do not worry about it that much. It is actually something like an AI of this place that maintains the functions of the temple. It is not threatening or dangerous as long as you respect the temple. If you do disrespect the temple, then you will just find yourself with a hole in your head due to a concentrated beam of sunlight. No worries." Cairo stated as he proceeded to walk while the others watched where they walked on.

The Hidden Temple of the Sun God could be seen as empty as its followers vanished from the persecution of the angels. Back then, any gods affiliated with the sun, stars, or light needed to bow to the will of the Goddess of Light in order to resume their faith. Some gods allied with her while some did not but in the end, those lesser gods that allied became servants in the eyes of the faithful. The ones that did not had their temples reduced to ashes.

It happened a long time ago which is why a lot of the populace no longer knows of this but there were some that kept their faith alive in secret. Although, a lot of the faith vanished over time as something that can only be practiced in secret is often forgotten. The gods that were forgotten can only sleep or ally themselves to the Goddess of Light to keep their power.

A god or goddess that does not receive faith will fade out until their existence is gone unless they do something taboo or seal themselves through sleep. The current active god in Pandemonium is actually less because some gods sealed themselves through sleep as they knew that they will not have followers without being able to descend.

Now that the lesser gods could descend, the gods themselves incarnate as demigods to spread their religion. In fact, a lot of religions are being created now due to the phenomenon that the angles created. This is the side effect of forcefully opening the sealed gates of the Silver City.

Gods now walk among the normal men, but the angels do not care. They know this fact and know that they will just need to make the others submit once more. Now that Asmodians are no longer present in the world, they know that no one will be able to stop them again.

"We are now here in the Sun Temple." Cairo stated as they stopped in a place with a massive sun disk.

The Sun Disk could be see taking some of the energy of the sun with the Sun God Ra statue holding it. All of the people present could feel the presence of a clean and warm energy radiating from the Sun Disk. Vitae could be seen liking this energy as it has some small essence of life energy.

The Sun God Ra is not just a Sun God because he is also treated as a creator god in his previous universe. If he actually lives once more then he would actually have the same power as the Cthonic Gods of Pandemonium which is just below the Primordial Gods which are the twin gods. The Sun God Ra would not have fallen if he did not fall into a trap after being weakened.

"Saena, are you ready?" Adrian asked Saena and she nodded.

Adrian took out the Vestige of the Sun God that gives off the energy of the morning sun. Saena then instinctively knew that she needs to feed onto the energy that this item is giving off. Her ability to absorb poison or eat different ailments would need to be used to gather all the energy of this orb.

Adrian held out the Vestige of the Sun God and it floated in the air without him doing anything. The Vestige of the Sun God went to the middle of the Sun Temple as if it is being guided. The Sun Disk that is held by the giant Sun God Ra statue suddenly shoot a beam of light towards the Vestige of the Sun God.

The winged scarab image embedded on the orb suddenly glowed in a fierce light until the orb radiated like a small sun. Saena knew what she needed to do and that is to swallow all that energy into her body. She instinctively knew what she needs to do without even Adrian telling her to because it is embedded deep into her blood.

Saena flew directly to this small sun that the Vestige of the Sun God created and immediately opened her beak. She then sucked in the energy of the sun with all her might as if she is extremely hungry for it, but she is also being damaged in the process. Adrian knew what is happening, but he cannot interfere now as it would be detrimental if something is to negatively happen.

The only thing that Adrian can do is to pump as much primordial essence into Saena's body as well as aether energy. The health that Saena is losing is being supplied back by the aether energy that Adrian is giving him while the primordial essence is what strengthens her body to continuously intake the energy of the sun.

The only problem with this is the fact that the miniature sun could not be seen diminishing but Saena is becoming exhausted as her small body could only do so much. She is a Caladrius that is attempting to evolve into a divine bird called the Simurgh. Becoming a divine bird is not something that any other monster can do despite them having the blood for it.

The soul link between Adrian and Saena could be seen to fluctuate as her soul started to become weary. Adrian is not safe in this regard because he could feel the heat of the sun pass through his body as well. It is no longer just Saena that is suffering because it is also Adrian that is suffering with her.

Her soul is tied to Adrian and that connection is also what makes Saena stronger because Adrian's soul already contains divinity. One of the shortcuts for monsters to turn into divine beasts easily is for them to have a spark of divinity. Saena already fulfilled that requirement because her soul is tied with Adrian's soul that has divinity.

Without fear, Saena pushed her small body to the limit and even attempted to swallow the energy of the sun that is presented to her with greed. She knew that she will never be helpful in battle if she is not to evolve. She wants to ease the burden of her master that summoned her when she was just a chick.
