Chapter 1807 The Gods of Light Unite II
Streams of memories started flooding the hidden dimension of the Tower of Babel. Adrian could clearly see the start of Pristina's memories as soon as she became the Pope of the Church of Light. She was able to possess the body of a female human that was a brunette but the body changes to host the soul. Any body that Pristina possessed had become a beautiful blonde maiden with amber colored eyes.
Unlike what people have thought, she did not force herself to become the Pope of the Church of Light. She would possess a different body every time the mortal one expires as she does not have a completely compatible body found at the time. She worked as a nun, a warrior, or a priest depending on her need for information.
When she finally knew all the things that she needed to know of the newly formed mortal realm, she finally found her perfect vessel. A saintess of the Church of Light was born which made her want the body of the budding saintess. She managed to completely possess the body of the saintess and felt different compared to the bodies that she has inhabited before.
She perfectly fused with the body of the budding saintess and absorbed the real soul of the owner of the body. She also became able to control the aging of her mortal body due to the perfect assimilation that they had performed. As soon as the perfect vessel was secured, Pristina aimed to become the Pope of the Church of Light.
She had many rivals when becoming the Pope of the Church of Light, but she was the one that reached the top due to her saintess body. She was the most powerful of all the Pope Candidates as she was also able to manifest the silhouette of the Goddess of Light Luminaria. What the normal humans of the Church of Light do not know is that it was all a plan by their goddess and the angels to take control of the church.
All the highest authorities were angels that have possessed their perfect human vessels. They preached that the Goddess of Light Luminaria only grants eternal youth to those that she loves the most. This made all the angels become the real power of the Church of Light and initiated the plans for the Goddess Luminaria to descend.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
When the Church of Light was first established, the church itself was only small and it was only until Pristina became pope that the expansion happened. The world needed a major enemy and the Church of Light made that being appear. Pristina was seen talking to the head of the Followers of the Dark Gods to create chaos.
The God Loki created havoc by making the Followers of the Dark Gods succeed in partially summoning their gods. The activities of the God Loki were fully backed by the Church of Light in the shadows. When the dark god is partially summoned, the Church of Light will be there to quell it which also boosted the faith of humanity towards them.
The Followers of the Dark Gods did not know that they were being used. Even if the dark god is partially summoned, the summoning destroys parts of the world barrier. The destruction of the World Barrier also made the Daemos move to close the unexpected rifts that open. This made sure that the Daemos are busy and that they cannot pay attention to what the Church of Light have been plotting.
Everything fell into place as Pristina had wished but there were two beings that greatly interfered with her. One is Equinox that became the Champion of the Twin Gods and a Daemos. The other was the emergence of Eldritch as the followers of the dark gods became much more difficult to control upon his arrival.
When Eldritch arrived, the partial summoning's of dark gods have suddenly become full summoning. Due to the full summoning, a lot of clergies from the Church of Light died which she does not want as that would be a waste on their resources. Pristina could no longer destroy the summoning of dark gods with just the Church of Light which is why she also employed the help of the other churches. She also employed the adventurers that suddenly started to pop up as they were able to revive due to the blessings of the gods of life and death.
Eldritch' presence made the stakes higher, but it also immensely helped in weakening the world barrier. Still, it was not time for the goddess to descend with just that. The revival of the chosen Nephilim was the signal that they were waiting for as a prophecy of the revival was already given back then. It was a prophecy against the angels and the gods of light, but the Goddess Luminaria did not believe that she will ever lose.
As soon as the chosen Nephilim appeared, the last phase commenced and the start of that would be the gods of light destroying the world barrier themselves with the aid of the Aesir gods. The destruction was earlier than anticipated as the Vanir gods suddenly betrayed the Aesir gods, but it was welcomed. The Silver City has also prepared the goddess descent magic circle which would sacrifice all the treasures in the Tower of Babel.
Adrian saw everything that he needed to see in the hidden dimension and made sure to make a copy of all the events in a memory crystal. Only a fool would not create a copy as no one would believe the words of a demon easily without solid proof which he had learned the hard way. Pristina could be seen laughing hysterically as she believed that Adrian is too late.
"You are too late to stop it. Centuries of planning has started to become fruitful. The Goddess Luminaria shall descend and rule over all living beings!" Pristina stated pitifully as she has no more energy left in her voice.
