Chapter 699 To Make A God
Eleven hours later Archimedes and Circe were watching in a sort of tired shock as the actions of the Guardsman were becoming increasingly outlandish.
At this time he was cleaning the entire cave they were temporarily hanging around before he was to be deployed, the Guardsman had already begun preparing dinner in the adjourning cave, and before long with his powers of a Pyre Lord, this cave now resembled a clean but rustic palace, because as Circe had found out, this Guardsman was a Master Artisan, and he was carving an entire house inside the cave.
"Did you need to tell him to make himself useful?" Circe snapped at the Lightning Kirin.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Archimedes did not reply for a while, still staring in shock at the Guardsman before retorting, "How was I to know the effect of your Rune would be so... comprehensive? I thought he would be by the side twiddling his thumbs, but it seems he really wants to be useful."
Circe sighed, "How could you not believe me? If the fact that I enslaved him in less than eight seconds was not unbelievable to you, I also told you the mastermind who set it up!"
The Lightning Kirin looked away sheepishly, "How could I believe you when I can't see him like you can, you could have been pulling my legs."
"Really Archie? I would be pulling your legs at a time like this?"
But I believe you now," Archimedes shivered and patted Circe on the arm as she observed the action of the enslaved Guardsman.
"I don't believe even an Earth god would be able to break free of this Mind Suppression Rune, if this can even be regarded as a Suppression Rune any longer, as far as I can tell this Guardsman is perfectly willing to serve you with all his heart, how can something like this be possible? This is not enslavement, this is pure love and adoration, we could as well be his god. Can you do this with a simple Rune?"
Circe smirked and observed the flustered Kirin, "Wanna know how he did it? I can try it out on you."
"haha... very funny Circe, fuck you by the way. You and your magical love beam."
"I don't... understand."
"Don't try to, just trust me that you are safe."
"Do I have a choice?"
Rowan did not reply, he did not need to.
He needed the presence of Circe, but that was before he entered Trion and needed a way to fool the gods, and now although she would be his primary vessel, the Enslaving Rune he made her create served more than one single purpose, and he had already begun dropping seeds of potential along the way.
If for any reason Circe's body was to be destroyed, he would be able to resurrect her using those seeds, after all, he had a firm grasp of her soul, and making a new body for her was easy for him.
There was no way Rowan would leave himself with only one option, yet he did not tell her this. Let her believe that she was the only one who could be his vessel since Rowan was not fond of discarding a tool that would be able to serve his purpose.
Circe did not understand that her life and death were no longer in her hands.
In order to maintain a perfect vessel for his stay in Trion so he could stay under the radar of the gods and be able to create the changes he needed, he would need a stronger vessel. Circe would barely serve.
He had told her the truth previously when he said he was barely here in this body. The body of Circe was too weak to carry him, and so he had to make her an Earth god at the least in a very short time, or else in a few weeks, Circe's body would be destroyed and no matter how many times he resurrected her, it would not last long before she would be destroyed again.
Even her soul would not last under this strain for long. So Circe would have to be an Earth god at the least, and more preferable a goddess with an Immortal Soul.
