Chapter 681 Servant of God
Although the temptation of a world is hard for any wizard to refuse.
But Enzo didn't want to be the one picking peaches. Several third-level wizards of Phantom Crows had already put in too much effort for the expedition to the forest world. If they missed this opportunity, their promotion to the fourth level would be far away.
"Make a decision as soon as possible."
Gustav shook his head and said, "No matter what, the Thousand-Handed Demon is our biggest threat. No matter who is the final fusion in the heart of the forest world, we must first defeat the demon army."
"I understand." Enzo nodded.
Afterwards, he disappeared and returned to the laboratory to continue his research, trying to use the power of potions to solve the mushroom spore virus on the evil ghosts, but he was still unable to achieve his goal.
But at this moment, Enzo suddenly felt something in his heart.
He felt a call, as if coming from the distant wizarding world, praying to him like a believer.
"Heraya?"
Enzo raised his brows, closed his eyes slightly, and used the power of the soul mark to pass through the barriers of the multiverse and come to the wizarding world. He found that in the abandoned land, the weeping goddess Heraya was calling him.
"What happened?" Enzo frowned slightly.
At this moment, the expedition to the forest world is at an important juncture. Leaving hastily may make the wizard side passive, but Helaya will not look for herself for no reason. There must be something that needs to be reported.
In place, Enzo pondered for a moment.
Later, he decided to go and have a look, but instead of sending his true body, he used the phantom crow to form a clone and passed through the portal of the forest world.
…
Meanwhile, the wizarding world.
Abandoned place.
With the sinking of the Essos continent, Gion, the god of green trees, also completely fell. The abandoned land experienced the biggest shock in thousands of years, and rumors of the end of the world began to spread more intensely.
The believers of the Church of the Night are spreading their faith crazily.
However, with the death of Gion, the God of Green Trees, Enzo no longer paid attention to the so-called Church of the Night, and allowed those believers to pray, but still received no response, including the weeping goddess Heraya.
Above the sky, a phantom crow took the form of a human.
Enzo looked at the sunken continent of Essos on the sea, with an inexplicable luster flashing in his eyes. The battle between the fourth-level life forms caused this continent to sink to the bottom of the sea. Fortunately, no one died.
That's because before the battle began, all life on the continent of Essos had their souls devoured by Gion, the god of green trees.
"Owner."
Suddenly, a burst of red mist surged next to him, and the weeping goddess Heraya came out, bowed to Enzo and saluted.
"Why are you calling me?" Enzo asked quietly.
"Report to the master, the task you assigned has been completed." The corners of Heraya's lips raised slightly, a trace of pride flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Lucileth has agreed to surrender, but she also put forward some conditions."
"Oh? Lucilece is willing to surrender?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
This was news that surprised him. Although he had subdued the night goddess Lucilece before, he was not sure that she would surrender, so Heraya volunteered to be a lobbyist.
Enzo didn't have high hopes for this.
The reason is simple. Unlike Heraya, Luciles, as an ancient god, has her own pride. Even in the face of death, she is not willing to become a slave of the wizard.
I don’t know what method Helaya used to change Luciles’s mind.
"Master, please come with me."
Helaya made a gesture of invitation, and then took Enzo through space and came to the isolated island in the world of war ghosts.
In the grotto, Lucilece sat cross-legged.
Her state was extremely weak, and even her origin was extremely unstable. Her pale face seemed to be on the verge of death. Feeling the approach of Enzo and Helaya, she couldn't help but feel a trace of hatred in her eyes.
"Have you changed your mind?" Enzo asked.
Luciles took a deep breath, nodded slowly, and said solemnly, "I can swear to surrender to you, but you must agree to one condition."
"Strictly speaking, you have no right to bargain."
Enzo shook his head and said faintly, "But, for the sake of our previous cooperation, tell us your conditions."
A hint of complexity flashed in Luciles' eyes.
When she first woke up from the Kingdom of God, the wizard in front of her was just as weak as an ant to her, but now he has posed a threat to herself.
Perhaps he should have been killed when he was in the Kingdom of God.
Lucileth felt a little regretful in her heart, but nothing could be changed. Even the powerful ancient gods could only accept their fate.
"I want you to help me save someone."
Lucilece spoke slowly and said in a deep voice: "Helena, the goddess of spring water!"
"Helena?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows. He knew the goddess of spring water, but she didn't seem to be called by that name. He didn't know if he was talking about the same god as Luciles.
"Helena is her real name."
At this time, Helaya next to her said, "The goddess of spring water had many names in ancient times, but few people know that Helena was her original name, and it was also a name well known to the ancient gods."
"That's it." Enzo nodded slightly.
Afterwards, he pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the spring goddess Helena has been loyal to the wizard civilization after the war in ancient times. I'm afraid she doesn't need my help anymore, right?"
"You call that loyalty?"
Luciles raised her voice a little higher, with anger flashing in her eyes, and shouted almost like a roar: "Is this the consequence of being locked up in a dark prison and being randomly selected like an animal? Is this the consequence of being loyal to the wizarding civilization?"
"In that case, I'd rather she were dead!"
Seeing Lucilece's excited expression, a hint of surprise appeared on Enzo's face, while his eyes flickered slightly.
In the ancient books of ancient times, there are many records about the goddess of the night and the goddess of springs. According to legend, the two are the best sisters.
Now it seems that the legend is true.
Helena, the goddess of spring water, is indeed a very important existence to Luciles, so she asked Enzo to save Helena at the cost of surrendering to Enzo.
"I can consider your conditions."
Enzo pondered for a moment and said, "But, that's not possible now. I can only promise you to free Helena from the divine prison within a hundred years."
The wizarding civilization established a divine prison system.
All the gods imprisoned in the prison are the wealth of the wizard civilization, but it does not need to be too complicated to save the spring goddess. As long as Enzo can pay enough star stones, she can redeem her freedom.
However, the number of star stones required to redeem a god is astronomical.
Even if the goddess of spring water is just a weak god, things will not be that simple, at least Enzo does not have this ability now.
"A hundred years?"
Lucileth's eyes flickered, she nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but you have to make an oath as the ancestor of the wizard."
"You have no right to ask me to do anything."
Enzo shook his head and said coldly: "You who are locked up here, no matter whether you sincerely surrender to me or not, can't change the final outcome. If it weren't for the sake of Heraya's plea, do you think you are still qualified?" Do you want to negotiate terms?"
Beside him, Helaya winked wildly.
An expression of shame appeared on Luciles's face, her eyes were almost burning with anger, and she gritted her teeth.
"Hmph! What a pity, you didn't make the right choice."
Enzo snorted coldly and turned around to leave. Since Lucilece hadn't recognized the reality yet, there was no reason for him to continue to indulge her.
Helaya's expression changed.
And just when Enzo was about to leave, Luciles finally couldn't help but speak and shouted with difficulty.
"wait wait wait!"
Luciles took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, bent her knees slightly, and knelt down to Enzo: "Please forgive me for being unreasonable before. As long as you can give me a promise to rescue Helena, I am willing to surrender." "
Enzo stopped and then slowly turned around.
Looking at Luciles who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of Enzo's lips raised slightly, and then he nodded and said, "Okay! I promise to rescue the spring goddess Helena from the divine prison within a hundred years."
"Thanks."
Lucy Rice's face was pale, and there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes. Enzo's promise had no binding force on him, but at this time, Lucy Rice had no right to bargain.
"So... let your spirit go now."
Enzo spoke slowly. Since Luciles chose to surrender, she would naturally leave a mark on her soul.
Lucilece nodded, and then let go of her spirit.
Enzo slowly raised his hand, leaving a trace of power in Lucy Rice's body, forming a soul brand. Under the constraints of this brand, he could sanction Lucy Rice at any time.
Unless Enzo dies unexpectedly one day, this mark will remain on Lucilece forever.
Next to him, Helaya’s eyes were a little complicated.
"Don't be sad, don't be sad."
Helaya secretly said in her heart: "The shackles of the soul brand only exist temporarily and will be broken one day."
It's different from the first time Lucy Rice was branded with a soul.
In the long life of Helaya, there have been more than three experiences of surrendering to the strong, each time leaving something similar to the mark of the soul, but in the end, driven by fate, those strong men who were surrendered by Helaya finally All died for various reasons.
Therefore, for Helaya, even if the soul is imprinted, it does not mean a complete loss of freedom. In the immortal life of the gods, anything can happen.
After the soul mark was laid, Enzo waved his hand to release Luciles from her imprisonment.
Then, he looked at Helaya again.
"Master, please come with me."
Helaya quickly understood what Enzo meant. Since the goddess of the night Lucileth had chosen to surrender, the next target was naturally Qiluo, the giant spider god in another grotto.
Compared to Luciles, Qiluo is weak.
But the other party is also a god after all, and being able to enslave him is also a great benefit to Enzo.
Later, Enzo comes to the cage where the giant spider god is imprisoned.
At this time, Qiluo, the giant spider god, has already shown his true form. The huge dream weaver is chained by shadows and controlled in the grotto, unable to escape. He can only recover his strength by sleeping.
Although this recovery is minimal.
"Wake up, Qiluo."
On the spot, Lucilece's face was pale, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. She had surrendered to Enzo, so Qiluo's fate would be the same.
Feeling Luciles' call, the Giant Spider God immediately opened his eyes.
"Have you finally broken free?"
Seeing the figure of Luciles, a flash of excitement suddenly flashed in the eyes of the giant spider god, but then he became vigilant and murmured, "Not necessarily, maybe it's the wizard's method again!"
Lucilece shook her head, a trace of bitterness appeared on her face.
"Give up, Qiluo." Luciles sighed helplessly and said, "I have surrendered to the wizard."
A trace of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Giant Spider God.
But she did not make an immediate decision, but thoughts flickered in her heart. The long-term detention made it impossible for her to tell whether the Lucy Rice in front of her was an illusion or the wizard's method.
"Leave it to you." Enzo said quietly.
Compared to getting Luciles to surrender, the giant spider god is obviously easier to subdue. The other party is unconditionally loyal to the goddess of the night, so Enzo doesn't need to say anything, just leave everything to Luciles.
Luciles took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.
She stroked the scarred body of the Giant Spider God and murmured to her in a low voice. After feeling the presence of Luciles, the Giant Spider God finally gave up struggling and understood that everything happening around him was not an illusion.
Afterwards, things went extremely smoothly.
After learning that the goddess of the night had surrendered, the giant spider god was a little emotional, but finally accepted this world and chose to let go of his spirit and let Enzo leave a mark on his soul.
Since then, the three goddesses of the Church of the Night have surrendered to Enzo.
"Come on, it's time to leave."
Enzo slowly said, since Luciles and Qiluo have already declared their surrender to him, there is no need to lock them in the war ghost world.
The next moment, the dimensional door opens.
Enzo took the three goddesses directly to the abandoned place in the wizarding world and appeared in a wilderness.
In the distance is the city of the Red Fort Kingdom.
At this time, the city had already fallen into chaos. News of the sinking of the Essos continent spread, and rumors of the end of the world became more and more intense. Almost everyone joined the Church of the Night to pray for the protection of the goddess of the night.
However, no matter how hard they prayed, they could not get an answer.
Even the top leaders of the Church of Night are feeling that their power is constantly passing away, as if the three goddesses have abandoned them, and therefore are falling into a state of extreme panic.
"What is the master going to do?" Helaya asked tentatively.
Enzo took a deep breath, and then slowly flew up into the sky until he could overlook the entire abandoned land. Except for the sunken continent of Essos, there were only eight islands of different sizes left in the abandoned land.
