Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 192 The sea is full of fish, so the sea god is also a fish.
Southern Border City.

Celia's arrival caused no disturbance.

This city is the largest city in the Ishtar Empire closest to the Star Spirit Tree, and it is also an extremely important border city.

As Celia entered the city, she saw not only humans, but also people from the elven and orc kingdoms.

When she transited through here last time, she didn't take a good look around and rushed back. Now, after calming down, she noticed the differences between this place and Huijin City.

With the Star Spirit Tree as the boundary, the Ishtar Empire is located northeast of the center of the Starfall Continent. It borders the far north to the north, has a coastline to the east, and is close to the Star Spirit Tree to the southeast. Near the Star Spirit Tree, it borders the Elf and Orc kingdoms. The Southern City thus became the center of communication between the Ishtar Empire and the two non-human kingdoms.

"This city is one of the few that has city walls," Celia remarked, looking at Southern City.

She joined the crowd in queuing to enter the city.

Outside the city walls, the city lord set up checkpoints to verify the identities of those entering the city. Non-citizens needed a pass to enter, and these passes had to be paid for.

Although Celia was disguised, she possessed the Holy Magic Academy badge, so there was no need to check her identity; only the badge's authenticity needed to be verified for entry.

Very convenient.

As the top magic school in the entire empire, the Holy Magic Academy is very confident that it will not be counterfeited. Similarly, it will not worry that its badge will be lost and picked up by others for illegal purposes.

Because this badge is bound to the student's magic using a binding method similar to that of a magic puppet, once the badge is lost, the magic within it will be depleted and it will become unusable.

Therefore, Celia entered the city very smoothly without exposing her disguise.

This relieved her slightly.

"If it's exposed, it will be very difficult to hide."

Fortunately.

Silently infiltrating... no, entering Southern City, Celia curiously observed the long-eared elves and beast-eared orc girls, and suddenly posed a thought-provoking question:
"Some orc races are like elves, except for their ears and fur, and at most, they have a tail. So why aren't elves considered orcs?"

“Because the elves have their own gods, while the orcs only have one beast god,” Ross said.

"Oh, I see. No wonder."

Celia suddenly realized.

Currently, Celia has no connection with the Elven race or the Orc Empire. After glancing at them out of curiosity, she stopped paying attention and began strolling through the streets of Southern City.

"First find an inn, then go to the Sorcerer's Market or the Sorcerer's Guild and buy a few hundred blank scrolls..."

After comparing several hotels, Celia chose one that was relatively close to the Southern City Temple. This hotel was more expensive, but both the environment and the service were better, which Celia liked.

Of course, she had another ulterior motive.

"I don't believe we can destroy the temple in Southern Border City this time!"

The girl desperately needed to prove herself.

Ross remained silent.

After she booked the room, he had her summon the puppet, possessed the puppet's body, and then took out the fragment of the Sea God's divine essence from Celia's bag.

"When you go to buy the scroll, please also buy some materials for me; I need them."

Celia watched curiously as Ross manipulated the Puppet Heart, without suspecting anything. After noting down the materials Ross requested to buy, she left the room.

After she left, Ross placed the fragment of the Sea God's divine essence on his fingertip and channeled his spiritual power into it.

The fragment of divinity began to spin at her fingertips, and a faint spiritual force, simulating the spiritual fluctuations of Celia, slowly resonated with the fragment of divinity.

"Given the sea god's caution, if we do anything to this fragment of divinity, the other party is very likely to give up immediately, and then it will be difficult to find him."

"Therefore, we must release enough bait, for example... let him feel a very compatible body, so that he can't help but ask someone to gather information."

……

The Protoss Forbidden Lands, deep within.

Inside an ordinary stone wall lies a hidden paradise.

Countless heretics of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Society are trembling as they hold prayer ceremonies in the prayer hall.

On the high platform in front of them was a person wearing a blue robe with waves, who trembled faster than the believers below.

A palpable sense of fear is spreading.

"My God...My Lord, please calm your anger..." "This matter...was purely an accident..."

"...We...have already sent people to recover the losses..."

"...a divine gift..."

"...We will definitely retrieve the divine artifact for our Lord God!"

"..."

"..."

"What?! The one who steals the divine gift is the perfect deep-sea sacrifice?"

"Understood! Divine Messenger, please petition the gods; we are willing to find offerings for them!"

"...Can't I go...? Why..."

"...Let him go?"

"But ever since he received divine grace, he has been unable to bear the blessings from the gods and has gone mad. Is that really okay?"

"...We deserve to die for questioning the commands of the gods. Please, divine messenger, calm your anger. The whale will forever be loyal to Lord Rost!"

"……Understood."

The headquarters of the Deep Sea Aid Society remains hidden within the Protoss Forbidden Land. Now, with divine decrees being delivered by the 'divine messengers,' they begin to take action.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away on the ocean, on an island, a statue hidden within the island is emanating faint fluctuations of divine power.

"Is this bait, or a coincidence?"

"Zhou Ding, Zhou Ding, we've given you everything, you can't stop us from being reborn, can you?"

“A perfectly matched offering… In any case, let’s go see. Even Zeuding would never have imagined that I would be hiding inside a puppet of a tiny human.”

……

In the Southern City, Ross stopped the resonance of his mental power.

Everything that needed to be conveyed has been conveyed.

If the other party still doesn't make a move, then he'll have to resort to another method.

"But that method is a bit radical. It might cause the other party to sever this fragment and form an independent godhood, so they won't come over."

Ross's backup plan was to directly absorb the divine power within the fragments of the god's divine essence, thereby damaging the sea god's origin.

This method is extremely radical and will damage the integrity of the divine essence, causing the fragments of the divine essence to become unusable or even causing problems with the entire divine essence.

In this situation, a more radical deity would definitely come and steal it.

But as a sea god who would rather relinquish a portion of his divine status than reveal himself...

Ross felt that the other party might decisively sever the connection between the two, preferring to remain incompletely divine rather than expose themselves.

"This is a last resort. Divine fragments are quite precious, so don't use them unless absolutely necessary."

Just then, Celia returned from outside.

She saw Ross playing with the faintly glowing fragments of divine essence and felt a pang of envy.

"Lord Ross, is it true that you want to use this Puppet Heart to upgrade my current Puppet Heart?"

“Yes, the materials I asked you to buy are for assisting with the upgrade.” Ross nodded.

"What do you want me to do?"

"You don't need to do anything, just stay in the mental space and watch."

"Okay!"

Having already gotten used to being possessed by Ross, Celia immediately adopted a submissive posture, looking at Ross expectantly.

Ross: "..."
