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

Chapter 478 Speculations on the Sealing Array (Fifth Update~)

After being sealed for a thousand years, Ross had almost figured out the nature of the sealing array.

Just as he had predicted, the magic array could actually be broken from the outside by a sorcerer who was beyond human comprehension, just like how Tang Sanzang broke the seal on Sun Wukong.

The difference is that the God-King would definitely take various measures to address this point.

Restricting methods for ascending beyond human limits may be one of them, thus eliminating the seventh rank from the human world.

Ross also wondered if the God-King might have placed an additional shield-type magic circle outside the sealing magic circle, one that was weak inside and strong outside.

However, this conjecture was rejected shortly after it was established.

A magic array is a whole; although it can be nested, the inner magic array must be much weaker than the outer one. Otherwise, the inner magic array will definitely cause a serious reaction in the outer one.

The magic array that sealed Ross was enormous, covering the entire Endless Abyss, roughly the size of two Star Spirit continents—the Endless Abyss wasn't truly endless, but rather named for its vastness.

With such a large magic array, it's impossible to add another one that's strong on the outside but weak on the inside. However, it's possible to set up magic arrays at each entrance to the Endless Abyss to prevent people from entering.

Alternatively, an early warning system could be set up so that the God-King would know if someone ventured into the Endless Abyss.

This is the biggest challenge.

This is why Ross wanted to make Celia a god.

Only by becoming a god could he escape Zhou Ding's pursuit and break his seal.

Ross shook his head and thought to himself, "No rush, take it slow. Right now, finding Zeus's arrangements is more important than unsealing him. These arrangements can't possibly be as powerful as him. Find them all, dismantle them all, so that when he comes out, he won't be able to use anything."

Ethel said that Zeuding had also entered a deep sleep, and it would not end its slumber prematurely unless someone ventured into the Abyss.

Putting him to sleep is also part of the strategy to deal with Ross.

Ross followed slowly behind Sharin and Pera, watching them throw high-grade magic crystals inscribed with runes into the lava lake.

At the same time, the magic array spreading throughout the volcano gradually took shape in Ross's mind.

The fire element in the volcano was too active, which contradicted Celia's attributes. He had never scanned the inside of the volcano before.

Now, following Sharin and the other person, he gradually connected the tunnels inside the volcano into a... somewhat familiar magic circle.

It's very familiar, yet there are some unfamiliar places.

But he has already confirmed the function of this magic circle.

"Summoning circle, using fragments of Ethel's divinity as its foundation, to summon me."

Now, Ross has confirmed that the two men are indeed his subordinates' henchmen.

It is not yet clear who it is.

The most likely candidate is the lively redhead girl—Raphael.

“Raphael is having a bit of a headache. If I show myself in front of her, she will definitely ask me where I am sealed, and then run there in the next second.”

Ross tapped his head.

“Zeudin must have left a warning array, she would definitely be discovered if she went there... Luckily I didn’t show myself. As for Jonathan... he doesn’t have a way to contact Raphael. If Raphael goes to him... it’s not impossible. I didn’t tell Jonathan about my sealed place, so it’s good for Raphael to know that I’m doing well.”

I'd rather not face it myself.

Ross feared that Raphael might do something drastic.

boom!
The last high-grade magic crystal was thrown into the lava lake, making a soft sound.

Pera slowly said, "All the preparations are complete. Now, we just need to wait until nine days later, when the volcano is at its most active and about to erupt. At that time, all you need to do is hold the Heart of the Puppet tightly, stand in the largest lava lake in the center, and activate the magic circle. The active volcano will cause you great pain, and it is even possible that the appearance of a high-level spiritual object will destroy the magic circle and kill you... Are you ready?"

She looked at Sharon.

Charlene nodded seriously, "I'm ready." Pera sighed, "If I could, I wouldn't want to use this method either, but... I have no choice. I hope the president will appear and help me stabilize the volcano. If she's there, I won't have to worry about any accidents."

Ross looked at Sharon thoughtfully.

This girl's faith is so strong?
He tried to sense it carefully, but unfortunately, even when he used his mental power to enter Shalin's mind, he did not get the same vague feeling as Benovia.

He checked it and shook his head: "The level of divine contract is still a bit low. It's not 100% divine contract, so there's no way to improve it."

This magic circle is useful, but you need to find the right 'sacrifice'; even a divine affinity of 99% won't work.

This was something Ross confirmed after Benovia summoned him.

Furthermore, the final summoning ceremony, like confessing your love to a girl, is a declaration of victory, not a battle cry.

In other words, before the summoning ritual is successful, the 'sacrifice' must establish a vague connection with him, or at least receive a hint of revelation.

Charlene lacks all of these qualities.

However, it's still quite difficult to find someone with a high level of divine affinity.

"How did the Holy Court manage to find 100% suitable candidates for the Holy Maiden with such precision?"

Ross couldn't help but become interested.

This question should be answered once Celia becomes a saint. There's no need to waste time having Celia investigate now; at most, we can mention it when we get back.

"Benovia can go."

Thinking it over, Ross sent Benovia a "divine message".

Sensing her presence, Benovia quickly put down her book, a look of surprise on her face.

But soon, she sat down again.

Because Ross didn't respond to her nonsensical questions, he became mute after issuing the "oracle."

Benovia sighed and picked up her book again.

"The gods haven't given me a date yet. I'll finish reading this book first and then ask them."

Ross glanced at the textbook, which was thicker than a coin (referring to the upright coin), and then at Benovia's progress of not even being halfway through. He was both amused and exasperated.

"I'm getting lazier and lazier."

Aside from not liking to sleep, he's a bit like Alina.

"Responding to her question might get her moving immediately, but I'll pass."

Ross shook his head as he thought of the questions Benovia had asked him after successfully summoning him.

Do gods need to eat? What do gods do every day? How strong are gods? Do gods need to sleep? ...and so on.

Like a curious child.

If we were to respond, it would probably be ten times more troublesome than dealing with Celia.

I'd rather be a cold and aloof god.

His thoughts returned to Sharon. Watching her prepare to leave, Ross pondered for a moment and came up with a solution, though he wasn't sure if it would work.

"Perhaps we can send a vague divine message to Celia first, and then let her try to make contact with me. Maybe then we can succeed."

This needs a catalyst.

Ross quickly found this opportunity.
