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

Chapter 548 The Most Miserable God? (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month~)

Celia, feared by the heretics and even the Dawn City siege team, had already entered the secret passage of the stronghold.

The good news is that there are no guards in this secret passage.

But there is also bad news.

"The deathly aura here is so strong, it feels like it's affecting people."

Celia frowned.

She summoned the puppet, and life magic emanated from it, transferring it to her to resist the erosion of death energy.

The death energy here is almost liquid; every breath causes a large amount of death energy to enter the body, causing serious harm.

The most direct impact is that the body shows signs of aging and death.

Celia couldn't help but feel fortunate that her puppet belonged to the Life faction, which was just enough to resist such a terrible influence.

"No wonder there are no guards here."

With such a concentration of deathly aura, I doubt any guard could withstand it.

Celia thought to herself, then quickly ran deeper into the area.

Even though the life magic of the puppet could resist the erosion of death energy, she didn't want to stay here. She just wanted to find her target as soon as possible and leave.

This passage is very deep, and it is basically spiraling downwards.

About ten minutes later, Celia arrived at the deepest part, where a huge underground space suddenly appeared before her.

This underground space is filled with magic array patterns. The magic flowing between these patterns is not attribute-less magic, but death magic that is filled with the aura of death.

At the center of the magic circle, two magical machines appeared, clearly separated along the central axis.

Between the two magical machines floated a black aura of death—

"The Heart of a Puppet!"

Celia's eyes lit up, and she was about to walk over.

Ross blocked her way. "Don't move. Just stay here and watch. This Puppet Heart is the cornerstone of the death aura in the entire Twilight Graveyard. The density of the death aura in the middle part is so high that even life magic can't stop it."

Celia stopped abruptly. "What should we do?"

"First, we need to modify this magic circle so that it changes from releasing death energy to gathering death energy. Only by stopping the Heart of the Puppet from releasing death energy can we collect it."

Celia blinked. "Lord Ross, this magic circle... is of a higher level than the one outside. I feel like it's comparable to the magic circle in the Golden Apple Stone Forest..."

Ross nodded, unsurprised: "So, I'll leave you to the side."

"Oh."

Celia obediently squatted in the corner and drew circles in the corner.

Ross, controlling Celia's puppet, slowly walked up.

Through the puppet, he released a layer of life magic, forming a turquoise shield around it to resist the erosion of the aura of death.

He arrived at the Heart of the Puppet...the fragment of the divine spark, and shook his head inwardly as he looked at the fragment of the divine spark that was releasing an aura of death.

"God of life and death, you're even worse off than Ethel. At least Ethel had a complete soul, and perhaps her body was intact as well. But you, not only was your godhood shattered, but you were also torn apart."

The god of life and death holds the power over birth and death.

This does not mean that he possesses two kinds of divine power, but rather that when he condensed his divine power, he possessed two contradictory powers and abilities, which converged to form a divine power with the attributes of life and death.

A divine spark is not limited to a single attribute. Although one cannot master multiple divine sparks at the same time, when condensing a divine spark, one can condense multiple elements simultaneously if one is bold enough. However, in most cases, one can only condense two attributes. If one condenses more than that, the difficulty of condensing will increase. The success rate of condensing a divine spark with three attributes is extremely low.

Only the God-King possesses a divine status with three attributes.

Dual-attribute deities are possessed by only a few main gods.

The god of life and death is one of them. Ross is able to distinguish whether a godhood belongs to a chief god.

Back in the city of Leites, he killed the sixth-order heretic's puppet with a single shot and obtained the life attribute godhood, which left him puzzled.

Because he felt that the fragment of the godhood seemed to be the godhood of the god of life and death, but its performance was weaker than that of the fragment of the godhood of the sea god. It seemed to be the fragment of the godhood of the god of life and death, and also like the godhood of a minor god, the god of life.

Only now has he come to a conclusion.

What Celia received was the divine status of the god of life and death.

However, it's not one-tenth, it's one-twentieth.

The divine essence of the God of Life and Death was not only shattered, but also divided into divine essence fragments with the two attributes of life and death!

Based on the magic circle beneath his feet, Ross suspected that the 'culprit' who shattered the divine status of the God of Life and Death was the God King.

Of course, it's also possible that the god of life and death shattered it himself.

"If he is a God-King, then the deathly aura of Twilight Town must be part of his plan. If he is the God of Life and Death, why did he painfully split his divine essence into two attributes...?"

Ross shook his head.

Why worry about so much? Just shift the blame to Zhou Ding and that's it.

"Now that we've encountered it, it's impossible not to destroy it."

Ross pondered for a moment, and had already figured out how to change the magic circle.

Perhaps for the sake of concealment, this magic array did not spread to the entire area affected by the deathly aura, but only to this underground space.

This is the entire magic circle.

"As long as we reverse the effect and absorb all the death energy back, that will be fine."

Ross began to take action.

In the corner by the entrance, Celia rested her chin on her hands, watching Ross control his puppet as it busied itself within the magic circle.

She felt her magic power rapidly dwindling.

"Thank goodness I'm at fourth rank now. If I were still at third rank, my magic power wouldn't be able to withstand Lord Ross's consumption at all," the girl murmured to herself.

Just in case, Celia thought for a moment, took out several bottles of magic-restoring potions and drank them down, then entered a meditative state to try to restore her magic power.

Time passed quietly.

The battle outside has reached a fever pitch. The magic circle, which has been relentlessly bombarded by Flora, is slowly showing cracks, and its energy is being rapidly depleted.

Meanwhile, underground, Ross's modifications were nearing completion.

Finally, he went to the two magical machines and snapped his fingers.

The two machines slowly switched positions, accompanied by a series of vibrations.

After the positions were completely reversed, the release of death energy from the divine fragments stopped instantly, and then the released death energy was slowly withdrawn.

This process accelerated, and in the end, the aura of death seemed to materialize, flying in from all directions and being absorbed into the fragments of the divine core.

The absorption of the aura of death immediately caused various abnormal phenomena outside.

The core of the divine fragment slowly transformed into a vortex, frantically absorbing the surrounding death energy. Just like the Golden Apple Stone Forest in the past, it stirred up storms and even polluted the area, creating a chaotic region comparable to the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

This chaotic area even affected the two sides that were fighting.

When they felt the power of death acting on them, everyone stopped fighting, retreated to the side, and were filled with surprise and doubt.

The two fifth-level heretics of the Twilight Cult suddenly realized something, and their expressions changed drastically.

"not good!"
