Chapter 628 "Playing with" Phil

On the other side, Ross arrived at the square where Phil often received treatment, donning his usual attire when meeting Phil: a black robe and hood obscuring his face.

Then he waited quietly.

He chose a time when Phil had basically finished one round of treatment.

Based on observations over the past few days, after finishing the purification treatment, she would go alone to an artificial lake near the treatment area to digest the surging pollution and life force.

To dispel the pollution for hundreds of people, Phil used the method of absorption and then purification. This method is naturally fast, but it is equivalent to transferring the suffering of others onto oneself. If it is not dealt with in time, even people with special constitutions may have problems.

"Whoo~"

Phil let out a soft breath, touched his cheek, and felt the pain coursing through his body; his expression was somewhat pale.

"After absorbing pollution continuously, my body can't take it anymore. If I don't give it a break, something serious might really happen..."

Phil patted his cheeks and shook his head.

"No, I can't rest yet. There are still so many people. If it's not possible, let's let them absorb some of the pollution first, and then expel them after this is all over..."

"Oh? You really want to become my kin?"

A voice suddenly rang in my ear.

The familiar voice startled Phil, causing him to stumble and nearly fall, before being caught by hands reaching out from in front of him.

Phil looked up in alarm at the figure in front of him, whose face was obscured by a black robe.

"Rororo... Lord Ross?! You... you... what are you doing here?"

Ross looked at her, chuckled, and said calmly, "Come with me."

Phil clasped her hands together, a gesture that revealed her turbulent emotions.

She wanted to run away, but in the end she obediently followed Ross to a tree by the roadside.

"Give me your hand," Ross commanded.

Phil tensed up, hesitatingly wanting to reach out his hand but not daring to.

"Didn't you hear me?" Ross's tone turned stern.

"I can hear you!"

Phil quickly reached out and placed his hand in front of Ross.

Ross took her hand and slowly dispelled the severe demonic pollution that had accumulated in her body.

The pain quickly disappeared, and the comfortable warmth made Phil groan involuntarily. Then he realized what was happening and looked nervously at Ross in front of him.

She remembered that Ross had told her not to absorb too much pollution.

However, she disobeyed Ross every time.

This is one of the sources of her nervousness.

Another reason, of course, is Ross's identity as the evil god.

But more importantly, it reflects Phil's consistent style, which contradicts what Ross said.

As the treatment slowly came to an end, Phil stood there anxiously, unsure of what to do. He could only clasp his hands together again and play with his fingers.

A moment later, Ross's voice came: "You didn't take what I said to heart at all."

Phil said nervously, "I...I didn't. This time...it was an accident. I can't just stand by and watch so many people suffer..."

"So you're letting them suffer all the pain on yourself?" Ross asked calmly.

Phil lowered his head and whispered, "So many people are suffering, why not pass it all on to me and let me suffer alone..." "It seems you're ready to become my servant." Ross suddenly chuckled, reaching out to slowly stroke Phil's long white hair.

Because of the life-giving elements that come with pollution, her white hair is not dry; on the contrary, it is very smooth, as if she has used Pantene.

Phil panicked.

She felt a mysterious power emanating from Ross's hand, entering her mind.

She didn't know what it was, but based on what Ross said, she felt...

Is the evil god finally going to turn against him?

"Lord Ross, please, please wait two more days. I haven't finished my treatment in the City of Mountains and Forests yet. Can I finish my treatment first before becoming your servant?" Phil pleaded.

"Are you negotiating with the evil god?" Ross chuckled.

"I……"

Phil looked desperate.

It seems there's no way to stop Rose's transformation.

Phil couldn't help but think of how he had once accidentally entered an underground altar and become a 'sacrifice,' forcibly transformed into a fifth-tier mage, lost his mind, and wreaked havoc in his father's city.

Although his father arrived in time and prevented much damage, Phil didn't want to experience that feeling again.

If you become a follower of an evil god, does that mean you'll become like that every day?
Phil was terrified.

Various thoughts raced through her mind, but she dared not move an inch, obediently accepting Ross's 'enlightenment'.

A moment later, Ross's 'enlightenment' ended. He chuckled and said, "I have added my unique mark to your soul. Now, every time you prepare to transform the power of the abyss into your own, you will be one step closer to becoming the Princess of the Abyss. Strive to transform, and I look forward to the day you become the Princess of the Abyss."

After saying that, Ross left, because he sensed that Benovia had come over.

The girl was quite curious, but Ross didn't intend to stop her from coming.

The time she spent here was enough for him to finish his business and leave.

It's worth mentioning that he can actually fake the connection between the puppet and Benovia.

So Benovia didn't come to Phil, but stayed not far away.

Rose now sends the puppet back to the area she sensed, where it will wait for her.

This area is not far from Phil, and the two will definitely meet, but they will not see each other communicating with the gods.

Even though both Celia and Benovia were aware of his existence, Ross never showed himself when they were together, letting them know in their hearts rather than making it public.

What Ross "imbued" Phil with was actually nothing special; he simply added some mental imprints that would allow her to connect with him. As for the Abyss Princess transformation, that was just a lie to Phil.

Of course, there's some benefit to saying this; at least it might prevent Phil from having the idea of ​​absorbing the power of pollution again—maybe.

Another benefit is that she will unconsciously assume that she has become Ross's confidante, thus indirectly strengthening their bond.

Once we obtain the fragment of the God of Life and Death and give it to her, the situation like Shalin's will not occur.

Although Ross thought that the reason for Shalin's failure was probably because her divine bond level was not 100%, he still had to take precautions.

Rose had originally planned to give Phil a "progress bar" so that she could feel herself gradually becoming the "Princess of the Abyss," but after thinking about it, she felt that this might cause her to frantically test the limits at 99%, so she gave up on the idea.

The unknown is what frightens her and prevents her from having the idea of ​​merging with demonic energy and becoming corrupted.

Meanwhile, Benovia found her own puppet.
