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

Chapter 698 Ross: I can create a body for you for free, you're welcome.
It appears that Haroldius intends to reclaim his physical body from the underground magic circle.

In reality, that was just a smokescreen.

Even if a body that has been ravaged by pollution for five hundred years is regained, it is like clothes that have been soaked in a septic tank for five hundred years to Halodias. No matter how you look at it, you don't really want it anymore.

Therefore, when he projected his image onto Celia, it appeared as if he had noticed that Celia was someone who resembled the God-King and wanted to cause trouble for the God-King, but in reality, he wanted to mislead the God-King.

However, the God-King did not appear; instead, Ross did.

This was somewhat unexpected for Haroldius, but he decided to proceed as planned.

The plan was simple, the key being that the two 'lucky ones' he selected, Phil, who represented death, was one of them.

"The power of life and death has long been integrated into my soul. My divine nature can be temporarily divided into two parts, and so can my soul. Neither Zeuding nor Ross could have imagined that I would use the possession of the remains as a cover, but in reality, I would use two mortals to complete the resurrection."

Haroldias relaxed.

On the other side of the broken body, he was still slowly taking over the body as a smokescreen, while the soul had already split into two attributes and had come to the two chosen people respectively. Relying on the divine relics they obtained as anchor points, Harodias could easily descend into their spiritual space.

Then, he saw Ross in Phil's mental space.

"Huh? Am I dazzled?"

Not sure, take another look.

The next moment, Haroldius's face turned ashen, as if he had eaten shit.

"you……"

"Surprised? Unexpected? The person you chose has been mine for a long time."

As he spoke, Ross's mental power completely enveloped Phil's mental space, briefly turning it into his own domain.

If Haroldias hadn't chosen Phil, or one of the girls he was interested in, then perhaps his plan would have succeeded.

Ross's initial plan was entirely aimed at Haroldias's plan to collect the body. Whether it was helping him cover his tracks from Zeuding or making his awakening process incredibly smooth, his focus was on Haroldias's remains.

Until Phil suddenly received guidance from Harodias, who instructed her to search for relics. The process of finding the relics, whether it was the beast tide or something else, was all too predetermined.

This made Ross realize something.

Ross secretly followed Phil to the location of the relics, which further confirmed his suspicions.

Haroldius's act of having Phil and another lucky man read about his life and misery was not without reason; it was to deepen their connection so that he could be better prepared to descend into the world.

A series of events led Ross to confirm Haroldias's true intentions. He then decided to play along, pretending to capture Haroldias but giving him the opportunity to self-destruct. He pretended to be genuinely bewitched and attempted to attack Haroldias's remains within the magic circle.

Then, naturally, we need to get Celia here quickly so she can set up an ambush.

Phil's strange expression during her meditation wasn't because Halodias had arrived, but because she was trying to respond to him. The deepening connection gave her a vague feeling that she could receive divine blessings, so she attempted to pray.

Unlike Ross, who was separated by an endless abyss and a seal, it was quite easy for Harodias to get a response, especially for someone like Phil with a high level of divine affinity.

Once a soul has fully entered the mental space, escaping is not so easy.

Ross's mental energy transformed into an invisible hand, enveloping Haroldias.

After fierce resistance, Harodias, representing the soul of the element of death, was successfully bound.

He gave up resisting and looked at Ross: "Why?"

Ross knew what he wanted to ask, chuckled, and said, "Although she was the one I chose, I haven't made contact with her. It's all for now, can't you see?" "No."

Haroldias looked doubtful.

Ross smiled but did not mention that he was temporarily unable to communicate freely with others.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Harodias snorted and said, "It's no use that you only have half of me. Sooner or later I will transfer this half of my soul energy back to me."

"How could I only catch half of them? I've seen your other candidate before, how could I let him go?"

Haroldius's expression changed, and before he could say anything, he was grabbed by Ross's invisible hand, pulled out of Phil's mental space, and entered Celia's mental space.

Although Celia had accepted her new role, Ross still shattered Haroldias's form when he threw him into Celia's mental space, turning him into a ball of light and completely enveloping him with his mental power, preventing him from contacting Celia.

Others are fine, but as for Celia, Ross won't allow other gods to have any contact with her. To Celia, other gods are untouchables, and Ross will never allow them to come into contact with her.

The girl looked curiously at the ball of light in her mental space and asked, "What is this?"

"Some soul energy."

"Oh."

"However, it's not complete; the other half needs to be retrieved."

After a moment of silence, Celia said, "Is it the god of life and death?"

Ross raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Not bad."

"He...is dead?"

"No, that's not true. This guy's resurrection caused such a big commotion, he's not so easy to kill. He just split his soul in two, one half to possess Phil, and the other half to possess an elven."

"Possession" of an Elf?"

Celia tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

"Can the elves, who do not worship other gods but only their own, also descend upon us?"

The Holy Court has detailed records about the descent of gods, though of course, they differ greatly from the actual situation. Fortunately, Ross also understands this and has discussed it with Celia.

Generally speaking, deities cannot simply choose anyone to perform the descent ritual and thus possess that person's body.

Because once a deity chooses to descend and reincarnate, whether they can return to their divine position depends entirely on the potential of the vessel and various other factors.

Therefore, the body, as the vessel, needs to meet many requirements. The most basic are the five criteria for selecting a saintess: kindness, purity, affinity, talent, and divine contract. Each of these is crucial.

Finally, the other party must have some connection with oneself.

The requirements are very strict. Unless a god does not want to return to his divine position, he will not reincarnate at will. Just like Ethel, he would rather live as a soul than reincarnate easily.

"That's generally how it is, but Haroldius doesn't want to rely on reincarnation through descent. In fact, he wants these two chosen people to nourish his soul so that he can slowly reshape his body."

"However, there is now a faster way."

Rose was all smiles.

"That is, let me help him rebuild his body."
