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

Chapter 718 You can't just casually mention "evil god," little Phil.
Fear will not solve the problem.

Now that things had come to this, Phil felt that he had to try, no matter what; perhaps the Holy See could help him.

From the moment Ross first approached him, Phil had been considering whether to tell the others in the Holy See.

However, because Rose is described as a terrible evil god in the Word of God, and anyone who mentions His name will be sensed by Him, she did not do so.

It wasn't just the worry that others were also being targeted, but also Ross's attitude that gave her hope.

But now, she has obtained the relic of the 'True God,' and this is the time to receive the divine gift. Ross descends and says he will make her the princess of the abyss. No matter what, Phil feels she has to struggle.

At least... at least we need to fully understand the gifts from the gods before giving them to the other members of the Holy Court.

Phil had already decided that before becoming the so-called 'Princess of the Abyss,' he would give all the relics of the gods to either Celia or Benovia, so that they could carry them forward, while he himself would enter the Abyss alone.

Even if she becomes the princess of the abyss, her heart will still be turned towards the light!
"I need time, God, please help me..."

The girl prayed as she approached Melina's room.

During this time, Melina had a little free time and was currently in her room.

"Hey? Phil? Have you made any new discoveries? Come in quickly."

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Phil went into the room and sat facing Melina. Looking at Melina, she hesitated for a moment before saying tentatively, "Bishop Melina, there's something... I need to report. It's about..."

Before he could finish speaking, Phil suddenly felt that the surroundings had become extremely quiet.

She looked up and suddenly froze.

Melina's smiling expression suddenly froze, and then she felt as if something had touched her heart.

The next moment, Melina in front of me suddenly turned into a painting and slowly cracked open from the middle.

A strong sense of fear quickly filled Phil's mind.

"Phil? Phil?"

Just then, Phil suddenly heard Melina's voice. She blinked, came to her senses, and saw that Melina, who had been split open, had returned to normal and was looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"What do you need to report? Why are you suddenly spacing out?"

Phil stared blankly at Melina for a long time before he came to his senses.

She immediately shook her head: "No, it's nothing, I just wanted to say... I might have to leave in a couple of days."

"Leave?" Melina frowned. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going... to the place where I obtained the divine relic, the relic..."

“It’s too dangerous there,” Melina said. “If you’re encountering difficulties while trying to comprehend a divine relic and need to go back, you should wait while the Holy Court negotiates with the Elven Royal Court first.”

She remembered that Phil entered by going beneath the sacred tree where the Elven Royal Court was located, in front of the high-ranking mages of the Elven Royal Court.

Because Celia's identity has been exposed, Phil's identity has also been investigated and exposed. It is obviously impossible for him to get in again like last time.

Therefore, Melina's first thought was to negotiate with the Elven Royal Court in her official capacity and reach an agreement.

But Phil shook his head: "No need, this time... we don't need to go through all that trouble... we can just go directly."

"That's good. I'll report this to the Holy Lord immediately and have him give you a few high-ranking knights to protect you..."

"Thank you, but no need... You can't go to that place."

"Alright then, when are you going? I'll go prepare some life-saving supplies for you..."

Phil opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end he didn't.

“I feel like something’s off with you, Phil. What’s wrong? Don’t keep it to yourself. Tell me. Don’t worry, what you think is the end of the world is nothing to a sixth-tier mage.”

No, let alone the sixth rank, even the seventh or eighth rank would be a catastrophe. Phil shook his head, said nothing, and stood up. "I'm a little tired, I'll go back first. I'm sorry, Bishop Melina."

After saying that, Phil left, leaving Melina to watch his retreating figure, lost in thought.

Ross watched the whole thing, and after Phil left, he pondered for a moment and couldn't help but smile.

"It seems I went a bit too far with the jokes, but these are things we all have to go through."

Given Phil's personality, the more pessimistic he is now, the more he will love Ross when he learns of Ross's purpose... cough cough.

That's the kind of contrast we need to create so that Phil will wholeheartedly believe in us.

Phil will definitely experience another emotional struggle in the next couple of days.

Just as he expected, Phil had been in a low mood for the past two days, and that didn't change even after Ross reappeared in front of her.

Ross pretended not to see the determination on Phil's face and said calmly, "Two days have passed. Let's go, Phil."

“Okay.” Phil lowered his head and stood up.

"Take Harodias's belongings with you."

Phil flinched, somewhat flustered: "N-Can't I not bring it?"

Ross smiled slightly: "No."

"Ok."

Phil struggled for a moment, but finally got up and took out the divine relic that looked like a withered tree branch from a box she had hidden, which was protected by multiple layers of codes and runes.

"Let's go."

Ross ignored Phil's pitiful expression, reached out and touched her, directly adding a teleportation rune to her.

The next moment, Phil's body disappeared and reappeared in the core area of ​​the magic circle, in the underground space where Haroldias's largest fragment of divinity was stored.

Many battles have taken place here, but everything seems to remain unchanged.

Phil looked around blankly.

Her gaze was quickly drawn to the fragment of divinity at the center.

She carried a relic of Harodias, which was no ordinary relic. As a result, Phil quickly felt that he could resonate strangely with the fragment of divinity.

"this thing……"

Phil could sense that this belonged to Harodias, the god of life and death, not to the evil god Ross.

Why would there be divine beings in this polluted underground?
This thing... it looks so much like the Heart of a Puppet.

As Phil was wondering what was going on, he suddenly heard Ross's voice.

"Feel this thing well, it belongs to Harodias."

"What is this?" Phil looked up at the sky.

Ross wasn't beside her at the moment; he was watching from a distance. If she wanted to get closer, Celia would have to come over.

But there might be risks for Celia to come over to do what Phil is doing now, so it's better to just keep an eye on things remotely.

Although he cannot descend to Phil's side, Ross's current level of control over the Elf Forest is no different from that of a personal visit.

"This is the extremely rare 'Puppet Heart'. Go and touch it, and then... take control of it!"

"!"
