BXBX NOVEL Chapter 488 Divine Faith Pool
However, Esther didn\'t possess a shred of compassion for humans. Thus, she killed all the ones who approached her. There was another reason she killed all the humans. It was because she couldn\'t allow these humans to touch the Holy Son with their filthy hands.
"I warned you all!" Esther coldly spoke while glaring at the humans through the corner of her eyes.
Dylan halted as he saw that cold expression. He knew that if he took another step forward, he would die.
Esther then turned to face Nudar, and her entire demeanor appeared to shift as she flashed an enthusiastic smile and an expectant expression.
"Can I join you at the Radiant Church in the capital?" Nudar inquired.
"Certainly!" Esther didn\'t even need to think before answering Nudar. She also wanted to lead Nudar to the Central Cathedral of the Radiant Church!
White wings sprouted from Nudar\'s back, and he began to fly in the air. As he flew, Esther saw a faint radiant glow around Nudar that made him appear divine.
"Then let\'s go," Nudar spoke as he held Esther\'s hands and flew in the sky. Esther was quite excited as she flew together with Nudar.
The angels that were accompanying Esther finally arrived at the scene. They were startled to see Esther holding someone else\'s hand. They noticed Nudar\'s white wings and understood that he was a Celestial. However, they still weren\'t very clear about his identity.
Esther immediately spoke out, "I had the fortune of encountering the Holy Son here. Go on without me and investigate the demonic presence while I escort the Holy Son back to the Central Cathedral."
The angels were a little scared as they heard that order. Their sensors had picked up a Rank 7 Demonic Presence. This meant someone with power equal to a Demon Emperor was nearby. The angels couldn\'t fight against such a powerful demon. They required the presence of an Archangel.
However, they didn\'t feel it would be right to speak against Archangel at this moment. They could only begrudgingly obey her orders and approach the location.
While he was on his way to the Lamhilhan Theocracy\'s capital, Nudar shared his memories with Azaroth.
Azaroth was utterly shocked as he read his clone\'s memories. He even read his clone\'s thoughts that had occurred chronologically. Thus, he realized that the Demon Emperor that was sealed inside the abyss near Night Mountain Hill actually emerged from Lamhilhan Theocracy.
"Wait…The Demon Emperor sealed inside the Night Mountain Hill cultivates the Yin Devouring Demonic Technique. His spiritual energy must be very impure after cultivating such a technique. How can he implant his spirit deep within Back Hurricane\'s spirit? I am missing something crucial," Azaroth mumbled to himself.
He further added, "Also, the Eternal Moonlit Radiance Barrier could prevent even spiritual interference with the outside world, regardless of the strength of the spiritual connection. So, how come Black Hurricane is still acting on his master\'s orders?"
At this moment, Nudar asked Esther, "I heard a Demon Emperor attacked the Lamhilhan Theocracy a few years ago. What exactly happened? I want to know all the details regarding that incident."
Esther seemed surprised to hear that statement, but she quickly answered his question, "Actually, that\'s only half-true, master. The public doesn\'t know the complete truth about that incident."
Nudar could guess where it was going. And he didn\'t like the sound of it very much. He inquired with a grave expression on his face, "What is the truth?"
"There was not one but two Demon Emperors!" Esther spoke those words with a serious look.
Nudar felt like facepalming at that moment. This was what he feared the most!
"Initially, the Radiant Church also received information that the enemy was merely a Demon Emperor. Thus, the Radiant Church sent a single team of Angels with an Archangel leading it. However, it turned out that another Demon Emperor was lying in wait for them. They easily slaughtered the entire team, but their power output was great enough that our sensors caught the demonic signature of both the Demon Emperors."
"Another team was set up. This time, there were 3 Archangels, including me. We were ordered to hunt these Demon Emperors at all costs. One was merely a sex demon while the other was a terrifying Spiritual Bolt Demonic Emperor!"
"During the battle, I fought that sex demon and fell for his trick, which allowed him to escape to the Glerian Kingdom. Meanwhile, the other two Archangels fought the Spiritual Bolt Demonic Emperor, but they were caught off-guard by his spiritual attacks and were temporarily paralyzed. This gave him enough time to conceal his presence. We haven\'t managed to find him ever since."
Nudar let out a sigh as he finished hearing the whole story. This unknown demon emperor was bound to be a troublesome individual.
It would be impossible to deal with this fellow using pure power. A Seventh Grade Array couldn\'t show its true potential under Nudar\'s hands because his rank was too low. He had to resort to trickery.
After six days, Nudar stepped into Lamhilhan Theocracy\'s capital. This city\'s name was Zavega!
Esther led Nudar straight to the central cathedral of the Radiant Church. At this moment, the people had come to the Cathedral to pray and receive the Radiant God\'s blessings.
At this moment, people saw Esther flying inside the Cathedral with another Celestial. They figured it was a Celestial because of those unique pair of white wings.
As Esther appeared, these devotees immediately squealed and howled in excitement. They thought that the Radiant God had listened to their prayers and sent Esther to personally bless them.
It greatly increased their positive feelings for the Radiant God and strengthened their faith.
When Nudar witnessed this sight, he sighed, "There are always fanatics regardless of the era."
After arriving, Esther spoke out, "The Cathedral will be closed for a short period due to an emergency. We will open the Cathedral as soon as possible. Please leave."
The priests conveyed Esther\'s orders to the people and led them out of the Cathedral.
"Open the Divine Faith Pool. I want to baptize myself in there," Nudar ordered Esther.
Esther didn\'t find this order odd. She guessed that Nudar wanted to clear himself of the human filth.
It took nearly 2 hours for all the devotees to be escorted out of the Cathedral and another hour to prepare the Divine Faith Pool.
This Divine Faith Pool was Spiritual Water that was enriched with Faith Energy. This Faith Energy was gathered from these devotees, and it was used to empower the Angels or Archangels in the area.
Every five years, the remaining energy in the Divine Faith Pool would be transferred to heaven for the Radiant God to absorb it. This was how the Celestials cultivated!
The Gods or the Primordial Gods weren\'t scared that the angels would try to absorb their faith energy. The Bloodline of the angels or Archangels couldn\'t endure the power of the Faith Energy. They could only borrow the faith energy temporarily before they would be forced to return it to the Divine Faith Pool.
However, Nudar was different! As he entered the Divine Faith Pool, he sensed a powerful presence within this pool. He wasn\'t scared, though.
Nudar closed his eyes and concentrated on absorbing the faith energy in this Divine Faith Pool.
"Help me, Radiant God. Save me from my boss! I will donate my yearly income to you!" Nudar snapped his eyes open as he heard this statement.
There was no one near him inside the water.
He closed his eyes once again and tried to absorb the Faith Energy in this Divine Faith Pool. He heard more whispers.
"Please grant me strength to take revenge, Radiant God."
"Please allow me to pass the examination and join the Guards."
"Please grant us the strength to control this Lamhilhan Theocracy for one more year."
These whispers continued to resound in Nudar\'s mind. However, Nudar ignored them and concentrated on absorbing the Faith Energy.
In the meantime, Azaroth sensed a massive amount of Faith Energy entering his body. He understood that this was accomplished by Nudar and was very excited!
Meanwhile, as Nudar began to absorb more Faith Energy, a powerful yet chilly voice echoed in his head, saying, "You dare to steal my Faith Energy?"
Nudar knew who had spoken. This was probably the Radiant God\'s Intent infused within this Divine Faith Pool.
Even though it was the Radiant God\'s Will that had spoken, Nudar didn\'t stop absorbing the Faith Energy. With a devilish smirk on his face, Nudar increased the absorption speed as if to spite the Radiant God\'s Will and responded arrogantly, "Stop me if you can."
