Chapter 619

Sui Xiong could tell that Wall was really in rage this time .

At that moment, he wore a murderous look on his face . That murderous intention, in turn, contained a cold and fierce aura, as though Wall was a demon beast ready to rip his enemy alive .

That was hostility, and it was something more brutal than being murderous .

Usually, people would confuse murderous intent with hostility . In truth, these were two different concepts altogether . A murderous intention was an entity in its purest form, like battle, killing, victory… it was a demonstration of the innermost fighting spirit rooted within the blood of all living beings, so it was clean without any impurities . Hostility, on the other hand, was not pure . It was hatred, jealousy, greed… so on and so forth, it was the embodiment of various kinds of negative emotions, which were all the deep and gloomy by-products of wisdom .

In nature, there were many kinds of wild beasts carrying such a murderous aura . But even the most ferocious beasts, like the lions and tigers, would not carry with them an aura filled with hostility . This was because their intelligence level did not support such strong emotions . In other words, if one could detect hostility from any of these wild beasts, then the wisest choice would be to run away while they were still far from the beast—this thing might have already transformed into a demon beast, so any delay in running away would render one as lunch for this beast .

Wall was a neutral god, who sported more traits of being a good god, and yet, he did not belong to the Good Camp—this was perceivable from how he had gained his fame way back then . The moment he got angry, he would wield his blade; in the depth of the night, he would go out killing, and such deeds were most certainly not something gods from the Good Camp would do . Even those known as the “Wandering Paladins” from the Chaotic Good Camp would not be capable of such vicious doings… something to take note of—back when Wall wanted to seek vengeance, he had slipped into the temple of the Kingdom of Holy Angels during the promotion ceremony of the Duke of Holy Fire . But along the way, he had killed many soldiers and guards who were completely unrelated to him and whom he did not bear any hatred for at all .

A person capable of such killings was undoubtedly someone capable of harboring hostility .

Over the past few years, Sui Xiong had never seen such hostility from Wall . Even back when Wall got to know that Sui Xiong was injured by the various Orc Gods and when everyone had made a commotion about taking revenge, all Sui Xiong could sense from Wall was a murderous aura . There was no hostility to speak of . Sui Xiong had thought that after years of self-cultivation, Wall finally managed to transform hostility into peace, just like how Xiao Yuan Shan and Mu Rong Bo, from The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, a martial arts novel, were enlightened by eminent monks .

Yet now, Sui Xiong could see this hostility . But instead of worrying, he was, on the contrary, secretly smiling .

Wall practically looked upon Olian as a child . When his own child was injured by someone else, it would be impossible not to incur a father’s wrath . It was a good thing that he was able to show such hostility . This showed that there was still much humanity in him .

To a god of belief, humanity was essential . Only humanity was able to resist the erosion of the power of belief, hence allowing the god to retain their clear and complete self . If even their humanity was worn out, then this god would gradually become what their followers believed or expected them to be—a god that was no longer themselves .

Of course, this was an extremely long process . The shorter periods would be around a few hundred years while the longer periods could take as long as tens of thousands of years . But for one who was just sealed with the title of a god, the first hundred years were the most important . If within these hundred years, the newly sealed god could effectively resist the erosion power of belief, then this god would be able to retain his original self for a long, long time . On the contrary, if during the first hundred years, the newly sealed god underwent a distortion of character, then the outcome would often be that this god would become a pure polymer of beliefs within the next three to four hundred years .

Wall was originally a warrior; yet over the years, he had become more and more like a scholar . Sui Xiong had always been a little worried about that . But seeing how fearsome he looked at that moment, clearly, he was still that fighter from the good old days, whose blade tip was always dripping with blood . This gave Sui Xiong peace of mind .

So when Wall said that he would make a clone of himself and descend upon the earth just to fight against the Church of the God of Aristocracy, Sui Xiong had no intention of stopping him . Instead, Sui Xiong had encouraged him to go ahead with his plans .

“Well said!” said Sui Xiong as he nodded; then he continued to say, “But has it ever crossed your mind that the most powerful ones out of all those Holy Sons and Holy Daughters from your church are at most mid-level, even if they were most carefully selected? How much of your Divine Power can they bear? If you are unable to transfuse them with enough Divine Power, then there is no way they can become strong enough . By then, not only will they lose their lives in vain, you yourself would be easily losing your divinity for no reason at all . ”

Wall frowned all at once . This was a topic that struck home .

Possessing a body in order to descend upon the earth was the most economical method for a god to arrive in the mortal world, but it would impose very demanding requirements on the person being possessed . Not only must their physique be able to adapt to the influx of Divine Power to the greatest extent possible, but they were also required to be strong enough to accommodate as much Divine Power as possible . The purpose of the gods possessing human bodies to descend upon Earth was to fight enemies . If the amount of Divine Power taken in was too little, then even if one was possessed by a god, there would not be an increase in combat power . On the contrary, the enemy would most likely destroy this follower who was possessed by the god, along with that trace of divinity gained when being possessed . That would be a heavy loss .

Of course, there would naturally be ways to improve such a situation and the most commonly used one would be to make blood offerings . Back when there was great chaos within Garth City, Sean Riley, the second son of City Lord Joseph Riley, had used such a method to allow the Goddess of Marsh to pass down a tremendous amount of Divine Power . It was so powerful that he was able to suppress his father, who was a Legendary Master, and his sister, who had also summoned a god into descending to the earth . Ultimately, Sean Riley managed to force the Goddess of Harvest into self-detonating its clone .

It should be noted that his ability had barely reached mid-level and was thus completely incomparable to his sister, Heli Riley’s, ability . She was already a high-level clergyman . In the ordinary course of events, even if the Goddess of Marsh were to possess a body to descend upon the mortal world, it would be absolutely impossible to win against the Goddess of Harvest, who had also possessed a body to be able to appear within the mortal world .

But in order to achieve the effect of allowing the Goddess of Marsh to pass on a great amount of divinity, Sean had killed his wife and children . He wiped out his entire family and used all of them as sacrificial offerings . Such an act was simply insane and perverse, and no one with the slightest hint of conscience in them would be capable of pulling that off . Only an evil god like the Goddess of Marsh would allow her followers to perform such cruelty .

Undoubtedly, Wall would not possibly do something like that, and that was why he was feeling a little troubled . Seeing how troubled he was, Sui Xiong gave a secretive smile .

“You can count on me on this!” Sui Xiong said as his tentacles began flashing out radiant light rays, thereafter churning out a few pills . “Distribute these pills to the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters in a while and get them all to swallow one pill each . After the pills take effect, you can possess the bodies to make your descent . I guarantee that you will be able to cast down a great amount of Divine Power . ”

Wall took the pills from Sui Xiong and gave them a little squeeze . The crust was a little soft, and upon taking a closer look, he could see that the inside of the pill was vaguely a tad transparent . It seemed to contain a certain kind of liquid .

“What effect does this pill have?” Wall asked out of curiosity .

“That’s a secret . You will know in a while . ”

Wall asked no further . He directly sent the pills over to Olian and instructed her on what she had to do with the pills .

At this time, relying on the Punishing Fist of Heaven, the Church of the God of Aristocracy had salvaged itself from any disadvantage that it was at and was about to counterattack . Its Legendary Masters were successively raining attacks while the mass-produced Oracles, who were charging forward, were steadily losing ground .

Upon seeing how the loss was quite substantial, Lion got the Oracles to retreat for the time being . They would wait for the subsequent backup to arrive before fighting again .

At this point, it was almost time for them to go all out . This was why Olian had not hesitated in giving out these pills to the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters and getting them to swallow them .

Normally, when asked to eat medicine of an unknown origin, people would tend to feel worried . But being Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, they were originally meant to be one-time warriors of sacrifice . In most cases, when the god possessed a body to descend upon the earth, the soul of the human would be jostled out of its body and then be sent to its God’s Kingdom . So regardless of the final outcome, their lives as “mortals” had definitely come to an end .

If that was the case, then they were certainly not bothered about what medicine they were about to take .

These pills had a strange yet unique appearance, and the effect they evoked was even more extraordinary . Not only would they melt in the mouth right away, but the moment they were swallowed, there would be a rush of heat produced, which in turn would tumble about within the chest and stomach . The ones ingesting these pills would feel a great bout of energy gushing out from within their bodies, causing them to feel the irresistible urge to let out a loud, ferocious roar .

Even someone with average ability could tell that they had undergone a massive transformation—needless to mention anything else, just that sudden vigor arising was certainly not something that could be falsified .

“Right now!” Sui Xiong reminded loudly .

Wall nodded . He shut his eyes as his face went a little pale .

The statue right in the middle of the formation of the Church of the God of Knowledge suddenly glowed with an outburst of brilliant rays, shooting out numerous streams of brilliant white light that fell upon several Holy Sons and Holy Daughters .

The next moment, the looks in their eyes completely changed . Their eyes now looked fierce and resolute and were all the more filled with murderous intent . Wall, the God of Knowledge, had possessed another’s body to make his descent into the mortal world .
