Chapter 676 - 674: Pantheon Infighting?

Through marking the remnants of Haroldias’s body, Rose successfully entered the subspace specially prepared by Haroldias for those who awaken him, and he saw Phil who was reading the residual memories.

Besides Phil, there is another person here.

The other person was over in the Life Element Area and seemed to have already started the awakening program, so Rose did not disturb, and came specifically to see what Phil had encountered.

Phil, the little rabbit, was very flustered at this moment, neither able to run nor stand, nervously pinching the corners of her skirt, looking rather anxious and scared at Rose’s slowly emerging shadow.

Rose even saw a trace of despair in Phil’s eyes.

It seems because in the place of divine inheritance, seeing the Evil God made her despair.

Seeing her like this, Rose laughed, and his smile was somewhat sinister.

"What do you think I appear here for?"

Phil was extremely nervous: "Is it... is it to kill Haroldias?"

"Oh? You know he’s here?"

"I don’t know..."

"Then why do you think I’m here to kill him?"

"This... this... I guessed."

Phil was still somewhat uneasy.

Rose chuckled lightly: "Continue your journey, Haroldias’s relics do not interest me."

"Then you..."

"Of course, I’m here for you, someone wants to abduct the Abyss Princess I fancy, how could I not come to watch?"

Phil: "..."

She always felt that Rose wasn’t telling the truth.

But at this moment, she dared not say anything.

Better to believe it.

"Then you... will you destroy this place?"

"You guess?"

"..."

Phil didn’t plan to guess.

Seeing Rose still smiling, she hesitated, cautiously asked: "Then, shall I continue?"

"Hmm, go on."

Rose nodded.

He was actually very interested in what happened back then.

But Phil was receiving messages too slowly.

Just now, she received messages twice, although it seemed instantaneous, in reality, a long time had passed, Hilia had even gathered all of Haroldias’s remaining organs.

At this rate, it might take several days for Phil to finish this journey, reach the end of the subspace, and acquire Haroldias’s relics.

Rose didn’t mind, but Hilia was still in that subspace, wanting to leave, Phil had to finish quickly.

Forcibly leaving was possible, but it would affect Phil here, potentially causing her to encounter mishaps, unable to return smoothly.

Tier Four Mages going without food or drink for days wasn’t an issue, but that subspace wasn’t as calm and safe as it appeared on the surface.

Over time, outsiders would slowly affect the system there, then enemies would appear.

According to the human body structure, Hilia and the others were akin to external ’bacteria’, when these ’bacteria’ entered the body, immune cells should start taking action.

No attacks occurred because Hilia had just ventured in, the ’immune cells’ hadn’t reacted yet.

"Still need to speed up, delays will lead to changes."

Rose shook his head, watching Phil touch the third skeleton, raised his hand, slowly drawing a rune in the air.

After Phil’s reading process ended, successfully obtaining the information within, he injected the rune into Phil’s body.

The function of this rune was uncomplicated, merely skipping the reading process—though not really skipping, more like Rose reading and then transferring it to Phil, omitting Phil’s difficult steps in acquiring divine information.

And so soon, Phil slowly approached the end.

From the acquired information, Rose slowly pieced together a buried story.

Haroldias seemed to have fought with Zeus, but lost; the two Main Gods engaged in an unequal negotiation, signing an unequal pact.

The contents of the pact were that Zeus ’borrowed’ Haroldias’s body, having it buried underground in Elf Forest to restrain a large amount of contamination for him.

Zeus’s reason was magnanimous, to break free from the limitations of the divine format, to triumph over Rose, the ’great demon’.

And for Haroldias’s followers, it was "to resolve the disaster".

On the surface, it indeed looks like the God of Life and Death, Haroldias, couldn’t bear seeing Starfall Continent ravaged by pollution, thus self-sacrificed, himself went into eternal slumber, his body buried underground in Elf Forest, gathering the massive amount of contamination, sealing it with life energy.

In reality, Haroldias compromised, used his body to reach an unknown agreement with Zeus, had to enter slumber, and his divine format was taken by Zeus, who created You Jelieya and Ze Lishalin, two of Haroldias’s followers.

This information, Rose indeed learned from those two followers.

They initially believed Zeus’s rhetoric, thinking Haroldias self-sacrificed, later awakened by someone, then with the person’s aid broke free from Zeus’s constraints, though the cost of breaking free was great, their power dropped directly to Tier Six, the tier without surpassing limits.

Normally, followers directly created like this, even if not Tier Nine or Ten, should at least have the power of Tier Seven or Eight, after all, they are deeply connected to the divine format, slightly training, even Tier Nine or Ten is attainable, with luck becoming a lower deity with divine help.

However, You Jelieya and Ze Lishalin only had Tier Six strength.

Later, You Jelieya and Ze Lishalin, through the connection between followers and gods, seemed to successfully contact Haroldias, then following Haroldias’s guidance, they lurked down, slowly releasing the underground contamination, weakening its concentration, giving Haroldias a chance to awaken.

"Interesting, Main God infighting, perhaps Ethel knows something too."

Rose pondered for a moment, then focused his attention on the Sealed Land of Endless Abyss.

At this time, Ethel was constructing a second palace.

Rose picked up a small stone with a one-meter diameter, casually tossed it onto his head, knocking him underground, creating a pit, and then asked: "Hey, do you know about the God of Life and Death, Haroldias?"

Ethel scrambled up as if nothing had happened, patting the dust off, expressionless: "Don’t know."

"Really don’t know?"

Rose raised an eyebrow: "I’ve seen it, Haroldias fought with Zeus."

Ethel’s body paused, he looked over, "You found Haroldias?"

"Almost." Rose laughed slyly: "I’m waiting for him to wake up, so he can come accompany you."

Ethel’s gaze instantly became complicated.

Rose tempted: "Don’t you want someone to keep you company?"

Ethel frowned: "I don’t want to betray a friend."

"Oh? Really? But Haroldias doesn’t seem to regard you as a friend, just using you as a tool."

"I do know some things about Haroldias, if you wish to listen, I can tell you a bit."
