▪️SHIFTING BLAME

Elven Forest.

After sending a system prompt to the players, Evé decided to finally kill the enemy demigod who she had recaptured back to her Celestial Domain.

Similar to that vampire godwarden, this demigod’s soul is connected with Uller, the god of winter and hunting.

She could still temporarily block this connection, just as long as she keeps the demigod’s soul trapped inside her celestial domain but Volker’s soul would definitely return to Uller once the domain stopped its manifestation.

However…she found a brute-force solution to this dilemma.

The solution was to simply kill Volker, while also completely annihilating his soul at the same time.

Subsequently, all of the divine power stored within the demigods’ body was also extracted by Evé and funneled it into herself…

A whopping 270 DP!

A demigod’s divine power is generally ranges between 100 to 600 points.

As a seasoned demigod who had lived for a long time, Volker had already reached the peak of demigod strength and actually had 600 DP at his full strength!

However, he had consumed a lot during his struggle, but even so, he still had more than 270 DP points left remaining.

And all of this was absorbed by Evé, becoming the nourishment for her own growth.

Although there were some losses during the absorption process, it ultimately provided Evé with more than 100 points of divine power.

This made Evé very satisfied since it instantly replenished the DP she lost when she manifested her Celestial Domain into the physical world.

The DP consumption of the domain was indeed colossal, almost consuming 01 DP per every minute that passed by after its manifestation.

Furthermore, the DP consumption also soared exponentially when she altered the governing natural laws inside the domain.

Therefore, Evé swiftly closed the Celestial Domain after killing Volker.

However, she did not stop there but also materialized her Deaths’ Godwarden once again…

Someone has to take the blame after all.

The Dark Mountain Range.

Night Wanderer’s expression was etched in fear as he quickly flee in a desperate manner.

At this moment, he no longer cared about his image of being elegant and used all his remaining power to get away from this place fast.

“Haah…haah, I never e-expected this…even Lord Volker failed to subdue that terrifying new deity…” The vampire muttered in between panting breaths.

“How could this be? Wasn’t she supposed to be a new god? She just recently ascended into godhood, and she certainly still hasn’t yet mastered her own divinity as well. So then, how could she have the power to defeat Lord Volker, a seasoned demigod?”

“Or m-maybe…it was actually done by that existence that’s assisting her from the shadows?”

At this moment, a certain image of an ashen haired female figure he saw back when he first entered the Elven Forest suddenly appeared in Night Wanderer’s mind…

Now that he thought about it, he didn’t see nor sensed the presence of that figure during the entire clash between the elves and the orcs.

In other words, Death’s Godwarden did not intervene on that battle and was perhaps preoccupied with something else instead!

Could it be that the goddess of death sent out her own envoy to deal with the totem guardian?

Night Wanderer’s expression was then filled with fear upon making this assumption.

However, he wasn’t too worried about Volker’s safety.

Because the demigod was an envoy of a true god. His soul still would return back to heavenly realm even if he was physically killed.

As a true god at the peak of low-ranking divinity, Uller could easily help his envoy reshape his physical body and obtain the secrets of the Elven Forest from Volker once he returns.

“Anyway…I’ve done all that I can do. It’s better to leave this place now while I still can. The rest is beyond my scope of ability to intervene in.”

Night Wanderer thought to himself.

Just then, suddenly, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

He instinctively looked up and saw a spectral-like figure slowly descending from midair…

Sh*t, It was the last person he wanted to see right now…

Dark grey hair, a black wraith cloak, and glowing crimson eyes…

Plus the almost tangible aura of death!

Godwarden of Death!

Night Wanderer’s pupils contracted.

He had almost depleted his magical power and was no match for her at this moment!

“Milady, what brings you here! Your side have already won this war, yet you’re still persisting on targeting me?”

Night Wanderer spoke through a calm facade, desperately trying to hide his inner fear.

“In that case…you really will be enemies with the hunter god.”

He threatened in a low voice.

“Hehe, do you really dare to become enemies with the god of winter and hunting?”

The Godwarden of Death sneered and said,

“Your master struck first in this war. In addition… we have already killed the totem demigod. Do you think you can escape as well?”

“Kill… killed!?”

Night Wanderer widened his eyes, thinking for a moment that he had misheard her words.

Killing and defeating…These two were completely different concepts.

For a god’s envoy, killing meant annihilating the soul!

Oh god!

What method did they use to eradicate a demigods’ soul, an envoy of a true god in such a short amount of time?

Aren’t they afraid of Ullers’ retaliation?

Night Wanderer did not think about her using the power of a Celestial Realm because a domain could not be manifested without first completely mastering one’s own divinity.

Therefore, Night Wanderer thought of something else…

Wait… she said “we”?

Thinking of a certain existence, Night Wanderer took a deep breath.

Could it be…

Could it be done by the goddess of death?

It must be so… only Lady Death, who had a deep understanding of the inner workings of a soul, had the power and expertise to sever the connection between a true god and its envoy!

Lady Hela must’ve been the one who eradicated Volker’s soul.

Escape!

Must quickly escape!

Night Wanderer didn’t hesitate anyone and fled like his life depended on it.

However, his power had already been depleted in the process of summoning Volker, and he was also no match against this godwarden.

Suddenly, the crimson-eyed Godwarden appeared before him with a flicker. In Night Wanderer’s frightened gaze, she stabbed her hand directly into his chest and grabbed ahold of his beating heart firmly between her fingers!

In that instant, the blood count was frozen in place.

“Please convey this divine message to your master, Uller… ‘He has overstepped his boundaries…disputes between gods should be conducted through godly means. Even newly ascendants deserves respect.’ “

“The fate of your envoys are merely just a warning.”

—Snap!

He could feel his chest collapsing as his heart was completely crushed by the godwarden.

Night Wanderer widened his eyes in horror as he tried to open his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out…only a mouthful of black blood as the light within his eyes gradually lost their brilliance…

All the power of a Blood Clan member comes from their hearts.

It would be equivalent to death if their heart is destroyed.

Suddenly, Night Wanderers’ body ignited with blood-red flames, as his whole body quickly turned into ashes as it scattered by the blowing winds…

At the same time, his soul was summoned by Uller before it slowly disappeared.

The crimson-eyed godwarden did not stop him, as she only silently gazed impassively at the direction where Night Wanderer’s soul flew, before merging down into the shadows…

In the divine kingdom of the Silverfrost Glacier in the heavenly realm.

Uller was extremely annoyed, feeling the deaths of many of his believers and also losing contact with the demigod Volker.

“Why can’t I sense Volker’s soul?”

At this time, a transparent soul ascended into his divine kingdom.

Uller’s heart moved, and he reached out to read the memory of this particular soul.

After a moment of tense silence, the entire divine kingdom began to tremble, as a heavy snowstorm began to cloud in the entire skies.

“Damn it! Sh*t!”

“That impertinent servant of Hela, how dare she actually do this!!”

Uller slapped his golden throne with one hand without holding back, which inadvertently shattered the entire left armrest.

“Hela… do you have to be my enemy? Do you actually dare to be my enemy?!”

“Damn it! Why don’t you just shrink back to underworld like you always do!?”

Endless anger surged in Uller’s expression.

“Hmph! Since you dare stand against me…I will see to it that this new god of yours will never join the Pantheon!”

“A god won’t get the recognition of the rest of the gods if they don’t join the Pantheon and if you don’t get the recognition of the gods, then you will never receive any protection under the covenant of the gods!”

“The divinity of nature and life, will be mine!”

“This new god… must fall!”

Uller’s angry roar spread far and wide…
