Chapter 430 - Deity's Gifts

After Ceril revealed the name of the Deity who gave these gifts to him after naturally breaking through to legendary rank through his tremendous hard work and receiving three enlightenments in Necromancer class…

Velsharoon, the Deity of Necromancy.

"It was 2 months ago while I was conducting my research on composition, affinity and possible combinations of different species that I could use to create various versions of the undead.

One day, I suddenly went into a state of trance and understood what truly meant to be a Necromancer." spoke Ceril with an elated expression.

"It's not just controlling a dead body or using your mana and elements to summon them. Instead…" he took a pause and revealed with a smile.

"It's changing the form of the state of life itself.

Death itself is a phase of life. An end to a cycle that we all will go through eventually.

But a Necromancer can revert that state with their abilities. Albeit imperfectly and with many variables and constraints added to it." He iterated one of his findings.

"But what we can do is not just revert the cycle but also change the form of the living being itself.

Whether it's mixing different species or attaching different body parts together.

The variations are always too many to count and can be improved as the time goes on." he said with a thoughtful expression.

One by one, he explained what form of wisdom and aspect of Necromancy he realized and achieved during all three enlightenments.

Other than Kahn… nobody else seemed to understand what the hell was the now renowned Flex King was talking about but they all acted like an ape understanding the concepts of the global economy.

"But right after I came out of the trance state from. The 3rd enlightenment just yesterday… I was suddenly pulled into a different realm of existence.

There was no mana or world energy… but only a force that felt like a combination of decay and death." he revealed.

Ceril then continued with gleaming eyes as he clasped his palms together as if praying to some ethereal being.

"And then I heard the voice of the deity Velsharoon.

He said that I'm the only one who has received the three enlightenments in the law of Necromancy in the past two thousand years.

I have experimented with and created more than 10 million undeads and even monsters that never existed in this world.

Because of which, I have earned his acknowledgment as well as the right to become his representative." spoke Ceril in a self-applauding voice.

"Since I didn't have a true soul and neither am I a natural birth of this world… the great lord Velsharoon granted me a Pseudo-Soul."

Kahn had his ears perked at the last exchange.

"Why?" he asked in a confused tone.

"Because something such as Blessings and Gifts from a Deity needs a binding force.

And it can only be done by binding them to one's soul." explained Ceril.

"And he said that once I became a being comparable to a Demi-God, my pseudo-soul will turn into a true soul as well.

And all the gifts such as Apostle of Necromancy will unlock new abilities and effects each time I evolve into a higher rank. Means my next evolution to Mythical rank will grant me even more powerful skills and abilities as well as increase the effects of my current abilities." said Ceril in a worshipping tone.

"I see. But I don't understand a few things…" spoke Kahn with a suspicious tone.

Although Kahn completely understood why a deity like Velsharoon gave Ceril a pseudo-soul since his Divine Abilities & Blessings he received also used his soul as a container and binding force… the gifts and ancient rank class Ceril received were too much.

"Why would a deity go that far? A pseudo-soul must take a lot of power to create even for a deity.

These gifts he gave you seem more like something done out of desperation." he hypothesized.

Ceril on the other end had his eyes wide open.

"You're indeed really smart, master!

It is exactly what you said. The truth is…

Those who came before me have long perished and the previous Apostle of Necromancy was actually killed by a summoned hero two thousand years ago.

And currently, Necromancy is forbidden in many empires of this world.

So Velsharoon has no temple or monasteries dedicated to him.

Unlike Gods… Deities who achieved their power after becoming a Demi-God first are dependent on the amount of worshipping and prayers dedicated to them.

Otherwise, they will cease to exist after a few thousand years.

Not just him, all the Deities are the same. That is why they can never compare to True Gods." revealed Ceril.

"Did he tell you that?" asked Kahn.

"Yes. And he also told me that there were two other reasons.

One of the reasons why he chose me is because I'm a being created of dark magic.

And the Deity himself was someone who once served and worshiped God of Darkness before he became a Demi-God and left the mortal world.

The second reason being that I am also the creation of yours… the Hero of Darkness." said Ceril in an excited tone.

"What?! How does he know? My arrival in this world is a secret!" Kahn suddenly exclaimed with a baffled expression on his face.

"Master… Velsharoon is actually one of the ancient followers of God of Darkness. And even now, he still serves under him.

Isn't God of Darkness the one who chose you as his Hero?" Ceril said.

Stunned!

Kahn was rooted on the spot.

This was a revelation he did not expect to hear so suddenly.

"Not only because I met the requirements..

But Velsharoon made me his Apostle in order to aid you. This was his own way to do it since Gods and Deities can't directly interfere in this world.

Just like how the War Deity gave you his blessings." spoke Ceril.

Dumbfounded!

Kahn was bewildered again.

"How much did this guy know? Do these guys have a chat group where they discuss such private matters?

And those fuckers told me to be secretive and not trust anyone while they're gossiping about these things like neighborhood aunties." spoke Kahn as he facepalmed himself.

"Fine then.. We will see how big a part these gifts will play for you." said Kahn and moved to the next issue.

----------------

Kahn then decided that it was time to take care of the most important matter at hand.

Ceril had made sure to keep the detached parts connected after he was done killing the opponent.

He then put both of his hands on Ashokvatika's corpse.

"Absorb!"

After spending full 6 hours, Kahn finished absorbing all the abilities and skills.

[Congratulations to the host for acquiring the following abilities and skills :

Kahn almost had a mini heart attack after receiving this information.

To him, it seemed like he was receiving too many OP abilities even before he became a saint.

Would an even stronger saint of one or two higher stages be able to fight him after all these power boosts?

Wasn't he becoming too powerful at this point?

Would he even struggle against anyone after becoming a saint?

But instead of wasting more time… Kahn suddenly summoned a figure out of his shadow.

A man donned in white robes who had brown hair, green eyes and archaic runes spread over his forehead and arms stepped out.

"What do you say? Suitable for you?" asked Kahn to this general.

"Yes… very much." spoke the general with zero fighting skills.

It was time for a huge rank-up for another one of Kahn's generals.

And this time… it was none other than the mad alchemist who tested his new poisons on himself in the name of research.

It was the Pathfinder and the Variant Leshen. Also known as…

Armin!
