Chapter 2696 - 899: Kulkan’s Ecstatic Realization—Now No One Can Look Down on Anyone Anymore (Part 3)
It can instantly format itself and purify the filth in the extended region, that is, cleanse all the impurities within the Divine Kingdom centered around it. But activating this function also invalidates the authentication between the Giant Spirit and the Divinity.
In that case, reauthentication is needed to reclaim the Divinity.
We only learned this secret during Sulguk’s downfall. When he was polluted and dying, his Divinity activated the format, giving Sulguk a final desperate chance, enabling his remains to fall into the material world, later giving birth to Vam.
Although theoretically, as long as the new god reacts fast enough, secondary authentication can still be completed, you must understand, Murphy, the Sentinel Corps will not give us a second chance.
Once that self-formatting function is activated, the Sentinel Corps will immediately come to retrieve the Divinity, and you can’t say they’re cold-hearted. After all, the prerequisite for activating this function is the host being polluted by subspace, which also signifies our failure as the pioneers against the subspace.
Clean and swift death in such circumstances is a blessing, not torture."
"Well, I think I understand."
Murphy nodded and said:
"Thus, Helsun now polluting Su’s Divine Kingdom equals driving the God of the North Wind to a dead end. Once the pollution concentration in the Divine Kingdom reaches the standard for self-formatting, no matter how Su resists, he will be forced to be stripped of the Divinity, correct?"
"Correct!"
Kulkan’s voice grew more sorrowful as she sighed:
"In that situation, the Divine Kingdom will retreat into the void after self-purification, awaiting retrieval, but Su and his offspring, devoid of authentication, will be directly thrown out of the Divine Kingdom. Considering the encroaching situation of subspace shadow army now, Su and his invincible wolf pack will be overwhelmed by the subspace tides in an instant.
Even worse, Su could be transformed into a new subspace shadow...
This is Helsun’s plan!
Using your words, that dog caught a bug. I don’t know where she learned about the secret of new gods and artificial Divinity, but the current situation is she doesn’t even have to kill Su or harm him to send the God of the North Wind into a dead end.
But Su himself is to blame! He was too generous to the Nords back then.
The Divinity left by the creator can isolate most subspace shadow erosion. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to have Su’s predicament, only to blame him for daring to give away something as life-critical as his teeth!
It’s a part of him, naturally unable to resist his own power.
When the unreliable Nords lost the Holy Sword, it meant that it was destined to become a weapon used against him.
The Silver Wolf seized this fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Just from a cunning standpoint, I have to admit Helsun is more brilliant than Su. With the Holy Sword polluted by the Master of Hunting, it also meant that dog had a chance to hunt another Divine Spirit before awakening...
"Not exactly!"
Murphy was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said:
"Su still has another choice!
Even after losing the Divinity power granted by the creator, he can still reignite the Divine Fire through the Nord’s faith in him. Over the years, the Nord’s worship has already allowed him to accumulate enough to ascend to godhood...
Wait!
I get it!
This is why you, after becoming new gods, despite wielding great power, still strive to seize faith from the material world!
Not only because faith can strengthen you, making you more powerful in fighting subspace shadows, but also because in extreme situations like losing the powers bestowed by the creator, you still have self-preservation.
Faith, this is the fallback you prepared for yourselves!
Wow, I must admit, well done, you cunning fellows, you almost tricked me."
"Have you only just realized? Little Mo Fei, aren’t you a bit slow?"
Kulkan snorted and said:
"Now you understand why Gaia was so angry after the Brass Dwarves became unbelievers, right? Her carefully nurtured kin were snatched by the God of Wealth, forcing her to share her life-saving means with Dutna. In such a situation, who wouldn’t be angry?
Alright, since you know Su still has this measure, now is the time to start preparing for what comes next.
Helsun’s actions aren’t purely out of her hatred for Su; she has her own demands. Even though the Sentinel Corps will retrieve the Divinity after self-formatting, with the ongoing subspace war, the powerful Sentinel Corps cannot retrieve it at the fastest speed.
The Silver Wolf probably plans to seize the Divinity belonging to Su during this time. I don’t know how she intends to do it, but I suspect she has reached an agreement with some cunning subspace shadows, power for her, secrets left in the Divinity by the creator for the Chaos Shadow.
You have to stop her! The mysteries of the gods cannot fall into subspace hands; it would mean all new gods would fall into a crisis.
It’s best to kill that audacious Helsun in the material world, to completely extinguish her ambition."
"But I have a better way."
Murphy squinted his eyes and brainstormed with Kulkan:
"Su evidently needs help now. Although losing the artificial Divinity means Old Su Head can escape the border contract, the premise for rekindling the Divine Fire through mortals’ faith is he must safely return to the Star Realm. I don’t think the subspace shadows, eyeing him covetously, will give him this opportunity.
Old Su Head is driven to a dead end by his own daughter; now is the time when help is needed. If a strong and passionate god lends him a hand, I think Su would gratefully and eternally remember this grace."
"I’m not going!"
Kulkan promptly declined:
"My own mess at my doorstep isn’t sorted yet; leaving now means I might not return. When I was downcast before and begged Su for help, you haven’t seen how the proud wolf treated me coldly, not even allowing me inside.
Humph, I, the Sun God, have my temper too."
"But think the other way around."
Murphy said persuasively:
"You were scorned by all gods for being a deserter. Old Su Head’s situation now, although not voluntary, once he escapes the calamity and returns to the Star Realm, wouldn’t he be a factual deserter like you? This feeling of insult is terrible, but if there’s a fellow luckless one to share the pressure with, life would probably be much easier.
Moreover, Su is quite respected among the new gods. Having him stand with you, others would have to consider Su’s reputation before criticizing you. This way, your situation would be much better, wouldn’t it?
We need Su alive!
Such a righteous god as Old Su Head is rare these days. Plus, doesn’t helping him show the other gods your intent to return to the battlefield?
This way, when I plead for Ao on your behalf, it won’t be baseless, merely helping escort him. It’s not asking you to fight off those subspace shadows amidst hordes.
And you can let me owe you a favor, a favor from Alpha, which is extremely precious.
See, isn’t it worthwhile?
Go!
Bring Old Su Head back to the Star Realm...
No, I suddenly have a better idea, drop him in the material world! Let him... no, let it deal with its grievances with Helsun."
