NPC Divine Emissary: The Names of the Six Great Gods

Wearing black stockings, Zesshi Zetsumei's long, firm, and shapely legs moved forward. As she bent her knees, the stockings stretched, revealing a sliver of white skin.

A soft "click" sound.

The sound of ankle boots treading on the marble floor echoed softly in the corridor.

"Ah, an unexpectedly cautious personality." Zesshi Zetsumei's eyelids curved into a smile as she thought to herself:

"It's not the situation I was guessing."

She had originally thought that the other party would come to the Slane Theocracy this time to take control of the entire country through forceful means.

Even if we don't do that.

The ultimate goal was nothing more than to seize the Legacy of the Six Great Gods, but this method of infiltration contradicted her previous assumptions.

He was defeated.

The entire Theocracy no longer possesses the power to oppose it.

The only remaining means.

It seems only the "True Divine Artifact - Downfall of Castle and Country" remains, but the other party clearly knew this information in the previous conversation...

Over the past two days, Zesshi Zetsumei has given it considerable thought and concluded that even with full armament and the combined strength of the entire nation, the chances of victory remain terrifyingly low.

This conclusion was reached.

First, the opponent has limited intelligence, and there are many uncertainties.

Secondly, she had already used all her skills in the last battle, but her opponent had not used their full strength.

As the nation's strongest military force!

To surrender without hesitation is a humiliation for ordinary people, and the "Four Elements" probably cannot understand this decision to change from being "high and mighty".

but.

Zesshi Zetsumei believed that this was the right choice and a way to protect the Theocracy.

This young man possesses the power to destroy an entire Theocracy, yet he remains cautious and unwilling to reveal himself to a small group of weak humans.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the "rumor of future disasters" was not false.

The above--

It's simply choosing to surrender—a reassuring and positive explanation!

actual.

"Ha~"

Zesshi Zetsumei stared at the long corridor ahead, a sickly light flickering in his heterochromatic eyes.

That's an affirmation of one's own kind who is powerful!

It's like a wild beast in the forest being conquered by an even stronger beast, or like encountering a fellow traveler on a lonely journey.

Joy!

Satisfy!

"Almost there~" Zesshi Zetsumei's pink lips parted, and she spoke softly.

The sound was faint, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

Tang Zheng looked up, peering through the shadows towards the end of the corridor, which was gradually being illuminated by the "Everlasting Light" magic lamp.

There was a heavy, magical door there.

Fine magical patterns formed on the surface of the door, like pale blue, shimmering runes spreading and intertwining like roots.

This is the Sanctuary where the "Five Pillar Gods" weapons are kept, and it is also one of the Guardian usually guard this place with their Zesshi Zetsumei.

That's right!

The Guardian qualified to enter here and protect the "Six Great Gods' Legacy" are not only Zesshi Zetsumei.

Even God-kin Captain doesn't have that qualification!

But there's one person... no.

They should more accurately be called "the Undead," who also guard this place!

"I'm back~, Divine Emissary." Zesshi Zetsumei's gaze fell on the end of the corridor, a hint of tension unconsciously showing in his eyes.

It's a bit like sneaking a friend home, afraid of being discovered by your family.

Tang Zheng's gaze narrowed slightly as he peered through the shadows into the red figure, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

It's not even close to being taken seriously!

"Divine Emissary" is not a title, but rather the first follower of the former "God of Death" Surshana.

After the "God of Death" Surshana fought against the Eight Greed Kings and never returned, this "First Follower" was given the title of Divine Emissary and stayed in this building called the "Guild".

The other party's existence.

It is also a top secret within the Theocracy, similar to the existence of Zesshi Zetsumei.

This information was provided by someone Zesshi Zetsumei to deliver it.

"The Divine Emissary..."

As Tang Zheng watched the red figure gradually become clearer, he thought to himself, "I hope your reconnaissance methods are limited, otherwise a pointless battle is inevitable."

According to Zesshi Zetsumei, the strongest person in the Slane Theocracy is her, followed by the God-kin Captain, then the "Divine Emissary" in front of her, and the third Godkin.

"Minor Zesshi."

The red figure let out a hoarse groan, elegantly raising its head to look at the approaching Zesshi Zetsumei:

"... You've been behaving strangely lately."

"Oh, well, after staying in one place for too long, I just want to move around a bit."

Zesshi Zetsumei shrugged and responded with a grin.

During their conversation, Tang Zheng had already clearly seen the appearance of the red figure.

This is a rather small cat, its entire body wrapped in red cloth, making it look like a red Mummy Cat.

The Negative Energy emanating from him.

It clearly indicates that the other party is an Undead, but unlike the normal Undead, it has scarlet or empty eyes.

The red Mummy Cat's eyes were two completely black, dark gems that occasionally shimmered with a magical luster.

It's a special magic gem that's been inlaid!

"A cat? An NPC!"

The moment Tang Zheng saw the other party's unusual appearance, this thought instantly popped into his mind.

The cat's mummy-like appearance clearly indicates that it is not Undead created through normal means; at least, Tang Zheng has never seen this type before.

In the "YGGDRASIL" guild system, Player who create guilds will receive a certain number of data points.

In the game's nine world maps, each map has only one top-tier Guild Stronghold. Even the powerful "Great Tomb of Nazarick" isn't considered a top-tier guild.

The top guilds possess 3,000 data points, allowing guild members to create corresponding NPCs according to their preferences.

In the game.

The role of NPCs is actually limited. They cannot leave the guild freely like in the New World. The so-called points are more like a character customization game.

Therefore, even the "Great Tomb" wasn't entirely created as a level 100 NPC; instead, the characters were freely sculpted based on the preferences of the 41+ members.

This is how Guild Points should be used normally!

Guilds like the "Six Great Gods," whose Guild Stronghold are built by six Player, should be considered ordinary, and naturally, they would receive fewer data points.

"The NPCs left behind by the ' God of Death ' Surshana, no wonder they weren't taken to the battlefield with him."

Tang Zheng carefully sensed the aura of the red Mummy Cat and deduced that its level was roughly in the range of "45Lv~50Lv".

With such combat power, it wouldn't affect the battle against Player of the same level as Eight Greed Kings at all, so there's no need to bring it along.

A brief conversation.

The Red Mummy Cat gracefully lowered its head again, its head wrapped in red cloth gently rubbing against a ring on its front paw, its black gemstone eyes revealing an unyielding sadness.

The corridor is quiet again!

Zesshi Zetsumei knew the "Divine Emissary's" personality well, and seeing that the other party had not discovered Tang Zheng's presence, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't the powerful Tang Zheng that was the concern, but rather the "Divine Emissary."

In a sense, the "Divine Emissary" was her teacher, and for a long time, she was personally taught how to fight by him.

"I'm going in."

Zesshi Zetsumei raised his arm and waved it before walking toward the heavy magic door.

With a loud "bang".

The door opened.

A bright light shone out from inside, elongating the figure of Zesshi Zetsumei.

The Red Mummy Cat didn't respond at all; it simply lay quietly to one side of the door, enveloped in a faint Negative Energy and desolation.

It seemed to blend into the dark corner of the wall.

It wasn't much of a talker to begin with.

Even if Zesshi Zetsumei greet each other frequently, they will only respond briefly about once out of thousands of times.

"The Silent Guardian"

The word inexplicably flashed through Tang Zheng's mind, and his keen eyes noticed a red beaded ring on the foreleg of the red cat.

Inside the translucent red bead is the shape of a cat's paw.

"A magic ring?"

Tang Zheng could sense that the cat NPC valued the ring very much.

pity.

He didn't know much about the various items in "YGGDRASIL," so he couldn't make a value judgment about this magic ring.

Zesshi Zetsumei entered the temple containing the "Six Great Gods' Legacy," and his shadow followed him in.

Buzz--Thump!

The heavy magical gate closed again.

The corridor, illuminated by the "Everlasting Light" magic lamps, lost the presence of the living. One by one, the lamps went out, and the corridor returned to darkness.

now.

Inside the temple, large magic lamps hung from the ceiling, emitting a gentle, bright white light that illuminated every corner of the hall.

Wow~

The shadow beneath Zesshi Zetsumei's feet flickered slightly, and then a black figure flew out from the shadow and stood inside the hall.

"I'll be the only one coming in here; no one will notice."

Zesshi Zetsumei looked at Tang Zheng, who had appeared beside him, and let out a light laugh, stretching his arms as if to yawn.

Even "Divine Emissary" rarely enter this place on their own initiative.

Tang Zheng didn't care what Zesshi Zetsumei was saying at this moment; his pupils dilated slightly as he looked ahead.

Six pedestals carved with statues of gods are arranged in a straight line, and a bright magic lamp shines down from the top of each pedestal.

On the first five high platforms.

Magical equipment emanating subtle energy fluctuations was displayed, with various colored lights appearing on it, even overpowering the white light overhead.

The number of pieces of equipment on each platform varied, but each piece of magical equipment gave Tang Zheng an amazing feeling.

As for the last high platform, it was completely empty.

"These are the equipment of the Five Pillar Gods!"

"Each item transcends the comprehension of ordinary people, concealing immense power."

Zesshi Zetsumei crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaned slightly forward, and looked at Tang Zheng expectantly, like a small animal waiting to be praised.

"Isn't that amazing?"

Even someone with a personality like Zesshi Zetsumei feels a profound sense of pride in being able to personally guard this place and protect the Legacy of the Six Great Gods.

Was I "inviting a wolf into the house"?

Zesshi Zetsumei glanced at Tang Zheng, who wasn't showing the shock he'd expected, and felt a slight disappointment.

Tang Zheng stared at the dazzling light emanating from the numerous powerful magical artifacts before him, his eyes momentarily glazed over, and he sighed, "It's really a bit blinding."

Whoosh!

In a flash, Zesshi Zetsumei arrived beside the empty platform of "God of Death" Surshana.

Gently exert force with both legs.

Zesshi Zetsumei leaped up nimbly and sat on the edge of the platform, inserting the "Charon's Guidance" he was carrying on his shoulder into the central weapon slot.

"Feel free to ask me anything!"

Zesshi Zetsumei stretched out his arm, rested his elbow on his knee to support his chin, and looked at Tang Zheng with a smile:

"If even I don't know, then there's probably no one in the Slane Theocracy who can answer your question. However, in exchange..."

"I want to know how you evaded the ' Absolute Death ' that my trump card brings."

A white magical light overhead.

The light illuminating the Zesshi Zetsumei below did not reveal the "death light" that the woman in her previous life had described.

Her long, black and white hair gleamed, like two-colored halos, giving Zesshi Zetsumei a unique charm that was both sacred and insane.

"Yes, victory!"

Tang Zheng snapped out of his daze, smiled gently at Zesshi Zetsumei, and walked towards the first of the six high platforms as he spoke:

"First, I'd like to know the names of the Six Great Gods."

Upon hearing this!

Zesshi Zetsumei's smiling expression froze, and an unnatural stiffness appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something difficult to say.

In the religious beliefs of the Theocracy.

Believers are forbidden from using the "divine names" of the Six Great Gods, as this is considered blasphemy against the great deities, according to religious rules.

Throughout the entire Theocracy, the number of people who know the complete "divine names" of the Six Great Gods can be counted on one hand.

but.

Zesshi Zetsumei knew that the truth was not like that, and that the prohibition against spreading the "divine names" of the Six Great Gods was not because of blasphemy, but because of the names themselves.

Tang Zheng arrived at the first "Wind God" platform, gently touched the exceptionally conspicuous silver full-body armor, and calmly spoke:

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Okay~"

"The name of the ' God of Death ' is Surshana, and the name of the ' Light God ' is Ala Raf."

Zesshi Zetsumei said this, her pink lips parted slightly, she turned her head away gently, and her voice inexplicably dropped a notch:

"The name of the ' Wind God ' is Glorious Angel Cat Meow."

"The Earth God's name is Riku the Fish Thief Meow."

"Fire God Vulcan's name is Flas Nyan Sensation."

"The Water God's name is Miaodundun Miaowan."

The sounds of Zesshi Zetsumei grew fainter and fainter.

but.

For Tang Zheng, who possesses the [Dragonic Overlord] profession and has specialized perception abilities, even the softest voice can be heard clearly.

Tang Zheng's face showed a strange expression. It's not a big deal for Player to name themselves casually or in a chuunibyou way, but this kind of naming is...

"The Six Great Gods... do they really like cats that much?"

The first two names are fairly normal, but the rest... well, it's no wonder the Slane Theocracy hides the names of the Six Great Gods.

besides.

Following this naming style, are the seemingly normal names "God of Death" and "Light God" the Player' real names, or were they modified by the Slane Theocracy?
