Chapter Thirty: Radiant Nun

It is said that a person's memories are clearest during the period before death.

Unfortunately Clediana only remembers a vague shadow. As a newly born Radiant Nun, she doesn't care much about her past. Now, the Succubus's innate desire for control makes her crave more power. Pleasing her mother, the Succubus Queen Malignant, is her most important thing, because if she can't prove her worth, she will become her mother's plaything. The Succubus Queen is indiscriminate in her desires, both male and female, and she has an almost pathological pursuit of beauty.

Proving oneself can bring power, status, and freedom, because Malignant also regards Succubus as her own children. She loves Demon Succubus allows them to be willful and mischievous at times.

One passage records the following:

"The Succubus Queen Malignant's most beloved servants are naturally the Succubus. Since becoming Succubus Queen, Malignant has held a special affection for Succubus, and this affection has not changed even when some Succubus frequently defy her wishes. To Malignant's peculiar logic, these 'willful' Succubus are simply acting out of their nature. Only a very few Succubus, such as the Disgraced Lady residing in Sigil, have truly escaped the Succubus Queen's pampering. If there is anything in the Multiverse that can truly sadden Malignant, it is undoubtedly these lost children."

It's quite interesting.

Many of those Demon Lord appear terrifying, Evil, and chaotic in the eyes of mortals are actually great and revered figures within their own races!

For example, Yeenoghu, the Gnoll King, dedicated his life to the rise of the Gnoll and successfully established their kingdom in Gnoll the Abyss, freeing them from thousands of years of Slave. Another example is the Succubus Queen, Malignant, Succubus status in the Abyss has transformed from mere sex objects into a powerful ruling class, entirely thanks to her. Her favoritism towards the Succubus is arguably no less than the mercy other Deity show to their followers.

Without the rise of the Succubus Queen, Malignant, the Succubus would not have its current status in the Abyss!

A slight noise interrupted Clediana's thoughts.

A contemptuous smile appeared on her lips, and a Charm expression graced her alluring face. In an instant, she vanished from her spot, then lashed out with Thorn Whip studded with metal barbs.

Snap!

With a piercing scream, she pulled a Gnoll Stalker out of the shadows.

--"Mind Gaze!"

"Fascinating Beauty!"

As the daughter of the Succubus Queen Malignant, Clediana is born with the ability of [Profane Beauty], which permanently enhances her charm. Mind Gaze allows her to see into the hearts of enemies weaker than herself, and when combined with the [Fascinating Beauty] that Radiant Nun possesses, any enemy whose will cannot pass her charm Saving Throw check will fall directly into her control.

The Gnoll Stalker's expression was one of utter fascination, even as a cruel smile crept across Clediana's lips as she lashed out at it again with her Thorn Whip.

The enemy in front of us didn't move!

It was as if the long whip with metal barbs could only bring it immense pleasure as it lashed its body. It stood there without resistance, being whipped to death.

Having reached the level of the Radiant Nun, her Charm abilities can directly deceive the senses of her target.

Pain turns into pleasure.

Only when death approaches will all the accumulated pain erupt in an instant, and the Gnoll who died under her whip finally revealed a terrifying and ferocious expression on his face.

"They dared to send out such useless trash!"

With a flick of her wrist, Clediana's whip transformed into a belt that Constrict around her slender waist. As an advanced form of Greater Succubus [Sukar], the Radiant Nun possessed Legendary- level combat prowess from birth. Besides the various abilities inherent to Greater Succubus, the Radiant Nun was born a priest of class level 9 or higher. No one knew the origin of their Divine Magic; perhaps it came from the Succubus Queen, or perhaps from the power of the Abyss.

The powerful Radiant Nun can even stand against Demon Lord!

Because the Succubus Lord of the Abyss, [Red Shroud], is the daughter of the Succubus Queen, Malignant, in terms of potential, Radiant Nun is by no the Abyss much inferior to Greater Demon.

The Demon Lord favors pure souls.

Because pure souls allow them to directly extract power to create powerful Demon, these Demon may be born with Legendary strength, and their potential for growth is far superior to other Demon.

"Bring it on!"

Clediana stood on the blood-soaked ground. Beneath her feet lay a mass of corpses, her metal boots still stained with bits of flesh. Her seemingly exposed metal armor did nothing to diminish her protection. Gazing at the distant Gnoll plains, she murmured, "Let this be the first battle of my rise! I will prove to my mother that I am no less than my sisters!"

"I!"

"Clediana!"

"I will surely become a powerful Abyssal Lord!"

The black strait was deathly silent.

Soren waved for the fleet to stop there, then issued a summons.

A massive shadow gradually rose from the seabed, and the enormous body of the Mutated Killer Whale approached from afar. This time, Soren did not bring anyone else, because at this stage of his impending godhood, there was a high possibility that others would probe his lair. Therefore, he had to leave Goria and the others at the base camp to oversee things. Soren was now only half a step away from Deity, and even against False Deity, his chances of victory were quite high. This time, he could go to Treasure Island alone.

"You stay here!"

Soren slowly drew his Scimitar, Icetail, and then leaped onto the massive body of the Mutated Killer Whale. Standing on the Mutated Killer Whale's head, he gently stroked his pet's back before diving into the sea with the Mutated Killer Whale.

"Deep-Sea Lurker [Mutated Sea Monster] [Colossal Size] (Tier 5)."

"Challenge Rating 18, CR 24, possesses Spell-like Ability."

"Highest attribute: 35 points, lowest attribute: 15 points, total attribute value: 100-120 points."

"Special Feat: Tentacle Constriction, Multiattack, Colossal Size, Mutated Ocean Behemoth, Regenerate, Devouring."

"Challenge difficulty: A+."

Although there was no specific information about the giant Octopus Monster, Soren still remembered its general abilities.

The tentacles' Multiattack, their own Regeneration abilities, the terrifying Hit Points brought by their Colossal Size, and the ability to devour other species for further mutation and strengthening.

To deal with such a monster, any number below the Legendary level would die!

The Seawater trembled.

The Mutated Killer Whale, also Ocean Behemoth, quickly alerted the behemoth deep within the strait. Territorial conflicts among these Ocean Behemoth are extremely fierce, and the monster lurking here revealed itself without hesitation, ready to teach a lesson to any enemy who dared to trespass into its territory.

--"Shadow Hide!"

Soren's figure disappeared into the Seawater, Mutated Killer Whale let out a deep roar, charging directly at the giant tentacle that emerged from the darkness.

The Seawater was churning violently.

The clash between the two Ocean Behemoth created massive waves on the sea. Fortunately, the fleet did not approach, or it would have been completely capsized.

--"Shadow Jump!"

Soren swiftly slithered deeper Stealth the sea, his tracks completely concealed by the massive body of the Mutated Killer Whale. The giant Octopus Monster, preoccupied with how to defeat the other Ocean Behemoth before him, remained focused on the task at hand.

soon.

A huge lump of flesh appeared in Soren's sight.

The surrounding Seawater turned murky. One could vaguely see terrifying sharp teeth and fangs, and astonishing maws that could swallow a large ship whole. Although this monster was a little smaller than the ' Son of Dagon ' that Soren had seen, it was not far off in size.

Soren was searching for a fatal weakness.

The Mutated Killer Whale was Tentacle Constriction, and although it was now much stronger, it still couldn't gain the upper hand against such Colossal Size Sea Monster.

"This is it!"

Soren's figure suddenly leaped out, then traversed space and appeared above the head of the colossal Octopus Monster.

--"Greater Haste!"

In an instant!

Countless cold blades flashed, and Soren's figure, like a sharp sword, pierced directly into the Octopus Monster's massive head. Then, he smashed through muscles and bones, forcefully carving his way into the enemy's skull.

Thump!

One by one, the enormous tentacles drooped limply. Soren leaped out of the giant octopus's head.

He glanced coldly at the Ocean Behemoth before him and ordered the Mutated Killer Whale beside him, "Eat it all! Leave nothing behind!"

A spray of blood and flesh erupted.

The Mutated Killer Whale opened its massive jaws and began to devour the giant Octopus Monster, which was more than ten times its size. It would probably take a long time to eat it all.

Soren's figure flew towards the sea!

As someone on the verge of becoming a god, dealing with such mortals would be no challenge for him at all.

Perhaps many mortal beings believe that Deity are nothing more than that, that powerful Legendary Wizard can God of War, and even stand shoulder to shoulder with weak Deity.

But in reality, this is just wishful thinking on the part of ordinary people.

They often couldn't even defeat the Avatar of Deity, let alone the true form of Deity.

The only truly successful god-slaying was Karsus, the most powerful Arcanist of the Silver-Earth Era. Although he killed the first Goddess of Magic with a single Spell, he himself exploded due to the immense power he couldn't withstand, thus ending the glorious Thorium Age of Arcana. The second Goddess of Magic was resurrected in her daughter's body. Simply by killing a Greater Divinity Deity, he sacrificed the most powerful and talented Arcanist in history, as well as a glorious Arcane Magic civilization that also possessed Floating City.

The price was far too high!

Soren's dominion over mortals is taking shape. As his Divine Power further concentrates, fewer and fewer mortals will be able to threaten him, not even Legendary Wizard.

The endless river of time!

Civilizations have risen and fallen time and again, countless Legendary figures have risen and fallen, and the glorious Arcane Magic civilization is now reduced to a few Lich barely clinging to life, while the Gods remain high above.

Soren didn't know what had happened in history, but he knew that only Deity were qualified to participate in the upcoming contest!

The most chaotic era in the history of the Multiverse.

It is also the era most full of opportunities in history.

When the unprecedented chaos ends, the era of Order will arrive, and at that time, it will be difficult to find another opportunity to God of Death!

Soren returned to the Warship.

He glanced at the blood-soaked Seawater before him. Realizing it would take the Mutated Killer Whale a long time to devour this colossal Ocean Monster, he immediately ordered, "Continue!"

The Ocean Behemoth that had once trapped so many people was killed so easily by him.

unconsciously.

Soren now stands at a higher level than in his past peaks, when the Time of Troubles had long since ended and the Gods had returned to their kingdoms. He possessed many powerful Feat, but he had lost his chance, because at that time, the success rate of mortals challenging Quasi-Deity was almost zero.

As long as the power of the God's Realm can be used, even the weakest Deity can fight against a group of Legendary powerhouses.

Because behind Him is a kingdom!

Soren gazed at the vast ocean before him. He was now only one step away from godhood. Once he conquered Treasure Island, he could directly enter the Pantheon as True God! (To be continued~^~)
