Chapter 351
Ryan smirked and probed the stars with his Mental Power, forcibly extracting Sylvia's Mental Power by relying on the characteristics of the Misty Space.
He wouldn't have dared to do this before.
After all, Sylvia's strength had reached the limit below that of a god, and he simply couldn't defeat her.
But now...
Swish!
Sylvia, who was praying, sensed a change in her surroundings. She opened her eyes and looked around in astonishment.
A mist, a void of sky and earth, and an inexplicable force floating in the air.
"I... I succeeded?!"
Surprise, doubt, joy, and then an overwhelming surge of excitement.
She was summoned, summoned by the Creator!
Just then, a voice rang out from the mist.
"It was successful, but not entirely successful."
As soon as she finished speaking, the gray mist in front of Sylvia dissipated, revealing Ryan's figure.
Sylvia was taken aback. "It's you?"
Ryan shrugged. "Why can't it be me? Surprised? The Balshatt ritual, the legendary conversion of faith—congratulations, Sylvia, you're qualified to serve the Creator. But unfortunately, I'm not going to let you pass."
"Ha, what right do you have to say such things to me?" Sylvia scoffed. "Ryan, I have been summoned by the Creator and have received His approval. Even if you also possess this qualification, the decision is not in your hands."
Although seeing Ryan here surprised her, Sylvia wasn't worried, because she was already the chosen one.
She is the Supernatural Being closest to God. As long as she obtains authority, she can step onto the Divine Path. So what if Ryan has talent? Strength determines everything.
"No, no, no, I have the right to decide that," Ryan said with a smile. "If I don't allow it, you won't be able to see the Creator."
"Impossible! I don't believe it!"
"You can try if you don't believe me, but before that, think about why Witch K would willingly listen to me. In terms of seniority, she has followed the Creator since the last era. Shouldn't the Primal Church respect her?"
Sylvia fell silent.
If what Ryan said is true, then what she did in Port of Misi was tantamount to turning against Ryan.
Will Ryan still let her meet the Creator?
Sylvia glanced discreetly into the distance, and through the hazy mist, she sensed a colossal palace emerging from the fog.
Palace!
Her gaze sharpened, and she vanished from the spot in a flash.
However, Ryan simply reached out and grabbed at the void. Sylvia, who was halfway through her teleportation, felt the surrounding space being controlled by a savage force, like an unstoppable mountain collapsing!
Boom!~~
Sylvia was thrown out of stealth mode.
"How could you..."
She stared at Ryan in astonishment.
"How did you become so strong?" Ryan smiled slightly. "What do you think is the reason?"
Sylvia's pupils contracted.
"You have already..."
"That's right, I have ascended to godhood."
"!!!"
Sylvia was startled, feeling both excited and uneasy. Ryan had become a god, which meant that the Creator truly possessed the power to bestow Divine Authority, and the path she had chosen was correct!
But now that she's turned against Ryan, she won't be able to see the Creator at all unless he agrees!
After a moment of silence, Sylvia said with an uneasy look, "Ryan, I think there's been some misunderstanding between us."
"Hmm, what misunderstanding? Tell me?"
"Actually, I haven't betrayed our contract. I just don't want Rosalin to hinder the development of the Primal Church. I'll keep an eye on her alone, so you can continue doing what you want, right?"
Although the excuse was rather lame, Sylvia had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain it!
"Oh, I see."
Ryan suddenly wanted to laugh, but he knew exactly what kind of person Sylvia was, so he wasn't surprised.
"Well, that's a lot of work for you. But Sylvia, you won't be seeing the Creator this time. How about next time? Hmm, as agreed before, plus helping the Primal Church overcome all obstacles, starting today you'll be one of the Church's archbishops. What do you say?"
Sylvia hardened her fist.
Isn't this just another attempt to make her work like a slave?
Having worked for Gate of Janus for so many years, and now having to work for the Primal Church, Sylvia was furious and chose to agree to Ryan's conditions.
There was nothing she could do; Ryan had become a god, and she could clearly feel that attack from just now.
If you can't win, but you're unwilling to give up, what else can you do?
Fortunately, she has already been noticed by the Creator. As long as she develops the Primal Church well, one day she will be blessed by the Creator and become a god of the Rhea Continent.
"Very good, Sylvia, get to work. I want to unify the Southern Continent within a month... Oh, and call Rosalin in here."
Ryan waved.
Before Sylvia could react, the connection between the Misty Space and her was severed.
Swish!
The Babel Tower, a site of rituals.
As Sylvia's Mental Power returned to her body, the light of the ritual also dimmed.
Rosalin, who was waiting outside, was taken aback when she saw the ceremony suddenly end. She had clearly sensed that Sylvia seemed to have entered some kind of state.
"Did it work?" she asked.
Sylvia remained silent.
"It failed?"
Sylvia remained silent.
"Ryan wants you to come in."
Sylvia stepped out of the ritual formation and spoke after a while.
Rosalin paused for a moment.
Just then, the black mist surged, and the witch K appeared within the ritual site.
She instinctively wanted to persuade Rosalin, but then she sensed that the atmosphere seemed a little off.
Witch K glanced into the ritual array, then looked at Sylvia.
"You went in?"
Sylvia snorted coldly and remained silent.
Witch K laughed, "Failed?"
Rosalin asked, "You just said... Ryan? That Ryan?"
"Um."
"How could he..."
"You'll find out once you go in."
Sylvia was very irritable and didn't have the energy to explain anything.
Witch K realized what had happened; it seemed Ryan had done something. As expected of someone chosen by the Creator, he was able to directly interfere with the transformation ritual.
... Speaking of which, what exactly happened between Ryan and the God of Desire before his death? Why did he suddenly leave the City of Desire?
As a result, Aurelia kept asking her what was going on, but she had no idea what was happening.
But the God of Desire did indeed appear.
Witch K suddenly had a bold guess in her mind, but quickly shook her head, thinking it was unlikely; she must be out of her mind to think that way.
On the other side, Rosalin had already entered the ritual array and begun the transformation.
Although her talent was slightly better than that of Witch K, it wasn't enough to transform her, so Rosalin didn't expect to succeed; she just wanted to figure out what had happened.
Do you think she will succeed?
Rosalin didn't care, but Sylvia did.
She couldn't help but ask the witch K, "Her talent should be better than yours."
"In the last era, J failed," said witch K. "My success was due to other factors."
"J... Witch J? She's actually..."
Sylvia nodded without saying anything, but she felt a little better.
As long as she's not the only one who fails, the result isn't unacceptable.
As they were talking, the ritual formation suddenly unleashed a terrifying power.
Boom!
A massive beam of energy shot into the sky, piercing through the tower and soaring into the heavens!
Within the pillar of light, Rosalin's Magic Power was transforming at an extremely rapid pace; death faded, replaced by a purer, more terrifying power!
Sylvia was stunned. She turned to look at the witch K and found that although the latter was surprised, she was not unexpected.
Click~
Sylvia's clenched fist cracked.
As the energy dissipated, Rosalin opened her eyes during the ritual, a look of great joy on her face.
"I did it?!"
"Heh, congratulations," Sylvia said coldly.
Rosalin chuckled softly, "Thank you."
Sylvia: "..."
"Did you see the Creator?" the witch K asked.
"Hmm...but I couldn't speak to Him. However, I saw Ryan; he was standing beside the Creator. I felt...I felt..." Rosalin shook her head, looked at Witch K, and said firmly, "A new era has arrived. For the Creator, we cannot lose this time!"
"Yes... J, it's great to fight alongside you again."
"This is what I've been hoping for... Let's go, I've brought the elite of the Hand of Darkness. Within a month, the Southern Continent must be unified!"
Sylvia: "..."
Does nobody care about my feelings?
After leaving the Babel Tower, Rosalin officially joined the Primal Church.
However, instead of announcing it immediately, she led the forces of the Hand of Darkness to stir up trouble in the Southern Continent.
Although the Hand of Darkness outwardly worships the God of Death, Rosalin has actually cultivated its core leadership over the years, and they are all true believers in the Creator.
In this respect, K, who is also a witch, is completely incomparable.
Witch K wandered around for a thousand years, while Rosalin truly lay dormant for a thousand years.
When the Hand of Darkness launched its full-scale attack, the entire Southern Continent was instantly thrown into chaos.
Immediately afterwards, Sylvia also issued an order to lead the forces of Gate of Janus into the Southern Continent to annihilate all factions except for the Primal Church and the Hand of Darkness.
Although some 'good people' might be mistakenly killed in the process, Ryan couldn't care less, because he could feel that the Chaos Space's Power was uncontrollable the moment he ascended to godhood.
The Chaos Space constantly collided and rubbed against the real world, and the two spaces merged together at an extremely fast speed. This allowed the Chaos Demon to rush out from within and descend upon the human world almost without any hindrance!
Although chaotic rifts had appeared before and the existence of demons was already well-known, for most people, there were no such things as 'demons' in their living areas.
