After a moment of daze, it was as though he had awakened from a great dream.
Shade sat upright in the seat of honor in the banquet hall. He rose in the dim banquet hall, now returned to normal. The bloody stench of the living sacrifices slaughtering one another had not dissipated with the departure of the evil god. But the Blood Mist had vanished, and even the body behind him was gone, as though that fleeting tenderness had been nothing more than a dying hallucination.
"Did you really appear?"
he asked blankly.
You have pushed open the door to the supernatural; the path of sublimation is now revealed. Outlander, you have discovered a special path of sublimation. You have obtained one drop of Divinity.
On the Destiny Ring slowly fading behind him, faint golden glimmers coiled around the brass band.
"What is it for?"
Shade gazed at the silent banquet hall. Moonlight streamed through the windows, falling at his feet and upon the mutilated corpses of the living sacrifices scattered across the floor.
Information has been obtained from the Divinity. At each advancement, use one drop of Divinity to wash over the Spirit Runes corresponding to the Words of Sublimation. When you advance to the Thirteenth Ring, if you have completed the washing of the twelve Spirit Runes corresponding to the three Words of Sublimation, then recite those Words of Sublimation that belong to you, and you will ascend to godhood.
It was clearly something unimaginable, yet Shade was surprisingly not overly excited.
"Can everyone do this?"
he asked in his heart.
No, you are special. Apart from you, no mortal soul can withstand the power of Divinity.
"Did you appear just now?"
``` The power of Divinity gave me a physical form
