Guidance, holiness, ascension!
Norton's memory didn't stop at the moment he was pierced by that white bone nail; it actually extended beyond that point.
As the bone nail pierced his body, he felt an irresistible force instantly suppress his flesh and blood, rendering him unable to move at all.
However, his perspective did not immediately plunge into darkness. Instead, it was as if he were flying freely, able to control his first-person viewpoint to fly and wander aimlessly across the Southern Continent.
If that were all there was to it, Norton would probably have been driven mad by this thousand years of solitude.
But as his consciousness soared higher and higher, golden steps descended before his eyes, seemingly guiding him to Ascension.
The golden staircase descends from the sky, and looking up, you can't see the end at all.
If Norton had simply been a missionary who, after dying of old age, had seen these golden stairs, he might have actually followed them up.
But he wasn't a missionary; he was also a wicked Vampire.
Norton knows better than anyone what he did; he can't get into Heaven based on his glorious past!
So when he saw the golden staircase, his first instinct was to turn and run away.
Then, a pulling force was born deep within his soul, constantly changing its methods, trying to yank his soul out of his body and into that true Heaven filled with endless holiness...
Norton recalled the immense force that had pulled at his soul, like pulling up a radish, trying to drag him into Heaven, and his eyes were filled with apprehension.
It's no wonder that Kuba had long feared God, nor that Jonah had sealed himself to the sun in order to block God's view; it's simply that God was too powerful, so powerful that there was almost no limit to his power!
Upon contact with that immense power, his soul almost crumbled instantly, thus plunging him into a truly bewildered state, half-awake and half-dreaming.
Fortunately, whether God was afraid of pulling him to death or destroying Garden of Eden, the force pulling at his soul remained within his tolerance range, like a person carefully squeezing an ant, afraid of crushing it to death.
And this ultimately gave Norton a way out.
A tall, slender, holy, and perfectly pale human figure stood atop the mountain, with pure white hair longer than his body cascading over his shoulders and trailing behind him onto the ground. He inhaled the Pope's blood, which he held in his hand, and his thoughts and consciousness returned to him as he savored the rich aroma of the blood. Various memories also slowly resurfaced with his thoughts.
The torrential rain suddenly stopped, and in no time, the clouds and fog dissipated, and the dazzling golden sunlight reappeared.
Feeling the warmth of the sunlight and the complete stabilization of his soul, Norton finally truly came back to life.
"Ah... Now, whoever has broken the seal, speak your wish!"
Norton savored the rich aroma of blood he hadn't tasted in who knows how many years, and his beautiful eyes narrowed.
Although he is unaware of the year, his current physical condition, and even the pull of the soul he encountered and the existence of God, he still sees things through to the end and continues to speak of his desire to grant the wish of the one who releases him from his seal. He is truly honest!
Unexpectedly, after thousands of years, Norton, who has broken free of his seal, is far more trustworthy than before!
There seemed to be no one speaking for a long time.
Norton casually tossed aside the corpse he had drained from his hand, then opened his eyes, looking with a hint of confusion at the scene below where people were kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with terror, and a large number of them were already fleeing. His exquisitely refined and perfect forehead, which had evolved over time, furrowed slightly.
"Hmm? Where is the one who released me from the seal...?"
Norton hadn't finished speaking when his eyes finally glanced at him as the corpse fell, then fell silent.
After a long while, he finally found an excuse for himself.
"The fault is not mine... So be it. As the Pope, you should believe in God. Although you have unfortunately died, your soul has already ascended to Heaven. You have died a worthy death and your wish has been fulfilled."
Thus, I have repaid your kindness in unblocking Norton...
Norton stared at the Pope's corpse on the ground, drained of his life force. His increasingly sharp mind, now revived, began to generate more and more reasons.
I don't care, I've already repaid your kindness, I don't owe you anything anymore!
Besides, it was your Church that sealed me away for so long. Now that you've unsealed me, it can only be said that you're making up for the mistakes you made, not that you're Norton me a favor!
Norton thought about it more and more and felt that his idea made sense. He had originally felt a little guilty towards the pope, whom he had never met before and who had been sucked to death by him as soon as they met. But now, he comforted himself and the guilt disappeared.
No wonder he once used Fourth-Generation Vampire as ship slaves.
Norton had already crossed this threshold. His pale, otherworldly body stood high atop the mountain peak, his pure white skin smooth and delicate, letting the golden sunlight shine upon his pale form, fully savoring the freedom and beauty of returning to Garden of Eden after a thousand years...
Although its divine body was completely naked, its pale skin lacked the appearance of nipples and genitalia. Everything within sight was pure white and smooth, exuding a sense of high life level.
" Kuba is dead, God is no more, and now in this Garden of Eden, only I, Norton, have ascended to Divine Stage. Nothing can restrain me, no species can threaten me... I, Norton, have ascended to godhood in this Garden of Eden!!!"
Norton spread his arms, letting the sunlight shine on his skin, and letting the crowd around him shine religious symbols and crosses at him defensively.
However, there were no burn marks on his pale body, nor did he show the slightest sense of oppression.
As he said, he, Norton, is now the true Vampire Progenitor, and also a true god in this Garden of Eden.
This world's Existence Level oppresses everything. When Kuba was alive, Kuba feared God's holiness, and a bone nail made from God's bones pierced his chest, nailing him to a cross to seal him away. Therefore, the sun and religious artifacts, which carry God's holiness, can inflict real harm on Vampire of the old era. Piercing Vampire's chest with a wooden stake and nailing him to a cross can seal him away, or even kill him.
This is the feedback from Existence Level, much like how, after Norton was imprisoned on the cross, the new generation of Vampire gradually went into hibernation. Everything about those of Existence Level will be reflected in those of Existence Level.
Norton's fear of God's holy light stemmed not primarily from Vampire ' fear of God's holiness, but from Kuba's fear of God's holiness.
Therefore, now that Kuba is dead, Norton's flesh and blood have become the only god-like being in Garden of Eden, and his soul is an outsider, not subject to the rules of this place. So he no longer fears God's holiness, which is why the sun shining on his body has no effect.
His god-like body was already like Kuba's; even those of Existence Level who held the bones of God could not insert them into Norton's flesh, and the only God oppressed him could not enter the Garden of Eden.
Therefore, Norton has truly and completely ascended to godhood, and has no weaknesses whatsoever!
"Wake up!"
Norton's Pressure enough to cover the entire Southern Continent Southern Continent, instantly enveloped it, Pressure down on those long-dormant old acquaintances. Then, with a wave of his hand, he finished the sentence.
"Bang... bang..."
The sound of cracking stones echoed from the bottom of the cave that sealed Norton, gradually growing louder and more numerous. The extraordinary creatures, dormant for millennia, awoke from their slumber along with Norton's resurgence...
"Hiss!!!"
The roar of Coal Ball echoed through the dark cave, followed by the sound of flapping wings, and then, one after another, enormous, black monster bodies soared into the sky from the cave ceiling behind Norton...
