I Have a Sailing Game

Chapter 501 - 296: Information on the Ascension Ritual, Kindling the Divine Fire (Double - )

[...]

[Heisatan has successfully condensed the Demigod Fire.]

Rustle...

Rogel felt a soft sound from deep within the soul of Heisatan’s Clone, like a flame igniting.

Indeed, it was so.

He could clearly sense, from within the depths of the Clone’s soul, that the Demigod tier’s constellation formed of Mystery and Fear Authority was ablaze with fierce purple-black flames.

This flame was not a tangible fire, but a manifestation of Demigod authority power!

The present Heisatan is no longer just an angelic creature that can only touch the authority.

With the strength of his Demigod Fire, he can grasp a certain degree of authority power, rather than mere contact!

That is truly the power of a Demigod!

"What’s this, a pseudo-Demigod?"

He felt the Demigod tier itself was being halved, and now Heisatan’s condition seemed to be halved once again...

Is this some sort of bargain deal...

Rogel couldn’t help but comment inwardly.

Jokes aside, Heisatan’s strength is undeniable, no doubt about it.

Although he doesn’t have the Demigod Tier, his mastery over authority power is similar to that of an ordinary Demigod.

Heisatan’s information panel naturally underwent changes.

[Heisatan]

[Type: Faith Spirit]

[Quality: Demigod]

[Level: 80]

[Tier: Angel]

[Authority Fire·Mystery and Fear]

[Skills: Mysterious Body, Dragged into the Abyss, Fear Extension, Dark Concealment, Ice Spike, Bloody Domain, Magma Blood Wings...]

[Talent: Metamorphosis, Blood Sucking Skin, Unknown Descent.]

[Explanation: The Dominator of the Black Tide, user of Mystery and Fear authority, believed by millions; his might is the guarantee of fairness, trade, and law, and his believers never doubt it. They believe the Black Tide will wash away all darkness; they don’t need light, they need — the Black Tide!]

"Nice evaluation, quite spirited."

Reading the explanation, Rogel stroked his chin and chuckled.

Though Heisatan’s tier hasn’t changed, his quality and authority have transformed.

Quality changed from Dominator to Demigod, and authority from "touching authority" to "authority fire."

Presumably, more changes will occur upon fully ascending to a Demigod.

Yet before Rogel could relish this moment, a notification popped up.

[You have been affected by authority power erosion.]

Rogel furrowed his brow.

Soon, he resolved this mini-game of authority erosion.

The difficulty of the mini-game increased, but it was to be expected, considering Heisatan is nearing the Demigod Tier, and the erosion is likely to intensify.

Rogel shifted his focus to the tasks ahead.

"Estimating the travel from this location will take a while."

"But the retaliation from Kizi Church shouldn’t be far off."

"If the Kizi God doesn’t descend personally, it’s a perfect chance to use them for the ritual."

"Before that, let’s settle things with Sharo and the others..."

...

Currently, Sharo is extremely busy each day.

With most major families and nobles of the Scott Region sent to the execution stage, the administrative and defense matters are entirely handled by the Black Tide Secret Society.

Most in the Secret Society were once young commoners, and it’s unrealistic to expect them to grasp such matters suddenly.

Even training suitable personnel would require substantial time.

Therefore, these tasks are mostly managed by former Defiers.

Fortunately, they mostly possess extraordinary physical qualities; otherwise, they might not cope.

Sharo has especially numerous matters to handle.

However, before dealing with today’s affairs, there’s a more important task for her.

For the Master of the Black Tide has summoned her again.

Upon being summoned, Sharo handed some matters to her assistant and soon revealed the Black Tide Mark.

Soon, she appeared again in the familiar dark abyss space.

"My Lord."

Seeing the massive figure shrouded in obscure Black Tide, Sharo bowed respectfully.

Whether it was her imagination or not, the Master of the Black Tide seemed stronger than last time, with an intimidating presence reaching unimaginable heights.

In this dark abyss space, she wasn’t alone.

Among them was the Grossye she was familiar with.

In addition, there was an elegant man she had never seen before.

But for some reason, Black Bone didn’t come.

Everyone also greeted the Master of the Black Tide.

After the greetings, Rogel quickly began introductions.

It was at this moment that Sharo learned Rogel’s real name.

After all, this name was just Rogel’s alias from when he concealed his identity, and now that Sharo was one of them, there was no need to hide it anymore.

However, she didn’t mind, and she was accustomed to calling him Grossye.

As for Cielgen, he had his suspicions about Rogel’s identity, thinking that Rogel’s relationship with the Master of the Black Tide might not be as simple as it appeared.

But he was smart and measured; since Rogel didn’t speak, he didn’t ask, as it wasn’t a big deal—the powerful force of the Master of the Black Tide couldn’t be faked.

That was what mattered most.

After Sharo and Cielgen got acquainted, Rogel turned his attention to Heisatan.

Once He opened his mouth, Sharo and Cielgen were surprised.

[In the upcoming period, I will be hidden within the Black Tide.]

His voice echoed all around, but it felt as if everyone was hearing it inside their minds.

Upon hearing this, Sharo furrowed her brows, instinctively worrying about the state of the Master of the Black Tide.

Could the Master of the Black Tide have encountered some trouble?

Cielgen also considered this possibility, but after a moment of contemplation, he glanced at Rogel, choosing not to speak.

Thankfully, the Master of the Black Tide’s next words dispelled their doubts.

[No need to worry, I shall ascend.]

Rogel did not hide this from them but directly disclosed the information, though the specific details were unnecessary to elaborate.

Upon hearing this, Sharo and Cielgen both felt relieved and offered their congratulations to the Master of the Black Tide.

Nonetheless, Rogel’s actual self made no movement and instead continued the Master’s words.

"Sharo, during this period you have led the Secret Society and made great contributions in capturing the Scott Region."

"The Black Tide will not shortchange those who have contributed, but we intend to consult you on the specific rewards."

Rogel stated.

Upon hearing this from Rogel,

The first to react was Cielgen, his gaze thoughtful.

Whereas Sharo, after listening carefully, shook her head: "Without the Master’s power, I fear it would have been difficult to capture the Scott Region; I am undeserving of rewards."

[No need for more words.]

[Just make your choice.]

The Master’s voice was tranquil, dismissing her refusal.

Upon hearing this, Sharo could only respond helplessly, feeling somewhat moved.

At this moment, Rogel spoke again: "The Master of the Black Tide can offer you two choices."

"Firstly, like me, become a Favored of my Lord; this will allow you to swiftly ascend to the next Tier and make better use of my Lord’s power."

"Secondly, do not become Favored, but my Lord will still grant you corresponding power, and how things unfold is entirely up to you."

"You should also be aware of the drawbacks involved."

At this point, Rogel paused, looking at the two.

"You can rest assured, this is not coercion; regardless of the path you choose, you can make fair and just ’transactions’ with my Lord in the future."

Having said this, Rogel quietly awaited Sharo’s response.

After listening to Rogel, an understanding flashed in Cielgen’s eyes.

Favored, as I suspected...

After listening to Rogel,

Sharo was silent for a moment, a trace of hesitation in her eyes.

Being a former Defier, she knew some rumors about Favored.

They are Attendants and Defenders of God, manifestations of His power.

Yet, this also means Favored cannot resist the will of the god they serve.

This is the drawback of becoming Favored.

The second choice is undoubtedly to become a free agent, forming a relationship akin to an employment contract with the Master of the Black Tide.

However, under such circumstances, the ability to harness the Black Tide’s power would naturally be weaker than that of Favored.

Nevertheless, what made Sharo hesitate was not the strength and weakness.

It was the worry of being a former Defier, fearing that the god she served might be outwardly grand but inwardly malevolent...

However, after taking a deep breath, she made her final decision.

"If the will of the Black Tide endures."

"Sharo desires to become a loyal Attendant of the Black Tide!"

She faced the Master of the Black Tide, half-kneeling, her voice firm.
