Chapter 2382: Good And Bad News.
He thought that Legion was his best option because he had guessed that Legion likely possessed an innate ability that was compatible with the path of killing.
He had confirmed this suspicion by up to half when he sensed through his flesh the high favorability that the other divine flesh of killing had towards Legion.
His hopes for Legion is so high he believes that Legion has the potential to become a godling. So he thought it was just a matter of time before he got what he wanted from Legion.
Even so, he would need to wait for a while more before he could get what he wanted from Legion. It was why he was very happy to hear about the sudden appearance of another angel of killing.
It was good news to him there was another angel of killing to pin his hopes on because he would have more than one option to get what he wanted and because he might not have to wait for long to have his wish fulfilled.
But after the good news came some bad news. What’s worse is that the bad news was very bad. It was so bad, it might have nullified the good news.
To be honest, he was not surprised that the church of justice had set out to kill the new angel of killing. As someone very experienced with the Church of Justice, their movement to eradicate the angel of kill is something that he should have expected to happen.
This won’t be the first time that the church of justice will be trying to kill angels of killing. And since he knows their motive, it would have been surprising if the church of justice didn’t try to kill that angel of killing.
He knew all of these, but he still killed that priest for bringing him the bad news. It can’t be said that the priest died for nothing because, in his defense, the fact that he expected something to happen doesn’t make it less unpleasant.
The church of justice is trying to cut off all of his options by killing angels of the pathway of killing. Now that it has come to this, he has to decide to go protect the angel of killing until they recover their power completely or just go and eat that angel of killing now before the church of justice gets to it.
It is a tough decision for him. He wants to eat a complete angel, not a half-baked one. So he doesn’t want to eat the angel of killing now. He certainly doesn’t want to risk exposing his traces for some half-baked food.
On the other hand, if he doesn’t eat the angel of killing now, he will either gain nothing or have to fight the church of justice in order to give the angel of killing time to grow.
The tough decision made him frustrated. He waved his hand and sent out blades of blood that flew through the air, went out of the temple, and beheaded the guards at the door of the temple.
Heads fell again, and blood began flowing to him again. When the blood from the beheaded guards reached him, it soothed his mind and made him less frustrated.
He had mostly calmed down, but he still cursed, "Damn that god of justice. It is one thing for him to kill my main body. But he also doesn’t want to give me a way out. He has gone too far."
The god of killing is dead, but only half dead. The corpse of the god of killing can still move. This is because there are still souls of the god of killing still alive.
The souls of the god of killing are maintaining a tenuous connection to the corpse of the god of killing. Even though they are far away from the corpse, the connection between them and the corpse is still present.
As long as the souls of the god of killing exist, the god of killing will never be completely dead. This means that the god of killing still has a chance to resurrect and return.
This man is one of the souls of the god of killing. He doesn’t think he is some wide effect of the awakening of divine flesh. He believes that he is the one and true god of killing.
So he wasn’t lying completely when he established the cult of blood and claimed to be the god of killing. The truth is that he is, at best, a half-god. If the true god of killing were alive, he would be a divine avatar.
On the one hand, he lied about his identity. On the other hand, even a half-god is worthy of worship.
On the other hand, he is not special. There isn’t just one of him in existence.
He is not the only soul that survived the demise of the main body. Actually, a lot of them survived that unfortunate experience, but the insane ones had gone on a rampage soon after and had been killed after the main body was killed.
It was because he was sane that he managed to hide himself and survive till today. But he is not satisfied with just surviving. He wants to revive and recover the power that made him the strongest god in existence.
His first and best option for revival is to recover his body. Once body and soul reunite, he will become more than a half-god.
He will still be incomplete with his body, but he will be stronger. Most importantly, he will be able to use his body to recover the other surviving souls and gain more power.
Even if he can’t do this, he can still use his body to find the authority of the pathway and regain his throne as the god of killing.
Once he recovers the authority of the pathway of killing, he will be able to resurrect and gain back most of his power as the god of killing.
