Chapter 4 Excuses and Reasons

"I have to say, it's amazing talent."

Standing up from his seat, Eagle looked at the warrior in front of him with his naked eyes for the first time. His tone was serious but gentle: "I know that there are some existences in this world who have the ability of heaven. They have various special talents since they were born, such as manipulating elements and talking to animals, and being able to easily see through the direction of all energy flow."

The old pope was not strong in physical condition, and the feeling of aging after he stood up was clearer. But even so, anyone could feel the huge power in this thin body, which was as vast as the mountains and oceans.

Iger opened his left hand palm, lowered his eyes and looked at the holy light flowing in his palm, and then said lightly: "Whether it is the emperor of the empire, the East China Sea sage Faina, or even me, this kind of existence is there. As the literature says, you only need to give the 'Choose' an appropriate opportunity, and their strength will grow rapidly."

Speaking of this, the old man's tone turned into confusion and curiosity. He raised his head and looked at the warrior: "Jothia, I know your past. In the past twenty years, you have been unknown, but you just lived like an ordinary descendant of a noble. Even if you joined the army, you only rely on your family relationship to obtain a small position, and there is no special performance."

"The first twenty years of your life are as ordinary as the gravel on the beach, but two years after your father's death, it was as dazzling as a meteorite falling from the sky. I attribute it to you for the inheritance of the sages, but now it's a bit unsure."

"Then the Pope's Covenant, do you think I am also a chosen one?"

Although Joshua knew that his body was just an ordinary human bloodline that was pure and pure, he did not feel strange about Eagle's attitude. With his level of advancement, anyone would be shocked. Most people would only sigh at the talent of warriors, and those who know more will naturally find appropriate excuses and reasons for him.

Whether it is the inheritance of sages or the chosen ones, there are such "excuses and reasons", so that Joshua didn't need to say anything at all. Someone wrote all the explanations for his rapid progress in strength. Not many people in this world would have such great suspicion. They were more accustomed to attribute special things to their familiar cognitive categories.

But what does this have to do with divinity?

"That's right." Eagle did not hide his guess: "I think it's possible that after the death of the previous generation of Earl of Moldavia, you may awaken your talent as a chosen one and awaken your hidden abilities because of your intense emotions. It's not uncommon in history. What's important is what your talent is."

"Now it seems." The old man nodded, as if affirming his guess: "It may be 'plunder'."

"You will get whatever you defeat. As long as you win all the way, your strength will naturally advance to the talents that powerful demons often have in the abyss."

After hearing the word Demon of the Abyss, Joshua's expression moved slightly. He had no thoughts about the old pope's guess, but simply recalled the voice he heard in the Blood Moon Abyss.

After defeating Mandagar, there was a grand mystery that could not tell the sounds of men and women echoed in the warrior's mind. It wanted to keep Joshua in that plane and become its lord.

That should be the so-called "Abyss Will", which is similar to the "Steel Python" that Joshua had seen in the world of Karlis and Ilgna before. It is the incarnation of the will of a world. His active solicitation undoubtedly affirms the quality of the warriors. Now that Eagle said this, he began to doubt whether he really has talent in this area.

After all, the power of glory of a warrior is essentially collecting fragments of the loser's soul to enhance his power. It is indeed plundering.

Noting that Joshua's expression was slightly moved, Eagle shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Joshua, although it is a common ability among the demons of the abyss, in fact, humans with this talent are often robbed of power from the losers, which is the most normal thing."

"According to literature records, among the sages who created Dou Qi and breathing methods in ancient times, many of them held similar talents. It was precisely because they were able to plunder the vitality and magic of monsters that they laid the foundation for the human power system themselves."

When he said this, the old pope sat back in his position. He was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "To be honest, Joshua, no matter how your strength progresses, it will only make me feel happy. As a representative of the order side and the inheritor of the sages, even if you become a legend now, I will only send my sincere blessings, but..."

Eagle sighed, and he stared at Joshua's eyes with golden holy light flowing: "Fight, killing, destruction... Such a divine nature is too ominous, but you can make it shape, proving that it is extremely suitable for you, and with the talent of plunder, perhaps this is why your strength is so divine."

“It’s a bit.”

Apart from the part of the progress of strength, the old pope was indeed right. Even Joshua nodded in agreement. He himself thought that this kind of divinity was too excessive. Fighting was not bad, and it was in line with the nature of a warrior, but killing and destruction sounded completely a villain.

He was not bloody and was not keen on destroying things... His thinking stopped temporarily, and Joshua narrowed his eyes. He recalled the tens of thousands of monsters and chaotic creatures he killed, as well as the buildings and surfaces that he destroyed unconsciously.

Think about it carefully, it is not surprising that the warrior suddenly felt that he had this kind of divinity when he did in the past.

"You have experienced the endless source power behind divinity."

The old and clear voice of the old pope echoed in the hall. He sat on his sacred white seat, with a golden sunlight hanging in front of him. Eagle no longer stared at Joshua. He looked up at the vault of the Great Temple, which were painted with sculptures of the sky, sun, moon and stars. The ripples of the flowing sacred light made these reliefs come to life, and even a faint sound of holy chants.

"I can see clearly that because of anger, you stimulated the power of divineness. The great power from the most basic part of the world fills your body, making you easily kill the crystal magic dragon that was comparable to each other." Eagle's eyes were calm: "So you must also understand the power and limitations of this power."

"That's true." Now that happened, Joshua began to understand the purpose of the old pope asking him to come to the Great Temple on the top of the Holy Mountain. He responded in a deep voice: "The power is too great, like a rushing river, sweeping all tsunamis. Even if it is touched lightly, it may be involved and turned into an invisible splash of water."

"If I don't escape from it, I will be burned out by this force, and my soul will be lost in it, becoming a part of it."

"Yes, that's exactly that." Nodded seriously, Eagle said in a voice without hesitation: "'Divineness' is the purest concept in this world. Only truly pure people can obtain it by chance. Because of this, it is difficult to control and will swallow itself if you are not careful."

"Joshya, you are a warlike person. You will definitely fight against Chaos in the future and kill and destroy your enemies. If the enemy is too strong, you will definitely use the power of divinity without hesitation." The old pope suddenly laughed, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "In that case, you will destroy all selfish words, including yourself, if you accidentally say something selfish. The inheritance of sages has not been collected yet. I cannot let you die for such stupid reasons. It just so happens that the Church of the Seven Gods preserves all information about divinity, which tells a little about it. "
