Chapter 937: Dark Demon and the Twelve Gods (4k)
Yet, her daughter inherited her mother’s talent, possessing innate weather manipulation abilities and mastering an extremely rare weather magic.
Her profession is — [Weather Master], a special profession created for the purpose of driving away the [Cold Stream Ice Sea].
If Gavin North brings his son, Fred North, tomorrow, then the [Divine Blood] they possess might belong to either [God of War] Ares or [Messenger of the Gods] Hermes.
On the contrary, if Gavin North brings his daughter, Quintina North, tomorrow, then their target could very likely be [King of the Gods] Zeus!
Of course, based on Quintina North’s attribute inclination, it could also be [Messenger of the Gods] Hermes or [God of the Sea] Poseidon, or even any other god.
Due to insufficient information, it is temporarily impossible to confirm this.
After Professor Kazel wrote down this part, the situation map instantly became several times clearer.
Firstly, the divine power of [Messenger of the Gods] Hermes is the most likely point of contention.
Considering that the [Divine Blood] in Dark’s possession also belongs to Hermes, the implications become quite intriguing.
Then, [God of War] Ares is also a potential point of conflict. There is no “last” point!
If there are no unexpected events, the points of conflict will only be these two — although these two points of conflict can involve three factions, it is still better than involving all of them.
And furthermore…
After Dark sat down, he said, “The Elemental Race values the divine power of the [Hunter God] Artemis the most, the Church of the Saints values the divine power of the [Light God] Apollo the most, and the royal family remains unclear. But their disputes aren’t without the possibility of mediation. And if we’re lucky, perhaps there won’t be any conflict at all.”
“We cannot place our future on luck,” Professor Metia shook her head and said.
Professor Kazel said, “A future without conflict is the most advantageous for us.”
Then he turned and asked, “What about Aurora and Nyx?”
Dark said, “They are still with the Elemental Race. Aurora has much to say to High Priestess Belami. She said she’ll return before six in the morning.”
Professor Harvey suddenly interjected, “I hope they’re safe.”
Dark said, “High Priestess Belami is trustworthy.” Professor Shylph chimed in, “As long as it doesn’t involve fundamental issues, Moon Elves are quite friendly.”
Professor Kazel felt slightly reassured and continued explaining the situation for tomorrow. Likely because he had already covered the other arguments earlier, most of what he said next was related to the possible targets of those three factions.
But after listening for a while, Dark suddenly felt a hint of doubt. It wasn’t a particularly complex issue; in fact, he should have thought of it from the beginning.
However, the truth is that it wasn’t until now that he became aware: “Professor Kazel, can the Church, the Elemental Race, and the royal family really obtain divine powers from those gods? They’re all still alive!”
Professor Kazel narrowed his eyes in thought for a moment, then analyzed, “The consciousness of the Twelve Gods still exists, but it’s just our speculation. Perhaps they have some related information, such as the Twelve Gods falling into a slumber during a certain period or under certain conditions.”
Dark said, “At least, Hermes should be awake.” Professor Shylph suddenly added, “Even if the Twelve Gods’ consciousness still exists and they remain awake, their strength is certainly not what it once was. We might face incomplete gods, but they are not without the ability to fight.”
Professor Metia chimed in, “As always, the best is to avoid conflict. Once we find Principal Altair, we should leave [Heaven] as quickly as possible. As for the divine power of the gods, it’s not within our consideration. Let them fight however they wish.”
Professor Kazel said, “We need some preparations.” Professor Metia replied, “Then let’s continue.”
Discussion can only go so far.
And the future is unpredictable and hard to fathom.
The professors discussed until late at night, and finally, realizing there was nothing more to discuss, they announced the end of the meeting in a somewhat melancholy atmosphere.
Tomorrow’s matters will be known tomorrow.
No matter how much one worries today, it is of no use.
Dark returned to his room, bathed and changed under Olivia’s assistance, and confirmed the status of each of his mana cards, replenishing their mana. He checked his backpack, and then sat on the bed, practicing the [Technique of the Shadow God] for half an hour.
Under the influence of the [Technique of the Shadow God], his mind and body became thoroughly calm, and his energy quickly concentrated.
Half an hour later, he ended his meditation, slowly opened his eyes, sat quietly for a moment, and then lay down to sleep.
“How to sleep when you should sleep” is actually a profound subject.
Many people couldn’t fall asleep that night.
But Dark wasn’t affected to the point where he couldn’t sleep.
The last night before entering the Mountain of Gods passed smoothly without any disturbances.
At exactly five in the morning, Dark Diemon woke up due to his internal clock.
He gently moved Shenmi, who was nestled in his shoulder, and glanced at the flower elf still clinging to her, then quietly got out of bed.
The air at five in the morning was very fresh, probably due to Shenmi’s presence.
Dark walked out of the bedroom and found Olivia waiting outside. She slept later than him but always woke up earlier. “Good morning, Olivia.”
“Good morning, sir.”
Dark stifled a yawn and walked while speaking, “Did Aurora return?”
Olivia nodded, “She returned about half an hour ago, brought back by Dani herself.”
Dark said, “Then we need to thank them.”
Olivia replied, “That’s our duty.”
Dark: “Alright, alright.”
He spent some time washing up, then tidied his hair with Olivia’s help, returned to the bedroom, put on his outerwear, and confirmed again the state of his card pack and tool pack, lightening his load.
“Phew—”
After confirming everything, Dark took a deep breath, picked up the curled-up Shenmi, and officially left the room!
He went to the dining hall, and soon the hall gradually filled with people. Aurora arrived last, but judging by her condition, she didn’t seem to have stayed up late, so her sleep quality must have been good.
In contrast, Nyx, who clung to her clothes, looked like she hadn’t slept enough, yawning repeatedly.
[This four thousand words were written early, but I fell asleep and woke up seeing it was twelve, so I posted it first. I’ll write more after sleeping.]
[The bounty is open, and during the event, one moon ticket can be used as two! If you have fifty, it’s like casting a hundred! Wow!]
[Also, moon tickets from the lucky bag are only valid for the current month, after which they expire. Yes.]
[Knives and spicy sticks are also part of the bounty, so knives, you know, knives! Lucky bag or guaranteed knives!]
[I’ve just spat out ten pounds of blood, went to wash up, and now I’m sleepy.]
