Chapter 344 Advancement to Demigod
"Mother, what's wrong?"
The white-haired, black-eyed beauty who suddenly appeared in Helen's mirror, a stunningly beautiful woman with clear and delicate features, was none other than her mother, Christina.
However, her face was pale and bloodless, and her black gauze dress was torn, revealing large areas of her fair skin.
Christina, unlike her usual cheerful self, spoke with unusual resentment:
"My stronghold in Backlund has been exposed, and Prince Grove of the Augustus family and Archbishop Anthony of the Church of the Night have come knocking on my door!"
This matter is extremely serious. What kind of being is a witch? The starting sequence of the witch hierarchy is "assassin"!
For an assassin, the first priority is not to eliminate the target, but to be able to hide himself!
It's easy to imagine what will happen to an assassin who can't hide himself.
As a seasoned Sequence 3 assassin, to be approached without any warning reveals a problem that is more serious than being killed on the spot!
Helen clearly realized the seriousness of the problem and asked somewhat flusteredly:
"How did they find you? Do you have any clues?"
Christina shook her head. This was also what she feared most. She would not stay in Backlund until she could find the reason.
If someone comes knocking on your door once, they might come knocking on your door again.
If someone comes knocking on her door again, she won't be as lucky as she was this time, with another angel suddenly appearing and giving her a chance to escape!
Even though she escaped with her life, she was seriously injured and paid a heavy price, requiring at least six months to recover.
The reason she hasn't left Backlund yet is that she wants to give her daughter some instructions!
"I was lucky enough to escape the Augustus family's pursuit, but I was also seriously injured and could no longer stay in Backlund."
I have informed your grandmother about this, and she has agreed to my decision to leave.
The reason I haven't left yet is that I'm preparing to help you complete your promotion before I go.
"You summon Evan Horn right now, then kill him and complete your promotion in agony!"
The witches of the Gnostic Order are all true Black Widows; they devour their beloved partners as sustenance for their own advancement!
"Mother, this..."
Helen looked pained, clearly not wanting to do this, but under her mother's watchful gaze, she could only nod in agreement!
Helen took out a palm-sized mirror, which was her token for communicating with Evan, but no matter how she tried to communicate, Evan on the other side of the mirror did not react at all!
Christina frowned slightly, stepped out of the dressing mirror, and reached out her hand, saying:
"Give me the mirror, let me see what's going on!"
Helen obediently handed the mirror to her mother.
But just as Christina took the mirror, the palm-sized mirror suddenly emitted a huge suction force.
Christina, a demigod skilled in mirror magic, was sucked into the mirror without any resistance.
Her daughter, Helen, caught the falling mirror without the slightest surprise. She even turned around, raised her chin slightly, and said smugly to a shadowy spot in the furniture:
"See what I told you? I told you I could handle Mother, but you didn't believe me!"
Evan emerged from the shadows, embraced Helen, kissed her moist lips, and said affectionately:
"I really underestimated you this time. Your acting skills are becoming more and more superb."
As he spoke, Evan turned his gaze to the makeup mirror in Helen's hand.
Christina, reflected in the makeup mirror, found herself in a city completely different from the rest of the Northern Continent, suffering greatly.
And this city is the biggest cheat code that Evan has always relied on—the City of Calamity.
After Evan ascends to become a demigod, he will be able to further mobilize the power of the City of Calamity and control it to establish more passages to reality.
That's right, Evan has now advanced to become a demigod, and he did so at the same time, becoming both the "Iron-Blooded Knight" and the "Despair Witch"!
The ascension ceremony for the Iron Knights involves forming a team of at least thirty people, cultivating deep camaraderie among them, enabling them to grow stronger and develop perfect teamwork, understanding each other's intentions through glances and gestures, becoming almost one with one. The higher the team's strength and level of coordination, the more effective the ceremony.
Although the blasphemous tablet states that upgrading to "Iron Knight" requires a team of at least thirty people, as the master of the City of Calamity, Evan knows that if the team members have high ranks, the corresponding requirements can actually be lowered.
Therefore, Evan has been doing his best to help his protégés get promoted and actively pursuing Sharon and Marich to join him.
The addition of "Amon's" clone ensured that Evan's ascension ceremony would be foolproof.
Although this "Amon" clone only has the strength of a weak sequence 4, its rank is that of an angel.
His subordinates now include Miss Sharon (Sequence 5), Marich (Sequence 6), Isinger Stanton, Klein Moretti, Natasha, and Helen, and Hugh Deercha, Fors, Catherine Grey, and Darkwell (Sequence 7).
These people are all extraordinary world elites who are proficient in role-playing.
If we add Eben and the sealed artifacts he already possesses, this team is almost as powerful as the three major churches in Backlund, and could even contend with the Black Throne King and the Undying King, two pirate kings who do not possess "0" level sealed artifacts.
Ever since Evan learned of the potion formula for the "Iron Knight" of the Primal, he has been actively working to build his own elite team, and today he has finally succeeded.
So after defeating the Nightingale of Despair, Panatia, he directly used his previous knowledge to prepare the "Iron-Blooded Knight" potion and successfully completed his upgrade!
After defeating Panatia, Evan also "captured" her through the City of Calamity and obtained the potion recipe for the "Witch of Despair" from her.
To Evan's good fortune, Panadia had a collection of 10 milliliters of blood from each of the seven people who died from different plagues, which were needed to advance to the "Witch of Despair," saving Evan the time of collecting the materials again.
The bile of the Plague Mother and fragments of the Silver Hunter can be directly replaced with the blood of Panatia.
In other words, Evan can directly use Panadia's extraordinary properties to concoct the potion of the "Despair Witch".
Defeating Panatia to gather enough materials for the potion was one thing, but what made Evan even ecstatic was the universal ascension ceremony of the "Witch of Despair"!
The "Witch of Despair" Ascension Ritual: Engulfs over 30,000 people in a powerful plague; the more deaths, the more intense the despair and suffering.
The better the effect of the ceremony.
Evan's original intention in bringing the Witch Cult into the matter after accepting Backlund's debt settlement was simply to take the opportunity to create a smog storm and prepare for the digestion of potions after his future advancement.
Unexpectedly, things turned out quite well, and the ceremony was completed without any problems.
Who says that getting people involved in a plague has to be done personally? You can also get someone else involved!
Panatia's spread of the plague tonight was entirely due to Evan using Klein's actions as a pretext; in other words, she became a tool for Evan to spread the plague.
This is why she didn't feel the potion being digested much.
Furthermore, Evan also used the "War Fog" of the "War Bishop" to help the plague wolves she spread!
Those who died from the plague were more likely to have died at the hands of Evan than at hers.
Although there are no accurate official figures yet, Aiwen, with his keen sense of death as the owner of the City of Calamity, can roughly estimate that at least 50,000 people have died from the plague, far exceeding the requirements of the ascension ceremony!
This also led to Evan discovering, after taking the potion and successfully ascending to the 'Witch of Despair,' that for the first time in her history, the speed at which she could digest witch potions exceeded the speed at which she could digest hunter potions.
After successfully ascending to the demigod realm, Evan was once again able to draw upon the power of the City of Calamity to access a higher-level ability ahead of time!
The "Hunter" route allows you to access the "War Bishop's" abilities ahead of time.
Of the abilities of the "War Bishop," only two are most useful to Evan.
One is the core ability of the "War Bishop," "Fog of War," and the other is the team-oriented ability "Mind Link."
After a short period of deliberation, Evan chose "Mind Connection".
"Fog of War" can still be used through Amon's clone with its extraordinary ability, while "Mind Link" can be even more helpful to Evan's future plans!
It won't be long before Evan sets sail. At that time, his enemies will no longer be lone wolves, but extraordinary forces from all sides, especially the navy of the Fusak Empire, which possesses "Mind Link" and can allow Evan to maximize the power of the team.
As for the Witch's Path, Evan chose "Petrification" over "A Deeper Utilization of the Mirror World".
"Petrification" is extremely powerful and a formidable weapon. If Evan were merely a witch, she would choose "Petrification".
However, Evan is also a "Hunter" and has too many ways to kill enemies, so "petrification" can only be a secondary option for Evan!
Furthermore, Evan chose to make deeper use of the mirror world for another reason: to target Helen's mother, Christina.
Originally, Evan's plan did not include any arrangements for Christina, since no one knew whether she could escape from Prince Grove and Archbishop Anthony, who were prepared in advance.
However, after the surprising ascension of the Despair Witch, Evan's control over the City of Calamity was further strengthened, and he discovered that his ability to open "passages" had been greatly enhanced.
At this time, Evan received another message from Bernadette.
In the message, Bernadette told Evan that she had successfully killed Prince Grove according to her previous plan, and also mentioned that Christina had not died at Prince Grove's hands.
This news gave Evan, who had just successfully advanced to the 'Despair Witch' rank, an opportunity.
He quickly contacted the Speaker of Life, requesting that the Speaker use the mysterious and unpredictable River of Fate to inflict misfortune on Christina, so that she would think of her daughter, Helen, who was about to be promoted, as she left Backlund.
Evan then preemptively used his "deep control over the mirror world" to expand the makeup mirror in Helen's hand into a mirror maze. Finally, he used the power of the City of Calamity to open a passage in this mirror maze, and then he could wait for Christina to come to him.
There are two key points in the whole plan. One is to make Kristina unable to perceive the uniqueness of the makeup mirror.
The witch is the controller of the mirror world, and Evan is not confident that he can hide the "ageless witch's" control over the mirror world with just the "Witch of Despair".
Another question was how to trick Christina into touching Helen's makeup mirror herself.
The first problem is easy to solve: simply borrow the power of the City of Calamity and pre-emptively draw upon the "Immortal Witch's" control over the Mirror World.
The second problem is more difficult to solve. Every ageless witch is a monster who has lived for countless years, and deceiving them is no easy task.
In the end, Helen took the initiative to suggest that she would lie to Christina.
The witches of the Gnostic Society have a very good relationship with each other, and are relatively more humane. They can even act as anchors for each other. Therefore, Helen's success rate in deceiving Christina is much higher than that of Evan!
Evan knew that Helen's "spirit" was the prisoner who stitched together the city of calamity, but at this moment, "Helen" was mainly based on Helen's original consciousness, while she was a novice before.
The idea of asking her to deceive an "ageless witch" who gave birth to her and has lived for countless years seems absurd no matter how you look at it.
But Evan still couldn't think of a better way, so he decided to let Helen try, while he hid in the side, ready to kill her at any time.
To Evan's surprise, things went surprisingly smoothly, and Christina walked right into the trap.
"I suspect the Speaker of Life played a part in this; the misfortune he inflicted on Christina was the biggest factor determining the course of events!"
This level of misfortune is not something that the current life leader in the mother's womb could easily accomplish.
It is precisely because it is difficult to accomplish that its value becomes even more apparent once it is done.
"The bills of fate aren't so easy to pay, and I wonder where the Speaker of Life will put me in the future?"
Under normal circumstances, Evan would not want to owe the Speaker of Life, after all, how difficult it is to repay the debt of fate, as can be seen from the founding emperor of the Fusak Empire.
Because he had not paid off his debts, he missed several opportunities for promotion over a thousand years.
However, Evan wasn't particularly anxious about the debt.
The future world situation is turbulent, but the Chairman of the Life Council happens to be at his weakest point, so there will definitely be many places where he can use Evan.
