Valley

After Morpheus' white fog projection finished asking, he watched Link quietly, waiting for his reply .

Link's mind whirred crazily, trying to find a way to solve this . On the other hand, Morpheus waited a few seconds . When he didn't get a reply, he said, "Oh? You don't dare to answer?"

Eliard and Dylosen had stopped breathing, and they were ready to act . They didn't hope to defeat Morpheus; they only wanted to escape successfully .

But then Link suddenly yelled, "Those thieves said you're an unbeatable G.o.d . Is that right?"

"Can it be wrong?" Morpheus huffed . He was only a demi-G.o.d, but before mortals, he always called himself a G.o.d . He never interacted with mortals either to further maintain his mysteriousness .

"G.o.d, I beg you, let me become your believer . " Link prostrated himself on the ground .

This interruption got rid of Morpheus' anger . Link probably only wanted to save his life by becoming a believer, but no demi-G.o.d who wanted to become a G.o.d would drive away a potential believer . Morpheus was the same .

However, he wouldn't accept just anyone who said he wanted to convert . He had to learn about this person's past and personality… Of course, this wasn't important . The most important thing was where the other half of the Celestial Stone was .

"If you wish to become my believer, you must serve me and be completely loyal . Now tell me, how did the statue get halved?" Morpheus asked . His voice was much softer now . If he could get the other half, he could let these people live . Of course, they had to join his cult .

Link's thoughts whirred, and he thought of what to say . Pretending to recall his memory, he said, "Mighty G.o.d, this statue was very difficult to get . We risked our lives in the Grinth Forest near Ferde to get it . "

Morpheus was instantly interested . "Oh? Tell me in detail . "

He didn't test Link's soul to see if he was speaking the truth . It wasn't that he didn't want to; he was just a thief originally . He didn't know anything about Soul magic . After receiving the divine fragment, his power increased, and he grasped some of the knowledge for becoming a G.o.d . He still wasn't familiar with Soul magic though . If Link was his believer, he could use the belief to read Link's soul . Since he wasn't, he could only judge from Link's expression .

The man looked fidgety and extremely scared . His body was drenched in cold sweat . A regular merchant wouldn't dare to lie .

Morpheus was quite confident about that .

Link cursed inwardly . He didn't know anything . Beside him, Eliard and Dylosen were still sweating . They looked at Link, waiting for him to make something up . They hoped the story would be beautiful and Morpheus wouldn't be able to find flaws .

Of course, they were also busy during this time .

As a Level-14 Magician with a Level-19 divine gear, Dylosen took advantage of when Morpheus was distracted by Link and secretly searched for where Morpheus truly was .

This divine gear was the Snow Mountain Archmage's proudest work . It was called the Eye of Reality and operated secretly . If the other was also an Archmage, they would be able to discover it . Morpheus wasn't though . He was just someone who didn't know any Soul magic and just hit a fortune .

He didn't know what Dylosen was doing at all .

Link saw it, of course . Now, he had to make time for Dylosen . His mind spun and suddenly got an idea . "Mighty G.o.d, we are from Norton, and we live in the Grinth Forest . We were strong as children, so we learned some martial arts techniques—"

Morpheus cut him off with a wave . For some reason, he felt anxious and restless inside . This annoyed him . "Cut the nonsense and say how you found it!"

"Yes, yes, Mighty G.o.d!" Link wiped his sweat and swallowed heavily . Then he took some deep breaths, seeming to try to make himself calm down .

Morpheus couldn't do anything except wait patiently .

After many seconds, Link finally continued, "It's like this . Me, Liard and Dylo are good friends . We went hunting in the forest . You know, the Grinth Forest had a lot of battles . The farms are all destroyed and we don't have enough food, so we had to hunt to add to our food . "

"And then?!" Morpheus just wanted to strangle this wordy guy . It's been so long, and he just can't get what he wanted .

"And then we found a deer . I shot it and hit its hind leg . It was a bit off though . Not only did it not die, but it also ran too . It kept running, and we followed its b.l.o.o.d.y trail . I didn't think that lame fella could run so fast . It disappeared just like that . If it wasn't for the blood, we couldn't track it at all—"

"Cut the nonsense!" Morpheus' image waved his hand and Link immediately flew backward, rolling many times before stopping . If Morpheus hadn't restrained himself and used more strength, he would have exposed himself now .

As for why Morpheus was so nice was because Link had said he wanted to become a believer . Morpheus couldn't kill him .

After rolling to a stop, Link immediately started screaming like a dying pig, "Mighty G.o.d, mighty G.o.d! I'll tell you! Don't kill me!"

Morpheus huffed . "No more nonsense . I usually don't give second chances!"

Link subtly looked at Dylosen . Seeing that he was still focused, Link knew he hadn't found Morpheus . Link couldn't find him either .

In the game, he found Morpheus mostly thanks to the Ethereals . The Ethereal Warriors had mutinied and forced Morpheus into the Shadow Fortress . But here, because of Ferde's capturing, the Ethereals were almost extinct . Morpheus naturally didn't have pressure from them . As for where he was now, Link had no clue .

Seeing that Morpheus' patience was at the limit, Link spoke faster . "We still lost the deer in the end, but we happened to see a Warrior chasing a Magician deep in the woods . "

He was completely BS-ing . He only had one goal: drag things out .

"Warrior? Magician?" Morpheus' brows furrowed . "Tell me what they look like . If they could have the Celestial Stone, they must be powerful . The Warrior was probably a Legendary Warrior . The Magician must be a master too . "

Link recalled in detail . "The Warrior wore a gold and red robe . It looked weird . I can't explain it . He was so fast too, just like lightning . He just flashed by . We heard the Magician say, 'Here you go, all for you . ' And then he tossed something down, but the Warrior didn't want it . He cut it with his sword and then started chasing the Magician again . They disappeared so fast . We waited a long time before we dared to go look . After looking around, we found half of the statue, but couldn't find the other half . "

Eliard followed up . "The statue is so pretty . After we got it, we were scared the Warrior would look for trouble . We obviously couldn't stay in Grinth anymore . We wanted to sell it in the Southern black market . And then… and then we got captured and got brought here . "

Hearing this, Morpheus fell silent . If it was a Warrior with a gold and red battle robe and chased a Magician with a Celestial Stone all over the place… More importantly, he could cut the Celestial Stone with one move and make the cut so smooth . Just from that, he was sure the Warrior was at least Level-15 .

These three were honestly so lucky to get this half . But according to their description, the other half should be in the Grinth Forest . They were just too scared to find it . They probably didn't dare to spend too much time looking .

Thinking of this, Morpheus said, "Do you still remember where you found it?"

"Yes, yes," Link hurriedly replied . "We grew up in the Grinth Forest . We can find our way with our eyes closed . Liard, Dylo, right?"

"Oh, good . " Morpheus suddenly looked to Link . "You said that you want to convert?"

Link froze . Glancing at Dylosen from the corner of his eyes and seeing that the man was still silent, he panicked a bit . What was with Dylosen? Did he still not find Morpheus? It was getting serious . Though he was panicking inside, Link nodded hurriedly . "Yes, yes . Mighty G.o.d, it would be my biggest honor to become your believer . "

"Oh, then I will perform the ritual now…" Morpheus' image raised a hand . An emblem with dark light appeared in his palm . He was about to press it down onto Link's forehead .

Just then, Dylosen's hands twitched . The gesture meant that he'd found Morpheus .

Link's eyes flashed . This meant that the divine gear could be activated and they could act . Now, Morpheus' hand was about to land, but Link obviously wouldn't allow it . He suddenly raised a hand . A shred of moonlight flashed and dissipated the projection!

Link couldn't defeat Morpheus' true self, but this was just a projection . It was nothing .

As soon as the projection was gone, Dylosen acted .

Fiery-red light radiated from his left arm . It grew brighter, and half a second later, his entire arm flew off . It curled into a silver-red disc . This was the divine gear he'd brought: Chaotic Moon .

Chaotic Moon

Level-19 Legendary Pinnacle Divine Gear

Effect: It took the Snow Mountain Archmage three years to create . After activating, it will use the chaotic Void power and force the opponent to Level-5 . It can last from 10 seconds to one hour .

(Note: Knowledge is power!)

"Go!" Dylosen yelled . The air around them shook and rippled . The silver disc spun and whooshed, disappearing into the sky .

Half a second later, a roar boomed from around ten miles away . "Die! Everyone must die!"

The voice was aggressive and furious, but to Link's group, it sounded weak .

"The divine gear is activated!" Dylosen yelled . "We have ten seconds!"

Within ten seconds, they either get the Divine Fragment, or they die . It was time to risk their lives!
