Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1122 - 640 No Eternal Enemies_3

Manson was less convinced of the effectiveness of their blockade than he was of the dark desires that lurked in the hearts of men, especially the zealous followers of the God of Conspiracy and Strife, who upon finding a fragment of the Magic Goddess’ Godhood, their first thought was never to report to their own deity, but rather to figure out a way to take it for themselves.

"It’s not just an issue of the believers reporting to Your Majesty, but the fact that this fragment of Godhood instantly absorbed so many souls, it’s likely it has now taken control over the Lady of Mist herself, leading to her resurrection through a borrowed shell. Your Majesty might sense her location through the connection between divine positions. If Your Majesty’s Incarnation comes looking personally, considering how close Dark Castle is from here, I’m afraid this could become impossible to explain," Simmon was quite opposed to concealing the whereabouts of the fragment of Magic Goddess’ Godhood from the God of Conspiracy Hesrick. After all, he saw only risks and no benefits in this matter. Even if they really managed to obtain this Godhood Fragment, did they truly intend to use it to achieve Divine Enthronement?

The Prince of Lies would not sit idle and allow others to share the glory of the Illusion and Magic divine positions with him. The moment someone achieves godhood, it would also be the moment he’d strike. The Magic Goddess in her prime was no match for the God of Conspiracy, let alone a believer who tries to attain godhood through a fragment. For him to obliterate them and take their Godhood would be a matter of moments.

A solemn look appeared in Manson’s eyes, "The main reason I came is that Your Majesty’s Incarnation was blown to pieces by the Lord of War, and even if aware of this fragment’s location, he won’t have an Incarnation to use for half a year."

Just like how Kallargos, the Plunderer, was reborn last year, it took the God of Conspiracy Hesrick, who just achieved godhood last year, an entire year to create a Divine Nature Incarnation. To this date, this Prince of Lies only has one such incarnation. And the same is true for the new Magic Goddess.

"It’s that serious?" Simmon’s expression revealed an unmistakable shock, both at the combat prowess of the Lord of War, Tampas, and the implications this incident had on them.

The Master of Conspiracies must have been pushed into a tight corner to sacrifice his own Divine Nature Incarnation, perhaps even to replace his true self. Despite having Strong Divine Power, not all gods are on equal footing; there are hierarchies even among them — those who focus on combat and those who do not, those who indulge in conspiracy and strife. As a new Strong Divine Power promoted just last year, it’s hardly wise to now challenge the authority of a veteran Strong Divine Power. Having said that, if Hesrick were that rational and sensible, he wouldn’t have been crowned with the name of madness.

And this had a significant impact on their Santarin Association, even influencing their infighting.

Due to the involvement of Bozor, the Chosen of Tyrant God Bane, the Santarin Association has always had a large number of Bane Followers, which at one point even affected their modus operandi. They implemented a dark tyrannical rule in the Moon Sea Region, earning Manson the moniker of Moon Sea Tyrant.

Although last year Hesrick consolidated the divine positions of the Dark Triad — Bar, Milkau, and Bane — into himself, due to the specialty and secrecy of the followers of God of Murder Bar and Lord of Death Milkau, Hesrick mainly accepted the followers of Tyrant God Bane, with the Santarin Association at the core.

People like Simmon, who originally disagreed with the philosophy of the Tyrant God, and some fence-sitters, unhesitatingly joined under Hesrick, forming the God of Conspiracy Faction within the Santarin Association. freёwebnoѵel.com

However, there was a group of Bane Followers, led by the steadfast Bozor, the Chosen of the Tyrant God, who firmly believed that the Tyrant God had not perished. This was evident from Hesrick’s divine positions — he only held the Strife Priesthood, with the rest, Hate, Fear, and Tyranny, missing. Notably, the latter, Tyranny, was the core divine position of the Black Monarch.

For faith and also for the sovereignty within the Santarin Association, the two factions fought bitterly. The merchandise lost in the Rocklands became a catalyst, igniting this conflict, leading to a serious internal struggle within Santiel Fortress.

Though those followers of the God of Conspiracy pridefully called this internecine conflict the ’Bane Massacre’.

But Simmon knew better; they hadn’t truly hurt the bones of the Bane Followers. The God of Conspiracy’s time as a deity was too short, and his foundation not solid enough. On the other hand, the followers of the Black Monarch, led by Bozor, had been operating within the Santarin Association for a long time, with deep roots. Often, even Manson, the Leader of the Santarin Association, had to act with Bozor’s reactions in mind. This was also why Manson supported him in controlling Dark Castle and supported the expansion of the God of Conspiracy Faction. He was not entirely subservient to the Prince of Lies — it was all a balancing act for him.

The Conspiracy Faction could repress the Tyranny Faction largely because Hesrick could continuously bring forth miracles, using his Divine Nature Incarnation at critical times — whereas the Tyrant God had disappeared, unable to respond even to the prayers of his followers, unable to lower Priest Divine Arts.

Now that the Conspiracy Faction’s trump card was restricted for an entire year, how could those resentful Bane Followers not seize the chance for a fierce comeback?

The only relief was that this strife was mainly concentrated in the Eastern Santarin Council, specifically Santiel Fortress and the surrounding Moon Sea Region, which had little impact on the distant Dark Castle. This place also harbored followers of the Dark Hand, but they have always been under his control. Although he was now a Reverent of the God of Conspiracy, he merely agreed with his mode of action and had no intention of throwing himself into the fervent whirlpool of Divine Right struggles, including clashing with his old nemesis Bozor.
