Chapter 1238: Cost of Existence (3)
The moment Nelson mentioned ‘Blissful Everlife God’, Constant Viscount suddenly paused, which was quite unlike him, and Nelson noticed it; his eyes flickered with a hint of hope.
Constant Viscount-0009: “Did you just say Blissful Everlife God’s Faithful?”
Although Constant Viscount-0009’s voice was completely static, Nelson could tell the former seemed to be shocked, agitated, or something else; nonetheless, the latter knew he might have a chance to get out of this situation now.
Constant Baron-10,000: “Indeed, respected senior. A little while ago, an unknown faithful was able to track me down, so I had no choice but to abandon my posts, take asylum in quite a dangerous place, even though this place is only a temporary measure against that hateful fellow.
“I was going to report this to you, but I was too ashamed and decided to take care of it myself. But who could’ve thought that while I was preparing, he had spread the Faith of the Blissful Everlife God in the entire Legendary Plains, and that’s how I came to know about the Order of Everlife.
“However, one good thing came out of this disaster, in this dangerous place, I finally found the traces of the Cursed One, and by following the trails today, I managed to discover him.
“But it seemed that Faithful of the Blissful Everlife God had also concluded the same, and right now he’s coming here with all his followers. Moreover, the Cursed One is too powerful for me to handle as he just rendered a Divine Spell, a spell cast by the owner of this dangerous place I’m currently hiding.
“With this unknown existence who could use ‘Divine Descent’, and then cast Divine Spell, I’m pretty sure the origin of this unknown existence is rather extraordinary.
“On top of that, the Cursed One, who just overcame this exact existence that even that Faith of Blissful Everlife God couldn’t…not to mention, I’m less of a match for any one of them.
“But I’ve already completed the task of finding the Cursed One, as for capturing him, I’ll be seeking my own death. That’s why I was wondering if I could step aside or it’ll be a waste of my Lord’s resources and time that his exalted self has put into me.”
Constant Viscount-0009 remained silent for a while, making Nelson slightly nervous, as he couldn’t be more direct about his fear. At that moment, the former spoke again.
Constant Viscount-0009: “Do you know, the Blissful Everlife God is an arch enemy of us Constants?”
Nelson was startled when he heard this; he really had no idea, and he suddenly had a bad feeling as the Constant Viscount-0009 continued…
Constant Viscount-0009: “For as long as I could remember, the Blissful Everlife God has actively hunted down ATLAS’s ‘real’ members because ATLAS and the Blissful Everlife God pursue the same thing!”
Constant Baron-10,000: “I had no idea, respected senior. May I ask what this ‘ thing ‘ is that we have in common with the Blissful Everlife God?”
Constant Viscount-0009: “You are not qualified to know unless you become a Golden Viscount first. All you need to know is that the Blissful Everlife God and their followers possess a unique ability that helps them track down our Timeless Hourglasses.
“But you needn’t worry about Blissful Everlife God that much since they are cowards who won’t dare to face the true ‘Lords’ of ATLAS, and our ‘Lord’ is one of them.
“Right now, the Blissful Everlife God with their cowardly followers had been in hiding for a long time because one of the Lords from ATLAS’s only goal is to hunt them down.
“Nonetheless, we never thought the Blissful Everlife God would dare to spread its reaches to the middle galaxies, and even dared to go after the Cursed One. I guess that vile coward and our goal had again aligned, and like always, we won’t give them any chance to interfere with our noble purpose!”
‘No! This is not going according to my plan. Just what in the world is this numskull in on about?’ Nelson berated inwardly as everything was going sideways again, but he endured his urge to cuss out loud.
Constant Baron-10,000: “What do you mean by this, respected senior?”
Constant Viscount-0009: “Heh, why course I mean we are going to ruin the Blissful Everlife God’s plans starting with taking down the Order of Everlife in the Middle Plains for it is also the path you must take to acquire power befitting my Lord’s acolyte!”
Constant Baron-10,000: “Please forgive my dullness, but I still do not get what you mean by acquiring power through hunting the Order of Everlife followers?”
Constant Viscount-0009: “Naturally, you won’t understand because you have no idea what kind of opportunity the Blissful Everlife God and their followers represent for us Constants.
“Evidently, little junior, going after the Blissful Everlife God is indeed dangerous, but as long as a Constant could kill their followers and absorb the ‘Divine Influence’ of the Blissful Everlife God within them, especially within a Faithful rank follower, we Constant can refine our Timeless Hourglass at a terrifying pace and grow at an unimaginable speed!”
Nelson was startled, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes because he hadn’t expected there to be such a benefit for Constants just for hunting down the Blissful Everlife God’s followers.
But when he thought about what the Constant Viscount-0009 had told him about the powerful lords hunting the Blissful Everlife God and his followers, he began to vaguely guess why they were going to such trouble!
‘From this numbskull’s early statement, could it be just like the Constants can become powerful by hunting the followers of the Blissful Everlife God, the latter can do the same by consuming Constants!?
‘But doesn’t this mean if the Blissful Everlife God managed to consume a ‘Lord’, then they will have similar powers, and the same goes for the Lord who’ll consume the Blissful Everlife God!
‘However, it still won’t change the fact that there is another entity that can END a Constant’s near immortality. That swindler bastard, unkillable my foot!’ Nelson couldn’t help but resent his patron God even more as all the fantasies were crumbling down.
Moreover, Nelson had personally come into contact with the Myth of Reverend, and the latter didn’t try to consume him in order to become more powerful; it was also possible that he didn’t consume him because he was still useful.
But once he stopped being useful, the Myth of Reverend would consume him, and just thinking about it sent chills down Nelson’s spine, because it also meant Ellie and Lucy were in even more danger, since they were both Golden Constant right now!
