Tigranov, who was curled up in a corner of the Holy Grail, enveloped in a holy white light, looked up at Zylo.
"Zylo, my friend, it's you. Long time no see! However, please do not disturb me from praying to the Lord!"
Zylo screamed, "Are you crazy?!"
Tigranov answered softly, "I am not crazy, I finally understand what the true meaning of faith is. I am very happy to meet you here."
"I'm not happy at all!" Zylo shouted back. He wanted to escape. However, the Holy Grail was indestructible. No matter how he tried, he was unable to destroy it.
A moment later, the Holy Grail shone brightly and a seemingly endless supply of Divine Power surged towards Zylo's soul. At the same time, melodious holy hymns echoed in the Holy Grail.
Zylo was even more terrified and shouted, "No! This is not what I want! Let me out!!"
However, only the souls trapped inside the Holy Grail could hear his voice. In the end, he was submerged in endless Holy Light.
…
Under Celestia's gaze, William braced himself and returned to the Great Aetherium's territory, however he didn't dare to enter Angel City. At this moment, his heart was shaken because he had personally witnessed the death of a late-stage High God, someone countless times stronger than him.
His desperate scream of unwillingness as his soul was captured reverberated in his mind, leaving a huge impact on him. He once again looked at Haru, no longer with the look of contempt that High Gods had for Intermediate Gods. Instead, he had a solemn expression on his face and was extremely polite.
"Your Majesty, if you want to sell Zylo's natal artifact, I would very much like to buy it."
"Please wait a moment!" Haru responded with a smile. He had a good attitude towards the Gods of Truth who could pay him plenty of Divine Crystals.
Hearing this, William had no choice but to wait quietly. After several hours passed, he suddenly sensed that Haru's Divine Aura had suddenly increased dozens of times.
The ripples of Divine power rose from the early-stage of Intermediate God Tier to the peak of Intermediate God Tier. He was only one step away from reaching the High God Tier.
"How is this possible?!" William was left shocked. He had never seen someone whose strength could rise so quickly. If he hadn't personally witnessed it himself, he wouldn't have believed it. If he hadn't clearly sensed that Haru's strength was really at the early-stage Intermediate God Tier, he would have suspected that he had been intentionally concealing his strength.
'As expected, the rumors are true. The Castle Lords can quickly increase their strength by killing enemies.' Just now, William could still sense Zylo's aura in Angel City but now, even that aura had completely disappeared which meant his true death.
"Zylo is dead." William took a deep breath, feeling an incomparable amount of fear. Even though their local forces could get some rewards for killing Castle Lords, their gains were definitely not this abnormal.
"If he kills one or two powerful Gods, wouldn't he directly reach the High God Tier?" William's heart trembled. Now, he finally understood why Haru's speed of advancement was so terrifying. He had killed too many enemies, including Gods like Urznar, Tigranov and Zylo.
"Compared to this 'abnormal' kingdom, the other Castle Lords are much more 'normal'. William felt that with the Great Aetherium's current development speed, if the local empires didn't make a move soon, it would be very difficult for them to suppress this rising kingdom in the future.
"Unfortunately, we Gods of Truth cannot interfere before these guys attack first because of the restrictions!" William couldn't understand why the World's Will weren't on their side in this 'war'.
In their opinion, compared to the native races of the Endless Continent, the Castle Lords were completely comparable to enemies like the Dimensional Demons. At this moment, the appearance of a figure interrupted William's imagination.
William discovered that the figure was the Angel who had suppressed Zylo in outer space with Eighteen dazzling Wings on her back and his eyes brightened because she had Zylo's natal artifact in his hands.
"I want this sword! No matter what the price is, I will buy it!" Actually, William liked Celestia's sword more, but he knew that if he revealed his thoughts, he might even die. Therefore, he had no choice but to choose Zylo's sword.
