As the sky gradually darkened at the bottom of the well of filth, Vincent, who was meditating, soon calmed down from his restlessness. His breathing was steady as if he was sleeping.
Vincent was finally able to hear the prayers of all the believers. He could tell their locations through their prayers, as well as what they were experiencing.
At first, the prayers that Vincent could hear were from some believers who were hiding deep in the mountains. They were praying to the Fire Elf King.
However, as Vincent’s degree of fusion with his divine spark gradually increased, he suddenly heard more and more voices praying to Vincent himself.
Some of these voices came from Devil Flame City, and some came from Serene Spring City. The environment that those believers were currently in was quite similar. It was filled with killing and despair.
Praying was their last hope!
“Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City are in danger. I must help them as soon as possible!”
Vincent suddenly woke up from his meditative state and stopped fusing with the divine spark. He realized that he was not only a god but also a living person. He was an ordinary person with feelings and had a heart full of reluctance to part!
If Vincent only cared about fusing with the divine spark, then it was very likely that he would lose his humanity and become a true God. He would ignore the death of any living creature. He would not care about the situation of his believers, because all gods were originally heartless!
However, Vincent had found his humanity again because of the concern in his heart. This allowed him to inherit the divine spark while maintaining his own will. This way, he could put his own thoughts above the divine spark, and not become a heartless and numb god. He was a person who could control the cold divine spark.
“Boom!”
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the bottom of the well, and Vincent’s entire body emitted a fiery red light. At the same time, his realm directly rose from level 40 to level 45.
This was an inevitable benefit after inheriting the divine spark. At that moment, Vincent had become a true God. Moreover, as Vincent had grasped the divine spark of fire, his Flaming Sun Divine Body had also broken through to the sixth level!
The Light Elf King looked at Vincent who stood up and sighed with relief, “Great, you’ve done it! There’s hope for the Elf Race!”
Vincent wanted to rush out of the well and head over to Serene Spring City. However, he knew that the Elf Kings in front of him had already reached the final moments of their lives. He had to stay behind and help them properly dispose of their divine sparks.
Vincent walked forward with a solemn expression and asked in a deep voice, “Fellow Elf Kings, now that I have inherited the Fire Elf King’s divine spark, what should I do with the divine sparks in your bodies?”
The Light Elf King said indifferently, “Actually, it’s very simple. We can store the divine sparks in your body temporarily. After all, our believers do not truly believe in us as gods. As long as the divine sparks reside in your body temporarily, then the believers will still be able to obtain the powers through faith! However, you will not be able to obtain a second divine spark. Moreover, the divine sparks that are stored in your body will not be able to increase your level. I only hope that after this matter is over, you can find a suitable candidate to inherit our divine sparks so that the inheritance of the Elf Race can continue!”
Vincent immediately sighed with a face full of surprise, “What? Do you want to hand over all the divine sparks to me? How is that possible?”
“Why not? Now that you are a true God of the Elf Race, you have enough control over all the divine sparks. Just treat it as returning the divine sparks to the Elf Race for us!”
The Light Elf King responded to Vincent with a determined look. He sounded like he was pleading Vincent to help them complete their final wishes.
Vincent took a deep breath and said to the Elf Kings solemnly, “Come! I will definitely choose the most suitable successor according to your requirements, and I will definitely let the Elf Race continue to pass on their legacy!”
“Thank you!” replied the Elf Kings in unison. They then injected their divine sparks into Vincent’s glabella.
Vincent was almost knocked unconscious by the massive number of prayers. Fortunately, he had already fused with the divine spark of fire, thus allowing him to quickly adapt to his current state.
However, when he regained his consciousness, all the Elf Kings had already fallen and died. Nevertheless, they all had smiles on their faces. It could be observed that they no longer had any regrets.
“I know that for thousands of years, you have always felt guilty toward the entire Elf Race. I hereby promise you that I will definitely restore the Elf Race to its former glory!”
After saying that, Vincent instantly activated his fire spiritualization state. Twelve Flaming Wings instantly spread out from behind his back. As he flapped his wings, surging flames instantly filled the entire bottom of the well.
The fifth layer of the Flaming Sun Divine Body allowed Vincent to have a stronger recovery ability under the fire spiritualization state.
The sixth layer of the Flaming Sun Divine Body gave Vincent the power of his divine body.
Therefore, when he activated the Flaming Sun Divine Body, his every move could trigger the divine power of fire. If he did not control it, he could send out powerful attacks to his surroundings. At the same time, he could use his mind to control the divine power. He could condense it and kill others without them knowing. However, the prerequisite was that the opponent had to be on par with him.
“Rumble!”
The well of filth began to collapse under the impact of the flames and soon buried the bodies of the six Elf Kings.
Vincent flapped his wings and flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he flew out of the well and circled above Imperial City.
Vincent hovered high in the sky and roared loudly, “Elf Race, begin to resist!”
At the same time, he began to respond to the prayers of all his believers as a true God.
…
Devil Flame City.
Dave looked at Ebenezer, who was on the battlefield below the city walls. He was kneeling on the ground weakly. He wanted to stand up but had failed several times in a row. Dave felt anxious and wanted to rush down the city walls again.
However, Ebenezer’s last exhortation kept ringing in his ears. He did not dare to forget his real responsibility, which was to protect Devil Flame City. However, Dave could not find a way out.
Catherine held onto Dave’s arm with tears in her eyes and asked softly, “Is there no hope for us now?”
Dave clenched his teeth and did not say anything because he did not believe that the elves would lose hope so quickly. However, he could not find any hope at that moment.
At the same time, Monica, who was standing not far away from the two of them, suddenly had a flame appear on her face.
The sudden appearance of the flame instantly gave Catherine and Dave a fright.
Catherine asked with a worried look, “Monica, what’s wrong?”
At that moment, Monica was still praying calmly with her eyes closed. It was as if she did not feel the flame on her body at all.
After seeing this, Dave quickly raised his hand to signal Catherine not to disturb Monica. He walked forward with an excited expression and looked at the flames on Monica’s body up close.
Monica’s entire body was covered in flames. Her skin and body gradually became transparent under the flames. They were like flowing magma.
Following that, the impurities in the magma were burned away continuously, leaving behind an illusory flaming figure.
After seeing this, Dave said excitedly, “This, this is Vincent’s fire spiritualization. Monica has succeeded!”
At the same time, the pale skin of the clergies behind Monica instantly turned dark red. Balls of pitch-black demonic aura evaporated from their heads, proving that they had successfully changed their beliefs. They had become Fire Elves, but they did not have Monica’s fire spiritualization ability.
After seeing the scene, Dave suddenly laughed loudly. He knew that this was because Monica’s relationship with Vincent was the closest, so she had received the most gifts from Vincent. She was continuously inheriting the power of fire and had also inherited some of Vincent’s unique methods.
As for the other believers, they could obtain the power of fire and part of the flame law from Vincent!
“There’s hope! There’s hope for Devil Flame City! There’s hope for the Elf Race!” shouted Dave with excitement.
He then ran to the other side of the city wall on the city tower. He looked at the troops gathered in the city and shouted loudly, “Everyone, immediately pray to Vincent! Change your beliefs!”
After Monica’s persistent preaching, all the residents and troops in Devil Flame City had become Vincent’s believers. After hearing Dave’s order, the 100,000 troops did not hesitate at all. They all began to pray to Vincent devoutly, asking the gods to allow them to change their beliefs.
…
On the battlefield outside the city, Ebenezer saw the elves around him fall one after another. He no longer had the strength to open the space door to save the injured elves. Furthermore, he was about to die under the blades!
Even though his broken arms were slowly recovering, he did not even have the strength to stand up. How could he fight back?
At that moment, the gate of Devil Flame City opened with a loud bang. A wave of orderly and heavy footsteps spread across the entire battlefield.
Ebenezer turned his head in shock. He saw Dave taking the lead to jump off the city wall. He was leading the army of Devil Flame City toward the battlefield.
Ebenezer really wanted to yell at Dave because he knew that the army of Devil Flame City could not fight against the apostles. However, when he finally gathered the strength to speak, he suddenly saw that the soldiers behind Dave were not Dark Elves. Instead, they were all Fire Elves!
“Soldiers of Devil Flame City, listen up! Follow me to kill all the Demon Race’s lackeys and save our comrades! They have gone through more than ten fierce battles for Devil Flame City. It’s our turn now!”
Dave, who had transformed into a Black Elf was commanding loudly. He led the army that was at their peak condition to charge into the battlefield. They protected Ebenezer and the other elves. At the same time, they also launched a counterattack at the Dark Elf armies led by the four apostles.
The army of Devil Flame City had always been well-trained. They were the best of the best in the entire Elf World. At that moment, when facing the Dark Elf army that had been attacking them for a day, they instantly took the initiative to charge toward the enemy’s base camp!
