Chapter 636 The Mysterious Corpse
Odin was essentially a deceiver, claiming he would gather the Ultimate Force Alliance's strongest forces to help Forseti seize the power of the sacred halo, only to bring him to a place where the power of the sacred halo might exist.
Whether Forseti could actually obtain it was left to his own abilities.
As for the strand of divine flame Forseti won, Odin kept his promise and gave it to him.
"The rest is up to you." Odin now seemed uninterested in the power of the sacred halo because the major powers, including himself, had agreed that high-ranking gods should no longer vie for it.
This agreement also included Hades, who had already benefited greatly from obtaining two top-tier divine artifacts. Naturally, there was no need for him to contest for anything else!
Obtaining the power of the sacred halo, in reality, is more about gaining the recognition of a Cosmic Entity, which also subjects one to various restrictions by the Cosmic Entity.
Odin was well aware that as the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, he maintained his position through sheer power. Although Odin's strength was slightly inferior to Zeus's, the three top-tier divine artifacts he possessed more than compensated for it.
The power of the sacred halo, even if placed before Odin, is something he would absolutely not absorb!
At Odin's level, one would have to be insane to consider absorbing it!
Although Hades was not entirely clear about what the power of the sacred halo amounted to, he knew that he had already received special attention from William the Obliterator. There was no need to compete for anything else.
After Odin gave his instructions, he directly traversed space and left the area.
Forseti glanced at William, blinked, and was unsure if he should speak.
He also didn't dare to call out "William," fearing Odin would hear him.
William straightforwardly said, "Say whatever you want; Odin can't hear us."
He doesn't want anyone to perceive his every move, not even a Cosmic Entity could discern it, let alone Odin, the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance.
It's simply impossible!
Forseti exhaled deeply, only heaven knew the turmoil he had gone through in just that short moment.
Betting with Odin, even aiming for his top-tier divine artifact, Gungnir...
Facing Odin's interrogation, he lies without even blinking.
Despite disliking Odin, there's still a tremendous amount of pressure to endure!
"Lord William, what do we do next?" Forseti now refrained from recklessly deploying his divine consciousness, following William's lead in everything.
The five strands of sacred halo power, after his modifications, couldn't be traced even by a Cosmic Entity. Now, it seemed, someone destined had stumbled upon them.
"If you want it, you should strive for it yourself; don't ask me about everything." William was also curious to know if someone absorbing the sacred halo power he modified would establish any connection with him...
Forseti nodded, looking towards a place thousands of miles away, murmuring, "The battle has already started!"
Where his gaze fell, the sky and earth were shattered, various spells and magical artifacts flying chaotically.
Clearly, the fight over the power of the sacred halo had begun.
"Whether you want to go or not is up to you; I'm just a spectator and definitely won't make a move!" William said this.
"Of course, we're going!" Forseti was thrilled. Wasn't this chance at the sacred halo what he was waiting for to possibly become the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance someday?
Having come this far, how could he back down?
"Let's sneak over first and see the state of their battle." After saying this, Forseti cast a spell named "Shadowmeld" for invisibility and disappeared into the darkness.
William glanced at Forseti, thinking he would brazenly charge in and declare, "The heir of the Heart of Asgard is here, everyone back off, the sacred halo is mine!"
Turns out he knew to sneak over stealthily...
Not so foolish after all!
William decided to conceal Sophia and Lucien as well.
Forseti's art of concealment was not on the same level as William's, but they both slowly made their way towards the direction of the battle.
Suddenly, Forseti realized William had disappeared!!!
Indeed, he was now the only one in their company.
"Lord William! Are you there?" Forseti called out softly.
William and Lucien were actually standing right beside Forseti, but it was as if they were in two different worlds, with Forseti completely unable to detect their presence.
Without receiving any response and without much concern, Forseti stealthily moved to the edge of the battle.
Unaware until he saw for himself, Forseti was startled by the sight.
At the center of the battle, a monster covered in blood-red fur was single-handedly resisting the attacks of dozens of official deities from the Divine Alliance.
Leading the Divine Alliance deities was the god of war, Ares, who unleashed his full arsenal of attacks on the monster.
But the monster curled up into a ball, its red fur acting as a robust barrier that blocked all attacks. Meanwhile, a golden mist formed a halo above the monster's head.
"Is that halo above the monster's head the sacred halo?" Forseti swallowed hard. What exactly was this creature?
With Ares and the others from the Divine Alliance being so powerful yet unable to breach the monster's defenses, what level of a powerhouse was this creature?
William quietly observed from the sidelines. The monster was actually a corpse, Prometheus!!
The five strands of the sacred halo's power were initially scattered by William at random, to be claimed by whoever found them. Surprisingly, the first one encountered turned out to be a jackpot.
Once, Prometheus stole fire to give to humanity, angering Zeus in the process.
Zeus had him bound to a mountain peak, where an eagle would feast on his liver daily until his death...
After Prometheus died, his corpse was somehow moved here by a Cosmic Entity!
What was the Cosmic Entity intending?
Buried in this ancient abyss, Prometheus's corpse absorbed countless evil souls and was evidently corrupted by demons, becoming another form of powerful existence.
Now having received the power of the sacred halo modified by him, how strong would it become after absorbing this power?
William watched quietly, while Ares and his side became increasingly anxious.
Some people from the Divine Alliance shouted, "Ares, this creature is absorbing the power of the sacred halo, we must kill it quickly!"
"The beings from the Ancient Abyss are truly beyond understanding!"
Ares roared lowly, spreading his hands to unleash a burst of golden light that fell upon Prometheus. The red fur covering Prometheus began to burn.
"It's working, it's effective against this demon..." Ares exclaimed joyously, preparing to continue his assault when the red fur on Prometheus suddenly exploded off, revealing a dry, pitch-black body.
This appearance was that of a desiccated corpse...
Golden flames blazed fiercely within the hollow sockets of Prometheus's eyes, emitting a terrifying aura. Golden light swirled around his mouth and nose, creating an eerie effect.
"This... this is a corpse! He's been revived!"
Ares was somewhat horrified by the scene before him. Who exactly was this?
A mere corpse was able to withstand the attacks of so many powerful beings from the Divine Alliance?
A high-ranking god-level corpse?
An ancient demon?
