Chapter 2519: Chapter 1106: The Future Lord of the Dead
If the controller of this divine position is qualified, he will absolutely assist him diligently, a trait that Mikol exhibited notably during his tenure overseeing the office of the dead.
Although Mikol governed the office of the dead through a series of sinister methods such as mystery, fear, and threats, from the perspective of the Death Order, he was competent, at least no major mishaps occurred.
Therefore, Yego willingly served as the steward of Skeleton Castle, a shadow of Mikol, and for a time, the world thought he had perished, becoming one of the forgotten.
But if the controller of this divine position is unqualified and cannot remain faithful to this role, this ancient God of Death has silently begun making minor maneuvers. If no accidents occur, he has already started to plot the selection of a new governor for the office of the dead, though it remains unknown whether he has currently aligned with Kellanwo.
Gaven’s words carried a very obvious probing intent, and if possible, this matter is worth intervening in.
Establishing a good relationship with the future God of Death is indeed correct, as he is also of strong divine power.
"I am not asking for this Undead Divine Spark for the Prince of Lies, but for him, the future King of the Deceased!" The style of this ancient God of Death was completely unexpected to Gaven, and the Death Scroll in his hands once again danced, directly forming a large circle as the magic aura flickered, and a human warrior appeared within.
He was wearing locking chain armor, and from his appearance, he seemed not very old, about thirty years old, yet he exuded a sense of weariness from weathering many hardships, resembling those middle-aged uncles hiding in tavern corners drinking silently. Paired with his handsome face, he had a deadly charm for young girls who were naïve to the ways of the world.
Kellanwo*Lainsban.
A name leaped into Gaven’s mind, and the stories about him surged forth.
This was a legendary figure of the Felen Continent, a direct participant in the Year of Upheaval; he formed an adventure team with the thief Shylock from Santiel Fortress and a young secret spellcaster known as Midnight. With the help of the gods’ saints, they defeated the dark Three Gods of Death: Bane, Mikol, and Bal, and retrieved the Destiny Tablets.
The three were simultaneously elevated to become true gods by the God of Gods.
Midnight took over the magic divine position and became the new Magic Goddess.
Shylock claimed a series of divine aspects, including strife, lies, murder, intrigue, deception, and illusion techniques, becoming the new God of Strife.
And the young warrior Kellanwo took over the office of the dead, becoming the new God of Death.
However, this division lasted only a fleeting moment, and after the God of Gods left, the Prince of Lies Shylock successfully executed his first plot since taking office, directly deceiving the office of the dead from Kellanwo and knocking him off the divine altar, turning him back into a mortal.
But under the lie of the Prince of Lies Shylock, it was Kellanwo who believed he was unfit for the duty and willingly relinquished the office of the dead, and only then did Shylock reluctantly assume this divine position.
Gaven was not interested in these secretive stories; he was interested in the fact that in the near future, this person in front of him would retake the office of the dead from Shylock.
Compared to that mad god, this manager of the office of the dead is much more qualified.
Under his management, death was no longer a terrifying thing, but a part of the life cycle; it was not an end, but another beginning, and it was not a punishment, but an essential need in life.
Just like a warrior, he allowed death to proceed orderly, without falsehood, concealment or randomness; his believers would assist those who were dying, allowing them to pass away with dignity.
When dying, most Felen people would have a Kellanwo priest by their side, accompanying them on their final journey in life.
For such a deity, anyone would hold respect, including Gaven, despite the fact that the other had not yet become the Lord of the Deceased.
The moment he saw Kellanwo, Gaven was completely relieved, assured that Record Keeper would not report his matters to the Prince of Lies, because it was clear that he wanted to draw him into the fight against Shylock to seize his office of the dead.
Without much thought, Gaven said, "I am willing to present this Undead Divine Spark to Lord Kellanwo."
Investing early is necessary; Kellanwo, in his mortal state, is the best investment target.
Now supported by Record Keeper Yego, he also has a strong divine power behind him—the Magic Goddess Midnight, with whom he was lovers during the mortal stage.
Without the Magic Goddess, given the character of the Prince of Lies Shylock, how could he have allowed Kellanwo to remain as a security threat?
Who knows how many times he would have crushed him to dust long ago.
Therefore, even though the Undead Divine Spark was Gaven’s first divine power and the key to formidable divine power, he remained unmoved, choosing not to integrate it into himself.
Because without a powerful backing, he didn’t believe that in the matter of reclaiming the office of the dead, the Magic Goddess wasn’t exerting her power behind the scenes.
"I refuse!" Kellanwo slowly opened his mouth, "Old bones, I’ve told you many times, I’m not interested in your proposal."
His voice, like his demeanor, was deep and hoarse, with a rich sense of weariness.
The content of his words stunned Gaven—these two still hadn’t reached an agreement?
From what he understood, Kellanwo himself did not want to seize the office of the dead; rather, the ancient God of Death Yego was pressing him into it.
