Chapter 144 - 140 Cain’s Divine Power
Chapter 144: Chapter 140 Cain’s Divine Power
“Divine Son, Lord Burns has asked me to greet you and escort you back to Frost Blood Castle,”
Marion said respectfully to Angela.
He had realized that the Divine Son was very close to Lis, and figured that she would hardly keep anything from him, so he thought it might be better to be honest.
“Who is Burns?”
The little white-haired girl looked at Marion, asking with some curiosity.
Seeing Angela’s expression, Marion seemed to guess something and said:
...
“Prince Frostblood, Lord Burns, is a Legendary Bloodline and also a Divine Favored of the ancestor Cain. This time, it was by the decree of Lord Cain that I was instructed to find you.”
“A Divine Favored of the ancestor?”
Angela was a bit puzzled but continued to ask:
“Then why do you call me Divine Son?”
“Lord Burns received an oracle from Lord Cain, advising him that you are Cain’s Divine Son.”
“So what does a Divine Son do?”
Angela asked, appearing utterly clueless, and Marion reluctantly explained:
“A Divine Son is someone who possesses divine bloodlines and can inherit some of the divine power. Such beings are extremely rare.”
“You are Cain’s Divine Son. It has been many years since a Divine Son of Lord Cain was born.”
“Am I a Divine Son? I don’t feel anything special about me,”
Angela said as she looked down and spun around, assessing her small body.
“That’s because you have not yet awakened Lord Cain’s Divine Power. Ordinarily, before awakening your power, there’s no difference between you and a normal Blood Clan member, but for some reason, this time Lord Cain specifically chose you.”
Marion explained patiently, as Lis on the side seemed to recall something.
When Lis and Angela first met at McGwire’s Death Tomb, to gain Angela’s trust, he had invoked the revered name of Cain.
Could it be that Cain took notice of Angela back then? Otherwise, Cain should have sent someone to take Angela away earlier, rather than letting her face persecution from the Golden Lion Knights.”
“How do I awaken?”
Angela asked with curiosity.
“You will come with me to Lord Burns. He will organize a ceremony for your awakening,”
“Where is this Lord Burns?”
Angela did not know this supposed Burns, but he seemed to be a senior figure within the Blood Clan.
“In the Kingdom of Bolin, south of the Feis Kingdom.”
Wow! The Kingdom of Bolin, that’s right next to the Elves’ Navia Great Forest, so far away?
Lis thought to himself but didn’t speak up; it was better to let Angela decide these matters on her own.
“But I don’t want to go.”
Angela said after some thought, feeling comfortable with her current life and not particularly willing to leave Lis.
Marion found this somewhat difficult, but fortunately, Lord Burns had other instructions.
He raised his right hand, a crimson light shining in the palm of his hand.
Merely looking at it, Lis felt as if he was immersed in a pure sea of blood, having no thoughts of resistance whatsoever.
Divine Power!
Joey, who had been silently listening, suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed intently on the crimson light in Marion’s hand.
It was a pity it wasn’t the Divine Power of a fallen deity; it might have been useful.
This must be that Cain’s Divine Power!
After feeling it, Joey nodded slightly.
Marion looked nervously at Joey and, seeing no reaction from this formidable figure, finally relaxed.
“Divine Son, this is the Divine Power of Lord Cain, which can help you awaken the power of the Divine Son.”
“However, this is just to awaken Lord Cain’s power. For more inheritance, you still need to visit Frost Blood Castle.”
Lord Angela stared intensely at the blood-red glow before her, feeling her body desperately craving it.
Barely containing her impulse, Angela asked,
“What should I do then?”
“You don’t need to do anything special, but the awakening process might take some time.”
Marion was also uncertain, as he had never witnessed the Divine Son’s awakening ritual before.
Seeing that Angela was ready, Marion gently pushed the blood-red glow towards her, and it entered her body without resistance.
Suddenly, a blood cocoon wrapped around Angela’s entire body and slowly levitated in mid-air.
This…
Lis turned his questioning gaze towards Joyce.
Joyce nodded and said,
“It’s fine; it should be the awakening process after receiving the Divine Power. I can sense her aura.”
Lis then relaxed, not wanting anything bad to happen to Angela.
“Thank you, Lord Joyce.”
Relieved that Angela had successfully entered the awakening process, Marion sighed with relief and turned to bow to Joyce.
He had indeed been worried that this legendary strongman might attempt to seize the Divine Power, as it was a considerable temptation for any legend.
But the Divine Son had no intention of going back with him, and it seemed there would be no chance to pass the Divine Power to Angela privately again; they could only try.
Joyce glanced at Marion and was unconcerned.
He was not the kind of foolish person who would carelessly absorb Divine Power, as doing so meant forever losing the chance to advance further.
Marion also thanked Lis, saying,
“Thank you for your help too, Mr. Lis.”
“I never expected the Divine Son to have always been with you, the previous times… Alas!”
Marion was a bit annoyed but continued,
“There’s something else I would like to ask of you.”
“What is it?”
Now aware of many secrets unknown in his past lives, Lis was in a good mood and said with a smile,
“Your relationship with the Divine Son is very good; I still would like you to persuade the Divine Son.”
“After all, only by fully accepting Lord Cain’s legacy can the Divine Son grow faster.”
“I understand; I will speak to her.”
Lis nodded; it indeed would be beneficial for Angela, especially since the Blood Clan had even brought out the Divine Power of Cain, clearly wanting Angela’s growth to be smoother.
“How long will she stay like this?”
Lis asked, pointing at the blood cocoon before him.
“I’m not quite sure,”
Marion said somewhat hesitantly,
“Maybe after Lady Angela absorbs the Divine Power completely, she will wake up.”
Thinking it over, Marion took out a piece of Blood Crystal Stone and handed it to Lis.
“Mr. Lis, thank you very much for taking care of the Divine Son. Here is a token of my appreciation, and I hope you won’t refuse.”
Lis curiously accepted the Blood Crystal Stone, which glimmered with a deep red light as if it were formed from coagulated blood, yet it emitted a fresh scent.
