The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess

Deep within the volcano.

The array was fully activated, and Shaline quietly felt that trace of ethereal presence.

"A few days ago, I seemed to vaguely sense the presence of the gods, but that feeling was too faint."

She diligently followed the summoning ritual’s instructions to call upon the legendary gods.

The divine shards were glowing, yet no response was received.

Rose watched this scene. From the moment the summoning began, he knew Shaline would not succeed.

She hadn’t even made a breakthrough from zero, and no matter how hard she tried later, it would all be in vain.

Rose was still hesitating.

He hesitated on whether to convey his message through Hilia when the leader behind Shaline and Pera arrived.

After pondering for a long time, he ultimately chose his initial thought.

If it was Raphael, then he’d refrain from appearing.

If it was someone else, determine based on the specific situation whether to appear.

Maybe he could give her a distant thought, allowing her to vaguely sense his presence? Rose mused.

In this way, he would lead his apostle to believe that the array could succeed, but one divine shard wasn’t enough, prompting her to seek more divine formats.

"Let’s wait and see; seeking the Main God Divine Format is still too dangerous for them." Rose shook his head.

The summoning ritual here was not so easily concluded, for Shaline was not Benovia.

As he was pondering, Rose sensed a red-haired figure quietly appear beside Pera.

She didn’t hide her arrival, and Pera quickly noticed, immediately saluting: "Chairman, you’ve arrived."

The red-haired girl, referred to as Chairman, Raphael, was now observing Shaline in the chaotic center of the lava lake, her eyes shining with fervor and excitement.

Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "How is it?"

Pera sighed and shook her head, "It’s not very optimistic. From Shaline’s fluctuations in various aspects, she hasn’t succeeded in the call, perhaps this summoning ritual... hasn’t worked."

"No!" Raphael denied, "There is an effect, there must be an effect. I can feel a trace of his fragrance here, it must have successfully transmitted his scent."

Pera was puzzled, "But I couldn’t feel anything."

Raphael said, "Your strength is too low, having never had any encounter with him, no bond, it’s normal that you can’t feel it, I..."

As she spoke, Raphael suddenly paused.

She abruptly turned her head, looking around, then deeply inhaled, her face stretching out like a little dog, sniffing around, before tilting her head with a puzzled expression.

"Chairman?" Pera looked at Raphael’s sudden actions in confusion.

"I feel more of his scent, as if he’s patting my head," Raphael showed a look of infatuated expression, "just like before, he liked to pat my head..."

Nearby, Rose mischievously reached out to pat Raphael’s head as he watched her searching around, a smile on his face.

Though he avoided being noticed by her, no actual touch was made, but because of the deep bond once shared, even if no encounters were possible, matters between a superior and subordinate can easily occur, and the good favor level was fully maxed.

The Star God Curse does not affect having fully maxed favorability, only the extra CGs after max favorability, meaning ambiguous encounters cannot happen, even with max favorability, there wouldn’t be romantic plots and CGs, the affection level [Adoration] would turn into [Loyalty], just like male subordinates.

"After all these years, Raphael is still so beautiful, her strength hasn’t stood still either, even if she hasn’t ascended to godhood, she has become stronger." Rose nodded.

Even if it’s gods, as long as he doesn’t reveal himself, they can’t detect him, but apostles with bonds can sensitively feel his presence.

Raphael is such, only she didn’t know Rose was right beside, she just thought it was Shaline’s array taking effect.

"In this case, there’s no need to tell her more, let her think that the ritual was effective, but not completely so."

Rose withdrew his aura, making it impossible for Raphael to sense him.

The suddenly vanished aura made Raphael anxious; she several times wanted to rush into the lava lake’s center to replace Shaline, but she suppressed the urge.

Pera, for the first time, saw Raphael with such an expression.

She hesitated for a moment and then said slowly, "Chairman, outside, the Tower of Descent is making big moves, they are trying to target the Fire Spirit, wanting to use the mage’s blood to accelerate the Fire Spirit’s growth, should we stop them?"

Raphael shook her head, calming down slowly, her eyes turned deep: "No need to bother, behind these heretics are gods at work. My friend is using them to summon gods. Although I don’t like this approach... if it’s for our gods, it’s not impossible, as long as it doesn’t affect us, let them meddle."

Pera smiled slightly, "Alright, unless that Erina intervenes or there’s a sixth-level battle, it won’t affect us."

She shook her head, "With Erina around, perhaps no fight will break out."

Raphael said, "Nevermind, after this matter, I need to go to the Land of the Far North to see my friend, afterwards will continue to slumber, until successfully making contact with the gods... don’t bother with me."

As she spoke, Raphael murmured to herself, "I must save some lifespan to wait for the return of the gods to lead us to the stars."

Pera said, "Frequent awakenings may not extend your lifespan, Chairman, don’t awaken from time to time."

"Hmm, thank you, Pera."

Pera sighed wistfully, "It’s a pity, 500 years is the limit at level six... I may never see the descent of that god."

Raphael was silent for a while: "After this matter, come to the Land of the Far North with me."

Pera shook her head, "Forget it, I’m old, even a thousand years ago as the Chairman said, I was among those hopeless to break through the limits. Why force it."

She looked at Shaline in the center of the lava lake with a kind smile: "Before leaving, nurturing Shaline for the Hiro Association is my last wish, if not for the Chairman, I might have died five hundred years ago, living till now, I am already content."

Raphael nodded, saying nothing.

Along the way, she had seen too many separations, too many.

Looking at Shaline before her, there was a deep obsession in her eyes.

Suddenly, she felt as if she was shrouded in Rose’s aura, but when she sought to investigate, this aura disappeared, as if it was an illusion.

In a place she couldn’t see, Rose sighed softly, leaving a faint imprint of spiritual power, then departed.

"I’m sorry, Raphael, maybe before, I would have met with you, but now, I discovered Zeus’ layout, meeting with you would inevitably alert Zeus, putting you in danger, let’s wait a bit longer, it won’t be long..."

Fortunately, I saw you so late.
