Chapter 44: Seizing the Divine Profession! [Request for Recommendation Votes]

The earth shook and the mountains trembled.
Terrifying explosions echoed continuously, and none of the nearby individuals, whether they were believers of the Church of Shadows or the Church of Murder, dared to approach this place. Because this was a battlefield of deities, any mortal, even a Legendary Professionist, could fall instantly if they got too close. The powerful Divine Power sealed off the space, with several trembling breaths emerging that made mortals shiver. The fierce battle had caused countless cracks to appear in the ground, the surrounding vines and plants grew wildly, and icy snow fell unknowingly. Occasionally, a dazzling streak of golden light would flash across, as if tearing the sky like a golden lightning bolt.
“I will not accept this!…”
A low growl sounded like a beast, drops of blood trickling down his arm. Sherek’s expression was filled with madness, as if he were a beast trapped in a snare.
His entire body was covered by a layer of frost, and around him lay a sheet of ice. Except for the divine blood, which had not frozen, the surrounding vegetation had completely withered. On Sherek’s back and shoulders were deadly wounds that even high-level divine techniques could not heal in a short time. His Divine Power shield had been shattered by the gods working together, and in the chaos of his memories, this scene seemed somewhat familiar. He quickly recalled that painful time when he was judged by the gods a second time and was jointly expelled and sealed by them—such a scene was strikingly similar to now.
“It’s time to end this.”
Soren’s expression remained calm as ever, but his palm trembled slightly. Sherek had severed half of his left hand, and although it could be restored using Divine Power, it would still take some time.
The enemy was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
Although Sherek was now weakened to low-level divine power, Soren felt a sense of resistance to high-level divine power.
The power of murder.
The power of deceit.
The power of illusion.
If it weren’t for the princess’s ability to freeze illusions, the battle would have been even more difficult than it was now.
However.
Everything was about to come to an end.
Sherek’s Divine Power was exhausted, and without a Divine Power shield, he could not withstand the attacks of multiple medium-level divine beings.
A silver-white streak of light cut across the sky.
Soren integrated with the silver blade’s light, instantly unleashing the power of the Shadow Divine Profession, directly slicing through time and space. Sherek attempted to block Soren’s attack with a razor, but his depleted Divine Power could not support him any longer in the fight. Accompanied by the silver light splitting through his body, Sherek finally collapsed, pale-faced. The time he spent breaking free from the seal was not long enough. Although the church was established, the time was too short, and under the background of the Saint’s Cataclysm, Sherek could not accumulate enough Divine Power Value to maintain defense, feeling utterly powerless against the joint attacks of the gods.
Golden divine blood spilled onto the ground.
Countless dazzling lights burst forth from Sherek’s body, with most of it flowing towards Soren while some scattered onto others.
A line of data appeared before him:
“Kill [God of Murder] – Sherek!…”
“Extract target soul energy!… You gained 7,580,000 Killing Experience!…”
“Target possesses Divinity Value!…”
“Extract target Divinity Value!… You gained 210 Divinity Value!…”
“Target possesses Divine Power Value!…”
“Extract target Divine Power Value!… You gained 65 Divine Power Value!…”
…
“Seize target [Murder] Divine Profession!… Your [Killing] domain is enhanced!… Your Killing Divinity is raised!… You gained an enhancement in the Death Domain!…”
“Seize target [Lie] Divine Profession!… You gained the [Lie] domain!…”
“Seize target [Deception] Divine Profession!… You gained the [Deception] domain!…”
“Seize target [Illusion] Divine Profession!… You gained the [Illusion] domain!…”
“Seize target [Conspiracy] Divine Profession!… You gained the [Conspiracy] domain!…”
“Seize target [Trickery] domain!… Your [Trickery] domain is enhanced!…”
…
“Kill [God of Murder] Sherek!…”
“Your [Death] Divine Profession is enhanced!… Your [Death] domain is strengthened!… Compatibility 95%!… You possess the [Conspiracy] domain!… You possess the [Deception] domain!… You possess the [Killing] domain!… You successfully seized the [Murder] Divine Profession!…”
…
An unprecedented immense Divine Power surged into Soren’s body.
This was an unprecedented situation; the unspeakable compatibility allowed Soren to crazily absorb the power that spilled forth after Sherek’s death, a power so similar to his own that the degree of fusion was astonishing.
210 Divinity Value!
65 Divine Power Value!
This was almost all the power Sherek had accumulated since breaking the seal, and now all of this divine power flowed into Soren’s body.
This was something never before seen in killing any god; no other god could let Soren convert and absorb such massive Divine Power like Sherek did. This was because their source was also the Three Death Deities, and the degree of fusion of their divine power far exceeded that of other gods.
“Successfully seized the Divine Profession!”
“You gained the [Murder] Divine Profession!… You gained a new domain — [Destruction]!…”
“You successfully leveled up to [Strong Divine Power]!…”
…
A portion of the Divine Power scattered away.
Although Soren and Sherek’s Divine Professions and Divine Powers had an astonishing compatibility, there was still a significant rejection because Soren belonged to the Lawful Evil faction while Sherek belonged to the Chaotic Evil faction.
This Divine Power could not fuse at all.
The divine power carried by Sherek’s chaotic essence scattered onto other people, with some absorbed by the arriving deities and some flying toward the mortals.
At this moment.
A surge of divine essence poured out from Soren’s body, causing the gods present to turn and look in surprise, then smile and nod in congratulations.
He leveled up to Strong Divine Power!
Having seized Sherek’s divine power, Soren directly advanced to Strong Divine Power, and his Divinity Value reached an astonishing level. Currently, Soren possessed 715 Divinity Value and 350 Divine Power Value, almost on par with veteran Strong Divine Power beings, possibly even surpassing them in Divinity Value. Now, most of the Three Death Deities’ power had been taken by Soren, and the only portion remaining belonged to Klanvor. As the former King of the Dead, Klanvor’s Divine Power was evidently even stronger than Sherek’s.
If he successfully kills him, Soren may become stronger than the ancient God of Death – Ye Ge at his peak!
After all.
There was still an otherworldly God of Death – Naraku that he needed to deal with.
