Chapter Thirty: Radiant Nun
According to legend, the memories before d*ath are the clearest.
Unfortunately, Cridiana now only remembers a vague shadow. As the newly reborn Radiant Nun, she doesn’t pay much attention to her past. The innate control of the succubus drives her to seek more power. Pleasing her mother, the Succubus Queen Mikanxute, is the most important thing for her. If she cannot prove her worth, she will become her mother’s plaything. The Succubus Queen has always been indiscriminate, possessing an almost pathological obsession with beautiful things.
Proving oneself can lead to power, status, and freedom, for Mikanxute regards the succubi as her children, showing them more affection than any other demons, and allowing them occasional whimsy.
There is a passage that records:
“The Succubus Queen Mikanxute’s most beloved servants are, of course, the succubi. Since becoming the Queen, Mikanxute has held a special fondness for them, even when some often go against her wishes; this affection has not changed. To Mikanxute’s peculiar logic, these ‘willful’ succubi are merely acting according to their nature. Only some particularly rare succubi, such as the Disfavored Lady residing in the City of Imprints, have truly escaped the indulgence of the Succubus Queen. If there is anything in the multiverse that could genuinely sadden Mikanxute, it is undoubtedly these misguided children.”
It’s interesting to note that those demons considered terrifyingly evil and chaotic from a mortal’s perspective are often great and noble figures within their own races!
Take, for example, the King of Werewolves, Yenogu. He has fought his entire life for the rise of werewolves and has successfully built a kingdom for them in the Bottomless Abyss, freeing them from thousands of years of slavery. Then there’s the Succubus Queen Mikanxute, whose influence has transformed the status of succubi in the Bottomless Abyss from mere s*xual playthings into a powerful ruling class—entirely supported by her efforts. Her love for them can hardly be less than that of other deities for their followers.
Without the rise of Mikanxute, there would be no succubi’s current status in the Bottomless Abyss!
……
A slight sound interrupted Cridiana’s reverie.
A touch of scorn crept onto her lips, a seductive expression blooming on her exquisite face, and in an instant, her figure vanished from her spot, followed by the swing of her thorned whip with metal barbs.
Crack!
Accompanied by a shrill scream, a werewolf scout was pulled directly out of the shadows by her.
—”Mind Gaze!”
—”Captivating Beauty!”
As the daughter of the Succubus Queen Mikanxute, Cridiana was born with the ability of “Desecrating Beauty,” which permanently enhanced her charm. Mind Gaze allows her to see into the hearts of weaker enemies, and with the innate “Captivating Beauty,” any enemy unable to resist her charm would fall directly under her control.
The expression of the werewolf scout turned dazed. Even as a cruel smile appeared on Cridiana’s lips, she swung the whip again, striking it.
The enemy stood motionless!
It seemed the whip, armed with metal barbs, only brought it immense pleasure. Without resistance, it stood there until it was literally whipped to d*ath.
At the level of strength achieved by a Radiant Nun, her enchanting abilities could directly deceive her target’s senses.
Pain turned into pleasure.
At the moment d*ath arrived, all accumulated pain would explode in an instant, and the werewolf scout, who died beneath her whip, finally showed a terrifying and hideous expression.
“Such trash dares to be sent out!”
Cridiana lightly shook her whip, which then coiled around her slender waist. As an advanced form of high-tier succubus, the Radiant Nun possessed an innate legendary combat power. Besides the various capabilities of high-tier succubi, the Radiant Nun was born with the profession level of 9 or higher as a priest. No one knows where their divine techniques come from; perhaps they are from the Succubus Queen, or perhaps from the power of the Bottomless Abyss.
The powerful Radiant Nun could even contend with Demon Lords!
For the succubus lord, the Demon Lord of the Bottomless Abyss, known as the “Crimson Mortuary,” is Mikanxute’s daughter, meaning the potential of the Radiant Nun is not to be underestimated when compared to high-level demons.
Demon Lords prefer pure souls.
Because pure souls allow them to directly extract power to forge powerful demons, these demons may be born legendary, with growth potentials much higher than other demons.
“Come!”
Cridiana stood on the bl**d-soaked ground, surrounded by a sea of corpses, with bits of flesh stuck to her metal-constructed boots. Her seemingly exposed metal armor doesn’t weaken her defensive abilities at all. She gazed toward the werewolf plains in the distance, murmuring, “Let this place be the first battlefield of my rise! I will prove to Mother that I am no less than my sisters!”
“I!”
“Cridiana!”
“Will become a powerful Abyss Lord!”
……
The black strait lay silent.
Soren waved his hand, signaling the fleet to stop, then issued a summoning.
A massive shadow gradually rose from the seabed, the monstrous body of a mutant orca slowly emerged from the distance. Soren had not brought anyone this time because at this stage of his impending divinity, there was a high likelihood that others would attempt to probe his lair, so he had to leave Gloria and the others at the base to hold down the fort. Soren was now only a step away from becoming a deity, and even if he faced a demigod, he had a good chance of victory. This time, going to Treasure Island alone was enough.
“Stay here!”
Soren slowly unsheathed the Curved Blade “Ice d*ath,” then leaped onto the enormous body of the mutant orca. He stood atop the orca and gently stroked his pet’s back, then the entire figure sank with the orca into the depths of the ocean.
“Deep Sea Stalker [Mutant Sea Monster] [Super Huge Size] (5th Tier).”
“Challenge Level 18, Biological Level 24, possesses spell-like abilities.”
“Maximum attribute 35 points, minimum attribute 15 points, total attribute value 100-120 points.”
“Specialties: Tentacle Bind, Multi-attack, Super Huge Size, Mutant Ocean Behemoth, Limb Regeneration, Devour.”
“Challenge Difficulty: A+.”
……
Although Soren did not have the specific details of the giant octopus monster, he remembered its general capabilities.
Multi-attack with tentacles. Its inherent regeneration abilities, terrifying vitality from its super huge size, and a capacity for further mutation and enhancement by devouring other species.
Against such monsters, countless non-legends would d*e!
The seawater began to shake.
The mutant orca, also an ocean behemoth, quickly stirred massive creatures in the depths of the strait. Conflicts over territories among such ocean monsters are fierce, and the lurking beasts did not hesitate to reveal themselves to teach a severe lesson to any intruders.
—”Shadow Hide!”
Soren’s figure vanished into the water, and the mutant orca released a deep roar, charging directly toward the enormous tentacles that emerged from the darkness.
The sea churned violently.
The clash of the two ocean behemoths raised gigantic waves, and fortunately, the fleet had not approached this point; otherwise, they would all have been overturned.
—”Shadow Leap!”
Soren swiftly dove deeper into the ocean, the massive body of the mutant orca completely concealing his presence, while the gigantic octopus focused solely on how to defeat the other ocean behemoth before it.
Before long.
A massive mass emerged in Soren’s view.
The surrounding water became murky. He could vaguely see terrible razor-sharp teeth and an incredible maw capable of swallowing a large ship. This creature was slightly smaller than the “Son of Dagon” Soren had encountered, but not by much.
Soren searched for a lethal weakness.
The mutant orca was entangled by several colossal tentacles. Though it had grown stronger, against such a super huge sea monster, it was still at a disadvantage.
“Right here!”
Soren’s figure suddenly leaped out, and then he crossed space to appear above the head of the super giant octopus.
—”High Acceleration Spell!”
In an instant!
Countless cold blades of light appeared, and Soren’s figure became like a sharp sword, piercing directly into the massive head of the octopus. He cut through muscles and bones, forcefully killing his way into the enemy’s skull.
Thud!
The massive tentacles fell limply. Soren leaped out from the ruins of the octopus’s head.
He coldly glanced at the ocean behemoth before him, then ordered the mutant orca beside him, “Devour it! Leave not a single shred!”
A shower of bl**d and flesh erupted.
The mutant orca opened its huge jaws and began to devour madly. This super giant octopus was at least ten times its size, so it would take a long time to consume it completely.
Soren’s figure ascended toward the ocean’s surface!
As one on the brink of divinity, dealing with such mundane creatures posed no difficulty for him.
Many mortals may believe that deities are nothing extraordinary; powerful legendary wizards can challenge deities and even stand shoulder to shoulder with weaker deities.
But in reality, this is merely a mortal fantasy.
Often, they can’t even defeat the avatars of deities, let alone the true forms.
The only truly successful god-slaying was accomplished by the mightiest archmage Kasas of the Silver Era; although he used a spell to eliminate the first-generation magic goddess, he could not withstand the immense power and self-destructed. The magnificent Arcane Era of silver ended with that. The second-generation magic goddess revived in her daughter’s body, and simply killing a deity with great divine power cost the life of the most powerful and gifted archmage in history, along with a brilliant arcane civilization that once possessed a floating city.
The price was simply too steep!
Soren’s dominance over mortals was taking shape; as divine power continued to gather, fewer and fewer mortals could threaten him, even legendary wizards.
Endless ages flow!
Civilizations rise and fall repeatedly, with countless legendary heroes emerging and perishing. The once glorious arcane civilization is left with a few liches struggling for survival, yet the deities remain high above.
Soren does not know what has happened in history, but he knows that only the deities have the right to participate in the upcoming contests!
The most chaotic era in the history of the multiverse.
Also the most opportunity-laden era ever.
When the unparalleled chaos comes to an end, an age of order will arrive; at that time, it will likely be impossible to find another opportunity to k*ll a deity!
……
Soren’s figure returned to the warship.
He glanced at the bl**d-soaked sea before him, knowing the mutant orca would take a long time to consume the colossal sea monster, so he directly ordered, “Continue!”
Once a bane to many, the ocean behemoth was easily slain by him.
Unknowingly.
Soren now stood at heights greater than during his peak. When he possessed such powers back then, the Saint’s Cataclysm had long since ended, and the gods had returned to their realms. He had many powerful specialties but lost the opportunity because, at that time, the chances of mortals successfully challenging weaker deities were nearly zero.
As long as they can use the powers of the divine kingdom, even the weakest deities can contend against a group of legendary strong.
Because behind them is a kingdom!
Soren gazed at the vast sea ahead, now just a final step away from divinity. Once he secures Treasure Island, he can directly enter the “Pantheon” as a “True God”!!! (To be continued ~^~)
