Ashes Of Deep Sea

Chapter 604 - 604 603 Test

?Chapter 604: Chapter 603 “Test Chapter 604: Chapter 603 “Test Lucresia was quite in favor of Duncan’s idea to “play the long game” to catch the big fish—in fact, from the beginning, she didn’t quite support the simple and crude method that her father and Fenna had come up with.

It’s not that she had any prejudice against athletes—the main issue she saw was that, based on the fear and sensitivity towards the “Spiritual Fire” that A Dog displayed, as well as the suicide rate of the Profound Demons, that method was so blunt, she feared that not a single living one would be caught…
“The heretics will hold a gathering before nightfall, and I will have Rabi try to get some information,” Lucresia said thoughtfully, “The most troublesome part now is that there is a so-called ‘Saint’ on that ship—meaning that apart from ‘observation,’ Rabi cannot do anything else. Any proactive actions might be detected by that Saint.”

“A Saint?” Duncan was curious, “I know of the Saints of the Four Gods, and I acknowledge Fenna’s combat prowess, but what about a Saint from the Annihilating Church?”

His confusion was well-founded—the Saints of the Four Gods were individuals favored by deities, and their most significant feature was not actually their combat power (although most Saints were indeed powerful) but their ability to communicate with the gods. Ordinary priests needed to perform extremely complex rituals at a certain cost to hear the whispers of the gods, while Saints hardly needed any preparation. Sometimes, with just a prayer in their hearts, they could communicate with their gods. In more extreme cases, if a Saint was in danger, their deity might even find ways to actively reach out, issuing warnings and reminders.

To put it simply, they were treated as if they were one’s own children.

However, a “Saint” from the Anihilating Church would definitely not be like that—Duncan was aware of the status of the Profound Saint; Their attitude toward their so-called “followers” was distinctly clear. Just from the phrase “try catching a few Annihilating cultists,” Duncan was certain that if there was really a Saint among those heretics who could communicate the “will of the god,” it would not be surprising if they were summoned by their “lord” the day they ascended—only to be dragged into the Mysterious Deep Sea and repeatedly beaten by their “lord.”

“The Annihilating Church views the Profound Demons as creatures closest to the ‘Primordial Blueprint,’ pure beings, and thus they constantly harness the power of demons to transform themselves, to become as close to this ‘Primordial Blueprint’ as possible. In this process, they gain greater power,” Lucresia explained, “I’ve heard from Fenna, she once saw in Frost Annihilating Priests who have almost entirely merged and coexisted with Profound Demons, and these so-called ‘Saints’… are a step further.

“They won’t have many human characteristics left, resembling demons more than humans. They move like Profound Demons and can directly draw power from the Mysterious Deep Sea. Apart from retaining their human cognitive abilities, they are essentially a type of ‘Profound being’—these Annihilating ‘Saints’ can almost freely enter the Mysterious Deep Sea, also known as the ‘Eternal Paradise.’ Perhaps only the last vestiges of their human aspects still bind them to our reality.
