Chapter 558: Finally Gaining Divinity
In order to save his life to the greatest extent, Gargos really racked his brains and considered various possibilities in advance. After obtaining the power he has now, he instinctively knew that demigods can take the initiative to strip off their divinity, but almost no demigods would do so, because this behavior would not only make them lose the power of divinity, but also cause almost fatal injuries to their bodies after stripping off divinity.
Gargos knew this, but in the situation where there was no other choice, this was the best way his smart brain judged. He knew that only by actively offering divinity would the chance of survival be the greatest, and that only by offering all his loyalty would Noshil believe in his sincerity, so he did it without hesitation.
After the contract was signed, Gargos gave all his ownership to Noshil. Under the constraints of the powerful contract, Noshil could directly order him to let Gargos take the initiative to strip off his divinity.
But again, in order to show his sincerity, Gargos did not wait for Noshier to ask for it. He took a deep breath and began to gather the divinity in his body after saying the previous words.
For a moment, countless thick bloodstains suddenly appeared on the surface of Gargos' body. The traces were like blood vessels extending out, and finally gathered in his chest. As the power dissipated, his body gradually shrank in the process, and finally shrank to only 4/5 of the original size.
Although Gargos was still huge at this time, he had lost the awe-inspiring momentum before. When Gargos's body reached this point, his chest suddenly exploded! A drop of strange energy emitting infinite pale light burst out directly from Gargos' body!
Gargos staggered back, covered his chest that was gushing blood with his left claws, and finally knelt on one knee weakly, but Gargos's right claws were always supported by him, and he was desperately trying to hold on to the strange energy in front of him that was emitting bright light. Finally, after a moment of hesitation, he slowly handed it to Noshir in front of him.
"Take it, my master, ahem - this is the divinity you have been thinking about. It represents the possibility of leading to a higher direction, and it is also the first key to open the endless power, the most precious thing in the world."
Gargos looked at this energy reluctantly. Since he used a strategy to plunder this infinite power from Asmodeus, this divinity has brought him unparalleled power, and power has also bred ambition.
At that time, Gargos wanted to take this opportunity to develop this divine power more carefully, but everything that happened afterwards completely blocked his ambition, leaving him only as a shield, sleeping in the dark tomb for countless centuries. Even though he has gained freedom now, in the end, he still has no ability to keep this power in his hands.
Compared with Gargos's complicated mood now, Noshil's mood is much more beautiful. He took the initiative to reach out and touch this divine power, and the moment he came into contact with it, this divinity was like consciousness, flowing into his body along Noshil's right hand.
In an instant, Noshil felt a huge sense of meaning. He felt that his spirit was sublimating and transforming, as if he had entered a state of divine perception that transcended the mundane world! He felt that the passage of time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the air became heavy.
Noshier knew that this was how divine creatures perceive the world. He then opened his panel and found that all of his six attributes had a full two points of divine growth bonus, but Noshier could still feel that this power still had great potential that had not yet been discovered!
‘Can I now call myself a demigod? ’
Noshier suddenly thought of this sentence, but soon he smiled dumbly. If he followed the common name for demigods in this world, then he had indeed reached this threshold at this time, but compared to the ideal state in other people’s minds, this increase in power was not enough to make him slack off and relax. Just becoming a so-called demigod would not satisfy him.
"This power is really good. Very good. I have felt your sincerity, Gargos. Since you are so cooperative, I can promise you that if you can still maintain this loyalty in the future, then at least when facing you, I will put aside my prejudice against the devil."
Noshil blinked, dispelling the last trace of pale light that belonged to divinity in his eyes. Gargos also stumbled to his feet. While mobilizing the rich negative energy of the lower plane to heal himself, he spoke to Noshil.
"Your words are enough, Lord Noshil, your most loyal servant will definitely remember this generous promise."
This sentence means that he will cherish this opportunity and remain loyal, so that Noshil's promise will take effect for a long time. If Noshil cannot read Gargos's thoughts, he may not be able to fully understand the meaning of this sentence, but it's okay.
"Then, Lord Noshir, what else do you want to tell me next?"
Gargus is always so quick to replace his identity. In order to show his loyalty, even though his injuries caused by the stripping of his divinity have not yet healed, he is willing to take the initiative to undertake the task at this time, as if he is an absolutely loyal servant.
"I don't need your service for the time being, at least for today."
Does it mean that there will be heavy work tomorrow? Gargus thought to himself, and Nosir continued to add to his previous words at this time, and his next words also confirmed Gargus's guess.
"Take advantage of this time, you should rest here and recover from your injuries, Gargus, what I mean is that you'd better try to recover as quickly as possible from your current injuries. Anyway, we will go to hell tomorrow, and I will have my own tasks to assign to you at that time. If you lose your life because of your injuries, it will be very uneconomical."
After saying this, Nosir turned around and left, walked out of the basement, and Gargus stayed where he was and silently sent Nosir off.
He covered his wound with one hand, while silently feeling the sense of restraint brought to him by the contract he had signed before. At this time, his instinct as a devil began to surge involuntarily, making him instinctively want to find a way to get rid of the current shackles.
But in the end, Gargus sighed helplessly.
