I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

As Ansel's howl, full of extreme resentment and unwillingness, gradually faded away, silence returned to the temple.

Just as it had been for countless years, never changing.

In the center of the temple, the light on the trident held by the Divine Statue also began to dim, seemingly regaining its calm after losing control by Ansel.

In the pool of light blue water in front of the Divine Statue, Evar was still with eyes closed, apparently unaware of the fierce clash that had just transpired outside.

Lis remained silent for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief.

Although he had been quite confident just now, it was, after all, only his speculation, and there was the possibility of an accident.

If that had indeed been the case, he would have had to call Mr. Stephens.

But now, it seemed that the outcome was quite favorable.

Lis had hardly lifted a finger and had completely eradicated the remnant soul of Divine Power Ansel, severing Its last hope.

Despite saying so, Lis's heart was still taut.

Fortunately, this Ansel was a restoration from the core of a remnant soul preserved by Divine Power Ansel. Frankly speaking, he was completely different from Divine Power Ansel.

If it were the Divine Soul of Ansel here, not to mention crushing it, a full-force attack from Lis might have been just a tickle.

However, if he truly faced Divine Power Ansel, Lis wouldn't have hesitated for a second before fleeing.

Who would foolishly provoke a true deity?

Lis put away the fragment of the [Storm Trident] he held.

This Divine Artifact Fragment, no longer housing Ansel's soul, still retained some of its previous buffs, and besides, it could serve as an exceedingly valuable base material.

Without further hesitation, Lis stepped forward and walked into the temple once again.

First, he took a tour around the temple, observing it carefully, and finally checked on Evar in the pool.

Looking at Evar's state, Lis shook his head.

This guy struck it big this time!

He got a good sleep and even received Ansel's inheritance.

After waiting for a moment, no abnormalities occurred.

Lis nodded and suddenly vanished on the spot.

At the same time, another Lis appeared at the entrance of the temple.

This one was Lis's True Body.

Even though he had been almost certain that Ansel's soul had thoroughly dissipated, Lis still took extra precautions.

After all, no amount of caution was too much when facing a deity.

Lis stepped into the temple, his complexion somewhat pale.

There was no helping it; using the [Mirror Body] twice in a row had drained so much magic power that Lis was somewhat overwhelmed.

Although his [Mirror Body] Skill had greatly reduced its cooldown after Lis had invested a lot of Experience Points to improve its Skill Level, the consumption of magic power was still immense.

However, it has to be said that the [Mirror Body] Skill was really too useful.

There are many clone-type Skills, and the most important aspects of such a category are two-fold.

One is whether the clone can inherit the buffs of its original, and the other aspect is the authenticity of the clone.

Lis's clone Skill [Mirror Body] could inherit most of Lis's Strength, and was extremely real; something that even Ansel couldn't discern.

Despite the high consumption and the limitation of only one clone existing at a time, it was one of the top-tier clone Skills, with plenty of potential.

Walking into this empty temple, Lis felt as if the years began to pass.

Previously, time seemed to have solidified in this temple, maintaining an unchanged state for countless years.

Perhaps it was Ansel's Death that caused the temple to lose its core; the speed of power dissipation increased significantly.

Even Lis could feel it clearly.

Time to hurry!

With this thought flashing through Lis's mind, he quickly approached the Divine Statue.

After carefully scouting the temple with his clone, he was fairly certain that the power core of the temple was the light blue Holy Grail in the left hand of the Divine Statue.

The power sustaining the temple all originated from it.

The stream of light blue water, seemingly inexhaustible, flowed out constantly, like a waterfall.

Lis, having enhanced himself with the [Flying Technique], flew towards the hand of the Divine Statue.

Landing on the expansive palm of the Divine Statue, Lis closely examined the Holy Grail standing as tall as a person before him.

Filled with clear, light blue liquid, the Grail was slightly tilted, allowing the constant flow of water to pour out like a waterfall below.

Special wave-like patterns adorned the Holy Grail, sparkling with a Holy radiance, imparting a sense of purity and nobility.

This, like the Altar he had encountered before, gave Lis a profound sense of insignificance.

If he wasn't mistaken, this Holy Grail should contain all of the remaining Divine Power of Ansel, surely more than what was contained within the Faith Crystal he had obtained from the Altar.

After confirming this, Lis no longer hesitated, removed the [Sphinx's Wisdom], and approached the Holy Grail.

After all, he had no other way to store the Divine Power; even if he obtained it, he couldn't use it with his current mastery of Divine Power. It was better to use it all for strengthening the Legendary-level Accessory.

The more he understood, the more important the [Sphinx's Wisdom] became to Lis.

It's fair to say that with the buff from this Legendary-level Accessory, Lis's Strength had increased more than just a notch.
