Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 136 Brothers and Sisters
Marvin and Daniela's conversation lasted for two full hours.
When the door of the reception room opened, the maid outside took a curious look.
Daniela looked very bad, and even her smile seemed forced. On the contrary, Marvin looked calm and composed.
"I'll consider your proposal... Let me think about it."
Daniela said so.
Marvin shrugged easily.
He had already done this kind of thing once, so he had no psychological burden at all.
He nodded and said, "Anyway, you can inform me before it officially starts. I know it's hard for you to make up your mind, but sometimes we always have to make some choices that we can't help ourselves."
"Okay, I'm going to go to the [Little Black Room], after all, the one-month time is up."
Daniela nodded, and the two of them left the reception room together and walked deeper into the castle.
Before the Grand Duke disappeared, he handed over all authority over the castle to Daniela, so she was the only person in the entire Lavis who could freely enter and exit various parts of the castle.
The small black room is the place where Marvin and the Archbishop agreed to extract the essence of the Devil Lord's head. It is also the core of the entire Cleland family.
After he entered the small dark room, he immediately took out the mystery of the ancestors and the head of the devil lord.
With the demonstration given by the Grand Duke last time, Marvin also learned how to exploit the poor Devil Lord.
In the evening, he walked out of the small dark room, looking a little tired, but with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
This time, he successfully extracted three points of divine origin!
The origin of God is a very precious thing. The reason why Marvin's advanced virtual godhood evolved successfully is because he absorbed the origin of God after killing the clone of the God of the Wilderness. Before that, the origin of God he obtained was wasted on the Book of Naaru. Now he will not waste such a precious item on that somewhat evil book.
He injected two drops of divine origin into the high-level virtual godhead, but this time the high-level virtual godhead did not react.
He checked the data panel and found the status of the cultivation of the virtual godhood very clearly:
[Advanced Virtual Godhead (First Advancement) (Fusion Degree 13%)]
[Requirements for further advancement: Origin of God 2/10]
…
Seeing this data, Marvin couldn't help but sigh.
The advanced virtual godhead is simply a bottomless pit. How much resources would it take to cultivate this thing!
You know, this is not just cabbage! This is the origin of God! The preciousness of the origin of God is needless to say. Marvin estimated that every time he killed a servant of God, he might not be able to obtain a little bit of the origin of God.
In comparison, the perception points required to advance to the level of Lord of Darkness are easier to obtain than the Origin of God!
But he was not discouraged.
He knew that this was almost the only way for him to break the limits of the human body.
Cultivating high-level virtual godhood, through the forced accumulation of a large amount of resources (the origin of God), raising the level of the virtual godhood to a high enough level, it is possible to trigger a chain reaction. At that time, Marvin may break the limit of the human body, not only can the attribute break through the sensitive number of 30 points, but also can obtain extremely powerful strength.
This was the method the elf told him to break through the limits of the human body.
Although the Bird Council also provided a solution, Marvin always felt that relying on the Ultimate Transfiguration to break the limits of the human body was not a reliable way. Although transforming into a bronze dragon like Sky Fury could certainly gain the attributes of a bronze dragon and get rid of the weak human body, the Ultimate Transfiguration was just a transformation and could not fundamentally break the shackles on humans.
As for seeking a breakthrough in martial arts like swordsmanship master Kang En or monk Panyun, it is an option, but Marvin does not have enough time - in fact, he also doubts whether he has such understanding, so even though he also practiced desperate swordsmanship, he still did not put all his bets on it.
"Compared with all these ways of improvement, cultivating a high-level virtual godhood is really the most suitable for me."
"The Origin of God is indeed very precious to others, but I can obtain at least 1 to 2 fixed points of the Origin of God every month. In the future, the conflicts between me and the gods will only increase, not decrease. If I hunt down more servants of God, I may be able to make up for the rest."
Marvin knew that he would eventually embark on a path that was in opposition to the gods.
In the future, either I will be destroyed, or countless servants of God and chosen people will die at my hands.
This is a battle of interests, cognition, and beliefs, and no one can stop it from happening.
…
When he walked out of the small dark room, Daniela was still thinking deeply.
He looked at the sky and smiled, "The meeting you mentioned will start soon."
Daniela sighed: "He is my brother."
"Please give him a chance..."
Marvin nodded.
Immediately, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
Daniela watched Marvin leave, and the confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared, becoming extremely tough.
She walked back to the study and began to deal with relevant government affairs.
As for tonight's meeting, she will not attend it.
Because someone will go in her place.
…
In a secret cave in the snowy mountains.
In the light of the candles, human figures are everywhere.
This is the secret place of the Cleland family and also where the Council of Elders holds meetings all year round.
Many institutions have a Council of Elders, and most of them are used to restrict the power of those in power.
The Elders' Council of the Crilland family is mostly composed of elderly elders.
Unfortunately for the people of Lavis, most of them only know that the ruler of Lavis is Grand Duke Crilland, and they have no idea what the Council of Elders is!
This is because warlocks are a group that highly respects the use of force.
The Grand Duke himself was so powerful that the Council of Elders used to check his power completely lost its function and became just a decoration.
When the Grand Duke was around, all decisions were made by him alone, and it was basically just a formality, with the elders giving him advice. But everyone knew that the Grand Duke had no intention of letting them interfere, and they were very tactful and retreated behind the scenes.
But now, times are different.
Turalyon died in battle and the Archduke disappeared.
At the call of some caring people, the Council of Elders suddenly discovered that it still has a certain status!
If we can't restrict the Grand Duke's power, there should be no problem in restricting Daniela, who is young and has little foundation, right?
Under Hubble's encouragement, the members of the Council of Elders became excited overnight as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They held a meeting and finally made a secret decision :
They want to elect Hubble as the new Grand Duke. As for Daniela, she is a woman after all, and has a good relationship with Hubble. I believe that even if she is not happy, she will not go against her brother's wishes.
They had already thought about how to comfort Daniela, and they could just let Hubble arrange a sinecure for her.
This woman's fighting ability is still very strong and it is worth keeping her.
Deep in the secret cave, six elders sat upright, and several people stood by, including Hubble in a robe.
"Daniela hasn't come yet? The time has come!"
An elder looked at the hourglass beside him and suddenly shouted , "This kid really doesn't know the rules!"
Hubble smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my sister may have been delayed by official business."
"Humph... the Grand Duke didn't designate who the true heir was before he left." The elder said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you busy dealing with official business now? We haven't even settled our family's internal affairs yet. You really don't know what's good for you!"
"She and Turalyon are indeed among the several heirs designated by the Grand Duke, but now, whether it is the Council of Elders or many families and officers in the city, they all support Hubble to succeed the Grand Duke. As soon as the war ended, she took advantage of the wartime regulations and assumed the status of Grand Duke. It seems that she really doesn't take us old men seriously."
Several elders were discussing this, and as time passed, they became more and more dissatisfied.
Hubble smiled slightly, looking confident of victory.
He thought he knew Daniela well. His sister was very smart and a talent for governing, but she had a fatal flaw: she trusted herself too much.
The two are siblings, but Daniela has been the center of attention since she was born , while he, no matter how hard he tries, can only be a supporting role.
Although on the surface, he pretended to be very similar - after all these years, Daniela didn't even doubt him. Even in the poisoning incident when he was seven years old, Hubble was the most likely culprit, but Daniela directly ruled him out of the possibility , and finally the blame was placed on Turalyon.
That incident caused the Grand Duke to be furious, and Daniela was protected even more strictly. Even Hubble did not dare to take action against her again for fear of being discovered.
But the jealousy in his heart became more and more abnormal.
He envied her talent. They were obviously siblings, so why was there such a big gap between them?
He is of noble Pearl Black Python descent and had already amazed everyone in the family when he was born.
However, when the Ice Angel was born, he was immediately banished to the cold palace.
This gap made him feel overwhelmed.
Especially after Turalyon also showed his fallen angel bloodline, he lost his chance even more.
He could only retreat behind the scenes and continue to play the role of that amiable brother.
However, he has been working in secret so that one day, when the opportunity comes, he can seize it.
It seems that God has not abandoned him!
"Today is my chance!"
"Daniela will never refuse my request! I will let her be my deputy. She is my sister and she deserves it!"
Hubble's eyes were filled with desire for power.
Outside the secret cave in the snowy mountains, there were soft footsteps.
"You are finally here, my dear sister..."
Hubble laughed loudly.
But the next second, his smile froze on his face.
"Why is it you?"
Marvin walked into the cave, sat down on a chair, and looked at Hubble with a smile:
"Of course I do, dear brother."
