"Am I going to die?"
Mano felt that the power in his body was losing little by little with the blood. His consciousness gradually began to fade, and breathing became more and more difficult. The approaching death made the pain in his body gradually fade. He had begun to lose consciousness, but the power of faith made his spirit condense. He felt that a huge force was calling him.
That was the glory of divinity!
This was a very ordinary battle. Since the outbreak of the Avatar Crisis, the battle between humans and demons had begun.
As an officer in charge of the defense of the Wind Spear Hill, it was not the first time Mano fought with demons, but this time he did not expect the number of enemies to be so large, and they had no time to retreat and ask for help.
They won.
This seemed to be a matter of course because the city of Mordor had never failed!
They had their own pride, which belonged to the powerful force of Mordor. Even if the opponent was far more numerous and powerful than them, they still won in the end.
Yes.
They won.
Just like when they followed His Excellency Søren to kill the white dragon, followed His Excellency Søren to defeat the other pirate kings, and followed His Excellency Søren to Treasure Island.
The army of Mordor was invincible!
Mano felt that the vitality of life was leaving his body. His injuries were very serious. Breathing became so difficult. He tried to open his mouth to comfort his sad comrades, but in the end, he could not make a sound. These were all comrades who fought side by side with him. He did not expect that he would have to go to see his old brothers who had died in battle so soon. As a fierce pirate, Mano was not afraid of death. He just had a little regret in his heart because he had not witnessed the rise of Mordor to stand at the top of the world!
He firmly believed that Mordor would become the greatest city in the material plane!
It was full of hope and future.
They had killed all the demons, but they also paid a heavy price.
Only three people from a team of twelve finally rushed out of the encirclement. Relying on excellent equipment and tactics, they killed more than a dozen demons that chased them out.
The comrades around him were already scarred.
Death was getting closer and closer to Mano. He was so weak that he could not breathe, and his consciousness was gradually fading.
This kind of injury was almost incurable.
Unless there was a high-grade Priest who could cast Restore on the spot, but it was almost impossible now. He simply couldn't hold on until then. The arrival of death made his spirit sublimate. His faith gathered the power of his soul. The moment his consciousness completely dissipated, he saw a golden light descending from the sky.
A great golden figure appeared in front of him, smiling as he extended his hand.
"My Lord! … "
Mano used the last of his strength to move his lips, but no sound came out. Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
Death was coming.
However, this was not the end for him, but a new beginning.
…
Søren's figure floated in the air.
His expression didn't change much, and he wasn't sad because of the death of a fanatic. To him, this was just a new beginning.
Ma Nuo's mortal life had come to an end.
However, what he was about to welcome was a new life, a new beginning.
Mortals were unable to see him at this moment.
The warrior in front of him who was holding Mano's cold body let out an angry roar. Then, he madly slashed the demon's body with his weapon, as if he was venting his anger.
Another person slowly closed Mano's eyes, and then dragged his tired body towards the forest in front of him.
Their fallen comrade was still in the forest.
Søren silently watched all of this. When Mano's life force completely dissipated, he slowly extended his hand, and then gently waved his hand. A hazy soul rose from the body and floated into his palm.
Little bits of golden light appeared.
This hazy soul gradually sublimated under Søren's divine light, and the gray traces on the soul gradually faded away. Gradually, it emitted a faint golden light.
As a fanatic, he was qualified to receive the power bestowed by Søren.
Søren's figure rose into the air. He waved his hand towards the forest in front of him, and then nine other hazy souls fell into his palm. These souls also began to change after falling into Søren's palm. Little bits of gray traces disappeared, and traces of blood-red light faded away. It didn't matter if they were good or evil when they were alive. After their death, the light on their souls was wiped away by Søren. All of this karma was borne by Søren. This way, they could offset the pull of these souls from the lower planes.
There were only two places for evil.
One was the lower planes that contained the Baator Inferno and the Bottomless Abyss. The other was the kingdom of the God they believed in.
Søren was bearing their karma.
Only by bearing the Divine Light that represented karma as a god could he allow these souls to be reincarnated into his kingdom.
Little bits of white light appeared.
Unlike Mano's soul, the other souls turned white when they came into contact with Søren's divine light. Their good and evil deeds were wiped away, and they were now neutral souls.
The lower planes would not be able to guide their souls, and Søren could freely arrange where they would go.
These souls were not fanatics.
They were Søren's followers. They were loyal, but not devout enough.
If Søren did not appear, these souls would have been led to the Underworld and distributed by the Servants of Death. If Søren's kingdom was functioning normally, the God's Emissaries would periodically take a portion of the souls from the God of Death and lead them to the God's Kingdom. Only the souls of fanatics and Legendary Professions could directly alert the God's Emissaries and the God himself. These souls could only be personally led to the God's Emissaries without going through the hands of the Servants of Death.
This was because the Devils could steal souls.
Through the evil and loophole-filled contracts, the devils had been trying to steal the high-quality souls that the gods had not noticed over the long years.
Even the Gods had fought with the Devils because of this!
The Gods of Death were not as qualified as imagined, because there were too many souls that they needed to deal with. There were always some souls that were ignored, or it could be because of the secret deals with the Devils. The God's Emissaries of Death would always miss some souls, and then they would be taken away by the Devils and Devils.
Because of the outbreak of the Avatar Crisis, the God's Kingdom had now been disconnected.
Now no one knew whether the God's Kingdom was still functioning normally, or whether the order of the Underworld was still maintained. Søren was not ready to leave everything to the Servants of Death. Since he was already here, he might as well take these souls away himself. These souls were all brave warriors. They did not retreat until the moment they died.
They were a group of excellent seeds.
A ray of light appeared.
Søren's figure disappeared, and the next moment, he appeared in the temple.
In his palm were ten souls whose memories had faded. Death would gradually erase the memories of mortals. Only the most unforgettable memories could be left behind after reincarnation.
Under normal circumstances.
A mortal could only retain one percent of their memories after death.
"My Lord! … "
The figure of the high priestess appeared outside the temple. She bowed slightly to Søren.
Søren turned his head and looked at her, then nodded gently. He spread out his hand and raised these souls, and then merged them into the light of the temple.
The God's Kingdom was not stable.
In this case, Søren was not suitable to send these souls into the God's Kingdom.
So he planned to use his divine power to open up a small space in the temple, and then temporarily settle these souls in it. Relying on the power of faith gathered by the temple, these souls would gradually change. If their faith was firm, these souls would transform into the accompanying petitioners of the temple. They would attach themselves to the temple in the form of spirits until Søren found a place to settle them again.
As for Mano's soul, he would merge with the light of the temple and transform into a higher level [Heroic Spirit].
If he could merge with Søren's divine power.
Then this soul would gradually evolve into a [Holy Spirit]. In the future, it would be possible for him to become the God's Emissary to receive souls for Søren.
