The power of the Shadow Lord was very powerful.
As one of the old gods that had existed for thousands of years, the Shadow Lord's clergies were Shadow, Theft, and Rogue.
The power of these three clergies was very compatible with Søren. Needless to say, the Shadow Lord's clergy was naturally very powerful. Theft and Rogue were even completely complementary to the Rogue clergy. So Søren absorbed the power of these three clergies very easily. Among them, the Rogue clergy was directly integrated into the Rogue clergy because Rogue was originally a basic profession in the Rogue class. As for the Theft clergy, it was completely an extension of the clergy. Søren could integrate this clergy without any difficulty.
Next was the power of the Shadow Lord's domain.
As a cunning god, the Shadow Lord had always been stealing the power of other domains.
Why did the Lady of the Night want to kill him?
Not only because the Shadow Lord had the [Shadow] clergy, but more importantly, he also had the [Darkness] domain.
So why did the Queen of Spiders also want to kill the Shadow Lord?
The reason was simple.
In addition to the [Darkness] domain, the Shadow Lord also had the [Crafty] domain and the [Luck] domain.
Incredible.
In fact, as early as the birth of the Twin of Destiny, many gods had stolen the power of the Twin of Destiny. There were also many gods who had the [Luck] domain.
As for the [Crafty] domain, it was needless to say.
This was a powerful battle domain. The Queen of Spiders had always wanted to make up for her [Crafty] domain and directly promote it to the level of a clergy.
Now that Søren had mastered the [Crafty] domain, he could directly remove the curse effect on the high priest when he went back.
Other than that.
The Shadow Lord also had the [Evil] domain, but the power of this domain was not absorbed by Søren.
The reason was simple.
Eugene the Divine was even more evil than Søren!
Princess Royal's alignment was [Neutral Good], while Søren's alignment was [Lawful Evil]. The Shadow Lord's alignment was [Neutral Evil], and the Divine – Eugene's alignment was [Neutral Evil]. The original Eugene should be very close to [Lawful Evil], but after absorbing the power of the Lesser Demon Lord, his alignment had begun to deviate towards [Chaotic Evil].
In other words.
Eugene was more compatible with the power of the [Evil] Domain than Søren. In terms of the degree of evil, Søren should be around 50 points, while Eugene had slaughtered a large number of half-elves and started many wars. Therefore, Eugene's evil deviation should be more than 300 points.
There was no doubt that Eugene was much more evil than Søren!
In that case …
Eugene's compatibility with the [Evil] realm was much higher than Soran's. The same part of the power that belonged to the [Evil] realm was naturally transferred to Eugene.
Eugene's harvest was also very rich!
It wasn't just the power of divinity and domain. More importantly, with the death of the Shadow Lord, a part of his divinity had been transferred to Eugene along with the Evil Domain.
He was now only one step away from becoming a god with the priesthood of Half-Orc!
…
Clang.
Following the death of the Shadow Lord, the first thing Søren did was to throw out [Pale Justice].
"Whoosh!"
Søren stood still and took a deep breath. He then looked at his palm, which was already charred black. The battle didn't last long, but his palm was severely burned by the holy power. [Pale Justice] was much more powerful than the Holy Avenger. It was also less tolerant of evil. Søren was constantly receiving damage from it, and he was losing more than 10 holy damage every second. If the battle had dragged on any longer, he would have been heavily injured by this sword.
The surroundings were dead silent.
There was no time to talk. Although the three of them had successfully killed the Shadow Lord, Eugene was already in a state of near death.
The situation was a bit strange.
Princess Royal's expression seemed to be a bit hesitant. She had been silently observing Søren's expression.
Eugene's expression was a bit more anxious. Her heart was pierced by the Shadow Lord during the battle. Although she was able to kill the Shadow Lord in the end, her strength was now less than 30%.
In other words, Eugene was now very weak!
As a tragic historical figure, Eugene's lifespan was about to reach its end.
However, the Avatar Crisis gave her an important opportunity. That was, she could seize this opportunity to become a god and completely get rid of the limit of her lifespan.
Now, the Shadow Lord was dead.
As long as Eugene was given some time, she could successfully become a god. But the premise was that she was still alive.
The atmosphere became very strange.
Although no one spoke, they all realized one thing.
That was, the contract between Søren and Eugene had been completed. At this time, if Søren turned hostile, it would be easy to kill Eugene, whose heart was severely injured and was about to die.
Eugene didn't speak.
As a legendary figure who struggled from the bottom to the present, although she was now seriously injured and dying, she didn't express her allegiance or other intentions to beg Søren to let her go.
She just waited quietly, waiting to see how Søren would deal with her, who was now seriously injured and dying!
Eugene had her own pride.
She had led the Half-Orcs all the way to the present, and she was undoubtedly a strong person with strong beliefs!
Søren was also facing a choice at this moment.
Kill Eugene.
Let Eugene go.
If he killed Eugene, there was almost no difficulty now. He could get a lot of Slaughter EXP and take away a lot of divinity and divinity, including the evil realm that had just been absorbed by Eugene. However, in this way, Søren would also go back on his original promise. Although the effect of the contract had been completed after killing the Shadow Lord, he would have to pay the price of a little shift in alignment. But this price was completely incomparable to the gain. Killing Eugene could make Søren continue to improve his power.
Time passed little by little.
Søren didn't hesitate for too long. He slowly walked toward Eugene. When the old and determined Half-Orc in front of him saw him approaching, he obviously became nervous and could not help but clench the white bone spear with divine power.
It was impossible to say that she was not worried.
If Søren went back on his promise at this time, then all of Eugene's efforts would be in vain!
— — "Greater Restoration!"
Søren gave Eugene the answer with action. He did not launch an attack, but used the remaining divine power to cast Greater Restoration on Eugene.
Of course, it was easy to kill Eugene at this time.
But!
Søren was also a man with his own beliefs.
He had his own bottom line, and his promise was more effective than the devil's contract! Since he had promised to cooperate with Eugene, he would never break his promise!
Søren chose to give up.
He gave up the temptation of a lot of Slaughter EXP and the power of divinity and divinity in Eugene.
He chose to follow his promise.
Because he was a man with a bottom line, even as a god, he maintained his own principles.
He would not kill Eugene.
At least not now. Maybe in the future, the two would have conflicts in the Avatar Crisis, causing Søren and Eugene to fight again, but at least he would never kill Eugene now.
Because this was what he had promised!
At this moment, Søren seemed to have gained a kind of sublimation. This kind of improvement was not in power, but in spirit and faith!
He resisted the temptation of the power increase brought by killing Eugene.
This kind of spiritual and faith combination made Søren feel extraordinary! It was as if the spirit had been sublimated to a certain extent, and then merged with something very mysterious.
At this moment, a row of data appeared:
"Law Fusion! … "
"You have gained some information about the [Order] domain! … "
…
All of this happened at the moment when Søren gave up on killing Eugene.
A row of data suddenly appeared. Søren had gained information about the [Order] domain, and Princess Royal, who had been silently observing him not far away, could not help but smile.
No matter what.
Even if she hated Eugene, she did not want Søren to suddenly kill him at this time.
Because this kind of behavior was not what she wanted to see!
…
