In short, at this point, there are only four "Root Divinity" left.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" suddenly became less impatient.
It stopped, its gaze still fixed on the four test tubes. But its eyes were slightly unfocused, clearly not paying attention, as if it were thinking about something.
There was almost no other sound inside the hall.
Even the maids held their breath, waiting for its next move. They were simply pondering the reasons behind the "Soul of the Moon Goddess's" behavior, wondering why it had stopped contemplating.
Dak was equally curious about this.
However, he did not try to peek into the thoughts of the "soul of the moon goddess" through the connection of spiritual bonds.
His past experience told him that the "soul of the moon goddess" was likely in a state of "enlightenment".
From fake to real, from magical spirit to god.
The process involved cannot be simply completed by absorbing "root divinity".
There must be some more obvious change in the underlying logic. Dark believes that the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" is likely comprehending some kind of rule to provide a foundation for the forging of divinity.
His idea was not wrong.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" gradually emitted divine fluctuations of varying strengths. These uncontrollable and irregular fluctuations meant that a new kind of power was being generated within its body.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" remained in contemplation for about three minutes. Only after three minutes did it raise its hand again and reach for the fourth test tube.
The "Original Divinity" in the test tube turned into a silvery-white liquid, rippling slightly under the radiance.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" held the test tube up to its eyes, carefully observing the ripples of the liquid. After a slight moment of distraction, it pulled out the cork and continued absorbing the liquid.
As the "Original Divinity" in the test tube was gradually inhaled, its gaze became clearer and clearer, and the radiance emanating from it became closer and closer to the purest moonlight.
The fourth branch of "Root Divinity" has been absorbed.
The progress of forging the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" has increased from 90% to 93%!
The increase in progress at three points, relative to the previous test tube, has decreased slightly. There are three test tubes and seven points of progress remaining.
Such a rate of decline immediately gives people the feeling that it is impossible to fill the gap.
Alvette frowned. Claire also frowned in thought.
The maids huddled together, whispering among themselves, all with a premonition that the progress would eventually stop at 98 or 99 percent.
That was the most regrettable outcome.
Even though we were just a tiny bit away from 100%, we couldn't fill the gap, so we had to move our hopes to the next round.
One complaint leads to another.
One instance of dissatisfaction leads to another.
Next time, next time, over and over again, forever next time. Almost instinctively, Dak thought of Pinduoduo's tricks, and his expression turned slightly unpleasant.
If it were Pinduoduo, if it didn't work today, they could try again next time. Perhaps each time the progress of forging a divine essence would drop from a percentage to a thousandth. That would lead to another endless cycle of filling the gaps, which would be truly terrifying!
However, the increased progress in forging the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" did give him a premonition that such a situation might occur.
The fifth test tube.
This time, the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" did not stop contemplating life. After digesting the contents, she reached out and took the next test tube.
This fifth "Root Divinity" radiates an unchanging light. She pulls out the cork and sees the moonlight shining through, absorbing the "Root Divinity" in the test tube as if absorbing the ocean of moonlight.
Once this test tube is absorbed, only the last two tubes remain.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" gazed at the last two test tubes, and her right hand instinctively reached out. But her expression suddenly froze, and the divine radiance emanating from her body rippled rapidly.
Its eyes flickered with an uncertain light, and a crescent moon seemed to appear behind its head.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess IV" magic card in Dark's hand suddenly glowed faintly, as if it were about to be forcibly summoned.
All these signs indicate that the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" is moving towards a special stage.
At this point, as a mage, he should theoretically provide more assistance.
But the "fundamental divinity" from those few test tubes was all the assistance he could provide. If the "fundamental divinity" wasn't enough, he couldn't very well strip away his own "fundamental divinity" and give it to them, could he?
Putting aside the fact that he doesn't have any "root divinity" at all, even if he did, he wouldn't belong to the "Moon God" lineage.
A moment later, the fifth "Root Divinity" was also completely digested. The progress of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" divine essence forging increased from 93% to 96%.
It's still a 3% increase!
"Soul of the Moon Goddess" quickly obtained the sixth "Original Divinity" and swallowed it all in one gulp.
The silvery-white liquid flowed into its mouth, and suddenly a sound like the surging of tides appeared in the air.
Moonlight, as vast as the sea, appeared beneath the feet of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess," and the shadow of a bright moon peeked out from within it, slowly rising upwards.
It floated in the sea of light, a crescent moon condensing behind its head, already resembling a true god. However, the progress of its divine creation was only increasing from 96% to 98%.
This time, it only increased by two percent!
And the only remaining "source divinity" is that last one!
"Could the last one only grow by one percent?"
Suddenly someone blurted out, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The maid realized her mistake immediately after blurting it out and quickly covered her mouth, remaining silent.
In a challenging environment like this, where breaking through constraints is difficult, the biggest fear is losing morale. As the saying goes, "One effort is enough, but the momentum wanes, and the effort is exhausted." Once morale drops, what was once a strong charge will become impossible.
At this point, any unnecessary obstacle could become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
The maid sensed the tense atmosphere, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Just then, the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" stopped.
It floated in the air, slowly opening its arms, palms facing upwards, tilting its neck back, and looking upwards. The reflection of the bright moon, which had been floating in the sea of moonlight, rose even higher, slowly rising above the sea level, with only a last wisp still hooked in the sea. This seemed to be a manifestation of the progress of its divine creation.
Ninety-eight percent remain, leaving only the final two percent. It seems as if a single push could propel it to break free of its constraints and ascend to godhood. But alas, the fuel for that push is almost exhausted!
The eyes of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" suddenly opened, and ripples immediately emanated from its heart, spreading out in arcs of light, like the center of the Milky Way.
The magic card in Dark's hand suddenly became scorching hot, and then released an extremely intense radiance.
In that instant, he understood and cast the normal summoning spell.
"In the name of Darkdemon, a magical summoning—[Moon God (Divine Armament)]!"
As the closing words fell, moonlight immediately burst forth from the face of that magic card.
The moonlight, like a silver rainbow, shone upon the "Soul of the Moon Goddess".
Streaks of silver light converged, transforming into mirror-like armor around him. Mirror-like armor, the artifact of the Moon Goddess!
The crescent moon behind its head solidified instantly, transforming into the "Moon God Mirror Shield".
"Arm up, evolve!"
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" suddenly lowered its head, and all the armor pressed tightly against its body.
The light of evolution shines brightly.
The maids covered their eyes, their vision slipping through their fingers.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess," which had evolved into the [Moon Goddess (Divine Armament)], reached out and took the last test tube.
Golden light suddenly shone from Darkdemon's eyes, and the "Eye of Truth" was activated.
Despite the intense light, he continued to stare at the "Soul of the Moon Goddess." His magical power continued to flow into the magic card in his hand as he monitored the "Soul of the Moon Goddess's" current state.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" popped off the cork, brought the test tube to its lips, tilted its head back sharply, and inhaled the "Original Divinity" of the last test tube.
The silvery-white liquid flowed down the throat into the body and was quickly absorbed as it flowed.
It then discarded the last test tube, but the test tube itself seemed to float slowly toward the table as if it had no weight.
The progress of forging the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" has begun to increase.
The information returned via the magical feedback.
Chapter 1698 The Forging of Darkdemon's Divinity - The Moon God! (2)
Dark saw that the progress of the "Soul of the Moon" divine creation had increased from 98% to 99%.
Then, it froze completely there and never moved again!
"call!"
He took a deep breath, forcibly controlling his outburst of emotions.
Between 99% and 100%, there is an insurmountable chasm called 1%.
But the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" has not given up.
Rather, it seems that it didn't even pay attention to that 99% figure.
Dark needs to observe changes in values to determine its state. But it doesn't need to do so itself.
Numerical values only reflect its current surface state. No one knows its true nature better than itself. The progress of divinity forging is still increasing.
It's just broken down to one in a thousand, one in ten thousand, and one in a hundred thousand.
It could sense that growth had not stopped.
But if you give up, you might really stop!
Deep down, the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" had always harbored a question.
Can a divine personality forged solely by absorbing the "root divinity" of other gods truly be considered its own?
Is it destined to be a counterfeit from the start? Must it ultimately be nothing more than a tattered rag doll cobbled together from scraps of here and there?
It actually finds this kind of thing very unacceptable.
However, absorbing the original divinity and forging a divine personality is the natural path it takes to become a magical spirit.
It cannot be said that it was planned by Dark. Rather, it is simply such a being.
It knew that it could only do that; to fulfill its long-cherished wish and become a true god, it had to bear many things it was unwilling to bear.
So it buried that discomfort, that "unacceptability," deep within itself, relentlessly rushing forward along its predetermined path, but upon reaching the crossroads, it suddenly became lost. Is it really okay to continue like this?
Is this cobbled-together divine status her ultimate wish? Is she truly destined to become only that kind of "Moon Goddess"? Becoming the "Moon Goddess" was once her ultimate goal. But if things continue like this, it truly will become her end.
She followed Dak and saw gods who were at a higher level, such as the Twelve Gods.
She has always been the kind of person with strong ambition.
She only managed to become a god through a patchwork of efforts; that was not her wish.
Receiving education, learning knowledge, and understanding morality are not about layering armor.
Her ambition never faded; she longed for a view from a higher vantage point!
The process of forging a divine character should be a process of learning and progress. Drawing on the strengths of others is not a problem.
The problem lies in piecing things together haphazardly and forcibly stitching them together. What she needs is to absorb the essence, to use it for my own purposes!
A sudden enlightenment of the mind, a sublimation of the soul.
The forging of the divine essence evoked a strong resonance.
Something that had been gestating within the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" finally broke free.
Dark suddenly noticed that the progress of the godhood forging displayed on the magic card in his hand suddenly jumped from 99% to 100% at that moment!
The divine forging progress is 100% complete! Moon Goddess! Moon Goddess!
"Splash!"
The sea of moonlight, which had been gradually calming down, suddenly began to surge.
The waves roll and the tides surge.
The moon's reflection, which had been tightly held by the seawater, suddenly exerted its strength and broke free from the hook in that instant!
The bright moon rises in the sky, and the night is as dark as day.
In that instant, everyone and everything in the entire hall was bathed in the purest moonlight.
The mirrored armor of "Soul of the Moon" reflects moonlight, making it an unbearably dazzling presence.
