Chapter 620: Enslaving a god

At that moment, three bright lights floated inside a lavish throne hall. The walls surrounding the three lights had high, stained glass windows of mesmerizing mosaics concealed by curtains adorned with intricate embroidery and jewels. The thousands of gems on the askew ceiling danced in the flickering light while the three lights looked down upon the marble floor of this grand hall. Their energy radiation was none like anyone the mortals have seen except Diana. Twenty-two years ago, these three witnessed Wulfric and Andreas performing the forbidden spell on Diana. The three of them thought they had closed the chapter of Dark Lord forever until yesterday. He didn't only return to this universe but also had the power to rival them as a Celestial being. Just a thought of the Dark Lord made these Skyhall Elders shiver to the core.

The three lights gradually lost their radiance, showing a silhouette inside each light.

"How could this be? We were there when the portal to the void realm opened. We saw Wulfric and Andreas sending the Dark Lord to earth. How could this happen? How is he here?" A white-haired woman clad in sky blue armor stepped out of the light. She was tall, stern, and radiated an aura of a warrior. Although she didn't carry a weapon in hand, she seemed like an embodiment of the word warrior. Yet, even a fierce warrior like her stuttered when talking about the Dark Lord. What they witnessed yesterday sent shivers running through their spines. What shocked them further was the Dark Lord sensed their presence.

"Something must have gone wrong with the ritual," a cold voice resonated in the hall as a short burly figure with a pot belly, thick long bushy beard, and long hair walked out of the light. Even after reaching the Celestial stage, the man couldn't stop excluding a drunken Viking vibe. Despite his status, the man only wore leather greaves and leather shoulder armor.

"We could ask Elidyr but oh wait, he's escaped from his imprisonment," This time, an elven man with haughtiness stepped out of the light. Sarcasm oozed out of his voice.

The three bright lights faded away, revealing their figures clearly. The warrior lady was a human, the burly man was a dwarf and finally, the sarcastic man was an elf.

"The arch angels are scouring the Akilan realm as we speak," the lady said.

"That's what you said a month ago," growled the dwarf.

"There is no need for any quarrel. In case you two have forgotten, we still have trump cards waiting to be used," the elf grinned.

True to his word, the elf waved his hand as two figures made of smoke appeared before them. Slowly, each smoky figure turned into a young woman. One figure wore armor set with a rounded helm and a faceguard. Attached to the forehead area was a crafted leather ornament piece shaped like a lion's mouth. The shoulders were oval, short, and quite large decorated with three big, curved wooden spikes on each side, lined up from back to front. She had a perfectly sculpted face, porcelain skin, and silky raven black hair.

The figure floating beside the black-haired girl was a petite, golden-haired girl, dressed in purple robes. She looked a couple of years younger than the black-haired girl as she still had a tinge of childness on her face. Both these figures remain still with their eyes closed.

Looking at the two figures, the human lady remained expressionless while the dwarf furrowed his busy brows.

"Yasmine Winston and Jennifer Voldigard," The elf hovered towards the figures he summoned. He grinned, looking at his handiwork. His hand went straight through their smokey figures when he moved his hand across their bodies.

"The God of Light only has two weaknesses," The elf raised two fingers,

"Family and love. With them, we can exploit his weaknesses," The elf smirked. Judging by the elf's look, the dwarf knew he had formed a long-time plan way before they actually agreed to clone two humans. Usually, the dwarf preferred to end the conflicts with his war hammer, but after taking a glance at the future, even he controlled his lust for battle and decided to be patient. The dwarf turned his head to see the lady remain calm as a lake. She didn't even bat an eye.

"This is how we beat the God of Light, Thorfinn Borgersson," The elf said, ridiculing the dwarf.

"Not by sending a bunch of shells to kill him," The elf chuckled again. Seeing the ridicule in the elf's voice, Thorfinn clenched his fist.

"At Least I did something. What were you doing? Sitting on your ass, plotting to get your hands on the holy maiden," Thorfinn growled.

Despite the dwarf's growl, the elf remained as playful as ever.

"What can I say? I like the thrill of the hunt,"

"Shut up both of you. We just saw the Dark Lord and you two are acting like nothing's happening," The lady raised her voice, shutting both of them. Then, she hovered towards Yasmine Winston and Jennifer Voldigard.

"Like it or not, The Dark Lord is here. Which means, we all failed to imprison him. Did you even bother to think about what's going to happen to our world?" asked the lady, looking at the dwarf and the elf. The images of the future they had seen flashed across their eyes. A universe without any light or happiness, a sky painted with red, and all races void of any will to do anything other than serving the Dark Lord. Those were just a few glimpses.

"As much as I hate to succumb to this, we have to go with Devdan's plan," The lady looked at the elf. Although Thorfinn firmly believed fighting the Dark Lord and killing him was the only way to permanently fix the problem, he couldn't protest against Devdan. After all, the elf didn't protest when he sent his men after Noah a few months ago. But unfortunately, his men failed miserably. Thorfinn hadn't expected Noah to be that strong. Other than destroying a human restaurant, his men achieved nothing.

"But Devdan, we cannot kill Noah. not after we have seen how powerful the Dark Lord is. He may be the only one who could stop him, just as the prophecy said,"

"So what do you want me to do? Send my two perfect clones to him and pleasure him on his bed?" The elf rolled his eyes, bothering not to tone down the sarcasm in his voice.

"No," Ignoring Devad's sarcasm, the lady raised her brow like a sword.

"He is a god. Unlike us, his body and soul would go through metamorphoses while breaking through to the Half Immortal stage. Lady Qin Jiu called it stepping into godhood. Once he steps into godhood, the odds of us killing him will plummet. But reaching godhood comes with a price. During his breakthrough, he would be as powerless as a fish in a barrel. We have to take advantage of that time," The Lady declared.

Her goal was not to kill Noah nor to stop him from reaching godhood. The real goal was to ensure Noah would serve the Skyhall as his sister. After living their lives as gods in this universe, none of the elders were willing to serve anyone else, including the God of Light or the Holy Maiden herself.

"I assume you have a plan, including my clones," Devdan asked her.

"Do you remember the forbidden spell we used on Diana to alter her memories?" she asked as the dwarf and elf slowly nodded their heads.

"Our runemasters had altered the spell to my preferences. Now we could use the spell on Noah during his ascension to godhood to alter his memories. Once we succeed, the god of light will be our weapon and a slave," Finally, a grin emerged on her face. Just the thought of controlling a god gave a certain pleasure despite the situation.

"That still doesn't help us locate the Dark Lord. Besides, what if he already knows what we did to him and his family?" asked Thorfinn.

"If he did, we wouldn't be here talking to each other," Devdan said.

"No more trying to kill Noah from now on, Thorfinn. Instead, send him a few gifts to make him stronger. He would find the Dark Lord for us. We will end whoever hails victorious in the final battle. The Skyhall doesn't need a god to serve," The lady turned around and walked away from Thorfinn and Devdan.

"We are the gods," she exclaimed before vanishing into thin air.

After she left the place, Thorfinn turned his focus to the two human clones before him.

"So what the hell happened to the real Yasmine Winston and Jennifer Voldigard?" asked Thorfinn although he had a good idea about their fate knowing Devdan.

"You cannot put two souls in one body, Thorfinn," Said Devdan nonchalantly.

"Stop your bullshit. You killed them,"

"Killing is a strong word. They sacrificed themselves for the greater good. Isn't that what we all want?"

Thorfinn felt like coughing up blood. He had lived for hundreds of years, yet he had never seen such a selfish person like Devdan in his life. So hearing the elf talking about sacrificing for the greater good sounded like bullshit to him.

Devdan on the other hand just ignored the dwarf's glare.

"You heard the lady, no more trying to kill Noah, Thorfinn. Keep your dogs on leash," Devdan patted Thorfinn on the shoulder. He then just waved at the smoky figures as they slowly vanished into thin air. Sometimes, Thorfinn wished he could just kill Devdan. Although they had reached the Celestial stage and lived for thousands of years, their enmity ran deep. The only thing that kept them from killing each other was their common enemy, the Dark Lord. Otherwise, each elder would have plotted to kill the other and succeeded a long time ago.

"Think about it, Devdan, I am not a smartass like you, but even I could see if the spell failed to mess with Noah's head, you would end up paying for what you did to his cousin and his sweetheart. So pray to your elven gods for the spell to work. Otherwise, you'd wish my ways had worked," with one last grin, Thorfinn disappeared from the room as well.

After they had all left, Devdan waved his hand again. This time, a silhouette resembling Rowena appeared before him.

"When everything's over, you and I will rule this universe together, darling. You and me…" Devdan grinned with eyes full of lust. He had never lusted over a girl in his entire life, let alone a human girl. But something about her made Devdan long for her like crazy.

"Soon, I will get you,"
