Chapter 1588 The price of betrayal(2/2)
As the most powerful person under the starry sky, the high priest of the undead, he still cannot touch the threshold of becoming a god, let alone Edwood, who is just a lich.
Although Edwood is also very powerful, there are many people in this world who are more powerful than him. The dragons or Lester present are not afraid of Edwood one on one. He is far from qualified even as a demigod.
It is ridiculous for a cat to say that he can succeed in something that a lion cannot yet do without making people laugh out loud.
The High Priest of the Undead sneered and said: "I didn't expect you to be so... arrogant. Do you think any cat or dog can become a god?"
Edwood glanced at Lorraine and Vera, and said solemnly: "I have seen Vigaris."
The High Priest of the Undead raised his head and glanced at Edwood, with a very surprised expression on his face.
"He made me understand a truth." Edwood said quietly: "Power, the most powerful power, is the essence of the world.
I can't stay a lich and a lackey forever."
Edwood stared at the High Priest of the Undead with a pair of green eyes, and said in a spiteful tone: "Don't think we don't know, our phylacteries are actually in your hands all the time."
The High Priest of the Undead hesitated for a moment, then sneered and said proudly: "Your life was created by me and must belong to me. You should live for me and die for me."
Lorraine and Lester looked at each other and listened curiously to the conversation between Edwood and the High Priest of the Undead. This was gossip within the undead. The opportunity was rare. After this time, there would be no chance.
Edwood snorted coldly and shouted sharply: "That's not what you said when you asked us to donate our souls.
Moreover, for the past two thousand years, you have been raising us like pigs, extracting the essence of soul power from our life boxes and using it to make yourself a god."
The High Priest of the Undead stared at Edwood and said confidently: "There is no free lunch in the world. I have given you eternal life, and this is your due contribution."
The prince sighed secretly beside him: In anger, the high priest of the undead finally tore off the mask on his face, revealing the ugly face of the evil capitalist underneath.
"Yes," Edwood sneered and said, "But when you keep extracting our souls, we can never become stronger. It is you who restrict our power.
If I want to become stronger, I must first get rid of your control."
The High Priest of the Undead was silent for a moment and sneered: "Your ambition exceeds your reason, Edwood, how can you become a god just by yourself?"
Edwood laughed, his tone full of confidence and mockery of the High Priest of the Undead, and he said decisively: "I have found the right path. The right path that you have spent two thousand years not finding."
The High Priest of the Undead was shocked—even if he knew that Edwood had betrayed and raped him, he was not so surprised.
He stared directly at Edwood and said in disbelief: "You said you found the right path?"
Edwood's eyes flashed with command, and his tone was enthusiastic as he said, "I'm not afraid to let you know that this was given to me by humans."
The High Priest of the Undead was even more surprised, because this was not logical at all. If humans had mastered the path to becoming a god, there would be no reason to hand it over to Edwood.
Such a treasure must be hidden tightly so that no one can know about it.
That is to become a god, to become a god who will live forever, live as long as the heaven and the earth, and shine with the sun and the moon. No one can resist this kind of desire, and will definitely try their best to get it.
If the High Priest of the Undead had known about it in advance, he would have snatched it at all costs.
Edwood glanced at Lorraine and said with a smile: "Yes, it was Marshal Lorraine in front of you who gave them to me."
Lorraine grinned, nodded to Edwood, and said with a smile: "You're welcome."
I snickered secretly in my heart, exchanging two junior high school level physics and chemistry books for the life of a demigod undead high priest, this deal is really a good deal.
But having said that, although what is written on it is only nine years of compulsory education in later generations, it is enough to shock the eyes of all mages in this era. The simplest point is, who would have thought that he would live on a ball?
Edwood recalled: "I once got something from the Human Alchemy Research Institute, something about Force research..."
Lorraine curled her lips and thought to herself: Are you trying to rob us? And what you robbed was the bait we deliberately left behind.
That was a trap specially set by the Alchemy Research Institute. The information in it was half true and half false. If anyone stole it and then studied it according to the above content, he would surely spend a lot of money but get nothing.
No one expected that the hook used to catch foreign spies would be bitten by the lich Edwood.
The High Priest of the Undead frowned. Of course, he still remembered the information Edwood snatched from Lorraine, which described some strange machinery.
After the lichs studied it in depth, they told him that it was of no use since it was missing the most important part, so the High Priest of the Undead forgot about it.
Now it seems that it was Edwood himself who hid some of the most important information about the Force.
Edwood shouted loudly: "From my understanding of the Force, I see the path to becoming a god, which is the avenue leading to the truth of the world.
Far more effective than your method of extracting souls."
The High Priest of the Undead snorted coldly and said, "Is it just you?"
Edwood bowed slightly and said with a proud smile: "Yes, it's just me. I also want to thank you for giving me endless life. Although you are only doing it for yourself, I still want to thank you.
Give me enough time to study and understand the Force. In five hundred or one thousand years, I will always be able to understand its mysteries."
The High Priest of the Undead frowned and said: "I know you, Edwood, and I know that you are a crazy careerist. If you had a way to become a god, you would have been hiding long ago.
Thinking about it, the part you got was incomplete, so you wanted to rape me..."
