Cthulhu Gonfalon

After he heard the news, Sui Xiong went to meet Arcaian at once. This new Legendary Master hadn't left his underground research room. Instead of sitting on the ground and meditating, Arcaian was busy now.

"How time flies!" After greeting him, he said with strong emotion to Sui Xiong, "Nine years have passed during my meditation! Look! Your Majesty! Before I started meditating, I had sealed these research samples with magic. Now the seal is still here, but it's covered in a thin layer of dust. Thankfully, the research room is underground, and there is less air circulation, or I'm afraid my notebook would have been buried in dust."

"Yes, how time flies!" Sui Xiong was touched by his emotion and couldn't help sighing. "I still remember when I first landed on the ground, and now several decades have passed…"

After a short while, they went back to their business.

"Are you sure of becoming a God?" Sui Xiong asked seriously. "To be honest, I think you should make more preparations. It isn't very easy to do that."

"It's not so easy for others, but that's not true for me," Arcaian replied with a smile, and his face was full of confidence. "In fact, I'm able to become a God at anytime I like. During nearly ten years of meditation, the medical knowledge that I was learning has been widely spread to all the countries in the Main Plane, so I've already gotten enough practice, feedback, and human recognition."

"Really? Then why haven't you started?" Sui Xiong asked curiously.

"I needed some adjustments to make everything perfect," Arcaian answered. "That's why I contacted you. According to my estimate, this time, I might have a lot of trouble."

Sui Xiong was perplexed at that, so he asked cautiously, "What do you mean by big trouble? What is that?"

Arcaian smiled and answered carelessly, "I'm afraid that many Gods and demons that represent plagues, illness, and difficulties will come to make trouble for me."

"Is that just 'big trouble'? That's a disaster!" Sui Xiong said.

"Actually, when Wall became a God, there was also a lot of trouble," Arcaian replied with a smile. "It was just that he completed the whole thing suddenly, so others didn't have time to take any action. But I think you must remember the violent reaction of the Master of Mystery after that."

Sui Xiong sighed. Of course he did.

At that time, if Sui Xiong hadn't attacked the God's Kingdom of the Master of Mystery with his Super Electromagnetic Gun, it wouldn't have ended so easily. It probably could have developed into a full-scale war between the Church of Master of Mystery and the Church of Void Mask.

Thus, it was a reasonable to say that nuclear bombs and guns had helped to maintain peace and truth to some degree.

"Luckily, this time, your enemies don't have too many followers." Sui Xiong sighed and said with a smile, "At least I don't have to worry about a religious war breaking out between the mortals."

"Actually, if we contact those kind Gods, we'll find more helpers," Arcaian suggested. "After all, for the kind Gods, it's good news that I can become a God. Even the patron saints of other clans would be on my side."

"But it'll be difficult to pay back others' favors." Sui Xiong sighed. "I want to avoid that if possible."

"But if just rely on us… I believe that Your Majesty is powerful and good at fighting, but no matter how powerful you are, you can't defeat them all by yourself," Arcaian argued. "Although it's difficult to pay back others' favosr, we have to do it this time."

Sui Xiong thought about it for a while and then shook his head. "No, we don't have to. You just hold the God Ceremony in the central playground of the Void City, and I'll show my avatar to help. In the Main Plane, I'll be able to kill whoever comes. I'll kill them all until more are too scared to come."

With that, Sui Xiong had a grim smile on his face. "Think about it carefully. I didn't show my real power for many years. This time is an opportunity. Others will take it as a deterrent, and it'll kill two birds with one stone. Thus, it will also make up for my loss."

"Your loss?" Arcaian was confused. "Will there be a great loss for you?"

"Not a great loss. I just have to give up something I've been working on." Sui Xiong sighed and explained to him about the Love Angel. "I planned to reinvent it as the God of Healing. However, since you want to become a God, I'll leave that clergy to you, and I'll transform the Love Angel into an Oracle; anyway, I won't have that kind of super-powerful Oracle now."

Arcaian listened carefully, frowned and thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes turned bright, and he came up with an idea.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea!" he said excitedly. "We can use that Love Angel as a cover!"

"A cover?" Sui Xiong was confused. He didn't understand what Arcaian was talking about.

"My clergy is medicine and medical care. Although there's something about Healing Spells in my clergy, it's not a key part." Arcaian thought about his idea carefully again and said with great confidence, "As for the Love Angel, and the God of Healing, its clergy includes Healing Spells. Strictly speaking, it's not in conflict with my beliefs. On the contrary, we'd be complementary to each other."

"That's right. But I have to protect you during the God Ceremony, so I don't have time to revive it."

"Why not think about it another way? The main reason that the God of Healing can't come back to life is that you can't help it construct the clergy of Healing Spells, but I can help you by separating the Healing Spell from my clergy. Although it's just a small part, you will be able to successfully construct a clergy from it."

Upon seeing Sui Xiong nodding slightly, Arcaian continued. "With the clergy and its own divinity, and the Divine Power you've given, the God of Healing will successfully be revived. After that, the attention of the Gods will surely be on him, making it a perfect time for me to become a God. In this way, even if some of the Gods suspect something and use their Divine Power to spy on us, they'll only be attracted by the revival of the God of Healing. Its revival will harm the evil Gods and demons to some degree, but still to a lesser extent than I do."

"I see. We'll take advantage of the revival of the God of Healing to attract their attention. The God of Healing isn't very powerful, so even if they find out, they won't care too much or take violent action. When you begin the God Ceremony, it'll be too late for them to take any action, since they won't have prepared well," Sui Xiong said excitedly. "Perhaps it won't stop them from starting trouble with you, but it can effectively prevent them from joining hands together in a fight. For me, as long as these guys don't come together at once, I can kill them all!"

Sui Xiong was happy at first, then couldn't help frowning again. "However, in this way, you'll lose the clergy of Healing Spell. That'd be a great loss."

"The core of my clergy is medicine, medical care, and physicians, and my original idea was to allow normal people who can't use spells to cure sickness and save patients." Arcaian laughed. "It definitely will have an impact on me if I lose the clergy of Healing Spell. It'll be a loss. But if it can help bring the God of Healing back to life, what I gain will outweigh the loss," Arcaian said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, in the end, the God of Healing is the one who's good at the Healing Spell. If he can manage to come back to life, we'll complement each other, and that will lead to a better effect than me taking control of the Healing Spell by myself. What's more, as far as I know, since the God of Healing died, the God of Healing's seat has been empty. Its revival will surely bring a great advantage to the clergy of Healing Spell. It'll be much better than anything I can do."

Sui Xiong nodded slightly, but he was still a little worried.

"So you have to give up a part of your clergy before you become a God. Will that hinder you?" Sui Xiong asked.

"Yes, but not seriously." Arcaian thought about it for a while and laughed suddenly. "No, I was wrong. Actually, it'll be a good thing for me."

"A good thing?"

"Yes. Instead of keeping the clergy of Healing Spell that I'm not good with, I'd better give it up and focus on medical techniques. That way, I can make sure that the clergy of medicine is occupied only by me, and it'll be impossible for others to share the human belief of this aspect with me in the future."

Arcaian's eyes were bright, showing great confidence. "Haha! Now, even if I don't help revive the God of Healing, I'll still give up the clergy of Healing Spell."

Sui Xiong was reassured and began to discuss the details with him.

Later, Sui Xiong went to Yorgaardman and discussed with him again.

Several days later, the news was sent out from the Church of Void Mask: His Majesty Void Mask has helped the God of Healing, who has been transformed into the Love Angel by the former Sun God, with reconstructing his clergy. This mid-level Divine Power will come back to life soon.
