Chapter 1406 1406: Why can I…?
I didn't get to say anything to Solista as the light started to suppress the Relic of Destruction completely.
It didn't take long for the black corruption energy to disappear under the suppression of the white light.
But before it completely disappeared, the God of Destruction once again said, "You won't be able to win in the end. Even your prophecy won't do anything against me."
In the end, the black corruption energy disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Solista's weary voice said, "Take it now and hide it before they can do anything else."
I didn't get a chance to ask her anything as the light from the Mark of God disappeared. However, there was a layer of light that remained around the black orb that was the Relic of Destruction.
This was the same layer of light that had been released by the Mark of God in the first place, the one that had suppressed the black corruption energy.
With the way that it surrounded the orb, it seemed like it was some kind of seal that was keeping the power of the Relic of Destruction in check.
That was what the gods intended to do in the first place, but it really left a strange taste in my mouth with the way that Solista appeared all of a sudden and then disappeared just as quickly.
It really didn't give me any time to react to the things that I heard.
After a long moment of silence, I reached out with the hand that had the Mark of God on it towards the Relic of Destruction.
This time, I was using the Mark of God as a shield against the Relic of Destruction.
But it turned out that it was unnecessary since the Relic of Destruction had been completely sealed because of the layer of light around it.
There was no reaction at all from the Relic of Destruction when my hand made contact with it. Even the layer of light that was around it providing the seal for the Relic of Destruction didn't seem to react.
It was as if the Relic of Destruction had been completely sealed by the layer of light around it.
In that case, it should be fine to take it.
But the moment that I grabbed it, there was this strange look that appeared on my face.
That was because the moment that I picked up the Relic of Destruction, there was this strange feeling that filled me.
It was as if there was some kind of connection that was formed with the Relic of Destruction.
This wasn't a connection that I personally had with the Relic of Destruction, but rather it was a connection that I could feel through the Mark of God on my hand. It was as if I could create a channel between my mind and the Relic of Destruction with the Mark of God.
I couldn't help feeling curious about this connection that I had with this Relic of Destruction, so I started playing around with it.
I found that the connection that was formed was because of the layer of light that was around the Relic of Destruction.
It reacted to the Mark of God that was on my hand.
It even seemed like I could control the layer of light that was around the Relic of Destruction with the connection that I had to it.
Naturally, I couldn't help feeling curious about this connection when I felt it, so I took this chance to see what it could do.
The moment that I controlled the layer of light that was around it, I found that the Relic of Destruction suddenly started releasing this strange energy. It was only after it condensed a bit that I realized what kind of energy this was.
And seeing this energy coming from the Relic of Destruction, I started to panic.
I quickly released the control that I had over the layer of light and it closed up the gaps that had been formed. This immediately sealed the energy that came from the Relic of Destruction and that energy disappeared without a trace.
But as it disappeared, I couldn't help looking at the Relic of Destruction with a strange look.
The moment that I had controlled the light around the Relic of Destruction to weaken and it released that energy, I could tell that I was actually able to control that energy.
"Why can I do this? Why would they give me this kind of ability?" I couldn't help asking myself, but there really was no answer to these questions.
The energy that had been released by the Relic of Destruction was nothing other than the corruption energy, or it was better to say that it was the destruction energy that was released.
But the fact that I could control it…
It seemed that Solista did some kind of tampering with the seal around the Relic of Destruction without telling anyone. And it seemed that she had bound that tempering of hers with the Mark of God on my hand.
If anyone else were to see this, there was no doubt that they would think that I was under the control of the God of Destruction. Or they would even think that I was working with the God of Destruction.
At this point, it was hard to convince others against this since the image of the God of Destruction had been set.
Only there was a conflicted feeling that filled me as well.
The power of the corruption energy, the power of the destruction energy was one that had already been shown very clearly. Being able to control it was certainly a very powerful weapon for the future since this Relic of Destruction was a very powerful tool.
It seemed that I just had to think about how to use this…
"Holy son, is everything alright?"
When the popes asked this, I snapped back out of my thoughts and turned to look at them before shaking my head to say, "It's nothing. Let's go back."
They raised a brow to look at me, but they eventually nodded in agreement.
