Chapter 983 - 983 982 Containers and Divine Pattern

Chapter 983: Chapter 982: Containers and Divine Pattern Chapter 983: Chapter 982: Containers and Divine Pattern Long before Han Dong participated in the “God-Chooser Examination”, he had learned about the other High Priests through Terror Source.

Inside the pyramid were other High Priests who either defied the Pharaoh or held a neutral stance, just like him… After all, the nature of the City of Gods was such, putting people with corresponding abilities in corresponding positions.

Initially, over ninety percent of the High Priests harbored thoughts of replacing the Pharaoh.

However, all High Priests who attempted to challenge him failed without exception… after a prolonged period, as everyone recognized the strength of the current Pharaoh, the number of people harboring such thoughts dropped from ninety percent to twenty percent.

Among this twenty percent was Meat himself.

…

Despite being enveloped in fat,

his brain ratio was also far higher than that of ordinary people.

The reason he did not converse with Han Dong at all, merely pummeling the latter continuously… was solely because Meat saw the situation as not favoring Han Dong, or rather, the current Han Dong was neither worthy nor sufficient to make him change his stance.

Not until he observed three points:

1. The fight in the [Colosseum] had been raging for half an hour.

Logically, the “Eye of Horus” should have been able to see the situation here, but the pyramid’s support troops were still nowhere to be seen. This indicated that Han Dong must have set up measures in secret to keep the battle free of external influences.

2. Han Dong’s attitude was quite sincere, much better than the current Pharaoh’s at least.

3. And the most important point.

The death of Glory Menis, who was not only the Pharaoh’s devoted follower but also similarly powerful.

As a High Priest, Meat was acutely aware of Menis’s special ability; due to the effect of Photonization, Menis could be considered among the top in terms of survival skills among all the High Priests.

However, Han Dong’s subordinate was able to execute Menis on the spot.

With these three points combined, Meat changed his stance.

“Menis is dead, now you may speak,” he said.

Han Dong slowly climbed up from a large pit, grasping one side of his nose and exhaling forcefully.

A stream of blood accompanied by shattered cartilage flew out from his nostrils, which made Han Dong feel much better.

Then he spoke leisurely, “I merely want to request both of you to join my ranks… My rebellion will originate from the civilian district, and I also hope the two of you could use this [Colosseum] as the center to brandish the banner of overthrowing slavery and help me win the hearts of the people.”

The two.

Besides Meat, included the one currently engaged in battle, Execution-Sepp.

Upon hearing this, Sepp immediately sidestepped quickly to distance himself from Pyramid Head and stared at Meat with a solemn expression, “Gute… are you planning to rebel?”

Meat, however, responded with composed assurance to his companion’s question, “Not a rebellion, but a renovation. However, I have not completely decided yet…”

As he spoke, Meat once again turned the topic towards Han Dong: “We will assist you fully once more in ascending to power, what can you offer us in return?”

At this, Han Dong gestured for a moment’s patience.

At that moment, a colorful mass of material descended from the top of the [Colosseum] and swiftly entered Han Dong’s brain.

A succession of colors flickered across Han Dong’s pupils, conveying ‘screen-level’ information in this manner.

“Just now a friend of mine intercepted a special existence outside the city.

Unlike you High Priests, but also not weaker than you… I wonder, Meat, does the Pharaoh have a [divine nature] army?”

Meat was startled, “Hmm? Did the Nine Pillar Gods just attack?”

“Nine Pillar Gods?” Han Dong frowned and continued, “No… just one man with flowing blue hair, controlling the winds of the City of Gods, trying to infiltrate the civilian district from the south, probably to interfere with our battle here.

It just so happened that my friend here blocked him.

“Indeed, has the City of Gods already achieved God Creation?”

“Not in the true sense of a god, but just…”

At that point, a side glance from the Executioner Sepp calmed the conversation. It was a secret of the highest order; even a High Priest would be stripped of his status if it were revealed.

Speaking it out would mean that Meat had chosen ‘betrayal’.

“Just what?”

“Just a relationship between divine pattern and vessel.”

Han Dong was quick to respond, adding, “A divine pattern and a vessel… So, using the Egyptian Deities worshiped by the City of Gods as a template, they create divine patterns with matching attributes, which are then attempted to fuse with priests who share those attributes?”

Meat nodded, “Mm… Roughly, that’s it.

The actual operation is quite complex and requires a significant investment in materials.

The “God-Chooser Examination” is themed around different deities. On one hand, it terms slave potential; on the other hand, it selects for special talents.

If a slave undergoing the examination shows a high compatibility with a certain deity,

he, upon passing the examination, will become a ‘candidate’ with a chance to merge the vessel with the divine pattern.

If he truly becomes a new god, the Pharaoh will also specially approve, establishing a temple and corresponding company for this new god in the surrounding area… after all, a newly born god needs an abundance of ‘Faith Power’ and ‘Energy Material’ to ensure stability.”

Han Dong couldn’t help but laugh, “Hahaha! A god bowing before the Pharaoh… what an irony.

Now, a god created through divine pattern manufacturing and housed in a flesh vessel must not be as powerful as one who becomes a god on their own, right?”

“Yes, there are some constraints and limitations… In my eyes, they cannot be called ‘real gods’, but are merely ‘pseudo-gods’.

Despite this, we highly desire it.

Upon acquiring divinity, we too will undergo a true transformation.”

“Yes, ‘Mythical-Level Contact’ only requires matching attributes. Once divinity is obtained, the individual’s related abilities will transform profoundly.

So, if you help me seize the City of Gods, these divine patterns will be granted to you… Both of you upheld allegiance to me from the start, naturally having priority.”

Meat looked surprised and immediately responded:

“Currently, the main divine patterns are embedded within the Nine Pillar Gods.

If you want to obtain a divine pattern, aside from defeating them, you will also need to extract it without damaging the divine pattern… The power of the Nine Pillar Gods is quite formidable. I suggest you primarily focus on executing them.”

As Meat said this, Han Dong flashed an evil smile, an expression that made Meat’s entire body of fat tremble.

“No… The ultimate goal of my instigating the Node War is to take the City of Gods ‘intact’.

That is also the reason why, no matter how much you hit me, I never fight back… because in my eyes, ‘Meat,’ you are an essential component of the City of Gods.

The Nine Pillar Gods, like pillars supporting the City of Gods, must not be harmed.

The ‘not be harmed’ here refers to the ‘divine pattern’… As for their bodies, doing whatever to them doesn’t matter at all.

Don’t worry, didn’t you say it yourself? This way of becoming a god is ‘pseudo-god’? In my case, there exists in some sense a ‘real god’.”

“A real god?”

At that moment, Dean Richard, who was temporarily acting as security at the southern entrance, suddenly sneezed out.

The sneeze carried a kind of iridescent substance, which just happened to spray onto a passing Probationary Priest, instantly causing his body to fall apart, exploding into bursts of meatballs that glittered like starlight colors.
