Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1253 Favoured By The New Mysteries!

Chapter 1253  Favoured By The New Mysteries!

This had instinctively caused her to fear the powerful beings hidden within Paradise. But now she had learned they were all Orion's wives, and they had ascended to divinity because of him.

Zera looked at Orion with complex emotions swirling in her eyes. Even the two goddesses within her displayed a similar mix of conflicting feelings.

The Devourer's bracelet on Evaline's hand suddenly began to unlock piece by piece. A black, beating heart emerged from it and disappeared into her chest. Meanwhile, the metallic casing and other remnants of the system vanished into countless specks of light, dispersing into the air.

A surge of Vylkr energy erupted from her body, but it appeared much tamer than before and was swiftly absorbed by the twelve-step stairs. It seemed as though the stairs were drawing in the diluted Vylkr energy, relieving her of the pressure.

A heartbeat resonated through the atmosphere, and Evaline's body became covered in protruding black veins as if she were being consumed by the Vylkr energy. She was not.

The black flames on the stairs burned brighter than the creamy white ones, reaching up to her knees.

None of those present were alarmed by the sight. Though this was more intense, the women with Vylkr fusion armlets had experienced something similar during their ascensions. They figured her body was being tempered to handle the pure Vylkr energy as it was recovered from its diluted state.

The sudden appearance of the twelve-step stairs and the radiant light that turned night into day alerted the entire dimension. Because the light shone brightest above the Golden Palace and resembled what had appeared hours earlier, many quickly realized that another being was about to ascend to divinity within Paradise.

This information spread swiftly across the dimension, stunning those with knowledge of the divine. The event caused a reevaluation of Paradise's formidable internal structure. Some residents debated how Paradise might fare if it participated in the upcoming Great War or if it could secure a stellar gate within the Great Migration.

The warriors had to intervene to calm the ruckus before it escalated.

Meanwhile, every figure in the dimension fixed their eyes on the grand event unfolding.

...

Within the Midnight Butcher Bar, Karensa wore a troubled and complicated expression as she gazed through the window at the strange light in the distance. Her mind replayed what one of the Supreme Leader's wives had told her before departing. She found it hard to believe that her aunt, whom she had spoken to less than a few hours ago, was now on the path to ascend to divinity.

Was the Supreme Leader so powerful that he could elevate a mortal to such great heights in less than a few hours?

Karensa lacked detailed knowledge of the divine, but she was sure that even among them, the Supreme Leader was a freak of nature.

"No wonder he's the Supreme Leader of Paradise," Karensa sighed wearily. A logical mind could easily comprehend nothing she had witnessed or heard about Paradise.

After all, this was the same Paradise that had birthed its own Mysteries, rivalling the formidable might of the Divine Mysteries!

Where two divine beings had once challenged the Divine Mysteries!

The same place that produced warriors capable of freely utilizing Vylkr energy! And much more beyond comprehension.

Karensa wondered who else could bear the Supreme Leader role except him.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy at her aunt's ascension.

After all, which woman didn't dream of ascending to divinity and becoming a goddess? However, as quickly as the thought emerged, it dispersed. Karensa already knew her aunt was destined for greatness, and this only confirmed it. In moments like this, she only needed to grab her thighs tightly and continue reaping the bountiful rewards.

....

The ascension trial lasted a day and a half before Evaline took her final step, reaching the top of the twelve-step stairs and concluding the trial. The creamy white and black flames converged at her position, enveloping her and baptizing her entire being in their fiery embrace. After a few minutes, the flames subsided.

Suddenly, a ray of light shot from the sky like a shooting star and arrived before Evaline.

"It's a Divine Mandate," General Reynold muttered, his voice audible enough for everyone to hear.

Everyone present was surprised and astonished, their expressions shifting into various reactions.

General Reynold and Oberon remained expressionless. Their duty was to ensure Paradise's steady growth. Since this event aligned with their plans, especially with the Mysteries seeming to favour Orion's household, they were neither surprised nor shaken. Instead, they began considering which women could benefit Paradise, fit Orion's preferences, and survive within his household.

The women of Orion's household were excited, smiles spreading across their faces as they gazed upon Evaline, realizing that the Mysteries had favoured their family. They were also saddened, knowing that if the Will of the Divine Mysteries had been present, Evaline might have received a second Divine Mandate. But they weren't bothered as one Divine Mandate was already powerful enough. Ilse's face remained unreadable, making it difficult to discern her thoughts, though her gaze occasionally drifted toward Orion.

The most astonished of all was Zera, along with the two goddesses within her, especially after observing the calm reactions of those present. It became clear to her that this information wasn't unusual to them; something like this had happened before. Suddenly, her opinion of Orion grew larger.

The more they learned about Orion, the more he seemed unique, standing out among the divine and not losing any of the extraordinary qualities that defined them.

Then, the light transformed into a shimmering black veil draping over Evaline as though the universe was trying to hide the beauty of the centauress who had just ascended to divinity.

Evaline descended the stairs.

The twelve-step staircase transformed into a pillar of light, soaring into the sky and piercing through the dimension of the Golden Palace space, heading toward the former village chief's compound.

Evaline stepped effortlessly into the air, advancing in the direction of Orion and the others. She halted before General Reynold and Oberon, bowing to them. Although she didn't know who they were, their appearance alongside the Twelve-Step Stairs, which embodied some of the essences of the new Mysteries, told her their identities were not simple.

"As a divine being, it is now also your responsibility to ensure the safety of Paradise. Your families will help you understand everything you need about being a divine being. If there is something you wish to learn, such as the laws of the universe, you are free to come to us at any time," Oberon said.

General Reynold responded with a nod.

"I will. Thank you for your aid in advance," Evaline replied.

After that, the two transformed into rays of light and vanished into the distance, following after the Twelve-Step Stairs.

Evaline immediately advanced towards Orion and embraced him tightly. "Thank you for the gift, husband," she whispered in his ear. If she had known that she wouldn't just be ascending to divinity but also receiving a powerful item as a Divine Mandate all in one night, she would have felt embarrassed for having looked forward to Orion's gift. There was nothing she could do to match such a grand gesture. Her planned effort to rise from concubine to a wife didn't seem as significant as this. She felt a strong need to repay the tremendous gift Orion had given her.

Noticing her stature and robust figure, which had grown even more prominent after her ascension to divinity, even her robe had become smaller, enhancing these details. Orion lifted the black veil from her face, finding it difficult to see through it.

"You don't need to worry about making up for this gift," Orion said, gazing into her eyes. "As my partner, you should never think that way. Otherwise, how could I give you valuable things freely in the future without burdening your heart?"

Hearing Orion's words, Evaline froze. Unknown to Orion and the others, her Divine Mandate had the ability to uncover all lies, so when she sensed the truth in his words, she believed him immediately.

This was enough to warm her heart, as he had spoken without knowing the function of her divine mandate.

Evaline nodded swiftly and buried her head into Orion's chest, her cheeks flushing brightly as she said, "I want to continue where we left off."

Orion smiled and nodded in understanding, seeing no reason to refuse to commemorate such an event intimately. He enveloped Evaline with his divine power, and they vanished from their spot, reappearing in the room they had previously used for their earlier debauched activities to continue where they left off.

Realizing they wouldn't be able to speak with Evaline for the time being, the women paired up in groups of three to five and returned to their various activities while pondering the kind of Divine Mandate Evaline had received and her current strength.

They had already begun ranking their Divine Mandates in terms of power and versatility. When Ilse overheard their conversation, she grew envious and wore an even more expressionless face.
