Chapter 288: The Battle for the Throne of God (V)Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A huge black light ring spread out in the sky above Niyah. The sky flowed like a river under the power of this ring, and all of the stars were hidden in the cloudless night. It was completely dark.

In the darkness, more than 200,000 citizens held up candles and gathered in the streets and lanes. The light from the candles converged like a starry river, illuminating all of Niyah.

These candles symbolized the faith of the people. Lately, more and more people had become pious believers, and the city was undergoing dramatic changes.

Louis Biketo looked at all of the people of the city. Men and women, young and old, everyone was holding candles and devoutly worshipping to the master of the night.

“This is true belief! Is this how it feels when everyone holds an absolute belief in you?” Louis was in a state of euphoria. “If I can become a god, I can decide the fate of the world. Only god, the true god, is in control of his own destiny!”

The candle light spread all the way to the ends of the world. This scene looked like the Milky Way, and made it appear as if the whole world was covered by the light of the candle fire.

This whole scene had tremendously shocked Louis. He stretched out his hands, shouting to everyone, “Let us all call upon the holy name of our Lord, the master of the night, the supreme ruler of the starry kingdom, the guard of the dreams, Heckfoss!”

In an instant, all of the people on the ground roared together. In the temple of the Church of the Dark Night, candles were also lit, their light reaching from the highest stages to the lowest steps.

Along with this roar, candle flames throughout the whole city flickered violently, and a great power converged, then headed towards the center of the temple. A black shadow spread out from the temple, soon covering it entirely.

The black shadow looked like the robe of god. It moved with the bouncing rhythm of the candle flames. This magical scene ignited the people’s passions…

“God is coming!”

“We’ll be redeemed!”

“God! Please show me the way!”

“The sun will eventually set, as only the night is eternal!”

“The eternal darkness, I adore you! May I always be with you!”

All of the people looked at the sky and roared enthusiastically. They were constantly streaming into the temple, as if this would bring them closer to their god and the divine world.

This tremendous power of belief was growing throughout Niyah, even igniting the central part of the city. Taking strength from this power of belief, a massive shadow rose up from the ground.

The shadow held a huge candlestick, and the candle’s flame lit up the night. The flame emitted a bright light and a wave of heat, as if it was showing the way to the divine world.

The shadow looked at Niyah, as if it was looking at its own kingdom. Its cold eyes looked at countless believers as they were kneeling on the ground to pray. He couldn’t help but secretly laugh at their stupidity.

Foolish and ignorant humans!

The candlestick in its hand shook, while fire fell down from the sky like a starry rain, scattering throughout the earth. All of the people who were touched by the fire immediately felt refreshed. Those who were seriously ill recovered on immediately, and some of the most pious believers even turned into priest apprentices!

This fire rain ignited the beliefs of the whole city. All of the people were crying out the name of Heckfoss. Gradually, the shadow disappeared, yet the people’s enthusiasm didn’t decrease.

The city then hosted a celebration ceremony, which lasted for a whole month. All the of the people in Niyah were going crazy over the arrival of the master of the night.

Every night, a large number of followers gathered in the streets and held a grand parade. Cheering resounded throughout the city

After completing his preaching, Louis returned to the temple. A large group of people who were wearing priests’ robes followed him through long corridors, then knelt down at the door of the temple.

When the temple door opened, an infinite darkness seemed to come from the inside, immediately permeating the outside. The people then stepped into the temple as if they stepping into an unknown and mysterious world.

When Louis walked in, all he could see was an endless dark world. Although his feet stepped on the ground, it felt like he was stepping on a river. Ripples of darkness spread across through the ground.

In the middle of the dark temple, an old man in a black robe floated in the air. The old man opened his eyes, which were like candles, lighting the entire world. The light was being projected onto Louis from above in the sky.

“My Lord Heckfoss! I call out your holy name and listen to your will!” Louis laid on the ground like a devout believer. He saluted Heckfoss and kissed the ground. He appeared to totally believe what he was saying.

“How long will it be?” asked Heckfoss.

He then opened his eyes and looked at Louis. His eyes were filled with indifference. He looked upon Louis, who was on the ground, like he was a speck of dust or a tiny ant.

“Three more days!” Louis said excitedly, as if he was cheering for Heckfoss.

He raised his voice and added, “Three days from now, you could have the divine personality of the god of night! My lord, as long as you integrate the divinity, you will become a god who truly has the control of the world!”

He continued excitedly, “As long as you reach level seven and ascend the divine throne, you will be the master of the night! Then, all of the living things in the world will witness this, the birth of a true god!”

As Louis raised his hands high in the air, his intense level of excitement made it seem as though it was not Heckfoss, but himself, who would ascend the throne! As Heckfoss closed his eyes, the temple slightly returned to darkness its former state of darkness.

He then decreed, “Three days from now, the divine personality of the master of the night must be summoned!”
