Chapter 789: Chapter 493: It’s Better When It’s Free!

Ripples gently spread across the Seven-colored Pool, and the temple was filled with an unparalleled silence, only disturbed by Lis’s somewhat rapid breathing.

Although the Elf Great Sage Adela was keeping watch nearby, for Lis, absorbing the Divine Power from the pool was an exceedingly difficult task.

It took a very long time to fully digest the Strength contained within a single drop of Divine Power.

After all, he had not yet ascended to the Legendary Rank, and given his current Strength, digesting Divine Power quickly was impossible.

He could only slowly digest and absorb the Divine Power bit by bit.

However, Adela didn’t appear to be in a hurry, sitting quietly on the side and paying close attention to Lis’s condition.

While Lis was absorbing Divine Power, the Legendary Accessory, Sphinx’s Wisdom, which was also absorbing Divine Power, was steadily increasing its absorption speed, soon surpassing the speed at which Lis was absorbing Divine Power.

Even a small seven-colored vortex formed around the earring, continuously devouring the surrounding Divine Power.

Even Adela was somewhat surprised by the speed at which the earring absorbed Divine Power, beginning to doubt her previous judgment.

Could this earring truly be a Divine Artifact left by some deity?

Just as Adela started to seriously examine the earring, its interior was also undergoing constant changes.

If Lis were conscious right now, he would probably feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to come to this temple in the Elf Land.

Besides this place, Lis could not think of anywhere else where he could have obtained such an abundance of Divine Power.

This was far beyond the absorption limit of an ordinary Half-God Artifact!

When Sphinx’s Wisdom stopped absorbing Divine Power, Adela, who had been observing from the side, also let out a sigh of relief.

She had witnessed the entire process of Lis’s accessory absorbing Divine Power.

It was manageable at the beginning, but later the earring absorbed significantly more Divine Power than Lis himself.

The Seven-colored Pool, originally full of Divine Power, had now noticeably dropped by a significant layer.

Although Adela did not interfere, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss.

The Divine Power absorbed by Sphinx’s Wisdom was even more than ten times what Lis had absorbed.

Adela quietly observed for a while, but did not reach out to touch the earring on Lis’s body.

Every powerful being has their secrets, and Adela meant no harm to Lis; casual probing into his secrets could potentially arouse his hostility.

This was totally unnecessary for Adela, who wished to befriend Lis.

The Divine Power absorbed by Lis and his accessory was very precious to the weaker Divine Church.

But for the Elf Country Tirion, it was not too significant.

Since she wished to win over Lis, Adela naturally had the courage to bear this expense.

“I hope the future will unfold as I wish!”

Adela shook her head slightly, sighing silently in her heart.

The destruction of the Elf Royal Court was the deepest Shadow in her heart, and the oracles from the Elf Gods had been decreasing in recent years, all of which made her, the Elf Great Sage, worried about the future of the Elf Clan.

Then, the temple fell back into silence.

…

It was unclear how much time had passed,

but the sunlight streaming into the temple began to fade, and the radiant glow of the Seven-colored Pool wrapped around the temple, making it even more brilliant.

“Huh~”

Lis, who had been lying flat in the Seven-colored Pool, opened his eyes and looked around, somewhat confused.

“You’re awake?”

A pleasant voice sounded from the side, and only then did Lis remember that he was in the temple of the Elf Land, having just undergone a Baptism of Divine Power.
