Omega Summoner
1496 The Hunt for the Snake’s Descendant II
All of those that do not know how the soul works are shocked about Adrian's statement. They tried to look at Levin Cloud to see if he had any other reaction but even, he was silent. If even the envoy of the Twin Gods is silent then that means that everything that Adrian said is actually true.
A being that was born to basically just be a vessel of a god is a tragic fate. Adrian knows this because the two twins Vida and Mortem told him when they were talking about the Twin Gods. The twins also knew that should the Twin Gods need vessels when the world is truly in danger then they would sacrifice their lives for the world.
Adrian felt extremely sad at that statement which is why he did not forbid the two to wander off in the territory. The good side to this is that they would live a normal life as long as the gods that have them as vessels do not descend. This is one of the reasons why Adrian does not want the world to suddenly increase in strength limit.
The players might not know this but Adrian and a select few know that each church or temple already has vessels for their gods. They are just being kept hidden as they are the secret weapon of each church. They are even more valuable than the treasures of each church which is why Vida and Mortem was sealed in a secret dimension.
"What if we find the vessel first?" Frey asked.
"If you find the vessel first then we can protect them if you so wish as you found them first. If we find them then my guild members already know what to do. Should the vessel be found at the hands of the followers when you see them then kill the vessel as soon as possible." Adrian stated.
"Just make sure that we will protect the vessel if we find them first." Frey stated as she also does not want to kill the vessel since they might not be evil.
Seeing the intense emotion that Frey and the guild leader of the Briar Rose guild could not be stopped with just mere words, Adrian just let them leave as they please. Adrian looked at all of his friends and gave the command to all those in his guild. The guild members might have other opinions but there is one thing that they should not question their guild leader about and that is regarding life and death in the game.
Most of them or all of them already know and seen him in action in Limbo before when they did not logout after dying. They could clearly see their guild master sitting at a throne in Limbo deciding the fate of those that died. They would actually be doing the vessel a favor by killing them instead of letting them have the fate they were destined to have.
"Wait! If that is true, then are we also subjected to that same fate?!" One of the avatars stated which made them pale.
"Unlike the vessel of Apophis, you people have already been connected to the god that you serve for quite some time. Also, not all avatars are perfect vessels because they only appear once every thousand years. The vessel of Apophis is a different case as it was manufactured instead of naturally born which affected causality.
As such, the vessel of Apophis would most likely hold only for a year before the body explodes. They would just need to make another one though. Your souls would most likely end up in your respective gods' domain should you die as all your souls are tethered to that place already." Adrian explained.
"Do not worry my children, the avatars have always been sent to divine realm of the god they serve or sent to reincarnation should they wish. This was the deal that is made with the Gods of Death which is why one of my sons had to become one to ensure the promise." The Sun God Ra stated which made the avatars sigh of relief.
"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Find the vessel." Adrian stated towards the avatars as they begrudgingly left.
"I always thought that you were rational, but I did not think it was to this extent though." Levin Cloud stated.
"I also want to save the vessel as they might be an innocent soul but sometimes you cannot save everybody. I am also a demon after my duties as the Champion of the Twin Gods. The stability of the dimension is my second priority and having a Distorted God get a vessel is not something that should happen." Adrian stated.
"What if you transfer the vessel's soul while we destroy the body?" Creepysoo asked.
"That is not possible as well." Levin Cloud stated as he also knew the requirements.
"The soul of the vessel is the key to the entire body. The god must devour the soul of the mortal vessel in order to control everything. Also, the Distorted God Apophis is known for reconstructing its body. It could just devour the soul and reconstruct the body later which means we would be losing either way." Adrian stated.
"Maybe you should have told them that before they went off." Peridot stated.
"You will not be able to argue with people like that when they are high in their emotions." Adrian argued which the others cannot seem to retort.

"Are you sure about this, bestie?" Frey asked Rose.
"I do respect him, and I know that you like him, but I do not like that attitude of him arbitrarily saying to kill the vessel." Rose stated as she was upset.
"What do you mean I like hi…" Frey stated as she bit her tongue at the end of her sentence.
"You cannot hide it from me, but this world is like another world! Telling someone to kill you just because you are born unfortunate is not something that should happen!" Rose stated.
"He did not say it like that. He said that the vessel would be more unfortunate if they get devoured by the Distorted God Apophis as they will vanish without a trace." Frey stated as she just followed her best friend's lead earlier.
"No matter! We will find the vessel first!" Rose stated as she told everyone in the guild to meet her at the central continent guild house.
==
The followers of Apophis have long infiltrated the central continent with the help of the Followers of the Dark Gods. It seems that they Shadow of Apophis has cut them a deal as long as they fulfill the end of their bargain. The one who actually met them when they landed on the central continent was none other than Eldritch himself.
"Greetings, Envoy of the Dark Gods or rather Envoy of the Azathoth." The followers of the Distorted God Apophis stated as they greeted Eldritch.
"I do not have time to waste with any of you which is why I am only here to warn you to not say anything about us when moving in the central continent. The others will aid your group in finding the vessel that you speak of. They know the central continent like the back of their hands as they are moving inside of it from the shadows for almost a thousand years." Eldritch stated as two beings with the power level of a demigod came from behind him.
"Do not worry, Great Envoy Eldritch. We already got the details from the slave trader where the ancestor of the vessel was sold. We only need your guide, and our master shall give you what you need." The follower of Apophis stated as all of them moved in an instant.
==
Adrian already delegated all of the areas in the central continent to his guild members. He sent them to look at certain villages that cannot be reached by foot as well. He delegated this as their first priority since finding the vessel means weakening the Shadow of Apophis even more. They would get higher contribution points for this well.
Adrian's location is to the southwest of the continent where it is mostly cliffs and sea. The villages he visited are mostly inhabited by people that do not leave their places even when they become adults. Adrian was about to leave for another location when he noticed that the village that he came to is too quiet.
Adrian decided to investigate deeply and enter the village. He thought that the people are just prone to hiding but he is shocked when he opened the door to the adventurer guild. The bodies of people are mangled which shocked him because there was no stench of blood.
Sirius, who was hiding in Adrian's shadow, suddenly came out and deflected an attack that was about to reach Adrian. A woman that looked like she was in her early twenties appeared before him.
