A truly unique and domineering power! This deep grey force circulates around Felix, devouring and assimilating every elemental force it encounters. Even the frost power hidden in his veins is no match for it!
The deep grey power circles around Felix, passing through the three storage points of magical power - the forehead, chest, and navel - before returning to the grey crystal shard in the center of his right palm.
Once this domineering force returns, it's like opening the gates of a prison, unleashing a terrifying suction from the crystal shard!
The crystal in the center of his right palm becomes a vortex, not only drawing the peculiar power from the woman's body but also attracting the unique elemental force lingering in the air!
After the woman’s unique elemental force is drained, the vortex formed around the grey crystal shard, still unsatisfied, begins to draw the magical power from Felix's body. Using this magical power as an extension, it starts to frantically absorb the free elements in the environment and the deep grey force from those infected by the plague!
"What's happening!?"
Felix feels as if he's been fixed in place by a peculiar force, unable to move even a finger!
The invisible energy absorption, once joined with Felix's magical power, instantly turns into a tangible energy storm!
A whirlwind circles Felix's body, lifting dust and stones from the ground. Simultaneously, both the deep grey elemental force attached to human bodies and that floating in the air are drawn towards the crystal in Felix's palm!
Even the slowest Felix senses something unusual.
"Am I... absorbing the plague?"
Absolutely! It has to be!
As the energy storm forms, all the plague-weakened people instantly brighten up, their grey faces regaining color within a few breaths. Their wounds, under the influence of another force, stop festering, and a faint green light appears, bringing a breath of life and taking away the plague!
The green light attracts each other, eventually forming a ring with the energy storm, slowly merging the drawn deep grey force into the crystal in Felix's palm!
After the crystal extracts the peculiar elemental force within a 300-meter radius centered on Felix, he finally regains his ability to move!
This is a strange and very special elemental force.
In Felix's elemental perception, it’s deep grey, an aggressive and domineering energy. Yet, to the naked eye, it appears as a crystalline green light, a healing energy filled with the force of life!

Felix is overwhelmed. As the green light merges into his body, he immediately feels a surge of rich vitality.
This is the pure essence of life energy, not just the latent life force activated by the power of holy light! Only at this moment did Felix realize what the deep grey crystal represented. The Power of Pestilence!
That deep grey, peculiar elemental energy must indeed be the legendary Power of Pestilence!
In this revelation, thoughts surged in Felix's mind like a tidal wave, as if he had suddenly opened a door to the sky, seeing so much more clearly!
He finally understood what the God of Pestilence wanted, what its intentions were.
The God of Pestilence spread the plague among mankind, disseminating this unique Power of Pestilence. Its goal was not to destroy humanity, but to use this force to transform the life energy within human bodies. Yes, life energy!
The Power of Pestilence, invisibly eroding human life energy, could, within just a few days, lead to death due to its erosion.
External diseases were merely a guise for the Power of Pestilence. Its true horror lay in its powerful devouring and merging nature. With life vitality being eroded, not just a plague, even a minor cold could easily snatch away human life.
The life energy of those who died from the plague would be assimilated by the Power of Pestilence, then transformed into a more intense plague aura that spread further.
The Power of Pestilence was like a biological crisis from another world. If unopposed, it could even destroy any living species. But, if that was all, the God of Pestilence wouldn't gain sufficient benefit, the energy it desired.
It could spread the plague, but also, it had the power to retract the plague and heal those infected with intelligence. If the infected didn't die, the damage they suffered was at most a part of their energy being drawn by the Power of Pestilence, not enough to cause death.
Such cunning!
If Felix wasn't mistaken, what the God of Pestilence aimed to do was to spread this terrible plague, then have the wizards of the Cursed Church step in to cure the plague, converting those saved into followers of the Cursed Church.
"The plague is the wrath of the gods. Only believers in the God of Pestilence can be spared from its harm."
Felix could think of a thousand ways the cursed wizards might fool the ignorant mortals. Under the threat to their lives, how could ordinary citizens see through the hidden conspiracy?
As long as they could defeat the power of the Church in direct conflict and suppress the backlash from various countries, it might not be long before the God of Pestilence grew into a powerful main god.
As the plague spread, its power would grow, and simultaneously, the number of followers of the Cursed Church would increase, as would the faith power used to repair its broken divinity.
Felix finally understood why the God of Pestilence had descended time and again to the primary material plane, even at the risk of elemental backlash and energy drain, to forcibly manifest here in person.
As long as the plague spread, the Power of Pestilence would grow stronger. Its power would soon be replenished and even become more powerful.
If the Church couldn't react in time and control the plague, once it gathered enough faith power and attained a complete divinity, not even Saint Iyeta's personal descent could oppose it!
With elemental power and faith power in hand, the only pity was that this Plague Seed seemed to have little luck. Thrice its descents were timely halted by the Church, and this time its true body was exiled to an alternate dimensional space by the suddenly emerging Princess Helen. Its rather unattractive appearance had not won the favor of the goddess of luck, and it seemed destined to be a great tragedy.
"So, this crystal in my palm?" Felix gazed at the crystal in his palm, which had gradually turned from grey to black after absorbing a large amount of the Power of Pestilence, with a sense of disbelief.
Was it a shattered divinity? Or remnants of divine power?
