Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 453

Chapter 453: How to kill a deity.
Blinking rapidly, Rekha wondered why Maureen a legend in the guardian world could not sense anything, but Phoebe could. How vast was her energy to spread so far and not cause her to become pale or tired?

First it was the void and now this, what kind of energy reserve did Phoebe have?

She spread her arms out, her energy was limited and could only spread inside the house. But just like Maureen she sensed nothing which she found a little frustrating. Her hand fan showed no significant changes however which assured her that she was not incompetent, what they sought was not in the house.

“Where is this doll? I am certain that it is not in this house.” Rekha’s eyes roamed around.

Cain let out a pronounced sigh, placing his hands on his waist. “It is no longer in the house, the first thing the doll demanded for when it started to change was for me to build a temple of worship. Then came an instruction that I had to construct an alter where gifts and blood sacrifices were placed.” He curled his lips to the side. “It was easy, my compound is large anyway, so I built the temple at the backyard. I never thought things would come this far.” he whispered.

There was no time to listen to him throwing himself a pity party of remorse. The three women had all figured that Cain was more remorseful about how the doll affected his life and that of his loved ones. As for the experts that died, he saw it as nothing more than collateral damage. Cain Ledger was a bastard; nothing would ever change that fact.

Phoebe fished for the coins from her bag, flipped them and sent the pets to canvass the area. The onlookers stared in awe, how Phoebe had come into possession of undead magic pets was a story that Maureen wanted to hear.

“I will go with them.” The spirit vanished.

The women created a small circle to discuss on a way forward. One did not just walk into a temple randomly without knowing what was worshiped inside. Moreover, the word temple presented more questions and possibly bigger problems.

“You heard him, right.” Maureen said.

She looked at Rekha and Phoebe, wondering if they were on the same page and they were as both women nodded.

“A temple! I thought that we were dealing with a ghost or demon maybe but neither of those two ask humans to build them places of worship.” Rekha gave her opinion.

“It could be a higher-level demon.” Phoebe suggested.

Rekha shook her head. “My fan would know, and it would have reacted as soon as you started drawing talismans. Demons are not patient, and they certainly don’t kill with stealth because they like to cause pain, to torment the survivors. They are bastards that always want you to know they were responsible for whatever evil has happened.”

The other two women nodded; Maureen especially was on board.

“There is only one type of supernatural being that would care about that, a god or deity of some kind. There are at least twenty thousand different gods, goddesses, animals and objects that humans have worshiped since the beginning of time. It is possible that we have stumbled on one.” Maureen shared her view.

Phoebe’s eyes flew open. “A deity? A god!” She exclaimed. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would meet one. “Aunt have you met one before by any chance?” Her voice echoed, in it was a trace of intrigue.

Nodding her head, Maureen admitted to having met one. “I have, one time in Creedmore. I was a junior guardian back then, part of a team of guardian with our seniors. We went out on a simple case which turned out to be a forgotten deity of fertility. It was not hostile, did not ask for blood nor did it kill people, but it had made the land and women infertile.” She elaborated.

Rekha and Phoebe held onto Maureen’s eyes with eager eyes.

“Did you capture it and did it ask for a place of worship too?” Rekha quizzed.

Maureen nodded. “Our professor explained that deities were not all harmful. Most just liked to be worshiped and appreciated by humans and in return they give them things like wealth, fertile lands, rain and many more.

We oversaw the construction of a temple for it and explained to the people that they had to offer some incense and gifts occasionally. It was the deity of their town after all, even though many had forgotten it and did not believe anymore. They had the duty to maintain it, even though it was perfunctory. Creedmore town changed for the better after that.” She narrated.

“If I remember correctly, we were cautioned never to approach deities in combat mode or else whatever deity this is will fight us back and chances were ninety nine percent that we would die. The best way to protect yourself is escape and report back to the academy.” She continued to speak. “Only the best of the best can take on a deity, professors and a grand guardian.”

Phoebe clicked her tongue. “And what if we cannot escape or call for help or worship it, then what? This thing has killed many people already. It can be considered to be hostile, and we cannot just go in there and cuddle it, I say we destroy it.” She proposed.

“I am with Phoebe on this one. This does not sound like a good deity; in school we are told that they are divided into good and bad ones. The bad ones must be destroyed for the safety of humanity. So, how do we kill a deity or are we reporting this to the school and letting them handle it?” Rekha drifted her eyes to Phoebe and Maureen.

She had been on many cases, but this was new to her as a guardian that specialized in exorcisms. One could not exorcise a deity as far as she knew.

Maureen scoffed. “We could if we had help from another deity or a divine weapon created by another god. Preferably one that has been blessed by our God that we worship, the one in heaven.”

The Saxon spirit returned in time to give a report on what it had found. “It is a deity alright, a malicious one you cannot please by worshiping, offering incense, gifts, gold, food or flowers because all it wants is blood. Destruction is the only route here.”

Phoebe nodded, the message was received, the question now was how to proceed. “We have come to the same conclusion but what weapon can we use to destroy it?” She asked.

Maureen opened her mouth to suggest that they turn back first and return with professors from Moldove. Her hand on her back pocket, she wanted to call in other guardians because this was a big case.

“The crimson sabre.” The spirit announced.
