"God's curse? No wonder mortal means are completely incapable of healing. After all, how could mortal power possibly fight against the curse set by God?" Merlin suddenly realized and was secretly shocked.

Merlin then asked, "Selene, can you cure this curse?"

The Moon Goddess Selene said unhappily, "Isn't this nonsense? Any god can easily cure it. Even paying a price with your domain is theoretically possible."

"What about the Lord of Flesh and Blood..." Merlin began, but the Moon Goddess Selene interrupted him. "The Lord of Flesh and Blood can't do it. He doesn't have the brains for such delicate work. He simply relies on his immense strength. I'm afraid he's just planning to use Kelvin Rhodes to achieve his own ulterior motives. As for helping him heal his daughter, that's completely absurd."

Merlin asked the moon goddess Selene with a puzzled look on his face: "Is the Lord of Flesh and Blood very powerful?"

Moon Goddess Selene spoke solemnly, "It's incredibly powerful. It's one of the strongest Ancient Gods. Think about it, those weaker Ancient Gods were wiped out long ago by us. Those who remain to cause trouble are either incredibly powerful or incredibly intelligent and cunning."

At this moment, Arthur came to Merlin with a serious expression, staring at the terrifying Flesh Knight, and said, "Merlin, with this guy here, we can't get close to Kelvin Rhodes at all. What should we do next?"

Merlin's mind raced as he muttered, "Has your royal offering recovered?"

He had chatted with Kelvin Rhodes before, actually to delay time for the royal family to recover. After all, at such a critical moment, he had to come up with a response plan quickly.

The moment Merlin finished speaking, the two royal servants suddenly attacked Kelvin Rhodes.

Kelvin Rhodes frowned and shouted, "Don't commit suicide. This is the final stage. I don't want to commit murder again. I don't want my daughter to see me kill people."

Although he said this, the shadow demon under his feet and the flesh and blood centipede on his body moved and attacked the two seventh-level royal priests.

Merlin couldn't help but tut his tongue twice and sneered, "Listen, listen to what this guy is saying. He doesn't want to commit murder again, and he doesn't want his daughter to see him kill people. When your daughter wakes up, the first thing she'll know is that you used so many lives to treat her. What do you think she'll think?"

Kelvin Rhodes seemed not to hear Merlin's words. He turned and looked towards the altar, concentrating on his so-called final plan.

Merlin was extremely anxious, and in his heart he anxiously asked Selene, "Can we take action to kill this guy? Can we use a spirit to take over and fight for him?"

Moon Goddess Selene helplessly responded, "No, if I could have taken action, I would have already. This is the territory of that Goddess of Light, and we've always been at odds. If she knew my current state, she would undoubtedly issue an oracle and have the Dawn Empire's royal family set up an altar to directly descend upon me and kill me, then take my godhead."

Merlin was shocked and couldn't help but complain, "Are all you gods so open-hearted to each other?"

The Moon Goddess Selene explained, "Merlin, you truly don't understand the allure of Godhead. Gods can accommodate multiple Godheads. Once they merge with the Godheads of other gods, they will gain the authority of the deceased god. At that point, they will become both the Goddess of Light and the Moon God."

Merlin was surprised. "Is there such a thing? Are there really gods with multiple divine powers?"

The Moon Goddess Selene pointed at herself proudly and said, "Of course I do. Take me for example. I have three godheads. Otherwise, why do you think I am so powerful?"

"No? Aren't you the Moon Goddess? What other divine powers do you have?" Merlin was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

The moon goddess Selene replied, "I am still the goddess of art and beauty, but the roles played by these two godheads are relatively small and not very useful."

Merlin couldn't help but sigh, "There's a gap between gods. Even the demigods of Aize Continent might work their entire lives and still not even get one godhood, and you actually have three!"

The moon goddess Selene said, "I tell you this because I trust you very much."

Merlin half-jokingly said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll grow up and take away your godhood?"

The Moon Goddess Selene looked at Merlin as if he were an idiot and said, "As a being from a higher world, you covet the godhood of a lower world? How uncool of you, isn't that?"

"Higher world?" Merlin was a little surprised, but the situation was critical and it was obviously not the time to dwell on this matter.

When the last drop of the golden-red blood of the God of War slowly flowed into the body of Kelvin Rhodes' daughter, an almost pious expression appeared on Kelvin Rhodes' face.

He slowly walked to the edge of the altar, his movements as gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping baby, and gently stroked his daughter's face.

Then, he carefully took out an exquisite box from the space ring. The box exuded a mysterious light and was engraved with obscure runes.

"Is that the life box?" Scarlett couldn't help but speak when she saw this scene, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

Merlin looked confused and asked quickly, "What is that?"

Scarlett looked at Merlin with some disdain, wondering what this guy was doing in class when he didn't even know about the phylactery.

At this moment, Belinda patiently explained, "A phylactery is a container specifically designed to hold the soul. Do you know what a lich is? The key to their immortality lies in the phylactery that holds their soul, also known as the soul casket. As long as the phylactery remains, the lich can be resurrected endlessly. However, once the phylactery is destroyed, the lich is truly dead."

Scarlett continued, "Kelvin Rhodes is likely storing his daughter's soul in the phylactery. After all, the decay of the body will cause the soul within to decay along with it. This may be his way of protecting his daughter's soul."

At this moment, Kelvin Rhodes held the phylactery in his hands, his voice trembling with excitement as he shouted, "I'll be able to see my daughter again soon! After so many years of hard work, I've finally reached the final step. No one can stop me, no one! I want my daughter to return to this world and live a normal life."

His eyes flashed with fanaticism and determination, as if the whole world could not stop him from fulfilling his wish.

Merlin couldn't help but say after seeing this scene, "Usually at this most critical moment, something unexpected will happen. It's called a plot twist. Believe me."
