919 The Pillars Of Eternity [Part 2]

"Someone tried to use the Pillars of Eternity to become a God?" Lux asked in disbelief. 

Eriol nodded. "Yes, and he almost succeeded."

Max had an annoyed expression on his face as if he was remembering something foul.

"You see Lux, Authority is a way to gain the power of Faith," Max stated. "Each God is born from the Faith of the People, and the ability to control an entire world would have given him enough Power of Faith to ascend to Godhood.

"Because of this, the Gods rebelled, and a battle to reclaim the Artifacts ensued. Unfortunately, their chosen champions lost to the one that had managed to steal all Five Artifacts. Just as his ritual of ascension was about to be completed, our dear friend, who was also the Goddess of Solais, sacrificed her life in order to disrupt the ceremony.
