Mecantron, the Angel King, opened his hands in the shape of a cross and said solemnly, "Pope Viken stole the Lord's power while he was asleep. So, I'm looking for a pious saint to judge the greatest blasphemer!"
He was surrounded by holy light, and after the eighteen pairs of wings of light spread out, they filled up the entire prayer room, creating an ethereal and holy image.
"Viken?" Clement, who seemed to be embraced by the thirty-six angel wings, stepped back. Had the Angel King finally believed that the Church belonged to Viken, the King of Calamities?
When Ivan, Felix, Geno, and the other saints besieged Wilfred, the Master of Paleness, they accidentally discovered a gap leading to the World of Souls. They learned part of the secrets of the God of Truth and the pope from the lich king and other legendary spectres. They also learned a lot of things from the Temple of Spirits and learned how to steal the power of gods.
Therefore, they secretly conspired and rebelled against the pope during the Highest Theology Meeting, accusing him of being the incarnation of the Lord of Hell. Later, they successfully divided the Church. Viken was certain that Wilfred, who did not participate in the trip to the World of Souls, only had the early research results of the false gods and couldn't know his secrets. That was why he was bold enough to send Ivan and the rest of them to kill him. Otherwise, he would've done it in secret.
As it turned out, the Master of Paleness, a legendary sorcerer of the school of necromancy, conspired with the legendary spectres of the World of Souls at some point. Therefore, a loophole appeared in his perfect plan, and the Church was divided. It was also an opportunity for Douglas and the rest of them to establish the Congress of Magic.
During the process, Ivan, Felix, and the rest of them must've tried to reach out to the Angel King. On the contrary, they spent a lot of effort trying to persuade the Angel King to stand on their side. In that case, the authority of the pope would've been shaken. However, Mecantron refused to believe that the pope was Viken, the King of Calamities, and supported the South Church firmly.
Therefore, the North Church was almost as good as the South Church in terms of the divine powers granted by the God of Truth, but it could not summon the favored ones of seraphs or borrow their power!
"Yes, I was once deceived by him, but the Congress of Magic's exploration of the World of Souls exposed his secrets. I have to defend the glory of the Lord when he sleeps and welcome his awakening in the most perfect way." Mecantron, the Angel King, said sympathetically and solemnly.
"The Congress of Magic's exploration of the World of Souls …" Hearing what the Angel King said, Clement was greatly shocked. He had learned the story of 'Thanos, the God of Truth, and Pope Viken' that the Congress of Magic made up from various sources.
Although many parts of the story were exaggerated, there were also some parts that fit the story perfectly. Although other people might not be able to tell, as someone who had inherited the power and knowledge of Saint Geno and was working with the Lord of Hell in secret, when he heard the story for the first time, he was very shocked. Because the story was basically the same as what he knew, and it was even more complete and detailed. Therefore, he had to admit that the Congress of Magic had indeed gained a lot!
Right now, the Angel King, who lived in Mountain Paradise, also admitted that the Congress of Magic's exploration touched the core secrets?
More importantly, in the story of the Congress of Magic, Mecantron was the incarnation of the God of Truth, Thanos, who was the basis for his resurrection. It meant that he was the real deputy of paradise and the real 'minor God of Truth'!
Was that the real reason why he was willing to believe that the pope was Viken, the King of Calamities?
Too many thoughts popped up in Clement's head. Eventually, greed welled up, and he asked tentatively, "Honorable Angel King, does your arrival mean that you acknowledge my piety and my qualification to sacrifice for the Lord?"
"Yes. Compared to Belkovsky, you are a qualified pious believer." There was admiration in Mecantron's compassionate face. "I have a volume of 'Book of Virtues' here that records the mysteries of demigods. I can see that you are honorable, holy, and resolute, and brave enough to sacrifice for the Lord. You are truly a rare true saint. Therefore, I want to give it to you so that you will be strong enough to defend the glory of the Lord and judge the sinner Viken!"
Pausing for a moment, a gold book appeared in his hand. "Clement, do you want it? Do you want to accept this extremely difficult test and mission? "
The mysteries of demigods? The mysteries of demigods that were more advanced than the way they passed on their strength? Clement felt that his breath was heavy. He cooperated with the Lord of Hell precisely to steal godhood and acquire the mysteries of demigods from him. However, the Lord of Hell was a natural-born demigod, and he did not know why he was a demigod himself. On the other hand, Thanos and Viken, who were not natural-born demigods, grew from ordinary people into demigods step by step!
In that case, did the Book of Virtues really contain the mysteries of demigods?
Thinking about that, Clement held back his excitement and greed and said carefully, "I'm willing to defend the glory of the Lord, but Viken stole the power of the Lord and became a demigod. He is not someone that I can deal with right now. Sacrifice is important, but unnecessary sacrifice is meaningless. I can promise with the heart of faith that I will defend the glory of the Lord and judge the sinner Viken with my life when I am as strong as Viken. "
If you want to cooperate with me, your Book of Virtues must at least make me a demigod!
An old fox like him wouldn't act unless he saw a rabbit.
Mecantron, the Angel King, threw the golden book in his hand to Clement. "I'm very satisfied with your answer."
After receiving the Book of Virtues, Clement browsed through it in a hurry without bothering that Mecantron was still in front of him. The more he read, the more excited he became. In the past, their methods of stealing the power of faith and passing on the strength had a lot of difficulties, and the conversion rate was very low. Therefore, the saints of the North Church had been trying to improve it, but the results were not great. However, after he saw the Book of Virtues, those difficulties seemed to have been resolved, because it pointed out the root of the problem!
The more he read, the more shocked and excited he became. Clement vaguely felt that the Book of Virtues did indeed contain the mysteries of demigods!
"Before we deal with Viken, I have a few missions for you," Mecantron said in a low voice. Mecantron said in a low voice, "At the center of 'Chaotic Cosmos' on the 555th floor of the abyss, there is a legendary material named 'Time Plate'. Go and fetch it for me. I'll give you a reward of corresponding value later."
"Chaotic Cosmos?" Asked Clement in confusion. He had been worried that the Angel King would give him a dangerous mission, but it turned out to be a good thing. A trip to the abyss for a legendary material?
Mecantron briefly told him about the Chaotic Cosmos. In the end, he said, "Prophecy has given me a hint that Lucien Evans, 'Atom Controller', needs a legendary space-time material, and he has learned the existence of 'Time Plate' from the elves. So, you must be careful that he goes to the Chaotic Cosmos, too."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Clement was secretly relieved. Lucien Evans was of the same level as him. Even if he could not defeat him, he could always escape. Also, it was just a competition for materials, not a grudge. If he were in a life-and-death situation, he could throw out the Time Plate, and Lucien Evans would not chase him at the risk of danger.
More importantly, as long as he seized the time, he would be able to get the Time Plate before Lucien Evans did. There would be no need for him to meet him at all.
Mecantron put on a satisfied smile. His projected body gradually dispersed into countless tiny angels that sang, praised, and prayed. It was not until a long time later that they completely disappeared.
… …
On the 666th floor of the abyss, inside the Frozen Fortress …
On the high throne, Gonheim, the Demogorgon of Darkness, looked at the void before him with a vague smile, while he groped the handle of the black throne with his right hand.
The armrest was inlaid with dim and psychedelic gems. Gonheim's ten slender fingers danced among the gems as if he was playing a piece of music. His black fingernails were shining with the luster of chaotic souls.
After a while, he chuckled softly. The void in front of him split open, revealing an expanse of crimson lava. It was boundless, and it continuously roiled and bubbled. It was abnormally hot, like a boiling red ocean!
"Little Fire …" Gonheim shouted in a teasing tone. Roar!
A swirl appeared above the magma, and a gigantic fire demon with fiery wings on its back stood up abruptly. "Gonheim, don't test my patience."
The terrifying heat spread out and seemed to be able to melt everything!
It was the Primeval Fire Demon, the Lord of Fire, the dominator of 'Seething Ocean' on the 554th floor of the abyss, and a level-three legendary Demon Lord.
"You are too chaotic to have a name. What should I call you? As the new Prince of Demons, do you expect me to call you 'Lord of Fire'? "The Demogorgon of Darkness smiled." If you don't like the name Little Fire, how about Little Red? Little Flame? Little Devil? "
Roar. Magma erupted from the ocean, turning the whole demiplane into a world of fire. The Primeval Fire Demon seemed to be very angry!
"Alright, I'm here to tell you that a legendary sorcerer is going to enter the Chaotic Cosmos through your 'Seething Ocean'. I hope that you can stop him for a while." Gonheim did not provoke the Primeval Fire Demon anymore but talked about 'serious business'.
The Lord of Fire roared, "Do I need you to remind me of that? I will not allow any living creature to pass through the 'Seething Ocean'! "
There were only two ways to enter the Chaotic Cosmos. One was through the end of the 'Seething Ocean', and the other was through the Prince of Demons' control over the abyss.
As the void was closed again, Gonheim shook his head and chuckled.
… …
Inside the Atom Institution, Katrina was standing before Lucien.
"Master, I've accepted a compulsory mission, and I'm going to the Schachran Empire. The work in the institution has been assigned to my assistants. With Layria here, there won't be any problem." Katrina asked for leave from her teacher.
As a member of the Highest Council, Lucien was not in the habit of breaking the rules. So, the students had been completing compulsory missions.
"The Schachran Empire?" Lucien asked, deep in thought.
"Yes. An incident of demon worship took place in the northern province of the Schachran Empire. A low-rank sorcerer of the Congress was involved and died there. So, the Affair Committee asked me to investigate the cause." Katrina lowered her head, and her long blonde hair fluttered. "In fact, I'm from the Schachran Empire. I didn't come to the south until later. I'd like to take a look at my hometown."
Her parents were the only family members that came.
Lucien nodded. "Be careful. As it happens, I have a task for you. After you finish the mission, go to the Kingdom of Dumute and put this item outside of the temple of Heit, the God of Craftsmen. I'll give you the specific coordinates later."
"Yes, master." Katrina accepted her teacher's request delightedly. Ever since she met her teacher, she had barely been able to help him. Even if there were research results that could help her teacher, they were mostly done under her teacher's arrangement and guidance.
After Katrina left, Lucien finally nodded and returned to the Atomic Universe, ready to go to the Chaotic Cosmos.
