Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mecantron, the Angel King, opened his hands, turning into the shape of a cross, before he said solemnly, “Pope Viken stole the Lord’s power when the Lord was asleep. Therefore, I’m looking for pious saints to judge the greatest blasphemer!”

He was surrounded in holy light, and his eighteen pairs of wings filled up the whole room after they were unfolded, building a hallowed image.

“Viken?” Clement stepped back from the embrace of the thirty-six angelic wings. Was the Angel King finally convinced that the Church was led by Viken, the King of Calamities?

When Ivan, Felix, Geno and the other saints surrounded Wilfred, the Great Master of Paleness, they accidentally discovered a gap to the World of Souls and learnt part of the secrets of the God of Truth and the pope from the legendary spectres such as the Lich King. They also looted a lot from the Temple of Spirits and learnt how to steal the power of gods.

Therefore, they secretly forged an alliance and betrayed the pope during the Highest Theology Conference, accusing him of being the embodiment of the Lord of Hell. After that, they successfully divided the Church. Viken sent Ivan and the rest of them to hunt Wilfred only because he was convinced that Wilfred, who did not partake in the trip to the World of Souls, had only the preliminary knowledge of fake gods and was unaware of his secret. Otherwise, he would’ve decided to kill the enemy in person.

However, at some point, the Great Master of Paleness, the legendary sorcerer of the school of necromancy, made friends with the legendary spectres of the World of Souls at some point. As a result, Viken’s perfect plan became flawed, and the Church was divided, which also gave an opportunity for Douglas to establish the Congress of Magic.

During their attempt, Ivan and Felix tried to reach out to the Angel King, hoping to persuade the Angel King to take their side. In such a way, the authority of the pope would be completely shaken. However, Mecantron refused to acknowledge that the pope was Viken and continued to support the South Church firmly.

Therefore, while the North Church was as good as the South Church in terms of the divine power granted by ‘God of Truth’, they could not summon the angels in the level of seraphs or use their strength!

“Yes, I was once fooled by him, but the Congress of Magic’s exploration of the World of Souls completely exposed his secrets. I have to defend the Lord’s glory when He is asleep.” Mecantron announced pitifully and gravely.

“The Congress of Magic’s exploration of the World of Souls...” Clement was shocked. He had learnt the story of ‘God of Truth Thanos and Pope Viken’ that the Congress of Magic fabricated through various channels.

While the story was a joke for many people, as a person who inherited the power and knowledge of Saint Geno and who cooperated with the Lord of Hell in secret, Clement was very shocked when he heard it because it agreed with the information he knew and had more convincing details. Therefore, he had to accept that the Congress of Magic did earn a lot from the adventure!

Now, the Angel King also admitted that the Congress of Magic’s exploration touched the core secrets?

Most importantly, according to the Congress of Magic’s story, Mecantron was an incarnation of ‘God of Truth’ and the dependency for Him to be revived. Therefore, Mecantron was the out-and-out deputy of paradise and a ‘Junior God of Truth’!

Was it the real reason why he believed that the pope was Viken?

Too many thoughts popped up in Clement’s heart. In the end, grasped by greed, he ventured, “Honorable Angel King, does your arrival mean that you acknowledge my devotion and my contribution to the Lord?”

“Yes, you are a much more qualified believer than Belkovsky is.” Mecantron’s benevolent face was full of praise. “I have a copy of ‘Book of Virtues’ which records the mysteries of demigods. I can tell that you have a noble mind and your deeds match the Lord’s teaching. You are also determined and willing to sacrifice. Therefore, I plan to give it to you, so that you will be strong enough to defend the glory of the Lord and punish the sinner Viken!”

After a brief pause, a gold book appeared in his hands. “Clement, do you want it? Do you want to take this extremely difficult mission?”

Mysteries of demigods? Mysteries that were better than the ways to pass on power that they knew? Clement felt that his breath had turned heavy. He only cooperated with the Lord of Hell in order to obtain the secrets of demigods from him. However, the Lord of Hell was a natural-born demigod. He did not know why he was a demigod. Thanos and Viken, on the other hand, had grown into demigods from ordinary people with obvious tracks!

In that case, were the mysteries of demigods contained in the Book of Virtues?

Thinking about that, Clement held back his excitement and greed. Weighing his words, he said, “I am willing to defend the glory of the Lord, but Viken has become a demigod after stealing the Lord’s power and is too strong for me. Sacrifice is important, but unnecessary sacrifice is meaningless. I can promise with the heart of faith that when I am almost as strong as Viken, I will defend the honor of the Lord and punish the sinner Viken with my life.”

If you want me to cooperate with you, let me become a demigod with your Book of Virtues first!

An old fox like him would never do anything without a reward.

Mecantron tossed the gold book to Clement. “I’m satisfied with your answer.”

Picking up the book, Clement quickly browsed through it, not bothering that Mecantron was still around. The more he read, the more excited he became. Due to the difficulties in stealing the power of faith and passing on the power, the rate of transformation had been very low, and the saints of the North Church had been trying to modify the methods. But the moment he saw the Book of Virtues, those difficulties seemed no more, because the book had pointed out their origin!

The more he read, the more thrilled he became. Clement did feel that the Book of Virtues contained the mysteries of demigods.

“Before you deal with Viken, I have a few missions for you.” Mecantron said in a low voice, “At the core of the ‘Chaotic Cosmos’, the 555th floor of the abyss, there is a legendary material named ‘Time Plate’. You will fetch it for me. I will reward you accordingly afterwards.”

“The Chaotic Cosmos?” Asked Clement in confusion. He was worried that the Angel King would give him a dangerous mission, but it did not seem so bad at all. A trip to the abyss for a legendary material?

Mecantron introduced the Chaotic Cosmos to him and said in the end, “My prophecy told me that Lucien ‘Atom Controller’ Evans needs a legendary space-time material and learnt of ‘Time Plate’ from the elves. So, be careful that he may go to the Chaotic Cosmos, too.”

“Of course, Your Excellency.” Clement was more or less relieved. Lucien Evans was on par with him. Even if he couldn’t defeat the guy, he could always escape. There was no grudge between them. If he were caught in danger, he could always throw the Time Plate out. Lucien Evans certainly wouldn’t chase after him.

More importantly, as long as he seized the time, he could claim the Time Plate earlier than Lucien Evans, and they wouldn’t meet at all.

The Angel King put on a smile of satisfaction. His body in the projection dispersed into countless tiny angels, singing, praising and praying. It was not until a long time later that they finally disappeared. historical

......

On the 666th floor of the abyss, inside the Frozen Fortress.

Gonheim, the Demogorgon of Darkness, looked at the void before him with a vague smile and held the black throne with his right hand.

On the throne were dim and illusionary gems. Gonheim’s long fingers danced among them, as if he were playing music. Chaos was flashing on his dark fingernails.

After a while, he chuckled, and the void before him split into a boundless ocean of magma, which was surging and bubbling nonstop!

“Little Fire...” Gonheim called in a mocking tone.

Hooo. A vortex appeared above the magma, and a gigantic flame demon stood up. “Gonheim, don’t test my tolerance.”

Terrifying heat spread out and seemed to be melting everything!

He was the Primeval Firelord and the dominator of ‘Seething Ocean’, the 554th level of abyss. He was a level-three legendary Demon Lord.

“How should I call you when you are too chaotic to have a name? 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 me calling you Little Fire, how about Little Red, Little Flame, or Little Demon?”

Hooooo. Magma erupted from the ocean, turning the demiplane into a world of fire. The Primeval Firelord seemed to be exasperated!

“Alright, I’m calling you merely to tell you that a legendary sorcerer will enter the Chaotic Cosmos through your ‘Seething Ocean’. I hope that you can stop him for a while.” Without stimulating the Primeval Firelord anymore, Gonheim began to talk about ‘business’.

The ‘firelord’ roared, “Do I need you to remind me? I will not let a single living creature pass ‘Seething Ocean’!”

There were only two ways to enter the Chaotic Cosmos, which was a hidden plane. The first way was to reach the end of the Seething Ocean, and the other was to ask for the Prince of Demons’ help.

After the void was closed, Gonheim shook his head with a smile.

......

Inside the Atom Institution, Katrina was standing before Lucien.

“Master, I have accepted a mandatory mission to go to the Schachran Empire. I have entrusted my work in the institution to my assistants. With Layria here, nothing will go wrong.” Katrina ‘asked for leave’.

As a member of the Highest Council, Lucien did not have the habit of breaking rules. Therefore, his students had always been carrying out mandatory missions.

“The Schachran Empire?” Asked Lucien, deep in thought.

“Yes. An incident caused by demon worship happened in a northern province in the Schachran Empire. A low-rank sorcerer of the Congress was involved and killed. Therefore, the Affair Committee asked me to investigate.” Katrina lowered her head, her gold hair drifting. “In fact, I am a native of the Schachran Empire. I only came to the south when I grew older. I thought that I could take a look at my hometown with the opportunity.”

In her family, only her parents came with her.

Lucien nodded. “Pay attention to your safety. As it happens, there’s something I need you to do for me. After you accomplish your mission, you will go to Dumute and put this outside of the temple of Heit, ‘God of Craftsmen’. I’ll give you the coordinates of the specific location later.”

“No problem, master.” Katrina accepted her teacher’s mission very happily. Ever since they knew their teacher, the students had barely offered any help to him. Even though they had research products that were helpful for their teacher, those products couldn’t have been achieved without their teacher’s arrangement and guidance.

After Katrina left, Lucien nodded his head and returned to the Atomic Universe, ready to go to the Chaotic Cosmos.
