Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 177 Another Wentai, the Beginning of Darkness

When Hailong and Wenlao heard the name Uriel, their bodies subtly trembled.

Clearly, neither of them knew the truth about the Dark Judgment from back then.

The dark judgment of the Holy Son Wentai was extremely sudden; overnight, he fell from being a holy son above all others to a prisoner.

The decision to throw the stone of sin was made the next day, and the Dark Judgment was carried out on the third day.

This was the fastest judgment process since the Dark Judgment began.

The speed was so fast that Wen Tai's supporters and followers didn't even have time to react before Wen Tai was killed by Hai La.

Now, we learn from the Pope that the true culprit behind the Dark Judgment is none other than Uriel, the Archangel of the Holy City.

That's an old angel. He's been back in the Holy City for who knows how long, and it's rumored that his strength is at the peak of humanity. Even emperors are no match for him.

This is also one of the Holy City's greatest sources of confidence.

"Uriel." Ye Chang kept repeating this name, as if she wanted to imprint it completely into the depths of her soul.

As Pamishi watched Ye Chang's actions, the Holy Light Ring at her heart had essentially neutralized the poison Ye Chang had administered.

It is possible to detoxify, but it will take some time.

I never imagined that one day I would be forced by a bishop to resort to such a low-level tactic as stalling for time.

Her plan isn't finished yet; once it's complete, she can even commit suicide.

But not now.

hum~
Just as the four of them were locked in a silent stalemate, an almost imperceptible magical fluctuation suddenly emanated from within the Goddess Temple.

All four are either high-level or forbidden spellcasters.

Moreover, in this semi-enclosed space, this magical fluctuation could not escape their senses at all.

In an instant, all four people's eyes were drawn to the area below and behind the goddess statue.

Hailong immediately noticed the spatial distortion and casually waved his hand, sending a lightning blade flashing past and scraping off Asha's invisibility magic tool.

"Asharuya?!"

Pamis never expected that the person she had always wanted to kill would appear here.

Moreover, judging from Asha's expression, she had likely overheard their entire conversation.

If it were recorded and released, the stronghold at the Parthenon would have to be completely abandoned.

"Hailong! Elder Wen! Kill her! Now!"

Just as the two were about to set off, the sudden rampage of the black blood forced them to abandon their previous idea and instead focus on stabilizing their internal circulation.

"Ye Chang! You piece of trash! How dare you get in my way!"

“This is just a little interest, Pamishi, you won’t be the last one.”

Asha'ruya paid no attention to their bickering. Who would have thought that the moment the seal was broken, the magical fluctuations would forcefully break through her dark blockade?

Without hesitation, he lifted the brick and crawled inside.

As she drilled in, Asha'sya covered the brick again, reactivating the seal.

Without special methods or the magic seal to be unsealed, even Pamis and the others would find it difficult to lift the restriction.

If they tried to force it open with magic, they would experience the wickedness of the person who set up the barrier.

"Wow~!"

Instead of steps, Asha's feet landed on a smooth stone slide. Caught off guard, Asha slid down, and after about three minutes, a faint orange-red light appeared before her eyes.

Whoosh! Bang!
Asha'ruya slid off the slide, came to a screeching halt, and landed heavily on the ground. She rubbed her backside, feeling like she was about to be smashed into four pieces.

Shadow magic surged, covering his eyes, and his pitch-black vision suddenly became as bright as daylight.

"This is the temple's forbidden library... how come there isn't a single book?"

Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. Looking around, she couldn't see any books, not even a desk or bookshelf. Only an orange-red orb of light floated in mid-air, emitting a dim glow that slightly illuminated this forbidden library, which was only the size of a room.

"If you want to record the past almost permanently, paper cannot withstand this span of time; only the soul can."

From the shadows where the orange-red light couldn't reach, a pitch-black figure emerged.

"Who are you.?!"

Asha's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she covered her open mouth with both hands, too shocked to speak.

"It's been a long time, Asha'ruya. You've grown up so much, into a beautiful young woman."

"Father.!"

The pitch-black figure was no longer completely black, but had faint outlines and facial features.

Asha's mother recognized the man in front of her almost instantly—her adoptive father, the former Holy Son, Ventae!
"I thought Lin Ling was the one who came here, but I didn't expect him to trust you so much and choose to send you here. He must have given you something."

"Lin Ling gave me a pouch and told me to open it after I entered the library."

As she spoke, Asha Ruya took out a black pouch, opened it, and inside lay a folded piece of paper.

Asha's Riya did not open it, but handed it to Ventay instead.

"His words hit the nail on the head; he seems to know quite a lot."

Wen Tai opened the note, but there wasn't a whole bunch of questions written on it.

There were only three words on the huge sheet of paper.

"Who are you"

"Are you really my father? Lin Ling said you deliberately plotted against the Dark Judgment in order to become the Dark King."

"Hmm, I didn't expect him to have guessed that much. Lin Ling is right. I did deliberately push for the Dark Judgment back then in order to become the Dark King. You could say that I orchestrated the whole thing from behind. Everyone else was just a pawn. Even my sister, Isa, only finally steeled herself at the last moment and threw the Stone of Guilt. To be honest, when she hesitated back then, I was really afraid that she would suddenly pull a fast one on me."

Wen Tai spoke casually, as if discussing a trivial experience, conjuring two chairs with a wave of his hand and gesturing for Asha'ruya to sit down.

"It all started the day I discovered this forbidden library."

The Parthenon, more than twenty years ago.

"This is...?! A human soul?!"

Upon unexpectedly discovering the forbidden library and coming into contact with the orange-red orb, Wen Tai instantly realized that the orb was transformed from a human soul.

Their basic consciousness has been erased, like a pre-programmed sequence, forever serving to manage the forbidden library.

Wen Tai couldn't understand who could do such a cruel thing.

But the next second, a black ancient book appeared in his hand without any warning.

With a cautious attitude, he tried to find out what was going on, specifically using human souls, in order to manage and record some unspeakable secret.

He turned to the first page, then the second, then the third.

As if drawn by some magical force, when he came to his senses, the black ancient book had completely disappeared.

And a kind of dark, hidden light, not belonging to him, was buried in his eyes.

This was the beginning of darkness.
　There might be some water, but I still want to fill in the details well.
