Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 230 Heresy Trial
As the sky above the Parthenon was torn apart by a powerful force, the roar of the Twisted Demon Emperor echoed throughout the skies above Greece.

This newly ascended to the Emperor level through a forbidden ritual had not even felt the warmth of the throne before it plummeted like a meteor to the Etna Mountains, hundreds of miles from the Acropolis of Athens.

The earth groaned in anguish, and the entire mountain range was torn open into a thousand-meter-deep ravine, from which lava gushed forth.

Several Titans that had been hiding here were crushed into dust inside the mountain cavity.

Jiang Yuan's figure appeared in the sky like a ghost. Looking around, the Twisted Ghost Emperor was constantly churning his body, trying to burrow into the ground to escape this place.

"Still trying to escape? Go stay in the Netherworld."

Jiang Yuan activated the summoning array, and the Twisted Ghost Emperor was dragged into the Netherworld, leaving only a gradually dissipating black rift in the air. The Twisted Ghost Emperor returned to the Netherworld.

Regarding today's ceremony.

Jiang Yuan was very satisfied.

The ceremony was grand enough that the Twisted Ghost successfully became the Twisted Ghost Emperor.

He has gained another great general.

They can be used as gatekeepers of the future new underworld, guarding the gates of the underworld for all eternity.

The space flickered, and Jiang Yuan's figure disappeared from the spot.

They then appeared in the underworld.

...........................

...........................

Mount Parthenon, the site of grand ceremonies.

The grayness of the sky gradually dissipated, and rays of golden sunlight shone through the thick clouds onto everyone's faces.

The world has brightened up again.

Xin Xia looked up at the sky, but could not see Jiang Yuan or the Twisted Ghost Emperor.

“Xinxia, ​​don’t worry about my safety. I’ve taken that twisted ghost to a secluded place where it won’t harm anyone. The Parthenon is now entirely yours; do whatever you want.”

Jiang Yuan's voice suddenly appeared in Xin Xia's mind.

"Okay!" Xin Xia nodded emphatically into the air.

Immediately, a divine spirit rose behind her, its warm light illuminating everyone and dispelling the fear in their hearts.

"Don't worry, everyone, it's all over."

Xinxia soothed everyone with her voice that reached their very souls.

The expressions on people's faces calmed down.

Only Mu Nujiao frowned, staring silently at the sky.

"Stop looking, I've already taken that damn thing away." Jiang Yuan's voice appeared in Mu Nujiao's mind again.

"Can you come back?" Mu Nujiao asked.

Ok?
Realizing that Mu Nujiao was concerned about him, Jiang Yuan replied, "I need to disappear for a while. This commotion is quite big, and I expect many people will be watching me."

"Many people" naturally refers to those people in the Holy City.

"Okay, then be careful," Mu Nujiao instructed.

"Don't worry, I'm safe."

"I'll wait for you to come back. I'll break through to the Super Rank as soon as possible during this time," Mu Nujiao said earnestly.

Jiang Yuan then looked away.

He began to think about the three main things he needed to accomplish next.

The first task is to completely unify the underworld, which is mostly complete. The only remaining challenge is the Queen of the Dead at the bottom of the sea.

The second is the birth of the new underworld, which can only take place after the first thing is accomplished.

The third thing is that the Three-Eyed Underworld Lord was promoted to Emperor.

Its ascension to Emperor status allows it to directly intercept the Eight Souls Ritual prepared by Crimson Demon Ichiki.

Thus, not counting the Azure Dragon of the Azure Sea, he had a total of three emperors under his command: Austin, the Twisted Ghost Emperor, and the three-eyed Underworld Emperor after his advancement.

Multiple emperors could probably only exist in regions like Antarctica, Kunlun, the Sahara, and the ocean.

"Wait, is Medusa's mother dead?"

Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered the Serpent Empire that he had forgotten.

Medusa's mother was, after all, a sub-emperor, and her essence and body were both precious things.

With this in mind, Jiang Yuan decided to go to the Sahara.

Let's see if the Mother of Medusa is still alive.

If they're alive, kill them; if they're not, plunder all the treasures the Serpent Empire has accumulated over the years.

Speaking of treasures, the pyramids contain many treasures, including the Core of the Earth.

Jiang Yuan only needs to get one magic system to the peak level to directly begin advancing to forbidden spells.

Of course, this will take some time.

…………

On the way from Jiangyuan to the Sahara Desert.

The impact of the Parthenon Twisted Demon Emperor incident has finally begun to unfold.

No one could have imagined that the revered Mother of the Temple would be the Pope of the Black Vatican.

If so many people hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would believe such absurd claims.

Another event is the ascension ceremony of the Twisted Demon Emperor.

The ceremony had such a wide-ranging impact that the entire human world saw the purplish-black evil serpent flying in the sky.

At this moment, the supreme holy land of magic.

The solemn and majestic holy city was in complete chaos, like a bustling marketplace.

"This is the creation of evil gods and demons! You all know how powerful the power of an emperor is!"

"We must take action!"

"Declare Jiang Yuan a heretic and arrest him!"

A group of old men banged on the table, shouting that they wanted to make Jiang Yuan a heretic and then subject him to trial in the Holy City.

“I do not agree with labeling Jiang Yuan as a heretic. In this incident, Jiang Yuan wiped the entire Black Vatican, including the Pope, cardinals, the chief of extradition, the blue-robed deacons, and the gray-robed believers, from the world. We will never have to worry about the Black Vatican's conspiracies again.”

"Don't you think this is an achievement worthy of being remembered for thousands of years?" Zu Huanyao retorted.

Beside him, several Chinese-origin religious leaders echoed the same sentiment, exonerating Jiang Yuan for his crimes.

“I admit it’s a huge achievement, but the Evil Emperor was born under Jiang Yuan’s command. Can you deny that?” a European forbidden spellcaster said.

Zu Huanyao remained silent; he could not refute this.

The people on the sacred mountain heard and saw it that day; the ceremony was held by Jiangyuan.

"So, according to you, the Parthenon's prayer spell was the key to starting the ritual. Two prayers: one that stole the souls of the Black Church members, and the other that took away all the resentment towards the Black Church. These combined to give birth to the evil emperor. Wouldn't the goddess be considered an accomplice?"

Shao Zheng suddenly said that he was an emergency dispatched by China to deal with this heresy ruling.

As for why Xinxia was brought into this incident, firstly, Xinxia did play a crucial role in it; secondly, Xinxia specifically asked him to do so; and thirdly, the goddess's status would make these European forbidden spellcasters hesitant to speak out.

As expected, after Shao Zheng said those words, the monks who had just been speaking righteously fell silent and began to discuss in hushed tones.

At that moment, a blond man with a golden beard entered the House of Judgments.

Everyone immediately stood up to greet them.

"Archangel!"

The newcomer was none other than Michael, one of the seven archangels!

Michael glanced around, his gaze finally settling on Zu Huanyao, Shao Zheng, and the others. He said calmly, "Jiang Yuan, I consider him a heretic."
