Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 161 Church of Bones

Truman had a strange sense of the outside world as soon as Medici appeared on the main battlefield.

"The 'Red Priest' ritual?" Truman's steps suddenly stopped as he walked through the gray fog. In fact, he had left something on Medici.

He then obtained even more information directly from "The Sun".

Arista Tudor, Adam, Sasriel, Medici, and even the two Imperial Emperors who were fighting in the astral plane were all bathed in sunlight.

"Heh." Truman was about to open a spatial portal in front of him and teleport directly to the battlefield.

He was heading to that battlefield, and even the four true gods outside the gray fog couldn't stop him.

At that moment, Truman paused, frowned, and looked up at the gray mist that enveloped the area.

The gray fog rolled endlessly, and even the source fortress above the spirit realm showed unusual activity. In fact, a chaotic aura rose from the deepest part of the land where Truman stood.

"The beginning..."

Truman's spiritual intuition twitched slightly, and he silently withdrew his hand, deciding to play it safe.

"Teacher, I..." Bethel looked bewildered; the unusual activity at Source Castle had affected him to some extent.

"Hmm..." Truman thought about it seriously for a moment, then looked at Bethel and said, "Use the 'door' to peek at the outside world."

"Yes!" Without much thought, Bethel activated his limited access to the gray fog to probe the eerie aura outside.

At the same time, Truman made himself appear illusory, his figure ethereal, as if he had merged into the gray mist.

hum!

The gray fog flowed, breaking open a small hole, mirroring the space and revealing the outside world.

Just in time, Bethel and Truman saw the alluring goddess emerge from the mirror.

"Chik?!" Truman's faint figure swayed for a moment.

"It's Him!" Bethel exclaimed in astonishment.

"...Have you seen Him?" Truman looked at Bethel.

"He was a traitor to the Dream Cult. I hunted him down for a time, but I never imagined he had become a god."

Bethel's expression was peculiar as he recounted in detail his encounter with Chick, their subsequent fight, and the covert pursuit.

"Then why aren't you telling me?!" Truman glared.

"At that time, you were playing against several ancient gods, how could I dare to disturb you for the sake of a demigod..." Bethelio said, feeling bewildered.

Truman was speechless.

Fighting the Elf King at the end of the Second Age, tricking the Imaginary Dragon, and sowing discord between the Giant King and the Phoenix Ancestor—these things were far more important than a demigod.

Even if he had known Chick's name at the time, he wouldn't have had time to deal with her.

By the middle of the Third Age, when he returned from the stars, Chick had become an angel and had disappeared for many years.

Truman shook his head slightly, no longer dwelling on it, and his gaze fell on Chick, whose strange aura made him somewhat uneasy.

The last time it was "the end of the world," now it has become "the beginning."

"He released the mark of the 'original' and became the feminine aspect of that being completely."

Truman quickly realized this.

"Did He get anything from those marks?!" Truman immediately suspected this.

"And I feel like His current state is related to me!"

Truman frowned in thought. "Tsk, this is a bit tricky."

He only needed a single breath to think before he sent the Book of Dreams to the world.

"You should also join the battle and see if you can take down Alistair first," Truman instructed Bethel.

"Yes!" Bethel nodded solemnly, then used the power of the "Gate" authority to leave the fog.

Truman looked up at the four true gods outside the mist.

"God of Knowledge and Wisdom", "Mother Earth", "God of War", "Lord of Storms".

"Huh? Where's Amanises?" Truman then realized that He hadn't appeared at the scene of the God War or here at all.

He didn't dwell on it, but instead focused his attention on the "Hidden Sage".

hum!

An endless stream of information surged from the void, and a dreamlike book fell from the void, merging with the information stream.

In this way, this flow of information is empowered by the source, and is now close to being a true god.

"I am now just a 'hidden sage'."

Currently, the gods who know that the "Hidden Sage" is Truman are the "Black Emperor" and the "Hanged Man." Below the true gods, there are only the "Craftsman" and Medici.

These people were all on his side, so he wasn't afraid of the news leaking out.

"Walk!"

Truman, disguised as an information stream, merges into the world and quietly arrives on the vast battlefield.

In the astral plane, there are emperors of two great empires, while in the real world, there are the "Primal Witch" and the "True Creator".

The battle of gods was intense enough.

Truman turned his gaze to Medici.

He will be the key to this war.

"Damn it!" Medici retreated from the shadows in a fit of rage. Due to the interference of the "Primal Witch," he was unable to return to the "True God Kingdom" and almost fell into the underworld.

"Accept your fate." Adam raised the cross in his hand, as if a divine decree had been issued.

Under the power of the "illusory" authority represented by uniqueness, Medici was indeed greatly affected, and his own characteristics began to become unstable, converging in the direction of Arista Tudor.

"Fuck your fate!" Medici swore, a curse he'd picked up from Truman, as he drew a phantom longsword covered in dark red rust from within his body.

His eyes flashed with scenes of armies marching and fighting. "Einhorn" and Sauron, who was controlled by "The Fall," also came behind him and became his comrades.

These three standing together form the most powerful combination for the "Red Priest" pathway!

A certain power was bestowed upon Him, and He launched a "massacre" against Adam, who was holding a cross!

At the same time, layers of radiant wings unfolded behind Adam, and Ouroboros stepped out from them, his gaze falling on Adam.

At this moment, Adam became the most unfortunate king of angels.

Adam sensed the change in his fortunes but didn't care. He faced the "massacre" head-on and brought out the preparations he had made for this moment.

That preparation has already been solidified in the uniqueness of the "dreamer" approach, so there will be no situation where it cannot be produced.

Clang!

A bone portal appeared before Adam, followed by a series of dark stone pillars that rose up, supporting a magnificent and enormous church.

The church is constructed from the bones of different races, with a cross over a hundred meters tall standing at its very center. This gives the church a sense of holiness, rather than a sinister or terrifying atmosphere.

This is the first time the Church of the Bones has appeared in this world, and its essence is the uniqueness of the "Dreamer"!

Both Ouroboros and Medici were forcibly enveloped in the Church of Bones and fell inside.

Clang!

Terrifying sounds emanated from the Church of Bones, whose stained-glass windows reflected the churning blood and fire within.
