Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 166 "Hidden Emperor"

Crimson banners fluttered, stirring up rolling waves of blood. The true power of annihilation was brewing within this Information God Kingdom, causing various natural disasters, such as earthquakes and meteorites, to tremble throughout the entire kingdom.

"I see..." Truman sensed this power and became even more cautious.

In his madness, the Blood Emperor fully unleashed the power of the "City of Calamity," which could very well lead to the emergence of half a "Cataclysmic Disaster" or a "Calamity of Origin."

Of course, such a thing will not happen.

Aside from his fantasy, the Fourth Age would not allow such a powerful god to exist!

Truman snapped his fingers, activating his power.

The Blood Emperor, who was waving his crimson banners and summoning the "City of Calamity," suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A certain power exploded within the Blood Emperor, and Alistair even found the version of himself that had not yet gone mad after that power exploded.

At that time, he was still an angel under the Black Emperor, and he was not persuaded by Adam to undertake a mad attempt that was destined to fail.

A dreamlike phosphorescence seeped from the Blood Emperor's body, gradually gathering above his head to form the shape of a book.

Meanwhile, the Book of Dreams within Truman transferred even more power to him through the authority of "Truth".

Just as the Blood Emperor briefly suppressed his characteristics and the madness inherent in his source essence, falling into self-doubt, the blood-red banner in his hand instantly dimmed and became insignificant, before being completely shattered by the impact of the dreamlike phosphorescence.

"You!" The Blood Emperor suddenly looked up at Truman.

"No...it's not just you!"

"And...Adam!?"

The Blood Emperor realized the key: the "Red Priest" potion was prepared for Him by Adam. Adam couldn't possibly have missed the dreamlike phosphorescence it contained, but... Adam hadn't warned Him.

Whenever Adam offered a word of advice, He would not devote all His power to the sacrifice, but would instead prioritize suppressing the dreamlike power within Him.

Congratulations, you got it right again.

Truman shows no mercy to his enemies, so he seizes this opportunity to throw out the spear of fate.

laugh!

A flash of fate illuminated the Blood Emperor's body, and this time all the phantoms, including the "soldier" and the "prey," shattered instantly.

The spear of fate pointed downwards, nailing the "Red Priest" to His altar.

The blood-red cloak moved without wind, like a writhing mass of flesh.

It wanted to envelop Alistair, but it itself had already been pierced by the spear of fate and could only hang limply in the end.

Truman stepped onto the altar and came before Alistair.

"...Was everything I did within your expectations?" Alistair suddenly asked.

"Yes." Truman pressed the Dream Book, formed from the dreamlike phosphorescence, back into Alistair's body.

The emotions in the Blood Emperor's eyes suddenly exploded.

"But... without me, you can succeed. You can become the true Blood Emperor."

Truman added this sentence, and the Blood Emperor suddenly fell silent.

His eyes flashed with the dream Truman had sent him through the "illusion".

Although the Blood Emperor in the original timeline was insane, he was also one of the strongest true gods. Only with the support of a dynasty could his power reach its peak.

He is a half-mad true god, who has even done the insane thing of taking all the gods to their demise.

Although He ultimately failed and died, He dared to do it!

Gods who are this crazy are rare.

"Oh……"

The madness in Alistair's eyes completely faded, leaving them devoid of light.

Truman pondered for a moment, replaced the Spear of Destiny with a fake one, and then waved his hand to disperse the Information Kingdom.

As the bizarre and overwhelming flood of information receded, the altar of the "Red Priest" was revealed in the real world, and information and the outside world came into contact.

At that moment, the fierce divine war in the astral realm came to an abrupt end.

All the true gods looked toward the Blood Emperor on the altar.

His life is fading.

The Blood Emperor was killed by the "Hidden Sage".

The whole world received this message.

"waste!"

Leodorus's voice exploded with lightning, and the anger within it terrified countless people.

They don't know what was discovered in the Kingdom of Information, but it is an indisputable fact that the Blood Emperor was killed by another true god.

Anyone can find several reasons for Him, such as that He was not in good condition after being promoted, or that He was not familiar with the authority due to the method of usurping power...

But none of this can change one fact.

The Blood Emperor was definitely the shortest-lived god.

And the "Hidden Sage" will truly take center stage in the battle of the gods.

The first to leave was Dream, whose sea of ​​dreams transformed into a human form, leaping into the vast, endless gray mist and disappearing from sight.

"Hmph!" Thunder and Twilight vanished directly from the Astral Plane. They had failed to protect their "allies," and the war of the gods was meaningless.

Then the Earth Mother, the Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom, and others also vanished as symbols.

Clang!

The shadow world was pierced and torn to pieces by the mad "Primal Witch," but Sasriel only glanced at it before returning to his divine realm.

"The Primal Witch" Chick regained her freedom and frantically crashed into the gray mist.

Clang!

An illusory portal closed, and the gray fog became the most solid wall, blocking everything from entering.

Truman's lips twitched a few times, then he coldly looked away.

He is now the "Hidden Sage," not a dream.

He looked at the slain Blood Emperor, whose state, for some reason, had not collapsed.

Just then, a cloud of skulls landed on the "Hidden Sage's" head and swallowed his body.

Truman did not resist, allowing the skull cloud to isolate him.

A true god weakened by killing a true god of the same level should not have the power to face a second true god.

This makes the separation reasonable enough.

A dark river emerged from the deepest part of the spirit world, the underworld, and swallowed the Blood Emperor's corpse.

When the "Hidden Sage" appeared, everything disappeared.

"They've taken the bait..." Truman's eyes reflected the dark river that had just appeared.

Just now, "Death" Salinger stole the Blood Emperor's corpse.

"The state of the 'River of Eternal Darkness' is a bit too good." Truman confirmed the state of the "River of Eternal Darkness".

As a source substance that had already infiltrated the Second Era, the "River of Eternal Darkness" had been completely stabilized by the two "Grim Reapers," and even Truman could not remove it.

Forcibly removing it is no less than waging war against an "old one".

"Mr. Hermit." The Black Emperor arrived on this battlefield, distorting the various contaminations caused by the Blood Emperor back to normal levels.

"Would Mr. 'The Hermit' be willing to form an alliance with my empire?" Solomon sensed that Truman did not want to reveal his identity and had deliberately come here to ask Truman.

"I don't mind having another 'Hidden Emperor' in my kingdom." Solomon directly promised the "Hidden Emperor" status as an equal.
