Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 423 Order

The ultimate goal of the Augustus family was actually the Church of Storms...

This was something Klein never expected; it was utterly absurd.

After all, even though the Augustus family outwardly believed in the Church of Storms, the majority of the upper echelons of Rune were still followers of the Church of Storms due to the Augustus family's deliberate interference.

Now that the Augustus family is going to investigate the Church of Storms, it will inevitably overthrow the noble class, and the Augustus family is the most powerful noble family in Rune!

This is like attacking oneself...

Klein only realized what he was facing when he truly stepped into the eye of the storm.

"This is just the beginning." Klein had calmed down.

"Not bad." King George III nodded slightly at Klein. Knowing who the opponent was, he was able to adjust himself so quickly. This subject was even more worthy of cultivation than he had imagined.

"Keep everything under wraps," George III instructed as Klein departed.

It is absolutely essential to keep this secret, otherwise, the Church of Storms has the ability to destroy all of the Augustus family's plans.

Excluding the special Dream Cult, there are only two major church forces in the Kingdom of Rune: the Storm Church and the Night Church.

The Church of the Night is a level above the Church of the Storm, with a faith that has been unbroken for two thousand years and is almost ingrained in the blood of the Rune people.

"The Storm Church's center of power has always been at sea, and there are quite a few cities like Generous City that are completely under its control, but that's the church..."

Klein emerged from the palace, still alarmed by the Augustus family's schemes.

Klein rode back to MI9 in a carriage. On the way, the deputy director of MI9 closed his eyes to rest, as if trying to calm his restless mind.

In reality, Klein's spirit had already arrived in that hidden world.

After entering this place last time, Klein gained the ability to come here, which is equivalent to being able to summon the "Hidden Angel" at any time.

"The Augustus family's target is the Church of Storms!"

"Enacting laws and cracking down on the nobility are all for the same purpose!"

"The Augustus family's partners include the Witch Cult, the Twilight Hermits' Society..."

Klein shared all the intelligence he had gathered over this period with the "Hidden Angel".

The ethereal "hidden angel," so faint it was practically a shadow, seemed to smile. "So, it really is the Church of Storms..."

Klein had a feeling that the "hidden angel" was implying something. If it wasn't a storm, could it be the night?

The Church of the Night's position in Rune is unshakeable, even by the Augustus family.

"However, you are wrong about one thing. The law was not enacted to crack down on the Church of Storms, but rather to demonstrate the authority of the law."

"The Hidden Angel" glanced at Klein.

"For the sake of the law?" Klein recalled his earlier conjecture.

"Or rather, the rules." The "Hidden Angel" was also guiding Klein.

"The rules..." Klein mused.

"Continue, I want to know more." The "Hidden Angel" waved her hand gently, and Klein returned directly to his body.

"Rules, or rather, order..." Klein's mind opened up, and he seemed to have found a suitable breakthrough point.

"I still need to go to the underworld." Klein waited quietly, and after returning to MI9, he took advantage of the night to sleep and directly projected his spirit into the spirit world.

Klein's spirit reached out and pulled, and the phosphorus insects on the gray mist directly sent down the angel-level paper doll and the "Scepter of the Sea God".

He was going to the Underworld, where there was information and a photograph of the Night Emperor of the Fourth Age!

Klein is now much stronger than before, and without the "Mother Tree of Desire" setup from that previous trip, this journey to the Underworld is much safer.

Klein could even sense that he had received a slight blessing from the underworld because of the Azik Bronze Whistle.

"This must be it..." Klein looked up and indeed saw the trail that ran through the entire underworld.

"'Night Emperor'..." Klein reached out and gently touched the causal thread, extending his perception over it.

laugh!

A beam of seven-colored light pierced the dim world, and Klein opened his eyes, as if he had returned to the battlefield more than two thousand years ago.

"...Die!" Klein seemed to hear a judgment from more than two thousand years ago. His spirituality seemed to be erased at this moment, but the next moment, the dreamlike phosphorescence in his body surged up and protected him.

This power and the dreamlike phosphorescence share the same origin, so naturally it won't harm him.

"It is the judgment of 'Supreme Dream'..." Klein looked at the origin of it all.

That place must be the deepest part of the underworld, the most intense and terrifying battlefield of the Fourth Age.

Clang!

Klein seemed to hear the soft murmur of the spear of fate as an indescribable ray of light pierced through a giant feathered serpent that seemed to be the embodiment of death and calamity.

The moment Klein saw the feathered serpent, he could no longer bear it, and the angelic paper doll he used to possess vanished silently.

"Don't look!" Klein's spirit issued a terrifying warning, and the dreamlike phosphorescence within his body surged, forcing Klein to close his eyes.

"What's going on?!" Klein dodged just in time. "This feeling is even more terrifying than that of a true god!"

When Klein regained his composure and opened his eyes again, he found himself at the very end of the war.

The spear of fate slain the "Night Emperor".

There is no beginning or process, only the final result.

Klein looked at the emperor, who exuded both majesty and nobility, and saw the book that looked like it was made of brass.

"This is the 'Judge'." Klein's eyes reflected the Dream Sea, and he secretly prayed to connect himself with the Dream Sea.

The purpose of doing this was naturally to directly confront this information of godlike importance.

"The 'arbitrator'..." Knowledge from the low, medium, and high sequences flooded Klein's mind.

Klein's eyes flickered as he looked directly at the highest-level, most secretive section.

"The Judge: Three 'Hands of Order' traits, uniqueness..."

"Ritual: Connecting oneself with the rules and even equating them with them, making them common knowledge among the people, and establishing a sufficiently strict order and rules that penetrates every corner of life, taking the potion in a grand trial against heretics."

Klein felt as if he were looking at a brass book that had been opened before his eyes, and every law and rule of that era was imprinted in his mind.

"This..." Klein was greatly shocked.

"The rite of becoming a god for the 'Judge'..." Klein thought of the legal reforms that Rune had been carrying out recently.

Following that incident of the evil god's sacrifice, the two major churches and the Dream Cult pushed for the formulation and implementation of the Survival Act.

This completely set off a wave of legal reforms in Rune.
