Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 504, Second Half

Inside a small, unnoticed chapel on the outskirts of Backlund.

A priest dressed in a simple white robe and with a light blond beard opened his eyes, revealing a childlike clarity and innocence.

He calmly picked up the cross from his chest and prayed silently.

His body was actually trembling slightly, and the cross in his hand was shimmering with golden light.

A powerful force of aggregation was surging, but it was all forcibly suppressed by Him.

Apart from that, He didn't do anything else, as if He had given up the opportunity.

……

Thus ended a divine war and the crisis it caused.

The course of the battle unfolded exactly as many had predicted, but the outcome was truly astonishing.

"As for dealing with the Church of the God of War, we only need to purge the most devout middle and upper echelons who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their faith. This is the Goddess's leniency and mercy..."

"We will not withdraw the faith in the God of War, but rather provide some guidance, because it has begun to point towards the Goddess..."

"Fusak, don't touch it, those are spoils of war from the Church of the Earth Mother..."

"The Eggers family will receive the support of the Church..."

"The Church can participate appropriately in the upcoming war, but its primary focus should be on assimilating the strength of the Church of the God of War..."

The "Hidden Angel" speaks with several angels in the tranquil church, including Klein and Azik Eggers.

The Church of the Earth Mother has completely withdrawn, and the remaining members of the Church of the God of War will naturally be dealt with by others; there is no need for angels to be dispatched.

"Let's leave it at that for now..." The "Hidden Angel" spoke for a good ten minutes, outlining all the arrangements, with the other popes overseeing the implementation.

"As for you," the "Hidden Angel" thought for a moment and said, "you may choose any one of the level zero sealed artifacts from the Church of the God of War."

The Church of War also possesses numerous level-zero sealed artifacts, given that it is one of the oldest churches, now entirely belonging to the Church of Night.

This is also a gift from the Goddess of Night to the angels who participated in the battle.

"Yes." None of the angels present showed any change in expression.

"Um..." Klein suddenly raised his hand, "Could I exchange this level zero sealed artifact for a chance to ask you to help me?"

Of course, "you" here refers to "Hidden Angel," not "Goddess of the Night."

But the "Hidden Angel" also has a special attack against Antigonus...

Klein felt he had a better grasp of how to deal with Antigonus.

"Okay." The Hidden Angel nodded gently in agreement.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he learned that the person in front of him was the goddess's "human form," Klein's pressure had increased even more.

"Alright, everyone go your separate ways." The body of the "Hidden Angel" gradually faded away and was finally erased by an eraser.

The angels present also went about their own business.

Azik Eggers directly chose Larion's extraordinary trait, which is equivalent to a level zero sealed artifact.

"I knew the Goddess of Night would win, but I didn't expect it to be this way." Azik was about to leave, and Klein was about to see him off and ask him some questions.

"Mr. Azik, do you know something?" Klein suddenly asked.

Although Klein's status is now higher than Mr. Azik's, the knowledge and acumen accumulated over many years cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.

This time, Azik made the right choice when the Aegis family was not prepared to support the Church of the Night, which seems to go beyond being simply summarized as wisdom and courage.

"If..." Azik slowed his pace and glanced at the curious Klein.

On a whim, Klein immediately created a "mysterious realm" around himself, casting shadows over the two of them to ensure that no third person could hear their conversation.

"I mean, if..." Azik nodded slightly, speaking with a hint of uncertainty, "...there was an organization that controlled almost everything, weaving destiny and manipulating time, how would the world have developed?"

"Like the 'Redemption Rose'?" Klein asked after thinking for a moment. "In that case, the world would probably have to operate according to its will."

"Redemption Rose" is definitely the most outrageous of the many known mysterious organizations, most of whose members have become gods and have had a profound impact on the development of the world.

"My Father God once told me to be wary of illusions, and also to be wary of everything left behind by the Creator of the Third Age."

"And on many occasions, these two are standing together."

Mr. Azik said softly, "And who could have started plotting back then, stealing the fate of Queen Omibella the Giant, replacing her with the progenitor of the vampires, and then delivering the fatal blow today?"

Klein suddenly felt a chill run through him; this was truly a terrifying ghost story.

The answer is probably quite clear: at that time, only the "Ancient Sun God" had this ability, and Amon had not yet been born.

There might also be Dream's involvement, after all, at that time he was the Dream Pope of the Church of the Night.

"These four..." Klein quickly stopped himself from speaking. Some things are better left unsaid.

"Hmm." Mr. Azik nodded slightly and began to talk about his own affairs, "This time, the Eggers family has boarded the ship, so surviving until the end of the world is no longer a problem."

"I have nothing left to worry about, but you..."

"You can also write to me if needed."

"..." Klein nodded silently.

"Then I'll be going now, goodbye." Mr. Azik waved casually and left the "Mysterious Realm" directly, using the Spirit World to leave Wintershire.

Klein turned his head to look at the serene sanctuary that remained completely undamaged and had stood for thousands of years, and stopped in his tracks.

He cannot leave here for the time being, after all, this war has only been fought in its first half at most.

The holy war between the Church of the Night and the Church of the God of War was the spark that ignited a world war, but when the world was in chaos, the outcome of the battle between the Church of the Night and the Church of the God of War actually had little impact on the subsequent fighting.

Regardless of who wins, both sides will focus their energy on taking over everything from the defeated party, leaving them with no energy to attend to anything else.

Meanwhile, the Solomon Empire had not yet gained enough benefits, Medici had not yet become the "Red Priest," and the Rune had not yet become a true god family...

This war that is sweeping the world is far from over...

Klein's sense of relief after the victory turned somber again.

He teleported directly to the "Source Castle" and used causality to observe various parts of the world.

"The war in Backlund ceased the moment the God of War died; the casualties from the war were not yet too great..."

"Fusak has completely withdrawn his troops and it is estimated that he will soon be taken over entirely by the Church of Mother Earth..."

"Justice," "Judgment," "Magician," "Star," and others are all safe."
