Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 505 Adam's Manipulation

The Church of the Night won the Holy War and gradually took over everything from the Church of the God of War.

But the world did not become calm as a result; on the contrary, wars became even more intense because of it.

Many angels or true gods who possess sufficient knowledge would realize with just a thought what the Earth Mother and the Goddess of Night had gained in the Holy War.

These two goddesses were the first among all the true gods to have gathered all the adjacent pathways!

They only need to wait for the appearance of the "Lord of Mysteries" and for the seal of the gray mist to be weakened before they can try to find and control the source matter!

As the end times approached, at the moment the God of War's kingdom collapsed, all the true gods faced the power of the Outer Gods head-on, knowing its greatness and invincibility, and naturally they would yearn to go even further.

Even the true gods are naturally prone to mood swings, which directly manifests in wars by increasing their intensity.

"If the war continues at this intensity, our final battle will soon be upon us." King George III, having coordinated all resources and troops within Rune, made an accurate assessment of the current situation.

"There's no need to wait any longer. I'm going to Fenneport." Adam suddenly appeared out of thin air, without even King George III, an angel, not noticing.

"I will return with the last copy of the 'Hand of Order,' and you can begin preparing for the final ritual." Adam's gaze remained as clear as a child's, and even the greatest fear of Him would crumble silently.

"You just need to remember your promise."

Adam looked into the deepest darkness of the palace, where a figure that had almost materialized into a tangible form sat.

He seems to have lost his physical body and become the embodiment of the rules, something William Augustus had been preparing for over a thousand years in the Kingdom of Rune.

—He has become synonymous with concepts such as law and rules, and has become the embodiment of rules in the hearts of the people of Rune.

"Alright," William Augustus, the embodiment of the rules, nodded silently.

It was probably after the collapse of the Ternsost Empire at the end of the Fourth Age that William Augustus approached Adam.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

William Augustus was at the height of his power when he received a "Hand of Order," which allowed him to split at least a third of the Terensust Empire's territory and establish the Loen.

Therefore, He followed the example of Solomon, who had visited a dream and gained the opportunity to become a god, and went to find Adam.

As for why he didn't go directly to Dream, it's because the paths of the "Black Emperor" and the "Judge" are adjacent, and he was a full era later than Solomon.

After a secret but notarized covenant, William Augustus gained Adam's full support and is now ready to prepare for the final initiation ceremony.

Adam nodded slightly to his collaborator, whose figure then vanished from the palace.

"Derlinck." Within William Augustus's body, the embodiment of rules, a pair of golden eyes, exuding intense majesty, opened, carrying a chilling aura of rules.

"Yes!" Delink Augustus held this ancestor in great awe.

"Go to the Church of Storms in person to see King Gard II and ask the Church of Storms to devote all its efforts to this war and fill the void left by the Church of Night." William Augustus acted according to the plan that had been set long ago.

"Alright," Delink nodded solemnly, then paused for two seconds before asking, "What if King Gard II agrees to our demands?"

"No," William Augustus said calmly. "The popes of the Church of Storms all have personalities that are completely opposite to those of the Lord of Storms, and Gard II is no exception."

For reasons unknown, the first criterion the Lord of Storms chose when selecting a Pope was not piety and majesty, but wisdom…

"Gard II only has eyes for the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. He is probably quite happy to see us and the Castilian family both suffer heavy losses, and to weaken the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom as much as possible."

William Augustus chose the Church of Storms as his target, so he naturally had sufficient knowledge of it.

"Okay, I'll go to Passu Island." Delin Keugus nodded.

"I'm going to prepare for the final ceremony." King George III also left quickly.

William Augustus closed his eyes. Behind him, the Scepter of Order and the brass book glowed with a golden light, resonating with the rules and order emanating from him.

……

Adam left the Royal Palace of Loen, but he suddenly stopped and looked to the side.

Truman waited patiently, a glass of bubbly sweet wine in his hand.

"Do you want to come with me?" Adam thought for a moment and understood Truman's thoughts.

"Since you've invited me, I won't stand on ceremony!" Truman raised an eyebrow, finished his soda, and walked over to Adam.

Adam never imagined that his plan could be kept from Truman, so he remained unusually calm and accompanied Truman to a battlefield between Fennepot and Rune.

"How did you know Castile was here?" Truman looked in one direction and suddenly laughed.

"Oh, Medici? He actually cooperated with you? That's unbelievable." Truman was full of surprise.

"What's wrong with cooperating with me? Without resorting to 'daydreams,' you're no match for me." Adam's childlike, clear eyes gazed at the battlefield that resembled a meat grinder, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

This is the real "audience".

"..." Truman's lips twitched. What he was good at was actually dominating the situation and having the upper hand, which had been the case since the Second Era.

After gaining the power to "make fantasies come true," he became even lazier. Often, just a thought would arise, and the world would tilt toward the future he envisioned.

Adam, on the other hand, is better at grasping the mind and stirring up conflict, starting with the characters and directing the historical trend.

"That's quite interesting." Truman turned his attention to this battlefield.

The intensity of the battle here was far less than that of the holy war that had previously taken place in Wintershire.

After all, it wasn't a battle for the life or death of a single church. True god-level forces such as the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the Storm Church, and the Church of the True Creator hadn't yet truly committed all their resources to the battlefield.

But under Adam's manipulation, the undercurrents beneath this battlefield became even more turbulent.

"It seems Medici is close to succeeding." Truman looked towards one side of the battlefield, where the army of the Church of the "True Creator" was stationed, which was actually the Medici Legion.

His ritual has now reached a critical moment; once He wins this battle, His ritual will be complete.

Of course, this step is also very difficult, as the friend or foe is unclear, and the friend or foe may even change to some extent.

From this perspective, this battlefield is far more complex than the previous holy war.
