Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

As they brushed past each other, Invincible's fingers flickered, and a purplish-black void flame burned on the girl's clean work clothes, leaving a string of chaotic runes before extinguishing.

The strange symbols do not belong to any earthly civilization, and no one but the Chaos Apostles can understand them. They are the true names of the Destroyers of All Realms, engraved deep within Purgatory.

"Th-thank you!"

The orc girl blushed and cheered with joy until she watched Invincible step into the portal and disappear into the pillar of light.

The girl waved her hand and quickly took off her uniform jacket to keep it safe. Unfortunately, she didn't recognize any of the runes. Before long, someone whispered, interrupting her reverie. Normally, there weren't many guests visiting the Crimson Lotus Dynasty at this time.

"The City of Blazing Inferno, you two."

"Um, please wait a moment!"

There were two men, their faces concealed by cloaks. Adventurers were a common sight in the galaxy, and the girl paid them no mind. She merely glanced at them curiously before opening the portal door, and the magic crystal device recharged the portal's beam of light once more.

The adventurer following behind suddenly stopped and hesitated, saying, "Uncle, we barely escaped, what are you doing?"

"Are you deaf? Didn't I say it's the City of Blazing Fire? Or... are you questioning me?"

The other adventurer was tall and thin, with an unfriendly tone, and seemed extremely disdainful of his younger companion.

"But we're wanted by the authorities right now. It would be terrible if Heloise's people found us!"

The former's voice trembled slightly, revealing timidity and cowardice, yet it was filled with anger and resentment, indicating extreme tension.

The latter tapped the hilt of his sword at his waist and threatened, "Enough nonsense. Either come with me, or I'll carry your corpse to you. Do you still think you're the Azure King? Without the blood of the Emperor and your incompetent father, you are nothing. Remember, the only reason you've survived this long is because of good luck!"

The younger adventurers lowered their heads, clenched their fists, and had no choice but to step into the portal's pillar of light.

The two barely escaped from the Azure Province, killing two adventurers at the border to use their identities as proof of entry into the galaxy. Little did they expect that they would be jumping into another fire pit after just escaping danger. They should know that the Crimson Lotus Dynasty was the territory of the Revolutionary Army, and that hot-tempered and beautiful empress was not to be trifled with.

The orc girl couldn't understand the language of the allied humans, but she vaguely sensed a lack of harmony. Otherwise, she would have been surprised by the two men's special identities. They were Talion and Dalton, the Azure Duke who had lost his homeland and the Guardian Knight who had betrayed his creed.

Dalton was furious, but he had always been furious. Ever since he met that damned witch in St. Lenza, everything had changed. The Temple of War, which he was so proud of, was no match for him, and even the Temple of Heroes had become a spoil of war of the Temple of Love and Wisdom.

Now, as the Azure King, Dalton has not only lost his entire dynasty, but his all-powerful father has also been betrayed by the Cherry Twins, those two heartless and ruthless traitors who have taken away everything that should have been his.

Dalton has only one hope left: Talion. Perhaps he can use his uncle's connections and influence to gather some subordinates from the vassal kingdoms, gain the approval of the noble factions, regroup, and return to Avalon!

Such a beautiful dream can probably only exist in dreams. The Azure Duke is now infamous in all the provinces, and even the stubborn nobles who have been implicated are extremely resentful. Dalton will never know that the madman next to him is the culprit who caused all this tragedy.

As the spatial fluctuations dissipated and the surrounding vision gradually cleared, a cold wind swept in from all sides. Dalton subconsciously took a step forward, but his foot slipped and he almost fell. Fortunately, Talion grabbed him by the collar.

"this!?"

Dalton looked closely and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. They were on the edge of a cliff, with a dark cloud hanging over them, and the ground beneath their feet was barely wide enough to stand on.

"This is not the City of Blazing Inferno at all!"

"Shut up!"

"This is not it," Talion said, his face grim. With a shout, he instantly understood his predicament.

The Voidwalkers of the portal had been tampered with; they've been exposed. As expected of the invincible ones, it seems the rumors that the witch personally shattered the ambitions of the Amethyst Dragon Mother and the Lord of the Tides are true. A more terrifying opponent than Sion.

Talion raised his head slightly, and sure enough, the black knight, clad in heavy armor, appeared above him, holding a purple broken greatsword and hovering in the air, exuding murderous intent. He suddenly began to wonder whether he was lucky or unlucky. He thought he had just stumbled upon the aura of the teleportation demon god he had been searching for and wanted to take action, but he did not expect to fall into a trap instead.

Keller Tiffany would be very qualified to speak on this matter, as she had all her favor on one person.

"Invincible! It's over, it's over, how could she be here!?"

Dalton, belatedly realizing what was happening, was terrified. His legs trembled, and he frantically drew his golden greatsword, his face filled with fear. He cursed his uncle for being foolish and causing him trouble, given the extremely bad relationship between him and Nolan.

At least Dalton had some self-awareness. The so-called invincible top-level mentor and the beautiful and charming new student were the same person. The silver-haired girl he once boasted about taking as his war slave had already reached the pinnacle of the mortal world, while he himself was still lingering in the same place. At this moment, the two sides were not equal in terms of strength or status.

Talion's face was grim. Seeing the pathetic behavior of the good-for-nothing beside him only made him more annoyed. The only thing that puzzled him the most was why the excellent bloodline of the human emperor was not reflected in Dalton at all. His already incompetent brother was able to break through the bottom line and create another low-IQ idiot, who was not even qualified to be the host of the Sad Demon God.

892. Past tense

The invincible cold gaze fixed on the ants below. The cliff in the clouds might not mean much to the two Wind Warriors, but the powerful pressure firmly held the power of speech in her hands, even before she had spoken.

"Please wait a moment!"

Talion remained calm, removing his cloak to reveal his aged face. Instead of summoning the Scorpion Man to unleash the Weakness Curse as Invincible had expected, he bowed respectfully in a humble manner, the highest form of etiquette at the Round Table, since they were both from the Holy Alliance.

"Chaos Knight, the spokesperson for the great destroyer of all realms, I am filled with awe for the Throne of Chaos. My unauthorized pursuit of your footsteps is not out of provocation, but because you possess something we desire. Perhaps we can make a deal."

If Invincible hadn't witnessed Talion's arrogance during the battle at the Azure Palace, he would have almost believed his words. The devil's most adept tricks were on full display in the Azure Guardian Knight, even though he disdained associating with the Cursed God.

"A deal... You dare to talk to me about a deal?"

Invincible chuckled coldly, pressing his greatsword down heavily. The purple blade instantly shattered the spatial barrier, and surging air waves tore through the heavy clouds. As the void rifts spread through the air, several void turbulences brought the demon that Talion least wanted to see.

The laughing fallen seraph, the silent burning arsonist, the bald dwarf and the clown in a suit with their sinister gazes are extremely unsettling, and there is also a frost-bound giant lurking behind the plane, whose massive body could easily flatten a primordial plane.

Even Talion found it difficult to remain calm when facing the Six Paths Entropy Demon. His heart raced, and he suppressed his nervousness, slowly saying, "You must also know this old friend beside me. Please allow me to introduce myself first. I am the Azure Guardian Knight, one of the Seven Luminaries Guardians, and a descendant of the Human Queen of the Allied Peoples."

"It used to be."

Invincible corrected her, saying that if Talion thought the Chaotic Throne knew nothing about what was happening in the Azure Province, she would be sorely mistaken. She couldn't be bothered with a bunch of dead people, and she had no interest in stray dogs either.

"Yes, we have lost our homeland, are powerless to fight the revolutionary army, and have no territory or faith to offer to the throne of chaos. But you might as well listen to my conditions first."

"You want her?"

Invincible patted the girl on his back.

"Yes."

Talion nodded. Serantia and Roland had ruined all his hard work. Now, only by gathering the four White Demons could he contend with the Abyss. He never expected that the lost Bone Twins would fall into Nolan's hands again after passing through Tess's hands.

"Demon curses are worthless to Chaos Apostles, and a little bit of dark power is nothing to you. But if you hand over the Instantaneous Body Demon God to me, I am willing to share all my research results with you!"

"Oh?"

Invincible tilted his head, seemingly very interested, but the giant sword in his hand was gradually losing patience.

"Truth is the supreme law that mortals can only dream of, the sole mark of ascension to godhood. But what else is there? Whether high and mighty gods or foolish and lowly mortals, they know nothing of truth! But I can transform it into the most terrifying weapon in the world, a revolutionary war machine far surpassing magic crystal cannons. I call it a divine weapon. Neither dragon riders nor hordes of beasts can stand against it. I will offer you a... Legion of Truth!"

Talion was beaming, proud and excited. Having witnessed the assassination attempt in the palace, the Black Knight knew he had every right to be proud.

The war machine created by this madman was beyond the control of even the demon warrior Sion. Its only flaw was the same as that of the gods: a fragile immortal body. Talion became the master of truth, but made other vessels bear the price of his dominion. That's the most interesting part, it's simply unbelievable.

"Simply put, you want to control a god as your slave. There's a limit to jokes. Do you know how powerful a soul empowered by faith is? Even soul magic and forbidden mental spells can't shake it!"

The Desolate Entropy scoffed, thinking that this idiot had started spouting nonsense in order to survive. This aroused the wrath of the Azure Guardian Knight. He could disregard honor and blood ties, but he could not insult the results of his research that he had spent most of his life on!

"They are not gods, but merely my sacrifices. The truth remains in my hands!"

Invincible waved her hand, stopping the Fallen Seraph from continuing to mock the extreme old man. If she hadn't personally witnessed the Sorrowful Demon God reduced to a divine weapon, she wouldn't have been able to believe it.

"So, you've cracked the secret of the runes."

Only this possibility could allow Talion to understand the Curse of Weakness better than the Grief Demon, but that would be far too astonishing, because every god possesses his own unique language to wield power and unleash truth—that is runes. They are like a complex combination lock with multiple layers of encryption, and without the guidance and teachings of the divine master, apostles would find it difficult to understand and use them.

This guy may not have the power of Zhang Tiange, but he is on par with the gods in the spiritual world. He is self-taught and can imitate their handwriting at will, turning the tables on them!

Talion's body trembled, his eyes shining with excitement, as if he had found a kindred spirit. Finally, someone understood how great his work was. His heart had long since abandoned his country and nation, leaving only the fervor to uncover the truth, like a heretical scholar, a rune decipherer who went against the Master of Joy.

"I knew it! I knew it! Only a creator like you could understand the value of my research!"

Talion's unusual behavior terrified Dalton. With his intelligence, he couldn't understand a single word and only knew that he could die at any moment in front of the Six Paths Entropy Demon, so he dared not make a sound.

"........"

Putting aside that ridiculous name, Invincible felt that these puppet soldiers were more like a group of false gods, a loyal army of warriors who possessed the truth, and it would be hard for anyone not to be tempted.

The Black Knight was silent for a moment, then said mockingly, "I know all that you're saying, but even if I kill you, I can still extract valuable information from your souls."

Dalton's face paled. Had he known this girl was so vengeful, he would never have provoked the Joestar family. Talion, however, shouted out his views on the structure of the Chaotic Era.

"No, you need me, a living me! The shadows of the past have already fallen, the wicked Mother Goddess has returned, and the conspiracy of Death and the Night Mother is to plunge the whole world into the abyss of depravity. They want to usurp the throne and strip away the light. If you have seen Roland as he is now, as I have, you should know that the Father is doomed to defeat. When the eternal night descends, the line between life and death will be forever broken, and the walking dead will become the rulers of the new world. Life will have no dignity, and faith will be worthless!"

893. Golden Dung Ball

Wonderful.......

This time, Invincible finally sheathed his broken greatsword. The two wisps of ethereal flame deep within his eye sockets conveyed the appreciation of the beautiful goddess-king. Talion's deductions were partially off, but largely correct. He had already fully demonstrated his value by discerning the Night Mother's ambitions from mere surface clues.

"So what do you think I should do?"

Talion racked his brains, his will to survive growing stronger. He licked his lips, and with trembling hands, he slowly raised them, trying to grab onto something.

"Divine weapons! The Throne of Chaos needs divine weapons, this world needs divine weapons. Truth should not be a tool for the gods to exploit mortals; it can also be our weapon!"

Invincible clapped softly, praising silently. This was the treasure she had seen in mortals since her descent into the world—those dazzling qualities that had gradually been lost in the gods but inherited by mortals. She saw their stubbornness and their obstinacy.

Therefore, the Destroyer of All Realms returned the choice to every mortal. Some chose to turn a blind eye, while others held on tightly.

“You’ve succeeded. I do need a smart person to do something interesting. From today onwards, you are my White Lich, and when the time is right, we will take over the Great Tomb.”

Talion clenched his fists, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt his heart relax. But Invincible's next words made him feel like he had eaten shit.

"But the divine essence of the Sorrowful Demon God must be given to me. It and the Instantaneous Demon God are still of great use to me. No one can interfere with the awakening of the Eight Pillars."

"As you wish."

Talion was extremely unwilling, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree. He had no room for negotiation; this was the tyranny of the Lord of Chaos.

"Don't be so sad. As compensation, I will give you other research on divinity. I also want to see if you can really decipher the runes of all the gods and master their truths. Prove your worth to me."

"I will definitely not let you down!"

The surprise came suddenly. For Talion, all truths mattered; his personal grudges with Thrantia and Sion seemed less important. At the same time, he felt a chill; the Chaos Spokesperson's casual remark seemed to have already announced the imminent fall of a god…

The secondary plane Gordon, the Kingdom of Saru.

Where Skuld is, there is never a lack of noise. Even in her mature form, she still retains her childish mind. The journey is filled with petty bickering. The three of them head towards the capital Gillette without using any vehicles. They encounter other conflicts along the way, but Nolan avoids them all. The chaos is particularly evident in the sub-plane.

Nolan had a vague idea of ​​what Keller Tiffany's purpose was; fate was calling her, and this might be her final journey.

Whether it was day or night, Nolan never stopped. She held a sleeping girl in her arms, like a lonely pilgrim. Space was not an obstacle for her. This strange scene always confused Skadi.

Three days later, they finally arrived in Gillette. The ancient golden city built in the sand dunes looked like a dung ball, piled up with sand and gold by dung beetles that came from all directions. The defenses of the Kingdom of Salu were quite loose. Anyone could easily pass through by drawing a few cheap gold coins minted by the kingdom.

Sub-planes are often gathering places for demi-humans, and the ruler of Saru is a huge two-headed monster. The king's statue stands on top of a golden dung ball, probably for the purpose of making his subjects look up to him. Although his comical appearance is not majestic at all, one can see some shadows of abyssal ogres and catastrophic beasts in him.

The extremely short cycle of day and night makes time seem to pass faster here. The silly angel, who had been cooped up in the city for several days and nights, screamed, startling a group of dwarves who had just passed the checkpoint behind her, who raised their weapons. She finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"It stinks in here! It's dry and hot! I can't stand it! Why aren't you two saying anything? At least tell me what we're here for?!" Skuld exclaimed in frustration.
