Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Chapter 44 Heaven's Cup

At opposite ends of the table, Olivia watched Hill III dine elegantly, her mind racing.

Since I entered, King Hill III has not only invited me to dine, but also taken the initiative to talk about some of the situations in the Council of Eternal Night, and then... proposed in-depth cooperation.

Olivia had never seen Hill III so proactive.

In terms of sheer strength, the Holy Light Church wasn't particularly powerful, but because it was backed by the strongest race, the Skywing Clan, no one dared to offend them easily.

Moreover, the Vatican would not easily engage in large-scale cooperation with hostile demon races or vampire races, let alone such a... highly lucrative cooperation.

Olivia couldn't understand it.

Although the Night Wing Clan has a relatively good relationship with the Holy Light Church, they are ultimately on opposing sides.

In this situation, is King Hill III's concession a sign that the Skywing Clan is planning something big?

As her thoughts raced, Olivia felt an urge to drink Li Xingzhou's blood, but she unconsciously swallowed and suppressed the urge.

This is not appropriate for this occasion.

"Drink if you want." King Hill III, who had been observing Olivia without making a sound, wiped his mouth and smiled slightly.

Deep down, it was strange. Although high-ranking vampires also drank blood, they were not as uncivilized as beasts, nor did they show their addiction.

Because the superior vampire species are mysterious, luxurious, and... pay great attention to elegant etiquette.

But Olivia actually showed signs of this addiction... That's strange.

Olivia felt the same way. The Holy Light Church, which considered itself a superior civilization, had always despised and hated the characteristics of beings like demons and vampires, believing it to be disrespectful to the Skywing race.

But at this moment, Hill III is not shying away from this fact in this Apostolic Palace.

When did the leader of the Skywing Cult become so magnanimous?

“You’ve misunderstood.” Olivia shook her head. She wanted to drink, but it would be impolite of her to drink without considering the occasion.

She changed the subject: "The cooperation the Pope just promised..."

“It’s in black and white.” Hill III looked directly into Olivia’s blood-red eyes: “The blood pact of the nobles can also be used.”

Olivia couldn't help but feel that something was fishy going on... Hill III was being far too eager!

I'm the one who sought the collaboration, so why do I feel like I've become the client?

But since they dared to use the blood pact...

Olivia paused for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Your Holiness is too kind. There's an old saying in the Realm of Enlightenment: 'Return a favor for a favor.' The Holy See will surely be interested in this intelligence that I stumbled upon."

She casually flipped a card, and a card with a blood moon engraved on the back slid to Hill III's front.

Hill III picked it up and frowned.

Are the demons planning to steal the Heaven's Cup during the Feast of Revelation?

King Hill III had no doubt about the strength and courage of the demon race, because the Pride and Greed among the seven sequences of the demon race were mainly composed of fallen angels.

Angels who fell from the Skywing race.

But... why?

Even if only the Archangel Elise is in charge of the Star Realm, the entire Star Realm is protected by light magic targeting them. Once their hostility is exposed, they will be targeted by light magic.

In this situation, how could he possibly steal the Heaven's Cup from the Land of Revelation?

"Really?" Hill III asked, his voice quickening.

The Heaven's Cup that Li Xingzhou has reserved must not be taken away by the demon race!

“Really?” Olivia nodded. “This is information we obtained by chance when we were confronting the demon race in the northern part of the Realm of Enlightenment some time ago.”

“Thank you.” King Hill III nodded. “This is very important!”

······

The words are divided into two parts.

Inside the guesthouse where the demon race was staying.

Inside the dark purple room, the nine-star demon king Modo, with goat horns on his head, devoured flesh and blood, his eyes filled with enjoyment.

As a high-ranking demon in the [Gluttony] sequence, he most enjoys human sacrifices to him, especially meat that dies without any warning and is processed within thirty minutes.

Because this kind of meat contains no emotion, it is firm, juicy, and exceptionally delicious.

Such delicacies can only be enjoyed on a large scale in the Starry Sky Realm or the Miri Realm.

Because the human races in these two places have some kind of "kill line," with a little cooperation, a large number of assembled Gundams can be sent over.

Although the human race under the rule of the Holy Light Church is better than the human race in the Mili Realm, this god-believing human race is, in a sense, the most prone to corruption.

He managed to eat his fill of Modo without continuing. If he ate any more, he would lose control of the Root, and once the Root could not be suppressed, it would be locked by the light magic of the Land of Revelation.

Now is not the time to expose ourselves.

As a high-ranking demon, his appearance and skin were almost indistinguishable from those of an ordinary person, except that he was much taller.

He sat up straight, licked the blood from his lips, felt the sudden cool breeze beside him, and turned his head to look. He saw a fat bird that looked like an owl flapping its dark wings in mid-air.

"You've arrived?"

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"But it still came." As the fat bird spoke, its magical power surged, and it transformed into a twelve-winged fallen angel with black hair and black eyes.

"why are you?"

Mordo narrowed his eyes, looking at Karl, one of the fallen seraphim of the [Pride] sequence.

"Don't talk to me, you stink."

Carl got up, went to the window, and pulled back the curtains. The moment he opened the window, a deafening cheer resounded through the sky.

It wasn't just because of the appearance of Pope Hill III, but also because of the Archangel Iris standing behind her like a guardian angel!

Between Elise's outstretched hands, a crescent-shaped piece of the Heavenly Cup, 'Yin', floated, containing unfathomable power.

Modo suddenly stood up: "Elise? Why did she come in person?!"

Starting thirty years ago, the Skywing Clan stopped personally appearing at the Holy Revelation Festival.

“The Heaven's Cup.” Karmor stroked his chin. “This item is of utmost importance, which is why the Skywing Clan sent Elise down to oversee it personally.”

They'll usually be sent back to the Skywing Clan after they leave the stage.

"No wonder you came in person." Modo stood up. "So, you're planning to act ahead of schedule?"

Karl nodded: "If it's sent back to the Skywing Clan, it'll be almost impossible to snatch it back."

“Okay, I’ll play along.” Modo grinned. “Let’s do a surprise attack.”

Karl looked at the Heaven's Cup in Iris's palm and narrowed his eyes: "How did this Heaven's Cup happen to appear in the church?"

As a universally acknowledged divine artifact, the Heaven's Cup appears once every ten years, with a cycle of about five years after its appearance. Its appearance is independent of anyone's will, so every appearance of the Heaven's Cup is accompanied by a bloody storm that repeats every ten years.

This year marks the tenth decade. Before this, although the Heaven's Cup had appeared before, only the Skywing Clan had collected all of them once. Thus, even though the Skywing Clan suffered heavy losses, they still maintained their dominant position.

That's a magical artifact that can truly grant any wish!

"Is destiny still with him?"

Karl twitched his lips, recalling the humiliation of his lineage being forced into depravity.

"This time, I will not let you have your way!"

······

Chapter 45 I dare to eat shit, do you?

In the land of revelation, all beings rejoice.

As citizens of the Holy Light Church, they never expected that the Archangel Elise would descend upon this Holy Revelation Festival, nor did they expect that the Church had already obtained a Heavenly Cup called 'Yin'!

A century has passed, and the Heaven's Cup remains a supreme artifact symbolizing destiny for any power.

Even if you don't collect them all, you can still make great progress by understanding just one or two of them.

Although the appearance time and place of Heaven's Feel are not fixed, to this day, the place where Heaven's Feel appears most often is Apocalypse Island.

So, the fact that the Heaven's Cup happened to appear in the church and was obtained by His Holiness the Pope means that destiny is now in the hands of the gods.

And isn't the deity themselves embodied in them, as the deity's subjects?

Therefore, this year's Feast of Revelation is much more lively than in the past.

As the Pope of the Holy Light Church, Hill III not only had to appear at the Feast of Revelation, but also preside over the related audience ceremonies.

However, because Elise was under her control, she was directly in charge of some rituals.

Hill III no longer believed in the gods who resided in the heavens.

What she cares about most right now is the Heaven's Cup. This is something that Li Xingzhou, this little man, has reserved, and it absolutely cannot be taken away by the demon race!

It's not because it's a promise I made, but because it concerns my life and future!

No matter what, she and he were only having a one-night stand. Even if she still had value, he might not care about her afterward.

Without him as a backer, he couldn't control Elise with peace of mind, and if Elise betrayed him, he would only have one way out: death!

She was very clear-headed.

Her feelings for Li Xingzhou were complicated and could not be summarized by the terms "patron" and "one-night stand." If she wanted to deepen their relationship, it would be most appropriate to use common interests as a bond.

Just like a married couple, they might stay together for a lifetime based solely on feelings, but if there are shared interests, their relationship becomes extremely strong.

We're all adults; neither of us would pin our future on a simple romantic relationship.

So after reaching an agreement with Olivia, Hill III immediately informed Li Xingzhou of the news.

By now, Li Xingzhou should have already made a move against Motoro, right?

King Hill III pondered, and as the ceremony concluded, all the cardinals were barred from entering the angelic gates that were gradually closing in the church's main hall.
