What if you ascend to the wrong world?

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the edge of the square and saw a figure standing under a tree, looking at him calmly.

Lorne felt a chill run down his spine.

However, not long after, an old man appeared behind that person, which startled him even more.

His Holiness the Pope?!

Chapter 39 [The Alchemy Array for the Creation of the Original Sin Angel]

Edge of the square.

“Your Excellency, we meet again,” Elliott said with a smile.

in fact……

He was not very willing to get close to Ye Tu.

After all, he had said some things he shouldn't have said before at the Sacred Mark Plaza.

But there was no way around it; the Lord had mentioned 'variables' twice in the oracle, and he had to obey.

That's right!

Elliott still had the same idea as last time.

He felt that the only person in the entire holy city of Loser who could be called a 'variable' was this mysterious Ye Tu standing before him.

"how?"

Ye Tu turned his gaze away from Lorne, who had walked away, and looked at Elliott.

"Why aren't you bringing a group of Holy Light Warriors to arrest me, this blasphemous sinner?"

Elliott's old face twitched.

indeed.

Based on Ye Tu's previous remarks, calling them 'blasphemous' is not an exaggeration at all.

As the Lord's most devout believer, he should have seized the sinner before him at all costs, bound him to the execution post, and punished him with holy flames.

"Your Excellency...you jest."

“This is no joke,” Ye Tu said calmly.

"You should know very well that trying to 'think' is not a good thing for you right now."

"Moreover, after persisting for so many years, it is really a loss to pursue freedom of thought now."

"..."

Elliott remained silent for a moment, then extended the invitation again without replying.

"Would you be willing to join the Church of Dawn?"

Although I really hate to admit it, it's true, as Ye Tu said.

He did indeed have an uncontrollable urge to 'think' during this period.

Reflecting on the right and wrong of certain things, contemplating the 'divine pronouncements' given by the Lord, and even...

Is God truly omniscient?

As the Pope of the Church of Dawn, he should not have had such thoughts.

but……

Think about it...

Instead of blindly following divine pronouncements as in the past, they will consider right and wrong, and whether it is worthwhile.

This feeling of defying all past convictions and gaining freedom of thought intoxicated him immensely.

“I don’t want to answer questions I’ve already answered.” Ye Tu looked at Elliott.

Every inch of flesh and blood, every inch of soul, was laid bare in his eyes.

Elliott's body was already decaying, and it wouldn't be long before he reached the end of his life.

However, unlike his decaying body, his soul shone brightly, as warm as the first rays of dawn.

Years of refinement by the divine power of dawn have completely altered the nature of his soul.

In a sense, this pope is no longer a person, but a fine material for forging a 'demigod angel'.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad.

To become a 'demigod angel' under the Lord of Dawn is a blessing that countless believers yearn for but cannot obtain.

But the problem is that a faint, almost imperceptible aura, yet one of ridiculously high status, has been hidden deep within Elliott's soul.

That's right.

And yet again, it's the aura of an 'ancient god'.

It was this very aura that amplified the 'greed' hidden in Elliott's heart, making him unable to suppress his desire to think and pursue 'intellectual' freedom.

"You should think about your own problems first."

talking.

Ye Tu turned and left.

First Cyril, then Elliott.

Unlike the gods in the astral plane who avoid the 'Old Gods' like the plague, the Lord of Dawn seems to intentionally allow his followers to come into contact with the essence of the 'Old Gods'.

And those golden-white pillars buried throughout the holy city of Loser.

Although it is not yet complete, one can get a glimpse of the whole picture from just one glimpse.

This is a magic circle with the holy city of Lorther as its altar, Lorne, the true 'variable,' as its sacrifice, and 361 nodes connected by it, driven by the power of dawn and faith.

【Original Sin Angel Transformation Array】

As for this final 'material,' or rather, 'sublimator.'

It could be Elliott, it could be Cyril, or it could be some other believer.

It mainly depends on what the Lord of Dawn wants to get from the 'Ancient God'.

……

……

in the afternoon.

Irene Vitte's mansion.

“Indeed, the ‘cultivation method’ you gave me before is more suitable for me.”

Having just finished her training, Irene Vitte sat behind her desk, holding a jade slip inscribed with the "Basic Magic Refining Method" in her hand.

Although Ye Tu had mentioned it before.

But she had always been searching for greater power, so she decided to test it herself.

He put down the jade slip in his hand.

"You just said that Elliott is setting up the [Original Sin Angel Transmutation Array]?"

Since the pact between her ancestors and the Lord of Dawn was 'overridden' by a new pact, she hasn't paid much attention to outside affairs.

I spend most of my day practicing meditation.

The remaining time was spent either helping Ivia collect data or consulting Ye Tu about problems encountered in cultivation.

"Ah."

"..." Irene Vitte frowned. "Then, once the data collection is complete, shall we leave as soon as possible?"

There was a whole bunch of messy things going on, and just listening to them was a hassle. She was also tired of all this petty scheming.

Half a year...

It's the same if I come back in six months.

"No rush, let's take another look."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Although she felt that leaving the Dawn Empire was the best way to avoid trouble.

But now that she's Ye Tu's subordinate, she naturally does whatever Ye Tu tells her to do.

"Actually, I have a question I want to ask you," Ye Tu suddenly said.

"Ok?"

problem?

How could someone like Ye Tu have questions to ask himself?

"You pursue power, is it for your father?"

Irene Vitte's father, the previous Ice Warrior, died in a demon-slaying expedition.

According to the Church of Dawn, it was a demigod-level demon god from hell who, along with five demon lords, personally attacked the previous Ice Warrior, leading to his demise.

As for whether this is the truth...

That remains to be seen.

“…Hmm.” Irene Vette nodded gently.

Although she is known as the strongest hero of the current generation and possesses combat power surpassing the pinnacle of the Holy Realm, her power is still too insignificant when facing a true demigod.

"What about your mother? Have you thought about her?"

"Mother……"

A gentle and beautiful phantom suddenly appeared in my memory, appearing particularly hazy.

She wasn't even sure if it had really happened.

"I do not know."

Irene Vitte's voice was somewhat soft.

A hint of complexity flashed in his usually calm eyes.

She had never seen her mother since she could remember.

Her father raised her all by himself.

She had asked him about her mother when she was little, but every time her father brought up the topic of her mother, he would appear extremely sad and remorseful.

She didn't want her father to be sad, so until the day her father failed to return and [Frostfeather] appeared inside her body, she still didn't know what kind of person her mother was.

What if I told you that you still have blood relatives in this world?

"..."

Irene Vitte was silent for two seconds.

"If it's there, it's there."

Chapter 40 Refining Artifacts

"Don't you want to meet him?"

"Do not want to."

Over the years, she had long since grown accustomed to being alone, even if there were indeed so-called 'blood relatives' still alive...

There's no point in insisting on meeting them and involving that 'blood relative' in your own affairs.

So, if it exists, it exists.

"I think you two should meet," Ye Tu said with a smile.

"But since you've said that yourself, let's meet again when we have the chance."

"As for now..."
