Chapter 768: Chapter 217: At Wit’s End, Encountering the Supreme (8K Words for Monthly Votes)_3
"Sarquis had found a human traitor within the Heroic Society who was in league with Agares, made contact with the Cao Gang, and successfully located a shard of cosmic light, in one of his believer’s family homes, chose a girl who seemed promiscuous but was actually chaste, and continued to carry out the sacrifice ceremony, starting preparations for the true incarnation of Paimon."
"And Edric went a step further. With a stronger affinity for divinity, he successfully located a shard of cosmic light that had a certain connection with the terrifying existence that led to Agares’s downfall, which was located within the Hunter Association, one of the three leader positions, at the Gu Family Ancestral Land."
"He took over Gu Jingyun, a scattered descendant of the Gu Family, through his parasitic abilities and began to approach the shard of cosmic light step by step."
"While the Paimon Army was making historic breakthroughs, in an unnoticed corner, the special forces of Solomon’s Second Army had not been completely wiped out."
"A Divine Chosen named Magitelle was lucky to escape disaster, and on November 27, successfully descended in the eastern Wasteland of zone D8B3."
"Through Divine Space, Magitelle learned that the mission had failed, but was unwilling to give up and decided to exert himself through his own means to aid in the descent of Jianqi, King Solomon, to reclaim the standing of the Second Army before the grand existence."
"And this was actually Agares’s contingency plan, which was a bribe provided by Aphrodite, the ’Fukon folds,’ meant for alliance building. Silently, this significant task was handed to Magitelle to execute, unbeknownst to anyone, quite secret."
"The target they sought to bribe was the former pale death god, who bore the title ’King of Infinity,’ Althias!"
"Althias possessed a rather special ability, and if he could be enlisted, Agares, though dead, would still be glorious, and might even stand a chance to be reborn from the Abyss Chaos."
"Magitelle, through the Unlimited King Sect passing by, held a sacrifice and successfully contacted the reclusive Death God, Althias, persuading him with the ’Fukon folds’ to collaborate with him."
"So far, everything had progressed smoothly."
"But what Magitelle never expected was that Althias was actually a real scoundrel! He feigned alliance, but in truth did not honor the agreement, immediately reneging on the spot, snatched the ’Fukon folds’ from an unguarded Magitelle, and fled the scene."
"Having not been alive for long and only recovering to Second Rank strength, Magitelle was no match for a prepared Althias, and, in his rage, decided to kill all the humans present to strengthen himself."
"With his power, he could have succeeded, for there was a contingency on ’Fukon folds.’ Althias, who had been severely injured at this point, harbored a Residual Soul from Spirit Mountain that took the opportunity to awaken!"
"In such a bind, Magitelle only needed to recover to Third Rank power to catch up with Althias in time and retrieve the treasure."
"However, fate is unpredictable, and Magitelle’s would-be massacre faced an unexpected setback."
"On this barren, safe zone Wasteland, within a small refuge, it turned out there was an unexpectedly strong human Transcendent holding him back for a full two hours."
"Due to this two-hour delay, a peak Third Realm bishop from the Dawn Church just happened to be passing by, killed Magitelle, and from this, although preliminary, made a sharp and deadly deduction of the Jianqi Sect’s plan, deciding to report to his superiors."
"If the higher-ups of the Astronomy Association were to learn of this, the entire plan would surely fail."
"And so, King Solomon the traitor, a Taboo Level being, did not hesitate to personally take the field against a human of the Third Realm, activating his contingency."
"A traitor of Solomon’s Army, Suji Herrera, the ancestor of Solomon’s 18th Army who had been hiding for hundreds of years, was tracked down."
"By converting to the dark xxx of xxx..., Suji Herrera ultimately succeeded in evading the surveillance of King Solomon, but she had been tainted after all. Unconsciously, by seducing several human Transcendents, she managed to pass the XXX contamination on to Yu Mingluan, a bishop of the Dawn Church within the safety zone."
Under the watchful eyes of four figures, there were multiple lines of text that seemed invisible due to the nature of their target, but this did not affect the overall viewing, as the scroll kept turning pages:
"Surprisingly, Yu Mingluan turned out to be a believer of the Holy Hall and, with the remnants of the Master of the Holy Hall, he for a time resisted the XXX contamination."
"However, under the repeated reminders from Ning Baishou, who was colluding with the Jianqi Sect, the struggling Yu Mingluan ultimately could not overcome his obsessions. He was tainted and began collaborating with Sarquis, initiating a Blood Sacrifice within one of the shards of cosmic light, greatly accelerating the arrival of Paimon."
"Paimon is expected to arrive perfectly on December 8, if all goes as planned!"
"..."
At that moment, large swaths of blood-red blurs appeared on the scroll, obliterating everything.
Countless gazes from the four figures once again fixed fiercely on the head of the bronze long table.
Especially from the one behind the dim doorway, whose eyes were filled with fury:
"None of these matters!"
"What I want to know is, why did it escape in the end!"
Facing the questioning, the mass of dark mist was in no hurry.
