Chapter 496: Cleansing Chapel (1/2)

”That'll be 17,000 Merit Points in total.” A man informed kindly after calculating the total cost of the items Raven requested.

Raven nodded and placed his badge on the scanner. It lit up for one second before it was returned to him, the items were paid that way and he was free to store them now.

After he retrieved his badge, Raven placed all of the items he bought inside his spatial ring and walked away from the Merit Exchange Market since he had no other business here.

He already brought everything he needed and more, while also making sure to keep some merit points with him in case od emergency. He had 9,620 Merit Points left for himself, this should be enough for emergencies.

The materials he bought just now were the ones he needed to create more avatars. The 4th Stage of Myriad Incarnations Scripture allows him to create 18 more avatars, with the 9 he already has, this will certainly make his life easier. It would be like having 27 minds working together or in units to research and analyze anything he prioritizes. Each of his Avatars is as intelligent as he is, they might not posses the same strength as the original has but considering Raven's true strength, his avatars is as strong as regular cultivators, and that's almost cheating.

On the contrary though, Raven has no plans on returning to the base just yet.

After leaving the Merit Exchange Market, Raven went towards north and ended up in one of the Cleansing Chapels.

This was another matter that piqued Raven's interest since they toured Tartarus. There's just something intriguing about these chapels, which he can't put a finger on. Ever since seeing these buildings, he wondered what's their use and why are they called 'Cleansing Chapels'. And since Raven is here, he might as figure that out now.

The chapel wasn't that large, there's also a few people who're visiting this place just like Raven. It seems to be made out of simple bricks, but Raven could tell that these are no ordinary materials. As he went closer to it, Raven involuntarily activated his ocular technique and started inspecting the place more closely.

What he saw was somewhat surprising. In his vision, the chapel was a stark contrast to the general theme of his surroundings. It was surrounded by white halo of light, which could also be interpreted as a sign of Purity. This was surprising since Tartarus itself is infested by residual devilish will left by the Devil Emperor ages ago. This will is represent a dark and ominous maroon fog ever-present in this place. Therefore, seeing something radiating cleanliness and purity in a place like this really piqued Raven's interest.

He eventually arrived at the gates of the chapel. There he saw several posters hanging, it was recruitment notices, saying that the Cleansing Chapel is recruiting potential 'Cleansers', as for what Cleansers do, Raven has no idea...yet.

With his curiosity piqued, Raven tore off one of the posters and took it with him. He then pushed the gates open and stepped inside the perimeter of the chapel.

Raven felt some senses sweeping towards his direction. They didn't come with ill intentions so he let them pass his body. Looking down at the poster, he followed the directions drawn on to it leading towards the back entrance of the chapel.

He eventually arrived then and saw a closed door. He knocked a few times and waited for someone to open it. After a few seconds someone opened the door and received him.

”Hello there Freshie, since you're holding a poster and went specifically at this place, I am safe to assume that you wanted to know more about this job and possibly join us right?”

”Correct.” Raven answered, he gave out a salute and introduced himself: ”My name is Vendrick Valorheart, you can simply call me Raven. Senior Sister is?”

”Monica…” The woman smiled and returned the gesture. ”Monica Sylvester, a Cleanser and Senior Outer Disciples. Nice to meet you Raven.”

”Nice to meet you too.”

”Come, let's go inside. I'll tell you more about us Cleansers and give you a tour of the Chapel.” Monica smiled and gestured Raven to come inside.

Raven simply nodded and followed her.
