Chapter 583: I love you

“Sigh… It’s not just one, definitely more than one Destruction Element is about to resurrect…” the Glacier King muttered to himself.

——

On the Ouden Continent, deep within an ancient and solemn Salvation Church, there lies a dimly lit underground prison surrounded by ancient stone walls.

This place is not an ordinary prison, but a special venue set up by the Church to “protect and guide” those souls who have lost their way in the exploration of the Spirit Realm.

Their minds are troubled by an invisible force, metaphorically depicted in their depths as “Andersen.”

The parasitic creature of the Spirit Realm, “Andersen,” is not a real material entity, but a symbolic conceptual force. They act like invisible chains tightly binding the lost souls, plunging them into endless pain and madness.

Each time night falls, a series of eerie screams echoes from the depths of the prison: “Andersen! Andersen!”

“…”

The Cardinal “Weird Light” of the Salvation Church frowned, standing inside the prison listening to the roars about “Andersen,” feeling very confused and incredulous to this day.

Himself, to actually become the new Pope?

“Weird Light” had thought he would not live past the Pope of Redemption.

Would that ancient man who lived for thousands of years truly die?

He possessed so much Divine Power yet would still die to the End… Just thinking about this, Weird Light felt a chill, and he could barely sleep normally.

“The True Gods have forsaken us, that’s the reality, why couldn’t I face this fact before…”

“Weird Light” took a deep breath, listening to the screams from the prison, his gaze growing colder and more ruthless.

“These souls infected by Andersen are beyond saving. It might as well be me who sends you on your way, to let your souls return to the otherworldly god.”

“The so-called True Gods are not worthy of my faith… I need a greater power, the power of the otherworldly god!”

Just then, an Assistant Priest walked in from outside, saying very respectfully, “Cardinal, the Saint of Sun from the South has sent an invitation, hoping that the upper echelons of various churches could gather in the Terrara Church State in the South, put aside prejudices, and join forces again to confront the Fischer family and the Dawn Church.”

Weird Light remained silent for a long time, muttering to himself: “Join forces against Fischer and the Dawn Church… haha.”

“Even if we want to destroy Fischer, as long as they stay in the East and do not come out, we still need to wait thirty years.”

“During these thirty years, I must become even stronger!”

——

Deep within an estate of the Fischer family, decorated with the family crest, Family Head Darren sat alone at a wooden table. Outside, the night was ink-dark, and the bright moonlight filtered through the thin clouds.

The leader, who had guided his family to glory with iron fist and madness, now appeared unusually aged and tired. Darren’s face was gaunt, his eyes revealing an indescribable indifference.

In an elegant crystal wine glass on the table, dark red wine gently swayed.

Several months ago, to rescue him who had burned his own soul to obtain a powerful enough force to withstand the Pope of Redemption momentarily, despite the high cost, Darren had stepped onto this road of no return without hesitation.

The price was heavy; his soul’s fire was greatly weakened, his power level rapidly deteriorated. The once spirited and energetic Darren now looked like an old man in his twilight years.

“Both the power of Bloodline and the strength from the God Pantheon stairway have retreated one level, my Spiritual Power and physical condition have permanently slid down, and although I am still an Exponent of the Seventh Tier, my strength is now no different from that of the 6th Rank… haha.”

At this moment, he held the wine glass gently swaying it, his eyes showing not a hint of regret.

On the contrary, Darren’s lips curved with a faint smile, fully aware that he had made the best choice for the future of his family, even though he was extremely weak now, his conviction was stronger than ever.

“Never thought someone like me could have a moment of ‘self-sacrifice’…”
