Chapter 529 - Chapter 529: Chapter 494: Secrets No More (2/2)
He promptly changed his approach.
“However, there are many secret organizations in the world that worship gods not recognized by the Church,” he said. “Each of them theoretically has the potential to destroy the world, right?”
“As far as I know, even so, both great empires and the Church still have had many temporary alliances with some useful secret organizations, even heretical cults, right?”
Indeed.
Theoretically, there were too many organizations with the potential to destroy the world, but in reality, each of them was incapable of truly accomplishing such a feat, so what if the Fischer family was among them.
It was adequate to minimize the losses. Even if the Lorne Empire decided to stop cooperating with the Fischer family, it didn’t matter, as long as they didn’t send a hundred Monarch powerful experts to assassinate Fischer.
Karno was very clear about this in the depths of his heart because as long as he could slightly numb the other party, as long as they could delay until his father ascended to the Eighth Tier… Once his father ascended to the Eighth Tier, he would possess power akin to that of Heavenly Enlightenment!
Moreover, with the augmentation of rune power, it was even foreseeable that most Lower Transcendents of Apocalypse would be no match for his father.
By then, even if the Lorne Empire sent a hundred Monarch powerful experts to assassinate the Fischer family, it would be utterly futile!
Yes, as long as they could hold out until then, the family would be temporarily safe.
“The words from our mouths are but a performance, the true value lies in what we see with our eyes,” said the Child of the Sun God.
“But what you can offer is merely an illusion, isn’t it?”
Karno confronted the Child of the Sun God, who looked at him for a while, shook his head, and said:
“Karno Fischer, I admit I have somewhat underestimated you, and indeed… being lenient with someone like you was a mistake.”
Afterward, the Child of the Sun God raised his hand and looked at Prime Minister William, saying, “Let’s establish The Oath, then you can judge after you truly see everything.”
“In fact, just like you said… I hope to truly convince you, and I am not afraid of others’ words.”
Several minutes later.
The gaze of Prime Minister William was grave, as if he carried the weight of the world, slowly reaching out his hand, his fingertips lightly touching the thick black mist of the illusion, as if making contact with an unknown Abyss.
His expression turned exceptionally serious, his brows furrowed, his mouth a tight line, revealing the unease and resolve in his heart.
The Child of the Sun God and Karno both looked over the vision once again.
No matter how many times Karno watched, he was always struck with Shock, the illusion seeming as real as life!
After watching all the content of the visions, Prime Minister William gently closed his eyes. In a moment of silence, he seemed to be holding a silent dialogue with himself, weighing every possible course of action and the consequences that might follow.
When Prime Minister William eventually opened his eyes again, a new resolve and calmness could be seen, he spoke thoughtfully, “Let’s step outside to discuss this.”
“All right.”
The Child of the Sun God nodded gently, waved his hand, and the few of them returned to the café. Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of danger in the depths of his heart.
Hmm?
And just as they stepped out, the gemstone pinned on a customer’s chest suddenly burst into a dazzling light, like a constellation falling to earth, lighting the whole café as if it were daylight.
The light rapidly spread, forming a rotating circle of light, enveloping everything and everyone within the café.
“What’s happening?”
Karno was astonished, trying to comprehend what was unfolding before him, as the world began to undergo dramatic changes. The scenery in the café gradually became blurred.
After the light dissipated, he found himself in an entirely different world—a world that resembled the surface of the moon, an otherworld.
The sky above was a profound dark color, sparsely dotted with stars. Below his feet lay a crater-pitted surface, covered with a thin layer of silvery-white dust, reflecting a faint light.
What place was this?
Karno could even see in the distance several towering, oddly shaped ring mountains, and a few winding cracks, like scars of the earth.
The air was filled with a strange and slightly cold fragrance, invigorating his spirit.
“This isn’t the Claud World?”
The Child of the Sun God stood calmly, without any sunlight here, his power undoubtedly at its lowest ebb.
His two attendants, the wolf and the cat, were also nowhere to be seen, and all the passersby from the café had disappeared.
Only the three of them were transported here.
All was silent around, and the voice of Prime Minister William soon reached the ears of the Child of the Sun God and Karno.
“I believe in everything you have just shown me, respected Saint of Sun.”
“The Empire will destroy the Fischer family, don’t worry,” he paused, then continued, “But I can’t miss this opportunity to let you continue existing… Because you want to eradicate all six elements of Destruction, but I think some of them can be quite useful.”
“If used properly…”
“The increasingly chaotic Claud World lacks new divine beings, don’t you think?”
