〖 Let’s say she barely passed 〗Negary was sitting on his throne inside his palace as he watched Nala’s first battle and commented on it.
Regardless of what happened, Nala’s prowess and composure in battle had managed to win the hearts of a few people, and with Rhys’ help, this bunch of rag-tag reinforcement soldiers was finally looking a bit like an actual army.
〖 Nala is on her own from now on, I’ve given her enough help 〗Negary squinted his eyes and turned to Granny Seal’e: 〖 Granny Seal’e, have you seen those people? 〗
〖 That bunch who came with malice 〗Negary tested her.
“Lord Negary, I’ve already foreseen those people’s goal” Granny Seal’e chuckled with her strange husky voice and replied: “They are people from an organization called Hales, their name means ‘return’. They’ve been acting in secret while avoiding the Church of Divine Grace’s Heresy Hunters”
“They believe that people should discard their outer layer of ash and return to their original Godhood” Granny Seal’e explained: “At the dawn of time, the White Light cut through a corner of the Black Abyss of the gods. The corner then fell down where the White Light could illuminate the true appearance of gods. What was originally an unfathomable God of was revealed by the light and became fathomable. The flames brought by the light burned the power of God and turned into ash that warped and obscured God’s original appearance, thus God fell to become humans”
“And so, in order to reverse the corruption and undergo apotheosis to return to Godhood, one needs to discard the ash, extinguish the flames and dispel the light, allowing the world to once again return to the Black Abyss. At that time, they would once again become the unseeable, unspeakable, unfathomable, unreasonable, faceless and formless God!”
〖 This doctrine… how interesting 〗Negary smirked.
“It is indeed. They probably came to milord in hope of obtaining Lord Negary’s power” Granny Seal’e continued: “Regardless of whether or not Hales’ doctrine of God is correct or not, some of it can be confirmed to be true”
“The current order of this world is brought by the Light, the light is its skeleton while the flames are its flesh”
“In order for them to return to their ideal form of God, light must be dispelled and flames must be extinguished. Since Evil Spirits are the errors of this world, their very existence are the loopholes within the light and the flames, so the more Evil Spirits there were, the weaker the light and flames that constituted the world’s order would become”
“Because of this, what Hales does most often is choosing a suitable target, then turning them into an Evil Spirit through various rituals” Granny Seal’e explained: “The Mist Demon of 20 years ago that attacked the Interkam capital was actually created by this organization”
“They’ve done thorough research on Evil Spirits, so they believe that they can control Lord Negary, thus they came with malicious intent” Granny Seal’e once again chuckled with her unsettling tone: “But they are mere humans! How could they understand that Lord Negary’s power has already far surpassed that of humans and even that of Evil Spirits! True and pure invincible peerless power”
“However, even though Milord’s power is unrivalled, you should still pay attention to the power of the Black Abyss” Granny Seal’e’s abruptly changed her tone.
〖 The original appearance of the world, the Black Abyss huh? 〗Negary’s gaze seemed to be able to cut through all deception and obscurity, directly applying immeasurable pressure to those around him.
“Indeed, ever since the White Light cut through the Black Abyss and brought fire to this world, four Empires had been born and fell: ‘glory’, ‘life’, ‘protection’, and ‘hope’. But the flames that White Light brought has already dwindled, the power of the Black Abyss has started to move”
“That power can surpass the limit of this world, although not by much, it is still very hard to deal with”
