Chapter 621 advertisemen (2/2)
The Abyss realm, however, since it hosted a population of more than a billion, had much greater land mass, and was once home to the five Abyssal Demon Kings, it was by definition regarded as a true low-level material plane.
Upon hearing the soul inside the Holy Grail suggesting that Profound Continent was a low-level material plane, Han Shuo helplessly replied, “You are indeed correct. Based on the division of material planes known to gods, this plane is barely in the class of low-level material plane.” Han Shuo continued to explain the situation on his plane.
“Oh? You know about the classification of material planes? You aren’t so uninformed after all!” the soul inside the Grail was rather shocked but did not question Han Shuo any further about that. He reasoned, “I know you are worried that Gyál might come to this plane, but you shan’t fret about that. Given his status and identity as a late-stage highgod, there is no way he would turn any attention to such a low-level material plane. Even if he has business here, the most he would do is to send his subordinates over. Gyál knows that I’m on this material plane as he put me here. But he had done so in order to prevent anyone from finding me. Therefore, unless he was met with a major event concerning me, he would never order anyone to come down here to retrieve the Grail. So you can be at ease. Even if somebody does arrive, it will definitely not be Gyál.”
Han Shuo’s heart loosened up after hearing his explanation. He turned to look at that frozen Light Pope with a sneer and inquired the Grail, “Will me killing the master of the Grail cause you any adverse effect?”
“None whatsoever. Be my guest. That fool is simply the most annoying little snitch I have ever come across. All these years he has been trying to obtain the essence of the edict of space from me. Most laughably, he even offered me ‘great rewards’ in exchange. Haha, what ‘great rewards’ could a puny basegod provide?”
Upon hearing those words, Han Shuo extended his hand and pressed it on the Pope’s head. A burst of energy erupted from his palm and the Pope’s brain was well-cooked.
Just like the old shaman, the Light Pope also has a mighty soul that doesn’t dissipate with his physical body’s death. His soul was easily collected away by Han Shuo.
The Holy Grail, the olive branches, the papal tiara, the cross, their clothing, space rings, a necklace made of bones that the old shaman wore, and some other things that Han Shuo thought could be useful, were all plundered away.
Not a single person from the party who carried out an assault on the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force remained. They were all killed by Han Shuo.
Other than that so-called Saintess who couldn’t seem to leave that sacred mountain of the Church of Light, all the true world’s best experts had all been murdered by Han Shuo. It appeared that on the whole of Profound Continent, the Primordius Dragon was the only being that could contend against him.
“Erm, what should I do about you?” after putting away all his spoils of war, Han Shuo held the Holy Grail and transmitted to the person inside it.
The soul inside the Holy Grail kept silent for a long, long while, faintly sighed, and transmitted, “I know what you are worried about. Truth be told, your worries are totally unfounded. In fact, you guarding against me seems absolutely preposterous to me. A mere low-level material plane really isn’t worth anything to me. Besides, we people who cultivate in the edict of space couldn’t care less about the power of faith of such a low-level material plane. Plus, being inside this cup, without anyone operating it through incantation, I couldn’t deploy an edictal force of space if I tried. The divine energy I now possess is too weak to break myself free from the binding of the Grail. Even in the case that I’m free from the Grail, without my divine body, I cannot pose you any threat. You really don’t have to be so wary towards me.”
“I’m really sorry but it’s not safe for me to trust you. I have no clue what you’d do after you’re free. At the present moment, I have no wish of helping to set you free, although I might not possess that capability yet. For the time being, I will have to trouble you to stay inside there. After I fully understand some things, or perhaps when I’ve gained enough strength to the point where you will not be a threat, then, I will return the favor you did me today and free you from this Grail.” Han Shuo was sincere in his words.
“Haha, well I don’t count on you setting me free immediately. It is my firm belief that it takes time for two people to understand and be familiar with each other, and time is the most of what I have. I hope that you will keep the Grail yourself and talk to me when you have the time. I have been lonely for too long and being able to talk to someone from time to time, to me, is something of a luxury. Hmm, I believe that I have far greater knowledge about the affairs between the gods in all the major material planes than you do. If you have any questions, asking me could be the fastest way to get the answer.”
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment and turned delighted. He transmitted, “Then I shall thank you in advance. There are indeed many things that I don’t yet know about high-level material planes. You, as an expert cultivating in the edict of space, could definitely assist me greatly in that aspect. Right, be at ease. As soon as I ensure that you have no bad inclinations, or better still, when I’m confident that there is no possibility that you would cause me a threat, I will spare no effort in getting you out from the Grail. And if I feel that you are friendly enough, I might even find ways to locate your divine body and assist you to truly resurrect so you can get your revenge.”
“Well then, it’s a deal!” The being softly laughed. He seemed to be in a great mood.
“It’s a deal!” Han Shuo too was in a fine mood and gladly promised.
