Chapter 300: Progress
Chapter 300: Progress
The Galdor Kingdom was engulfed in war, with the frontlines contracting inward towards the capital city. The resistance in the capital was particularly fierce, and for nearly three years, armies from all over had held the city like a nail firmly driven into the ground.
Of course,
Other areas couldn't escape defeat.
Those defending the capital included not only the remaining Galdor Kingdom's forces but also divine deities from the Divine Realm.
Unfortunately,
The Galdor nobility had long since scattered, and other deities in the Divine Realm had their eyes on the Dawn Lord.
The situation didn't improve over time; instead, it grew worse.
As for Karl...
"Finally, I've mastered the Third Circle Sorcery—Annihilation Flame, and it took so long."
He muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the data panel.
Name: Karl
Constitution: 94
Mental Energy: 60
Essence: 0
Cultivation: Third Circle Warlock, Forbidden Knight
Bloodline: Abyssal Squid (100%), Lich (30%), Pale Wing (Remnant)...
After years of arduous cultivation, he had mastered another Third Circle Sorcery, and that was with the consumption of a large amount of essence to enhance his mental energy.
If he had cultivated normally and constructed spell models, mastering a Third Circle Warlock would have taken at least ten years.
At most, it could take several decades!
"Fortunately, there are other gains besides sorcery."
Karl took a deep breath, a smile on his face. He flexed his wrists, and the crisp sound of firecrackers echoed from his joints.
Each crisp sound was like the roar of a giant cannon, and the continuous noise was like an unending wave.
If someone were by his side, and their constitution didn't reach the Great Knight realm, they could be shaken to death just by hearing it.
With a constitution of over ninety points, his Holy Demonic Transformation progressed by leaps and bounds. Even though he had focused on sorcery in recent years, this martial skill had already reached the eighth peak, and he could enter the ninth realm at any time.
Once he advanced to the ninth realm, it would mean that Karl possessed power comparable to a demigod.
The Holy Demonic Transformation had a tenth realm.
But even the creator of this skill hadn't achieved the tenth realm, as it was akin to the power of a divine being.
Aside from the Holy Demonic Transformation, the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm also advanced.
Heart Buddha Palm!
If the Thousand Hands was a fourth-rank martial skill, then the Ten Thousand Hands was fifth-rank, and while the Heart Buddha Palm couldn't be considered sixth-rank, it was close.
"Grasping the Divine Gift is like receiving guidance from fourth, fifth, and even sixth-rank experts. With the blessing of the God of Wisdom, the Ten Thousand Hands advanced, but it's a pity that mastering it will take time."
Karl sighed helplessly.
Time was limited.
Although the Ten Thousand Hands had advanced, his realm remained at the Thousand Hands Realm, and there was no change because of it.
"Enough!"
"The Holy Demonic Transformation has reached the eighth peak, and I've mastered four Third Circle Spells, along with the Pale Wing arm..."
Karl flexed his wrist again.
"It's time to go back and take a look."
In the other world.
As per tradition.
The newly promoted legendary knights would pay their respects to the Divine Messenger, Connie, also known as Karl, at a specific time.
This time was no exception.
Josie and Hum, along with seven other newly promoted legendary knights, entered the grand hall and bowed one by one, following the customs of the Holy Sanctuary.
"You may rise."
Karl's voice was deep, and his expression was solemn.
He now represented not only himself but also the Moon Goddess in the mortal world, requiring a certain level of dignity.
"Josie."
Looking down, Karl's face showed a hint of a smile.
"You've done well. Not only have you cultivated so many loyal knights for the Holy Sanctuary, but your own cultivation has also reached the second rank of the Holy Knight."
"It's all thanks to the guidance of the Divine Messenger. Otherwise, I might have needed more time to advance.
"Josie spoke with reverence:
"As for the new legends..."
"It's their hard work and devotion, and Fran and Nicole have done a good job managing them. It's not directly related to me."
"Hmm." Carl nodded slowly.
"Very well."
Such a calm and collected attitude, coupled with the ability to get things done, would be appreciated by any leader.
"According to the old rules of the Sanctuary, becoming a Second Circle would qualify one for promotion to Elder. But things are different now." Carl explained:
"We haven't fully taken control of the Sanctuary, and this is just one of its bases. Let's discuss the matter of elders later."
"Yes." Josie replied:
"Divine Messenger, the Sixth Elder sent a messenger. She seems to want to ally with us to resist the Sanctuary."
"The Sixth Elder?" Carl stroked his chin:
"I remember she had already pledged allegiance to the Night Goddess."
The Sixth Elder, Doris, once a loyal Holy Knight of the Moon Goddess, had turned to the Night Goddess years ago.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The Night Goddess was likely an evil deity from another realm, but Doris firmly believed she was the reincarnation of the Moon Goddess's soul after her death, as the world fell into eternal darkness without the moon in the sky.
Blessed by the deity, Doris naturally advanced to become a Forbidden Knight, wielding immense power.
"Yes."
Josie confirmed:
"She doesn't think she betrayed the Goddess, and you, Divine Messenger, have also received the Goddess's blessing."
"So she thinks we can join forces."
"Heh..." Carl chuckled lightly:
"Did you tell them that I don't agree with the Sixth Elder's ideals?"
"I did." Josie nodded:
"But the Sixth Elder believes we can gradually make contact. Perhaps after you truly experience the existence of the Night Goddess, you'll approve of her perspective. Moreover, compared to the sinners currently entrenched in the Sanctuary, you are the most suitable ally."
"It seems the Sixth Elder hasn't lost her sanity despite worshipping an evil deity." Carl narrowed his eyes:
"We can ally, but she needs to show sincerity."
"Sincerity?" Josie raised her head, deep in thought:
"The Sixth Elder has the heart of the Pale Wing, and she's on good terms with Duke Olaf."
"Oh!" Carl's eyes flickered at this new information:
"The demigod, Duke Olaf?"
"Yes."
A brief silence filled the room.
"The Divine Realm is collapsing, and the world's rules are loosening. But as long as the barrier remains, no deity can enter this world." Carl spoke softly:
"Demigods are the most powerful beings!"
"Divine Messenger." Josie suddenly spoke up:
"If the barrier doesn't allow other deities to enter, can our world give birth to new deities?"
"This..." Carl frowned, his eyes glinting:
"Perhaps."
He didn't have much confidence in this, but if it were possible, the demigods here would go mad.
No wonder several Dukes had been making frequent moves lately.
"Becoming a deity isn't easy. It requires spreading faith, igniting divine flames, and mastering divinity." Carl whispered:
"Perhaps..."
"They hold the method to ascend to divinity."
What he obtained from Alphur wasn't enough to make the Forbidden Knight a deity; it merely pointed out a path.
The specifics of how to achieve it required further planning.
This world had several Dukes, demigod Dukes, and some were even born to deities.
Understanding the path to divinity seemed plausible.
"Additionally..."
Josie spoke softly:
"The Sanctuary has also sent a messenger."
"Oh?" Carl looked up:
"Let him in."
