west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu was stunned by Rei’s speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as a Level 5 Trickster, he was slower than Level 3 Rei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the Incarnation of White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were not a divine incarnation, nothing else could explain such overwhelming power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking further was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu had heard that Rei’s class advancement had been performed by High Priestess Kumironi of the Temple of Life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were true—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did that mean even the Temple of Life was being manipulated by him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he also had close ties with Izparut and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an enormous chessboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without anyone noticing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already placed countless hidden pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one thought carefully...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he was already controlling Kronoa, perhaps even the entire Kingdom of Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then why had he allowed Iz and the others to kill the former High Priest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the old High Priest had betrayed the church?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old High Priest had been trying to create the Descent of White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this lord had already descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ritual might have exposed his existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he eliminated the High Priest to protect his plan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded absurd—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet considering his indifference toward life...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It somehow seemed plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actions of a god’s incarnation were unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something displeased him, he simply killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even within that whimsy, he still maintained control over the overall situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly... admirable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the previous High Priest had probably been nothing more than a disposable chess piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the perspective of a god, what significance could a mere Level 6 regional bishop possibly have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu descended onto a barren plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei landed as well, scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An underground passage hidden beneath the endless wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The concealment here used Warlock ritual magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warlocks specialized in rituals, curses, pain, disease, and mental attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t particularly strong in direct combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they excelled at secretly planting curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could also craft certain dark artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A profession with strong overall capability in the domain of evil attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most Secret-Scroll Classes were merely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That didn’t necessarily make them stronger than mainstream professions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when stronger, the difference was minor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the extremely difficult Unique Secret-Scroll Classes were universally acknowledged to be on a higher tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei hadn’t expected a base here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging by Mu bringing him here—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was probably a headquarters-level base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly a cunning rabbit with many burrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei casually tossed several monster corpses outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Materials for Death Exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu had already noticed Rei’s cautious habits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They entered the hidden passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking through a deep, dark tunnel—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive underground palace appeared before Rei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"High Lord... to be honest...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of the Holy Church’s bases have already been destroyed. Our largest headquarters was also wiped out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the ones responsible... were Izparut and the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu said this deliberately, hoping to probe Rei’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei replied coldly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, are you trying to guess my intentions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of souls drifted around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu’s body trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would never dare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei walked forward slowly, surrounded by souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His perception had already scanned every corner of the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My actions have their purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You people acted too arrogantly and were already noticed by the Church of Life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You even left behind encoded letters for them to discover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They deciphered your secrets... and now you blame me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your recklessness created this disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you expect me to expose myself just to protect the mess you left behind? That insignificant bishop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei’s voice carried natural authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu began sweating and dropped to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No! I would never mean that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your plans are a hundred times more important than the former High Priest’s life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei withdrew his faint anger and spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good that you understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I’ve taken control of this church, you can relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t mind playing with them for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu finally felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the High Lord did care about the church’s survival after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was getting serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where does the church store its treasures?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m curious to see what you’ve accumulated over the years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu lowered his head and began guiding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"High Lord, please follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the Holy Church, we have labored tirelessly for a thousand years.
