for example, the lower limit rank of a puppet drawn with 100,000 Emotion Points is C-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so on, a million Emotion Points guarantees at least a B-rank, and ten million Emotion Points guarantees an A-rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, 10,000 Emotion Points can also produce miracles; not to mention S-rank, if your luck is truly heaven-defying, you can also draw an SSS-rank puppet with 10,000 Emotion Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to such an unsubstantiated probability, Lin Cheng preferred the guarantee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng didn't let the Sin Archbishop of Sloth linger here for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After letting Kyôka know some intelligence about the Witch Cult, he decisively controlled the Unseen Hands to completely crush Kyôka to death, finally turning her into ashes, and she went back to the headquarters of Tartaros to resurrect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I imagine that after the extinction of the Dragon race four hundred years ago, Tartaros, which hadn't had any sacrifices for hundreds of years, would definitely cause quite a stir after a sacrifice occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, Lin Cheng couldn't care about maintaining any logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After solving it, he didn't even bother with it and let the Sin Archbishop of Sloth go and find trouble with another member of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros, the demon with the explosion curse, Jackal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, from the very beginning, because everything came too suddenly, it was hard to have any rationality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Lin Cheng wouldn't admit it, and no one would think that such a plain-looking person like Lin Cheng would have any connection with a Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, such a troublesome guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sin Archbishop of Sloth’s \"kill on sight\" ability was too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Jackal’s fate was not much different from Kyôka’s; after showing off his presence a bit, Jackal, like Kyôka, went back to the headquarters of Tartaros to resurrect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after this time, some of the characteristics of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth would likely be figured out soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resurrection ability of Tartaros was no different from Natsuki Subaru’s Return by Death; the next time they met, knowing the Sin Archbishop of Sloth’s special ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sin Archbishop of Sloth wouldn't be able to solve two Nine Demon Gates demons so easily like today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Lin Cheng didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the next time they met, Lin Cheng wouldn't only have the Sin Archbishop of Sloth as an A-rank puppet in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headquarters of Tartaros, the mobile fortress in the sky, inside the Underworld King Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man wearing a black windbreaker with long, jet-black hair was holding a book with the letters \"END\" printed on it, walking slowly through the dark corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the black-haired man’s pace was not fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if there were anyone around at this time, they would find that every step the black-haired man took carried unprecedented pressure, stepping on everyone’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making people unable to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the actual ruler of Tartaros.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Created by the ancestor of black magic, Zeref, and called by Zeref the masterpiece closest to END.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thorn Demon, Underworld King, Mard Geer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Mard Geer had already learned the news that Kyôka, the leader of the Nine Demon Gates, and the Nine Demon Gates member Jackal had both been sent home, and was walking toward the place used to resurrect dead demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Kyôka and Jackal in the incubation chamber, waiting for their bodies to be reconstructed, Mard Geer’s face was exceptionally calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers, and a wooden throne quietly appeared. Mard Geer leaned back on the throne, waiting for Kyôka and Jackal’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is an organization called the Witch Cult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A so-called Sin Archbishop of that organization, the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, Petelgeuse Romanee-Conti, has very strange methods; it seems he has countless invisible palms that instantly crushed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyôka’s gaze slid down slightly, not daring to look Mard Geer in the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Jackal, who was usually somewhat jumpy and irritable, he also became quiet, no longer shouting about making that green-haired old schemer look good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this death, Jackal could be said to be exceptionally unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for that strange method, Jackal felt he might not have lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is worth mentioning that Kyôka’s memory was quite good, and she remembered the full name of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth without missing a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Witch Cult, Sin Archbishop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is truly interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mard Geer nodded thoughtfully and said softly, \"Although from what you mean, the opponent’s methods are exceptionally strange, and it was because of an ambush that they solved you quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I imagine that even if you were prepared, you wouldn't have a sure chance of winning, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Underworld King Mard Geer despised humans, he never underestimated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just through a simple contact with Kyôka and Jackal, Mard Geer had already roughly analyzed some things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, whether it was Kyôka or Jackal, even if they were prepared, they didn't have a 100% sure chance of winning when facing the Sin Archbishop of Sloth. ===== CHAPTER 12 =====\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord Underworld King.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have almost no understanding of the opponent’s intelligence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyôka nodded very seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the Underworld King Mard Geer, she didn't need to hide anything; hiding would only make her end up worse, and she couldn't possibly hide anything from Mard Geer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, I have no idea how much of his strength the opponent used to kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I were prepared and focused entirely on dealing with the opponent’s attack,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyôka raised her head and looked at Mard Geer, saying, \"I am not sure if I could win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just based on the tip of the iceberg shown so far, the opponent’s strength has already completely surpassed a conventional S-rank Class Mage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jackal opened his mouth on the side, wanting to say some big words to express his disdain for the green-haired guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after seeing Mard Geer’s pair of jet-black eyes, as deep as a black hole, he swallowed all the trash talk in his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was anyone Jackal would fear in Tartaros, it was undoubtedly the actual ruler of Tartaros, the Underworld King Mard Geer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surpassed a conventional S-rank Class Mage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mard Geer nodded, ignoring Jackal on the side, and began to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at the fact that Mard Geer almost had no emotions, but for Kyôka, Mard Geer undoubtedly had full trust; otherwise, in the original work, Mard Geer wouldn't have placed his final hope on Kyôka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros, how strong Kyôka was had long been fully demonstrated over these four hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, regarding what Kyôka said, Mard Geer didn't have any hesitation and chose to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suddenly appeared, an organization called the Witch Cult, and the so-called Sin Archbishop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Invisible and imperceptible invisible palms that possess powerful strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile appeared on the corner of Mard Geer’s mouth as he stood up and said lightly, \"Interesting, truly, it is simply too interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If everything is true, then such a powerful organization has actually been hiding all along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And we in Tartaros didn't even have the slightest bit of news;
