Chapter 488: Servant of Concealment

The "Angel of Concealment" walked amidst tranquility and darkness, while deep sleep and night vanilla emitted faint blue-purple glows, illuminating the path for Him.

The Phoenix Ornament in His hand radiated a golden luster, and the murky, indistinct river water within seemed as if it were about to seep out.

Plop!

The "Angel of Concealment" suddenly stopped, and He threw the golden Phoenix Ornament in His hand toward a certain direction.

The ornament hit the water and made a sound, while the "Angel of Concealment" stood quietly in place, watching the river before Him with the help of that blue-purple radiance.

It was the familiar deep darkness, the river water without physical substance; the difference was that the river water in the Underworld was extremely violent, with the purpose of drowning everything and plunging the world into dead silence, whereas this one was very peaceful and serene, more fitting for the "Dark Kingdom."

This was almost an entire tributary, and its scale was actually more exaggerated than the one in the Underworld.

It seems the destination of the tributary taken away by the "Supreme Dream" at the end of the Fourth Epoch is now very clear...

Following the entry of the golden Phoenix Ornament, the tributary of the "River of Eternal Darkness" suddenly surged.

Yet it was also at this moment that strands of brilliant Dream runes flickered within the river channel, drawing Dream Phosphor from the Dream Sea to confine the river water within a certain range.

Without anyone noticing, Amanises had already mastered a large amount of the "River of Eternal Darkness" water; this time, letting Klein go to retrieve the river water had one and only one purpose.

Klein followed the connection of Causality to the Ningjing Jiaotang, his main body having already replaced the Historical Projection.

The Ningjing Jiaotang is the cathedral of the Evernight Church, located in the Amanda Mountain Range; it is said to have been built by the first Pope personally, and it is also the place most closely connected to the "Dark Kingdom."

"Your Holiness the Pope..." As soon as Klein's Spirituality stirred, he saw the current Pope of the Evernight Church.

This Pope did not leave behind illustrious deeds and prestige in history like the first Pope, but in the development process of the Evernight Church, he was the founder of the current church diocese order and was deeply respected by believers.

"Your Highness the Miracle Angel." This Pope was also coming into contact with Klein for the first time, and those eyes flickering with starlight looked at Klein gently and with some curiosity.

This was the first time someone had addressed him like this...

Under normal circumstances, Demigods with the status of Angels in major churches are addressed as "Your Highness," while representatives of divine will such as Popes and Pontiffs must be addressed as "Your Holiness."

"You may address me by my name directly." Klein nodded slightly.

"May the Goddess bless you, Mr. Moretti." The Pope followed suit.

"Next, I may have to ask you, Ms. Arianna, and Mr. Samuel to guard the cathedral together."

Klein suddenly looked behind His Holiness the Pope, where two faint shadows seemed to be slowly taking shape.

One of them was Ms. Arianna, the head of the Archbishops, who is the head of the Night Monastery.

She wore a simple Linen Robe with traces of mending, a belt made of twisted tree bark tied around her waist, her long black hair draped loosely, and her feet were bare, covered in dust and scars.

It is worth mentioning that there was a faint mist on Ms. Arianna's face, making it difficult to see her clearly.

The other one was the namesake of the Saint Samuel Cathedral in Backlund; he had once made outstanding contributions to the spread of the belief in the Goddess, entered the God's Kingdom while alive, and became an Angel.

He wore the robes of an ordinary clergyman of the Evernight Church, had thick golden hair, and an ordinary face, but his deep eyes seemed to hide countless stars, which was eye-catching.

"Is this the style of the Evernight Church's Angels..." Klein observed these two Angels he had only heard of in rumors without changing his expression, and nodded silently. Four earthly Angels, plus himself, that makes five... This is also the current visible Angel-level combat power of the Evernight Church.

The remaining Sealed Artifacts or some deeply hidden Angel cannot be calculated.

"Are we already conducting the defense of the cathedral now?" Klein asked.

Concentrating all Angels at the cathedral was already preparing to deal with the enemy's most insane offensive.

"Just a moment ago, the God of War Church issued a full-scale attack order; we need to be on guard against an Angel attack at any time," the Pope said softly.

With three "Servants of Concealment" standing in front of him, even Klein was unconsciously influenced by a sense of peace, no longer worrying about the upcoming God War.

"It is my honor." Klein nodded gently, accepting this arrangement, and the other two Angels also nodded gently.

"Good afternoon, two Angels." Klein took the initiative to greet these two Angels.

Among them, Samuel nodded gently, "I heard last time that the Miracle Angel confronted several Angels in a row, and I had long wanted to meet you; now I have finally fulfilled my wish."

This should be referring to the time Klein finished off Zaratul.

The other one, Ms. Arianna, whose eyes were no different from a normal person's, also nodded gently while looking at Klein.

Taking this opportunity, Klein chatted with these two Angels and quickly became familiar; of course, Ms. Arianna rarely participated in the conversation, and it was mostly Klein and Samuel discussing the matters of this war.

"Yes, I just encountered Lalion and the 'Angel of Life' after coming out of the Underworld, and in the end, I was saved by the lady 'Concealment'."

Klein intentionally or unintentionally steered the topic toward the "Angel of Concealment."

The two Angels had worked with the "Angel of Concealment" for a longer time, so perhaps they knew more information.

Hmm... Klein kept the matter of the "Angel of Concealment" driving away Antigonus firmly in his heart.

Antigonus was half a "Fool"; to drive him away, it would at least require the Goddess to step in personally, right?

Speaking of which, the Goddess was also a subordinate god of the "Destruction Demon Wolf" back then, so she should have known Antigonus.

"'Angel of Concealment', ah," Samuel also used the most superlative praise for this Angel, "She is the servant who followed the Goddess the earliest, the origin of the 'Servant of Concealment', and an Angel from the same era as the Dream Pope."

From the same era as Chumen, able to drive away Antigonus—could she be Antigonus's sister, like the "Mother of Heaven"... Klein made a reasonable guess.

"His Holiness the Pope is the second-generation Pope, and this position was arranged by the 'Angel of Concealment'." Samuel revealed a piece of heavy news.

"Huh?" Klein was shocked; wouldn't that mean the "Angel of Concealment" stripped away Chumen's disguise as the Night Pontiff?

That is truly incredible...

Klein looked at Ms. Arianna on the side, wanting to verify.

"This matter is true." Ms. Arianna had originally just been quietly listening to her two Angel colleagues talk, but now seeing Klein's questioning gaze, she also nodded gently.

"The lady 'Concealment's' contribution to the Church is no less than the Dream Pope's."
