Chapter 504: Adam's Manipulation

The Evernight Church won the Holy War and gradually took over everything from the God of War Church.

However, the world did not become peaceful because of this; instead, the war intensified for this very reason.

Many Angels or True Gods who possessed sufficient knowledge only needed to let a thought cross their minds to realize what exactly the Mother Goddess of Earth and the Evernight Goddess had gained during the Holy War.

These two Goddesses were the only two among all the True Gods who had been the first to gather all adjacent Pathways!

They only needed to wait for the appearance of the "Mysteries" and for the seal of the Grey Fog to weaken before they could attempt to find and control the Source Quality!

The Doomsday was approaching. At the very moment the War God Divine Kingdom collapsed, all the True Gods faced the power of the Outer Gods head-on, knowing its greatness and irresistibility, and naturally, they became even more eager to advance further.

The True Gods were naturally restless, and this was directly reflected in the war, which saw an even higher intensity.

"If the war continues at this intensity, our final decisive battle will arrive very soon." George III coordinated all the supplies and troops within the Loen Kingdom and made an accurate judgment of the current situation.

"There is no need to wait any longer; I will make a trip to Feynapot." Adam suddenly stepped out from the air, and even George III, who was an Angel, did not notice it in the slightest.

"I will return with the final 'Hand of Order', and you can begin preparing for the final ritual." Adam's gaze remained as clear as a child's; even if one held great wariness toward Him, it would silently disintegrate.

"You only need to remember your promise."

Adam looked toward the darkness in the deepest part of the palace, where a figure that had almost become the embodiment of rules sat.

He seemed to have lost his physical body and had become the incarnation of rules; this was something William Augustus had been preparing for over a thousand years in the Loen Kingdom.

—He had become synonymous with concepts like law and rules, becoming the embodiment of rules in the hearts of the Loen people.

"Very well," the incarnation of rules that William Augustus had become nodded silently.

It was likely after the collapse of the Trensost Empire at the end of the Fourth Epoch that William Augustus took the initiative to approach Adam.

At that time, William Augustus had obtained a "Hand of Order" and had split off at least one-third of the Trensost Empire's territory to establish Loen; he was at his most high-spirited.

Therefore, he emulated Solomon, who had once visited the Fantasy to obtain the opportunity to become a god, and went to find Adam.

As for why he did not go directly to the Fantasy, it was naturally because the "Black Emperor" and "Judge" Pathways were adjacent, and he was a full epoch behind Solomon.

After a hidden but notarized contract, William Augustus gained Adam's full support and was now ready to prepare for the final ritual to become a god.

Adam nodded gently toward this collaborator, and His figure vanished directly from the palace.

"Delinke." Inside the body of William Augustus's rule-incarnation, a pair of golden eyes filled with intense majesty seemed to open, carrying a cruel sense of order.

"Yes!" Delink Augustus was very respectful toward this ancestor.

"You will personally go to the Storm Church to find Gade II. I hope the Storm Church will fully commit to this war to fill the vacancy left by the Evernight Church." William Augustus acted according to the plan that had been set long ago.

"Very well," Delinke nodded with a solemn expression, then remained silent for two seconds before asking, "What if Gade II refuses our request?"

"He will not," William Augustus said calmly, "The Popes of the Storm Church all have personalities completely opposite to the Lord of Storms, and Gade II is even more so."

For some unknown reason, the primary criterion for the Lord of Storms when choosing a Pope was not piety or majesty, but wisdom...

"Gade II only has the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church in his eyes. He would likely be very happy to watch us and the Castiya Family suffer mutual destruction, weakening the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church as much as possible."

William Augustus had chosen the Storm Church as his target, so he naturally had sufficient understanding of it. "Very well, I will make a trip to Pasu Island." Delinke nodded.

"I will go prepare for the final ritual." George III also left quickly.

William Augustus closed his eyes. Behind him, the Order Scepter and the Brass Book were both emitting a golden fluorescence, resonating with the rules and order on his body.

Adam left the Loen Royal Palace, but his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked to the side.

Chumen was waiting leisurely, holding a glass of sweet wine with bubbles in his hand.

"Are you going to follow me?" Adam thought for a moment and understood Chumen's intentions.

"Since you've invited me, I won't be polite!" Chumen raised an eyebrow, finished the soda in his cup, and walked to Adam's side.

Adam had never thought that his arrangements could be hidden from Chumen, so he was exceptionally calm. He traveled with Chumen to a battlefield between Feynapot and Loen.

"How did you know the Castiya were here?" Chumen looked in one direction and suddenly laughed.

"Oh, is that Medici? He is actually cooperating with you? That's hellish." Chumen looked astonished.

"What is wrong with cooperating with me? Without using 'Imagination', you are not as good as me either." Adam's clear, childlike eyes stared at this battlefield, which was like a meat grinder, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

This was the true "Spectator".

"..." Chumen's mouth twitched. What he excelled at was actually crushing opponents by occupying the general trend, and it had been like this since the Second Epoch.

Later, after obtaining the Authority of "Fantasy Creation", he became even lazier. Often, with just a single thought, the world would tilt toward the future he envisioned.

Adam, on the other hand, was better at grasping the mind and inciting conflicts, starting from individuals to direct the tides of history.

"That is a bit worth watching." Chumen turned his attention to this battlefield.

The intensity of the fighting here was far less than the Holy War that had occurred in Winter County previously.

After all, it was not a life-or-death battle for a Church; the God of Knowledge and Wisdom Church, the Storm Church, the True Creator Church, and other True God-level forces had not yet truly committed all their foundations to the battlefield.

But under Adam's manipulation, the undercurrents surging beneath this battlefield were even more turbulent.

"Medici seems to be close to success." Chumen looked to one side of the battlefield, where the army of the True Creator Church—which was actually the Medici Legion—was stationed.

His ritual was now at a critical moment; as long as he won this war, his ritual would be considered complete.

Of course, this step was actually very difficult; enemies and friends were unclear, and enemies and friends could even transform to a certain extent.

From this point of view, this battlefield was much more complex than the previous Holy War.
