Chapter 447

……

【Lady Shulen's Conservative Party stood opposed to the New Party; to vent the madness that had accumulated bit by bit after her bodily transformation, she decided to risk eliminating Councilor Maynard.】

【Her reasons were insufficient, her motives not strong enough, yet she acted anyway; everyone has moments of unclear judgment, and she was in such a phase, moreover, she was confident she would not be discovered.】

【Councilor Maynard's wife sought out the Black Thorn Security Company; they did not fail their commission and soon detected Lady Shulen's abnormalities.】

【Deng En, possessing strength approaching Sequence 6, brought along the sealed artifact '3-0271'; together with Klein and Cohenly, he swiftly dealt with Lady Shulen, but alas, Cohenly also perished!】

【Overwhelmed by self-reproach, Deng En consumed the leftover Beyonder characteristic; his digestion process was thereby interrupted and stalled, rendering his mental state quite unstable.】

【Under such circumstances, Leonard and Klein discovered the letter left behind by Lanerus.】

【Megose, summoned by some inexplicable force, entered the Black Thorn Security Company; the infant in her womb was at a critical stage, and she could not restrain her impulse.】

【Deng En made detailed and correct arrangements, yet he committed one error: if he had resolved to eliminate Megose immediately, he should have lured her behind the Chanis Gate to fight, leveraging the advantages of the environment and items; if he intended to wait for reinforcements, he absolutely should not have taken out the ashes of Saint Selena.】

【Regrettably, due to his recent poor condition and absent-mindedness, Deng En, in his urgency, failed to realize a crucial point: the offspring of a deity could sense the threat posed by the remains of a Saint; thus, the latter was provoked and began recklessly drawing power from its mother, attempting to be born prematurely, even though it was not truly mature.】

【Azik was in Backlund; not being a 'Traveling Magician,' it was difficult for him to return within such a short time.】

【Megose transformed into a monster, and the battle commenced; with the aid of the Saint's ashes, the 'Vein Thief,' and a strangely appearing high-level talisman, Megose was slain, the deity's offspring was expelled, Deng En consequently died, and the power of Saint Selena's ashes suffered severe trauma, which perfectly aligned with Zangwell's intentions.】

【Zangwell failed to gain an opportunity to show himself, but this did not hinder him from accomplishing his goal.】

【He killed Klein, the fellow who always caused problems for his plans, and took away the ashes of Saint Selena! How clever!】

Zangwell arranged a ritual using the remaining traits of a Death descendant, consumed the ashes of Saint Selena, and successfully advanced from Sequence 5 "Gatekeeper" of the Death pathway to Sequence 4 "Night Watchman" of the Night pathway, thereby acquiring divinity and becoming a half-god, half-human powerhouse.

【The sun still shone upon the earth; almost everyone in Tingen City remained unaware that they had luckily averted a colossal disaster, a fact that the 'Monster' Ademisohl would find very puzzling.】

As the notebook was turned to its final page, at last, the true appearance of that person was revealed!

It was a middle-aged man with dark golden hair, one blind eye, deep blue pupils, a high-bridged nose, tightly pressed lips, and profound features, without a single wrinkle!

Holding that quill pen, he simply wrote the final sentence in that notebook...

【The story of Tingen City ends here.】
