I’m honored”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then respectfully bowed at the Pope’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fei Li landed from the air, standing next to Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Fei Li looked over at Hurt and asked in a low voice: “What now? You want to kill him to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need to, the Holy Church’s matter should be left to the people of the church” Gu Qing Shan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Holy Church’s matter?” Ye Fei Li didn’t quite understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a solemn female voice resounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurt! In the name of the Holy Church of Death, I ask you, are you or are you no longer loyal to your faith?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monarch Varona slowly stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurt lowered his gaze slightly: “You don’t have the right to question me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I do” Varona spoke, “I used to be a Cardinal of the church, as my partner for 5 fives, you should know the degree of my faith”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurt looked up: “I do, but you are now the Monarch of the Fuxi Empire, an outsider to the Holy Church”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona continued: “What I’m saying is, the current Medici clan has a rightful heir, and she should be where your allegiance lies”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurt scoffed: “You speak of Anna? That little girl?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She is not a little girl. She is the most outstanding head of our Medici clan for the last several hundred years, one who has come further than any other clan’s member had”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona’s tone became strict: “Hurt, remember this well, if you are not loyal to the Medici clan, then you are betraying the Holy Church”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should go, either leave the Church, or pledge your allegiance to the Church once more, pass this message to the other Holy Apostles as well”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona continued: “I can guarantee you this. Anna will ensure the glory of our Holy Church, regardless of whether or not the bunch of you are there”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona gestured for the royal guards to make way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurt showed her a final complicated look before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varona then came before Gu Qing Shan and the rest, staring down at Isa’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This usurper of the throne had died by your hands. This was a crucial moment for the Medici clan and a moment of the Holy Church’s rebirth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shed tears, then smiled from the bottom of her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of everyone here, the Monarch loudly declared: “You are benefactors of the Medici clan, benefactors of the Holy Church of Death, I bestow upon you absolute honor in recognition of your heroism”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist and replied: “Thank you, Your Majesty”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faraway, in the Holy Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Holy Sanctuary at the Holy Empire’s Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underground secret bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The card floating above the blood reservoir, [Devil Summoning] suddenly shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It left a few light sprites below thoroughly dispersing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blood reservoir, a voice whispered: “She died… that is very unexpected”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems the death god is angrier than I thought, even my Law card couldn’t save her from death”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood then formed into a hand that climbed out from the reservoir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm, the power collected by the reservoir is enough for me to open the gates through the two worlds and return to the Nine Hells”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This hand of blood clutched at the air, as if wanting to grab something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The rare God’s Chosen soul that came from Fog Isle, I’ve got you”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand clenched tight: “According to our contract, I will take your soul”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice sounded very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banquet hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing Shan’s sword was still stabbed through her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa looked around, then at the blood glow around her body and the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rose up from her own body, staring at her corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah, so this is how you died” a voice came from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa looked up and exclaimed: “Asmodeus!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s me, I’m here to guide you away from this chaotic world”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus showed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he’s also only a soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa looked as Asmodeus and spoke with a grudgeful tone: “Asmodeus, I beg you to avenge me. I am willing to pay any price”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus shook his head: “No, you’re wrong. According to the contract, you belong to me now, including everything you own, there is nothing that you can pay me as a price”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa’s tone became panicked: “Didn’t you want to know what happened to Huang Quan? Help me get revenge and I’ll tell you all the secrets that I know”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus’ voice became monotone: “No, no, no, lies are useless to one such as me, Isa. Furthermore, I have no interest in what goes on in a hell that isn’t mine”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued: “The only thing that interests me, Isa, is your soul and your soul alone”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are a very good card user, I need you to fight for me, to bring me unparalleled benefits”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa begrudgingly screamed: “Then help me! Kill my enemies! I am willing to give up anything at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus asked: “Is that so? Anything at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Asmodeus!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then the Order that you construct with your soul, I want that, Isa”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice became fearful: “How did you know that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus’ voice became triumphant: “As a God’s Chosen that came from Fog Isle, and an existence recognized as a Guru, you can use a God’s Chosen card to construct a fixed Order, isn’t that right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To do that I need to lose myself, give up everything to become an invisible existence to fight against the Apocalypse for eternity. Such an agonizing existence, I won’t do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa hurriedly denied: “I don’t need vengeance anymore, Asmodeus!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus came down from the air, grabbing Isa by her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared furiously: “You fool; you don’t understand ANYTHING about Orders at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me, I will tell you just how crucial the power of an Order is, and how much benefit it will give to both you and me”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone then became soft and slow: “Mortals, living beings, everything. In the face of Order, they are nothing but cattle waiting to be butchered”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let us both drink the blood of worlds and enjoy the wonderful feast of souls”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While talking, he was also thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I kill a few people to ease Isa’s anger a bit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze passed through the scene, then stopped at the two longswords hovering by Gu Qing Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he noticed the Chao Yin Sword, he was a bit surprised; when he saw the Earth Sword, he appeared fearful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the swords, he looked at another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his divine sense, he was able to see an illusion-like figure, scepter in hand, silently standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person had a face of the thin dog as his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus’ pupils dilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Death god is still here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking at?” Isa followed his gaze, but saw nothing there, only empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, nothing at all”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa still couldn’t believe it so she hesitantly asked: “What you said just now, is it true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus regained his composure and spoke: “Of course! Once you know the true secret of Order, you will come crying to me, begging me to help you become a type of Order and never look back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Asmodeus, tell me, what is the true secret of Order!” Isa didn’t relent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An Order doesn’t necessarily need to be used for salvation, it can also be used to enslave mortals as well, do you not understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, Asmodeus’ eyes glowed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isa was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never thought of things that way before, as if a gate had just slammed opened in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And outside that gate was a completely new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asmodeus urged her: “Come, let us leave, we can’t stay here for long!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand and opened a crack in space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two souls went inside and disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>",1634,"2026-06-09T03:05:01.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","8575e8c31682e3a408e762d7e987c8f7ccb658faa8bac997c13a5a9fd03685f2","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-364","worlds-apocalypse-online-chapter-362",1850,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fworlds-apocalypse-online-cover.jpg"]
