When You're Out in the World, Who Doesn't Have a Divine-Age Background?

Meanwhile, the eerie Three-Eyed Cat Demon was chewing on something, which appeared to be his flesh.

It tastes pretty good.

Fou made its own assessment, while watching Fujimaru Kyoya and blood begin to recover rapidly, its regenerative power reaching the level of an "ancestor".

Relying on her absolute advantage over primates, Fou attacked Fujimaru Kyoya again, this time with an arm.

Fujimaru Kyoya's entire left arm had disappeared, and a large amount of blood gushed out. Fortunately, due to his "Immortality" Royal Authority, his hand began to recover. At the same time, some blood flowed from Fou's head, dyeing her white hair red.

"Fu?"

I can't believe it.

Fou even stopped chewing and placed her paw on her forehead to feel the warmth; it was indeed blood.

Did Fujimaru Kyoya attack it just now?

That speed must have exceeded the limits of human reaction time.

Indeed, this was the case. Fujimaru Kyoya hadn't anticipated either of the previous two attacks, let alone countered them. But when the two Stigmata converged on him, he could hear the voice of the gods much more clearly.

"My flesh is truly edible, and my blood is truly drinkable. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them."

When Fujimaru Kyoya's words came, although they were still words from the Bible, Fou understood their meaning.

The other party treated him like a "Flock" to be herded.

The Lord of Heaven shepherds the "sheep" of mankind. Although shepherding often involves iron-fisted methods, necessary appeasement is also essential for the survival of the "sheep".

[You understand that even with the six Royal Authority, you are still no match, so you use a clever tactic to complete a simplified "Holy Communion."]

Holy Communion, to most people, is simply eating bread and drinking wine during Mass.

Bread and red wine are symbols of God's body and Blood of God, respectively. God shares his own blood and flesh as a gift to believers, which is God's blessing to believers and comfort to the Flock.

Fujimaru Kyoya is certainly not a god, but his blood and flesh are far superior to bread and red wine. This is the blood and flesh of a person blessed by the gods. Although he cannot turn the White Beast into his "Flock," he can steal a portion of the "beast's" power.

These forces, originating from the same source, cancel each other out, making the defenses that were originally impossible for primates to break through no longer perfect.

"Glug~"

Fou swallowed the meat in its mouth without hesitation. It had no reason to give up the delicious food it had just tasted. Even though some of its power had been stolen, it didn't change the fact that it already had the upper hand.

Let's try again.

Fujimaru Kyoya lost another piece of flesh, while Fou gained another bloody gash. It seemed that Fujimaru Kyoya at a disadvantage, but in reality, such a battle could go on for ten thousand years without a clear winner.

Possessing the survival powers of "Immortality" and "Flock," even Primate-Murderer cannot kill him in a short time. As for Fou himself, being a beast, he is unlikely to die unless a specific Grand Servant. Furthermore, the extremely high level of mystery surrounding "beasts" prevents the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception from detecting any "threads" about him.

This battle was destined to be unstoppable from the start.

However, this also meant that Fujimaru Kyoya was completely entangled, which put Da Vinci and Chris in danger.

"It's a bit despicable, but could you please help me persuade Cain? It's very important to me."

Altrouge, escorted by two Knights, arrived before Da Vinci and Chris. The Barrier formed by the four Black Keys was still intact, which, in a sense, meant that the princess did not want to resort to kidnapping hostages to force them to submit.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Fujimaru Kyoya's restraint towards the Dead Apostle has exceeded everyone's expectations; his very existence is tantamount to a "nuclear weapon" against Dead Apostle.

Whether it's Black Ji or White-Winged Duke, whoever masters this "nuclear weapon" will be able to unify all the Dead Apostle and become the true King of Dead Apostles.

If she couldn't get Fujimaru Kyoya destroy him. Now that she couldn't destroy him, she had to get him to join her, otherwise she would be irresponsible to all the Dead Apostle who trusted her.

Whether it's fulfilling her responsibilities as a princess or reclaiming everything that belongs to her, these are efforts that must be made.

"Can't we both compromise and pretend nothing happened?"

Although he didn't have high hopes, Da Vinci still hoped that everyone could act as if nothing had happened, even though that was almost impossible.

"No."

There was no "compensation" at all. How could Altrouge act as if nothing had happened? Even the most fickle mobile game players aren't so easily appeased. At least... three Saint Quartz as compensation.

Altrouge reached out to Chris, but was quickly blocked by the Barrier. However, the Barrier was no match for the Black Ji.

In an instant, all four Black Keys were knocked away, Chris was in danger. However, Fujimaru Kyoya was not worried at all. Instead, he focused his energy on the battle with Fou.

That Old Bastard, who's been hiding his true colors, should show up by now.

"Thump~"

The sound of Evening Bell echoed through the mountains and fields.

Still about some things related to the group.

I've seen quite a few people joining the group these days, so I'll just mention it here.

As readers who have followed this book all along know, there was a huge controversy when it was released. Even now, people are still criticizing me on forums like clockwork. That's why I didn't promote the group much in the early stages. Later, I planned to write a free side story, so I specifically mentioned it. Those who want to read it can join the group.

Currently, I have two groups, one with 2000 people and the other with 1000 people, and they are almost full. I'm afraid that people will infiltrate my groups and cause trouble, so I don't dare to set up administrators arbitrarily. That's why I don't want to create many groups.

I didn't subscribe to the entire group, because you could subscribe before joining, and after joining, would I force you to subscribe completely?

This is obviously unrealistic, so I usually don't do these things. However, some readers have said they subscribed to all of them but didn't get on board, so I'm creating another group of 500 people. But there are some things I need to say in advance.

No lewd images, no political commentary, and no urging for updates (I've been updating very frequently these days). I'll be muted starting at midnight every night (I'm afraid someone will bombard the group while I'm sleeping). Extra chapters are deleted 24 hours after release and are currently unavailable (although some people have shared cloud storage links in the comments, which I can't control).

What is the author's pen name?

If anyone wants to join, they can just search for the group number.

One last thing... the July bounty is, of course, unlimited! While my typing speed isn't among the top tier of Hedgehog Cat, my strength lies in self-discipline. Do I need to elaborate on the prestige of my 24th place ranking on last month's update list?

Who do you think you are? Quickly hand over your monthly pass and the razor blades!

If you don't pay... be careful, I'll kneel on the ground and beg you!

Chapter 216 When you're out in the game, everyone has an Age of Gods background.

"Thump~"

The mysterious sound of Evening Bell echoed, signifying that Fujimaru Kyoya had failed in his mission to escort the Old Man of the Mountain. At the same time, the Old Man, who had been observing from the shadows, appeared behind the Ancestor of Dead Apostles.

"Evening Bell, proclaim your name."

A dark figure descended before Chris the instant the Barrier shattered. Eerie will-o'-the-wisps appeared in his eyes, and he raised a jet-black sword high before bringing it down heavily.

Danger.

Upon seeing the inexplicably appearing skeleton Knight, both the black and white Knight were on high alert, their sense of impending death even stronger than when they faced Fujimaru Kyoya.

They could sense that if the princess were Man-slayer before them, she would have absolutely no chance of survival.

The two Knight immediately raised their swords to defend themselves, but what kind of person was the Old Man of the Mountain? You say you are people left behind by the Age of Gods.

Haha, these days everyone has some kind of Age of Gods background.

Even if it were the Crimson Moon descended upon Mount Zion, let alone Altrouge, there wouldn't be any good fruit juice to be had.

Altrouge was not alarmed by this turn of events. When she saw the two Knight struggling to block the attack, she knew that the person in front of her was not easy to deal with. Her fingernails grew long and sharp, and she stabbed towards the Old Man of the Mountain's neck.

"Clang~"

That was the sound of metal clashing. When Altrouge struck, she left a few sparks and marks on the Old Man of the Mountain's armor, but nothing more.

Azure flames appeared on his greatsword, and at the same time, an even stronger power erupted from the Old Man of the Mountain's body, directly blasting the two Knight away.

With a backhand slash, he aimed upwards, intending to slice Altrouge in two, starting between her legs.

The menacing sword strike was so powerful that Fujimaru Kyoya's eyes lit up. Indeed, experience counts; he never expected this Old Bastard to use such a ruthless and deadly strike against a girl who looked to be only fourteen years old.

One day, Fujimaru Kyoya will definitely learn this sword technique and send that Old Bastard hot dog to meet his God before he does.

Traitor.

Whether it was due to a mutual understanding between master and disciple or some other reason, after several back-and-forth exchanges with Fujimaru Kyoya, the Old Man of the Mountain had a thorough understanding of Fujimaru Kyoya.

It was one thing to beat him up with a stick before, but now he's even eyeing his master's hot dog. He's a complete and utter traitor.

If it weren't for the two Stigmata on the other party's body, the Old Man of the Mountain would have wanted to make this traitor hand over his head the next moment.

However, this momentary distraction slowed his sword for a second, and in that instant, a white figure finally moved.

In a flash of blood, Altrouge's arm was severed, and it was Fou who rescued her.

"Fu~"

Fou stood in front of the Old Man of the Mountain. Even facing a Grand and a Blessed One, it didn't think it would lose. It just knew that if it continued fighting, its human would definitely be doomed.

The two Knights, one black and one white, returned to Altrouge's side immediately. Due to Fou's interference, the Old Man of the Mountain's sword strike was not perfect.

Otherwise, that sword strike containing "Death Force" just now, let alone Altrouge's Immortality, even a madman with 990,000 Horsepower Magnetic Field wouldn't be able to recover through cell recombination.

If Altrouge wants to regain her strength and defeat her sister, she will probably have no choice but to seek out the legendary Himegashira Four to cultivate the Eldest Daughter Path.

"Shall we fight here, White Beast?"

The Old Man of the Mountain looked at Fou. At this moment, this "beast" still abided by the rules, relying on finding a master to become Familiar to walk on the earth.

Even Grand Servant wouldn't be so foolish as to provoke it if they had no intention of destroying the world.

"Fu."

The Cat Demon, originally as tall as a person, shrank back to its original petite form. Although it wouldn't lose to the Altrouge, it was basically doomed.

Finding a new pet owner is such a hassle, and what if I run into a jerk like Merlin again... Fou almost threw up at the thought.

"Then, according to the rules, unless you destroy the world, no Grand will come after you."

The Old Man of the Mountain took Chris away from this dangerous place. Although the girl's Stigmata were gone, her bloodline was still genuine, and he had a duty to protect her.

However, she never expected that the Stigmata that was supposed to be awakened by her would be given to someone else, so the Trinity could not be completed, and who knows when the next one will be.

Do you regret it?

The Old Man of the Mountain asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Let alone two Stigmata, even if Chris could awaken the Six Royal Authorities that belonged only to her, she wouldn't have to continue living the life of being hunted down by the Church.

It might even fulfill Jesus's Last Testament, allowing his family, rather than his Disciples, to establish the Church.

The Church originally belonged to Chris.

"No need, it's good that he's back. Besides, he said he would take care of me."

Chris looked at Fujimaru Kyoya he slowly approached, her eyes shining. Even though the Old Man of the Mountain had taught her many things and explained her background, it was Fujimaru Kyoya who reached out to her in Chris's most desperate moment.

Humans are such creatures; they place great importance on being "first," and then don't think much about what comes after.

"Flagg, are you alright?"

Chris landed on Fujimaru Kyoya's body. Fou had previously bitten off and swallowed most of his flesh, which terrified Chris.

Even with superhuman regenerative abilities, this does not mean that Fujimaru Kyoya has lost the ability to feel pain.

"It's nothing, and thank you."

Fujimaru Kyoya did not underestimate any power he had acquired, and he was well aware of the Stigmata on Chris's hand that represented the six Royal Authority.

He didn't believe Chris was completely unaware of all this, but knowing the immense power of it yet still entrusting it to someone else—was that girl foolish or endearing?

"I'm sorry, my mission failed before I even left Shinra's territory."

Fujimaru Kyoya glanced at the Old Man of the Mountain beside him, offering no explanation. His deal with the old man was to safely deliver Chris to the designated location.

Although in retrospect this was merely a test from the Old Man of the Mountain, failure is failure and there is no need for further explanation, even if it was due to unforeseen circumstances.

"Hmph~ Your ability to cause trouble far exceeds my expectations. It's unavoidable that you've encountered Primate-Murderer. Now, I will lead you on the final leg of your journey."

The Old Man of the Mountain originally intended to give Saint Fujimaru Kyoya a trial, but now such a trial is meaningless.

There are very few trials in this world that can be performed on someone who possesses the "Six Royal Authorities," and... he's only one Stigmata away from being obtained.

Although the Trinity cannot be achieved, the Stigmata are about to be unified.

The power of God will reappear on the earth.
