Outer Monk

The metallic nerves on the Pope's neck no longer floated, but instead interwoven and constructed themselves, eventually forming a real head.

Bald, humanoid.

The only noticeable feature is the metallic nerve structure visible on the skin surface.

The Pope showed no panic; he simply raised his hand high to indicate that the crisis was over and that the monks inside the cathedral did not need to be on guard.

His eyes, thick with nerves, fixed on Luo Di, and he spoke for the first time during the baptism:

"This is the first time I've ever seen anything like it. There's no way the world would dare to invade True Hell."

The system of your world is very special, even unique.

No similar existence can be found in the world clusters invaded by the True Hell, so the system should be directly related to the most primal emotion: fear.

It was like a primal beast; I merely connected with it, and it radiated towards me following its scent.

"Pope, I had no idea this would happen."

Cold sweat trickled down Luo Di's temples. He had almost panicked just now, never expecting that the corner would spread here with him.

Moreover, Luo Di could smell the unique scent of the monster, as if if he were even a second slower, a monster would crawl into the cathedral.

That makes sense.

Since Hell can use him as an anchor point to influence the Human World.

Even a corner can be reversed and radiate into hell.

The Pope's words, however, were very calm and contained no hint of blame:

"This has nothing to do with you; it's all because of my curiosity."

Different systems in different worlds inherently exhibit mutual interference.

During my initial examination of your body, I discovered that the various systems within you were highly unified under the integration of this pituitary gland. I wanted to investigate further, but I never expected such a result.

Fortunately, the people of Chaos Nest didn't see this scene. If it had stirred up their desire for war, your world would have been in trouble.

However, your baptism was not approved.

Your pituitary gland harbors unknown risks, and according to the rules of the monastery, you cannot undergo asceticism here.

However, given your special status and the [path] you have chosen, I will grant you the status of an outer monk.

Simply put, you can enjoy some of the privileges of monks, but you are forbidden from entering the Grand Monastery.

You can send your clothes to a tailor for alterations later.

As for yourself, you just need to wait outside the monastery gate.

"Yes."

With a wave of his hand, the Pope unleashed a large amount of metallic nerves, stripped Luo Di of his clothes, and sent them to the tailoring section of the Grand Monastery for special processing.

Following that, the baptism ceremony was the same as before.

He cut open Luo Di's scalp with his fingers and carved a symbol unique to the Order on the surface of his skull, representing his status as a monk.

This is precisely the main reason why Chaos Nest arranged for Luo Di to come to the Order first; the symbol on the surface of the skull would be of great significance to his journey ahead.

Crunch crunch~

Luo Di could clearly hear the carving sound coming from the top of the skull, and he could also roughly understand the specific structure of the symbol.

The symbols are quite complex and have some connection to the Rubik's Cube.

As the engraving of the symbols was completed.

Buzz!

A loud ringing sound rang in his ears, and Luo Di's Torture Chamber Left Arm and his Metal Spine began to resonate. A strange connection linked the metal within his body to the Grand Monastery.

This connection will always exist.

The Grand Monastery will be informed immediately once Luo Di is killed.

The core members of the prologue will travel to their destination to deliver the ultimate humiliation to the sinner who killed the monk.

The ceremony ended.

The Pope's voice was transmitted directly through the resonance of his skull.

"How does my chain taste?"

"Your Holiness, I didn't mean to..."

"Keep it; consider it a personal gift from me. If you can absorb it, it will enhance the mental activity of your spine, and your physical reactions will be faster."

The path the Overlord has shown you has never been trodden by any the Devil; this gift is the Grand Monastery's personal support for you. Hawke's judgment is sound; we look forward to you finding your own unique "door."

"Thank you, Pope."

"Feel the pain, remember the pain, taste the pain."

The Pope waved his hand again, and the nerves on the dome descended once more, enveloping Luo Di's body and blocking his entire view.

By the time these nerves that had been wrapped around his body were removed, he was no longer inside the cathedral, but standing outside the walls of the Grand Monastery.

Inside the cathedral,

The Grand Nun Leader, whom Agatha called her teacher, rose to discuss matters with the Pope:

"Your Holiness, the threat that just emanated from the corner was very strong."

What if the world behind this guy is extremely good at disguise, even better than those villains, and plans to use this little guy to infiltrate our world?

I think it's necessary to take relevant measures, at least to inform the person in charge of the spine about what's happening here, so that if this kid has a problem, it can be dealt with as soon as possible.

The Pope, however, paid no heed, spreading his arms wide and speaking loudly:

"What does it matter? Why can't we, as intruders, experience what it feels like to be invaded?"

The Overlord couldn't possibly have been unaware of the anomalies within the system behind this apostle. Since he was capable of making the decision to guide this person's growth, why should we harbor petty suspicions?

"It's my fault..."

"Of course, a little intervention is acceptable. His journey to find the way will be very interesting. Let a suitable monk go with him; perhaps both can gain something from it."

Outside the Grand Monastery.

Gaa gaa gaa!

Altering clothing takes some time.

While Luo Di was waiting to be rehabilitated, his raven colt was led out by a monk who was in charge of the ranch.

This nun was also female, but she did not have Agatha's strong physique; instead, she resembled a normal human.

Her metallic expression is "chain," so much so that her hair is all in the form of chains, falling over her shoulders, with a chain tail trailing behind her.

An iron chain grew from her palm and was attached to the Jaw Ripper mask on the raven's head.

When the crow saw Luo Di waiting outside the door, it immediately opened its beak in delight.

The crows in the beak were all cawing loudly, extremely excited.

It seems that, based on the past few days' journey and its performance in fighting the evil play, Crow Colt has come to regard Luo Di as its true master.

"Brother Luo Di, this is the first time I've ever seen a mount like yours! I never imagined that a raven-foal living in the Hell's Dark Side could be implanted with a metal structure and be so obedient."

May I ask you for your experience in domestication? It would be very helpful to my work.

"Well, it's not so much about taming, but rather an ability of mine."

"They're all the same, can you tell me about them?"

With nothing else to do, Luo Di chatted with the nun named Leisha and learned a lot about Hell Beast from her.

Although the Hell Monk usually travel on foot, they still need the support of a mount if they need to travel long distances, so pastures are also set up in the Grand Monastery.

Like the spine.

The Hell Beast sent to the Grand Monastery also need to undergo Hell Object transformation. Only a few Hell Beast that can withstand the pain can be used as mounts for monks, and the final transformed appearance is relatively exaggerated.

Just as the two were having a lively conversation.

The sound of iron hooves and heavy breathing came from the outer passageway.

Looking up,

A hellish Black Pig, its entire body skinned and re-armored with thick armor, was breathing hot air from its nostrils as it trudged heavily to the exit of the Grand Monastery.

The Black Pig was carrying a heavy rider on its back.

It was Agatha.

She was holding the completed monk's robes in her hands, her pupils staring questioningly at the two people chatting.
