Chapter 295

Putting aside that so-called Black Tide power, I can't even handle the Four Great Outer Gods. You expect me, a mere Fourth Tier character, to save the world? Seriously?

Even if he sent 'Shally,' the strongest among his Alts, she could only defeat a seventh-tier opponent at most. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to win over the witch K.

"My current strength is insufficient to accomplish these things; there are far more dangerous existences beyond this world."

The ethereal voice echoed in the hall, and Witch K quickly understood that Balshatt must have fallen into slumber due to the exhaustion of his power... The terrifying existence beyond the world, could it be referring to those Black Tides? Yes, in all my years of investigation, the real threat to the Rhea Continent is not those few Outer Gods at all.

If we disregard the God of Death, the Four Great Outer Gods are no match for the true gods, so how could they possibly threaten the continent?

Balshatt must have exhausted his divine power protecting the continent, which is why he had to fall into a deep sleep!

"Revered God, what can I do for you?" the witch K asked, prostrating herself on the ground.

That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear.

Oh no, I'm about to burst out laughing... Ryan quickly suppressed his laughter and said in a deliberately calm and distant voice, "Faith, I need more faith. When my power is restored enough to awaken the gods, the chaos will finally come to an end."

"This is precisely the meaning of our Witch Society's existence," Witch K said firmly. "Rest assured, the Witch Society do everything in its power to make the name of Balshatt shine!"

"I believe you, child... I'm a little tired. Go now, I'll summon you again next time."

Ryan waved his hand gently, and his will descended upon the witch K. She prostrated herself respectfully until the pulling sensation in her soul disappeared. When she came to her senses, she found that the palace was gone, and she returned to her consciousness.

Moreover, the ritual continued, and the transformation of Magic Power within her body continued as well.

"That's incredible!"

His soul was extracted, and his body was out of his control, yet his power did not go out of control. This must be due to Balshatt's protection.

Suppressing her excitement, Witch K focused intently on the transformation ritual.

Another half hour passed, and the ceremony finally came to a slow end.

The process went incredibly smoothly. Feeling the power that had been completely transformed within her body, Witch K could clearly sense that her strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

Although he was still at the Eighth Tier, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, much like the difference between an ordinary Supernatural Being and a chosen one.

Moreover, after the Magic Power is converted, the potential also increases. Witch K is, after all, a powerful figure who has lived for over a thousand years, so she can naturally sense her own situation.

"Maybe I really do have a chance to become a god."

Witch K thought to herself.

Five hundred years ago, the intensity of her Magic Power had almost stopped increasing.

Simply put, it means that one's potential has reached its limit, and there is no way to break through it further.

Otherwise, you'll have to take the wrong path, the unorthodox way, and force a breakthrough; otherwise, you'll remain the same for the rest of your life.

As she pondered, Witch K turned to look at 'Adele,' who had also adjusted to the physical changes following the ritual. Their eyes met, and she asked, "Adele, you succeeded too?"

"Yes, the Magic Power within me has been completely converted."

"Phew~ That's good. But your sudden intrusion into the ceremony really startled me... How did you know you'd be alright?"

Witch K knew, of course, that it was the power of Balshatt that was protecting her, but she needed to ascertain 'Adele's' condition, since Balshatt was currently in a weakened state, and she had to protect the secret.

"I...I don't know either." 'Adele' shook her head. "I just felt like I had to come in, so I came in. K, do you know what happened?"

"That must be divine guidance." Witch K smiled slightly. "It seems you are also one of those chosen by Balshatt, Adele. Can you feel this change? The difference between faiths—that is the power of Balshatt. You are very fortunate to have been chosen by the Lord of the World."

"Really?" Adele, somewhat bewildered. "But didn't you say that Balshatt had disappeared? Did He hear our prayers?"

"I cannot answer that question, but I do know that from this day forward you are officially a member of the Witch Society. In order to welcome the return of the God, we must be prepared at all times."

I'm sorry, Adele, I can't tell you the secret of Balshatt... Witch K plans to use this opportunity to thoroughly instill in 'Adele' the greatness of Balshatt, and then take the opportunity to propose the idea of spreading faith.

Meanwhile, 'Adele' listened attentively to her performance, humming and hawing, immersing the witch K in her speech.

After finishing her explanation, Witch K changed the subject, saying, "I plan to create a subordinate force of the Witch Society, named... 'The Primal Church.' We will gather believers and spread the faith of Balshatt, while the Witch Society serve as the upper management organization of the Primal Church. What do you think?"

Adele, of course, had no objections. Although Ryan had previously considered giving her orders to guide the witch K in creating a new force, he had struggled for a while over the name, such as "Giba Society" or "Catholic Society." However, after this incident, it was better to let the witch K suggest it herself.

"Phew! Finally done! The Primal Church, hmm, not bad name, just a little bit worse than mine, but it'll do."

Ryan watched Adele chat with the witch K, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the two confirmed their plan to leave the Babel Tower.

It seems the first attempt at portraying a deity was quite successful. However, Witch K had no reason to doubt it. The deity was inside the Babel Tower, outside the world, and during a ritual. Who else but Balshatt could so silently pull someone into a mysterious space under such circumstances?

Of course, if Witch K knew that the Lord of Creation she respected was only at the Fourth Tier rank, she would probably really have doubts.

"Huh? Witch K actually lives in the Southern Continent?"

The scene shifts, and Witch K has already brought 'Adele' back to their residence in the courtyard. It is also the first time that she has revealed the location of their residence to 'Adele'. It is located in a certain Inner World space in the Southern Continent.

Therefore, the propaganda of the Primal Church could naturally start from the Southern Continent, which happened to be relatively chaotic with many forces mixed together, which could effectively cover up the early development of the Primordial Church.

Ryan stroked his chin. It just so happens that 'Shally' is going over too, so he can look after 'Adele' later.

The Holy Blood Army certainly cannot switch allegiance. Although the Blood Divine Path is not as strong as the Balshatt Path, the Blood God is incredibly generous, giving away everything he has. What can Ryan give? He can only be a big conman.

However, using the Holy Blood Army to conquer cities and territories is feasible, which would allow the Primal Church to smoothly navigate its early development. As for Witch K's suspicion of 'Shally', it can simply be explained that 'Adele' and 'Shally' are good sisters.

Well, anyway, this doesn't count as lying, does it?

"Next, we just need to wait for the three-nation peace talks to conclude smoothly. After creating a few Alts in Arcadia and slowly infiltrating, we can then develop the Primal Society in the Southern Continent. It's better for me to directly control the Primal Society's higher-ups; there are plenty of alt Alts anyway... Faith, ah, the most important thing right now is faith."

Since he can directly increase his strength with faith, Ryan doesn't plan to slowly absorb Soul Jade anymore. He'll focus on his career, and once he's done, he can retire and live a carefree life with his wives. That's his lifelong plan.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Kachina walked in.

"Rider ~"

Kachina walked in with a beaming smile. "I have good news for you. Empress Motis of the Northern Federation has agreed to cooperate with us. If Augustus dares to push his luck during the peace talks, she will definitely stand up for us."

Ryan thought to himself, "Of course! The concubine rebelling against the main wife, that's fantastic!" He said, "Your Majesty should not be careless. The Northern Federation is trying to buy time to develop. They are right next to us, and they may very well be planning a counterattack."

"Of course I know, but let Kachia worry about these things for now..." Kachina said, walking over and plopping down on Ryan's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, a smirk playing on her lips. "Rider, you and Kachia have been in the temple for days, causing so much trouble, you can't favor one over the other~"

Ryan started sweating profusely. "No, I just came out! I need to rest!"

"Your Majesty, Her Your Majesty Kachia and I were conducting legitimate business at the temple."

"I get it, I get it. It's all about cultivation. Kachia's Magic Power is stronger than mine now. I used to be stronger than her, hmph~ Rider, I'm going to catch up now!"

Ryan said with a pained expression, "But you can't not let me rest, can you?"

"Well..." Kachina was also worried that using it so frequently might wear out Ryan. After all, there was only one Ryan, but she and Kachia were two people, which meant double the pressure.

Then, her eyes darted around, and she said with a clever smile, "Then... why don't you want to try what happens after I fuse with Kachia?"

Ryan's eyes lit up. "Your Majesty, please don't pity me!"

Written request for leave

My recent grueling schedule is really too much for me, so I'll just go to bed early and write again tomorrow. My sleep schedule has been so chaotic these past few days, I'm so sorry.

One hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words, one hundred words

Chapter 181 Sprint, Twin Fusion!

If it came to training with Kachina, Ryan would definitely refuse. A true man should not be misled by wine and women.

However, if it's a fusion of twins, Ryan feels it's worth a try.

There was no other reason than that life is about exploration, and he had a very philosophical question about Gemini that he had always wanted to figure out, so he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity.

However, although Kachina wanted to give it a try, Kachia was still unaware of the situation, so for now it was just wishful thinking on her and Ryan's part.

Fortunately, after the experiences of the past few days and nights, Kachia has become addicted to 'ba'. Now, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, Kachina doesn't believe that the slut Kachia will refuse.

Yes, that's the slut. She kept getting distracted while discussing things with the Empress of the Northern Federation. That would have been impossible before. Everyone in Arcadia knows that Empress Kachia is focused on governing the empire. Otherwise, the empire wouldn't have dominated the Eastern Continent.

To be so distracted by something so important right now— Kachina would never believe she wasn't reminiscing about the warmth under the Golden Tree.

So, there's a chance!

After speaking with Ryan, she immediately returned to the palace. At that time, Kachia had just finished discussing with several ministers of the Empire the matter of reconciliation with the Northern Continent.

"Kachina, why are you back?"

Kachia dismissed the others and asked with some confusion.

Kachina left in a hurry just now, and Kachia figured she must have gone to find Ryan. Given her personality, after not seeing him for several days, wouldn't she have a passionate encounter with Ryan?

So Kachia finished discussing things with the ministers early on and planned to hurry back to her room to avoid accidentally 'leaking urine' like Kachina.

"Sister, I need to talk to you about something." Kachina walked over with a smile.

Kachia uses a tactical lean back.

Elder sister?

This is a title that Kachina wouldn't normally use.

"What's up?"

"You see, you never really wanted Rider to be Prince. I'll just consider what happened at the temple a twist of fate, a joke played by the Earth Goddess," Kachina said seriously. "But from now on, Rider is my Prince, and only I can train with him. How about that?"

"Um?"

Kachia's eyes flickered. Of course, she knew what Kachina meant by cultivation. It was cultivation between two people, which Ryan called 'dual cultivation'.

"No way," Kachia retorted without even thinking.

"Why?" Kachina tilted her head. "Kachia, didn't you used to hate being touched by others? Not even Noel and Sesia. Since this was an accident, just don't do it again."

"It just won't work."

"So why is that?"

"Because...because this has already happened," Kachia tried to argue. "How can something that has already happened be considered an accident? I'm an Empress, after all. Do you think I don't care about my reputation? Besides, everyone knows that the twin Empress of Arcadia are real, but Rider is your Prince, yet it has nothing to do with me. What will the people of the empire think of me?"

Not cultivate with Ryan? What a joke! Cultivate, cultivate hard, she wished she could cultivate every single day.

Even if it's dead, it still needs to be repaired.

How can she break through to the Eighth Tier without cultivation? How can Arcadia turn its fortunes around without breaking through to the Eighth Tier? How can it strengthen its military and enrich its nation?

Therefore, spiritual cultivation is equivalent to strengthening the military and enriching the nation.

She did all of this for the empire.

And Kachina actually told her not to repair it? Isn't that hindering the strengthening of the military and the enrichment of the nation?

"Then, shall we use the title of Prince from now on?" Kachina touched her lips thoughtfully. "That way, no one will say anything, right? Anyway, even if you don't train with Rider, no one will know, right?"

That's what they say...

Kachia felt inexplicably irritable.

What exactly happened to Kachina?

I had even tried to persuade her to come.

Have you changed your mind now?

"However..." Kachia changed the subject, ignoring Kachina's thoughts, "I still need to train with Rider; I want to become stronger."

"That's troublesome," Kachina sighed. "Even though you're my sister, when it comes to Rider's safety, I still have to object."

Kachia was taken aback. "What does this have to do with Rider's life?"

"Of course it's related. Let me put it this way: you want to cultivate, and I want to cultivate too, so how do we divide it?"

"Isn't it simple? If we calculate it according to the week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday are mine, and Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are yours, how about that?"

Kachina: "???"

No, Kachia, do you want to hear if you're even speaking human language?

Although Kachina only intended to set a trap for Kachia, she became genuinely angry upon hearing the latter's honest words.

Why should I? I found Rider to be the Prince, so why do you get one more day a week than me?

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Kachina said, "Kachia, do you want Rider to die?"

"What happened now? How could Rider be dead?"

"By arranging things this way, aren't you just trying to kill him? Do you think men are rifles with unlimited ammo? Look at how many cases from the City of Desire the Gate of Janus deals with every year, how many people are drained dry."

"Hmm..."
