Chapter 299

Amabena's figure emerged from the light. She stood in the gray mist, looking somewhat dazed, glancing around cautiously.

"Father... Prime Minister, are you there?" Amabena asked hesitantly.

"I am here."

Ryan waved his hand, clearing away the fog before his eyes.

"Prime Minister, it really is you!"

Amabena's expression brightened, and she charged forward with the ball.

"Prime Minister!"

Run.

Pounce!

Although it was in a spiritual state, the impact was real; Ryan even felt it was no different from reality.

In a flash of inspiration, the two of them vanished from their spot and reappeared in the palace a second later.

"Prime Minister, where is this? And how did we end up here all of a sudden? Prime Minister, are you really a god?"

Amabena exclaimed in amazement.

She was lying in her room not long ago.

Then she felt her spirit being drawn in. If Ryan hadn't warned her beforehand, she would have thought she was being targeted by some powerful Supernatural Being.

"Don't rush, let's do a few experiments."

Ryan chuckled.

"Experiment?"

Don't know.

But.

Amabena felt that Ryan's smile was familiar, and then she immediately understood.

The two returned to the palace and entered a room on the upper floor. Anything that Ryan could conjure up with a single thought would appear: a bed, a sofa, a large bathtub. Amabena was astonished by this magical scene before her.

She made Ryan lie down on the bed, while the scholar joined forces in a verbal battle.

Ryan was able to experience the unique skill that belonged to the idiot Queen for the first time in a long time.

"I didn't expect it to actually work. Now we can just bring in anyone we want, right? The Alts are definitely fine. Caslathdi might be a bit troublesome, but Haino should be able to, since her faith isn't exactly pure."

"Others can try slowly too. Oh right, the Grand Duke is the chosen one of death, so it'll probably be a bit difficult for her. With her temperament, she wouldn't even believe in Balshatt if she believed in herself."

Afterwards.

Ryan lay on the large bed, deep in thought.

Amabena leaned against him, presumably due to their spiritual connection; although they had both reached the peak of pleasure, they were unable to emit any energy.

However, in terms of pleasure alone, it was even more intense than physical intimacy, and Ryan. He just wondered how his body felt in reality; he hoped he wouldn't ejaculate there.

"Ryan, where exactly is this? Can I stay here forever?" Amabena was already quite content and didn't want to leave.

"It's definitely impossible for it to continue indefinitely. We're only here in a mental state. If you ever want to see me again, I can bring you here."

Actually, it's too easy to see each other; we can just contact each other through the relics. The main thing is that this method is much more convenient for the day of reunion. Otherwise, Ryan would really be out of reach.

After spending some time with Amabena, Ryan saw her out and returned to reality.

Great, no further launches.

There was no danger nearby.

He set up a barrier that would be impossible to break through unless Supernatural Being of the Sixth Tier or higher came.

After confirming that everything was in order, Ryan opened the game and issued the order to all his Alts to convert to the faith of Balshatt.

He then re-entered the mysterious space and, following the same method, pulled Lin Qi, Ina, and Motis in one by one.

'Vainay' was discussing peace talks with her ministers, 'Shally' was still fighting outside the city, and 'Avril' was being pulled aside by Elvian to study rifles. The latter seemed to be planning to study the rifle data as soon as possible. The Queen was still looking for a way to break free from Ryan's control, but unfortunately, Ryan didn't care for rifles at all.

Having experienced how the power of the Blood God turned bullets into poop, Ryan now only wants to cultivate faith, not just his own, but also that Holy Blood Angel 'Shally'. If he could freely control the Chaos Space's Power, maybe 'Shally' could also turn bullets into poop.

"Lin Qi, is there any movement from the Gate of Janus?"

Inside the palace.

Ryan leaned back on the golden throne and asked with a smile.

Lin Qi and the other two sat at the long table below, where they were having a unique gathering in the form of a meeting.

"The Cardinal Bishop inquired about you; he wants to win me over to support him. The Pope seems to be away from the Church recently, and there hasn't been any news about him for some time." Lin Qi briefly explained the situation at the Gate of Janus.

"Everything is normal on the Empire side. News has come from the Western Territory that the Western Barbarians are considering cooperating with us. I've discussed this with Vainay. We'll make full use of the Iron Blood Army's threat to suppress them, and then use protection and trade as conditions to gain their submission. Once the Western Barbarians have a stable source of supplies, their invasions and plundering will stop, and subjugating them will only be a matter of time," Ina said.

"Nothing's wrong on my end, except the Arcadia twins contacted me, wanting to secretly ally with me against Augustus," Motis said calmly. "I agreed."

Ryan smirked. "Very good, everyone did a great job. This is our first gathering. I will hold regular meetings in the future to bring others in. Now, I'll assign you tasks. The development of the Primal Society will proceed covertly for now. Keep a low profile. Before our influence in the Southern Continent expands significantly, everyone should outwardly profess faith in the gods of their own empires. Understand?"

"Then, shouldn't we give this meeting a name?" Ina suggested.

"Hmm... Originally, it was the witch's name, and also the name of the beginning of creation. From now on, let's call it the Babel Tower Conference."

Chapter 184 Ryan: Shally, get down here right now!

The first simple gathering ended smoothly. After the Alts left one by one, Ryan stood alone above the mist, gazing at the starry sky.

Only a few stars twinkled in the dark sky; those that lit up were people he knew.

"I wonder if all of these stars will be lit up once faith is fully activated."

"Logically, there should be conditions for entering this place, such as the degree of devotion of one's faith. So, can I use this standard to judge who truly believes in me or who is just paying lip service?"

I feel there are still many useful functions to be explored in the Misty Space. Sexual innuendo is ultimately a minor matter. Ryan is a man with great ambitions; his previous interactions with Amabena were merely experiments.

Who is he? The Pure White Dragon.

He's not like Jonathan at all.

Once they exited the Misty Space, Ryan put away the barrier.

After glancing at 'Shally's' condition, the Holy Blood Army had just dealt with the city guards of Port of Misi, and the Holy Blood Angel was leading his subordinates to rest temporarily.

Since activating her faith, Ryan discovered that when 'Shally' led the Holy Blood Army into battle, she received a buff that the army would provide in return.

The effect is based on a combination of factors such as the number of the Holy Blood Army, their fighting spirit, and their strength, which gives 'Shally' a percentage boost to all attributes.

That's right, it's all attributes again!

The base attribute bonus is 10% to all attributes, and there are additional bonuses based on the strength of the Holy Blood Army. For example, now that 'Shally' is leading 800 Holy Blood Army, there is an additional 3% bonus. Ryan doesn't know the upper limit yet; it can only be determined when the number of the Holy Blood Army increases.

It has to be said that the Blood Knight 'Shally' is truly amazing. She has completely transcended the limitations of the original hidden class. Most of her buffs are directly stacked, unlike other classes which often have some 'flashy but impractical' skills mixed in.

As for 'Shally', her skills either increase damage or attributes; in short, she's all about going all out!

Relying solely on the Blood Knight class is definitely not enough; it must be said that the Blood God is truly generous.

After a while, Sesia sent a magical message, informing him of the Holy Blood Army's movements.

Ryan wasn't in a hurry and continued to wait. From noon until evening, the chaos in the city eased considerably. Most of those who could run had already done so, while those who couldn't could only observe for the time being.

Because the Holy Blood Army hadn't attacked the city, everyone still held a glimmer of hope. Then, news came that the Church forces from the Ring of Abundance had sent reinforcements.

In the Southern Continent, never judge a book by its cover. Some countries may appear to have little military power, but as long as they have the support of the church, no one dares to provoke them.

Power is mainly concentrated in the hands of the church; this is the fundamental difference between the Southern Continent and northeastern continental plates.

This wave of reinforcements from the Ring of Abundance numbered only two thousand, but it included many Supernatural Being, making it far stronger than the city guards of Port of Misi before.

However, the Holy Blood Army has eight hundred men, giving them a huge advantage over two thousand.

The battle began quickly.

'Shally' held Blood-colored Greatsword, and blood formed a surging wave at her feet, carrying her low into the air. She did not rush to charge forward herself, but instead raised the greatsword high, letting the blood-red light bloom.

Those shrouded in Bloodlight became even more valiant among the Holy Blood Army soldiers, while the soldiers of the Ring of Abundance trembled with fear, feeling as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood surrounded them, with countless dead bodies being skinned and turned into blood-soaked figures rushing towards them.

This is of course just an illusion, but for ordinary people, even an illusion has no way to get rid of it.

Although the Supernatural Being of the Ring of Abundance also attempted to fight against 'Shally' using their extraordinary powers, the latter's power was influenced by Chaos Space, and her strength easily rivaled that of a seventh-tier being. How could an ordinary Supernatural Being possibly be a match for her?

The moment the two forces clashed, the sea of blood crushed everything in its path with overwhelming force, leaving Sesia, who was watching from afar, utterly shocked.

"Is this the Holy Blood Army?"

She had never fought the Holy Blood Army head-on before, but based on her analysis of the Empire's internal military intelligence, she could tell that this was a terrifying legion that was no less powerful than the Watchers —that was her previous assessment. But now it seemed that the Holy Blood Army was even stronger than the Watchers.

The main difference is the area buff that covers the entire army. Unlike the Watcher Legion, which requires Supernatural Being to cast and has a limited range, the buff is far less powerful.

Sesia could naturally see that the core of the Holy Blood Army originated from 'Shally'. As for the officers who wielded Holy Blood Power, although they were also very strong, their combat strength would be greatly reduced without 'Shally' leading them.

To Sesia's surprise, she discovered what seemed to be an internally cyclical belief system within the Holy Blood Army. The soldiers' faith was not centered on the Blood God but on 'Shally,' because the soldiers' faith made 'Shally' even stronger, and because of the latter's existence, the entire army's combat power was greatly enhanced.

That's terrifying!

"If the Holy Blood Army could reach 20,000 or even 30,000 in number, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Sesia's eyes flickered. She knew that the Twins were currently adopting a policy of recuperation and development, but if the Holy Blood Army was allowed to continue developing, it was uncertain who would fight whom in a few years.

"Wow, these people from the Ring of Abundance are pretty strong."

Here, Ryan stared at the game interface, watching the battle unfold.

Based on the performance of the Ring of Abundance, he could roughly deduce the overall situation of the major churches in the Southern Continent.

Overall, they are much stronger than ordinary kingdom armies, mainly in terms of the number of Supernatural Being. In the Northern Continent, it is impossible for most countries to infiltrate too many Supernatural Being into their armies. Even after the superhumans became known to the world due to the influence of the Chaos Space, countries only began to explore ways to combine superhuman power with their armies, and did not actually use it much.

Unlike the Southern Continent, if other forces were to follow the path of combining military power with Ring of Abundance abilities, the Southern Continent would be far ahead of other regions.

In the end, the Holy Blood Army annihilated this army of the Ring of Abundance at the cost of forty-two deaths.

Although this was already a glorious victory, Ryan still felt a pang of heartache, after all, the Holy Blood Army only had eight hundred men at the moment.

Fortunately, all members of the Holy Blood Army can share 'Shally's' life-stealing ability and recover from injuries through combat; otherwise, the casualties would be much greater than they are now.

No wonder a lot of ants can kill an elephant. In terms of military strength, the Holy Blood Army is definitely top-tier on the continent. Unfortunately, the limits of mortals are limited, and the combat power of soldiers can never compare to that of true Supernatural Being.

"Um?"

The battle had just ended, and with the collapse of the Ring of Abundance, a portion of the Holy Blood Army launched a pursuit, while the rest cleaned up the battlefield. Just then, through 'Shally's' perspective, Ryan keenly sensed a fluctuation of Magic Power.

'Someone'.

'Shally' withdrew her gaze from the pursuing soldiers in the distance, narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly slashed the Ares Greatsword in her hand in one direction.

Boom!!

With a loud bang, a figure burst out from beneath the dust.

Upon seeing the person, Ryan was immediately stunned.

Isn't that Sesia?

"Wait, what does this woman want to do?"

Ryan's expression was strange; he quickly realized Sesia's intentions.

Sure enough, that guy was after 'Shally'.

It's likely that they saw the Holy Blood Army's performance and wanted to eliminate any future threats to the empire. 'Shally's' performance in the battle just now showed her strength to be only at the Sixth Tier, and just a normal Sixth Tier.

After all, none of the members of this group of Ring of Abundance could make her unleash her true abilities.

As a result, Sesia felt confident in her abilities and went for it.

But the result was that when 'Shally' sensed the approaching danger, she instantly unleashed power far exceeding that of Sixth Tier Supernatural Being, leaving Sesia, a peak Sixth Tier cultivator, with absolutely no chance to resist!

Sesia's class is the Watchers's hidden advanced form, 'Earth Knight'. In the game, Earth Knight and Blood Knight are indeed evenly matched, and given Sesia's higher Magic Power, theoretically she could defeat them, but...

'Shally' is still the chosen one for eternity!

The sheer number of stat boosts she possesses makes her raw strength comparable to Seventh Tier Transcendent.

Ryan quickly called out to 'Shally,' lest she kill Sesia. After all, the Arcadia Empire was his, so Sesia was naturally his too.

Ryan wasn't after her body; his main concern was that Sesia had a chance to advance to the seventh rank, and a Seventh Tier Transcendent was of extraordinary significance to the empire.

Fortunately, Sesia realized something was wrong and immediately abandoned her plan to fight to the death, choosing instead to flee for her life. Ryan pondered for a moment and then hurried out of the city.
