Chapter 303

After two days, all nineteen people in the manor were able to provide Ryan with faith power.

However, these forces are very weak.

Ryan discovered that there was a difference between the faith offered by mortals and those of Supernatural Being.

This difference is largely reflected in the understanding of extraordinary power. Mortals have no concept of the extraordinary, yet they can sincerely believe in gods. Ryan found it unbelievable that they could establish faith in unfamiliar gods in just two days. It was truly absurd.

However, upon closer reflection, this is also related to each person's living environment. Ryan was influenced by his past life memories and lived under the red flag, so he originally had no reverence for so-called gods.

But these people are different. Especially in the Southern Continent, where the greatness of the gods is widely proclaimed, these people living at the bottom of society have an innate reverence for the existence of the gods.

Well, since it's free, I might as well believe it a little.

"At this rate, it will only take a month at most for the virus to spread throughout Port of Misi."

Port of Misi is part of the Ring of Ring of Abundance. The Church's Supernatural Being were under the control of Lady Winchel, but now the latter has been completely overtaken by Jonathan. Moreover, because the Holy Blood Army's siege of Port of Misi almost led to its destruction, it was Jonathan who ultimately resolved the issue. Now, Jonathan's status in Port of Misi is that of Dong Zhuo (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for his ruthlessness and cunning).

With Old Joe around, there's no need to worry about Winchel. To put it bluntly, the people in the church, in terms of faith loyalty, are probably not even as strong as those ordinary people on the street who have been blessed by chance. Their faith is unimaginably firm.

About half an hour later, Ryan exited the Misty Space and returned to his room.

I then opened the game and checked on 'Adele's' side. By then, my little wife had already reunited with Witch K.

Witch K was supposed to arrive at the manor two days ago, but she encountered a small problem along the way. Through Adele's perspective, Ryan learned that it was the Savior Witch Society that was behind it.

It has to be said that this force is much stronger than Ryan had imagined. According to Witch K's explanation, the leader of the Savior Witch Society, 'Melos', is a mad researcher and the most powerful genius (madwoman) in the Savior Witch Society for over a thousand years.

It is said that Melos once discovered some things left behind by the Primal Witch, and thus broke through the shackles of the Seventh Tier Transcendent and stepped into the Eighth Tier realm.

Whether it's true or not is unknown, because Melos hasn't shown her face for nearly three hundred years. She has locked herself in a mysterious research room, frantically researching the 'method of salvation,' while the people in the church are following Melos's will, researching and recruiting witches.

Witch K had received an invitation, but those who wanted her to join the Savior Witch Society were all sent to meet the God of Death.

In Adele's room, she had already briefly explained the situation of the past few days to the witch K, who was quite surprised by the efficiency of her actions.

Jonathan's existence is explained by Adele as someone she knew before, while Ryan and Sesia are followers of Balshatt's creation.

Although Witch K had some doubts, she believed in 'Adele' one hundred percent. Moreover, because she had the power, she wasn't worried about the authenticity of Ryan and Sesia as believers. Whether they were true or not, she would naturally find out in the future.

More than that, she was concerned about the future development of the Primal Church. Considering the madness of the Savior Witch Society, she feared that those guys would find Port of Misi before long.

Witch K likened those people to rats in a gutter, always popping up in unexpected places. Although you're not afraid of them, you can't just ignore them, but you'll get annoyed if you keep bothering them.

Only by rapidly expanding the Primal Church and creating a clash of powers can they find peace.

Moreover, she had not received any news from Balshatt since then, and Witch K was eager to develop the faith so that the latter could recover his strength as soon as possible.

The great Balshatt awaits her!

"I'll also help with the faith promotion. I'll send out puppets to recruit new members. You're right, it's better for us to control the initial selection of members for the church ourselves."

Witch K plans to send all the dolls in her house out.

As for the other church forces in Port of Misi, she didn't care at all.

Balshatt has already awakened once, and the great creator is about to return. At that time, Janus Doklodus will all have to prostrate themselves on the ground.

After talking with 'Adele', witch K left the room and casually strolled around the manor.

She did not reveal her identity, intending to secretly observe those who had joined the Primal Church in the manor, and then select those who were loyal and talented to enhance their strength.

After an afternoon of observation, Witch K ultimately selected only three people. One of them, Phyllis, was somewhat satisfactory to her, while the other two were purely there to make up the numbers, and whether they could even break through to the third tier in their lifetime was a question mark.

As a church under the name of the Lord of Creation, this was somewhat too meager. For this reason, Witch K silently recited her sins a hundred times in her heart—she was truly sorry for not being able to satisfy the Creator.

"Adele, tomorrow I'll have Phyllis and the others drink the Magic Potion; the Primal Church needs more Supernatural Being. Also, that girl named Sesia, she has good talent and has the potential to break through to the seventh rank. As for that guy named Rider..."

Witch K gently stroked her chin, pondering for a moment, "It's really strange, I actually sensed a special Magic Power fluctuation from him."

Adele looked up at the witch K: "Special Magic Power? What is it?"

"Balshatt." Witch K said solemnly, "You're surprised, aren't you? Perhaps his appearance wasn't accidental. If someone could possess this kind of Magic Power in a non-ritual state, then he would probably have been chosen by Balshatt long ago."

"Chosen long ago? How is that possible? Didn't you say Balshatt was still asleep?"

"Sleeping doesn't mean being unable to perceive the outside world, Adele. There's something I haven't told you. Actually, back in the Babel Tower, I had the privilege of speaking with Balshatt." Witch K clasped her hands together in front of her chest, as devout as a Nun. "He is the highest, greatest, most righteous, and supreme being, the creator who stands at the top of all things, so there's no need to doubt what He can do."

Adele blinked.

"You'll understand sooner or later." Witch K thought 'Adele' didn't understand, so she chuckled, "There aren't many people in this world who are fortunate enough to be called by the gods, so don't be too envious."

"I'm not envious at all. Maybe I'll become the Saintess of Balshatt someday."

"Hehe~ It's good to have ideas."

Witch K didn't refute, she just smiled, thinking to herself that the position of Saintess was not so easy to obtain. After all, she was the Creator, and her Saintess's status was no lower than that of the gods.

"I'll go test Rider again, to see if he's really here because of Balshatt, then that would be good for us."

Witch K's eyes darted around, and suddenly she thought of a brilliant idea.

"What do you want to do?" Adele tilted her head. "Rider is my friend, you can't bully him."

"Don't worry, my little darling, how could I bully anyone?" Witch K gently patted 'Adele's' head. "I just wanted to have a deeper conversation with him... Hmm? Adele, what's with that expression? Are you worried I'll steal him away?"

"Who knows if you'll be lonely for too long and start looking for someone?" Adele said.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Witch K choked a little, then her eyes widened. "Such a big rascal!"

"I'm not young at all."

Witch K suddenly remembered, "That's right, if Adele were to grow bigger, her size wouldn't be much different from hers. It's amazing how she can be big one minute and small the next."

"Never mind... I'll give him a kind of tea, and after he drinks it, he'll fall asleep. Then I'll enter his dream and talk to him. A person's response in their deepest state of consciousness doesn't lie. Don't worry, I won't ask about his private affairs. I just need to confirm whether he's the one chosen by Balshatt."

"Real?"

"Really, I promise."

Seeing Adele's wary expression, Witch K couldn't help but find it amusing. Would she, a witch, possibly lie to her?

But since this girl cares so much about Rider, could she actually be in love with him?

Hmm, then we'll have to be careful in selecting them.

Having been bored for a thousand years, witch K doesn't mind finding some amusement for herself in her spare time.

After talking with 'Adele', witch K went to the courtyard of the manor, pretending to sit there drinking tea. When Ryan 'happened' to pass by, she immediately called him over.

"Madam, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ryan asked with a gentlemanly smile.

He was just thinking about whether to wear a suit and a top hat to highlight his gentlemanly status as the Pure White Dragon.

"Mr. Rider, would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?" Witch K smiled. "I've heard about you from Adele. As for me... I'm a veteran member of the Primal Order. You can call me K."

"K?" Ryan exclaimed in surprise. "I heard from Ms. Adele that the Primal Church is an ancient organization that has existed for thousands of years. I suppose you, Miss K, are also a powerful Supernatural Being?"

"Ah...yes, yes, you're right." Witch K's lips twitched slightly, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Adele is right. Our organization is ancient and far-reaching, but it has always remained dormant in the shadows. Only recently have we begun to become active in the Southern Continent."

Ryan thought to himself, "That's not true. It's so quiet that there are only two people at the start, and all the equipment has to be obtained through gameplay."

"I wonder what business Miss K has with me?"

Ryan sat down.

Witch K didn't say anything, but simply poured him a cup of tea herself.

The red liquid swirled in the exquisite white jade cup, settling with a luster as brilliant as a ruby. Ryan looked at the cup of tea. This was what Witch K had told 'Adele' before—that drinking it would allow them to begin a deeper conversation?

"Thanks."

Ryan thanked him, picked up his teacup, and began to taste it.

Witch K would never harm him. As for what they would discuss, Ryan wasn't worried. He had already prepared Character Card to resist mind control. If all else failed, he could simply unleash his Magic Power, which would allow Witch K to imagine that he was the chosen one of Balshatt.

The black tea leaves a refreshing fragrance on the lips upon tasting.

It's really good tea, but I feel a little... drowsy.

"Miss K, this tea..."

Witch K smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, it's normal to feel sleepy. Relax, Rider, there are no outsiders here, you can completely trust me."

His chaotic consciousness began to blur, and even the voice of the witch K became intermittent, as if a demonic sound was swirling in his mind... Ryan propped his head up, slowly closed his eyes, and at the same time prepared to use the power of the Character Card to remove the mind control.

But at that moment, the necklace on his chest released a power that kept him awake even as he fell into a deep sleep.

At the same time, the Silver Cross Sword inside Ryan's body also reacted, but it seemed that because he was not in mortal danger, it only made an attacking stance.

"Here it is..."

Ryan found himself in a mist... wait, isn't this the Misty Space?

Weren't we supposed to have an in-depth discussion? Why are we here?

"No, this isn't the Misty Space, it just looks somewhat like it."

Ryan looked around, somewhat puzzled by his current situation. He was even unsure if this was one of Witch K's tricks.

According to his plan, he was supposed to use the Character Card to stay mentally alert and then have a deep conversation with the witch K, but instead he ended up here.

How can we communicate like this?

Um?

As he pondered, Ryan suddenly noticed that the surrounding mist had unknowingly turned pink.

He glanced down at the necklace hanging around his neck, his expression strange... Could it be this thing causing trouble again?

After thinking for a moment, he tried opening the game and found that it could be started.

Switching to the 'Adele' game interface, Ryan quickly sent 'Adele' to the yard to check the situation.

Why are you here?

Beside the tea table, the witch K opened a barrier to let 'Adele' in, then closed it again to prevent her attempt from being seen by the people in the manor.

"I'm worried about you. What if you secretly hurt Rider?" 'Adele' made up an excuse, then looked at Ryan, who was sleeping with his head propped up by the table. "What's wrong with him?"

Witch K smiled and explained, "He has already entered the dream world, a power that releases the very essence of personal desire. He will wallow in it until he confronts his true nature."

Adele frowned. "Wasn't it said that all we needed to do was confirm his Magic Power?"

"Oh well~ since we're going to try anyway, why not take this opportunity to see what kind of person he really is? Human desires don't lie, and I don't want you to meet the wrong person, my little darling. Don't worry, I won't hurt him, and if he really does possess the power that Balshatt passed through, it will definitely be revealed in the dream."

After saying that, Witch K waved her hand, and a virtual screen appeared in front of them.

"This is Rider's dream... Hmm? Pink? A pathway of desire?" Witch K paused, then turned her head and chuckled, "Adele, your friend here has quite the lecherous streak."

"Adele" said blankly, "Look inside carefully, are you sure you can still laugh?"

What happened inside?

When Witch K turned around, she froze on the spot.

Because in Ryan's dream, deep within that pink mist, Ryan was currently having a profound conversation with a naked woman, and that woman... was herself!!!

Chapter 188 The Witch K Collapses, The Pope's Prayer

"K, are you sure this wasn't something you did on purpose?"

The air inside the barrier was completely still until Adele broke the silence a minute later.

Witch K silently watched the events unfolding in Ryan's dream. Desire, lust—who could understand her current feelings? It was like sitting with her best friend, enjoying a gossip session, only to discover she was the main character in the story?

Why specifically lust?

This person seems quite serious.

Could the spell have gone wrong?

Witch K's thoughts were a bit chaotic, but she suddenly snapped back to reality and wanted to stop the scene as soon as possible. It would be fine if she were alone, but the problem was that Adele was also there. Even with her thousands of years of Dao heart, this feeling was making her a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, didn't you want to check on Rider? This is a good opportunity. It's just a minor accident, bear with it and it'll pass." 'Adele' revealed a mischievous smile.

Witch K glared at her. "If it were you, would you still be able to laugh?"

"Weren't you laughing happily just now? Does it mean it's okay for others but not for you? Wow! K, how can you be like this? A dignified witch, a follower of Balshatt, is this all you've got?"

Witch K: "..."

She looked at the 'little cutie' beside her with a strange expression, never before discovering that the latter was so lively. She had only been gone for a few days, how had he already learned to tease people?
