What Came Next

Chris Empire, Northern Province.

Sulu, dressed in a black overcoat and wearing a silk hat, sat in a coffee shop, watching pedestrians walk by on the street, toying with a silver pocket watch in his hand.

He amassed a considerable haul after the battle of the Ruins of Doom.

The most important of these is this Curio called the ' Reversal Pocket Watch '.

Its ability can even slightly distort spacetime, forcibly summoning a historical phantom for its own use.

Of course, the price paid was also terrible.

"And... there should be limits, for example... it can't involve gods!"

Sulu picked up a cup of coffee, took a small sip, and had already conducted a very in-depth study of this Curio.

Deities are unique and unpredictable... This Curio is not a divine artifact and cannot even touch upon the realm of the gods.

However, being able to summon a sixth-tier professional to attack is still quite impressive.

"After this battle, we cannot afford to be complacent... I will not be returning to the Federation."

Sulu made a decision in secret.

He didn't have many ties within the Federation, with Sean being one of them. He visited Sean this time and found that Sean was doing well, so there was nothing to worry about.

Because of his interference, the three colored pyramids have settled to a depth that even he cannot detect, protected by a powerful force. With the two competitors falling behind, there shouldn't be any problems.

Besides, Beatrice has been brought here to live with Rhode and the others.

"Although their identities have been fabricated, this world still has divination; even if I cover for them, they might still be discovered..."

Sulu calculated his own strength.

Even if a group of sixth-tier professionals were to surround and attack him, he could calmly lead Rhode and the others to any place in the world without fear.

The only thing to worry about is some divine Curio, or even Avatar of gods!

Through this experiment, he learned that clones are not invincible.

"If that happens... we must proactively cancel the Shadow Clone before the attack arrives."

Sulu picked up a piece of bacon with his knife and fork, savoring the rich flavor of the meat, and made a decision in his mind.

Otherwise, it might directly implicate the main body.

Furthermore, if the situation deteriorates to such a dire degree, then Rhode and the others will be unable to attend to other matters, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

It would be incredibly foolish for them to be arrested and threatened into obediently coming out to face their deaths!

I've done my best, and if it's still beyond repair, there's nothing more to say.

After becoming a god, he will surely destroy all the enemies in this world, and will be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Goddess of Light.

He looked out the window.

Rhode was unaware of his arrival and was shopping with Anfei.

Anfei held Rhode's arm with a happy expression; the two looked like a loving couple.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Sulu's lips.

White Eagle Federation

Green Tree Castle.

Inside the empty villa.

Dunstan sat in Sulu's usual spot and started smoking his meerschaum pipe.

"This is really... unbelievable."

Silently exhaling a smoke ring, Dunstan's expression became somewhat strange.

The events that occurred at the Ruins of Doom are top secret.

Even the Church of the Goddess of Light didn't get much information. They only recently managed to obtain the revelation of Sulu's advancement to the sixth rank and the failure of the operation through Curio and divination.

This intelligence was subsequently leaked and obtained by Green Tree Castle.

Even Dunstan was surprised to find that Sulu, whom he had met last time, was already a sixth-tier professional!

"Truly monstrous talent... no, it requires not only monstrous talent, but also unparalleled luck. Lord Sulu's secrets are far more profound than I imagined."

Dunstan's gaze was distant. "Truly... both enviable and regrettable."

If he had known this earlier, he might have hidden Sulu Xue away and nurtured her at Fang Cheng strong enough, the power structure of the Federation would inevitably change.

The only regret is that Sulu was exposed a little too early.

While the sixth rank is already the pinnacle of the world, the Church of the Goddess of Light is even more unfathomable.

"Your Excellency, Chief."

A shadow flickered, Siso emerged from the darkness. "The Church of the Goddess of Light has lodged a strong protest with us, demanding our cooperation... It seems Alfred has gone mad!"

"With such huge losses, it would be strange if they didn't go crazy."

Ilin stepped forward, his expression grave. "Lord Sulu has been designated an enemy of the Light, and is third on the Purge List!"

"Snort!"

Upon hearing this, both Dunstan and Siso snorted in dissatisfaction.

The Church of the Goddess of Light's actions are far too domineering.

Unfortunately, the other party does indeed have the capital to be domineering.

"The Federation agreed as well?"

"It should be tacit agreement, after all, they need the support and cooperation of the Goddess Church... the connection between the two is far closer than ours."

At this point, all three fell silent.

"Since the Arcane Spirit incident, I've realized... we can never compare to the Church of the Goddess of Light. Any slight effort we make will be met with suppression. All of this is because we lack a truly decisive force."

Dunstan took a deep breath. "I already received a message from Sulu. He has taken Brigitte away and transferred all the shares of the Telegraph Company to the Inner Circle. Let's leave it at that. I will send Telegraph to the Federation later to remove Sulu Potter from his Honorary Councilor seat."

Siso and Ilin sighed, but did not refute it.

They lacked the strength to make this choice.

"However... the Telegraph Company is only nominally under our control; the dividends and profits will still need to be managed in a separate account set up by Sulu."

Dunstan waved his hand wearily. "That's enough... A great era is dawning, we should get started on that plan."

"Your Excellency, you mean..."

Siso and Ilin's eyes lit up.

"We, Green Tree Castle, must possess sufficient strength to protect ourselves!"

Dunstan's speech was powerful and resounding.

A few days later, with Green Tree Castle's announcement, the entire Mystic World was thrown into turmoil.

Of course, Sulu hadn't committed any serious crimes on the surface, so he didn't end up being wanted by the entire Federation government—which would have only brought retaliation.

However, the higher-ups in the mysterious circle all know that this genius [Planeswalker] has been placed on the Church of the Goddess of Light's kill list and is wanted by the authorities.

Even simply providing information can earn you a hefty reward.

The information that the opponent had already advanced to the sixth rank and thwarted the Church's power had somehow leaked out.

Sulu's reputation spread rapidly throughout the Old Continent, and he truly rose to fame! He entered the ranks of the world's top-level extraordinary beings!
