Grim Reaper

"Ancient mages' technical records are an immense legacy..."

Sulu stood atop a high tower, quietly watching everything unfold.

In His view, the main competitors among the mortals this time were only Jenny and Warren.

"If Jenny Black obtains the floating city's treasures, she will take a solid step down the path to godhood. Even if she fails, she will not lose much. But Warren is different. This is his final chance. If he loses it again, perhaps fate's favor will diminish to its limit... What a pity."

Warren was still too weak at this point.

A fifth-rank Saint could be considered an important figure anywhere, but he was still far from the true pinnacle.

Jenny had merely used her ability to create steam-powered mechanical servants to hold him off while entering the floating city herself.

"Daughter of Steam!"

A ringing voice sounded as someone from the God of Knowledge's Holy See made a move.

The phantom of a massive book intercepted Jenny, blocking her path.

Seeing this, Jenny merely chuckled as an invisible influence spread outward.

The book phantom instantly decayed, streaks of rust appearing across it, while the sound of meshing gears echoed all around.

"This is... corruption from an evil entity!"

"Daughter of Steam, she truly is an evil false god!"

Having fused the bloodlines of ancient demons and monsters, Jenny's combat strength was now astonishing, no weaker than that of the two great popes at the world's peak.

A black-and-red vertical eye emerged on her forehead. Seeing through the void, she flashed directly into the floating city's interior.

"Great God of Knowledge, avatar of Wisdom, nameless sage... I pray to You, I pray for Your power to descend!"

A trace of resolve appeared on the God of Knowledge's pope's face as he began praying for divine descent.
