Pride

Despite the attacks from powerful figures like Snarner and Dist, "Red Angel" Medici made no move to counter them, instead focusing his will to conquer on Vermonda Soren, unleashing a giant sword formed from Purple Flames towards his head.

He will take advantage of this Loss of Control Calamity Giant being hit repeatedly and in its weakest state to deliver the final and most fatal blow!

Just then, a light appeared before the eyes of Snarner, Dist, and other powerful figures—pure Sunlight, Sunlight without a trace of darkness.

This caused all the filth to evaporate and all the blood to fade, making the two Angel, who had already revealed their Mythical Creature Form, seem to be exposed up close to the real Sun.

Emerging from that Sunlight was a Women of pristine beauty, clad in a white robe embroidered with gold thread.

Saint Viève, the Patron Angel of Trier!

He shielded the "Red Angel" from attacks from the other powerful figures present.

Almost simultaneously, Medici, clad in blood-stained Black Armor, descended like Mountain Peak, plunging his purple greatsword into the head of Vermonda Soren, into the steel Skull that showed signs of melting in the Sunlight.

Boom!

The inward-collapse-like explosion absorbed the surrounding abnormal phenomena such as Flames, Hurricane, Lightning, Hail, and Sunlight into the body of the Calamity Giant. The entire Wilderness suddenly became clean, except for the huge, Golden Whirlpool remaining in the invisible Flames high in the sky.

Boom!

After collapsing to its limit, it expanded and hurricane-like Hurricane rapidly tore apart Vermonda Soren's charred skeleton, turning the once bright environment into Gloom.

The rain poured down like Flood, countless flashes of Lightning appeared, and terrifying thunder echoed continuously.

An Angel has fallen, a "Conqueror" has died.

The powerful figures, including Snarner and Dist, who had just broken through Saint Viève's blockade, witnessed this scene. They saw Vermonda Soren's body torn to pieces, and they saw the "Red Angel" Medici, who had also manifested Mythical Creature Form, draw his Purple Flames greatsword, turn around, and look at them with a contemptuous and mocking gaze.

With a sharp look in his eyes, Snarner Einhorn made a quick assessment, then transformed into a streak of fire, shooting into the air and into the enormous Whirlpool of invisible Flames.

He realized that, under the current circumstances, even if he joined forces with the "Iron and Blood Cross Order," it would be impossible to defeat the "Red Angel" and Saint Viève.

The former is clearly already Sequence 1 "Conqueror", and in this special environment, it seems that it can still make limited use of the terrifying power Depths of Fourth Epoch Trier!

In that case, we should retreat when we should retreat, or run away when we should run away, otherwise we might very well perish here as well!

As Snarner plunged into the massive Whirlpool in mid-air, Dist also transformed into a rainbow and soared into the sky, carrying Tony Dunn as they fled the Wilderness in pursuit of That One Einhorn family's "Weather Warlock."

As Angel who follow the "Hunter" Pathway, they share a striking similarity in their assessment of situations and the choices they make.

Seeing this, "Red Angel" Medici did not stop them, but chuckled and muttered to herself, "The way your Descendants escapes is reminiscent of your former glory."

He then turned his gaze to Saint Viève and said with a smile, "Now we can move on to the final part of the plan: eliminating those Outer Deity' Gifted."

Saint Viève nodded slightly, radiating intense light, and flew towards Fourth Epoch Trier, shrouded in Gray Fog, as if chasing the Sun.

Depths within Fourth Epoch Trier, beside a thick, wall-like White Fog.

Bernadette Gustav, the Eldest Daughter of Emperor Roselle, gazed at the seal with Eyes that seemed to hold countless mysterious symbols.

In His palm, on the Golden Lamp shaped like a miniature kettle, the pale golden figure once again appeared through the viscous light.

It said to Bernadette, "Go further ahead, and use the method I told you to find Monster to make a wish to me in your place. I can use Behind-the-Scenes Manipulation to get you something from here that will help balance the things your father Corruption."

Bernadette didn't take a step, and said in a calm voice, "I came in here just to analyze the seal here, and to analyze how the various Corruption here have formed a delicate balance after years of integration and confrontation."

"That sigh just now was an unexpected bonus."

"Time is running out. If you don't act more aggressively, once the ' Fallen Mother Goddess ' enters the Barrier, your father will truly become Monster," the Distortion, blurry, pale gold figure warned sternly.

Bernadette showed no reaction and continued to absorb the knowledge related to the seal.

The pale gold figure fell silent, offering no further advice, and returned to the strangely shaped lamp.

Gardner Martin's head, clad in Silver-White helmet, dragged his bloodied, white Spine as he flew into the air.

He looked down and saw a Giant Sword of Light materialize in the palm of a body with a bloody gash on its neck.

He—no, his body can use the "Storm of Light" of the "Pride Armor" again!

And this time, the target seems to be his head!

This... this is the Betrayal Curse? My body betrayed my mind... How can there be betrayal again? Is it because I've been wearing the "Pride Armor" all this time? Gardner Martin's pupils dilated, his heart filled with terror.

As he condensed numerous Reddish-White Fireball, attempting to reduce the Impact of the "Storm of Light" with the explosions around him, he focused his mind on his brow, trying to connect with that great will and pray for its Protection.

Beside the mangled Corpse of Vermonda Soren, "Red Angel" Medici stretched out his right hand, watching as tiny specks of light, a Fusion of iron and blood, flew from That One "Conqueror's " body and landed on the broken Skull in his palm.

At that moment, He heard Gardner Martin's cry and plea.

"Red Angel" chuckled and ignored him.

This piece has fulfilled its purpose and is no longer of any use.

Gardner Martin did not submit to the great will Depths of Fourth Epoch Trier, but to Him, the "Red Angel"!

For the past few years, "Red Angel" Medici has been secretly plotting to obtain the Sequence 1 "Conqueror" Beyonder Characteristic lost by the Sauron Family. To this end, he used his special abilities and status to help several members of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" maintain their clarity and Rationality when facing the Corruption of the building at No. 13 Market Avenue, preventing them from turning into Monster and only causing them slight effects.

Then, relying on his special disguise as the Great Will Depths of Fourth Epoch Trier, He used those members of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" to learn about the situation Underground and the exact whereabouts of Vermonda Soren.

During this process, He discovered the problem with the "Person in the Mirror," but did not interfere or exert influence. Instead, He promoted the completion of the plan and intended to involve the Evil God Gift-Bearers in Trier, both to use them to divert the attention of other forces and to extract corresponding special value, and to initially clarify what problems were hidden.

As the plan was progressing steadily, Philip told Gardner Martin about Lumian Lee's situation, and Gardner Martin undoubtedly prayed to the Great Will.

"Red Angel" Medici used this as a springboard for a better plan, and thus gave Gardner Martin "divine revelation," granting him considerable Mysticism knowledge, and "devising" the "Hostel Ritual."

This Ritual has two advantages: firstly, it is less disruptive and has a higher chance of success; secondly, it can "trick" Trier into bringing all the most powerful Evil God Gift-Bearers into Trier in the Fourth Epoch, wiping them out and purifying them all in one fell swoop!

Watching the Beyonder Characteristic rapidly coalesce in his hand, "Red Angel" Medici raised his head and looked at the gradually shrinking Golden Vortex.

His smile became even more pronounced on his face, which was covered in festering wounds.

Whether it's the "Hostel" plan or the original scheme that utilized the Special Mirror World, both require the cooperation of a certain force and the help of a True God.

That is, the "Eternal Blazing Sun"!

Yes, how could the "Sun," which cannot tolerate even a trace of darkness, filth, and baseness, truly cooperate with the "Mother Goddess," who represents depravity and evil?

When He ascended to godhood, turning His back on That One original Lord, He did not wish to submit to any other Deity. So why would He now submit to this "Fallen Mother Goddess," an Outer Deity god, or to any other being?

What He needs and what He approves of are collaborators. I am willing to be that collaborator, and even if I become Old One, I will acknowledge this agreement and defend together as a collaborator.

With the current position of the Lord of War vacant and Cheek in poor condition, I am the most likely to ascend to the status of True God in a short period of time and become one of the Old One!

The "Sun" did not repent or give up, nor did it return to That One original Lord, nor did it submit to the "Fallen Mother Goddess" who was above all the gods. Instead, it embarked on the path of bearing the pressure, facing the worst possible outcome, and supporting a new Old One.

It was almost the worst option, but He did it anyway.

Because He is the proud Sun.

The "Red Angel's" gaze pierced through the Golden Whirlpool, revealing the gradually calming storm above Trier and the significantly reduced frequency of Lightning.

He laughed even more triumphantly.

As He had predicted, the Tyrant and the Old Dragon now understood the whole situation and no longer took the opportunity to deal with the "Sun," thus preventing the being who inherited most of the original That One's legacy from using it.

They also long to see a new Old One appear.

"Red Angel" Medici turned his gaze to his palm, where a blood-stained, crown-like, iron-black object was about to take shape.

He recalled some past events, recalling the betrayal he had only come to understand years ago, which came from the Lord to That One he had served for 2,401 years.

His choice was not to forgive; His choice was to cooperate with the "Eternal Blazing Sun."

Because He was also the proud Angel King, once the most loyal "Red Angel".

Once the Beyonder Characteristic of Sequence 1 "Conqueror" were fully formed, Medici chuckled and said, "The Curse on your worthless descendants can now end."

He then pressed the Bloodstained Iron Crown formed from the broken Skull in his hand into his brow and swallowed it directly, without using Potion.

The blood and remains of Vermonda Soren, spilled on the Wilderness, seemed to come alive and shattered on their own, pouring into the body of the "Red Angel" like a torrent.
