As a being of Evil Spirit nature, before Kronos was imbued with the power of light, the damage caused by his attacks was not as great as one might imagine.

The damage from this Spear of Longinus is more physical; while it does considerable damage to the Red Angel Evil Spirit, it's clearly not enough to kill it instantly.

A dark red spear pierced through his chest, pinning the Red Angel Evil Spirit to the ground. Along with the spear, a Playing Cards fell to the ground, depicting a the Chariot and a Deep Red Priest.

In fact, this was Kronos's ultimate purpose in launching this attack.

After the Red Priest Card was completely knocked down, the Red Angel Evil Spirit had even less power to use, and was basically powerless to resist in the hands of Kronos.

Kronos bent down gently and, under the watchful eye of the Red Angel Evil Spirit, took the Playing Cards from the ground.

"Hahaha, how come you've suddenly become so bold? You actually dared to take my things!" The Red Angel changed her previous speaking style, speaking with sarcasm and provocation towards Kronos.

This is the true way this Pathway works; how can you be considered a Hunter without provoking others?

Kronos chuckled softly and said, "It wasn't that I was afraid before, but I wanted to control you as well, so I ultimately had to activate the Ritual Magic, and I chose one that suited your wishes."

Kronos wasn't stupid. While he was studying the Ritual Magic on the platform, he roughly figured out the Red Angel Evil Spirit's purpose. But as he said, since he had to activate the Ritual Magic anyway, he might as well go with the flow.

"This Demigod, barely the size of an ant, dares to take my things? Aren't you afraid I might have left some hidden traps to ambush you?"

Watching Sauron Einhorn Medici continue his tirade, Kronos didn't respond. Instead, the hand holding the Blasphemy Card slowly lit up, and then the entire Playing Cards lit up as well.

This is the power of light. Kronos imbued the Red Priest Card with light, thus completing a Purification.

Seeing the light emanating from Kronos's hand, the Red Angel Evil Spirit was somewhat surprised, so he asked, "What kind of blood did you use to ascend? How could you acquire such a skill?"

Light is indeed quite versatile, a truly all-around support ability. With the Red Angel Evil Spirit's experience, she naturally saw through the essence of this ability at a glance, which is why she asked such a question.

As for the Mysticologist's Advancement Ritual, Kronos had no doubt that the Red Angel Evil Spirit knew about it, since the three Archangel made up this Evil Spirit had all come into contact with the Second Blasphemy Slate, and Medici had even come into contact with the first one.

Kronos made no attempt to hide anything from him, after all, this Red Angel Evil Spirit already knew far too many of his secrets.

So Kronos said, "I'm lucky; I unexpectedly obtained a drop of the Eternal Blazing Sun's blood."

The Red Angel Evil Spirit curled its lip and said, "No wonder, it was that traitor. Of course, given how weak He is, bleeding is to be expected."

There must have been significant conflicts among the King of Angel under the Ancient Sun God.

The White Angel Aucuses, the Wind Angel Leodero, and the Wisdom Angel Herabergen devoured the Ancient Sun God, and thus became True God.

Ouroboros and Medici, on the other hand, have always been loyal to the True Creator, so their conflicts are naturally significant.

Given Medici's personality, it's understandable that he often makes sarcastic remarks.

Kronos held the Red Priest Card and asked, "Your Excellency Red Angel, I actually wanted to ask why you are able to use the power of this Playing Cards? I clearly don't perceive any power within Playing Cards."

The Red Angel Evil Spirit heard Kronos's question, grinned, and laughed.

"You should find a place to do manual labor. This kind of understanding is really not suitable for the Hermit Pathway; becoming a barbarian is more suitable for you."

He started with sarcasm, and then fell silent, clearly having no intention of answering Kronos's question.

Seeing the Red Angel Evil Spirit's uncooperative attitude, Kronos was a little scratched his head.

Since appeasement won't work, we'll have to take a tougher stance.

So Kronos extended his right hand, and a Blood Red spear appeared in his hand.

Seeing Kronos's actions, the Red Angel Evil Spirit said, "What? Can't keep up the act anymore? Planning to torture me? Your crappy gun can't even make me feel pain, how are you going to torture me?"

Seeing the Red Angel Evil Spirit stubbornly mocking him, Kronos activated his power of light once again.

Starting from where Kronos gripped it, the Spear of Longinus slowly turned a fiery white, as Kronos imbued it with the power of light.

This spear is now at least as powerful as the Spear of Unshadowed of the Unshadowed.

Looking at the blazing white gun, the Red Angel Evil Spirit was a little intimidated and shut its mocking mouth.

Although they are both guns, they are completely different to Evil Spirit.

The ordinary Spear of Longinus only causes the Red Angel Evil Spirit a little pain and inflicts some damage on Evil Spirit body; it's not that terrible, and it doesn't necessarily kill it.

But things are different now. If the power of light passes through the body of Evil Spirit, the burning sensation that never goes out is extremely Affliction, and it may not be able to withstand it for long before it dies completely.

Why does He know so much?

Medici's leader was, after all, Ancient Sun God. When he emerged from the Chaos Sea, he was a true god with both the Sun and the Hanged Man Dual-Pathway True God. Medici had a very good understanding of the power of the Sun.

Seeing that the Red Angel Evil Spirit had actually shut its mouth, Kronos laughed.

"You should also know about the Sun Pathway's ability to control Evil Spirit. Tell me, what I want to know."

The Red Angel Evil Spirit fell silent.

His pride prevented him from being threatened by a Demigod, but now his life was indeed in danger.

Just as the Red Angel Evil Spirit fell silent, a bloody mouth suddenly split open on its left cheek, opening and closing as it spoke:

"Medici, what else do you want to consider? You've fallen to such a state, do you still deserve to consider your pathetic self-esteem?"

"I support this view; survival is the most important thing!" A mouth also appeared on His right cheek.

"What do you know? This shameless guy never intended for us to live. What good would it do to tell him? Have your brains degenerated?" Medici retorted without any politeness.

The Red Angel Evil Spirit has always maintained its most normal state, meaning Medici is in control of everything.

But in fact, Sauron and Einhorn had also presupposed His decision, which allowed them to proceed smoothly.

However, at this point, the two Conqueror were clearly dissatisfied with Medici's decision, so they started arguing with themselves.

Kronos watched with great interest as the Red Angel Evil Spirit argued with themselves, even sheathing the Spear of Longinus behind his back to avoid interrupting their debate.

It's a rare sight to see the Red Angel Evil Spirit arguing with itself, so Kronos naturally wanted to watch it a little longer.

"Since you knew he was shameless, why did you scheme against him in the first place? You should have just given him that Playing Cards from the beginning; maybe you could have escaped."

"Bullshit, this guy never intended to let us leave in the first place, nothing we do will make a difference."

"We shouldn't have let you take the lead in the first place. Your brain must have been corrupted by that guy, the True Creator; it's completely useless."

"Did you decide to let me take the lead? You were clearly pitifully weak, neither of you could compete with me. If I hadn't pitied you, I would have killed you long ago."

The three Sequence One Conqueror were arguing fiercely in front of Kronos.

Kronos began to regret that he didn't have any camera to capture the scene; such moments should have been preserved.

The Red Angel Evil Spirit got more and more excited as they argued, and even started to fight.

He raised his hand and slapped the mouth on the right cheek.

I don't know if the one on the right is Sauron or Einhorn, but he definitely speaks the harshest language, constantly mocking Medici.

Watching this unconventional method of fighting, Kronos wondered if it was an attack on his opponent or on himself.

This curiosity briefly distracted Kronos.

The Red Angel Evil Spirit seized the opportunity and pounced on Kronos.

Sauron and Einhorn are Sequence One Conqueror, not street thugs. How could they possibly cause trouble in this crisis?

It's all just a routine.

They were well aware that their situation was strange, so they were deliberately revealing their condition in the hopes that Kronos would become distracted.

However, they didn't understand why Kronos was so accepting of their three souls being one, and the desired outcome didn't occur.

So, left with no other option, the three of them started arguing, and even "got physical."

To their surprise, this action gave them an opportunity.

They truly couldn't win in a fight, and the Red Priest Card had been taken away. So, if they wanted to escape unscathed, they could only try their best to control Kronos's body.

While possessed by the Evil Spirit, the Red Angel Evil Spirit was confident that it could completely control Kronos, after all, it had lived for so many more years, and Kronos was not even a fraction of its lifespan.

So in that instant when Kronos was distracted, the Red Angel Evil Spirit entered his body.

In the instant he was possessed by the Evil Spirit, Kronos did indeed panic.

He never expected that his momentary lapse in attention would give the Red Angel Evil Spirit an opportunity to exploit.

His assessment was basically the same as the Red Angel Evil Spirit's: he might not be able to break free from the Red Angel Evil Spirit's control.

In this respect, Kronos was just an ordinary Demigod. After all, Ince Will was possessed by him and could not get rid of it until his death.

Therefore, Kronos immediately wanted to unleash the power of light.

With opposing forces at play, perhaps Kronos will be able to banish the Red Angel Evil Spirit.

However, the Red Angel Evil Spirit had clearly anticipated this move from the beginning, so Kronos instantly lost control of his body.

Following the typical novel formula, this is where the cheat system comes into play, destroying the remnant soul that attempted to Possession the body.

Unfortunately, the Time Stone is shattered, and the power of time that permeates Kronos's mind clearly hasn't made that move.

"Your physical abilities are truly impressive; you don't resemble Mysticologist at all. You're a little less skilled than Iron-Blooded Knight, but the difference isn't that significant."

Kronos clearly heard the voice of the Red Angel Evil Spirit in his ear, but he was unable to speak.

In an instant, Kronos lost control of his body, much to his frustration.

Kronos tried his best to fight the Red Angel Evil Spirit with his own Consciousness, but the results were really poor, and he was completely crushed.

Before long, the Red Angel Evil Spirit was able to begin controlling Kronos's hands.

He controlled Kronos's hand, the one holding the Spear of Longinus, waving it back and forth in front of his eyes, while speaking:

"You just scared me with this gun. Tell me, if I were to hit you with it, could you take it?"

Now, listening to the arrogant voice of the Red Angel Evil Spirit, Kronos was filled with deep regret.

He truly never imagined that his carelessness would lead to such an irreversible result.

I wish I hadn't watched that famous scene.

It would have been so much better to just shoot him and kill him.

As for the secret of the Blasphemy Card, Kronos refused to believe that he couldn't figure it out himself without this Evil Spirit.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Kronos could clearly sense that the Red Angel Evil Spirit's control over his body was growing stronger.

He was able to slowly control his body and walk.

I have to find a way to regain control of my body, otherwise I really won't have a chance to turn things around.

Thinking about controlling his body, Kronos suddenly remembered his Nine Secrets Meditation Method.

It should be understood that the Inner Eight-Character Seal of the Zhe Secret Art represents the free control of one's own body.

Although he didn't know if it would work, Kronos had no other choice at this point.

Kronos has lost control of his body, so it's unlikely he can form the Inner Eight-Character Seal.

He had no choice but to visualize the word "zhe" in his mind in order to complete the Nine Secrets meditation.

Even he himself hadn't expected that the Nine Secrets Meditation would actually yield such a high score at this moment.

After the word "" became clearer and clearer, Cronus could clearly feel that his consciousness could easily resist the attack of the Red Angel evil spirit.

"What did you do? How could your weak Consciousness possibly stop me?" the Red Angel Evil Spirit said angrily.

As the situation in the battle of Consciousness changed, Kronos began to turn the tide, gradually shifting from passive defense to counter-offensive.
