Things returned to their proper course

After the Angel of Concealment disappeared, Klein asked timidly from behind, "What was that just now?"

Kronos replied, "0-17, the Angel of Concealment, the essence of Saint Samuel Cathedral."

Kronos could clearly feel Klein's body tremble, clearly realizing his identity.

At this time, he was completely unaware of his situation and was afraid that his resurrection would bring him trouble, so he dared not show himself.

Little did he know that the Evernight Goddess had been watching him for a long time, and without Evernight Goddess help, he might have been long gone.

Just as Kronos was about to say something else, a figure appeared behind Klein.

Kronos looked closely and realized it was Mr. Azik.

Indeed, the Descent Ritual was disrupted, the Backlund Great Smog was prevented, and the Angel of Concealment have already appeared; the battle over there should be over by now.

Ince Will was quite lucky; it's likely that the Evernight Goddess chose him as the Ritual for Klein's ascension to Demigod, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep going for so long.

You have to understand, in today's situation, Ince practically brushed past the Angel of Concealment, and yet the Angel of Concealment didn't even bother to deal with him.

Upon seeing Mr. Azik, Kronos nodded slightly in greeting.

"You know me? I feel a familiar aura about you?" Mr. Azik asked, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

How could I not recognize his aura? He's wearing Death God Mask.

However, because Kronos was stronger, it interfered with Mr. Azik's senses, and he did not detect the Death God Mask, but only felt a familiar aura on Kronos.

Kronos remained calm and smiled, "Of course I know you, Mr. Azik. It's been a long time."

Kronos wasn't exactly lying; the two of them hadn't seen each other for several months, that's quite a long time!

However, it is clear that Azik and Klein do not understand it that way.

"Archbishop Horamick, have you met Mr. Azik before?" Klein asked.

In Klein's view, this was his number one ally, so it was perfectly reasonable for him to do something for his ally.

Kronos maintained his benevolent smile and said, "Of course, but back then Mr. Azik was a big shot."

That's definitely false.

Azik's most glorious period was in the Fourth Epoch, when he was the son of Death Consul and the Death Consul of Death of the Balam Kingdom; he was indeed a great figure.

But even though Horamick lived a little longer, he didn't live to that extent.

But the two people on the other end didn't know that, so they took it seriously.

Mr. Azik began by asking, "Could you tell me about my background and life experiences?"

Kronos smiled slightly, then said deceptively, "Mr. Azik, don't you understand yet?"

"Your own memories can only be unearthed by yourself. Even if I tell you everything now, you still won't be able to access all your past memories."

"You can only explore little by little according to the fragments of your memories, slowly stimulating more memories, so that you can completely regain your memories."

One advantage of reasonable people is that if your explanation sounds plausible, they will genuinely believe it.

Kronos simply didn't want to change the plot, so he didn't want to bring things up at this time.

But judging from Mr. Azik's state, he clearly believed this explanation.

Azik was slightly confused for a moment, then gradually strengthened his resolve, and looked up at Kronos and said:

"Thank you for reminding me. I should indeed have more faith in my regained memories and then gradually search for the truth."

Then he changed the subject, saying, "Are you from the Church of Steam and Machinery Member? Do you need my help with the Demoness Sect's affairs?"

Mr. Azik was clearly referring to Panatiya was behind Kronos.

Kronos shook his head. "No need. I've definitely received the Message. I'll just have someone handle it in a bit."

Mr. Azik nodded and said, "Then let's go."

These words were not spoken to Kronos, but to Klein was standing beside him.

Klein nodded, and Mr. Azik prepared to lead him away.

Before leaving, Mr. Azik nodded to Kronos.

Kronos said, "Then I look forward to seeing you again. And to that Detective Moriarty, I suggest you leave Backlund as soon as possible, or someone will be coming to investigate you very soon."

After bowing and thanking him, Klein followed Mr. Azik and they Spirit World Traversal to leave.

After the two left, Kronos turned to look at Panatiya behind him.

After a moment's thought, Kronos decided to turn her into Fallen Servant.

The Corruption Bracelet can only have two Fallen Servant at a time. Kronos already has one Demigod- level Fallen Servant, Qonas, so let's choose Panatiya as the second one.

The main reason was that the Demoness of Despair's Beyonder Characteristic held little appeal for Kronos.

Kronos already has quite a few Sequence 4 Beyonder Item; having more wouldn't be of much use.

The Demoness Pathway is also a decent option for Kronos.

It can increase its own speed, has the ability to restrict opponents, has Mirror Substitution and Staff Substitution spells, can become invisible, and can also control frost and Black Flame.

Faced with these methods, the disease's ability to manifest itself becomes less important.

Having made his decision, Kronos acted immediately, and moments later, Panatiya became a Fallen Servant.

After glancing around and finding nothing missing, Kronos left.

After leaving the Ruins, Kronos went straight back to the Saint Hilleran Cathedral.

"Everyone, come to see me!"

A sound came from Horamick's room, startling everyone in Saint Hilleran Cathedral.

None of them expected Horamick to finish his research so quickly, but they all rushed to Horamick's room as fast as they could.

Inside the room, Kronos sat upright in Horamick's chair, with his Mechanical Puppet standing beside him.

He had already gone through Mr. Jacques's memories and found that Horamick always appeared kind and gentle to everyone, without any exceptions.

This is a good thing; it greatly reduces the difficulty for Kronos.

That's why he dared to confront everyone in the Saint Hilleran Cathedral so quickly.

After everyone had arrived, Kronos smiled kindly and said, "Today, a major event occurred in Backlund: the Aurora Order has joined forces with the Demoness Sect."

"The Aurora Order wants to perform a Descent of God by a True Creator, while the Demoness Sect wants to unleash a Plague."

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

Kronos continued, "But I learned of their plot beforehand, so I joined forces with the Church of Evernight to thwart it."

"I obtained their plans for Backlund from the Demoness Sect's Despair Nightingale, so now it's your turn: find them all and bring them back."

After saying that, Kronos tossed out a piece of paper filled with Information Kronos had obtained from Panatiya.

After the question was passed around, someone asked, "Everyone here is from the Demoness Sect, Aurora Order?"

"Mr. A of the Aurora Order should have already fallen into the hands of the Church of Evernight. Let them decide what to do with him; we are only responsible for the Demoness Sect."

Everyone present had no objection to Kronos's answer.

The Church of Steam and Machinery and the Church of Evernight had a good relationship, and even their doctrines aligned well with those of the Church of Evernight.

Perhaps in the very beginning, the God of Steam and Machinery was clinging to the Evernight Goddess.

However, the Evernight Goddess was too well hidden, leading the God of Steam and Machinery to believe he had a chance to turn the tables, only to be utterly betrayed.

After Kronos finished giving his instructions, the Saint Hilleran Cathedral sprang into action, mobilizing all its personnel to capture members of the Demoness Sect in the East Borough.

This is only because it's in the East Borough; otherwise, the Church of Steam and Machinery wouldn't have had a chance to take action.

Kronos looked at the people who had no suspicion whatsoever and breathed a sigh of relief.

The most important step in disguising himself as Horamick has been taken; all that remains is to gradually blend in.

Looking at the somewhat idle Old Fan beside him, Kronos said directly, "Old Fan, you used to be Archbishop, so from now on, all the affairs of Hill will be handled by you. I don't know how."

Old Fan hadn't expected such a heavy burden, so he simply dumped it on him.

However, judging from Kronos's expression, he was clearly not given a chance to refuse, so he could only reluctantly agree.

With the great commotion caused by the Church of Steam and Machinery, the Church of Storms finally Consciousness that something seemed to have happened.

The investigation revealed that the Church of Steam and Machinery had captured a group of members of the Demoness Sect, while the Church of Evernight made no response whatsoever.

Only then did they realize what they had missed.

Just like in the original story, the Archbishop of God's Dove was transferred from Backlund due to the death of Duke Negan, only much earlier.

The new Archbishop is still Riedal Valentin.

The Archbishop immediately contacted Anthony and Kronos to find out what had happened.

Kronos never intended to hide it; in fact, he wanted to escalate the matter, so he simply told everyone.

Anthony didn't quite understand this tactic. In his view, if things were handled well, and then used as leverage to force the Royal Family to compromise, the benefits would be substantial.

However, the Angel of Concealment ultimately instructed Anthony that this matter required cooperation with the Church of Steam and Machinery.

Anthony knew, of course, that the Angel of Concealment was Consciousness, so the person who gave him the instructions could only be the god he believed in, and naturally he cooperated fully.

So, after hearing their explanations, Riedal finally understood what had happened.

If this matter is to escalate, then we must make things clear with the Church of Storms.

In the Loen Kingdom, the Church of Storms is the only cooperative church of the Royal Family; otherwise, it wouldn't possess such great power, and the entire Royal Family wouldn't even worship the Lord of Storms.

If Kronos directly leads the Church of Steam and Machinery and the Church of Evernight to pressure the Royal Family, the Church of Storms Church of Storms undoubtedly blindly support the Royal Family without their knowledge. The truth can be investigated later.

But if they knew the situation beforehand, things would be completely different.

The Royal Family, which cooperated with the Church of Storms, has now turned around and cooperated with the Aurora Order and the Demoness Sect, and is even plotting Descent of God.

What is this? This is blatant betrayal.

For these Storm Brothers, not getting any benefits is a minor matter; betrayal is something they absolutely cannot tolerate!

At that time, the Church of Steam and Machinery and the Church of Evernight only need to cheer from the sidelines; the Church of Storms is better suited to take on the task of charging into battle.

Sure enough, after hearing what had happened, Riedal was so angry he almost exploded on the spot. He dragged Anthony and Kronos to the Royal Palace to demand an explanation.

Anthony and Kronos exchanged a glance, then smiled knowingly before following Riedal directly to the Royal Palace.

Even if the Royal Family had plenty of confidence at this moment, they would not dare to confront the three angry Archbishop directly.

Therefore, George III did not appear in person, but conveyed his attitude through the Earl the Royal Palace.

This time, Prince Edessak was seduced by Demoness and colluded with a cult in an attempt to rebel, but his plot was exposed and he committed suicide.

To express his apology and to acknowledge the church's contributions during this time.

Regardless of how they obtained their titles, they would all be eligible for seats in the House of Lords. Property restrictions for elections would be relaxed, and invalid constituencies would be eliminated. This was an appeasement for Factory owners and bankers.

Similarly, the Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee will immediately draw its conclusions, the relevant legislation will be passed soon, and the minimum guarantee and working hours regulations will also be presented in the form of law in the near future.

The Poor Laws will be reformed according to the Church's demands, and the Three Great Churches will be allowed to send personnel into the military.

This is a huge concession.

This means that the Three Great Churches can support their members to enter the House of Lords through various means and gain more say.

While gaining political influence, they also gained the opportunity to intervene in military affairs.

Both Riedal and Anthony were taken aback by George III's concession.

They knew George III would have to make concessions, but they really didn't expect it to be such a big one.

Kronos, however, fell into deep thought.

This concession is the same as in the original story, but it may not actually have been made under duress by George III.

It may seem that the Three Great Churches came knocking on his door, but these concessions may have been something George III had already considered.

To become Black Emperor, simply building Pyramid is not enough; one also needs to establish a rigorous and complex set of Rules that defy normalcy.

Perhaps George III used this opportunity to rationalize and "force" the implementation of some abnormal Rules.
