Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't occur.

Even though Flora wasn't in good shape, she still successfully advanced.

Although there were some signs of her body Loss of Control, they were contained after her successful promotion and will not become more serious in the short term.

Even if Flora's Loss of Control had worsened, the current situation wouldn't have occurred.

It's not that it's Loss of Control, it's contamination, but it can also be contagious.

If Loss of Control were contagious, then there would be no Beyonder left in the world, because there would be far too many people who Loss of Control.

Furthermore, the appearance of insects on the body's surface is a clear indication that the Cowardly Trio Loss of Control, and should not be associated with Kronos in any way.

Therefore, Kronos did not Loss of Control; it was just that Flora's condition affected him.

This is a situation that shouldn't have happened, but it actually did.

Kronos had never experienced this before, and therefore did not know the specific reason.

However, Kronos was fairly certain of one thing: this situation was most likely related to his Beset by Misfortune.

There might be a chance that this situation will occur if Flora is made into Fallen Servant, but the chance is probably not high.

However, since Kronos is covered in debuffs, the probability of this happening is greatly increased, so some of Flora's negative effects appear on Kronos.

Because this was happening to him personally, Kronos was able to clearly sense the severity of the situation.

After all, this Loss of Control belongs to the Cowardly Trio. If Kronos belongs to these three families, this tendency to Loss of Control might directly trigger the unstable factors within him, causing Kronos to Loss of Control directly.

However, Kronos has no connection with the Cowardly Trio, so the situation is not as terrible as imagined.

Kronos even had the leisure to activate his Eyes of Mystery Prying and examine the insects on his body closely.

Anthony expressed his utter incomprehension of Kronos's leisurely pursuits.

He had witnessed Flora's Loss of Control firsthand, so his nerves tightened the moment the insects appeared on Kronos.

Flora, Loss of Control, is relatively easy to deal with because she is not particularly strong.

But if Kronos Loss of Control, then Anthony really can't think of a good way to deal with it.

Kronos was already very powerful, and with his "divine armor," Anthony would have no choice but to draw upon the Church's hidden treasure— the Angel of Concealment numbered 0-17—to defeat him.

As a result, Anthony saw Kronos observing the insects on his body with great interest, making him Consciousness that he had been nervous for nothing.

After careful observation, Kronos determined that the insects on his body had nothing to do with the insects of the Cowardly Trio; they were merely a manifestation of Loss of Control and could not be used to make Charm.

Indeed, the reason Kronos observed them so closely was to see if they could be used to make Charm.

Although he had not yet acquired Pallez's knowledge of Charm, Kronos believed that this knowledge would certainly require many raw materials.

Since obtaining his "Home", Kronos has never stopped the process of creating the three types of insects.

However, the time available was still rather short, and the creation of the insects also required a certain amount of time, so Kronos himself did not have that many insects.

Kronos had hoped to take advantage of the out -Loss of Control state, but he was greatly disappointed.

Since there were no more opportunities to exploit, Kronos naturally decided not to maintain the status quo.

Although Kronos did not possess Beyonder Item from the Sun Pathway, he still possessed the power of light.

Although he hadn't used this ability for a while, Kronos hadn't forgotten it.

So a faint white light emerged from Kronos's body; it was very gentle and wouldn't cause much harm.

However, this subtle Purification power is just enough to Purification away this rootless negative effect.

Anthony watched from the sidelines, quite surprised that Kronos himself possessed the power of the Sun Pathway.

As the Purification light faded, Kronos returned to normal.

After things returned to normal, Kronos thanked Anthony once again.

If Anthony hadn't been there to help him this time, he might have really messed up.

Anthony's reason for helping Kronos so much was because he had high hopes for Kronos ' future.

At such a young age, to have reached Sequence 3, it's uncertain how far they will go, but becoming Angel should be no problem.

Therefore, Kronos's subsequent status in the church is quite predictable.

Anthony also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to curry favor with a powerful figure.

Although he is not as old as Horamick, he is not young either, and it is unlikely that he can go any further on his own.

Regardless of whether Kronos can help me in the future, it's not too difficult to start dating him now.

Having achieved his goal, Kronos naturally prepared to leave.

As the two walked out of the room, they saw a figure at the door.

Lady. Arianna was actually waiting for them at the door.

After Arianna made the deal with Pallez, she went to the Divine Kingdom of Amanises and reported the details to the Evernight Goddess.

After receiving the goddess's reply, Arianna traveled to Backlund, bringing with her the reward from the Evernight Goddess.

After arriving at the Saint Samuel Cathedral following Kronos's location, He discovered what Kronos and Anthony were doing.

There was nothing dangerous in the room, so Arianna didn't rush in and disturb the important matters inside.

Kronos and Anthony were both focused on Flora, so they didn't notice what was happening outside the door.

Even if the two of them were focused on the situation outside the door, they would have a hard time spotting Arianna's whereabouts.

Arianna is, after all, Sequence Two Servant of Concealment, and her greatest power lies in secrecy.

Upon seeing Arianna, the two were startled and quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Arianna's personality was rather aloof, so after simply nodding in return, she said to Anthony, "I have something to discuss with him privately. You can go about your business."

Don't be fooled by the casual interactions between Kronos, Arianna, and Olmer; it's because Kronos has the confidence to back up his own relationships. It doesn't mean that all Angel can be so casual with those of lower rank than themselves.

So Anthony said directly, "Okay, I'll go right now."

After that, Anthony left without saying a word to Kronos.

Kronos asked Arianna, "Lady Arianna, has the deal with Pallez been finalized?"

Upon hearing Kronos's words, Arianna waved her right hand lightly, and a black mist enveloped Kronos and Arianna.

From a third-person perspective, Kronos and Arianna seem to have been erased, vanishing from their original spot.

This is the power of the Servant of Concealment, which completely concealed the two of them.

This was done primarily for the sake of secrecy.

The secrecy imposed by Arianna herself made it difficult even for Archangel to overhear a single word without exerting their full strength.

After the two were completely concealed, Arianna spoke up, "Pallez agreed to make a deal with us and also gave me the knowledge of Charm you needed."

After saying this, Arianna took out a booklet and handed it to Kronos.

As he handed it over, he said, "I've already checked this booklet and brought it into the Darkened Heaven, so you can rest assured that it doesn't contain any of Pallez's hidden tricks."

After hearing Arianna's words, Kronos accepted the item with relief.

No matter how secretive Pallez's methods were, they couldn't possibly escape Amanises's notice. Not even Amon could do that, let alone Him.

Therefore, after passing through the Darkened Heaven, this booklet is absolutely safe.

After taking the booklet, Kronos eagerly began to flip through it.

Although the booklet is not thick, it does contain a considerable number of methods for making Charm.

Many of the Charm in this collection are nearly lost to history.

These achievements were made during the most glorious days of the Cowardly Trio 'Beyonder period.

It's difficult to find Beyonder through these three Pathway now, but in the Fourth Epoch, they were the most powerful force in the world.

The Antigonus Family and the Abraham Family are recognized as top-tier powers, even comparable to the True God Churches.

As for the Error Pathway, there are slightly more families involved, divided into the Amon Family, the Jacob Family, and the Zoroast Family, but they are still a significant force on the entire continent.

During that period, these three Pathway developed to their fullest potential, which led to the creation of so many different methods for making Charm.

In this day and age, there are practically no survivors from that era, so apart from Pallez, very few people can actually offer this kind of knowledge.

Kronos glanced through them and found that most of them were High-Grade Charm from the Error Pathway, while those from the Fool Pathway and the Door Pathway were much fewer.

Kronos was quite satisfied with this situation.

The three types of insects created in the Home now have more uses.

Arianna did not interrupt Kronos while he was browsing through this knowledge. She only spoke after Kronos had roughly finished flipping through the book.

"You played a crucial role in facilitating the cooperation with Pallez; an Archangel's intervention is invaluable to the goddess and the church."

"Therefore, in addition to the High-Grade Charm knowledge you desired, the goddess has also given you a separate reward."

A helper of Pallez ' caliber is hard to find; he might even be able to outwit the True God at crucial moments. Therefore, this deal is very meaningful for Amanises.

Therefore, Amanises prepared a very "valuable" reward for Kronos.

Arianna took out a Wooden Box and handed it to Kronos.

Kronos was quite curious about the reward that Amanises had specifically offered, so he accepted it without hesitation.

Kronos gently opened the lid of the Wooden Box, and a blinding light shone out.

How bright was that light?

Kronos was so blinded by the light that he couldn't open his eyes, Arianna, being Angel of the Darkness Pathway, also squinted.

Most absurdly, the light nearly destroyed the stealth effect Arianna had applied.

Arianna reacted quickly and did her best to maintain her stealth, thus avoiding being pierced by the light.

As long as the lid of the Wooden Box remains open, the light will continue to shine, making it impossible for Kronos to see Wooden Box is inside.

Having no other option, Kronos had to put the lid of the Wooden Box back on.

As the lid of the Wooden Box closed, the glaring light naturally disappeared.

Only then was Kronos able to open his eyes.

He looked at Arianna and asked, "What is this thing? I can't even look at it!"

Arianna said, "This is the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact with the fewest negative effects among those collected by the Church."

Its number is 0-71, and its name is the Never-Extinguishing Sun.

"Its Beyonder Ability are more of a support function; as long as you hold it in your hand and let its light shine through, all negative effects will be completely neutralized."

"This ability is not limited to ordinary Beyonder Ability and Curse; it can even effectively suppress some difficult-to-remove contaminations and mild cases of Loss of Control."

"And you've seen its negative effects too; it's like a Micro Sun, and looking directly at its light is the same as looking directly at the Sun."

"If you hold it in your hand, you will feel intense heat, but holding it for three to five seconds shouldn't have any serious consequences for you."

"When not in use, simply store it in an opaque container; its high temperature will not damage these containers."

It sounds like a great product, but the light is too blinding.

This was the first time Kronos had encountered such a situation, so his eyes were not yet adapted to the bright light.

Now that this Sealed Artifact belongs to me, I just need to adapt to it more in the days to come, and I'll be able to fully adapt to it soon.

Kronos didn't demand that he be able to look directly at the Never-Extinguishing Sun, but he couldn't possibly be unable to open his eyes every time he faced that intense light.

If it's always like this, how can he hold onto it?

Seeing that Kronos seemed about to open the Wooden Box again to experience the intense light, Arianna quickly spoke up, drawing Kronos's attention.

"Pallez requested to see you, and the goddess has sent me to inquire about your thoughts."
