Azik's Final Decision

At this moment, Xiya's heart was filled with murderous intent.

He finally gained the support of all the Royalist Faction members of the Numinous Episcopate and became the leader of the Royalist Faction.

With the support of the Royalist Faction, they finally had the opportunity to seize the only Beyonder Characteristic of the Pale Emperor within the Numinous Episcopate.

They had finally waited for Haiter to get into trouble, and then seized all the power in the Numinous Episcopate.

Finally, an anomaly occurred in the Death God's Tomb, giving them the opportunity to ascend to the position of King of Angel.

He certainly couldn't allow this sudden appearance to disrupt everything.

So Xiya really wanted to take action and finish off the two people in front of her.

He could sense that neither Azik nor Kronos, whom Azik brought, were Angel of Sequence Two.

If Xiya goes all out, there's a good chance she can finish them off in a short time.

Even though she had these thoughts in her mind, Xiya suppressed her impulse for the time being and did not make a move.

If He is the leader of the Artificial God of Death Faction, He can legitimately disrespect Azik, because His faith should be in the Death God, and no one but the Death God is worthy of His respect.

But He happens to be a member of the Royalist Faction.

The Royalist Faction places the utmost importance on the bloodline of the Eggers Family, which is why Xiya, who possesses the bloodline of the Eggers Family, receives the greatest possible nurturing.

Previously, Xiya had been enjoying the advantages of the Royalist Faction, but now the drawbacks of the Royalist Faction are emerging.

When facing other members of the Royalist Faction, Xiya's talent is enough to make up for all her shortcomings.

However, this tactic proved completely ineffective against Mr. Azik.

If Xiya dares to make a move at this moment, the Royalist Faction's trust and support for Him will be completely destroyed.

Even if Xiya is an Archangel with the ability to suppress all dissenting voices, maintaining a power is not based on force alone.

So, Xiya could only suppress her murderous intent and say, "Your His Highness Azik, we have been searching for His Majesty Salinger's Tomb, but we haven't found it yet."

After Xiya said this, the mainstays of the Royalist Faction behind her hesitated.

Deceiving Mr. Azik is something they don't want to do.

However, they ultimately did not choose to contradict their leader's words.

The Royalist Faction still respected the Majesty of their leader, but the Artificial God of Death Faction was not so concerned.

One person stepped forward, barking directly in the face. "You dare call yourselves the Royalist Faction?"

"You just stand by and watch Him deceive His Highness Azik? Do you even deserve the name Eggers? You just deceive your own ancestors like this?"

Those who are here are the backbone of the Numinous Episcopate, and each of them is quite experienced.

That's the kind of person I am. If someone were to physically assault me over something else, it might not be a big deal.

But when it came to the surname Eggers, they really blushed.

Xiya never expected the Artificial God of Death Faction to betray her so suddenly.

In Xiya's opinion, the Artificial God of Death Faction should be even less inclined to want Azik to find the Death God's Tomb.

The Artificial God of Death is in the Death God's Tomb. If Azik goes inside, wouldn't their faith simply vanish?

Little did Xiya know that the Artificial God of Death was, in essence, a trap for Azik.

Haiter survived the era of the War of the Four Emperors and the Pale Catastrophe, when he was the High Priest of the Death God Church.

Therefore, He still had some guesses about some of Salinger's methods.

Otherwise, how could an Angel has lived for so long not know the drawbacks of Uniqueness activation?

With such an obvious example as the Hidden Sage right there, who would dare to try it?

Therefore, Haiter was merely adding icing on the cake to Salinger's plan based on his own conjecture.

Therefore, Haiter had spoken to the Artificial God of Death Faction a long time ago.

For the Artificial God of Death Project to truly succeed, it must have the help of the purest bloodline of the Death God.

Once such a person is born, their Artificial God of Death Project will be a complete success.

Therefore, the members of the Artificial God of Death Faction were overjoyed the moment they saw Mr. Azik appear.

Their plan is about to succeed; the Artificial God of Death will be fully born.

At that time, the Numinous Episcopate will be able to completely merge with the Death God Church, and perhaps they will also be able to become members of the True God Churches that walks openly in the world.

Therefore, this member of the Artificial God of Death Faction unleashed his ultimate attack at close range at this moment.

Xiya couldn't attack Mr. Azik at this moment, but killing a member of the Numinous Episcopate to vent her anger wouldn't be a problem.

Therefore, in a fit of rage, Xiya attacked, unleashing a jet-black strike directly at the member of the Artificial God of Death Faction.

No one expected that Xiya would actually take action; even the Royalist Faction felt that she had acted too impulsively.

This person was merely a Sequence 4 Undying; how could he possibly evade the Archangel's attack? So, he was basically just waiting to die.

Just then, as if propelled by some unknown force, the attack brushed past its target and landed on the ground beside him.

Under the influence of this force, the earth turned pitch black, completely devoid of any life; for at least a thousand years, no life will be born here.

After her attack missed, Xiya quickly turned her head and glared angrily at Kronos.

She could naturally sense that this person was influencing her attack.

Knowledge Mentor controls force, but actually, it controls force in the physical world.

However, inspired by Randolph's training in the Decomposition Power, Kronos also kept trying to gradually introduce the control of this power into the realm of the extraordinary.

It wasn't that simple. If Kronos hadn't had some understanding of the Death Pathway, this traction wouldn't have been so easy to succeed.

After all, the Death God Mask was one of the first high-level Beyonder Item he acquired, and it contained Gregrace's blood, making it even more sensitive.

Xiya glared angrily at Kronos, but inwardly she was overjoyed.

As someone brought by Mr. Azik, how could Xiya possibly attack him without a proper reason?

Now that Kronos has blocked Xiya's attack, it gives Xiya a reason to act.

Although the reason was incredibly far-fetched, Xiya believed that the Numinous Episcopate would give her face and not be so harsh.

So Xiya shouted, "I respect you as Servants brought by His Highness Azik, which is why I allowed you to be present and listen to the internal affairs of the Numinous Episcopate."

"I never expected you to be so ungrateful, daring to interfere in the internal affairs of my Numinous Episcopate. I will teach you a lesson on behalf of His Highness Azik."

Even the most foolish person wouldn't believe that Mr. Azik could have an Angel Servants.

Xiya said this to provoke Kronos.

If Kronos goes all out, Xiya will have to fight back with all her might. If she can't stop herself from doing so, then it's not Xiya's fault.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiya, imbued with the power of a dense Death Authority, charged towards Kronos.

Facing Archangel unleashing his full power for the first time, Kronos naturally wouldn't be careless.

A Blood Red Cloak appeared directly behind Kronos, and then a Bloodlight Shield enveloped Kronos.

This is Kronos's spoils from the Betting Duel, Bloodlight Protection.

Adam was very generous and did not choose to take back this extraordinary Angel Beyonder Item.

The Bloodlight Shield's defensive power is quite good among Angel- level beings. Although it's unlikely to defend against Archangel's full-force attack, Xiya's first attack certainly wasn't a full-force attack.

The black power impacted the blood- Bloodlight Shield Bloodlight Shield, putting immense pressure on it. Kronos could even feel the Bloodlight Shield cracking continuously.

Unable to rely entirely on the Bloodlight Shield for defense, a pair of black Wings unfolded behind Kronos, and beneath the blood-red Cloak, a flash of Green Light also silently appeared.

Kronos possessed only a few extraordinary Angel Beyonder Item: the Dark Angel's Wings, the Bloodlight Protection, the Gift of Life, the Never-Extinguishing Sun, and the Concealment Scarf.

At that moment, Kronos activated three items directly.

If possible, Kronos would prefer to use them all.

But the Never-Extinguishing Sun and the Concealment Scarf offer no help in the current situation.

The moment the Dark Angel's Wings unfurled, a spear formed of Lightning appeared in Kronos's hand, which he hurled at Xiya without hesitation.

The power of Lightning was ultimately overwhelming, so Xiya didn't want to take the blow head-on and eventually dodged it.

Now that Xiya has dodged, her attacks have naturally slowed down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kronos unleashed a chaos, dispelling the power of these attacks.

Qonas, Dark Angel's Wings, is only a Sequence 4 member, so Kronos hasn't used his power for a long time.

This use is also because these powers of death are nothing but powerless forces.

After dispelling the power of death, Kronos quickly Restoration the Bloodlight Shield.

Although its defenses are quite weak in front of Xiya, it can still provide a considerable buffer.

The source of power for the Bloodlight Shield is blood. The Bloodlight Protection has two abilities, the second being Blood Theft, which involves taking the blood of enemies to strengthen the Bloodlight Shield.

Before the Blood Theft Initiation is activated, the Bloodlight Shield is supported by one's own blood.

Kronos's blood was continuously being infused into the Bloodlight Protection, but Kronos's condition remained normal.

The main reason was that the Gift of Life was at work; it was quietly absorbing Xiya's Life Force to nourish Kronos, which prevented the blood loss from having any negative effects.

After Xiya dodged, she was about to launch another attack, but a figure suddenly appeared between Xiya and Kronos.

"Xiya, are you treating me like I don't exist?"

Mr. Azik's sudden outburst of anger filled Xiya with a sense of dread.

Logically speaking, since Xiya is Sequence One, her rank should be higher than Mr. Azik's, so how could she be suppressed by Mr. Azik?

But Mr. Azik was Ancestor of the Eggers Family.

If it were another family, there certainly wouldn't be this kind of impact.

However, the Eggers Family is the family that controls the Death Pathway, and Salinger is the source of the family and the Pathway.

Therefore, the power of the Death Pathway has been engraved in Salinger's bloodline.

As a descendant of Salinger, Mr. Azik is naturally the highest-ranking one.

Therefore, Xiya was still suppressed in front of Mr. Azik.

Of course, this suppression is only an influence; it hasn't reached the point where we're powerless to act and at the mercy of others.

So Xiya took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then said, "Your His Highness Azik, I respect you because you are my Ancestor."

"But if a mere Servants like you dares to interfere in the affairs of our Numinous Episcopate, it would be a disgrace to our Numinous Episcopate if I didn't intervene."

Mr. Azik looked at Xiya coldly and said, "As the leader of the Numinous Episcopate, your petty schemes are utterly beneath your dignity."

"Your abilities are decent, but if you want to lead a large force, strength alone is not enough."

"Pale Emperor, the power of death is important, but the emperor is equally important. How can one be called an emperor if one is not domineering enough?"

"If you want to kill me, do it openly and honestly. Don't try to play those stupid tricks."

Mr. Azik actually didn't want to take action against his juniors.

However, after seeing Xiya's performance, he was still somewhat disappointed.

Xiya was promoted because of her talent.

She had never learned how to be the leader of a power, nor did she understand the true nature of the Pale Emperor.

If such Numinous Episcopate were to clash with Amanises, becoming a tool in Amanises hands would be the best outcome; they might even become Cannon Fodder for the Church of Evernight.

Out of pity for these family descendants and the deceased believers, Mr. Azik finally made up his mind to take over the Numinous Episcopate.

After hearing Mr. Azik's words, the members of the Numinous Episcopate behind him seemed to be deep in thought.

In this world, the Numinous Episcopate is arguably the most powerful Secret Organizations.

Although the Aurora Order had a god, he was insane and ended up completely ruining the Aurora Order.

Primordial Demoness resided in the starry sky, it was naturally impossible for Sequence One to emerge from within the Demoness Sect.

The Hidden Sage of the Moses Ascetic Order are completely out of control, and the Angel are also in a state of semi- Loss of Control.

Will, a member of the School of Life, has been hunted down for years.

That leaves the Rose School and the Twilight Hermit Order.

The Rose School is an organization of Outer Deity, and therefore an enemy of the people, while the Twilight Hermit Order rarely show their faces in public.

Despite these circumstances, the Numinous Episcopate still fared very poorly.

They harbored the idea of restoring their kingdom, but they couldn't control even the indigenous organizations on the Southern Continent.

An organization of Archangel and two Angel eventually strayed onto the path of an evil god organization, even engaging in blood sacrifices for no reason.

Why is that?
