Kohler's Counterattack

Kohler probably already understood what had happened by now.

Isn't this the last person to attempt to ascend to the Ghost Empire?

He originally intended to use this person as a springboard to completely leave the Ghost Empire, this "prison," but he never expected it to end like this.

This person actually attracted Olmer, completely ruining all his plans.

It was also because he wasn't careful enough and didn't thoroughly investigate Kronos's background.

Captain of the Guards Kaust noticed it, Ghost Empire itself noticed it, but he didn't notice the aura emanating from Olnia on Kronos.

It was because he had been trapped here for so long that even though he had retained his Mind, he had ultimately gone mad.

Kohler lay on the ground, dejected, and said, "You're amazing. I never expected you to be able to Advancing to Angel in such a short time. I admit defeat, do with me as you please."

Kronos had already heard from Olmer about Kohler's original plan, a man whose intentions were utterly despicable, but Kronos felt no ill will towards him.

Firstly, because these things haven't actually happened, there aren't any direct emotional responses.

Secondly, because in this world, everyone is always calculating against each other, and it's understandable that someone might be calculating against someone else.

Since Kohler is already lying here, completely at their mercy, what is there for Kronos to be angry about?

Kronos was somewhat surprised to see Kohler being so sensible.

Logically speaking, someone who has gone mad shouldn't calmly admit defeat.

In the mind of Lunatic, there is no concept of losing.

If it really comes to that, they might even die alongside their enemies.

But when Kronos looked at Kohler lying on the ground, it seemed that this person truly had no intention of resisting at all.

Under these circumstances of non-resistance, the success rate of creating Fallen Servant is the highest, so no matter what plan Kohler had in mind, Kronos intended to give it a try.

So the Fallen Domain, which had been holding on, slowly spread toward Kohler.

Just as the Fallen Domain wrapped around Kohler's legs, Kohler revealed a strange smile from a perspective unseen by Kronos.

As the Fallen Domain continued to spread upwards, its speed increased dramatically.

Although Kohler was pinned to the ground by Kronos's manipulation of gravity, Kohler body actually possessed the ability to resist.

Because the ability to act freely and the ability to resist invasion by external forces are not the same system.

However, Kohler seemed to have no intention of resisting at all, and was constantly accepting the erosion of the Fallen Domain, which made the erosion faster and faster.

Kronos remained cautious despite the strange situation, always prepared to deal with any unexpected events.

Kohler is really acting strangely; what kind of enemy would cooperate so readily?

Once the Fallen Domain Fallen Domain has encompassed Kohler's entire body, it will begin its deep erosion.

Kronos was on high alert, because he had a premonition that Kohler's underhanded tactics would be exposed at this moment.

If Kohler does not resist the deep corruption, he will become a complete Fallen Servant and lose all his chances.

Kronos's intuition was quite accurate; since the Fallen Domain had completely enveloped Kohler, he could easily read Kohler facial expressions.

Therefore, Kronos clearly sensed that Kohler was giving a strange smile, which is why he didn't miss it due to the angle.

He could only sense a strange smile but couldn't figure out what the man was up to, so Kronos could only continue to wait.

As they ventured deeper into the Fallen Domain, suddenly, the Corruption power felt as if it had been electrocuted, as if facing a natural enemy, and was unable to continue.

It should be understood that the Authority of Corruption is arguably the most supreme of the twenty-two Paths of the Divine.

Even the Sun's Purification power isn't that strong in restraining it.

As one of the two contingency plans left to him by the Ancient Sun God, the power of the Visionary Pathway has been fully demonstrated in Adam's hands.

As for the Hanged Man Pathway, it's certainly not bad either.

Therefore, how can the power of Corruption have a natural enemy?

Kronos, with a hint of curiosity, investigated for a while, then thought to himself, "Kohler is indeed a ruthless person."

Kohler had allowed the pollution from the Nation of Disorder to grow stronger within him, even affecting the extraordinary power within him.

Judging from the scale of this expansion, it certainly didn't happen in just a few tens of minutes, but rather over a period of time.

It seems that Kohler originally intended to use this method to help herself escape the seal of the Coffin of Death.

After the source of contamination Hand of Order Beyonder Characteristic, left the Ghost Empire, the contamination on the ship gradually decreased until it was no longer noticeable.

That's why Kronos forgot about it.

As one of the most heavily polluted individuals, Kohler already possessed the highest concentration of contamination within her body.

Later, he forcibly devoured so many people, and the pollution in his body naturally increased day by day.

In order to live longer, Kohler would certainly not allow pollution to continue to develop, so he has been fighting against pollution for thousands of years.

However, after his plan fell apart, he couldn't even leave the Coffin of Death, let alone the Ghost Empire. Therefore, he could only deal with the immediate problem first.

Therefore, he chose to let the pollution develop unchecked, waiting until it progressed further before attempting to use its power to erode the Coffin of Death and see if the seal could be broken.

If someone is a normal person, even the slightest pollution in their body would make it difficult for them to live a normal life.

However, Kohler itself was modified by pollution, so it naturally has a higher tolerance for it.

Before Kohler's plan could even be implemented, he was released from the Coffin of Death.

Kohler, who was initially overjoyed and thought he would no longer have to play with fire, fell into the hands of Kronos once again.

Kohler was an old hand; he saw Kronos abandon Qonas and immediately understood what Kronos was up to.

As a nobleman of the Trunsoest Empire, he had clashed many times with the Solomon Empire and the followers of the True Creator.

Therefore, he naturally recognized such obvious Grazing ability.

He then realized that Kronos intended to put him to Grazing as well.

Kohler didn't even entertain the thought of rebelling against Kronos's ideas.

No one understands the Angel level better than him; it's a qualitative leap, so it's practically impossible for Sequence 3 character to defeat or get rid of an Angel.

Therefore, Kohler chose to accept Kronos's idea entirely.

However, he wanted to plant a time bomb for Kronos.

Therefore, Kohler quietly began to allow pollution to continue to develop at a pace faster than that of Coffin of Death.

Because Kohler understood that he had no chance of continuing to live, he might as well use his own life to launch a counterattack against Kronos.

The Nation of Disorder is Sefirah, a level higher than authority; therefore, it is normal that the power of Corruption and fear comes from the pollution of the Nation of Disorder.

Even Kronos himself hesitated about whether to continue.

When he Grazing Flora last time, Kronos learned very clearly that the state of being Fallen Servant could potentially affect him as well.

Although the possibility is not that high, it happened last time because I was really unlucky.

But looking at Kohler and then at Captain of the Guards Kaust, one can see how terrible the pollution of the Nation of Disorder is. Unless absolutely necessary, Kronos still doesn't want to have even the slightest chance of getting involved.

Just as Kronos was considering giving up, someone suddenly appeared beside him.

While he was pondering, someone suddenly appeared beside him. Without hesitation, Kronos unleashed a "Almighty Push".

Before the figure could even regain its footing, it was thrown away.

Only then did Kronos realize that the person who had suddenly appeared was none other than Grand Duke Olmer, who had just left.

Olmer instantly spread his Wings, and with his excellent combat experience and the innate advantage of his Wings, he barely managed to stabilize himself.

At this point, Kronos had already withdrawn his power.

After Olmer returned to Kronos's side, Kronos spoke first, saying, "I'm sorry, I overreacted just now."

Olmer waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Actually, it's my fault. I forgot to finish what I was saying, which caused the misunderstanding."

Olmer originally had another purpose for coming to the Ghost Empire, but because it had been a while, he had forgotten about it and had to turn back at the last minute.

Kronos asked, "What is it?"

Olmer looked at Kohler, who was wrapped up in a ball, and asked, "Are you planning to let him Grazing?"

If Kohler could see it, Olmer certainly couldn't miss it either.

Kronos nodded.

Olmer continued, "Have you encountered some serious pollution?"

Kronos didn't hide anything and recounted everything he had seen.

Olmer chuckled and said, "As expected of Hunter Pathway. If you hadn't taken over the Ghost Empire so quickly, he might actually have succeeded."

He continued, "After the contamination by the Hand of Order nearly killed the three of us, we started studying how to deal with this situation."

"So far, we've come up with a few solutions, but we don't know if they'll work, so we're planning to try them out on Kohler."

"I forgot about it, that's why I came back."

During this period, the Sanguine had only two important tasks: to help Queen Olnia Resurrection and to help His Highness Trunsoest Resurrection.

If these two are Resurrection, the Sanguine will instantly become one of the most powerful forces, so they are naturally very concerned about it.

Olnia's arrangements were all within the Underworld, and they couldn't help her with those, so they focused more on the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order.

Therefore, they have been studying the pollution situation mentioned above for a long time.

However, there was no opportunity for actual combat, because when the situation was uncertain, they dared not use it directly after Trunsoest's Resurrection.

Kohler would be a great choice.

After hearing Olmer's words, Kronos was slightly happier. If Olmer's method worked, then Kohler's pollution wouldn't be a problem.

Therefore, Kronos said directly, "Kohler, you can experiment as you please, but if the method works, please also help me deal with the Ghost Empire."

Kohler's experience made Kronos realize something: the pollution seemed to have disappeared, but in reality, it had only hidden deeper and hadn't vanished.

It's better to deal with it thoroughly.

Olmer had no reason to refuse Kronos's request.

Seeing that Olmer had agreed, under Kronos's control, the Fallen Domain gradually withdrew from Kohler's body.

With the withdrawal from the Fallen Domain, Kohler regained his normal mobility.

The first thing he did was laugh arrogantly.

"Hahaha, trash. You wouldn't dare to take a single blow from me. You're not even worthy of being my opponent."

"If you can't even gamble once, do you even deserve to be called Angel?"

Before he could finish speaking, a white force sealed his mouth shut; the one who made the move was none other than Olmer.

Olmer said, sounding a bit annoyed, "You think you're qualified to say that?"

"Of all the empires back then, you were the most timid and hesitant. I suspect His Majesty Trunsoest placed you here precisely because he feared you would desert in the face of battle and jeopardize the overall situation."

It was only then that Kohler noticed Olmer; he hadn't expected there to be someone who knew his background.

But Kohler's skin had thickened to a certain extent, and he didn't really care that Olmer was revealing his secrets.

After saying that, Olmer picked up Kohler and left through the Spirit World.

Olmer made no effort to conceal his presence, so Kronos was able to easily follow him.

The two arrived at an Island, and according to Olmer, too many sources of interference in the surrounding area could also affect the results.

The Ghost Empire has been corrupted and eroded for too many years, and too many changes have occurred within it, so it's better to find a quiet place.

Kronos naturally agreed with this statement, because it made sense.

After explaining, Olmer began preparing the method developed by the Sanguine.

The so-called method involves combining Ritual Magic with Beyonder Item to see which method is more effective.

As an expert in Ritual, Kronos came along naturally because he wanted to learn more.

Even experts in the field of mysticism through the Hermit Pathway cannot compare to the profound knowledge and heritage of Kronos and the Sanguine, whose history spans several centuries.

So there are just how many obscure facts about Sanguine no one knows, which is why Kronos wants to learn them.
