The Numinous Episcopate
If Kronos can thoroughly Analysis the power before him, he will be able to transform all forms of power, including attacks and Ritual, into knowledge that he can control.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as Kronos can thoroughly study all the attack capabilities of the Twenty-Two Gods Pathway, then no one in this world can harm him.
However, this is only in theory; it would be too difficult to actually accomplish.
Even with the Blasphemy Slate, Kronos only managed to Analysis a fraction of their contents.
To truly master all knowledge, one would need to capture at least twenty-two Archangel to have a chance of doing so.
After the Ritual before Kronos was transformed into knowledge, Kronos gently beckoned, and all this Information knowledge flew into his palm.
Kronos had already Analysis all this knowledge, so it was of little use to him.
Kronos waved his hand to dispel the Information, then reached out and picked up the Sealed Artifact that held the final seal of the Dice of Probability.
This is not an Beyonder Item from the Death Pathway, but Door Pathway.
Although only the Death Pathway possesses the ability to seal, the Door Pathway is more adept at isolating the Spirit World and the Astral World.
After Kronos removed the Sealed Artifact, the box containing the Dice of Probability was revealed underneath.
Kronos gently picked up the box and then opened the lid.
The Dice of Probability in the box was spinning in place.
When it is in a sealed state, the Dice of Probability is actually in a state where one corner is on the ground and the whole thing is still.
As long as it doesn't reveal its value, there will be no bad luck or good luck.
It's easy to understand why people want to avoid bad luck; after all, nobody wants such a thing to happen.
As for avoiding good fortune, it's because they fear that Beyonder with other Wheel of Fortune Pathway might follow the trail and find their way here.
Unusual luck is bound to attract attention, so it's best to leave it in a state of uncertainty.
Now that the seal has been completely lifted, the Dice of Probability will naturally begin to be used for judgment.
Kronos didn't try to stop it; instead, he just watched what number the Dice of Probability would give him.
After spinning for a while, the die finally stopped rolling.
But after stopping, Kronos saw a large "dot".
Am I really that unlucky? I got a whole point!
But before Kronos could finish thinking about it, it was as if a mysterious hand had appeared and gently pushed the dice, causing them to flip and roll to five.
This situation truly astonished Kronos.
Can you really push a die that's already been set?
Kronos stretched out his finger and gently pushed the dice in the box, but he couldn't budge them at all.
Even though Kronos wasn't using his full strength, he could sense that the dice were something he couldn't interfere with at all.
If a die cannot be moved by itself, but is affected by an external force, then there is only one possible outcome.
He assigned himself a score, but the luck around him changed, and therefore, his score changed as well.
The only Pathway capable of accomplishing this is Fate itself, which is revered by all Beyonder.
Since Kronos could not see the existence of Fate, he bowed slightly towards the void and then closed the box.
Just as Kronos turned to leave the room, he heard a voice outside.
"Member of Parliament, the Numinous Episcopate has sent people again, urging us to form an alliance with them to deal with the Rose School."
Then the elderly Member of Parliament sighed and said, "Alright, I understand."
At this moment, Kronos had already stepped out the door and spoke directly, "Don't you have a grudge against the Rose School? Why are you still acting this way even with the Numinous Episcopate leading the charge?"
Seeing Kronos walk out the door, the Member of Parliament said, "You don't understand. For our Pathway, hatred doesn't have that much of an impact. It's the Numinous Episcopate that's worrying me; they want to completely absorb us."
Indeed, for those whose Wheel of Fortune Pathway Beyonder, everything they experience at this moment is a manifestation of Fate, so a single act of hatred is not worth sacrificing their subsequent freedom for revenge.
Kronos chuckled and said, "It's simple. As long as Will is willing to owe me a favor, I'm willing to go to the Numinous Episcopate with you."
"If Xiya has any other ideas, I can help you block them, at least so you won't be at someone's mercy on the spot. What do you think?"
Kronos, of course, wasn't so kind; he still wanted to help the School of Life.
His main purpose was actually just one thing: to get revenge on Xiya.
He and Mr. Azik stormed the Numinous Episcopate' stronghold. Although they didn't suffer a complete defeat, they were indeed no match for Xiya.
Now that I have this opportunity to join Numinous Episcopate with the School of Life, isn't this a great chance to regain my pride?
These three Member of Parliament naturally have no say in such matters; only Will can make the decision.
Will's gaze never left this spot, because he was also afraid that Kronos would cause trouble here.
Therefore, Will responded immediately after Kronos made the suggestion.
After receiving Will's response, the Member of Parliament said to Kronos, "The Speaker has agreed to your proposal to resolve this matter; he owes you a favor."
Kronos smiled. He could get revenge and also gain Will Onsett's favor. It was definitely a worthwhile deal.
Two days later, in that eerie forest, before that pitch-black Tomb, a group of people arrived. They were from the School of Life, and Kronos was among them.
This alliance is not just between the Numinous Episcopate and the School of Life; it also includes other Secret Organizations and many smaller groups. At least, Kronos saw the Iron and Blood Cross Order.
The Numinous Episcopate seemed determined to completely eradicate the Rose School.
Kronos still had some doubts about this situation.
This plot point doesn't seem to be in the original work.
Because by the end of the original novel, the plot had already focused on Klein himself, and there was no further introduction to the events in the Southern Continent.
Perhaps this situation did exist, but it wasn't explained in detail.
However, this situation is not bad either, since the Rose School was controlled by the Outer Deity, and eliminating them is not a bad thing.
After all the members of the alliance had arrived, a Sequence 3 member of the Order of the Numinous Episcopate stepped forward and began to preside over the alliance Ritual.
Kronos looked at the man and felt he looked familiar, because he had seen him before; he was a member of the Royalist Faction.
This person spoke for a long time, constantly recounting the impact of the Rose School on the world.
This person is indeed very long-winded, but those below him dare not speak out against him.
Everyone suspected that this was a plan by the Numinous Episcopate.
By provoking these allied organizations in various ways, as long as someone can't take it anymore, there's no need to take action; just a few words of disrespect are enough for the Numinous Episcopate to have a suitable excuse.
At that point, whether we wipe out the organization outright or extort a large sum of compensation, we'll have a legitimate reason to act.
Finally, someone spoke up.
"Sir, since this is an alliance, why not bring out the Pale Empress? We wouldn't be here if we didn't know the harm the Rose School could cause."
The speaker's name is Tony Downs, and he is the vice President of the Iron and Blood Cross Order.
This person was inherently arrogant and unruly, and since they believed in the True Creator, they weren't so afraid of the Numinous Episcopate.
That's why he said that.
Upon hearing Tony's words, the member of the Numinous Episcopate did not hesitate and said directly, "Alright, then let's invite our Numinous Episcopate to say a few words."
After saying this, he stepped aside and waited for the leader to appear.
A short while later, a familiar figure of Kronos appeared in the center of the arena.
However, this figure wasn't Xiya, but Mr. Azik!
In fact, long before the war began, Mr. Azik had already completed the fusion of his soul in the Darkened Heaven.
Afterwards, Amanises sent him to the Southern Continent, where the Church of Evernight helped him compete with Xiya for the position of leader.
At first, Mr. Azik kept a low profile, quietly eroding the power of the Numinous Episcopate.
He cultivated relationships with some veteran members of the Royalist Faction and also befriended members of the Artificial God of Death Faction, all in an attempt to diminish Xiya's power.
Later, through the introduction of members of the Artificial God of Death Faction, Mr. Azik met Haiter in the Tomb.
For Haiter, this was the perfect "crown prince" in his heart, just like how Zhu Yuanzhang's ministers felt about Zhu Biao. Therefore, the old minister bowed down in reverence.
When Azik emerged from the Tomb, he had already received the support of the entire Artificial God of Death Faction.
As for the Artificial God of Death, it's nothing more than a small comfort to them.
Haiter has gone to such lengths for this plan; the chances of its success are extremely low.
The reason the Artificial God of Death Faction still uses this name is simply to fight against Xiya.
Now that the perfect prince has appeared, the Artificial God of Death is naturally no longer important.
With the support of the Artificial God of Death Faction, and the natural allies brought by Mr. Azik's identity, his power surpassed that of Xiya in one fell swoop.
Thus, taking advantage of the chaos of war in the Northern Continent, Mr. Azik launched a coup.
Mr. Azik, restored to his prime, held his own against Xiya with his Sequence Two power. With the added support of Amanises, the coup was a resounding success.
Xiya ultimately died at Azik's hands, granting Azik the Beyonder Characteristic of the Pale Emperor.
In the time that followed, Mr. Azik spent his time either taking over the entire power of the Numinous Episcopate or preparing for his own Advancement Ritual.
Finally, more than half a month ago, he successfully advanced to Sequence One.
Only then did the Numinous Episcopate prepare to make this Message public.
After all, if an organization loses its strongest member, there will always be some turmoil.
Although you say that Sequence Two is in no way weaker than Sequence One, people who haven't seen it with their own eyes will definitely not believe it. At that time, many organizations will provoke them and try to take a bite out of the Numinous Episcopate.
Therefore, it would be better to wait until everything has settled down and the promotion is fully completed before announcing it to the public.
This alliance conference was held for this very purpose.
"Who is this? Where is Xiya? What does your Numinous Episcopate mean by this?" Tony shouted again.
To be honest, everyone is forming alliances, but it's somewhat inappropriate that the leader of the Numinous Episcopate hasn't shown up.
Just then, Haiter appeared beside Azik and said, "This is our new leader Numinous Episcopate."
"His name is Azik Eggers, the son of His Majesty the Death Consul, the Death Consul of the Balam Empire, and he has recently returned to my Numinous Episcopate."
No one else could be as convincing as Heitel saying this; it had to be Haiter himself.
Therefore, Azik was using his Death Authority to suppress Haiter's negative state as much as possible, which allowed him to leave the Tomb.
Haiter's words caused an uproar among the crowd.
The son of the Death Consul, and the Death Consul of the Balam Empire —what an impressive title!
Without even thinking about it, as long as this Message gets out, the influence of the Numinous Episcopate will expand significantly.
Even now, there are still countless people across the Southern Continent who worship the Death Consul. Mr. Azik's appearance will definitely turn these people into loyal followers of the Numinous Episcopate.
However, this Message simply cannot be blocked, nor do they have the ability to do so, so they can only accept it calmly.
He felt somewhat disappointed with Kronos, however.
It turns out Mr. Azik had already avenged himself; I was several steps too late.
But it doesn't matter, as long as I got my revenge.
Now that Mr. Azik is in charge of the Numinous Episcopate, Will has essentially secured his favor.
If it is Mr. Azik, then the Numinous Episcopate most likely has no intention of annexing the School of Life.
Any organization that harbors this idea does so because of Will's disappearance.
But Mr. Azik has Amanises behind him, so he couldn't possibly not know that Will is currently staying safely in Backlund.
If they manage to swallow up the School of Life while he's rebooting, then they'll have to face the wrath of an Archangel.
From Mr. Azik to everyone in the Numinous Episcopate, no one could withstand such retribution.
Once you understand this, you'll know that the School of Life is safe.
