Chapter 70

"I guess so." Negri sat on his throne, watching Nala's performance in battle for the first time and commented on Negri.

Regardless of what happened, Nala's performance in battle had won the hearts of a few people. With Rhys' help, this patchwork army of reinforcements had finally gained some cohesion.

"Nala will have to rely on herself, I've already provided her with enough help" Negri squinted his eyes and asked Sieh Mother-In-Law: "Sieh Mother-In-Law, did you see those people?"

"Those people who came with ill intentions!" Negri asked.

"Lord Negary, I've already seen through their intentions" Nangong Wuque was still a bit hesitant. Sieh Mother-In-Law smirked strangely: "They are a force called Hales, meaning return, and have been hiding from the Church of Divine Grace's Heresy Court for years"

"And their belief is that humans should shed the ashes of their bodies and return to their original divinity" Sieh Mother-In-Law continued: "The white light cut open the Black Abyss of the Divine Realm, a corner of the Black Abyss fell downwards, the light shone upon the true appearance of the God within the Black Abyss. The originally invisible and unfathomable God was now visible under the light, but the flames brought by the white light burned the God, burning away the power of God, obscuring his original appearance, causing the God to fall to the level of a human"

"For that reason, in order to reverse the fall and ascend to become God, one must shed the ashes, extinguish the flames, dispel the light, and return the world to the Black Abyss. Only then would they be able to return to the invisible, unspeakable, unfathomable, and unreasonable faceless God!"

"That explanation … is quite interesting" Negri smiled and said.

"Indeed, the reason why they sought you, sir, was most likely because they wanted to obtain sir Negri's power" Sieh Mother-In-Law continued: "Regardless of whether Hales' theory of God is correct or not, one thing is certain"

"The order of this world is brought by light. Light is its skeleton, fire is its flesh and blood."

"And in order to achieve their dream of returning to the original appearance of God, they must dispel the light and extinguish the fire. Evil Spirits are the fallacy of the world. Their existence creates loopholes in the light and fire. The more Evil Spirits there are, the weaker the light and fire that constitute the order of the world."

"So, what Hales does most often is to choose suitable targets and turn them into evil spirits through various rituals." Sieh Mother-in-law explained: "Over 20 years ago, the Demon of the Mist in the Interkam capital was caused by this group of people"

"They have a deep understanding of evil spirits, so they think they can control Lord Negri. That's why they came with evil intentions." Sieh Mother-in-law laughed wickedly again. "But how could they possibly understand that Lord Negri's great power has surpassed humans and evil spirits? It's truly invincible power."

"However, even if Lord Negri's power is truly invincible, we still need to be wary of the power of the Black Abyss" Sieh Mother-in-law's tone suddenly changed.

"The original appearance of the world, the Black Abyss?" Negri's gaze seemed to be able to see through any concealment, giving off an indescribable sense of pressure.

"Indeed, ever since the White Light cut open the Black Abyss and brought forth the flames, this world had already gone through four empires. Glory, Life, Protection, and Hope. The flames brought forth by the White Light are about to be extinguished, the power of the Black Abyss is already beginning to stir"

"That power can surpass the structure of this world. Although there aren't many of them, they are still extremely troublesome to deal with"

"Is that so?" Negri waved his hand to open the door of the dark palace. Three people wearing black masks with white tears in the corner of their eyes were standing right outside the palace.

"May the Black Abyss envelop, and all things shed their appearances"

"We respectfully welcome the Dazzled to shed their appearances and return to their original appearance!" The three people walked toward Negri, and their bodies seemed to be surrounded by a black mist.

"You're really arrogant." Negri said, "Ignoring the will of others and forcibly using your own knowledge to erode others"

"Just as well, I'm the same!"

The floor turned into a black quagmire, and tentacles stretched out from the quagmire, binding the three people of Hales. However, their figures were like illusions under the black mist, and they directly passed through the tentacles and continued to walk toward Negri on the throne.

God was invisible, and what he saw was only one side. Under the cover of the black mist, no matter what kind of attack it was, it would not be able to hit the real them. This was what Hales relied on. Every official member of Hales could obtain this black mist that originated from the Black Abyss through a ritual.

"Evil spirits will naturally feel weak when facing the members of Hales, because evil spirits themselves are the errors of the world. Where they exist, light and fire will be unprecedentedly weak, and where light and fire cannot shine, the power of the Black Abyss will become extremely strong."

"This also means that we will be terrifyingly strong!" The three people jumped up, and the black mist that lingered on the surface of their bodies turned into countless chains that shrouded Negri.

"Just a bunch of clowns!" Negri sat on the throne, and a wave of pressure accompanied by a shocking roar surged out. It was as if the air was breaking inch by inch, and everything else was no longer important. It was as if the whole world only had Negri.

The lifeless bodies of the three people fell from the sky, and the black mist that lingered around them dissipated, revealing their naked bodies.

Hales believed that clothing was a product of light and fire, which would further distort their original appearance. Their skin was covered in various runes and scars, and from these scars, it was easy to tell that they had been through a lot of torture, such as stabbing, whipping, cutting off fingers, skinning, castration, and so on.

"The flesh is the ashes of unclean fire, they rejected the products of light and fire, so they destroyed their bodies through torture, believing that they would be able to shed a part of the ashes" Granny Seal'e explained from the side: "It is said that their final product is to shed their physical body and obtain a new body composed of black mist"

"Then, what is the so-called Dazzled?" The ground trembled and swallowed the bodies of the three people. As expected, none of them produced any Soul Essence. Obviously, Hales had more dealings with Evil Spirits than the Church of Divine Grace, so they must have some form of protection against Evil Spirits. That was why Negri could only obtain more information from Sieh Mother-In-Law.

After achieving the first release of her [Origin], Sieh Mother-In-Law obtained the so-called precognitive ability, which allowed her to know the secrets of many organizations, as well as many secrets of this world. She could be said to be a truly knowledgeable person.

"Hales believed that God is invisible, indescribable, unfathomable, and unreasonable, so when people observe God, they can observe a total of four states, which are the four sides of God. The Dazzled represents the invisible, the Cut Tongue represents the indescribable, the Severed Hand represents the unfathomable, and the Unreasonable represents the Decapitated"
