Chapter 82

Reystromia.

Negri had been quieter and quieter these past few years. Because of the war, Reystromia was no longer as prosperous as it used to be, most of the people here were deserters and mercenaries.

Although there were still a few crazy smugglers, there weren't that many of them.

"I had thought that Eldridge would retaliate against Nala's appearance, but strangely enough, he chose to remain indifferent" Negri's voice slowly came out, but his figure was nowhere to be seen on the throne: "Sieh Mother-in-law, your prophecy seems to have failed"

"Lord Negri, this old woman's prophecy did not fail, Eldridge will definitely clash with Nala, this is their destiny" Sieh Mother-in-law was standing next to the throne as usual and spoke with confidence.

"I can see it, the flame is about to be extinguished, Eldridge Andre has made his choice. He rose to power because of the Last God, but also because he was bound by the Last God. He did not choose to fight against Nala, which means he has retreated"

"Eldridge …" Negri sighed. Although he had never met this person before, he had been eyeing this rival and food for a long time, so he was a bit disappointed: "So he chose to help Nala"

"That's right, he has retreated. He didn't have a choice before, everything about the Last God was binding him, but now that Nala has appeared, the most powerful king in the history of Royas has retreated, he has chosen to hand over the responsibility that originally belonged to him to Nala"

"It should be about time" Negri asked. It had been 21 years since he appeared in this world. In these 21 years, he went from an ignorant remnant soul to an existence that stood at the peak of this world. He died in this world, died in this world, changed in this world, grew in this world, and now, it was time for him to put an end to this world.

"That's right, Master, the Black Abyss is approaching. Everything is coming to an end, but no matter what they choose, we will still emerge victorious!" Sieh Mother-in-law said excitedly.

"Then recall the three squads." Negri's voice was still calm. The three forces he mentioned were the integration of all the forces he had developed over the years: the reorganized Crowmen, the elite Ghostmen, and the secretive Draconians.

…

Nala sat on one of the side seats in the main hall as a princess.

Beside her was Seth the First, who had a fake smile on his face. After a few years, his body had become a bit plump, and he looked extremely kind.

Nala moved her arms uncomfortably. This damned ladylike dress limited her range of movement. If she used a little bit of force, the dress would collapse. She really didn't know what this kind of dress was used for.

"Everyone, the counterattack is finally over. Marshal Rhys will soon return with victory and Royas' envoy. After the post-war negotiations with Royas are concluded, all those who contributed will receive their due rewards" Seth the First smiled as he raised his wine glass and announced this exciting news to the gathered nobles and ministers.

The war couldn't continue. The first was the population problem. In the end, war was a game of population. During the past few years of war, a large number of young adults were conscripted into the army. If the war continued, the country would be crippled.

But now was just the right time. A group of nobles had died, a new group had risen, and the country could be stable for at least a few more decades. Everything seemed perfect.

Luen Donner was also wearing a luxurious priest's robe, sitting on the right side of the hall with a smile on his face.

He was 30 years old this year. For a poor family, this was considered old, but for people like him who held God's Grace, he was still very young. And it was at this age that he became the youngest Pope of the Church of Divine Grace.

There were many factors involved in this. His own hard work couldn't be denied, but his identity also gave him a great advantage. His teacher was Augustin, who was very popular in the Church of Divine Grace, which led to quite a few people standing on his side during the election.

Another factor was the war. War was indeed the best way to replace a new force. For example, his competitor, the Cardinal who was older than him, died in the war.

Coupled with his identity as an aristocrat, he was able to better coordinate the relationship between the nobles and the Church of Divine Grace. Finally, with a bit of 'luck', he managed to achieve his ambition and became the Pope of the Church of Divine Grace.

"The next step is to take this opportunity to expand the Church of Divine Grace" Luen glanced at Nala and Seth the First. The reason why the Church of Divine Grace agreed to withdraw Nala was because he had reached an agreement with Seth and the nobles of the country.

During the peace talks with Royas, they worked together to pressure the emissaries of Royas, forcing Royas to agree to the preaching of the Church of Divine Grace in the agreement of defeat.

Luen's initial goal was only to become a Cardinal, but after becoming a Cardinal, he set his sights on becoming the Pope. And after becoming the Pope, he wanted to become the greatest Pope in the history of the Church of Divine Grace, fulfilling his ambition of spreading the Church of Divine Grace to the entire continent!

The light of God should shine upon more people, only then can we prevent the Black Abyss from descending upon the world "Luen thought to himself.

After becoming the Pope, he obtained various secrets hidden within the Church of Divine Grace, the most important of which was the disaster that would sweep through the entire continent, the Black Abyss.

In the records of the Church of Divine Grace, the light of God pierced through the Black Abyss, ignited a holy flame, and cleansed a corner of the Black Abyss. But God didn't stay for long, his battle against the Black Abyss was still ongoing.

The First Empire left because the False Gods and Dragons had betrayed God, causing the Black Abyss to recover. During the Second Empire, the people once again prayed to God's gaze to restore peace to the Black Abyss.

However, this corner was so small that the Gods soon stopped paying attention to them. As the Second Empire fell, the faith in the Gods also slowly disappeared. During the era of the Fourth Empire, the Cauchy people had even converted their faith into the faith of the living beings.

Fortunately, after the Fourth Empire collapsed, the first Pope found the first blessing of God from the ruins of the Second Empire. Only when the light of God shines upon the earth can it cleanse the Black Abyss and return this world to normal.

"The more the faith of the people, the more I can attract God's gaze" Luen's mind was filled with schemes to expand the Church of Divine Grace.

Very quickly, Rhys brought a large number of noble knights back to the capital, of course, there were also several envoys from the Kingdom of Royas. The next few days were filled with negotiations regarding the post-war treaty, as well as arguments regarding compensation rights and benefits.
