Novel Full Chapter 885 Constance’s Worry
885 Constance’s Worry
Of course, if these non-Immortals or ordinary humans offended the Immortals, then that would be a different case if the Immortals retaliated. Not even the Will of the Realm could do about that.
“It is finally within our grasp,” said Lord Moontomb with his deep voice. “The power of Divinity, even if corrupted, will elevate our faction’s abilities.”
Lady Featherstar nodded, her eyes also gleamed with excitement. “It’s a pity we can’t have a lot of them… Those Demon Saints produce Corrupted Divinity too slow…”
Despite her disappointment, her voice still sounded happy as she could imagine how those Priests, Exorcists, and Holy Knights would tremble at the sight of Dark Arcanists using the power created by Corrupted Divinity.
There was also the fact that the Church of the Lord of the Secrets started providing numerous potions that could turn an ordinary person into an Arcanist. Thanks to this mysterious potion, the issue of having a low number of Dark Arcanists was finally removed. After all, the potion helped them resolve the high death rate during the Dark Possession…
Consuming the Dark Possession Potion after the Arcanist Potion was actually so effective!
Thanks to that, the number of Dark Arcanists on their side had immediately increased.
Lord Angelart, known for his strategic mind, stepped forward. “We must use this power quickly. The Corrupted Divinity is potent and there’s no way they could stop with this artifact… I suggest that we start sending a plague to their territories.”
Lady Ravinie nodded at this as she was so eager to see the Holy Arts Faction suffer. They had been bullied by the alliance that the Holy Arts Faction created. Now that they have a chance to turn things around, they shouldn’t miss it.
“This is a turning point for our faction. We must use our advantage before the Avatar of the Fortune Goddess recovers.”
Lord Vermont, the eldest and most revered among them, raised his hand. “Then, let’s start with the plague as Lord Angelart suggested.”
The Half-Immortals nodded in agreement as they knew that the time had come. The Divine Crystal was a game-changer, a tool that could reshape the balance of power in their favor.
Lord Moontomb’s eyes darkened with a vengeful glint. “They have thwarted us for too long. Let’s start with the plague to make their healers busy…”
Lady Featherstar’s smile was cold. “Indeed. Then, let’s send our Necromancer to summon a horde of undead creatures at the edges of their territories. The Holy Arts Faction will be too preoccupied with the chaos to stop our advance…”
Lord Angelart nodded. “We must ensure that our actions remain secret. The element of surprise will be our greatest weapon. We will use the undead to weaken their defenses and send our Dark Magicians to the Holy City once their forces have spread out.”
The Half-Immortals spent hours planning their strategy in order to bring down the Holy Arts Faction. They could not be too complacent just because they obtained the Corrupted Divinity Crystal.
They have to create numerous plans and backup strategies as they might not have another chance once they fail this attempt to route the Church of the Fortune Goddess and the Holy Arts Faction.

In the meantime, as the Dark Arts Faction was plotting to wage war against the Holy Arts Faction, Vale, approached the grand entrance of the Arcane Bureau’s main branch.
Of course, he didn’t exude an immortal presence. His appearance was carefully disguised to blend in with the other Arcanists.
He wore a simple robe amd his aura was subdued to avoid drawing attention. As he entered the headquarters, he was greeted by Merlin, one of his trusted subordinates and the previous Overseer of this realm.
Merlin, now a special Director of the Bureau, found Vale immediately despite his guise because of their special connection, the Slave Mark.
With a respectful nod, he led Vale through the bustling corridors to his private office.
The room was filled with shelves of various documents, some magical artifacts, and intricate maps detailing various areas they around the continent.
Once inside, Merlin closed the door and turned to Vale.
“Lord Vale, may I ask the reason for your visit?” he inquired, his tone respectful yet curious. From the connection he felt, he knew that the one in front of him wasn’t the Avatar but the real one.
Vale took a moment to observe the office, noting the meticulous organization and the faint hum Arcane Energy around.
“I just visited Constance… Ahh, you probably know her as Pearl,” he began. “She mentioned that there could still be a problem in this realm even after we defeated the Abyss Invasion, the Time Manipulators, and even the Death God. She wasn’t sure about this as well and only mentioned that it was an intuition she obtained after becoming a Spirit Immortal. As an Overseer, do you have any idea about this?”
Merlin frowned, deep in thought.
He considered the possibilities. His mind raced through the various threats and anomalies that could still pose a danger.
“The problems I could think of,” he began slowly, “include the weakening of the Realm’s Will, the potential return of the Demon Lord, or perhaps the presence of other successors of the Paragons had already arrived in the continent.”
Vale’s interest was piqued. “Other successors?”
Merlin nodded. “Yes, there are two other known successors of the Paragons. The Chaos Alchemist, who wields the Primordial Chaos Arts, and the Blood Soulcaster, who wields the Void Arts. These individuals possess powers that could rival our own. I believe that you are the third successor, Lord Vale, the Divine Extractor.”
Vale absorbed this information… He already had a rough idea about this. “If these successors are indeed active, they could pose a significant threat. We need to be prepared.”
Merlin agreed. “Indeed. The weakening of the Realm’s Will is also a concern. It could lead to instability and make our realm vulnerable to external threats.” Merlin said.
Well, he already guessed that Vale was the Divine Extractor after he got targeted by the Death God and the Demon Lord together with the Time Manipulators. It just couldn’t be hidden from someone as knowledgeable as him.
Vale nodded at this, appreciating Merlin’s insights. “Thank you, Merlin. Do you have information about these two?”
Merlin bowed slightly. “It is my honor to serve, Lord Vale. I already tried to investigate them, and the Arcane Bureau had guessed that the Lord of the Secrets might be hiding them…”
