Chapter 610 - 610: 546
Chapter 610: 546
“Fishing for survival, descendants of the Piglet, you are undoubtedly the fodder at the bottom of a cruel world, born with souls so base because they hold no value; thus, no divine beings would ever shelter you.”
The Blood Priest gazed coldly at the despairing Irene, repeating the words he had already spoken in a previous timeline.
“Since you have no refuge, become a sacrifice to satiate our lord’s appetite.”
“Boom!”
Just like before, a terrifying bolt of lightning fell from the stormy night sky as if a celestial being thrust a white blade through the heavens, splitting the darkness and tearing apart the priest’s body.
Irene was left dumbfounded.
…
Then…
“I am the Lord of the Lost, the god who shall indeed resurrect.”
“Your achievement aids a great endeavor, contributing a portion of power.”
The pact between “The End and the Fischer family” was signed once again; up until now, everything had occurred without any deviations from the initial events.
Karl was clear on one thing—if he wanted to alter the ultimate outcome in this second run, he would have to understand several matters.
These include the truths about the native gods of Claud and the manipulated God of Reforging, as well as the specific details of the manipulative otherworldly god, “Chaos Constellation.”
Hmm, the most important matter was… the truth of his own sealing.
Although in a former life he managed to break the ninth seal, he still could not recall why he was sealed, or who sealed him, as Karl’s memories and powers remained incomplete.
However, one thing was evident, if someone could seal the supreme existence of an otherworldly god, The End, then it was highly probable that the entity performing the sealing was another otherworldly god.
In short, he had two main objectives for this second run: firstly, to uncover those truths, and secondly, to enhance the power of the Fischer family as much as possible.
If someone from the Fischer family could reach the 12th Rank, surpassing the five levels of bloodline power to attain a strength comparable to a True God, they would have enough capability to defeat the God of Reforging who descends in the final stage.
This time, you can’t have your “Mechanical Descent.”
Karl silently contemplated another matter worthy of attention—the Chaos Constellation, the Tranquility Songster… and other otherworldly gods who, like him, were unfettered by the constraints of timelines and also carried their memories into the second run.
Thus, he had to be wary of potential changes.
In short, he would wait for them to appear.
——
After some time.
Lucius was extremely shocked. Theoretically, a human with neither spellcasting talent nor the power of bloodline should never truly possess extraordinary power, even if they temporarily gained some!
And yet, the power he held had shattered such an ironclad rule!
Suppressing the excitement deep in his heart, Lucius spoke with utmost reverence, “Great Lord of the Lost, I am Lucius, now the eldest male of the Fischer family.”
“The Fischer family will absolutely serve you, with loyalty and to the utmost of our abilities. Everything we do is for your grand resurrection!”
Just like initially, Karl granted them the power of God Pantheon stairway.
But this time, unlike in past lives, they had advance knowledge of how to grasp the Power of Consecution more quickly, and what rituals were needed for each step.
Grasping true extraordinary power delighted the members of Fischer greatly, and then Karl issued several critical divine oracles.
Most importantly, they were to collect information about the “Chaos Constellation” and the truths about the native gods and the God of Reforging.
Secondly, they were to look into the several attacks the Fischer family was likely to experience in the coming years, especially the one that historically would have led to Lucius’s death, even revealing that Viscount Bast was the orchestrator of that attack.
Although the Chaos Constellations were aware of the Fischer family’s situation, Karl understood that this otherworldly god did not possess what’s called “personality” and would not, like him, disclose information or deliver specific divine oracles; thus, the Stars Embrace Order would not come seeking them anytime soon.
In fact, among the multitude of otherworldly gods, those possessing the irrelevant trait of “personality” were ultimately a minority.
Initially, Karl possessed little spiritual power, which was nearly exhausted after delivering this round of divine oracles.
“What? Viscount Bast has colluded with those despicable Rhea people?”
Lucius’s expression changed, his eyes pondering, clouded with uncertainty.
“Great Lord of the Lost, I understand. Thank you for the warning.”
In the second cycle, the Fischer family accelerated their Power of Consecution even more rapidly than before, and under Lucius’s arrangements, two attacks involving East Sea Natives and Rhea People were easily resolved.
Grandma Narda’s “lamp base” component was successfully acquired by the Fischer family.
During the attack by the Rhea People, Lucius cleverly tipped off Duke Romann in advance. When the Meyer family troops from Rhea came searching for the lamp base of the “Wishing Divine Lamp,” they encountered Duke Romann’s ambushing army by Nasir Town and were completely annihilated.
Because Nasir Town was spared from peril, Lucius received commendation from Duke Romann and was granted knighthood, solidifying the Fischer family’s standing in the town.
A few years passed, and Lucius became the first to reach the 3rd Rank of the “Sword Brandisher,” while Byrne also came into contact with the Alchemy Council and Viscount Bast.
The silver descendants in town dared not confront Lucius who had undergone a “low-level Transmutation,” and honestly submitted, while Lucius’s team preemptively wiped out the members of the Sea God Cult, offering no chance for the Spawn of the Abyss to appear.
And due to Lucius’s presence, Irene and Byrne also had more time to augment their strength.
Finally, Irene and Byrne both reached the 3rd Rank sooner than before, and only then did Lucius officially elevate the dormant family to baronial status, while discreetly spreading the doctrines of the Dawn Church.
Nasir Town had completely become the asset of the Fischer family, and soon after, Lucius, on behalf of Byrne, forged a friendship with Viscount Bast of the Lion clan.
Before the war against the Sea God Cult began, Karl delivered another prophecy, directly informing a few members of the Fischer family of the causes and effects of many matters.
Thus, they informed the Tempest Bishop “Thunderous Monarch” in advance about someone within the Tempest Church colluding with the Sea God Cult and then began cooperating with Assistant Priest Zayne to covertly investigate.
Baron Leander became a key breakthrough. He had seen the transactions between the Tempest Church, the Sea God Cult, and the Last Blood in the Spirit Realm; it was for this reason that he was killed and went mad in the Spirit Realm.
In the previous life, Byrne killed him after he went mad, but failed to decipher the clue he had left behind.
Finally, the traitor was exposed.
The Fischer family, in conjunction with the Tempest Bishop “Thunderous Monarch,” subdued the traitor. Then, Byrne offered a strategy.
“Respected bishop, perhaps, we could ambush them! Please allow me to explain in detail…”
The Tempest Bishop began to counter-deploy, inviting a true powerhouse at the price of a Forbidden rare artifact.
Thus, during the decisive battle with the Sea God Cult, Lord Aldrich of the Romann family unexpectedly appeared, calmly collaborating with the “Thunderous Monarch” in a two against three combat and successfully defeated the discordant enemy trio, even killing one of them.
The Sea God Cult faced an immediate dire situation and could only hide again in the sea.
And so, the Fischer family became instantly in demand, gaining more connections and status, and a few years later, Lucius stepped onto the 4th Rank, “Commander,” and a new viscount family was born!
Because the “Thunderous Monarch” was still alive, the great slaughter and reshuffling among the families of the East Coast after Earl Hovern lost power did not occur, and many viscount families honestly followed this bishop, who was promoted to mid-level Monarch a few years later.
Finally…
The information about the “Chaos Constellation” was found. Two years earlier, Chris reached the 4th Rank “Sin Executioner” and successfully encountered the Stars Embrace Order under the “Black Starlight.”
