Chapter 517 -473: The Mystery of Faith and the Northern Chaos_2
In general, the more chaotic and impoverished a place is, the easier it is for religious sects to expand.
After all, the lowly poor have nothing, often suffer bullying and injustice, and sometimes even physical illness, leaving them with no choice but to place all their hopes in the divine!
The fastest way to catalyze faith is to create a major disaster, calm the chaos in the name of the gods when everyone is in despair, and it would be best to perform a few miracles, which naturally can harvest a large number of devout believers.
Therefore, doomsday prophecies are also a common tactic used in various religious promotions.
It is precisely because of impending doom that one needs to have even more devout faith in the gods to avoid the catastrophe!
However, now is obviously not the time to ponder why the church would release a large number of Evil Gods; the chaos in the Kingdom’s North Border must be dealt with as quickly as possible!
The sooner, the better!
Each renowned Evil God possesses legendary strength, and if allowed to perform mass blood sacrifices to fully regain past power, it would become extremely difficult to handle.
“Why not let me go?” Vittorio said eagerly.
Ever since his breakthrough, Vittorio had been frustrated by the lack of opportunities to exert himself fully, as he had to fight against Lynn and the others with restraint, making him quite annoyed. Now, at last, he had found a target to test his strength without any reservations!
Not to mention, with the church and the empire coveting intensely, the turmoil in the North Border could very well be a strategy to lure them into dividing their forces.
Therefore, the best solution would be for him to go alone to the North Border and cooperate directly with Ryder and others to settle the disturbance!
“With my speed, it will take only an hour and a half to rush from Fire Oil City to the Kingdom North Border. If successful, the problem could be resolved within a day; I should probably be back by tomorrow night!” Vittorio said casually.
“Don’t be too careless, this might be a trap set to lure us there!” Harrov cautioned seriously.

Heading to the North Border would mean facing not just the Evil God upheaval, but also Gustav lurking in the shadows, which is to say, possibly confronting two legendary-level opponents.
“It doesn’t matter, just an Evil God who has not fully awakened, and a pseudo-legendary at that,” Vittorio scoffed.
The souls of ten thousand people are not enough to restore an Evil God to its peak state, and besides, an enemy with a confused consciousness shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with.
As for the legendary clergy of the church, although they also possess Energy Bodies, Vittorio had conducted thorough research on the Judgement Chief these past days, discovering that his state was very peculiar, with all of his powers coming directly from the false god, “Ella.”
Based on their previous experiences, Gustav was likely only capable of manifesting legendary-level power when using the Divine Kingdom’s descent, aided by holy words.
In a sense, he was nothing more than a pseudo-legendary!
Facing such adversaries, even if another awakened Evil God were added, Vittorio still had full confidence in defeating them!
Although Lynn and the others felt Vittorio might be a bit overconfident, they also understood that this truly was the best plan.
Thus, Fire Oil City could preserve most of its strength to deter the empire and the church. Most crucially, Vittorio’s solo mission would be very covert, quick to go and quick to return, and the church might not even react in time before the matter was already settled.
“In any case, you’d better be careful, lest you fall into a trap and we have to come save you…” Aurora teased in warning.
“Hahaha, how could that be?” Vittorio laughed loudly, and without further delay, his energy-formed body transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky.
Lynn shook his head, remembering that Vittorio had always been quite cautious, but after breaking through to legendary status, he seemed to become somewhat impatient.
Could it be the influence of human hormones?
No longer aging, perhaps his mentality had also returned to that of his youth?
Lynn thought to himself, but he wasn’t too worried. With their mastery of electromagnetic communication technology, even separated by hundreds of kilometers, they could still quickly contact each other, and nothing too great should go amiss.
With Vittorio supporting the North Border, Harrov and Aurora were somewhat relieved. They turned to Lynn, asking,
“Is the Array for the legendary ascension ceremony repaired? How long will it take to activate it again?”
After practicing with Vittorio for several days, both of them increasingly felt the power of the legendary realm and their desire to advance naturally grew stronger as well.
“The repair is basically complete now, Vittorio, the council member, also made some improvements to the Array. Now, the only thing we’re missing is the nuclear fusion fuel,” Lynn explained hesitantly.
Nuclear fusion claims to provide an endless supply of clean energy, but at the end of the day, it still consumes fuel.
It’s just that this fuel is abundant enough to be extracted from seawater, which for Earth in the past, without considering the energy consumption of space travel in the future, could sustain all of humanity for hundreds of millions of years!
However, the content of deuterium and tritium in seawater is really limited. Hundreds of wizards from the council specializing in thunder magic have nearly drained an entire lake and still haven’t been able to extract a second portion of the advancement nuclear fuel.
Now, they are considering whether to build a deuterium and tritium extraction station on the sea to supply the wizards’ needs for upcoming advancements.
“Then we can only wait!” said Harrov with regret, knowing that the Thunder Mages had already done their best and could not be asked to go any faster.
After ending their practice session, Lynn and the others chatted casually on the way back to Fire Oil City, where the city’s bustling and lively scenes gradually dissolved their worries about the affairs of the Kingdom North Border.
Rafael looked at the neatly arranged concrete houses, the stylish and beautiful train platforms, and the smiling faces on the wide and smooth roads, and a smile appeared on his face.
A few months ago, under the control of the church, this area was a slum that could only be described as filthy and chaotic, with the destitute unable to satisfy their hunger or cover their bodies with clothes. Now, it has become the brightest spot of the entire city.
With the full support of the council, the development of Fire Oil City was so rapid that the word “vigorous” would not suffice to describe it. It has been heard that recently, quite a few citizens of the bordering empire have secretly crossed the borders, fleeing from all parts of the forests and seeking shelter within the kingdom, choosing to make a living here.
Rafael, having personally witnessed the changes, was filled with pride. This is the power of magic!
Lynn, with his exceptionally keen hearing, was listening to the gossip and discussions of the townspeople during their leisure time, the hottest topic naturally being the civil service exam that took place a few days ago.
In the city, a total of two thousand people participated, and they needed to select more than two hundred grass-roots administrators from them. With a one-in-ten chance, it was not low; even if someone did not perform very well in the exam, there was still a possibility of being selected.
What surprised Lynn a bit was that quite a number of people were discussing the disaster of the Evil God that had erupted in the Kingdom North Border!
The news from the North Border reached Fire Oil City so soon?
Lynn couldn’t help but frown. After all, this information was passed directly through electromagnetic wave communication; they should have been the fastest to receive the news!
Was it the communication Wizard who leaked the message?
Or was someone deliberately spreading it…
“Give the order to strengthen the vigilance these next few days!” Lynn mused for a while before giving the instruction.
…
Night, Fire Oil City.
A lavishly decorated alchemical car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Wizard College, drawing surprised and envious glances.
“Please, Miss Cynthia!” Lean invited, opening the door of the car quite gentlemanly.
For tonight’s ‘private meeting,’ Lean had specifically changed out of the standard robe distributed by the college and had bought a new set of clothes—a coat, undershirt, trousers, plus a pair of high boots; this was the new fashion amongst the kingdom’s wizards lately!
Of course, it would have been perfect if the alchemical car in front of him was bought and not rented!
However, Cynthia seemed unsatisfied with his eager behavior, speaking in a low murmur, “I remember saying that this visit was to Master Farrell and there was no need for such a fuss.”
“It’s nothing. I usually go out like this,” Lean laughed heartily, though his heart was bleeding on the inside.
To rent this latest model alchemical car, he had spent a total of sixty magic Gold Coins, renting it for three days to practice his driving skills, and now he was nearly bankrupt.
But he believed it was all worth it!
