I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 1014 - 659: The King of Slaughter’s Banquet

Chen Lun and Floey did not stay long.

Under the warm invitation of Queen Matthaios IV, they had a simple meal and then left the City of Light amidst the hymns of the city’s residents.

Floey hadn’t appeared for several days and needed to go to the Dawn Cathedral to handle some trivial matters.

After reluctantly parting with a kiss from the lover, they headed to the City of Cats.

Black Light descended, shining straight into the outer courtyard of the Dawn Cathedral.

Wearing a bishop’s robe, the tall and burly Antonio was squatting in the corner outside the cathedral, whispering to a cat, a dog, and a hedgehog.

"Babu, your patterns are like Andon’s. If only you weren’t a dog, I’d adopt you as my godson..."

The border collie Babu sat squatting on the ground, tongue hanging out, and his eyes filled with helplessness.

At this moment, Antonio suddenly sensed movement, turned around, and quickly got up to greet:

"Master Floey."

"Anton, gather the church leaders and prepare to completely eliminate the History and Ritual Association and the Hailing Group..."

Antonio’s honest expression immediately became serious, breaking into a smile.

"Yes, Pope."

In the crevice of The Otherworld, deep within Spider Web Hell.

Intoxicated Wine Estate.

When Chen Lun came here again, he could feel obvious changes in the surroundings.

The hazy dreamlike color that covered the entire estate had turned crimson. The flowers grew more vigorously, and the grapevines climbing up the vintage mansion bore even more plump and full fruits.

However, it all seemed even older.

As if it had been washed by the sands of time for thousands of years.

Yet unchanged was the window on the second floor.

The light inside the vintage carved glass always remained on.

Without even knocking, the door of the wine estate creaked open by itself.

Chen Lun adjusted his hat, propping himself with a cane, and walked in.

Passing through the flower beds, he came straight to the mansion’s door, where the style of the wind chime had changed to a string of conchs, and one could faintly hear the sound of waves as they clashed.

’The chief of the Hailing Group, Candice, and several Deep Sea Saints...’

Chen Lun looked up, instantly realizing something.

This was yet another new collection of the King of Slaughter.

’Was it during my five years of slumber that the Generous Council acted?’

He speculated as he walked into the mansion.

In the hall on the first floor, a dozen new collections had been added. After a glance, Chen Lun confirmed his guess.

Ascending the stairs, he arrived on the second floor.

Stepping on the soft carpet, he was momentarily stunned.

In the spacious hall sat three figures.

Two men and one woman.

Besides Conrad, who wore a short ponytail and a tailcoat, there was a short-haired man clad in a dark blue velvet robe and a lady in a light green dress wearing a small hat.

"Welcome, friend."

Conrad chuckled lightly, raising his glass.

"Just in time, Jack, Angela, and Mia are all here. Come have a drink."

Angela?

Mia?!

Chen Lun couldn’t help but be startled.

Mr. Jing Yao and Miss Holy Tree?!

As Conrad’s words of invitation fell, the man and woman turned around, smiling and casting an appreciative glance at him.

Chen Lun quickly took off his hat and, from a distance, bowed to the three of them.

Only then did he step forward and take a seat in a solitary high-back chair.

The seats were arranged in a square, with Conrad sitting at the main seat, Mr. Jing Yao and Miss Holy Tree on either side, and Chen Lun opposite the King of Slaughter.

On the coffee table in the center were wine glasses, an exquisite bottle, and some grapes, glowing with a black jade luster, which he had never seen before.

"Jack, congratulations on your promotion to Eternity."

Mr. Jing Yao held a columnar wine glass with half a cup of amber-colored wine and spoke in a friendly tone.

"I must say, your performance surprised us."

At the other end, Miss Holy Tree laughed softly.

The small hat fell with a veil, revealing only the chin. From the fair face and mouth, Chen Lun could judge that Mother Nature had a perfect appearance.

Moreover, hanging from the ears were a pair of semi-transparent golden accessories, flashing with dazzling and mysterious radiance, further highlighting her noble and elegant temperament.

"Overrated, Your Majesties."

Chen Lun slightly bowed his head and humbly replied.

Mr. Jing Yao shook his head.

"As Klaff’s successor, we have always been watching you... In the past, we reached a consensus that we must remove the initial seven gods under the old invasions to continue the existence of this world."

He spoke, raising his eyes vast like the cosmos, filled with wisdom.

"But this method is merely a fleeting solution. To truly achieve salvation, there must appear a super-existence that transcends the Sequence, akin to the old ones who once guarded this world—the original master of No Return Land, ’King of Comedy’... Klaff was both a pioneer and martyr, whose planning and layout over several epochs were solely to guide a fate new god... I think you have already found the correct path according to the clues He left behind."

Chen Lun took a deep breath, filled with admiration.

He nodded in agreement.

"We were born in No Return Land, belonging to the initial gods of this world. Yet, for this reason alone, it’s difficult to escape its insurmountable influence, unable to achieve transcendence... Back then, we all wished to sacrifice for this, gathering the strength of the three pathways of sorrow and joy to let Klaff complete the old ritual, but this matter was impossible from the start... No Return Land resists."

Mr. Jing Yao sighed softly.

"This world cannot lack our operation, we were born for it since our existence began..."

"Therefore, only you can fulfill Klaff’s legacy, which is also our common wish."

Ms. Holy Tree whispered.

Chen Lun was stunned, lost in thought.

’No wonder... Ring Duke, unable to become the old one, chose another path to find a route, whether by developing ’Animal Mimicry’ with Holy Fire Pathway characteristics, or smuggling a fictional incarnation to the Azure Federation, all were out of necessity.’

"Currently, there are only five of the initial seven gods left: Blazing Father, Radiant Queen, Lady Rose, Mud Elder, and the Eternal Sleeper... We will try our best to assist you, striving for more time to allow you to ascend to the position of fate new god, eventually finding the chance for transcendence."

Ms. Holy Tree’s gentle voice flowed like water.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Mia."

Chen Lun said solemnly.

"Jack, if you need help, I can assist at any time."

At this point, Conrad chuckled lightly, holding a bottle of wine and pouring drinks for the three present.

"Additionally, with Blazing Father in his current state, I’m afraid he won’t last another twenty years. Once he loses control, not only will the entire world collapse, but it will also ruin the Ring Island Ritual arranged by Ring Duke... Then, without the barrier’s obstruction and the deterrence of this strongest True God, the old ones and outer gods will infiltrate with ease... It might only take a few months for this world to disappear completely."

"So, I must become god within twenty years?!"

Chen Lun’s face showed shock.

"You could say so... Only by becoming the fate new god can you maintain the Ring Island Ritual and serve as the new ’deterrence’.

Mr. Jing Yao said solemnly.

"Otherwise, apart from eternal existence, everyone will die."

Chen Lun lowered his gaze.

He knew Mr. Jing Yao’s words were actually understated, because without the Sun Continent, even eternal existence could only prolong its life.

Without Sanity and anchor points, it would inevitably fall into sleep, never to awaken.

With these insights, the little self-satisfaction Chen Lun had after ascending as an Angel vanished completely, replaced by a strong sense of urgency.

"Your Majesties, how much do you know about the Outer Continent?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Lun asked.

The Holy Fire Pathway was a key part of his grand design, and he wanted to gather more intelligence.

Conrad shrugged and cast an odd look.

Meaning, as if saying, I just became god, how would I know much.

"Angela knows more than I do. She used to go there often."

Ms. Holy Tree remarked.

"Accurately, you should be interested in the outer gods pathway, right?"

Mr. Jing Yao took a sip of wine, glancing at Chen Lun.

Seeing his slightly surprised expression, Mr. Jing Yao smiled and continued:

"Klaff had a strong interest in this, as do I... The characteristic of the Path of Plague is ’Pathogenization’, while Holy Fire is ’Integration’, Clamor is ’Awakening’, and Winter Bell is ’Parasitism.’

His vast eyes flashed with gravity.

"I have faced these four pathway’s True Gods: ’Lord of Moths’, ’Candelabra Goddess’, ’Mourning Lady’, and ’Man of Mist’... Their strength is formidable."

Chen Lun slightly furrowed his brow.

From Mr. Jing Yao’s tone, the strength of these four Outer Continent True Gods should not be underestimated.

"Your Majesty, Angela, what is the ’Ripple Empire’ of the Outer Continent all about? The Abasye Cult serves as its state religion, worshipping the God of the Deep Sea ’Abasye’, yet they use the Deep Sea Path."

Chen Lun asked again.

Mr. Jing Yao placed down the wine glass.

"In reality, that is the Eternal Sleeper... He is the least simple of the initial seven gods, whose mind has long been eroded by the old ’Eternal Nightmare’, with even a remnant thought descending within him, attempting to enter the Sun Continent entirely through him."

"The old one has already penetrated..."

Chen Lun was taken aback.

No wonder Ring Duke prioritized the Eternal Sleeper.

The harm he poses is comparable to Blazing Father.

"The Dream Realm, created by the projection of Original Sin ’Tomb of Dreams’, is indeed brought by that remnant thought from the old... So, in reality, the Dream Realm is none other than the Eternal Sleeper’s dream."

Mr. Jing Yao said mildly.

"The true form of Mud Elder is hidden deep within the Dream Realm, and even I can’t intervene... Before being sealed, the Eternal Sleeper was influenced by Klaff’s powers, leading to the creation of Nature, Magic, and Destiny’s sorrow and joy territory in dreams, to mediate the Corruption and Starry Sky areas, achieving a delicate balance."

His tone showed admiration.

"Jack, haven’t you noticed, the Dream Realm alone lacks the areas of the Whirlpool and Erosion pathways... This is the last Sanity of the Eternal Sleeper, should these two areas appear in his dream and get destroyed, he may never awake again... And the reason Klaff wants the Dream Realm to maintain balance is prepared for you, only with a stable Dream Realm, can you easily penetrate deepest, to kill Mud Elder, Montgomery! While destroying this dream, critically wounding the Eternal Sleeper!"
