Chapter 194 Pass it on, the Three Sons of God
While Xia'er was discussing mystical knowledge with Sauron's sister, Sauron's loud laughter was already making the Storm Pigeons feel physically uncomfortable. This red-haired guy was incredibly powerful, but he was also too talkative. His fiery red hair was swinging back and forth, which was really unpleasant to look at.
This war, fought during a time of strife, lasted for many years.
From the perspective of the overall time span, it gave Feng Zhibai enough face; it's understandable that he was defeated after such a long time.
Shael knew very well why Solomon and the other angel kings had stepped down to the sidelines.
Only by retreating from the front lines could Solomon have time to reorganize the Kingdom of Solomon in the rear and lay the groundwork for the final ceremony of becoming a god. Without Shael, Solomon would not have had this spare time and would probably have had to work harder with a group of angels who had defected to him, such as Antigonus.
Now, due to the intervention of the Kingdom of Constantine, those with combat power above the level of angel are directly eliminated.
The angels were happy not to actually contribute to Solomon's cause, but instead sent their own forces to join the war. Due to the nature of the system, most of these extraordinary beings chose to join the two kingdoms, and Shael also accepted the allegiance of some extraordinary families.
For example... the Einhorn family.
"I don't understand, isn't the witch's path better?"
Xia Er looked at Einhorn with great incomprehension. In his mind, the witch path was much better than the hunter path. As a result, these women gave up being women and insisted on being men. Didn't they know that this path was also very competitive?
Einhorn wasn't keen on answering the question. Of course, he wanted to continue being a woman, but where did the extraordinary properties of a Witch Path Sequence 2 come from? How was the ascension ceremony for a Witch Path Sequence 2 performed? And what were the potion recipes for high-sequence Witch Path potions?
Before Sequence 2, how many opportunities for free choice were there?
"You should have already gotten the answer to this question from Soren."
Ainhorn then turned the conversation to Sauron.
"The ritual for ascending to angelhood through the hunter's path is indeed simpler."
Shael knew that the ritual for hunters to ascend to angelhood was related to the weather, which he found not difficult.
Chick's luck was probably better than Sauron's and Iinhorn's. If Shael remembered correctly, Chick found Lilith's hair before the Fourth Age, which could be used as a Sequence 2 Extraordinary Ability of the Witch Path.
Whenever Shael catches a glimpse of the Earth Mother, he wonders just how beautiful Lilith, the progenitor of vampires, must have been at her peak.
With the Moon Path, the Mother Path, and even a Witch Path mixed in, it's no wonder that even the Giant King Ormir couldn't help but be moved. Lilith at that time was probably a beauty that transcended species.
"Swear allegiance to me, then do what you want."
Without wasting any words, Xia Er readily accepted Einhorn's offer to join him.
"I will fight for you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that Shael was so straightforward, Einhorn readily bowed and left with the elven guards, joining the army of the Kingdom of Constant and replacing the now-wandering Arodes from the front lines.
Einhorn's reason for siding with Shael was simple: the Hunter's Path always requires war; without large-scale warfare, Sequence 3...
How does the War Bishop digest his potions? He needs a massive legion as his backing to unleash his true power.
Throughout the entire Northern Continent, only the Kingdom of Constantine and the Kingdom of Solomon possess this foundation.
The gods' earthly kingdoms are not small, but the church's organization in this regard is somewhat lacking. Moreover, the church is a self-contained system, making it difficult for outside hunters to gain a foothold. The obvious choice would be to select the two kingdoms that dominate the offensive.
The reason for not choosing the Kingdom of Solomon is simple: "Red Angel" Medici is the Angel King of the Hunter Path.
Einhorn preferred to stay in the Kingdom of Constantine with Soren, where at least the gap between them wasn't that significant. Going to the Kingdom of Solomon would just be asking for trouble. He had just briefly tested the waters, and the king of Storm Passage suited his taste perfectly.
There aren't that many problems.
After Arrodes returned, he said to Shael, "Your Majesty, this war probably won't last long. Once Solomon becomes the Black Emperor, the war will end immediately."
"Yes, the outcome of the continental war depends solely on the outcome of the divine war."
"The Kingdom of Solomon might even want to turn around and destroy us."
Shael knew it, Arodes knew it, and all the high-sequence extraordinary beings knew it.
Secular wars are merely a supplement to divine wars.
"But becoming a god isn't that easy. Isn't it normal for the Black Emperor's ascension ceremony to godhood to be disrupted in various ways?"
"The simplest way is... publicity."
"Proclaim that the Kingdom of Solomon is a holy kingdom, that King Solomon is the natural king chosen by the fallen God, that he is God's third son, that he is the practitioner of God's will, responsible for spreading God's ideas and bringing the light of salvation to the world, and that the angel kings under God's throne are all willing to serve in the kingdom of God's son."
"The word 'king' is insufficient to convey the nobility of the Son of God. The Son of God, the one who carries out God's will on earth, can call himself Emperor. God bears the name of depravity, so the title of Emperor is naturally Black Emperor. God bears the name of depravity to redeem humanity, and the Emperor, being 'Black,' is willing to cleanse God of his stigma for generations."
Chael made up a story about the three sons of God.
Arodes's expression was as if a firework had exploded in his mind, and whether it was an illusion or not, Arodes heard the Earth Mother's soft laughter. He quickly shook his head, banishing this terrifying thought from his mind.
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate."
This is a tactful piece of advice from the most loyal butler and knight.
Spreading such rumors is really inappropriate. Putting aside the huge blow it could deal to the Black Emperor who is preparing for his ascension to godhood, these rumors could directly offend the entire family of the Fallen God: a colossal true god, four angel kings, and a Black Emperor preparing for ascension to godhood. Even the Earth Mother might not be able to withstand the retaliation.
"It's okay, it's just speculation, embellishment, and praise."
"The Solomon family calls themselves the Black Emperors. Their most stable and core territory is the former parish of the Fallen God. The Angel King of the Fallen God did indeed provide assistance to the Solomon family, and the faith in the Fallen God is also the mainstream faith of the Solomon Empire."
"I think this kind of legend will satisfy those commoners who believe in a fallen God or the Solomon family. This is a powerful alliance. There has never been an emperor in the Northern Continent. Without a reasonable explanation, how will the commoners know that an emperor is more noble than a king?"
Chael rejected Arodes's advice and ordered the rumor to be spread.
He didn't put in much effort; mainly, the fanatical followers of "the fallen God" also thought it made sense.
