Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 460 Conversion
"Wake up, wake up!"

The hurried calling and violent shaking finally brought the Third Prince back to his senses from his confusion. There was a brief gap in his memory and he looked around in a daze. After calming down, he finally remembered that he was in the secret base set up by Chenxi in the Holy City.

The last fragment of memory lingers on the light shining from outside the window.

And before that...

He and Coyote Twelve were setting up the summoning ritual according to Dawn's instructions.

“This is a consciousness synchronizer.”

"You are hurt!?"

The Third Prince suddenly noticed the cut on Chenxi's arm. Coyote Twelve, who was supposed to help her with the summoning ceremony, was lying on the ground unconscious.

Part of the summoning ritual showed obvious signs of sabotage.

Chenxi's face was pale. The wound seemed to have brought a huge burden to her body. Dazzling and burning energy revived on the surface of the wound and kept penetrating into the wound.

At the same time, the Third Prince caught a glimpse of the scene on the other side of the crystal. Those high-ranking corporate executives who made no secret of their sarcasm and mockery of the Pope all knelt on their knees and prostrated themselves before the Golden Throne. Even the armor of the Longbranch Guards was stained with the mark of the Church of Ashes. They stood there as witnesses, welcoming the arrival of a new era.

"Now is not the time to worry about me."

Chenxi's voice became intermittent, and her consciousness seemed to be in a fierce struggle with some invisible thing. "The impact on that Cowboy Bebop was more serious than I thought. Now you are the only one left. Before you lose consciousness next time, you must fill the gap in the summoning ceremony."

The skeleton was placed in the center of the ritual circle, and Chenxi held a torch burning with a faint green flame.

The green flame in the skull's eye sockets was like a candle in the wind, and it could be extinguished at any time.

The third prince had no doubts and took action immediately.

To complete the damaged parts of the ritual array, Chenxi said that the summoning ritual requires a huge amount of energy and needs their cooperation to complete.

The third prince understood what "the next time you lose consciousness" meant, which was why the Pope let them leave.

As long as they remain in the star zone where the Church of Embers is located, the "blessing of the Sun King" will be bestowed upon each of them. Even Dawn, who has a deep hatred for the Church of Embers, will find it difficult to resist being assimilated for a long time.

After the next loss of consciousness, they will be like the people on the other side of the crystal.

Give up hatred, give up each other's identities and positions, and live only for the same will.

Just like the former residents of the Embers Empire.

Perhaps it won't be long before the entire universe will be left with only one sound.

And now, the only key to changing all this may be in their hands.

The third prince gritted his teeth. Even though his heart was in a mess, he had to keep his mind clear at all times. He had to carefully arrange every step of the summoning ceremony. They only had one chance.

The complete hexagram magic circle lights up the mark representing the void demon.

The flow of time seemed to slow down extremely at this moment. The Third Prince had never been so clear-headed as he was now. Everything he was going to do next kept appearing in his mind.

Perhaps it was more than ten seconds, or perhaps several minutes, and he was completely unaware of the sweat flowing down. When the hexagram magic array was once again illuminated by the faint green light, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

So far, he has witnessed many miracles created by Duan Mingyuan, so this time will be no exception.

As long as they can bring Duan Mingyuan back here from the Land of Eternal Night, all problems will be solved.

"Chenxi, open the portal quickly!" the third prince said almost in a shouting tone.

Chenxi also took action immediately. The torch in her hand pointed to the skull at the center of the summoning ceremony. As long as the energy flowing in her body was transferred into the center of the formation, the channel connecting the two planes would be opened again.

However, the next moment, Chenxi's pupils shrank.

The flames in the skull's eye sockets were indeed lit, but this time, they were burning with a holy and majestic golden flame, and the summoning ritual also burst out with the same light at the same time.

"...Chenxi?"

The third prince noticed something was wrong and tried to call the other person's name, but all he got in response was a dull look.

Under the baptism of light, the wound on Chenxi's arm was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After the skin returned to normal, a dark golden line extended along the skin of her arm into the sleeve.

"well done."

The omnipresent voice permeated the room. It came from all directions and was everywhere. "You have sealed the road to the land of eternal night with your own hands. To reward your merits, from now on you will get rid of your status as a sinner and live under the sun as an apostle."

"For... the Sun King."

Chenxi's voice lost its emotional color and became monotonous and rigid as a machine.

The remaining consciousness seemed to be making a final struggle, but all the counterattacks eventually turned into a golden tear sliding down from the corner of the eye.

Then, the last thought of resistance disappeared.

"As for you."

The majestic voice turned to the third prince.

There were only three people in the room, but the third prince felt like he was being scrutinized by a pair of eyes.

From the outside to the inside, everything is exposed under the gaze.

"I said, nothing that happens here can escape my eyes, everything you do, and every tiny thought in your heart."

This was the last sound the Third Prince heard.

After that, there was a long silence.

The cathedral, the holy city, and even the entire star region fell silent at this moment.

Because God wants this world to be quiet.

The Pope observed everything that was happening. With the reinforcing of the seal, the new fate had become an established fact, and it also declared that the long-cherished wish of the Sun King and the First Demon had come to an end in this era. All threats were once again locked up in the dark plane where even the sun could not shine.

The long-cherished scene became a reality, and the Pope thought he would be ecstatic, but he felt neither sad nor happy.

God's wishes will definitely come true, this is an immutable law in the world.

After thousands of years, the world finally returned to its original appearance.

It was a strange and long journey, but as the preacher who wrote Genesis firmly believed, the Sun King never left them.

Thousands of years later, the Sun King returns to them once again on the eve of humanity falling into darkness again.
