Hyperdimensional Player

Chapter 418 Marching into the Abyss
Angels taste really good.

Unlike the mortals of the material plane, the angels of the higher planes possess incredibly resilient physiques, their heat containing passion, just as the moist earth never dries up.

Duncan slowly opened his eyes, and the aura emanating from him gradually dissipated, leaving only the priests who corresponded to the divine being able to faintly sense the divine grace.

As he walked out of the room, the messengers of joy who saw him in the Temple of Pleasure involuntarily knelt on one knee, humbly bowing their heads. Even the clown who had just returned stared in shock at Duncan's back and silently knelt on one knee.

The divine grace bestowed upon Lord Duncan-Starfall has become even stronger!
Even the Great Bliss Mother, at this moment, might not be as favored as the man before her.

The goddess of joy, Lira, seems to have found a new love.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa, the Great Mother of Bliss, the former lover of the goddess of joy, Li'erla, lay languidly on a lavish sofa, attended by several beautiful maids, with Elvia-Huanmeng, a beautiful half-elf poet, beside her.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps.

As if she had heard something, the Mother of Great Bliss immediately sat up. Her expression was no longer so lazy, and there was even a hint of tension. Dealing with the messengers from all sides had left her exhausted. Even though she loved liveliness and noise, she couldn't help but want to hide away and enjoy some peace and quiet.

To put it bluntly, the Mother of Great Bliss is someone who enjoys blessings whether she has them or not, and she's unwilling to lower her quality of life in the slightest.

The purpose of life is to enjoy life.

"The Great Godmother".

"Lord Duncan is here." Serena Ravenne Shadowwalker hurried over.

At this moment, the Mother of Great Bliss got up, tidied her appearance, showed her most beautiful side, and then walked warmly to the door to greet the man.

The moment she saw Duncan, the Great Bliss Mother trembled, then humbly lowered her head and said, "My Lord."

Divine grace.

The favor of the goddess of joy, Lira.

This was originally a divine blessing that belonged to her, but now it has descended upon Duncan.

At this moment, she even suspected that Duncan had been favored by the goddess of joy, because when Lillia first slept with her, her mortal body had also gained a dazzling radiance.

In fact, Duncan did not. It is not so easy for someone like Duncan to stand up and challenge a goddess, especially a true goddess.

But if it's just ordinary divine power, with his current strength, he could give it a try.

Duncan calmly gazed at the Great Mother of Bliss before him. Her strength had actually increased during this time, which was simply unbelievable. As expected, the Great Mother of Bliss needed to be pushed to improve. If left unchecked, someone like her could ruin herself.

Duncan's encouragement infused the Mother of Great Bliss with a surge of forward momentum and abundant energy.

"The Lady's Oracle."

Duncan looked down at the Great Mother of Bliss before him. As his words fell, the Great Mother of Bliss trembled. Then, as if she had guessed something, she looked up at the man before her and slowly knelt down. This was the first time she had knelt down voluntarily outside of moments of pleasure, and she knelt before Duncan to listen to the oracle of the goddess of pleasure.

The offensive and defensive roles have completely shifted, and Duncan's status has now surpassed that of the current "Mother of Bliss".

As the Mother of Great Bliss took the lead in kneeling, the other Pleasure Attendants beside her, including Serenaa Shadow and Elivia Dream, quickly knelt before Duncan as well.

"From this moment on, the Joyful Church will fully assist the Wealth Church in rescuing the Goddess of Wealth, Woking."

Duncan's words represented the will of those high and mighty gods. Since the Great Mother of Bliss could not carry the banner of the church, Duncan naturally had to take over completely. His current substantive power was equivalent to that of the Great Father of the Church of Joy.

After listening to Duncan's divine pronouncement, the Mother of Great Bliss slowly rose and stood humbly beside him, having clearly stated her position.

If before, Duncan was the man hidden behind the scenes, now he is the visible leader of the church.

"Come with me."

“Summon the high-ranking members of the Joyful Church; let’s go see the Five Fierce Women.”

Duncan calmly turned and left. As he disappeared, the Mother of Great Bliss hurriedly gave instructions to the others and then quickly followed the man's steps. However, in the past, she always walked at the front, standing in the center where everyone was watching, but today she carefully lagged behind by half a step.

The entire high-ranking members of the Church of Joy were rushing over, and Duncan also met another High Priestess of Joy - Alicia Starfall, a tall woman with a trace of elven blood.

The Church of Wealth.

In front of the magnificent temple, Della Isgil, dressed in a gorgeous golden robe, stood in the center, gazing at the man approaching from a distance. Her gaze was slightly complicated, even revealing a hint of regret. In contrast, Sarala beside her was excited, her beautiful face flushed with excitement.

She was right.

At the most crucial moment, she forged a close alliance with Duncan.

Now, looking at the man walking at the front of the procession and the Great Blissful Mother who was half a step behind him, even if Della Isgil wanted to offer herself to him, she would be inferior. Her status in that man's heart could not possibly be higher than hers.

A single early advantage means staying ahead in every step.

As Duncan arrived in front of the Temple of Fortune, Sara also inadvertently took half a step forward, almost standing at the same level as Della Isgeel.

The bishops of the Church of Wealth present were all shrewd individuals. Seeing Sarala warmly and affectionately step forward to greet them, they already guessed what was going on.

This guy is probably closer to Duncan than he is.

Della Isgil remained composed and elegant. She first bowed to Duncan, then nodded to the Great Mother of Bliss and the High Priest of Bliss before welcoming them into the temple.

At least for now, she still has the upper hand over her best friend Sarella, and she still has a chance to surpass her.

Inside this extremely luxurious temple, Duncan entered the council chamber of the Upper Gold Bishop.

After dismissing everyone else, only a handful of people remained, mostly archbishops and the backbone and core believers of the church.

"I was summoned by the goddesses of the Bright Waters and briefly entered their kingdom."

Duncan looked around at everyone and nodded slightly to Mrs. Thursta-White beside him. This lady was different from before; she had an extra radiant aura about her. This was the blessing of Shuni, who had now been promoted to the position of Bishop Priestess of Dragon Bay.

This means that the divine is beginning to exert its full power on the secular level.

Upon hearing Duncan's words, the bishops of the Church of Wealth present all paused, as if realizing something, and Della Isgeel clenched her fists nervously.

Duncan looked around and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Fortune is currently trapped in an abyss."

"But we still don't know which floor it's on."

"The goddesses of the Bright Water Realm hope that we will do everything in our power to rescue Lady Wealth."

Finally, there's news.

Two of the five fierce women in front of him were breathing heavily, staring intently at the man before him. After defeating many powerful figures along the way, he had finally infiltrated the core of the Pleasure Cult and obtained news of the Goddess of Wealth.

“I’ll organize a rescue operation immediately,” Della Isge said urgently.

Duncan glanced at her and said calmly, "Even if a lady entrusts the Goddess of Wealth to the Goddess of Joy, it's not something an ordinary person can handle."

"The place that can trap her must be an enemy that ordinary adventurers can handle."

Upon hearing Duncan's words, Della Isgeel immediately shut up. The saints of the gods are extremely powerful, and the experts raised by the Church of Wealth may not be able to handle it.

The entire council chamber was deathly silent.

Duncan looked down at the others present, his gaze sweeping over the Great Mother of Bliss and the High Priestess of Joy, before settling on the second of the Five Fierce Women, and said in a deep voice, "Della Isgil."

Della Isgil immediately stood up and said, "What are your orders, sir?"

Her current status is below Duncan's; she has gone from a behind-the-scenes financier to a cash cow, and can even stand up and kick.

Duncan said calmly, "Return to the Temple of the Golden Tower immediately."

“I need you to recall the other five members of the Five Fierce Women, and at the same time leave Archbishop St. Coin there to stabilize the Church’s rear.”

The Archbishop of St. Coin is very old.

His expedition to the abyss is probably not feasible.

This was to concentrate the entire power of the Church of Wealth to rescue the lady. Della Isgil immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Yes."

The gathering of the five fierce women represents the new generation of power within the entire Wealth Church.

After Duncan finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Sarala beside him and slowly said, "Sarah Tybranton."

Sarala immediately stood up and said, "Yes, sir."

After a moment's thought, Duncan said, "You're in charge of contacting all trustworthy spellcasters, especially powerful mages skilled in teleportation spells. Also, do the task I assigned you at all costs."

Holy Avengers.

Sarala knew what it was: the man before her wanted the Eye of Tyr and wanted to use it to reforge the Holy Avenger.

Sarala nodded and said, "I'll take care of it right away."

After giving instructions to the two Upper Gold Bishops, Duncan turned his gaze to the Great Blissful Mother beside him and said in a deep voice, "Great Mother, you are responsible for contacting all our allies in Serganth."

"I want their full support to make me the new president."

Speaking of which.

Duncan glanced at Della Isge beside him and said, "Help me obtain the status of a tycoon."

Della Isgeel immediately replied, "That's easy."

“We have confiscated Silver Tongue-Fitch’s assets, which can be transferred to your name at any time. Legally speaking, you are now the new tycoon of Sergant.”

In Sergant, secular power was held by a plutocracy.

The highest governing body is the President.

Now that Duncan has come out into the open, his first step is to acquire the status of a tycoon, and then, as the Grand President of Sergan, to influence the entire situation in Zambia.

The manpower and resources required to break into the bottomless abyss are enormous.

Duncan wants to drag all the tycoons onto his chariot and squeeze every last bit of value out of them.

After giving instructions to the Mother of Great Bliss, Duncan turned his gaze to Alicia Starfall, the High Priestess of Joy, one of the few factions in the Church of Joy with some fighting power, and instructed, "The High Priestess will temporarily lead the Crimson Actors."

"I need you to garner support from some other churches."

"I will give you the specific list later."

Duncan plans to send the Joyful Messenger to handle diplomacy. Lady Fortune still has some allies, and some benevolent cults might send powerful figures to assist her.

From a pastor's perspective, neither the Wealth Church nor the Pleasure Church is qualified.

Duncan needs a truly powerful pastor!

The first one to consider was the pastor of the crucified god, Ilmat. His church liked to help the poor, and helping the poor required money the most. The Wealth Church happened to be very wealthy.

Even if it means throwing money at him, Duncan is determined to bring over a top-tier legendary priest from the Forgotten Realms.

Shake people!

Calling for backup like crazy!

If we don't use the money now, are we going to wait for it to be used as war reparations in the future?

Duncan's gaze fell on Mrs. Thursta-White, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Mrs. Thursta."

Mrs. Cesta-White rose gracefully and smiled, "What are your orders, sir?"

Duncan paused for a moment and said, "I need the support of the Church of Love's allies, especially the allies of the Comanso Forest."

"You'd better find me a few dragons."

The goddess of love has a lot of influence.

The powerful, chaotic yet benevolent divine force, even if outsiders consider her frivolous, still deserves some respect. Duncan needs a dragon legion to pave the way; when attacking a certain level of the Abyss, it would be best to directly blast a bloody path with dragon breath.

Upon hearing Duncan's words, Mrs. Cesta-White hesitated slightly, then said softly, "Sir, this may require some money."

"A huge sum of money!"

The dragon had a very greedy appetite.

Upon hearing her words, Duncan smiled and calmly said, "Have the Great Godmother give you the key to the vault."

"I want to forge a Dragon Pact with them!"

Dragon Alliance.

At the cost of a massive amount of money, one can directly summon a giant dragon to aid them.

This covenant is a summoning spell, but it doesn't require very high spellcasting ability. It's just quite expensive. If you're willing to spend money and have enough connections, you might even have a chance to summon an ancient dragon.

Since it's not my own money, using the wealth of the church to rescue the goddess of wealth is a good deal.

After receiving Duncan's promise, Mrs. Thursta White breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Even the goddess of love isn't that hard-edged; at least not as hard as a heavy piece of gold.

Relying solely on one's reputation may not be enough to motivate someone to work hard.

But it's different if you pay money.

If she's willing to spend the money, she might even have a chance to win a favorite of the Platinum Dragon God, though that would definitely be an astronomical sum.

It's like recruiting mercenaries. If you're willing to spend hundreds of millions, or even billions or tens of billions, you can absolutely drive any potential employer crazy.

After dealing with all of this.

Duncan arrived at Sarella's secret mansion, where a slightly hunched human mage was curiously observing him.

——Shadow Eater - Victor (Clone Technique) (5-star Silver Gray).

The mage's cloning spell.

This spell can create a lifeless copy of a creature. If the original creature is killed, its soul will immediately transfer to its copy and be resurrected.

However, in recent years, cloning technology has gone awry because some people have cloned themselves.

In the future, there will be mages who die from their own clones.

"Mr. Duncan."

Even the notorious mad mage, Shadow Eater Victor, had to bow his head respectfully and ask, "What are your orders?"

Even the top leaders of the two major churches have to behave themselves.

Duncan looked at him calmly, then said, "Open a portal to the abyss."

"You'll come with me."

Duncan needs to gather information to find the exact location where the goddess of fortune, Woking, is trapped, and even to find a passage across the many tributaries of the River Styx to enter the lower levels of the bottomless abyss, in preparation for the later teleportation of the dragon army.

Shadow Eater Victor asked cautiously, "Which floor does Your Excellency wish to go to?"

Duncan calmly said, "Broken Domain, Red Shroud."

Rescuing a trapped goddess of wealth is no easy task. Duncan might even need to instigate a war in the Abyss and lure other demon lords to attack the Dark Lord. Only in this way can he alleviate most of the pressure and maximize his chances of success.

The demons of the bottomless abyss are numerous and powerful, like a swarm of locusts. No matter how many people you send in for a frontal assault, you will always be outnumbered.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

Duncan's first consideration was the weaker succubus queen, Mechanost, and the red shroud happened to be related to the succubus queen.

In this battle, he not only has to rescue the Goddess of Wealth, but also find a way to kill a few demon lords to test his skills.

"Replace the class panel".

"Transform into a [Dark Guardian]!"

As Duncan changed his class level, he also exuded an aura of evil. The evil aura of the Dark Guardian allowed him to avoid a lot of trouble in the Abyss.
