The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

A partner in justice?

Ha ha ha.

Glendon gave Tracy one last look, then turned and left.

"My daughter..."

“If you really don’t want to take this step, as your father, I will help you.”

"Don't hate me when the time comes."

"Everything is for the glory of the Auguston Empire."

The footsteps faded into the distance. Tracy glanced at the dagger at her feet, then glanced behind her in the direction where Grandon had disappeared, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

Guranden...

Or rather, the entire Thiele family was burdened with immense sins from birth.

Having already learned the empire's greatest secret, or rather, the secret of the entire continent, she no longer felt any extra emotions.

The only thing that kept her standing here was that person.

She wanted to see him one last time before everything turned into tragedy.

Just one glance.

That was her last attachment to this mortal world.

The darkness on the horizon drew ever closer, and even the outlines of the apostles of God gradually became clearer.

However, the light still did not appear.

A tear slid down from the corner of her eye.

"Ryan..."

------

On the other side, the two apostles of God were already very close.

Both of the apostles of the gods were about ten meters tall, with jet-black bodies and identical goat-like eyes.

On his chest were two distinct sacred symbols.

Their eyes were devoid of any emotion; they simply stared indifferently at Ryan, the puppeteer, and the raven, who were confronting them not far away.

The puppeteer and the raven were covered in cold sweat. If it weren't for the karmic fire burning deep within their souls, they would have run away long ago.

They exchanged a glance, then went to attack!

The puppeteer displays his unique power: spatial magic and remote control.

A huge rift appeared behind the puppeteer, and then a puppet the same height as the apostle of God walked out from it.

Its body was covered with countless fine threads for manipulation, and behind the crack was a very short figure.

His eyes, hidden beneath the hood, gleamed with a cold light.

The ravens exploded instantly, turning into a sky full of black feathers.

Countless blood-red eyes stared intently at the apostle of God.

Once the decision to take action is made, there must be no mercy!

When you make a move, it must be a killing blow!

The ravens and the puppeteers launched an attack.

Meanwhile, Ryan also spotted another apostle of God and pounced on him!

Black karmic fire rapidly condensed in his palm, then surged forth from beneath the feet of the apostle of God, burning fiercely!

The raging fire, which would not cease until its target was completely consumed, devoured the apostle of God in the blink of an eye.

Just like the previous confrontation with the disaster walkers.

Ryan dared not be negligent and urged his magic to make the karmic fire burn even more fiercely.

But the next second, a beam of black light emanated from the apostle's chest, and the previously aimless black particles immediately converged towards the apostle!

Immediately afterwards, all the black karmic fire was absorbed into the sacred text on the apostle's chest!

When the flames subsided, not a single burn mark remained on the apostle's body.

The apostle clenched his fist, and the karmic fire transformed into his power, burning fiercely on his fist. Then he threw a punch at Ryan!

W-what? !

Ryan used his Radiant Flame magic to block the apostle's attack and repel it fiercely.

However, the shock in his heart lingered for a long time.

How is it possible that the karmic fire was absorbed without harming the apostles?

"Don't be surprised."

At that moment, a voice came from the depths of her soul; it was the voice of a mature woman.

It’s Yan Fei.

“Nothing is completely immune to karmic fire. He simply used the sacred runes on his chest to absorb the karmic fire into his body before it could take effect.”

Ryan dodged the apostle's attacks while simultaneously conversing with Yan Fei in his mind.

"But is there no way to extinguish the karmic fire except for me to take it back myself?"

"How did he do that?"

After a moment of hesitation, Yanling, who hadn't shown her face for a long time, interrupted their conversation.

"That's no need to say it!"

"Of course it's the sacred inscription on his chest!"

"Since the karmic fire will neither be extinguished nor disappear, there is only one possibility. The sacred script possessed by that apostle has the ability to connect to another dimension."

Yan Fei let out a cold snort, seemingly displeased that Yan Ling's sudden interruption had disrupted her time with Ryan.

“It’s such a simple thing, Ryan would have figured it out without you saying it.”

"It's unnecessary."

Yanling was naturally unhappy after being rebuked like that.

"Hey!"

"I kindly reminded you, and you, woman, actually turned the tables on me!"

"If you ask me, the karmic fire that can be teleported away by the Holy Inscription is nothing special, not as good as my Radiant Flame!"

The moment the words left her lips, Flame Spirit materialized, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that hurtled towards the Apostle.

Countless radiant fists slammed into the apostle's body, the shockwaves nearly causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

However, the results of these Blazing Flames Fists, like the Karmic Fire, were absorbed into the Holy Scripture.

"Humph."

"A reckless and ignorant fool."

Yan Fei didn't hold back in criticizing Yan Ling, which only fueled Yan Ling's anger. After uttering a vicious curse, Yan Ling conjured a giant sword of radiant flames and launched another attack.

However, this time, the result was no different.

It was still completely absorbed.

In his mind, Yanling and Yanfei kept bickering, but through these attacks and the details shown in the process, Ryan vaguely discovered the operating mechanism behind the Holy Script.

Yan Fei is right about Yan Ling.

However, Ryan used a more vivid word to describe it.

That is... devouring.

And the sacred texts that this apostle possessed were exactly as Ryan had guessed.

It is called "binge eating".

Chapter 274 The Way to Break the Stalemate: The Infinitely Expanding Sugar-Coated Pill

Sometimes, the simpler the principle behind something, the harder it is to break through.

The sacred texts represent the most primal, yet almost unsolvable, abilities.

Apostle - Gluttony.

The power of the sacred text on its chest is to create a nearly infinite space within the apostle's body, and then devour everything from the outside world.

As for where the things that were devoured went and what they would become, even the apostles themselves did not know.

The key to defeating the apostle lies in deciphering the sacred inscription on its chest!

After deciding on his strategy, Ryan did not attack immediately, but began to observe while probing with small-scale, high-precision magic.

Flame Spirit's speed was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to catch it, and one powerful radiant flame spell after another bombarded the apostle from the blind spot of his vision.

On the other side, Ryan's magic never stopped; he continuously unleashed fireballs and fire serpents, bombarding the apostle relentlessly.

Unfortunately, these attacks did not produce any desirable results.

Regardless of where the magic comes from, it is completely absorbed by the holy runes on the apostle's chest the moment it touches the apostle's skin.

Flame Spirit is straightforward and doesn't know how to hold back when releasing magic; every spell is cast with full force.

Therefore, not long after the battle began, the magic power within her body was being consumed continuously, at such a rapid pace that even the Flame Spirit's body began to become transparent.

The Flame Spirit's true form is inextricably linked to Ryan. Her magic is Ryan's magic.

Ryan could already sense the starting point of the magic circuit, where magic power was being continuously drained away.

If this continues, it will inevitably evolve into a contest between Ryan's magical reserves and the size of the space within the Apostle's body. And in the end, Ryan will surely be the loser.

After all, his magic is not inexhaustible.

Just then, Ryan noticed another apostle heading towards the capital.
