When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law

Chapter 624 The Third Divine Enemy of Incompetent Teammates

Earth, Ursus, St. Isaac's Cathedral.

Inside the ancient and elegant sanctuary, a faint crimson hue appeared out of nowhere, forming a vortex half a meter high.

"I didn't expect you to still be here."

The voice of the third enemy of God rang out, and the vortex turned, like an eye, "looking" at the only figure in the sanctuary—a priest who was praying.

The priest did not reply immediately, but continued to finish his prayer before turning to face the vortex and saying, "If I were not here, how would the Great Freedom find me?"

As the priest spoke, his face slowly changed, and his light golden hair turned pale, just like Koche's.

Kosh'e originally intended to wreak havoc on Ursus in hopes of removing the divine will left by Vladimir, but his plan failed because Joseph was killed halfway through.

Now that the divine will has been erased with the help of the power of the gods on earth, Koschae should have achieved his goal and should have left, but unexpectedly he still maintains this identity.

No, judging from what he said, this is probably the only identity that can be used to contact him.

If they lose contact, the Third Divine Enemy will be unable to find them.

"So that's how it is. Your original body recalled all the divided consciousnesses, leaving only you. You've been waiting for so many years, haven't you?" the Third Divine Enemy chuckled.

Kosh'e's soul suffered severe damage and was in need of recovery; therefore, it was certainly not advisable to arbitrarily divide his consciousness at this time.

Moreover, he had been dealing with this injury for decades, which, in the eyes of the Third Divine Enemy, was rather impatient.

It should be noted that when Kosh'e defected to Ursus, the Third Enemy was just a small Karami. Now, the Third Enemy has become a god, even usurping the power of Freedom, while Kosh'e remains the same Kosh'e he always was.

"If you need healing, why leave behind a trace of your consciousness?" the Third Divine Enemy laughed.

"I am injured and unable to receive guests. Please understand." Kosché replied with a smile.

But the real reason is clear to both sides.

Koschae is guarding against a third divine enemy.

Their cooperation was based on mutual benefit, with little personal connection between them. In Kosch's view, nothing in this world was truly irreplaceable, including so-called friendships and even faith.

Having operated covertly in Ursus for so many years and deeply penetrated the power structure of Eastern Xia, he had witnessed far too many people driven mad by greed.

"Heh~"

The Third Divine Enemy gave a meaningful laugh and said, "We've cooperated for many years, and I've guessed your current identity, so why bother hiding it? Don't forget, it was I who personally covered for you seventeen years ago."

Kosch'e's smile faded, and he replied calmly, "How do you know that wasn't an incarnation of mine?"

The person and the vortex face each other, as if two people are gazing at each other across time and space, or rather... confronting each other!

"Oh."

Kosch suddenly laughed, breaking the tense atmosphere, and said, "Forget about this. Great Freedom, since you contacted me, it means the situation has changed again. Tell me about it."

The Third Divine Enemy also laughed, as if everything that had just happened had never existed.

He said, "The situation in the Western Alliance has exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect that neither the incarnation of the God of Man nor Douglas would win, and they couldn't wait for Chaos Fortress to open up the mechanical world. Now the God of War is intercepting Chaos Fortress. I need you to find a way to create trouble in Eastern Xia and force the God of War to return."

"Sure, I do need chaos, but it might not be what you want," Kosche replied.

His priority now is to preserve his main body; he cannot allow his main body to fight for the third divine enemy.

If that were the case, the God of War might have given up the interception and rushed back to destroy Kosh'e first.

That's the reputation of Koche.

If the moment truly comes, Koschae will not hesitate to abandon everything and let the original body leave.

That's enough.

The Third Divine Enemy said, "I will return when the barrier to the mechanical world is broken, and the end of Dongxia will come."

The volume gradually decreased, and the blood-red vortex gradually disappeared, eventually vanishing without a trace.

Koschena's usually calm face now showed a rare hint of gloom.

"You can now communicate with me normally without relying on the resonance of demonic blood, it seems that sealing the Great Freedom has greatly benefited you. But one..."

Koche gave a cold laugh. "You're becoming more and more influenced by the power of Great Freedom, to the point that you're even threatening me directly now."

In the past, even if the Third Enemy were to try to control Koschae, it wouldn't have been so obvious.

But now, he is almost openly probing Kosch's true identity.

This is because the Third Divine Enemy's realm has improved again, and he has gradually become too lazy to pretend anymore. It is also because he has deeply integrated with the power of Great Freedom, and his mind has been affected.

While seemingly sealing away the Great Freedom and bringing the Third Divine Enemy to a state of perfect harmony, it also allowed him to further merge with the power of the Great Freedom, causing a change in his temperament.

Whether it's good or bad, even the people involved probably don't know.

"This collaboration has finally come to an end."

Koche spoke in a low voice, his face once again reverting to its feigned expression.

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean in Xilian, Bai Ze's true form opened his eyes.

..

..

[Report: Voiceprint characteristics of the third divine enemy, Shang Qingyang, have been discovered.]

The communication terminal composed of nanoparticles lit up, and the voice belonging to Luo Shu came out.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the North Star God rang out: [Report, location of the voiceprint confirmed—Ursus.]

"So it really is on Earth..."

Bai Ze exhaled softly, his face showing a hint of fatigue, but also the joy of finally finding something to gain.

His and Ye Liuyun's attack was over. Even if Koschae didn't find evidence to prove that Ye Liuyun was behind it, he should have realized that something was wrong.

These old foxes have empty hearts, hiding countless schemes within.

The more this was the case, the more suspicious he became.

Even without any evidence, as long as there is a possibility, Koschae will treat it as it exists and take action.

What will Kosché do next?

To give orders to subordinates or to use others to make things convenient for oneself.

It's also possible that they're seeking advice or consultation.

There should only be one person qualified to negotiate with Koshche, and that is the third divine enemy, Shang Qingyang.

However, given Koche's cautious nature, he would not let his true form appear, but would instead act through an avatar.

To prevent his true form from being discovered, Kosh'e would have his Earth-based avatar appear to issue orders or negotiate with others.

Even if it's an avatar, they will definitely take precautions to ensure they are not eavesdropped on, remain undetected, or even be manipulated. Furthermore, given Kosh'e's level of cultivation, even if he uttered Bai Ze's name, Bai Ze would be unable to sense it.

Koche should take all necessary precautions; no one in the world should be able to eavesdrop on him.

Even a god couldn't do that.

However, Koschae still needs to speak.

Speaking, or vocalizing, is essentially a vibration, conveying information through the medium of air.

Bai Ze once used the technique of "words become law" to eavesdrop, making the air reproduce the previous vibration frequency and thus reproducing the voices in that area.

This would allow us to eavesdrop on the past from the future.

Now, Bai Ze is resorting to the same old trick, but he doesn't know where Kosh'e's incarnation will be.

Therefore, Bai Ze issued an order using his words to collect the voices of all humans on Earth.

This is something that Bai Ze can absolutely do right now.

He copied the air frequencies left by human voices, converted them into information, and transmitted them to the Luoshu and the North Star God so that they could analyze them and find out the content related to Kosh'e.

This is a completely rudimentary method, but if it can be done, it is the most effective method.

No matter how many precautions Koshge took, Bai Ze could collect information as long as he spoke.

No matter how much he tries to guard against it, he absolutely cannot prevent this.

After that, it all depends on whether the North Star God and the Luo Shu can help.

Fortunately, the North Star God and the Luo Shu did it.

"Then, let's release the contents," Bai Ze said.

【Yes. 】

【Yes. 】

The voices of the North Star God and the Luo Shu rang out simultaneously.

Then, both fell silent for a moment.

In a daze, it seemed as if an invisible confrontation had emerged.

It was a silent battle between the "old guard" and the "newcomer," a struggle for position where there was no room for compromise.

"Please, Senior Luo Shu, go first," said the North Star God in the Eastern Xia language.

"Alright, you go first. You've only just joined our master's ranks and haven't accomplished anything yet, so I won't compete with you for credit."

The Luoshu (洛书) is harmonious and also points out that it once made great contributions to Bai Ze (白泽).

Bai Ze: "..."

Goodness, neither of my two wives were as shrewish as you guys back then; they were both ready to fight right away.

Many thanks, Senior Luo Shu.

Polaris spoke in a gentle voice, and then released the selected information.

Bai Ze overheard a brief yet rich conversation, a dialogue between Kosh'e's incarnation and the Third Divine Enemy.

Bad news: Koche is indeed cautious enough that he doesn't consult with anyone.

Good news: The third enemy has found Kosch'e; the third enemy has become a liability.

The third enemy also revealed a crucial piece of information in his words.

Although Kosh'e didn't continue with the third god's words, it was enough for Bai Ze to investigate further.

"Seventeen years ago... back then, the Third Divine Enemy was already cooperating with Kosh'e," Bai Ze muttered to himself.

The Third Divine Enemy was severely injured by the Great Freedom thirty-two years ago. After an unknown period of time, the Third Divine Enemy fell into depravity, reversing his own power and his upright and unyielding state of mind.

After that, the Third Divine Enemy remained hidden for many years, secretly corrupting practitioners of the "Northern Emperor's Black Law" and doing countless unspeakable things.

Kosh'e had also been lurking in the Eastern Xia for many years.

Bai Ze speculated that Kosh'e might have already infiltrated Dongxia at the end of the chaotic era.

That period was the easiest time for them to infiltrate Dongxia.

Then at some point, two spies, or parasites, who were lurking in Dongxia made contact and, after a series of tests and clashes, began to cooperate.

"Luo Shu, check if the Third Divine Enemy emerged from seclusion seventeen years ago," Bai Ze immediately ordered.

The Third Divine Enemy's seclusion was both for healing and for suppressing space to prevent Dongxia from intersecting with other worlds.

This is why Dongxia has very few spatial passages, and why Wanyi trains always take detours.

He would keep a record of each time he crossed the border.

During this period, the space of Dongxia may rebound due to years of suppression, resulting in abnormal fluctuations.

This is usually the busiest time for Taiyi Academy, and they often work overtime with organizations like Xinggong Chenyi Society.

【Yes. 】

Luo Shu's voice carried the superiority of an "old minister," with an arrogance that seemed to ask, "Can the North Star do it?"

Immediately, the relevant records from seventeen years ago appeared on the communication terminal.

[The third divine enemy did indeed emerge from seclusion once seventeen years ago, when a great war broke out between the God of War and the God of Man in the Mountain and Sea Realm after a three-year standoff.] Luo Shu reported.

As expected. Bai Ze also felt that this was exactly what he had anticipated.

Since the emergence of the third divine enemy would cause a rebound in spatial fluctuations, he would most likely emerge openly rather than secretly leave his secluded place.

If the Taiyi Academy detects any abnormal spatial reactions when the cultivator secretly leaves seclusion, it could lead to the exposure of the third divine enemy.

It should be noted that the character of the Third Divine Enemy is "selfless," and there is no such thing as the Third Divine Enemy secretly leaving seclusion without telling anyone.

Since they have left the customs, they will leave a record.

"Time and place," Bai Ze continued.

[From July 3rd to July 6th, I spent one day overseeing the Martial Arts Association headquarters, one day inspecting the Shennongjia Space Passage, and one day patrolling the East China Sea.]

The God of War and the God of Man had been locked in a standoff at the Immortal Volcano for three years, and the ensuing great battle might have given outsiders the impression that there was an opportunity to attack Dongxia.

The third divine enemy emerged from seclusion at this time to conduct inspections, also in order to deter outsiders.

There is a spatial passage between the mountains and the sea in Shennongjia, and there is a steel continent with a general stationed in the East China Sea. It is reasonable to inspect these two places.

No one would have expected that the third enemy would actually help Koschae during this process.

"Luo Shu, give me the specific patrol route."

Bai Ze immediately gave the order.

The existence of the divine enemy is as conspicuous as the sun, and the third divine enemy will be accompanied by someone throughout his inspection of Eastern Xia.

This process will still leave a record, which can be retrieved for review.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the third enemy may have quietly left for a period of time.

Given the strength of the Third God Enemy, no one in Dongxia at the time could detect what he had done, even though those people were right next to him.

But it doesn't matter, time will tell Bai Ze the answer.

Bai Ze personally investigated the past, determined not to fail to find clues about the third divine enemy or to catch Kosh'e in the act.

"We should be meeting formally soon, Koche."

The operation proceeds along two parallel lines: on one hand, they search for Kosh'e's true form on the other side of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and on the other hand, they examine the past on Earth.

If he can't find Koche, then he's won.

You're already this amazing, what can I say?

The only way to kill you is to wait until you've mastered your divine skills and become a god-like enemy, then slap you to death.
