He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Seeing that Xie Bai had really agreed, Maomao couldn't help but want to hug him tightly to vent her emotions.

But reason still pulled her back.

It's obviously a very low-class thing to hug and cuddle with a little girl when you're not very familiar with her.

No matter what, she's not some perverted lolicon.

Thinking of this, the cat turned to look at the taro balls.

Taro Ball quickly understood what the cat meant.

He then looked at Xie Bai, whose eyes held a meaningful look, and said calmly.

"We are honored that you agreed."

He paused for a moment, as if he had received some kind of message.

"It's about time we set off. The location is at the foot of a mountain somewhere in the Heavenly Mountain. Please follow us, senior."

"Okay~"

Xie Bai tilted his head and smiled softly.

She then took Azsarax's little hand and led her to the cat's side.

"From now on, please take good care of me~"

Seeing the two incredibly cute little girls holding hands, the cat's heart almost stopped beating with excitement.

At this point, she no longer cared about the topic of "who is cuter".

For cats, these two little girls may each have their own unique charm.

But as long as they are together like this, it brings her double the happiness.

Undisputed.

At this point, Azsarax was still somewhat bewildered.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, they saw the almost identical "everything is under control" expressions in Xie Bai and Yu Yuan's eyes, as well as the barely concealed excitement in the cat's eyes.

She felt... that nothing major had happened.

And so, Xie Bai followed Yu Yuan and her group to their destination.

……

At this time, Thanatos was still handling post-war cleanup matters on the Void Dragon.

He carefully reviewed every message that came from the Northern Lord.

"General, these are eight weapons collected from the battlefield."

A northern lord respectfully presented the report.

"According to those holy believers, these are the weapons of the Seraphim Samael. Please take a look."

Upon hearing the news, Thanatos looked up.

Sword, spear, hammer, bow, shield, staff, flail, horn.

Eight ancient mythical weapons with a rustic texture are neatly arranged on the table, like eight ancient war gods who have been through many battles.

"Just leave it there. We'll have Streif come and get it later."

Thanatos raised his hand, signaling the other party to step back.

"By the way, General. Besides that, there is one more thing I need to report."

Upon hearing this, Thanatos slightly raised his eyes.

"explain."

After receiving the signal, the northern lord continued.

"According to the intelligence of those holy believers, only two of the four archangels possess physical weapons."

He pointed to the eight weapons on the table.

"One of them is this Throne Angel."

"And the other one is Raphael, the Archangel of Power who rules the night. According to my memories of that battle, he was wielding a massive black sword..."

He paused, his tone becoming hesitant.

"But in the actual search, we did not find the weapon of that Archangel. The people on the expeditionary fleet also claimed that they did not find the weapon."

Upon hearing this, Thanatos frowned slightly.

The people on the expeditionary fleet are my allies, and what's more, the one currently in command of the expeditionary fleet is Atoris, who has a close relationship with my lord.

They couldn't possibly have kept that weapon a secret from us.

But the Archangel's black greatsword should be very conspicuous, and it shouldn't be something that even the lords of the North couldn't find.

That can only mean one thing.

"Someone else infiltrated the battlefield and took the black greatsword when we weren't looking."

Just as Thanatos was lost in thought, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Roland?"

Thanatos glanced at the approaching gaunt old man and gave a wink to the Northern Lord beside him.

After understanding the situation, the northern lord wisely left the room.

Only Thanatos and Roland remained in the room.

The other person found a chair and sat down, their posture casual yet carrying a hint of scrutiny.

"Sir, should I address you as the Grey General of the Northern Empire... or as a Death Knight?"

Thanatos narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing Roland's words.

Since the battle with the archangel, almost everyone has realized that Thanatos possesses the power to control death.

For Roland, who is currently the world's strongest alchemist, this was clearly a very obvious message.

With just a little reasoning based on his own knowledge, his identity could be found in ancient documents.

Thanatos didn't care about this.

"You can call Master Roland whatever you like. His sudden appearance suggests he has something else to discuss, right?"

Roland nodded.

"Exactly. Since you don't mind what I just said, I won't beat around the bush. During my search, I discovered the contract that the Holy Pope used to bind the angels..."

He paused, his expression turning serious.

"That contract contains the power of chaos."

chaos?

It's them again.

Thanatos's expression hardened.

"You mean the Chaos Church members are involved too?"

"Yes."

Roland nodded affirmatively.

A clue began to form in Thanatos's mind.

That would explain where the black greatsword that the Angel of Power lost went.

But is the other side fueling this battle from behind the scenes, with the sole aim of obtaining an angel's weapon?

For a moment, Thanatos was somewhat unable to fathom the intentions of the Church of Chaos.

"However, apart from that, we haven't seen them active anywhere else, so there's no need to worry too much."

Thanatos never took such a character, who remained hidden in the shadows from beginning to end, too seriously.

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

In response to Thanatos's question, Roland slowly took something out of his pocket.

It was a tattered page of a book, with a faint, almost imperceptible golden light flowing along its edges.

A page from the Book of Truth

"This is what I gave up when I made the deal with Brandon."

Roland's voice was calm.

"Brandon said he would pass it on to that person. That person just made an appearance, and according to what Brandon told me, you trust her quite a bit..."

He handed the tattered page to Thanatos.

"It would be better if you passed it on to me."

Thanatos's pupils constricted the moment he saw the fragments of the truth.

He quickly regained his composure and solemnly accepted the fragment of the truth.

"Yes, I will definitely pass it on to my Lord when I have the chance."

He carefully put away the tattered pages and stood up.

"However, it's about time now. Those who are without destiny should all be ready. Master Roland, please come with me to the foot of the mountain to open the passage to the World Tree."

"it is good."

Roland nodded and followed Thanatos away from there.

Before leaving, Thanatos suddenly turned his head and glanced at a corner with a seemingly casual look.

He paused, as if he was thinking about something.

He then looked away and left.

After the two left, a petite golden figure emerged from the shadows.

Atoris.

Standing next to her was Cecilia, who looked exhausted.

"Um... I mean, Lady Sword Princess."

Cecilia's voice carried a hint of sorrow.

"Could you please not make me do such dangerous things next time? It's really tiring to bring an extra person along for cover..."

"Besides, we're all supposed to be part of the Wheel of Fortune, right? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to be eavesdropping from the shadows like this?"
