Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

"I'm sorry, Bishop Krend, but the doctor said I have a naturally weak stomach and can only live off women."

. . .

That kid is fucking shameless!

Seeing the other party's smug expression, Krend really wanted to strip Chu Ci naked and hang him at the entrance of the Vatican as an example to others.

But if I really do that, my dear granddaughter will probably be unhappy. Sigh.

Withdrawing his oppressive aura, Krend approached Chu Ci with the small metal ball.

"Alright, come with me. If you want my approval, then Bors must know something about you that can prove yourself. In that case, I don't mind giving that old man some face. But remember this! Once the mission is complete, you must leave the Vatican immediately and never approach my granddaughter again, understand?"

You want me to leave? I'd love to!

"It's a deal!"

Chu Ci agreed with a serious expression.

Huh? What does this kid mean? He's so eager to leave? Could it be that he looks down on Mina?! This guy!

Krend stared at him with hostility.

Seeing this expression, Chu Ci couldn't help but mentally complain.

"No? Why are you looking at me like that! Didn't I already agree to your request? Sigh, old people's minds are so hard to fathom."

After a moment, Krend shifted his gaze away from Chu Ci.

Fine, as long as this guy doesn't run off with Mina, I can accept anything else.

After figuring everything out, he strode forward, and Chu Ci immediately followed.

Krend pulled an ancient book from the bookshelf next to him.

boom!

Soon, a dark room appeared in the bookcase on the other side.

Wow! There are hidden rooms in a place like this? Chu Ci followed them in with anticipation.

As soon as the two entered, the bookshelf closed automatically, and the surroundings were pitch black without a single ray of light.

Just as Chu Ci was puzzled, intricate blue lines began to appear on the ground, eventually forming a small teleportation array.

At the same time, Krend's voice followed.

"Get ready, we're about to teleport."

Why does this feel a bit dangerous? Where are we going? They've even used a teleportation array!

Before Chu Ci could think, a flash of blue light disappeared, and the two figures vanished simultaneously, plunging the surroundings into darkness once more.

When Chu Ci's vision returned, it was still pitch black all around him, and he subconsciously called out to Krend.

"Bishop Krend, are you still there?"

There was no reply.

"Hey! You old geezer, don't scare me!"

...still no sound.

Just as he turned around, about to start cursing again, something seemed to flash before his eyes, and then...

"Whoa!!!!"

"ah!!!!"

boom!

"Hey! You brat! Where are you going to hit me? What if you ruin my old face?!"

Huh? Startled by the familiar voice, Chu Ci finally realized what was going on.

"Bishop Krend? It's you? Whew~ You scared me! Why were you making that strange noise? I thought there was a monster."

. . .

Krend watched Chu Ci groping in the darkness with a hint of speechlessness. He saw that Chu Ci's right hand was constantly drawing golden lines, and a complex and gorgeous golden magic circle was slowly taking shape.

In an instant, golden light began to emerge from the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire passageway.

"Oh, you had a light source, Bishop Krend. Why didn't you use it sooner? You made me worry all that way. Hmm? Why is your right cheek a little red?"

This kid is asking a question he already knows the answer to!

Krend waved his hand dismissively, feigning indifference.

"Oh! It was just a little hit from the dog, I'll be fine in a bit."

Hmph! Today I'm going to make this kid look bad.

"Oh? What kind of dog is so powerful?! You're a peak ninth-tier expert, how could you be beaten by a dog?"

you!

The veins on Krend's forehead almost bulged.

"No, Krend, as an elder, you can't hold a grudge against a junior. Well, I won't!"

He kept giving himself positive self-talk, and his initially irritable emotions gradually calmed down.

Chu Ci also witnessed this scene.

Hmm? This old guy is quite good at controlling his emotions. If that's the case, it would seem a bit ridiculous for me to keep making a scene.

The two tacitly avoided discussing the topic further.

Krend walked up to him, turned around, and looked at him seriously.

"Chu Ci, before you step inside, you must promise me that you will not tell anyone what you see next!"

Is it that serious? Looks like there's a big secret here.

He thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.

Seeing him nod, Krend didn't say anything more and walked into the passage, with Chu Ci following behind him.

After walking for a while, they soon saw the exit at the end of the passage.

As soon as he stepped out, the scene before him stunned Chu Ci into standing still.

A huge hollow area appeared before us.

In the middle of that, a magnificent golden six-pointed star magic circle seemed to be sealing something.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Krend's figures suddenly appeared in front of the magic circle.

Do you know what's sealed inside?

???

Are you out of your mind? If I knew, what would I need you for?

Chu Ci gave him a disgruntled look, but Krend didn't care and continued speaking.

"First of all, you should know that 'Divine Realm' is a paradise created by gods, where gods are the absolute and supreme beings!"

According to the Bible, the continent of the Gods was once home to many races. Although there were minor skirmishes between the various races, there were no large-scale wars in general.

"This is because the kingdom of the gods once hung high in the sky. The gods did not invade each other, so the races under their command naturally had little chance of causing trouble."

"This kind of comfort was once deeply rooted in people's hearts and lasted for countless years, but tens of thousands of years ago, a sudden disaster turned everything to ashes."

"God is here!"
