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

boom!

Seeing this, the other mages around them immediately used magic to annihilate these troublesome individuals. However, when they looked at the mist again, their eyes were filled with deep apprehension and fear.

"Could these be things that happened when the god descended upon the 'Divine Realm'? Why am I able to see them?"

The scenes kept changing, and Chu Ci's figure kept changing positions.

He witnessed how prosperous races were utterly destroyed by the gods in just a few months, and everything turned into flesh and blood to nourish the mist.

Humans, demi-humans, dragons, Titans, and almost all other advanced races could not escape the fate of being devoured.

Time flew by, and before Chu Ci knew how long he had been in this space, he only felt that it had been a very, very long time.

Here, he felt no hunger, observing everything around him like a passerby.

Death, rage, betrayal, fear...

Everything was so dark and hopeless; he couldn't see any chance of winning, and his eyes were completely numb.

When the scene shifts again, this time he arrives at a magnificent palace.

On the long table in the middle, nine figures radiating divine light sat.

The ethereal sound echoed around.

"We've already lost nearly 90% of our territory, are we going to retreat any further?!"

"Those guys are never satisfied. If this continues, I'm afraid even we won't be able to protect ourselves!"

"Fight! Rather than betraying the entire divine realm, let's fight!"

"What are we going to fight! These guys may not be the strongest fighters, but they're incredibly difficult to kill, not to mention that the mist can even corrode the souls of gods! We..."

"That's enough!"

The person sitting at the very front shouted, and all other voices immediately fell silent.

The surroundings became quiet again.

"We really can't sit idly by any longer; let's get started on that plan."

Upon hearing this, all the figures seemed to pause for a moment, but they all nodded.

"That plan? And these nine figures... Could they be the nine supreme beings mentioned by Bishop Klund in the Bible?! Holy crap, what am I just seeing?!"

At this moment, the being at the very front seemed to sense something and looked in Chu Ci's direction.

"Who's there!"

Ok?

Before Chu Ci could even process what was happening, the long-absent system voice suddenly rang out again.

[Ding! Evolution complete! Congratulations on obtaining the new class - Abyss Thief]

After saying that, Chu Ci's vision went black and his consciousness once again fell into chaos, but some sounds appeared intermittently in his ears.

"This power...could it be them?"

"Then our plan would be...?"

"It seems... there's no other way... for the sake of the race."

……

In the top-floor library of the Holy See in Dawn City, Krend stared at the giant egg before him, showing no interest in flipping through the ancient books in his hands.

Three hours had passed since he brought Chu Ci back. Even though he tried his best to distract himself, he couldn't help but look up from the ancient book in his hands after reading only two pages.

"I checked the seal again, and it should be fine. The mist has also basically stabilized, but I didn't expect it to shrink by half. This proves that this kid's methods did indeed harm Shen Ji, but how exactly did he do it?"

"Also, why would a power similar to Shen Ji appear on him? Logically speaking, that's absolutely impossible."

Just as Krend was thinking.

Crack! The egg cracked.

Ok?

He quickly got up and walked to the giant egg. He saw that the originally scarlet egg was rapidly fading, just like an old thing that had come into contact with air and quickly oxidized and corroded, eventually turning into ashes and revealing the Chu Ci inside.

"Kid!"

Krend quickly stepped forward, and a golden magic circle rapidly formed in his hand, its soft light shining on Chu Ci.

"Um……"

Feeling the warmth, Chu Ci slowly opened her eyes.

"This is... um? Bishop Krend?"

Upon regaining consciousness, he quickly sat up and looked around.

"Is this the rooftop library? Did you bring me back?"

Krend looked at him speechlessly.

"Nonsense! If I didn't bring you back, did you grow legs and run back on your own?!"

"Haha, that's true."

Chu Ci awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

Little did anyone know that as Krend spoke, the light deep in his eyes was fixed on Chu Ci.

If the other party does anything outrageous, he will act swiftly and without mercy!

"Now it seems that this kid really hasn't been affected by the divine taboo; his mental fluctuations and soul are all normal."

Slightly relieved, Krend sat back down at his desk and asked questions in a serious and deliberate manner.

"Boy, although I have no intention of prying into your secrets, this is a matter of divine taboo, so you must tell me what happened."

Well...sigh, it seems I can't escape it after all.

Chu Ci sighed; he had anticipated this situation from the very beginning of the evolution.

How about we try telling a lie?

"Boy, I advise you not to even think about lying to me. The Vatican has many ways to get you to talk. Believe me, you don't want to try."

Krend's voice drifted over.

Chu Ci looked up and met his gaze. Suddenly, the other person's figure overlapped with Bors's.

Tsk! No wonder he's an ancient relic that's lived for hundreds of years, he's really not easy to fool.

Having no other choice, he had to tell the whole story about how he obtained the Raider trait and the job evolution stone, deliberately omitting the Poison God aspect.

Even so, it made Krend's eyes widen in surprise.

"What did you say?! You obtained the power of the gods and even successfully evolved your profession!"

"Um, probably... maybe... possibly... it seems like that, hehe."

Chu Ci gave an awkward yet polite smile.
