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

After the two discussed it briefly, Lu Ze left.

In this era of the arrival of "God's Domain", apart from most ordinary people and those who cherish life with only one life left, who will stay on Earth for a long time, others will basically not waste their time here.

Chu Ci watched the silver sports car leave, and then went online to start searching for information.

As expected, the topic of God's taboo was more popular than ever before, with many people even asking directly on the Federation's official website, only to be told that it was under investigation.

"God's taboo, it seems that the Federation's higher-ups must also know about this existence. After all, they have been exploring the Divine Realm for thousands of years. Even a ninth-rank Bishop Klund can guard a seal. The demigods in the Federation must know even more."

"But what exactly is this thing?"

A jelly-like red substance was suspended in Chu Ci's palm.

If you look closely, you can see tiny red tentacles wriggling on it.

【Crimson Core】

The product stolen from the God of Death was the reason for the God of Death's death. Of course, Chu Ci did not tell Krend this, because it was all just his speculation at the moment.

"This thing looks kind of disgusting."

Unable to discern its purpose, Chu Ci was about to store it in the system when, in the next second, his palm suddenly transformed into a gigantic, abyssal maw that devoured the crimson core completely.

!!!

"My body! What's going on?"

[Ding, analyzing the power of the Abyss Realm. It is currently merging the power of the two realms to achieve balance, with a completion rate of 100%. The current data has been synchronized with the rules of the Abyss Realm.]

[Ding, the Abyss Hunter class evolution is 1/10 complete.]

This is?

After checking his body, Chu Ci found nothing wrong.

"How strange? Could that have been a hidden ability of the Abyss Hunter? I didn't hear about it in the system introduction."

"Forget about all that, let's go to the place we agreed to meet Lu Ze first."

Chu Ci returned to his room and logged into "God's Domain," where his figure reappeared in Dawn City.

Arrive at the teleportation array and select a teleportation location.

[Ding, 10000 gold coins are required to travel to Winterfell in the North. Please pay.]

"It's really expensive, but this little bit of money isn't much for a taxi driver these days."

Of course, the money I'm using now isn't my own, but to be honest, spending my own money might not feel like much, but spending my brother's money is just awesome!

Chu Ci chose to pay.

As the blue runes gradually lit up, a beam of light shot into the sky, carrying Chu Ci's figure away from the spot.

In the distance, on the rooftop library of the church, Krend looked at the beam of light through the window, a hint of admiration and wonder flashing in his eyes.

"That child might really be the hope of 'God Realm'. Old man, you've been blind for so many years, but this time you've finally seen the truth."

"Old man, what do you mean I'm blind! I, Bors, have always been very good at judging people, okay? From the first moment I saw that kid, I knew this child was definitely not simple. So what? The problem that has plagued your Papacy for tens of thousands of years has been solved by my apprentice. If you ask me, let alone you, even if the current Pope came, he should kowtow to my apprentice!" Bors sat at the desk where Krend used to sit, and laughed heartily with his feet stretched out on the table without any restraint.

In the past, Krend would have definitely lost his temper on the spot, but now he was in a good mood, and even Bors' jokes only elicited a wry smile.

The current Pope is one of the most powerful people in "God Realm," a true pinnacle of strength. It's clearly unrealistic to expect someone like him to kowtow to this kid.

Just then, a voice pulled him back to reality.

Suddenly, Bors abandoned his usual joking demeanor and sat up straight, looking at him with a serious expression.

"By the way, Krend, you haven't reported my apprentice's matter to the Holy See yet, have you?"

Even the old man wasn't being called anymore; Bors squinted at him.

Seeing this, Krend understood what was going on and looked at him solemnly.

"Don't worry, I know what kind of person you are. I haven't reported anything about the taboo or anything else related to Chu Ci. I know you're worried about the Papacy, but..."

"No buts!" Bors's indifferent voice interrupted him.

"Krend, not everyone is as willing as you to give everything for the Holy See. Maybe that's what they thought at first, but once they sit in a high position, the dictator's indifference will eventually devour their once passionate hearts. You should know that better than I do."

Under Krend's gaze, Bors slowly rose from his seat.

The light streaming through the window cast him into shadow, as if slicing the two of them apart.

"I trust you, but that doesn't mean I trust those hypocritical scoundrels. Krend, remember this: justice never equals kindness, and kindness never equals justice, especially not the outdated and prejudiced doctrines of the Vatican!"

……

The two remained silent for a moment, neither of them speaking.

Finally, Krend sighed. After living for hundreds of years, did he really not know these principles? No, of course he did know; it was just that the two of them held slightly different positions.

"Sigh, I don't intend to persuade you, but as an old friend and the child's elder, I will try my best to delay the time it takes for the Holy See to discover this. However, you should know the Holy See's methods. Now, the news of Shen Ji's death has spread throughout the entire 'Divine Realm' through the news network of the Chosen Ones and the Thieves' Guild. The Eastern and Western Theocracy must have received the news as well. I received the message from the Eastern Theocracy yesterday, but I temporarily tricked them into returning."

"But this is not a long-term solution, and soon it will be time for the Vatican to inspect the seal every ten years, at which time the matter of divine taboo will definitely be exposed."

After hearing Krend's words, Bors lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"How much longer?"

"Less than half a year."

"That's it?" Bors laughed.

"If it were someone from the Divine Realm, that would be one thing, but my disciple is a Chosen One, blessed by the will of the world. With our assistance, he should have no problem protecting himself for half a year. Don't forget, he killed Shen Ji when he was only at the second level."

Krend paused for a moment, then smiled with relief.

"You're right, I was worrying too much."

"But now that we don't need to worry about that child anymore, it's time for us old bones to stretch our muscles. I remember those guys should be getting impatient soon, right?"

As light and shadow intertwined, a knowing smile appeared on both of their faces.
