The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

When several forces, each with their own ulterior motives, collide, it often leads to some dramatic scenarios.

It can only be said that whatever the Church of Resurrection does next may lead to a strange and unpredictable outcome.

Dekan suddenly felt like he was playing a three-player identity game.

Moreover, it's the kind of situation where no one knows how many loyal ministers, traitors, or rebels there are.

Whoever becomes the lord will have their blood pressure explode.

"Just how powerful is the Pope, really?"

"Dekan asked."

The biggest problem for the resurrected church right now must be this pope.

Even Decan could hardly find out any information about the Pope.

Appearance, name, age, race—everything is unknown.

It wasn't until recently, when the Pope himself restricted Dekan's access, that Dekan became convinced that the Pope truly existed.

Ludwig, upon hearing Dekan's words, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"He's not an enemy you can defeat at this stage. You'll need a very, very long time to grow before you can possibly defeat him."

"That's what everyone thought when I took down Evans."

Dekan immediately retorted.

"..."

Ludwig opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Upon closer reflection, she realized that this guy really did never fight bosses in the usual order...

Back then, even Evans, the eighth-tier Bishop of Ruin, dared to challenge the third-tier Dekan...

Generally speaking, by the end of the story, the protagonist will have reached the maximum level.

But Dekan's story may not be so simple.

This guy is an exceptional fighter; he's from the underworld at every level, only the higher the rank, the more underworldly he is.

What limited him was not his rank, but his morality.

"You left your vocal cords at home, astrologer?"

Seeing that he had finally silenced the young reporter, Dekan felt much better.

For some reason, Ludwig looked at Dekan with a complicated expression, as if he had made a decision, and sighed.

"Anyway, if we're both at the ninth rank... I'd probably be defeated by him in no time... That guy seems inhumanly strong, but of course, no one has ever seen his true form..."

Ludwig said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"Could he be a demon, a vampire, or some other kind of creature?"

Dekan understood what Ludwig meant.

Ludwig may have genuinely doubted the Pope's race.

Just like the demon race, which not only possesses powerful physical abilities and vitality, but also has a long lifespan and extremely high magical creativity.

Vampires, on the other hand, possess innate powers and immortality.

Compared to humans, their racial characteristics are simply outrageous.

Humanity's only advantage is its rapid reproduction rate. When the population is large enough, we are always lucky enough to produce some exceptionally talented individuals.

Only these individuals can single-handedly confront powerful demons and vampires.

Ludwig could be considered one of the most outstanding geniuses in human history.

Even she felt that the opponent, who was so strong that he seemed inhuman, might not actually be human.

"No, it feels different. It might be a more mysterious and dangerous race, one that you can't even encounter in the Shadow World."

Ludwig's expression became unusually serious.

"Dekan, have you ever considered that humans, elves, goblins, orcs, and other races that are either mediocre or flawed, are truly capable of eradicating demons and vampires, two perfect races that can be considered the darlings of the Creator, from the world?"

"..."

Decan fell into deep thought regarding Ludwig's question.

If there were a demon realm of the same level as the demon realm in the Shadow World in this world.

Furthermore, demons can also use magic cards.

Dekan did not believe that humanity could defeat that terrible demon realm.

There are several ninth-order demons alone.

The reason why the Holy Kingdom was able to put up a stubborn resistance was that it also had more than a dozen ninth-level powerhouses.

There are no such numbers of ninth-tier powerhouses in the present world.

The more Dekan explores the Holy Kingdom, the Demon Realm, and the Shadow World, the more he becomes aware of some of the problems in the real world.

Even though the vampire race has been in decline for a thousand years in the Holy Kingdom.

There are also survivors and vampire magic.

Even if the Holy Kingdom defeats the Demon Realm in a later timeline, it is unlikely to destroy the Demon Realm, let alone exterminate the demons.

If you really push the devil too far, it's uncertain who will perish.

But this world.

There are traces indicating that vampires and demons once existed.

Even if you can find specific historical details, you can't find any surviving traditions.

It's as if it was deliberately erased or hidden by someone.

However, this is something that is impossible for humans to do.

It's as if there's some true ruler in this world, controlling everything.

Although all of these speculations are quite far-fetched.

Just as absurd as Dekan's conjecture that the Church of Resurrection attacked the Heroic Sacrifice.

But Ludwig would seriously consider Dekan's words, and Dekan would also seriously consider Ludwig's words.

In some ways, they are the same kind of people.

Therefore, Ludwig believed that Dekan could understand her meaning, which is why she was willing to tell Dekan.

Seeing that Dekan was deep in thought, Ludwig continued:

"Of course, all of this is just speculation, and even I can't find any clues to prove it. But if such a group of 'imaginary enemies' really exists, I'm afraid I'll be wiped out very quickly after I reveal that I'm aware of their existence."

Ludwig did not seem to intend to tell Decan all these deductions.

At least until Dekan reaches a level that can threaten the ninth rank, Ludwig will either "drag him down" or "ask him for help".

But Ludwig discovered that Decan was a man who should never be underestimated because of his rank.

Upon hearing this, Dekan immediately switched to full acting, revealing a sinister smile, and looked at Ludwig, asking:

"Aren't you afraid I might be one of them? Maybe I'll show you real terror in the next second?"

He even changed his voice to scare Ludwig.

"You can't be, you're someone who would protect the demon race."

Ludwig smiled calmly and gestured to indicate Tata's short stature.

"Tsk."

Dekan clicked his tongue, but failed to frighten Ludwig.

"Moreover, your fate is to be their enemy."

Ludwig added another sentence.

Dekan: "My destiny?"

Ludwig: "You saw the microcosm of many people's fates in the Holy Land and the Demon Realm, but didn't you see your own?"

"!"

Dekan suddenly seemed to realize something and was startled.

In the Holy Kingdom and the Demon Realm, some powerful beings can find their counterparts in the mortal world.

And his own holy kingdom and demon realm body.

It must be Deloitte from the dream.

Delois was a demon by nature.

"Do you understand?"

Ludwig observed Dekan's reaction and asked.

"However, in this perfect world, no matter how hard we search, we will never be able to find their flaws; we will only expose ourselves in vain."

Dekan nodded solemnly in reply.

He had a headache.

Ludwig put forward a hypothesis that he had to take seriously.

However, this hypothesis cannot be investigated or proven.

It will only increase your anxiety.

After all, such an enemy, whose very existence cannot be discerned, is outside the scope of Dekan's concept.

"They are not without flaws."

Ludwig smiled slightly, pointed to himself, and then to Dekan.

“At least two people here have already realized it, haven’t they? The fact that we’ve started to sense it means they have a loophole. There’s only one way to make more people realize it, and that’s somewhere they can’t control.”

"You mean... the Shadow World?"
