Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

She tried hard to recall the "knowledge" she had learned from Sister Teresa and Sister Peroz today, and then slowly tried it out.

However, because she was too shy, she was a little flustered and could only slowly complete some things under Charles' guidance...

After a long while, looking at Mernadette who seemed to have no strength left, Charles turned over and looked at her, "This won't do. You bullied me for so long... I'm going to get revenge."

"Brother...you're really going too far..." Mernadette said to Charles with her last bit of strength.

Soon her thoughts were disturbed again, and she cooperated with Charles unconsciously.

The next day, looking at Mernadè curled up in his arms, Charles couldn't help but reveal a happy and satisfied smile on his face.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't do anything too outrageous last night.

He just cooperated with Mernadette to complete some experiments, such as how to give birth to new life.

As the high priest, he is obliged to cooperate with the goddess in some experiments.

Although this experiment will require sacrificing some things and making him "weakened", Charles will do his best to do it.

Who makes him a man of devout faith?

If I use this reason to explain it, I will probably get hit with fewer axes, right? Of course, the more likely thing is that I will get hit with more axes.

Speaking of which, Mr. Alfu has said more than once that he has always respected the goddess as his mother.

So now I should be his...father?

Inexplicably, Charles' mind flashed back to himself, looking sternly at Mr. Alfor, who was looking at him and Melnadette, then aggrievedly calling out to his father...

For a moment, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Mernadette in his arms was woken up by him, but because she was too tired, she just glanced at Charles and closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Ciel quickly stopped smiling.

Most of the time he was very sensible and gentle, but at times... Charles felt a little embarrassed looking at the tired Mernadette.

wrong!

Why should I feel embarrassed?

It was clearly Mernadette who "bullied" me first last night. I just obeyed her and then "bullied" her back.

As he thought about this, Charles embraced Melnadette even more tenderly.

If possible, he wanted to hold her like this forever.

However, he knew this was impossible.

They all have their own things to do.

Moon, Sun, Mutual Aid Society, Adventure...

It will take a long time.

They may not even meet each other for a long time.

But even so, they probably wouldn't be too sad.

Love is never everything. People always have more to pursue.

This was what Charles originally thought, but as he looked at Mernadè who was sleeping soundly in his arms, the smile on his face became even brighter.

Some things may not be everything in life.

But it is the driving force that drives people to keep moving forward and constantly create miracles.

What each of them is about to do next might be dangerous.

But it is something they are unwilling to give up no matter what.

A new era is about to come, and everyone will have his or her own unique mission and face his or her own choices.

Some people forge ahead, while others take things as they come. The world will not change because of one person's choice, but it will bloom special flowers for the decisions of most people.

Chapter 331: Moon, Garden

Steam calendar year 1768.

This year, or rather these few years, Moroston has never been peaceful.

But for the people here, truly peaceful days may be coming.

As time passed, and with the actions of Pope Santu of the Church of the Earth, who was recognized by Charles, more and more people realized that perhaps the unconfirmed rumor was true.

What they once relied on, or the mountain that weighed on them, has lost its power and is now like an ordinary person waiting in line to be judged by the church.

The person who issued the task has disappeared, so is it still necessary to carry out the task?

In Moroston, or in the entire Kingdom of York, the high-level extraordinary people who gathered because of Charles gradually chose to leave the country.

There are countless places in the world where they can find peace and security, so why should they stay in such a dangerous place that may swallow up everything they have?

What Ron, Victor, and even Doug had hoped for and even paid countless prices to achieve ended in a ridiculous way.

However, their coming and going cannot be said to be without any meaning.

The decline of the royal family and aristocratic rights, the formation of a new political system, and the promulgation of the Bill of Rights. In a sense, their arrival and departure promoted the progress and development of the country's ideology.

The country will continue to enforce the existing code and order for a long time before it is confirmed that the Charles has left.

This is a good thing for Charles or Mernade. Compared with a country where everything is ruled by a king and the top leaders are closely connected with each other, such a country is more likely to breed fertile soil for the development of mutual aid associations.

Of course, it is also more likely to breed fertile ground for other ideas.

Perhaps it won’t be long before people from the Truth Society and the Equality Society will also settle here.

Whether the future of the Kingdom of York will get better or worse is completely unknown without Charles's intervention.

Obviously, Charles is not in the mood to do such a thing now.

Just like when he was at Sequence 3, although Ciel had mastered some powers that he shouldn't have, at the same time, he was missing some powers that he himself couldn't perceive.

The deficit he'd suffered at Sequence 3 was made up in the City of Gluttony, but after advancing to Sequence 2, he fell into the same state again. However, this time, he could vaguely sense his condition.

In the Sea of Lust, he took away Pandora's power and gained some new abilities, according to which he could obtain energy from "love".

In order to gain the power to investigate all the truths, Charles "had to" spend his time on this.

It was not until Mernadette said goodbye to him and left with a puffed-up mouth that Charles slowly gave up the idea of continuing to accumulate strength.

The relaxing time ends here.

"I say, can't you have better wine here?" Charles said with some dissatisfaction as he casually opened a bottle of Reiner's collection.

"Then could you please not appear in front of me instantly like this all the time?" Reiner said even more dissatisfiedly while retracting his power.

Although he has already acknowledged that Ciel is his good friend, it does not mean that he will like Ciel's elusive behavior.

Several times he almost couldn't suppress his instinct to attack.

"We are good friends. It makes me sad that you say that." As he spoke, Charles casually threw a bottle of potion that could promote truth over.

After the Heart of Omniscience was made, thinking of Reiner's "poor" appearance, Ciel simply helped him prepare the potion in one go.

"Good friends? I didn't know good friends would hide their whereabouts from each other." Reiner looked at the potion in his hand, wondering whether to drink it directly, and then glanced at Ciel.

"Eh? My home? Haven't I mentioned it to you before?" Ciel glanced at Reiner with some surprise, but he didn't think much about it and said directly, "If you have anything, you can come to Rocks Manor to find me. Rocks Manor in the Kingdom of York."

"But you may not find me there for the next while. I have something to take care of."

His strength is almost at the top of the world.

Mernadette had her own things to do. Before her, Peroz seemed to have found some key information from the City of Knowledge and said goodbye to her first to embark on a new journey. Theresa was dragged by her father to stroll around the entire Kingdom of York to show off.

The empty manor seemed to be reminding Charles that it was time to do what he should do.

"Do you need help?" Reiner asked. Ciel shook his head, "This is my personal matter."

If it is a dangerous matter, Reiner will probably join in like Tiehanhan.

Considering the danger and strangeness of the situation, Ciel felt it would be better for Reiner to stay here.

Charles said that he was not worried about his safety at all, he just felt that when facing those things, one more person would not make much difference, and one less person would not make much difference.

Reiner stopped asking questions and turned all his attention to the potion.

"Drink it while it's hot. Are you afraid that I might poison it?" Charles said casually as he drank the wine in the glass.

"Isn't it a bit too simple? I think we should arrange some kind of ceremony." Reiner became unusually worried.

After all, since the atheist era, there has been no subordinate god in the world.

During such a long period of time, Reiner didn't believe that he was the only one who had found a way to get promoted.

So he felt that perhaps he would need something other than potions when he was promoted to a sub-god?

"There are indeed similar rituals, but not only are they complicated and tedious, they may not be very effective." Charles knew a lot about this kind of rituals. After all, he had stolen knowledge from many demigods and even gods. At the same time, as the high priest, he also acquired a lot of precious knowledge in the library of the Church of the Earth.

However, this kind of ritual that can help demigods ascend to gods, except for the rituals directly intervened by the gods in the Five Gods Church, most of the rituals can play a very small role.

If you want to advance from a demigod to a god, the person you need to rely on most is yourself.

"I originally wanted to arrange a ceremony for you, but considering your previous behavior, I don't think you need that kind of thing."

"Don't you need it...?" Reiner suddenly laughed as he looked at the bottle in his hand, then drank it in one gulp.

Yes, he never needed such a thing.

Before the successful construction of the Dream City, as a member of the Truth Society, he was unable to control too many extraordinary resources.

In that era, his advancement never required any assistance. Sometimes, he would even save the ingredients for potion preparation and directly swallow the extraordinary characteristics to complete the advancement.

His pure and resolute will will help him to eliminate all impurities and clear all obstacles in his promotion process.

Reiner's aura began to change slowly, his gaze became focused and serious, and at the same time gave Ciel a special feeling.

Knowledge, truth.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was the incarnation of both of them, and no matter what kind of doubts he had, he could find the answers in him.

"This feeling..." Reiner waved his hand, and everything around him began to change from the essence, slowly possessing extraordinary power, life, and even soul.

In an instant, all his previous questions and confusions found answers.

The world seemed to have no secrets in front of him.

This feeling is very wonderful.

"Okay, stop showing off your power in front of me. Instead of being silly, you should think about your future path." Charles said to him while looking at the completely changed drink in front of him.

"The future...?" Reiner was confused.

To be honest, at this moment, he had never thought about the distant future.

From a certain perspective, God represents the pinnacle of his dream.

As for becoming a true God...he had never thought about that.

"The sequence path went from 9 to 1. You've only reached Sequence 2."

"Your dream city may still have room for improvement, or it may not have reached its limit yet."

"For the Apprentice Sequence, the truth has indeed reached its pinnacle, but you must know that the path is created."

"You might become the new God."

Ciel wasn't just saying this. He truly felt that Reiner had the ability and the opportunity.

Even though he had copied Reiner's knowledge and gained the same power as him, he could even do better than him with the help of plug-ins.

But he still praises Reiner's dream city, Ciel.

"A new god? I don't have such ambitions. I just want to realize my dream."
