Chapter 614: Selection Exam for the Evil God’s Agency

From the dark, old Ultimate Power, Lolth felt the divine power of another deity.

It was a gloomy and ruined divine power, like "death" itself.

Even though she didn’t know the being, just from this divine power, Lolth could guess that its authority probably included functions related to "wither" and "decay."

A being with such powers, even if not an evil god, was most likely not something good.

Just like its displayed effect—"parasitizing" the Ultimate Power, controlling monsters in the darkness, creating puppets…

Now, it seemed that because Lolth had temporarily freed the Ultimate Power, the God of Demise suddenly noticed this part of its divine power that was being "stolen" and "manipulated."

Thus, these two deities began to clash.

Soon, in the pure darkness, a thick, heavy gray fog began to rise.

The fog intertwined with the night, carrying the wills of the two divine beings, starting a clash at a level even Lolth could not yet reach.

Moreover, Lolth could feel that the God of Demise and this unknown deity seemed to be in agreement, holding back their full power.

Lolth quickly understood the reason for this…

Because this was the "Holy Capital," right under the watchful eyes of the God of Light!

It seemed that these two "evil gods" didn’t want to awaken the God of Light, who was still sleeping.

"Interesting…"

Lolth smiled.

Since neither side was truly a friendly deity, Lolth had no intention of helping either of them.

Moreover, if she didn’t have to find her apprentice Dorothy, she might have stirred the pot a bit.

However, since her precious disciple and her charm Patricia were here, Lolth decided it was better to find her disciple first.

The two gods were clashing, and they probably did not have much strength left to interfere with her now.

The only problem was that the two types of divine power had changed from one being absolutely dominant to two being evenly matched.

Just one type of divine power had already created a distortion in the rules.

Now, under the clash of the two types of divine power…

These days, inside the Bennett clan’s mansion, the "rules" had fallen into chaos.

Lolth could feel that her life force and soul were both being affected by the shock of the divine power.

"I need to find Dorothy quickly."

She thought this and then walked into the castle of the Bennett clan’s mansion.

At the same time, in Dena Bennett’s reception room, Kanor and Lalea also felt the "change"!

Although it was still dark here, Kanor could clearly feel…

In the darkness, some "presence" was quickly fading away.

In contrast, there were strange changes in those "puppets."

The puppets sitting back in their chairs suddenly released thick gray smoke from their mouths, noses, ears, and eyes.

At the same time, their flesh and blood melted away into endless darkness.

Kanor and Lalea could both feel… their life force and souls were being drawn away by two powerful beings.

"These are two Holy Domain… no, two demi-gods."

Lalea said, her face pale.

She finally realized that the "Holy Domain" she felt was merely a disguise!

Kanor glanced at her and gently shook her head.

"You could be bolder, Sister Lalea. These are… two ‘divine’ beings."

When Lalea heard Kanor say that, sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.

"Divine…"

She didn’t need to think; she knew that this presence was definitely an evil god!

Two evil gods wreaking havoc at a gathering of The Church of Light members? This sounded like something she could not get involved in!

"So, Kanor… how about we retreat for now…"

Lalea said tentatively, while Kanor glanced at her and gently shook her head.

"There’s no escaping this; it’s an evil god… Right now, the best approach is to go with the flow."

"Anyway, it seems like these two evil gods are not very easy to handle…"

As Kanor said this, she looked at the intertwining gray and black colors that were "attacking" each other—the Power of the Evil God.

Finally, darkness seemed to briefly swallow the gray mist, and a pitch-black entrance appeared on one wall of the reception room.

"Look, the ‘invitation’ has arrived."

As Kanor said this, she stepped into the darkness.

Lalea hurriedly stood up.

"Even though I’ve been listening to you all this time… is this really a good idea?"

"Not necessarily, but I think this should be an ‘opportunity,’" Kanor said, her "Versatile Kitchenware" moving in her hand. "Have you thought about what the goals of these two evil gods are?"

"To kill the Lady of Light, or Dena Bennett… or something else?"

Lalea asked uncertainly.

"Those demi-gods and Holy Domain can handle it. The princes of the Holy Empire are indeed important figures, but to the gods, they are still just insignificant insects."

"Moreover, this is an evil god risking offending another evil god… even both gods risking being discovered by the God of Light, setting a trap."

Kanor said calmly.

"If it was earlier, I truly couldn’t guess what was worth such a big effort from them."

"But now, I understand…"

"Just like The Church of Light needs a ‘Pope,’ the evil gods also need their own representatives in the main plane…"

"Clearly, in this darkness, they found a suitable candidate… or rather, they foresaw that a suitable candidate would appear here."

She said this and looked at Lalea.

Lalea looked at her, a puzzled expression on her face.

"What do you mean? It can’t be me, can it?"

"Maybe so. It can’t be me… I’m only eight years old and so ordinary and innocent. How could I possibly be the spokesperson for an evil god?"

Kanor shrugged and said.

"Haha."

Lalea responded to Kanor with a laugh.

"No more jokes, Sister Lalea. Whether it is or isn’t, we need to go see, don’t we?"

Kanor said this as she stepped forward into the dark entrance.

Lalea had to follow closely behind, entering with Kanor.

The moment they entered, Kanor felt…

A faint, hidden darkness covered them, as if it completely masked their presence.
