The young wizard took off his hat and said with a cynical smile:

"Your Majesty, I never thought you would come to me on your own initiative."

From the shadows, a priest in a white robe slowly walked out.

If there are senior believers in the Church of Love, they should be able to guess the identity of this pastor at the first moment.

In other words, when you hear someone say "Your Majesty", you should have some guesses.

After all, the term "Your Majesty" is generally only used to describe three types of people.

Emperor of the Empire.

Empress of the Empire.

Or…the Pope.

Yes.

The one who walked out of the darkness was the current Pope of the Church of Love, Hierro Hyman.

Hiro Heyman looked at the young man coldly, his eyes showing no sign of displeasure:

"If it's not for the plan, I really don't want to cooperate with a guy like you."

The young wizard chuckled and said:

"But now it seems that we have no choice but to cooperate."

"The Dark Side of the God of Love's Stand is only one step away from resurrection. At this point, no one can retreat."

Hiro Hyman was silent for a while, but finally sighed:

"You're right, we need the resurrection of the Dark Stand."

"So, you have gathered all the key elements?"

The young wizard smiled and said:

"Of course, the remaining power in the Book of the Dead is enough to guide the dark side of the lost god of love to come."

"I would like to ask whether you are ready?"

"After all, reviving the Dark Side Stand is one thing, but whether it will affect us is another."

The Pope of Love snorted coldly and said:

"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. We have more steadfast allies."

The young wizard thought for a moment, and finally said with a smile: "If that's the case, that's great."

He snapped his fingers, and the void seemed to be filled with mosaics, gradually condensing into a magnificent painting.

He looked at the painting quietly.

The young wizard in the painting smiles gently, with shining golden hair, and seems to be a very gentle person.

He sneered and said:

“It’s really sickening to watch.”

He turned to the Pope and said:

"I have brought back the remaining source of power of "The Love of My Life" for you."

"With these, all the prerequisites for awakening the dark side of the God of Love have been met."

He waved and turned to leave the church.

Hiro Heiman looked at the young wizard's back as he left. The sunlight outside the temple shone on his golden hair, but it seemed unable to dispel the thick silence and gloom around him.

The Pope shook his head, turned to the cardinal and said: "Begin."

The cardinal took the things and quietly hid in the shadows.

…

【Location: City of Art, Beatrice's Room】

After exploring the City of Art, Beatrice opened the door to her room.

Akane followed her and paused as she entered.

She heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom in the room.

She looked at Beatrice and said, "Your Highness, I will leave first."

Beatrice nodded.

As soon as Qian left, the noise in the bathroom died down.

Not long after, Louis came out in a bathrobe.

The ends of his hair were still dripping with water and he was wiping it with a towel.

Beatrice glanced at him, her eyes subconsciously wandering around the open collar of his bathrobe.

The deep V collar allows you to clearly see the streamlined muscles on his chest.

Before she knew it, her face turned red.

“You’re back!”

Louis walked over, picked her up and spun her around in the air: "Should the next sentence be 'Eat first or me first'?"

Beatrice spat and said:

"You wish!"

After a moment, she said hesitantly, "Do you want to eat the meal I made?"

“It would be great if we could eat it.”

Beatrice snorted and fell silent.

Louis didn't care about these things. He just held her in his arms and lay on the bed, telling her about the relevant information he had found out.

Beatrice listened to him quietly beside him.

After a long while, she said curiously:

"Louis, you always meet strange people in places that others don't notice."

Louis coughed.

You can't say he saw it in the Greedy Diary.

Beatrice reached out and stroked his cheek and said, "I won't ask you how you knew that, but since you know the entrance to the Demon Palace, report it to the relevant departments of the Empire."

"It's best to let them handle this kind of professional matter."

"They will also communicate with Mr. Roland at that time."

She sighed again, "I just didn't expect that there are such powerful beings in the empire who abide by the ancient covenant."

Louis asked curiously, "What is the ancient covenant?"

Beatrice says:

"In the beginning, there was an ancient covenant between the demigods. All demigods had the responsibility to guard the space rifts."

"Because for a method like space rift that can be accomplished, the demi-plane that a demigod must have is a panacea for dealing with it."

"So those who were about to become demigods would take the initiative to sign a covenant to guard the space rifts."

"This is also why demigods were so revered in the past."

"But as you can probably guess, it lasted less than 1,000 years before being basically abandoned."

Louis nodded.

This kind of thing is natural.

Although from the perspective of all intelligent beings, the ancient covenant benefits the whole world.

Generally speaking, ordinary small cracks are not dangerous to demigods.

If you go to guard the space crack and publicize it, you will gain the respect of many people.

This can be considered the basis for the legal privileges of demigods.

But it is obvious that where there are people who want to maintain order, there are also people who do not want to be restricted in any way.

Becoming a demigod has little to do with one's moral character.

There are many people in this world who only want to enjoy rights without fulfilling their obligations.

Especially in a world where individuals have extraordinary powers, how could the demigods who hold power obey ordinary people?

He was already surprised that the ancient covenant that Beatrice mentioned could last for a thousand years.

Especially once one demigod breaks the precedent, the second rule breaker won't be far behind.

Time and again, the covenant eventually became a piece of waste paper.

He could imagine that ending without Beatrice saying anything.

"In fact, at the end of the Ancient Covenant, the demigods were in a very unhappy situation."

Beatrice mentioned something that ordinary people would hardly know:

"The covenant lasted so long because the first demigods who followed the covenant chose to use force to deter."

"All professionals who are about to break through to become demigods need to sign relevant treaties in advance and advance and retreat together with the demigods of the entire continent."

Louis asked curiously, "So who was the first to break the treaty?"

Beatrice smiled and said, "He is a deified being."

Louis suddenly realized: "For a god-transformer, it is indeed difficult to be restricted."

The term "deification" does not refer to those demigods who, after being promoted to demigods, begin to condense divine fire and yearn for rebirth.

But he is the kind of lucky person that is rarely seen in the continent in ten thousand years.

It is unknown how far back in time the history of the Star Continent can be traced.

Many gods have fallen on this continent.

Louis' career advancement was so fast that it was rare to see such a speed in the entire continent in thousands of years.

But there are some real monsters whose promotion speed is even more exaggerated than his.

That is the power directly inherited from the gods, and one can be promoted to a god by simply digesting it.

But Louis doesn't envy such people.

The power of gods is not so easy to digest.

Another meaning of the title "Deification" is "a person assimilated by God."

Absorbing the power of a god has a high probability of reviving the god in the body of the absorber.

The speed of promotion of the Deity Transformed Ones was extremely fast, and the ancient covenant was torn apart. Apparently, as soon as the news that the Deity Transformed One was about to become a Demigod spread, the person had already become a Demigod.

They are all demigods, it is not easy to suppress a deity.

One reason for abiding by the ancient covenant is to gain fame and fortune.

Second, there will be no direct damage.

Well, it is true that it is difficult for beings below demigod to cause harm to demigod.

But if there is a direct collision with a demigod, the number of demigods willing to take action will be much lower.

There are even fewer people who are willing to fight to the death.

Therefore, the gap torn open by the God-Transforming One will only get bigger and bigger.

In the end, no one was willing to take action, and the alliance existed in name only.

Louis looked at Beatrice and said:

“I plan to have the Meyer Chamber of Commerce support a wave of education.”

Beatrice asked curiously:

"Is it because of Mr. Roland?"

"He was the trigger, but I had this plan as well."

Louis rubbed Beatrice's nose and said, "In my hometown, someone once said, 'I wish I had thousands of mansions to shelter all the poor people in the world and make them happy.'"

"Now that I have the ability, it doesn't hurt to do it."

Beatrice nodded.

She didn't ask Louis who said this.

If such completely different words were said when he and she just met, people would definitely doubt Louis' identity.

In the process of getting along with Louis, she had actually vaguely realized something.

To be more precise, Louis is no longer hiding it.

So Beatrice also had some guesses about Louis' identity.

But she didn't ask.

She has enough tolerance and expectations for him.

Things in the past are not that important in the face of the growing emotions.

She would quietly wait for the day when Louis was willing to tell her.

…

That night.

In the corner of the hotel where the two were staying, a black and red "dumpling" was jumping around.

That is the being called Rimuru.

Louis usually lets it out to patrol the surrounding area before going to bed.

At this time, Rimuru looked up at the moonlight outside, and the black sparks on his body burned more fiercely than ever before. There were bursts of strange light flashing in his body.

Not long after, the strange light disappeared again.

At the same time, Louis, who was sleeping soundly on the bed in Beatrice's room, frowned slightly.

He had an uncomfortable look on his face, as if he had just had a nightmare.

…

There was a stinging sensation.

Louis slowly opened his eyes.

"Beatrice..."

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the lover beside him, but all he touched was nothingness.

He was stunned for a moment, then he noticed that the room where he was lying had changed.

Louis was a little dazed:

"Where is this place? Where did Beatrice go?"

He didn't quite understand the situation for a moment.

So I simply got up from the bed, opened the window, and wanted to see where I was.

However, when his hands touched the window, they went straight through the glass.

He was stunned for a moment.

"Illusion? No, is it a dream?"

In the original fantasy world of the bottomless abyss, there are no creatures like male succubus.

Succubi can only be female.

The broad definition of male succubus in this world generally refers to nightmare.

All members of the Nightmare Clan are male.

Succubus and incubus have exactly the same bloodline, which is why there are very few people like Louis who are men but possess the power of a succubus.

But after all, they are of the same bloodline.

Although Louis cannot use the power of the Nightmare Clan, it is easier for him to distinguish between reality and dreams than ordinary people.

Especially after the dream about mentor Rogge and his lover, Louis specifically strengthened his training in this area.

Now he could feel at a glance that he was actually in a dream.

"How strange, something seems to be wrong?"

Louis has had many dreams, and he knows very well what a normal dream should be like.

Dreams should normally be vague.

When the brain is in a sleeping state, there is insufficient information, so the scenes in dreams are often not too specific.

It's like when the internet speed of an online game is not fast enough, and you need to load the page after running to a new area, and you often can't delve into the details.

So usually in dreams, you won’t dream about playing games on your computer, and then the scene of you killing everyone in the game will be shown in detail.

Blurred and unclear is the norm in dreams.

This is also the same on the Star Continent.

So, after he realized that he was in a dream, he knew that there was definitely something wrong with this dream.

This room looks a bit like déjà vu, and the details are so detailed.

The last time he had a dream with so many details was the dream projected by the Sword of Reincarnation.

Rather than a dream, it is more like the memories of Mentor Rogge.

So everything in the scene looks extremely clear.

This kind of detail is simply impossible to have in a normal dream.

He looked out the window again.

It is snowing outside the window, and the whole place is covered in silver, which is a beautiful sight.

It's almost as if it were real.

"What has affected me again?"

His expression was a little subtle.

However, after taking a few more glances at the snow-covered outside world, his expression changed slightly.

"Is this...Ms. Xilin's former residence?"

His scalp was tingling.

Why did I dream about Ms. Xilin's former residence? Could it be the influence of the "Love of My Life" that suddenly disappeared?

Or was it after absorbing the core of [Love] that he was influenced by the dark side stand?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The core of Love has been tested by the White Tower, and even by the Emperor.

No matter how powerful the dark side stand is, it is impossible for it to pass these two rounds of screening and still remain hidden perfectly.

He tried to leave the room in some confusion.

Before leaving, he took one more look out the window.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

He should be able to see a scene in the direction of the room where he is.

That was the Bitpara tree planted by Ms. Silin’s lover.

It symbolizes that he has engraved his love with Xilin into this world.

But now, there was no sign of woods in that direction.
