"Even though on the surface our combat strength is slightly lower, I have a way to keep both sides at the same level, or even better."
Jiang Ran couldn't solve such a complex problem as directly killing the Grand Apostle with his innate abilities. Since the other party wouldn't understand anyway, he might as well be mysterious and just say that he had a solution.
"I cannot verify this..."
The three chief apostles were still somewhat hesitant, after all, this concerned their life and death, and was the most important matter!
"If I really had no other choice, I wouldn't be standing here. I would have gone directly to the three committee members. I came here to help, but it turns out that your main body doesn't want to fight. You should know that you can't escape."
They couldn't escape... They couldn't answer that question. Just as Jiang Ran said, with the three committees' armies pressing in, the three chief apostles might be able to barely escape, as long as they started running now and ran out of the residential building. But in that case, the Demon Lord's plan to revive would be completely ruined!
"Since this battle is unavoidable, then we have no choice but to fight!" The eldest of the three chief apostles finally showed some courage. "Sir, we are very grateful for your willingness to lend a helping hand. May we ask what price you want us to pay?"
He understood that Jiang Ran wasn't helping them out of kindness.
"First, teach the method of reviving the Demon Lord to a few of your trusted demon apostles. This task must be completed within half an hour. You must ensure that the successful ones can remember the lost steps completely. If not, you must find a way to leave a record!"
"This is not for me, but for you. You must prevent the entire force from being wiped out in battle, so you must preserve the embers beforehand. This way, at least someone can revive the Demon Lord, and there is still hope, instead of losing and being wiped out."
The three chief apostles nodded. In fact, this was a major advantage for the demon apostles. The three highest-ranking members were focused on the same goal, so there would be no internal divisions. They could make decisions faster and with more decisiveness.
Jiang Ran was actually more concerned about Luo Wukuang. This guy was an important character in the plot and wouldn't die easily, so letting him master the corresponding ritual was more secure. This was far more useful than leaving behind information.
If the three Grand Apostles participate in the battle, their fate is almost certain to be death!
"Secondly, after we achieve victory, lend me 12 seals temporarily. Don't worry, I will return them today. It will not affect the Demon Lord's revival. I hope you can inform me before the ceremony."
Jiang Ran needs to obtain information on 12 important characters in the plot before Aisha is revived. This is also to leave him enough room for retreat. Actually, 6 would be enough. He already has information on the first six characters. But if he can get 12, why does he have to get 6?
"This is no problem at all, but you seem very confident that we can win?"
"I never think about losing before a fight starts. By the way, I'd like to see Li Liubi. Where is he now?"
“Yes… then sir, you should go find him and finish what you need to do. We’ll go and gather the ‘inheritors’ first.”
"Yes, remember to bring Luo Wukuang along."
Jiang Ran felt it was still necessary to give a reminder.
Yes, it will.
Jiang Ran's mention of Luo Wukuang this time did not surprise the three chief apostles, after all, he had been paying close attention to Luo Wukuang before.
The others were still on their way, so Jiang Ran decided to go find Li Liubi first. Alex only sensed the fluctuations of the [Miracle] and did not directly discover the bug. Of course, he may have thought of this, but it would take some time for the three chairmen to mobilize their forces, and it was impossible for them to come to the door so quickly.
Li Liubi was quick to run; he returned to the headquarters of the Demon Apostles not long after being released.
Jiang Ran walked through the corridor and quickly arrived at Li Liubi's door. Without any formalities, he pushed the door open and went in.
This startled Li Liubi.
"My...my lord? What brings you here?"
Li Liubi swallowed hard, seemingly wondering why Jiang Ran was here. But then he thought that since Jiang Ran was a collaborator of the Demon Apostle, it wasn't surprising that he would be here.
"Let me ask you a question."
Another problem?
"Who are you?"
Li Liubi's pupils dilated, and his head drooped. Then, his hair grew long rapidly, like that of a young girl. He reached out and picked up a pair of peach-colored gold-rimmed glasses, placing them on his face.
You can call me Herlina.
Herlina? No matter how you look at it, it's a girl's name. He—no, now it's Him—who is He?
[? ? ? (True God Level), Hostility: 30%]
The other party merely blocked the name of the deity but not the hostility, which implies that He is friendly?
"This name may be unfamiliar to you. You can call me by another name, [Shackles]."
【Shackles】! This is the name of one of the twelve gods, and a god that Jiang Ran had never seen before. However, he did not expect that the true god with this name would have a more feminine appearance.
"Your miracle is called Destiny?"
Before Jiang Ran could ask, Hellina spoke first. After a brief hesitation, Jiang Ran nodded. This was not exactly a secret, at least not among the gods.
“Fate, fate… no, no.” Herlina frowned slightly.
Wait a minute? This left Jiang Ran somewhat confused. Could there be some hidden meaning behind this?
"It should be four words!" Herlina said with unwavering conviction. "Your 'miracle' should be four words! How can it be merely 'fate'? Where did things go wrong?"
Four words? This surprised Jiang Ran. As one of the twelve gods, Hellina certainly knew more than Jiang Ran, but this was a topic that no other god had ever mentioned. Why was she so sure that Jiang Ran's "miracle" should be four words?
Jiang Ran vaguely grasped a core secret!
"If what you say is true, and my 'miracle' has four characters, then what should my 'miracle' originally be called?"
“This is not something you should know right now.” Herlina shook her head. “It proves that [Destiny] has appeared, but it has not yet begun to turn.”
What should I do?
“I don’t know.” Herlina shook her head again. “Although I am the [True God], I am neither omniscient nor omnipotent, and I have no way to see through the fog of your destiny.”
"I can only remind you of one thing."
"Watch out for the [director]!"
—That corresponds to the name of another one of the twelve gods!
"But don't worry, a god will always be standing behind you."
Herlina pulled a tarot card from thin air and placed it in front of Jiang Ran.
That's a "The Pope" card!
