The bottom layer of the eleven Dharma rings.

There exists a huge and solid soul cage.

In a corner of the cage, there squatted a bald middle-aged man emitting a dark golden glow. He was the captured Lord of Judgement, Godfrey.

"Buzz~~~"

Suddenly, the bottom of the cage began to surge, and a "bubble" gradually emerged.

The bubble is in the shape of an oblong spheroid, with the upper part being independent and the lower part being connected to the tenth ring.

Or to be more precise, the essence of the bubble is the distorted tenth ring.

There are three clear human figures inside the 'bubble'.

One is Sid, the other is Grievan, and the last one is Rosen, the main target of this operation.

Rosen leaned forward on the recliner, looking at Godfrey in the cage with a smile in his eyes, and spoke to the demon cage with soul whispers.

"Godfrey, you have failed completely this time."

Godfrey looked up at the scene in the mortal world, his eyes swept over the almost insane Sid, and a burst of burning anger surged in his heart again.

"Rosen, are you still humiliating me now?"

Rosen laughed: "I humiliated you, what can you do to me?"

“Ah~~~~”

Godfrey was furious, jumped up and rushed towards the 'bubble' where Rosen was.

His strength was still strong, but the demon cage was extremely solid, and the 'transformed' tenth magic ring was much stronger than the magic rings in other areas. No matter how he impacted, the cage only trembled slightly, while the magic ring simply remained motionless.

Within a minute, Godfrey hit it hundreds of times in a row.

He was exhausted again and had to stop to rest.

Rosen watched with a smile, then said, "Now, tell me all your raid plans tonight."

"Don't even think about it!"

"My patience is limited."

As he spoke, the runes on the inner wall of the demon cage began to glow slowly.

At first Godfrey didn't feel anything unusual, but soon he felt the inner wall of the rune begin to get hot, so hot that he couldn't stand.

Rosen smiled faintly: "This spell of mine has several names."

"It can be called the Devil's Cage or the Soul Oven."

"If you don't tell me, I will roast you bit by bit with the fire of my soul until you are cooked, haha~~"

Rosen's voice had a hint of teasing in it, but to Godfrey it produced an astonishing sense of terror.

"You devil!"

He cursed loudly and jumped away from the inner wall of the cage.

But as soon as he escaped, the cage began to shrink. It wasn't shrinking very fast, but it was shrinking very steadily, moving closer to Godfrey little by little.

Finally, Godfrey had nowhere to escape and was tightly wrapped in the scalding cage.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~"

His body was constantly being destroyed by the cage, and the intense pain caused the Lord of Judgement to scream uncontrollably.

Rosen threatened with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I have new tricks up my sleeve."

"Speak! I'll speak!"

Godfrey collapsed.

"Huh~~"

The demon cage expanded instantly and the temperature dropped immediately.

Godfrey looked extremely miserable. The spiritual essence that made up his body was being violently destroyed, revealing horrible scars. He looked at Rosen with fear.

"There are 36 Saints of Light participating in the battle, led by the Full Moon Warrior Adali. He has a level 10 soul and is very powerful."

Rosen already knew this, and he could see Adali and his men clearly in his void vision.

"Then what?"

"Sha'er is the supreme commander of the assassination tonight. She will join the battle when needed."

Rosen laughed: "Hmm~~ I heard that the Moon Lord Sha'er is a proud beauty. I am a little moved by her."

Godfrey's heart trembled when he heard this, and then he suddenly felt a very secret excitement. He couldn't help thinking: "If someone as proud as Shar was caught by this mortal emperor and tortured bit by bit, the scene would definitely be very interesting."

He had no choice but to think so, because among the Four Gods of Light, he was the weakest and had the lowest status, and was often looked down upon and even bullied by the other three gods.

Everyone has a temper, let alone God, right?

Over time, a lot of negative emotions naturally accumulated deep in Godfrey's heart, and these emotions, which could not be vented for a long time, brewed into a kind of hidden resentment.

Therefore, stimulated by this strange emotion, he immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, Sarah is indeed a great beauty. Not only is she proud, she is also very competitive and cherishes her saints very much. Your Majesty may be able to use this to deal with her."

He said this, but secretly said in his heart: "Hehe, it would be best if both of you get seriously injured."

Just as the thought came to his mind, Rosen said, "Are you hoping that both Sha'er and I will be seriously injured so that you can be free again?"

Godfrey's heart trembled, and he quickly denied: "No~ I never had such an idea!"

After a quick word, Rosen continued to ask, "There must be more than just these people involved in the raid. Go on and tell me the rest of the news."

Godfrey was already very wary of Rosen, the mortal emperor. Now having witnessed his many methods, his wariness turned into fear, so he confessed honestly.

"We also mobilized an elite Sky Guard of about 3,000 men, led by a general named Martin Lisbon."

"By the way, this general has an ally in the Sky Council named Villeris."

"He is a legendary wizard close to Legend 4. He is said to be one of the most powerful wizards in the Sky Council."

Without the help of magic tools, he has a soul close to Legend 4, which is indeed quite powerful.

Because Naya, the former guardian mage with outstanding talent, currently has a basic soul strength of only Legend 3.2, and Rosen's own soul strength has only been optimized to a level close to Legend 7.

The 3,000-strong elite Sky Guard, well-armed and well-trained, is indeed a very powerful force.

It would be very difficult for Rosen and his 19 disciples to deal with it alone.

But now, they have Captain Armonk's thousand-man army on their side, so this army is not a big problem.

Rosen continued to ask: "Is there any other news?"

Godfrey shook his head very simply. "No, that's all. Personally, I think this force is enough to launch a terrible raid."

But a hidden fluctuation of his soul betrayed him. Rosen stared at Godfrey with a mysterious smile in his eyes.

Godfrey laughed humbly.

As Rosen laughed, his tone suddenly turned stern.

"You're lying!"

"I didn't!" Godfrey's soul trembled, and he denied loudly with guilt.

As Rosen's thoughts urged him, the runes on the inner wall of the demon cage began to glow and heat up again: "It seems that you want to continue to taste the feeling of being roasted."

Godfrey gritted his teeth and persevered. Although he had resentment towards the other gods of light, they all served the Supreme God Gomeler.

The fear of the High God went deep into Godfrey's soul, far deeper than any physical fear.

Rosen understood immediately and said with a smile: "You must still have a secret in your heart, but you dare not betray your real master, right?"

"I don't have any real master!"

"You lied again!"

At this moment, Rosen had knocked both Sid and Grievan unconscious, and he began to focus on interrogating Godfrey.

"Your real master is the Destroyer Gomiler, right?"

Godfrey's body trembled violently, and he looked at Rosen in disbelief: "Where did you get this news?"

"I guessed, and judging by your performance, I guessed right."

'Brush~~'

The ability to freely travel through elements, magic circles, and the void is a characteristic of all artifacts.

The Scepter of Nature is the Branch of Life in disguise, so it can directly enter the void and directly attack Godfrey's soul.

Apparently, Godfrey also recognized the artifact, and he exclaimed, "Artifact?!"

Rosen grinned, "It's good to know the artifact."

"Since you know me, you should know the great power of the artifact. You should also know that I can easily ravage your soul and make you taste the most terrible pain in the world."

"My patience is also very limited. I will count from 10 to 1. If you still don't say anything after I count to 10, then I will let you taste the most painful thing in the world!"

"1096"

Godfrey was so surprised that he cried out, "How did you miss two numbers?"

"I set the rules, I can count however I want."

“53!”

“I say!”

Godfrey's defense collapsed. "There is another special force lurking in the darkness. They are saints of Alamanni, the Lord of Night, also known as the Knights of Night. There are 10 of them."

"We chose to launch the raid at midnight, on the one hand for secrecy, and on the other hand because at midnight, these Night Knights have the strongest combat power."

After a pause, he said, "The Lord of the Night is a great being of level 18, and his saints have been granted a very terrifying domain power called "Midnight Arrival"."

"A team of 10 Knights of the Night is an almost invincible force in the mortal world, and can even go head-on with Attumen."

As soon as Rosen heard it, he knew the news was true, but what surprised him a little was that Lai Fu's void vision did not detect the existence of this group of dark knights.

This was definitely not because the other party was not there, but because the other party used an unprecedented method to hide in the darkness, thus successfully avoiding Lai Fu's void vision.

The reason why he dodged it was most likely not because Lai Fu didn't notice it.

It was because Lai Fu discovered it but didn't recognize it, or the other party disguised himself as background fluctuations, so Lai Fu was filtered out as useless information.

At this juncture, there is no time to train Lai Fu's detection ability.

The only thing that can be done is to list this group of Knights of Darkness as an unexpected factor and leave enough surplus strength in subsequent battles to deal with their sneak attacks.

"This is good news, and I am very pleased with it, so I will reward you."

"Reward?"

Godfrey was startled.

Rosen activated the branch of life with a thought, allowing his power to enter Godfrey's soul, and then began to carefully explore the deep structure of Godfrey's soul.

"Golmuel left something in your soul, didn't he?"

"Yes, that's right. He has imprinted his mark on the souls of all the Light Gods, and we are powerless to reject him."

Rosen said, "I'll look for it. Maybe I can remove this mark for you."

"Don't!"

Godfrey yelled, "Don't do that, please."

"No one in this world can remove the soul mark of Gomilel."

"I don't believe it."

"Your Majesty, you must believe it!"

"Golmiral is called the Supreme God, but he is actually a demigod!"

"There are seven great ones in the void, so there are seven demigods. And we, the so-called powerful gods, are just a group of false gods who deceive mortals."

"You don't know the true meaning of the title 'God', but I do."

"I also know that the power of the true God is incomparably great. Once the true God descends, we false gods, or even demigods, will be nothing more than dim stars beside the sun, not worth mentioning at all."

Rosen was surprised: "It sounds like you have seen the real God?"

"Yes, I have."

"So what is the name of this great true God?"

"Antoine, the Nightmare Tyrant, the Soul Devourer, and the master behind Gomilel."

"I haven't seen all of him, but I've seen his power manifest."

"That is truly great power. With just a snap of a finger, it can turn us false gods into ashes!"

This was the second time Rosen heard the name Antoine. The first time was from the projection Lily.

There is some caution, but there is no fear.

Because the so-called true gods that Godfrey mentioned, in his opinion, are a group of powerful people who master high-energy magical powers.

He is also gradually mastering similar high-energy magical powers.

So, he ignored Godfrey's objections, gathered the power of the Branch of Life, and entered directly into his soul.

Then, he mobilized 80% of Lai Fu's computing power and began to search for the special structure in his soul.

Eighty percent of Laifu's computing power is very, very large. Although Godfrey's soul is huge, only a small part of it actually involves consciousness, which is not much larger than that of a mortal.

After searching for about half an hour, Rosen indeed discovered a strange soul structure.

"Intensity: 19-level strength followed by 8 nines. It's just a little bit away from the high energy limit of 12 nines. This should be the mark that Gaomiel left in Godfrey's mind."

"The brand is indeed very complicated. I'm afraid I won't be able to untie it in a short time. However, I can isolate this part of the soul area."

"This way, we won't alarm Gomilel, and we'll also cut off Gomilel's control over Godfrey."

He did it immediately.

After it was finished, it still did not stop, and carved its mark into Godfrey's soul.

This process is naturally very painful.

Godfrey screamed and almost lost his soul.

Fortunately, Rosen had done extensive research on the soul structure of void life and had been operating within Godfrey's endurance limit.

Half an hour later, the new soul imprint was completed.

Because life is dynamic, no imprint can remain effective forever.

But Rosen carved the mark very deeply, which could keep the binding effect for at least a hundred years.

After the branding was completed, Rosen opened the demon cage and ordered: "Hide in the void, continue the previous vanguard mission, and be my insider."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Godfrey became extremely docile.

Rosen gave him another wave of faith power to replenish the power he had previously consumed, and promised: "I am a person who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments. If you serve me and do a good job, I will never treat you unfairly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This comforted Godfrey a lot.

He slowly hid back into the void.

After watching them go away, Rosen immediately began to adjust his own forces and made some targeted arrangements against the unexpected force of the Night Knights.

A mortal force that can rival a powerful god is indeed very powerful. It would be very dangerous if you were attacked by it first.

But if the first-mover advantage is gone, then for Rosen, who has the "Eternal Heart" as a backup, it would be nothing more than a group of super soldiers.

It was eleven o'clock at night.

The Light God Clan's raid is about to be arranged.

It's about to start.

Rosen looked through the soul fog and looked into the void about 50 kilometers away.

There was a huge ball of light emitting silver light suspended there. It was the powerful level 12 god - Lord of the Moon, Shar.

Squinting at him, he thought to himself, "Ma'am, the cage has been set up for you, come quickly."
