Chapter 157 - 157 Mutation in the White Fog World



Kang De was shocked.

According to Tina, the crimson scroll was a record of the Curtain Invasion. The Curtain Invasion that happened on the Holy Seal Islands ended with the intervention of the gods.

According to this train of thought, the crimson scroll that recorded all this was in the hands of the so-called Seven Heroes family. It was probably also related to the gods… However, Tina did not know the inside story.

However, before that, Kang De’s personal experience could confirm this guess.

The power he felt and obtained from the scroll was vast and endless, ancient and deep, like the principle of the world, the vastness of the universe, and the vastness of time were recorded and remembered by such power.

At that time, Kang De had already understood that such power must come from the gods.

Just absorbing a little golden fire allowed Kang De to obtain the ability to accelerate his time. It was simply terrifying. Unfortunately, his body could no longer eat it. Otherwise, if he absorbed all the time and space divine power on the scroll, he would probably be able to become a Saint on the spot. What dogsh*t elf army? With a wave of his hand, he could reverse time and turn these sharp ears into little kids on the ground and beat them up until they cried.

However, now was not the time to think about these messy things.

The current Kang De had many questions in his heart.

He thought for a moment and first asked, “Do you know about the crimson scroll?”

Leona blinked. “What’s that?”

“…”

‘Alright, pretend I didn’t ask.’

After all, it was filled with ancient words. Moreover, the Curtain Invasion was so secretive that ordinary people would not know.

Kang De asked again, “I want to know more about the King of the Gods, Akatum.”

Leona looked bored and barely said, “Legend has it that this God King sorted out the chaotic nature of this world, calmed the spatial turbulence, erased the time vortex, and allowed the world to advance steadily and orderly. He’s the leader of the gods and the oldest god. He watches this world with a loving gaze. He’s the God of Justice and Mercy. That’s it.”

When Kang De heard this, his heart stirred slightly in thought.

He was about to figure out the mechanism of the scroll’s effect, why there was no abnormality when he first obtained it, but after returning to Earth and the other world, golden flames burned.

According to Hong San, that night, the scroll ignited with golden flames.

It was the night Kang De killed the elves who had slaughtered the village, realized the cruelty of the war, and thought about what to do… When he had that thought, he felt a certain change in his body, as if it was calling and resonating with something. At that moment, flames rose from the scroll.

Was this the God of Justice and Mercy…

He asked, “Is there anything else? What else has this god done? Or rather…”

Leona threw up her hands. “I don’t know.”

Kang De’s expression froze as if he was enjoying reading a book but the lousy author raised his hand and stopped the update. He was really angry so he glared and said, “Hey, you still said that I, a Cathayan, don’t understand the common sense here. You don’t understand either. This is the King of the Gods.”

Leona said eloquently, “I’m a businesswoman. How can I believe in the God of Justice and Mercy? I usually feel guilty when I mention him. How can I dare to know more about his miracles?”

—D*mn, this is really reasonable and convincing.

Leona actually patted Kang De’s shoulder instead. “Alright, I was only joking just now. Although you’ll marry Tina in the future and live on the continent for a long time, you don’t have to care too much about the gods and faith. You just have to understand some taboos slightly and maintain kindness and respect. That’s right.”

Kang De did not comment. He thought for a moment and asked, “You said that Sun God Sulla is the mainstream faith of Goethe?”

Leona already knew that the other party lacked common sense, so she did not find it strange. She nodded and said, “Yes.”

Kang De said, “Then introduce Sun God Sulla.”

“…”

The girl stared at him for a while before patting his shoulder and pointing in a certain direction in the city, “Over there, at the Sunshine Church of the Sun God Church. Go over there, knock, go in, show your identity as Princess Tina’s dead husband, meet the bishop, take out your huge axe, and slash him three times. Then tell him that you’re very interested in his faith, the God of Courage and Sincerity. The bishop will definitely hug your neck and tell you the legend and story of the Sun God for three days and three nights…”

“…”

There were too many things to complain about.

Kang De said with a subtle expression, “Can’t you tell me?”

Leona also revealed a subtle expression. “I really don’t know where to start…”

This was clearly an excuse. Kang De asked a few questions and the silver-haired girl was a little annoyed, so she said directly, “To be honest, I can’t guarantee that I can introduce this faith to you without cursing, but if I curse and the Goethe people around hear me, there will be unnecessary disputes. Moreover, I’m not from Goethe, so my understanding of the Sun God’s faith will definitely be superficial…”

In the end, she said, “If you’re interested, why don’t you ask Tina?”

Seeing that the other party’s rejection was firm, Kang De did not ask further.

She was right. He could ask Tina.

However…

There was only one reason why Kang De was interested in the Sun God, Sulla. The crimson scroll in his hand was related to the King of the Gods, Akatum. The time and space divine power of this scroll had allowed him to obtain magical power. In that case, it meant that the remaining seven crimson scrolls might have the same function.

The Tedrell family that Tina was from had one of them.

Since the main faith of Goethe was the Sun God, Sulla, the crimson scroll of the Tedrell family was very likely to have the divine power of the Sun God… What power would it give Kang De?

—Nuclear fusion divine power?

Thinking of this, Kang De laughed.

Leona frowned. “What are you laughing at?”

Kang De shook his head and said, “It’s nothing… I’m just suddenly interested in this church.”

Previously, he was interested in the Sun God Faith only because of the crimson scroll at Tina’s house. However, when he heard Leona’s description of this church today, he was interested.

When Leona heard this, she looked at Kang De a few times and snorted, “You’re quite in cahoots with that church—no wonder Tina likes you… No, you can think of that kind of scam. You should have…”

Her voice became softer and softer until she muttered softly.

Kang De asked, “What?”

Leona was about to speak when the clamoring voices surged over. The people who were singing, dancing, and cheering loudly walked over. Leading them were the three leaders of the Song, Chen, and Huang factions, as well as the unfamiliar faces of Goethe. They should be prestigious figures of the Goethe faction… Speaking of which, the composition of this team was quite awkward. Hong San actually did not expect to support one or two Goethe leaders to join the Heaven and Earth Association to fight those three guys.

Under the cover of the flames, Song Baoyi, Chen Honghu, and the others had obedient expressions. They had probably been frightened by Hong San in the afternoon, so they had not recovered yet. They shouted, “Military Advisor, come and drink!”

Kang De did not like to go to places with many people. Moreover, he was not familiar with these people and did not have any relationships. He could not adapt to drinking together for no reason.

Moreover, this so-called banquet reminded him of the banquet on the Holy Seal Islands that night. His dance with Tina, the knight’s smile, and the educational film lent to those Goethe sailors… There were many memories.

Unfortunately, everything had changed, leaving only two grown-ups.

He shook his head silently.

Chen Honghu and the others were probably all drunkards with rough personalities. They would not know anything after drinking a few catties of horse urine. Seeing that Kang De was unwilling to drink, they wanted to cause a commotion. However, under the dim lights, someone coughed softly.

It was Hong San.

Now, the Mountain Chieftain’s voice was louder than ever. In the ears of the three leaders, it was simply like a thunderclap. Song Baoyi reacted the fastest and shouted with a smile, “The Military Advisor is having a heart-to-heart with a lady. With a beauty beside him, who’s willing to hang out with us rough men? Brothers, continue drinking!”

Therefore, this group of people laughed and left noisily.

Leona asked, “What was that Cathayan talking about just now?”

She did not understand the Cathayan language.

Kang De said, “They called me to drink but I said that I was chatting with a beauty so they would not disturb me.”

Leona glanced at him and said, “Is this an opportunity to flatter me?”

Kang De turned to look at her. “Aren’t you beautiful?”

Therefore, the girl snorted and raised her head and chest, “Of course, I’m peerlessly beautiful.”

The two of them laughed.

The surrounding atmosphere was enthusiastic and laughter filled the air. As far as the eye could see, men, women, old, and young were all happy. The fragrance of food spread, and the flames that soared into the sky illuminated the surroundings as if it was the day.

On the other hand, Kang De and Leona watched this carnival under the dim lights.

Hong San was also watching. A small number of sober people were also watching. Mayor Nick was also watching. Many outsiders were also watching. This city was also watching.

Leona suddenly said, “I pity them.”

Kang De shook his head. “Look at the other parts of this city. Is anyone drinking? Is anyone celebrating? No. In the darkness, it’s unknown how many eyes are looking here. Perhaps there’s disdain or cursing, but I can guarantee that most gazes contain envy.”

“It’s very enviable that they can still know nothing at a time like this and drink noisily. At the very least, they can have a night of joy and enjoyment, temporarily dispel their fear, and embrace happiness…”

He said softly, “The rotation of the huge wheel of war is the decision of the higher-ups. It’s the competition and dispute of interests. Most of the benefits of war have been taken away by a small number of higher-ups. These weak and pitiful people always have no choice and can’t control their fate… They can only numb themselves with alcohol and be temporarily happy and not worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow has its own worries…”

Leona’s gaze was stunned.

She muttered, “That’s right. What can these weak and pitiful people do? They can’t control their fate and can only escape. They can only numb themselves and covet a night of pleasure…”

The girl sighed, “This world is always like this. These Goethe people are never the only ones who suffer… However, the various races and countries are flourishing day by day. The population is lush, and wealth has accumulated. How prosperous is it? However, no higher-up has ever cared about these insignificant people…”

She sighed.

However, he knew that such emotions were meaningless.

This was because the culprit behind all of this was extremely terrifying. This situation originated from the greed and selfishness of intelligent creatures. It was extremely complicated and troublesome. The truly terrifying thing was that all the higher-ups of this world were spontaneously maintaining this system that caused endless blood and sorrow…

However…

“I want to change all this.”

These words sounded beside him.

Leona suddenly turned.

Under the starry sky, the light of the flames was dim.

His tone was serious and his expression was firm.

Leona’s first thought was to mock this person for not knowing his place.

However, she immediately realized that she was not qualified to mock people who dared to speak.

Moreover, there was Kang De’s expression.

It was the appearance of a truly brave person who realized who the enemy he was facing was and knew how terrifying the enemy was and how slim his chances of winning were. He also dared to draw his sword and fight bravely.

Her heart skipped a beat as if she had been struck by a sledgehammer. “You…”

Kang De looked at her and smiled. “I can do it.”

Leona’s lips trembled. There seemed to be a thousand words in her chest, but she could not say a word. She was usually eloquent and pointed out the situation. After cursing this and that, there was nothing she did not dare to say.

However, now, she did not know what to say.

She did not know if she should mock or praise him, mock or admire him, curse or acknowledge him, but there was only one thing she could confirm—she knew the man in front of her again.

It was still noisy and lively outside. The banquet had not ended. People began to sing and dance. Kang De was alone and returned to his small building.

Leona, the old butler, and the others left.

The girl left behind gifts, the gold coins and accessories she had promised Kang De, a few magic items, and some magic medicines. They were put in two boxes. When he saw the contents, Kang De directly realized that he had freeloaded once again… Moreover, in terms of quantity, it had even surpassed Old Wang.

Who cares? He could just write an IOU. In the future, when he settled down, he had to resell things on both sides and prioritize letting Leona make this wealth. This money could be treated as an angel’s investment.

He closed the door and instructed the guards to set a trap. He lay on the bed and silently waited for time to pass. At midnight, after his transmigration ability recovered, he brought two boxes of investments to the white fog world.

After experiencing that long sense of nothingness, Kang De opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling.

He was about to get up when something unexpected happened.

He felt a burning sensation in his body. He looked down and saw golden flames raging. Then, the crimson scroll flew out of his pocket and floated in the air. It flew out of the open window and came to the outside world.

Kang De was shocked. He came to the window and looked out. He saw the scroll glow brightly, and an overwhelming golden light illuminated everything. The divine power of time and space surged out, spread, and covered the entire white fog world.
