The Family Head has ambition, but unfortunately, he lacks the ability to improve himself.
So he can only watch helplessly as the Speck family declines, powerless, which to him is the ultimate insult.
"I also know you've always feared the assassin from your holand, afraid of the Skebek family's revenge from the Yanor Kingdom. When the Yanor Kingdom was falling apart, that was your most joyous and spirited mont."
Todd speaks rcilessly, causing the Family Head to shiver with each word.
Not only because Todd's words hit his sore spot, but also because Todd is maliciously stoking the fire with words and Mad Fire's influence, providing a dual ntal stimulus that is causing his mindset to collapse.
"But the Yanor Kingdom not only overca all disasters but also improved. Since then, you worry every mont about revenge. Now, you hiss at the descendants of the enslaved beastn you captured back then like a cat, right?"
The Family Head's expression is as grim as a corpse's; if he were in the Sain Dungeon, he would probably be releasing spiritual power endlessly.
The descendants of the enslaved beastn refer to Luluwo.
The nobles who took Luluwo's parents away back then ca from the Speck family.
Todd is right, as the Speck Family Master increasingly sees everything as the Yanor Kingdom's revenge. When the Family Head learned that the rising adventurer Luluwo once held a grudge against his family, he already harbored intentions to kill.
That's why he entrusted Anleisi to do this.
"You really are pitifully insecure, Father."
Todd shook his head, sighing.
Then he saw the Family Head rolling his eyes and fainting, overwheld with anger.
The knight watching silently vowed never to get on Todd's bad side.
"Ah, it feels good."
Todd never felt so exhilarated before, feeling boundless energy surging throughout his body.
Considering his current status thanks to Mad Fire, he felt an urge to demonstrate even more loyalty.
"Then let's seize this montum and take control of the entire family."
He clenched his fist, his tone sowhat euphoric.
"And let the whole Upper City ignite!"
Suddenly, Todd was blinded by a piercing light that prevented him from opening his eyes.
Though it should be a frightening scene, he felt a familiar presence from the white light—it was the Mad Fire God!
So he remained calm.
When his vision returned, he saw a vibrant Mad Fire Sun before him; had he fallen into a kind of spiritual illusion?
Is the Mad Fire God here to reward ? Yes, it must be a reward for !
Todd barely had this thought when a powerful oppressive force emanated from the Mad Fire Sun, forcing him to his knees as large beads of sweat poured down, making him cling to the ground.
He felt no reward from the Mad Fire Sun, but rather...
A warning!
The Mad Fire directed a stern warning at him!
The Mad Fire Sun suddenly retreated, the white light dissipated, and the opulent room of the Family Head reappeared in his vision, as if all he had seen were re illusions.
Todd remained rooted, his body seemingly drained of its backbone, slumping to the ground with fear now evident in his eyes.
He angered the Mad Fire God!?
But why?
Suddenly, a thought struck him, glancing at the unconscious Family Head.
Because my previous thoughts were too reckless!
This is the real reason!
Promptly, Todd curbed his swelling ego, offering his most devout prayers to the Mad Fire God, vowing to abandon his rash ambitions and focus on clandestine growth.
As for the impact of that warning?
It left him with a radiant complexion.
Look, after committing a mistake, I've received a personal warning from the God, who supports and watches over constantly!
Who else can enjoy such supre glory!
"Plans have changed; here in the Upper City, we must proceed slowly."
Todd glanced at the Family Head and knight, muttering to himself:
"We shall remain hidden until the God allows us to act."
When the Mad Fire God gives the signal, the Mad Fire God Sect will unleash a major event.
Thus, under Todd's orders, the flourishing Mad Fire God Sect quickly toned down, hiding its flas in the shadows, and changed its infection plan for the Upper City to a gradual advance.
The era of rampant expansion was over; now it's ti for high-quality developnt!
————————————
"I knew people would inevitably beco arrogant after gaining achievents."
Scaroon, Hepa Town, inside a tavern near the Sain Teleportation Gate.
Gong Qiying watched Todd's figure through the Magic Glasses, unable to resist a comnt.
For the past ten days, his attention had been more focused on the developnt of the Mad Fire God Sect than on the Dungeon; it felt like watching the Sain Dungeon is his own child.
The reason Todd learned [Prayer: Mad Fire] was due to Gong Qiying having Geng Ghost sneak up and slap him with a Magic Book Page recorded with Mad Fire. The Mad Fire believers perceiving the Mad Fire Sun is an illusion conjured by Gong Qiying using his control over Mad Fire. The emotions Todd processed from the Mad Fire Sun were crafted by Gong Qiying.
Without him, the Mad Fire God Sect would inevitably disperse.
Overall, the sect's growth has t his expectations.
Todd's potential and talent are quite remarkable, and after acquiring Mad Fire, his performance hasn't been like so low-tier villain; it's been quite comndable.
When the Mad Fire God Sect unified the slums at the rate of one church per day under his leadership, Gong Qiying genuinely admired him.
Yet everyone has flaws after maintaining an advantage for over ten days; Todd inevitably beca overconfident.
In Gong Qiying's plans, the Mad Fire God Sect is a crucial card that should never be prematurely triggered. Hence, the scene of the Mad Fire Sun warning Todd unfolded.
"Mad Fire is indeed a potent counter against Huang Guang; these cards must be played wisely."
Combining Younka's past actions, Gong Qiying reasonably deduces that Huang Guang, now the Holy Light Pope, will likely attempt similar maneuvers, with faith collection already confird.
Hence, the Pope will definitely trigger a significant event upon gathering sufficient faith.
Just like the grandiose scene during Younka's ascension, Scaroon will surely witness anomalies.
That will be the Pope's most critical mont, allowing no interruptions, with defenses undoubtedly strict.
Strict defenses imply that interruptions would have severe consequences.
This card—Todd and the Mad Fire God Sect—will be activated at that ti.
In the Pope's ho ground—the capital of Scaroon—during his life's pivotal event.
Gong Qiying intends to make the Mad Fire God Sect explode on site.
Add a little fla to the Pope's vision!
"With the Mad Fire God Sect laying low, attention on them can be reduced. Now it's ti to focus on Dungeon matters."
Two weeks have passed.
For adventurers like Lulu Valion Finley, two weeks is sufficient to accomplish sothing astonishing.
At this mont, the altar flashes with light, delivering a letter from the Holy Light Underground City.
Gong Qiying tears it open and reads a single sentence:
[Each Dungeon receives increasingly less faith spirit power; that mont draws near]
He nods in agreent:
"Indeed, the ti for creating major events is approaching."
