“Solo the Dark Castle?” Charles smiled, seemingly unconvinced, and said, “Actually, I can do that too.”
“What!?” Musashi Ten’s eyes immediately widened.
He looked at Charles’s points, thinking that if Charles could really Solo a Dark Castle, he would not have such few points.
Obviously, Charles’s points all came from Missions and Monsters, he definitely had not Soloed a Dark Castle.
Seeing Musashi Ten’s expression, Charles naturally knew he did not believe him.
However, Charles was not angry at all. He just smiled faintly with a holy aura around him.
“Soloing the Dark Castle isn’t actually the Dragon Country representative’s own ability. He was able to do it because he borrowed an external power.”
“External power? What do you mean!?” Jin Chenghan was very curious.
Charles smiled and said. “In three minutes, I’ll tell you the answer.”
Jin Chenghan and Musashi Ten were confused, but then realized Charles probably wanted to reveal some big secret without letting the Cherry Blossom Country and Extremistis Country’s delegates hear it.
…
At this moment, in the observation room of the Cherry Blossom Country and Extremistis Country, there was a knock on both doors.
Jin Zaian had wanted to hear what the ‘external power’ Charles was referring to, and why Charles was so confident he could also Solo a Dark Castle. However, such thoughts were interrupted when he heard the knock.
Jin Zaian naturally knew who was outside. Although reluctant, he waved his hand, gesturing to his subordinate to open the door.
After the door opened, sure enough, it was someone from Star Strip Country.
This person was not a delegate sent from Star Strip Country. Rather, this person was from the Moore Family. Jin Zaian did not dare to be negligent and rose to greet them.
The person outside was polite, smiling slightly at Jin Zaian and said: “Delegate Jin, our Moore Family invites you and everyone present to e out for a discussion about matters concerning the National Trial.”
How could Jin Zaian not understand their meaning? He nodded and agreed to it, “Alright, I understand.”
He soon turned to all his followers and said. “Everyone follow me out, and close the observation room.”
The Moore Family member smiled/ “Thank you for your cooperation, Delegate Jin.”
Afterward, this person led Jin Zaian and the others to a place far from the observation room.
Here, delegates from other countries had already arrived.
However, the Star Strip Country delegate had not appeared.
Jin Zaian and the Cherry Blossom Country’s delegate exchanged glances but did not municate much, just waiting to see when they could return to their observation rooms.
…
In the Secret Realm, Charles seemed to understand everything happening in the outside world. After the Cherry Blossom Country and Extremistis Country delegates had all been invited to leave the observation room, Charles finally spoke in an unhurried manner: “Three minutes have passed, now I can tell you some secrets.”
“Actually, the Dragon Country representative has a mysterious power helping him. You mentioned before that all the Monsters you saw in the Dark Castle had a suffix called ‘Fallen Corpse Puppet’ in their names, even the Demon General was no exception, right?”
Jin Chenghan and Musashi Ten nodded repeatedly.
Jin Chenghan frowned and asked, “Do you know what this ‘Fallen Corpse Puppet’ actually is?”
“Of course I do.” Charles nodded with a smile, “’Fallen Corpse Puppet’ is just a Monster created when something is tainted by a trace of a terrifying existence’s aura, causing it to bee a ‘Fallen Corpse Puppet’.”
“Terrifying existence!?” Musashi Ten and Jin Chenghan were simultaneously shocked.
Charles nodded and further explained, “Yes, it’s an existence equivalent to Divinity… In Dragon Country’s secret files, it’s called an ‘Ancient God’, so let’s use that name for now.”
This was another term they had never heard before, making Musashi Ten and Jin Chenghan even more confused.
Seeing their reaction, Charles thought for a moment and said. “In short, an Ancient God is Divinity — an omnipotent Divinity. For Humans who have not reached the threshold of Divinity, obtaining a trace of an Ancient God’s power is like a divine gift, capable of bringing about a plete transformation.”
Hearing this, Musashi Ten and Jin Chenghan thought about certain things regarding Charles.
Charles’s Profession Change had been very mysterious, and no one knew how he had suddenly bee a Holy Saint.
Could it be related to this so-called Ancient God’s power?
Charles did not hide anything from Musashi Ten and Jin Chenghan. As his lips curved upward slightly, a holy, semi-transparent manifestation appeared behind him.
This manifestation deliberately did not release any pressure, but upon seeing it, Musashi Ten and Jin Chenghan felt an overwhelming urge to kneel down in worship.
Both unconsciously stepped back, resisting the urge to kneel only through their willpower. At the same time, they both saw that this manifestation had six pairs of wings, very similar to legendary messengers in fables.
However, unlike Angels, there was an inexplicable eeriness about this manifestation.
It was precisely this eeriness that made others certain it was definitely not an Angel.
“What… what is that thing?” Both were extremely shocked.
Charles opened his palm and smiled. “This is the power of an Ancient God.”
As he spoke, the golden light from the manifestation behind him grew brighter, then split apart and gathered in Charles’s palm, forming three golden feather-like substances.
These substances floated above Charles’s hand, appearing very ethereal.
Jin Chenghan and Musashi Ten were amazed as they stared at these three feathers.
Charles added, “These are three strands of Ancient God Essence I obtained before ing here. A single strand of this Ancient God Essence can be transformed into an attack of immense power, strong enough to destroy any Hell Demon Army, destroy any Dark Castle.”
“That powerful?” Musashi Ten drew in a sharp breath.
Charles nodded and said. “Of course. These three strands of Ancient God Essence are my trump card for the National Trial. Originally, I did not want to use them. But I did not expect someone else in this Secret Realm to have something similar to this, even using it to subjugate the Nine Hell Demons.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Chenghan’s eyes widened/ “You mean Lu Fan can enslave the Demon General because he used something similar!?”
Charles said. “Exactly. Fallen Corpse Puppets are products controlled by Fallen Corpse Ancient God Essence. Since the Monsters have the suffix ‘Fallen Corpse Puppet’ in their names, they must have been influenced by the same Ancient God Essence.”
Jin Chenghan frowned. “If this thing is really that powerful, and both you and Lu Fan have Ancient God Essence, what makes you confident you can defeat him?”
Charles smiled and added, “I should have it while he doesn’t have any now.”
“A Human body can’t contain too much Ancient God Essence, each person can only carry three strands at most. You said the Dragon Country representative has already claimed the points from three Dark Castles, right? If so, how could he possibly have any Ancient God Essence left?”
