Chapter 236 Small-Scale Renovation of "Dark Abode"

Chapter 236 Small-Scale Renovation of "Dark Abode"

Raphael sat quietly in the chair in the "Dark Hut," feeling the increased power he had gained after his advancement.

First, the "Lord of Malice" has more abilities, including the ability to use "curses" and "magma".

Unfortunately, these abilities did not undergo a qualitative change in level; their power was close to that of Sequence 2, but not yet at the level of Sequence 2.

Of course, this is from Raphael's perspective, looking at the level of the "Lord of Evil's" abilities.

To others, the Lord of Malice's abilities seem to have surpassed Sequence 2.

In other words, although the "Lord of Evil Desires" has some more tricks up his sleeve, he is still mainly using them to intimidate people.

Saints and angels can definitely be fooled. However, the true God can certainly see through Raphael's true intentions, but as for the King of Angels, it's hard to say for now.

This was more than enough for Raphael!

If you encounter a true god, run away as fast as you can. Even with the protection of "Dark Lodge," you will still be badly hurt by the opponent.

Thinking of this, Raphael smiled. In any case, his ability to protect himself had improved considerably.

He then looked around and decided to temporarily renovate the "dark quarters" area under his control.

The current scene inside "Dark Lodge" is a volcano and a valley filled with the smell of sulfur. When Raphael entered the place, he felt that the design was really not aesthetically pleasing.

So once they had a certain degree of control, they would definitely want to "renovate" the place.

First, Raphael removed the pavilion and replaced the wooden chair he was sitting on with a high-backed chair made of dark crystal. He transformed the entire courtyard into a magnificent crystal palace, isolating it from the view of the lava and valley outside.

Raphael sat on a high platform at the deepest part of the hall, looking down at the "Source of the Curse" and the "Pool of Astral Spirits".

The four former owners of the Dark Abode were still in their original positions, but they had moved from the wooden corridor to a corner of the Crystal Palace.

The ground was also completely replaced with crystal flooring, making the "Source of the Curse," which resembled a puddle, look even more translucent.

Of course, the biggest change is to the "Pool of Astral Spirits". Previously, every astral spirit associated with the "Dark Lodge" was a ball of flame in the magma.

Now Raphael could finally remodel this place. With a wave of his hand, the previous lava pool instantly turned into a crystal-clear puddle like the "Source of the Curse," and each celestial being became a small blue crystal.

These crystals are piled at the bottom of the puddle and only light up when the corresponding person prays. Crystals prayed to the "Lord of Evil Desires" will not only light up but also float on the surface of the water.

After doing all this, Raphael looked around and felt that something was still missing.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his hand again, and crystals of varying sizes appeared, floating in mid-air and slowly rotating.

This made the entire "Crystal Palace" instantly mysterious.

Raphael nodded in satisfaction. This was all the area he could control for now, so he could only modify it up to this point.

Now that he had arrived at the "Dark Lodge," Raphael picked up a few glowing crystals and examined them. This was something he had been doing recently: observing those who prayed to the "Mother Tree of Desire" to see if there was an opportunity to incite internal strife among them, or to select a few to develop into his followers.

This includes the "devil" encountered in the "Eye of Illusion" incident not long ago. According to observation, this "devil" is a member of the North family, and his disguise is a wealthy man living in the suburbs of Backlund.

The reason for living there was to facilitate the disposal of corpses and cover up the crime. This "devil" frequently tortured and killed his servants, and in addition to disposing of the bodies, he also needed to recruit new servants regularly.

If you live in the suburbs, as long as the servants you hire aren't locals, their deaths won't attract any attention.

Currently, this "devil" has several extraordinary subordinates, but they are mostly "demons" or extraordinary individuals below that level.

Raphael is currently just observing the other party routinely, but if given the chance, Raphael will do everything in his power to kill this "devil," after all, he is a devout believer of the "Mother Tree of Desire."

However, the conditions are certainly not in place yet. The "Lord of Evil Desires" may be able to intimidate this "devil," but he may not be able to kill him.

After he escaped, I became wary, and it became harder to kill him later.

As Raphael was studying the devil's daily cruelty to humans, another small crystal suddenly emitted a faint light and floated to the surface of the puddle.

This is currently the only crystal that can float on water on its own, and it comes from the priest Zed of the "Forsaken Land".

Raphael extended his spiritual power and heard Zede reporting on the situation in Sen'er City. They had confirmed that the main force of the Pydis City-State was approaching Sen'er City, and war was expected to break out in a few days.

Because Sen'er City has been at a disadvantage in battle for a long time, only three demigods remain in the city, and none of them are in good condition.

It seems that Pythias has deployed four to five demigods this time. Without external assistance, they may not be able to defend Sen'er City in this battle.

Zeder then reported that he would attend the war council in Sen'er City later, and that if the Lord of Evil Desires was interested, he could also cast his gaze toward the meeting.

After his promotion, Raphael was allowed to stay in the "Dark Lodge" for 6 hours a day, so he simply waited and followed Zeder into the venue.

His main purpose was to check how many of Sen'er City's high-ranking officials had been "parasitized" by Amon's clone. He found that Amon's clone seemed to be very restrained, only "parasitizing" the high priest of Sen'er City.

After a moment's thought, Raphael marked all the high-ranking officials who had not been "parasitized" by Amon's clone.

This way, they could be observed at any time, and Raphael could also be aware when they were "parasitized".

As for their meeting, Raphael didn't listen much; he was considering whether to increase investment in Sener City.

Because he can currently descend to Sen'er City through "Dark Lodge," and the people of Sen'er City can be transferred to other places with the help of "Dark Lodge," such as being sent to the Southern Continent in the future to work on the "Rose School."

However, only seven people can be "transported" using "Dark Lodge" per day. It is believed that this number will increase after the next promotion.

In that case, it would be worthwhile to cultivate the extraordinary individuals of Sener City into an extraordinary organization capable of fighting everywhere.

Raphael tapped his fingers on the armrest of the crystal chair, thinking that this battle needed to be fought beautifully.

A land forsaken by God.

As Klein carried the lantern forward, his spirit sensed that the time was almost up, so he turned into a phantom and his consciousness returned to his original body hidden in the "mist of history".

His spirit entered the "Source Castle" and sat in the position belonging to the "Fool," first sending a signal to the "Sun."

Let him prepare.

Then create the "world" and wait for the time to begin the Tarot session.
