A Demon's Journey

Edwin and the Pope stood in his personal chambers. Siluca had also talked to the Pope in these chambers.

On the other hand, Edwin was sitting on a chair, with the Pope standing in front of him with a polite and respectful expression on his face.

The mask on Edwin's face was gone. This was because he felt no need to use it, and it would be better for the Pope to know his face.

It wasn't like the Pope would link him to Edwin Rhodes, the Heir of the Rhodes House, so he felt no harm in revealing his face to the Pope.

Even the Pope was completely taken aback by his good-looking face. Edwin's handsome face contained a trace of holiness and elegance to it. The Pope was now completely sure that Edwin was a Holy Son.

"So you have realized my identity, huh?" Edwin spoke while staring at the Pope with a cold look.

It was as if he was contemplating what he should do with the Pope.

The Pope nodded his head and flattered him, "Such a divine and majestic aura could only belong to the Holy Son."

Edwin internally snickered at those comments and thought 'To think I would be treated as a Holy Son by the Pope of the Radiant Church. If the Celestials found out about it, their reactions would be hilarious.'

Although he was laughing at the Pope in his mind, Edwin's face remained emotionless as he stared at the Pope.

The Pope was growing nervous the longer Edwin stared at him without saying anything. Many thoughts were appearing in his head, but he didn't dare to say it.

Edwin decided it was time to get back to work. He spoke, "I came today under Siluca Walsh's orders to discuss the specifics regarding the Walsh Dukedom's cooperation with the Radiant Church. First, inform me what demands does the Radiant Church has."

The Pope remained silent for some time. He then opened his mouth and asked Edwin, "This old man would like to know something. Would the Holy Son answer me?"

"Depends on the question." Edwin instantly replied to the Pope.

The Pope nodded and then asked, "Why does the Holy Son work under the Walsh Dukedom? With your Divine Identity, you can command the entire Radiant Church. No… Not just the Radiant Church but all the Religions within the Sinyalian Kingdom."

The Radiant Church wasn't the only religion within the Sinyalian Kingdom. There were three more religions in the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Temple of Stars. Oracles of the Two Divines. And the Communion of the Nine Gods.

However, unlike the Radiant Church, the followers of these religions weren't spread in the entire Sinyalian Kingdom.

Their followers were rather selective, depending on the abilities of their god.

The Oracles of Two Divines had two gods. These two gods were the Wind God and the Lightning God.

From the name, it was clear that one of them controlled the Holy Wind while the other possessed the Holy Lightning.

Naturally, this lightning was the Tribulation Lightning. However, it was incomparably more powerful than Azaroth's Holy Lightning as it contained complete laws of the Tribulation Lightning.

Thus, the followers of the Oracles of the Two Divines were generally those who possessed the Wind or Lightning Ardor.

After becoming the followers of the Oracles of the Two Divines, they would find it easier to gain enlightenment in the laws relating to the Wind or Lightning Element.

Azaroth knew of this and was quite disdainful of this method. All those who had been blessed by the gods and wanted to boost their insight were just destroying their futures.

They would experience quick progress, but soon, they would begin to realize that it was getting harder for them to find a path for themselves.

After reaching the 6 Star Rank, a Warrior had to create a path for himself. That path must belong to the warrior, or else he would never be able to break through the bottleneck.

If they gained insight into laws because of the blessings of the gods, they were deviating from their original path. They wouldn't even realize it, but they would just be walking on the path of the God who had blessed them.

And once this deviation occurred, they would have to start from the very beginning.

Currently, Edwin was thinking about the question asked by the Pope. His silence sent a chill down the Pope's spine.

The Pope felt that he had asked something he shouldn't have.

"I guess I will humor you. My reason for working under the Walsh Duekdom is pretty simple. It's because before I awakened my Holy Bloodline, this woman Siluca saved my life. At that time, I made a decision to use this life and return that favor." Edwin spoke with an emotionless tone.

The Pope was relieved to hear this explanation. Many of his doubts had been answered.

Edwin's expression turned colder as he ordered, "I don't plan to inform her about my identity. So make sure no one randomly opens their mouth."

"I have received your command, Holy Son!" The Pope shouted excitedly.

He would immediately go and command everyone to keep it a secret. In fact, he would make them sign blood contracts to prevent them from revealing this information.

Edwin observed the Pope's emotions and knew that this man would handle it.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Nudar." Edwin gave away this name.

The Pope carefully remembered this name. He made sure he would never forget this name.

Edwin then spoke, "You mentioned earlier that with my identity, I can command the Radiant Church. Is that the truth?"

The Pope looked at Edwin and immediately replied, "As long as it doesn't lead to the Radiant Church's destruction, we would all listen to you, Lord Nudar."

This was expected by Edwin.

Even though the Pope greatly respected him because of his identity, he had pledged himself to the Radiant God.

If Edwin's Celestial Bloodline was related to the Radiant God, he could have directly commanded the Radiant Church to disband themselves and join the Walsh Dukedom.

Unfortunately, the Bloodline within Edwin's body wasn't related to the Radiant God. It appeared to be related to some other God.

Thus, Edwin couldn't give an extreme order to the Radiant Church. He could give them orders as long as it wouldn't place the Radiant Church in peril.

However, the status of the Holy Son was more than enough for him.

"Very well then. Then as the Holy Son, I order you to accept the alliance between the Radiant Church and the Walsh Dukedom." Edwin spoke with a domineering tone.

The order he had given wouldn't threaten the Radiant Church. In certain terms, both parties would benefit.

The Pope immediately replied, "Your command shall be followed, Holy Son."

"Very good." Edwin nodded and then ordered, "Gather all the experts of the Radiant Church scattered around the Sinyalian Kingdom. Send the bishops or the Archbishops to gather them. I don't care. I want to see them here in one week. I will inform Siluca Walsh to gather her experts as well. The Roger Dukedom must be destroyed!"

The Pope immediately nodded his head.

He first went to the priests and the bishops who had seen Edwin. He forced them to sign a blood contract to prevent them from speaking about Edwin's true identity.

They were only going to treat Edwin as a warrior from the Walsh Dukedom.

The Pope gave his Spatial Ring to Edwin. He informed Edwin that this Spatial Ring possessed the many Holy Materials and even a few Holy Weapons.

The materials within this Spatial Ring were so rare that the Array Association hadn't even heard about many of them.

The Pope had received these materials from outside the Sinyalian Kingdom. Most of them were offerings to the Radiant God.

Edwin swiped his glance through these resources and let out a sigh as nothing caught his attention.
