The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　In order to prove that it is the true Holy Church, the "True Holy Church" has been trying to summon the descent of the "Holy".

　It's as if once the "Saint" is truly summoned, the "Saint" will stand on their side, take everything from the Holy Church, and bestow it upon them, the true believers.

　The Holy Church should have eradicated this kind of sect. But in reality, it didn't.

　Records show that, apart from one instance where a member of the "True Holy Church" attacked a member of the "Holy Church" due to a dispute over authenticity and was subsequently burned at the stake, the Holy Church unexpectedly tolerated the existence of the "True Holy Church."

　If we examine it closely, the "Holy Church" probably sees the "True Holy Church" as a joke.

　Indeed, the number of members in the "True Holy Church" has never exceeded double digits.

　So this time, the "True Holy Cult" actually managed to summon an "evil god." This must have been quite a surprise to the Holy Cult.

　Who knows, this time when we go back, the "True Saint Cult" will be completely eradicated.

　Dak continued to examine the data.

　The "evil god" summoned by the "True Saint Cult" could not possibly be a true "saint".

　Based on the descriptions, its true form should be a "God of Light". The "God of Light" summoned by the "True Holy Church" is a humanoid god wearing a mask of light.

　Its radiance is extremely dazzling; its shape can still be seen from a distance. But once you get close, you will completely lose your sight and see only a white blur.

　Fortunately, once it was summoned, it remained standing still, and the only action it took was to raise its right hand and then "glow".

　Unlike all other "evil gods", this god's remains showed absolutely no offensive intent other than "glowing".

　Of course, it's also possible that, for it, "glowing" is already a form of attack.

　Darke refers to it simply as (Holy Light God).

Chapter 1421 Darkdemon and the Card of God (4k)

　Following the "True Holy Cult," Dak turned his attention to the sixth document. This document described another bizarre organization, named the "Beef Cult." The "Beef Cult" and the "Bread Cult" were essentially from the same lineage. However, compared to the "Bread Cult," the "Beef Cult" had a significantly higher social class.

　After all, the "bread cult" seeks sustenance, while the "beef cult" seeks a more advanced culinary experience.

　The "Beef Cult" hopes that a "divine cow" exists in this world. This "divine cow" has the ability to regenerate its body indefinitely, and every part of its meat is of perfect quality.

　They pursue high-quality beef, will pay high prices for rare cuts, and frequently hold beef tasting events.

　Those invited to the beef tasting event, besides famous gourmets, were mostly wealthy or aristocratic individuals.

　Because it is a heretical sect that only spreads on a small scale, the "Beef Cult" is not on the Holy Church's list of targets.

　It was unexpected that the followers of the "Beef Cult" would be so fanatical as to attempt to summon an evil god.

　Before this, most people who had heard of it thought it was just a "beef lovers' club".

　The "Beef Cult" worships a certain "god of food." But what they want to summon is a "divine cow."

　But what they ultimately summoned was a rotting monster. Dak flipped through the files and looked at the photo of the "divine bull." The "divine bull" was a monster about two stories tall, its overall shape resembling a bull, but only its head was intact.

　However, the horns on the bull's head have the distinct characteristics of "devil's horns".

　Apart from its head, its entire body was rotting, with only a huge piece of cowhide hanging from its back, reaching all the way to the ground.

　It was difficult to see its limbs from its appearance alone; the rotting flesh was connected and hung down, forming a pile of decaying flesh on the ground.

　With the slightest movement, the rotting flesh would continuously fall off. But just as the followers of the "Beef Cult" expected, the rotting flesh seemed endless.

　However, upon seeing the "divine cow" they had summoned, the followers of the "Beef Cult" did not joyfully step forward to devour it; instead, they vomited on the spot.

　They hadn't eaten anything, yet they all died of food poisoning, which was extremely bizarre.

　The information refers to the "divine ox" as the "corpse ox".

　The [corpse bull] has obvious undead characteristics, but according to the maids' investigation, these undead characteristics are most likely caused by incorrect rituals.

　The twisted and cruel evil god ritual resulted in the "divine bull" that was eventually summoned being reduced to rotting corpses.

　Its true form should be a third-level god in the form of some kind of beast. This inference is based on...

　This is because the "corpse bull's" attack method is completely contrary to its form. It drags its broken body full of rotting flesh to perform attacks such as "ramming", and then drops rotten corpse pieces all over the ground.

　Furthermore, due to its decaying body, it moves extremely slowly when it performs "impact," posing no threat to powerful individuals.

　Then, it will unleash an attack similar to a "roar". But once it starts roaring, air leaks from its throat, and the intended sonic attack becomes like the sound of wind blowing into a dilapidated house.

　According to the records, the "corpse bull" also stomped its feet during the attack. However, the final result of stomping its feet was that its rotting flesh and bones completely disintegrated into a puddle.

　In short, this behavior is clearly inconsistent with its form.

　Therefore, the maids judged that it was not originally an immortal being, but most likely a very ordinary beast god who became a god through physical means.

　In short, it is far from "stealing from the evil god".

　……

　After experiencing the "Beef Cult" for firsthand, Dak turned to the last document.

　The organization described in this document is arguably the largest of the seven organizations he selected.

　Its name is "Trauma Psychology Association," and it is not officially a religious organization. Rather, it is simply a medical organization that provides psychological treatment for people with psychological trauma.

　But in reality, it is a genuine "cult"! Yes, completely different from the previous six sects, the "Trauma Psychology Association" is a full-fledged cult.

　Its founder, who is also the current leader, is a count who lost his territory in the war.

　Leveraging his noble status and positive public image and reputation, the count repeatedly lured people with severe psychological trauma into joining the "Trauma Psychology Society," ostensibly to help them heal their trauma. However, his true aim was to brainwash these followers.

　People with severe psychological trauma have obvious psychological weaknesses.

　These types of people are very vulnerable, and it is very easy to brainwash them by targeting their weaknesses.

　The count exploited this to continuously expand his followers, and then deprived them of their property, power, and other possessions.

　The "Trauma Psychology Society" was established towards the end of the war and then rapidly expanded due to its unique circumstances. By the time it was discovered, it had become a behemoth.

　However, that was only a very rare occurrence for Dark.

　The "Trauma Psychology Society" launched a massive resistance against the Inquisition, which caused a great sensation both at home and abroad at the time.

　The final result of that battle was undoubtedly a victory for the Holy Church, while the "Trauma Psychology Society" was recorded as being completely annihilated.

　However, in reality, a complete annihilation was simply impossible. This was because, by that time, the "Trauma Psychology Society" had already infiltrated the upper echelons of the nobility; many high-ranking nobles' parents, wives, and children were members of the society.

　However, after that first experience, the Holy Church has always been on high alert against this type of organization. Therefore, it has never been given the opportunity to rise again.

　However, the "Trauma Psychology Society" is not completely dead; some members still participated in this incident involving the evil god, attempting to revive the sect by summoning their own god. After obtaining the list, the Holy Church will likely launch another purge against the remnants of the "Trauma Psychology Society."

　However, although the "Trauma Psychology Association" is a complete cult, the god they worship is not an "evil god".

　The Holy Church has conducted a comprehensive study of the doctrines of the "Trauma Psychology Society." Therefore, the maids directly brought over the Holy Church's research materials. The god worshipped by the "Trauma Psychology Society" is named Pusena. This deity can be categorized as a "god of fate" in the genealogy. In mythological accounts, Pusena is the god of psychology and destiny. It is said that Pusena's most frequently used authority is the "psychological beast," which can manifest human psychology in the form of a "monster."

　This was naturally appealing to Darkdemon, who focused on the study of psychic powers.

　The "evil god" ultimately summoned by the "Trauma Psychology Association," which is the mindless remains of the "God of Psychology and Destiny," is a god resembling a giant mask.

　The mask floated in the air, black on the front and white on the back, like the contrast between night and day.

　Darke refers to it simply as the "psychological mask." The power of the "psychological mask" is extremely mysterious.

　Those who look directly at it will see their own "psychological beast," and then, as if under an illusion, will fight against the "psychological beast" in the illusion.

　Those who look directly at it from behind will have their self-awareness transformed into a "psychological beast," gradually being devoured by their animalistic instincts.

　That force nearly wiped out the entire "demon-slaying team" that went to subdue it.

　Finally, Principal Arte secretly intervened, weakening its power, which allowed the members of the "Exorcism Team" to wake up from the illusion of the mind.

　"The 'psychological mask' undoubtedly has immense research value." "But it is also extremely dangerous, especially for me."

　"But if the research yields results, it might further enhance my mental power, thereby strengthening my control over 'great sins.'"

　Darke finally listed the seven "evil gods" as follows: [Savior], "Bread God", "Three-Headed Dragon God", "Water God", "Holy Light God", "Corpse Ox", and "Psychological Mask".

　The deity corresponding to its physical form is roughly as follows:

　"God of Stars and Life", "Earth Goddess", "Dragon God", "Water God", "God of Light", "Ox God", and "God of Psychology and Destiny".

　Regardless of whether those heretical organizations are good or evil, they must have paid a huge price to develop these methods of summoning evil gods.

　Moreover, those research processes were certainly not good.

　If Dark were to research it on his own, he probably wouldn't be able to figure it out in his entire life.

　Only through actions like "picking fruit" can one obtain it.

　He repeatedly looked at the information about the seven gods, pondering how to conduct research based on this information and what the possible research results might be.

　And this is not an isolated case.

　Principal Arte was having similar thoughts.

　However, her thinking was not limited to "righteous gods," but also included information on "evil gods."

　Her line of reasoning differed from Dark's. Broadly speaking, it was limited to two aspects: which "evil gods" were useful, and which "evil gods" could be dealt with.

　To reach the pinnacle of magical divine path, one must make significant progress in the research of "God Cards".

　"Divine energy" naturally gathers around her, possessing a much larger amount of "divine energy" than Dark.

　This "summoning of the evil god" incident is very likely the "fate" that arose from this, and of course, it is not just her "fate".

　Under normal circumstances, whether one summons an evil god or a righteous god, it can be called a "miracle".

　Therefore, if described in terms of "fate," Dark's ability to forge a new "Cosmic Brain Beast" before arriving in the City of Freedom can be categorized as "guidance from fate."

　Of course, this concept is very abstract and cannot be deeply pondered.

　In short, the information on "Summoning the Evil God" was Dark's biggest gain from this trip.

　He classified the information as top secret and had Ollie and Chris personally teach it to Alvitt.

　After Alvitt or Claire have fully reviewed the information on "Summoning the Evil God," he should have already returned to the academy, at which point they can communicate in detail using the "Spiritual Connection Technique."

　During his repeated contemplation, he suddenly had a very clear feeling.

　—Times are really changing!

　This large-scale "summoning of evil gods" is more than just a trigger. If we also call the "summoning of evil gods" a "miracle."

　In such a short period of time, within its known scope, such a large number of "miracles" have already occurred.

　His opportunity was so immense that it cannot be replicated. But if it were only one in a hundred, or one in ten, how many people would encounter a single "miracle"? "It's a race against time."

　Dark suddenly turned to look at Aurora, who had just murmured something. When she noticed Dark looking over, her cheeks flushed red.

　“You’re right,” Dark said. “It really is a race against time.”

　Magic alchemy may seem chaotic, but it is actually always subject to rules.

　Some magic cards are limited to one, while others are limited to three or four.

　Without a doubt, the "God Card" will also be subject to this type of rule.

　While it may not be limited to "one per person," it certainly won't be more than that.

　Therefore, if you really want to create a "God Card" that possesses the power of a certain deity, you should do it as soon as possible!

　This is a contest against those who refuse to yield. Strike first, or you'll gain the upper hand!

　Aurora has clearly realized this as well.

　She glanced at Nix, who was sitting on the sofa reading a comic book, and frowned, saying, "In that case, is it possible for someone to forge Nix's 'God Card'?"

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. The 'God Cards' Hermes mentioned are probably magic cards containing fragments of divine souls. A fully revived, complete god is not within the scope of the 'God Cards.'"

　But no sooner had he finished speaking than Aurora abruptly asked, "What about Ergane?"

　“Erganie.” Dark’s expression froze, suddenly realizing. Erganie is the “Goddess of Wisdom,” and now it is almost certain that she actually originated from Athena, the “Goddess of War and Wisdom.”

　Therefore, although she appears complete now, she is not necessarily so. Because, like those "evil gods," she is merely a part of Athena.

　She originally belonged to Athena's heart. Later, through a ritual, her body and soul were completed, and then Dark gave her intelligence, or consciousness, which is why she has her current complete form.

　However, this "complete form" is clearly "incomplete" relative to Athena's true form.

　According to Hermes, before the twelve Olympian gods are fully revived, mages are not incapable of forging the God Cards of the twelve Olympian gods.

　This naturally includes Athena.

　So, is the final God Card—"Athena"—Athena or Ergane?

　Furthermore, what would happen if Ergane's true form—Athena—were fully resurrected?
