Chapter 359: DiscoveredTranslated by: La0o9

Proofreader:  Arya

At the Fuxi Empire, Varona had declared herself Monarch in front of the entire world.

Her coronation was now officially finished.

At the same time.

The Holy Empire.

All the Fiendkind had died.

The Holy Empire’s capital was heavily devastated after this attack.

The Holy Church’s sanctuary has been levelled.

The only usable part left of the once grand structure was its underground facilities.

A hidden chamber below the church.

Isa stood before a large reservoir of blood, sighing tiredly.

“Come, I now call upon you” she chanted.

A card was floating above the reservoir of blood.

Following her chant, the card let out an ashen grey light that shone on the reservoir of blood.

[Devil Summoning Card]

[Note: Using this card, you can siphon power from unlimited amount of souls in order to guide a soul from another world]

An echoing voice came from the blood reservoir: 「 You’ve done well, the ritual is almost complete, I only need a bit more time to gather my powers before I can descend upon your world 」

“Asmodeus, when you come to this world, will you really protect me?” Isa asked.

Asmodeus said nothing.

A card flew out from the blood reservoir, gently floating in front of Isa.

The card was obscured by a burning bright layer of flames, making it impossible to know what it depicts.

“What is this?” Isa curiously asked.

「 An unspeakable card, carry it with you, at a specific time, it will automatically activate to save you from harm 」 Asmodeus answered.

The card fell into Isa’s hands.

Isa was a bit hesitant.

A card whose effect cannot be determined isn’t something she’s willing to use.

Not to mention, a Devil’s item isn’t something you can just take.

She spoke: “I want to check this card a little bit”

“Go ahead”

Isa placed the card on her forehead, carefully sensing it.

A feeling of protection gradually drifted around, enveloping her.

Holding this card obscured in flame in hand, Isa could feel a deep layer of protection.

This card assured her.

With her competence as a card user, Isa’s card intuition wouldn’t make a mistake.

“Thank you, Asmodeus” Isa put the card away and said.

「 No need, just make sure to be careful and ensure your own safety before I get there 」Asmodeus spoke.

His tone seemed a bit worried.

And Isa noticed.

Her tone became a bit more respectful: “Then, I shall take my leave first”

「 You may go 」Asmodeus.

Isa left the blood reservoir.

A deep sigh could be heard from the blood reservoir.

When Isa made it back to the surface, she noticed Great Holy Apostle Hurt and Cardinal Kid were hurriedly coming towards her.

“What is it?” Isa asked.

“Kid said that he found intelligence about that person” Hurt reported.

“Which person?”

Just as Isa asked, she immediately remembered.

The Confederate military officer who wrecked Madame Punta’s banquet, fought her and managed to get away via warp.

The bastard that dared to make a fool out of myself!

“Speak” Isa ordered.

“Please take a look, your holiness”

Cardinal Kid turned on his Holo-Brain and projected the screen for them to see.

The Fuxi Empire.

Varona’s coronation.

At her call, a golden-armored swordsman appeared, killing the monster and the military official.

“Is that him?” Isa asked.

Cardinal Kid: “When he escaped from Madame Punta’s banquet, he was wearing that armor”

“Are you sure?”

“Very, my whip couldn’t penetrate that armor at all, I wouldn’t mistake it for anything else” Kid answered.

Isa squinted her eyes, staring at the golden-armored swordsman.

Her gaze fell on the golden-armored swordsman’s sword.

“Yes, that’s him, I remember that sword!” she rubbed her chin as she spoke.

“Then that means he’s a Fuxian” Hurt commented.

“No wonder no matter how much we search the Confederate we still couldn’t find such a person” Kid spoke excitedly.

Isa contemplated for a while, then spoke: “We have the Fuxi Empress’ invitation to her coronation do we not?”

“We do”

“If we fly there now, how long will it take?”

“Using a super-speed shuttle, we will arrive in time for the noon banquet”

“Very well, Kid will stay here and take over the situation. Hurt, come with me to Fuxi”

“Yes” the two Apostles bowed.

Isa muttered: “I finally found you, now I’m really curious about what you took from the Holy Empire”

Not too long later, the super-speed shuttle rose up to the sky and headed for the Fuxi capital.

…

The Fuxi Empire.

Capital.

The noon banquet.

Everything was highly simplified and quick-paced.

The world leaders gathered here to discuss emergency measures against hell’s invasion.

There were also rumors of a new crucial technology being released to the public by Confederate scientists.

Even if that’s the case, you can’t make so many world leaders discuss on an empty stomach.

Which is why they had arranged a light banquet for all the leaders to eat before the long meeting.

On the conference podium, Her Majesty the Monarch made a short welcoming speech.

The noon banquet started.

All the world leaders sat down one by one.

The Monarch came to each table to greet the world leaders, politicians and celebrities.

Her demeanor was calm, graceful and alluring, the crown on her head could almost be seen to be flickering with light.

Everything was harmonious.

Suddenly, a royal guard slowly ran towards her and whispered something to the Monarch.

She then excused herself and left together with the welcoming official and her royal guards.

Everyone was curious.

But soon enough, they found out why.

The banquet hall opened as the Monarch walked side by side with four people, talking and smiling as they walked.

The oldest person was one that everyone here knew.

The Freedom Confederate President.

The other three younger people were a bit harder to discern.

But from the Monarch’s attitude, she seems to be closer to the three youth.

That’s very strange.

What’s even more strange was the Confederate President himself was also very familiar with these three youths.

“I want the profiles of those three” Isa spoke.

She sat silently together with Hurt alone, as no one dared to try and speak to her.

“Yes”

Hurt turned on his Holo-Brain and accessed the Holy Church’s intelligence network.

Very quickly, he projected the information from the Holo-Brain in front of the Pope.

Reading through their profiles, the Pope glanced at the three of them.

“A renowned King of Assassins, a famous scientist, hmm, and a nameless nobody”

“…What a strange combination”

The Pope muses for a bit, then abruptly exclaimed: “No wait, why does that scientist give me such a familiar feeling?”

She had an urge to draw cards to peek into destiny.

But she held it down.

This place is a solemn banquet, if I drew cards here, wouldn’t that make me a show for them all to see?

At this time, a welcoming official of the palace stepped forward.

Facing the Pope, he was so nervous sweat was dripping down his forehead, but he maintained a perfect smile.

The official placed a rectangular envelope in front of the Pope and respectfully bowed.

The Pope reached out to check the card.

After the noon banquet, a world conference will be held to discuss countermeasures against the Apocalypse.

“I will be there on time” she spoke.

“Understood, your holiness” the official turned to leave.

Only after getting away from the Pope’s table did he silently sighed from relief.

Isa evaluated Varona.

The Monarch had just shown a few esteemed guests to their table, chatted with them a bit and was about to leave.

As the host, she needs to arrange the upcoming world conference.

Isa thought for a bit, then raised her hand and waved at the Monarch.

Since her every action were being monitored closely, this gesture was noticed by a lot of people.

Monarch Varona would of course also noticed.

Varona turned to look at Isa.

Their eyes met.

Isa spoke: “Varona, might I have a word?”

The banquet hall fell silent.

One of them murdered an entire royal family, stole the country’s authority, leader of a spiritual organization and a peak 5th stage powerhouse.

The other was the victim of said murder, even her husband had died, only to stay strong without falling and once again hold the power over nation.

The grudge between them should run deep.

But at this time, the Pope had smiled and invited the Monarch for a chat.

Before the Monarch had responded, a royal guard suddenly stepped out and spoke up first: “If you have anything to say, please do. There is no need to get close to the Monarch”

True enough, it was common knowledge that the Pope was a powerful person that could rival even the Fuxi Emperor, the strongest Professionist in Fuxi.

Although the Monarch herself was a Professionist, their strength couldn’t possibly be compared.

If the Pope wanted to kill the Monarch, all it takes is a single strike from a close distance.

“Varona, are you scared of me?” Isa asked.

Varona smirked sarcastically: “You should refer to me as Her Majesty the Monarch, Isa”

Isa stared straight at her and softly spoke: “Is that so? But you are also calling me by name”

“Of course I am, tell me, what position do you hold? Usurper? King Murderer?”

“I am the Holy Church’s Pope”

Varona replied: “The Holy Church belongs to the Medici clan, this generation’s clan head, Anna Medici, has yet to recognize your authority”

The Pope’s smile slowly rescinded.

Varona looked around at the world leaders and politicians in the room before looking back at Isa and spoke: “State your business”

Isa replied: “This matter is related to the shady business of the Fuxi Empire’s royalty; I think it’s better that you come here for a private conversation”

She then leaned her face on her palm, asking provocatively: “Or could it be, you don’t dare to? As a Monarch, you’re afraid of me killing you?”

Facing such provocation, Varona could only silently grit her teeth.

She really is too dangerous.

No matter what, I won’t place myself in danger.

Only children and hot-headed youths compete over every small detail.

When she was about to refuse, a familiar voice entered her ears again.

“Go, let’s hear what she has to say, don’t worry, I’m here” Gu Qing Shan said.
