1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King Chapter 84 – 84 Countdown

84 Countdown

After hearing Vincent's question, William smiled and said, “Don't worry. Even a Moon Realm invasion has to follow the basic rules. At this stage, other than summoning some Lunar Monsters scattered among the worshipers to create panic, they temporarily can't let legion-sized Lunar Monsters descend into Currere. We still have plenty of time to prepare for the invasion.”

The Moon Realm's large-scale invasion was similar to a tidal wave. There was a process of accumulation.

After all, a legion-sized Lunar Monster couldn't be anchored by signing contracts.

The Void Sovereigns needed to indirectly influence Currere to create an atmosphere that allowed the Lunar Monsters to ‘breathe.' Only then could they maintain the existence of the Lunar Monsters in Currere for significant periods.

As for that atmosphere, it corresponded to the domain symbolized by the Void Sovereigns. This was also why the King of Deathblood and Ruin Demon God's invasions were often on a larger scale. This was because the domain They symbolized was Destruction. As long as the invasion began, they could have battles snowball into bigger ones.

The blight that spread across the continent was one of the preparations done by the Lady of Starvation.

William said seriously, “But there are a few things I have to do immediately. Otherwise, the Moon Realm's invasion might be brought forward.”

Continue to intensify the purge of the Moon Realm worshiping groups. It would be best if an elite reaction force was established to be in charge of this matter…

Before finding a solution, do our best to slow down the spread of the blight and ensure that there won't be a mass famine…

Completely control all the Astral Lighthouses in the Blackwater Swamp and put them on full alert…

Vincent stopped writing when he recorded this. He looked up at William and said, “There are a total of two Astral Lighthouses in the Blackwater Swamp. One is the Stranger Lighthouse in Thorn City, and the other is the Viper Lighthouse in Blacklight City. The Stranger Lighthouse has already been settled according to your wishes, but the situation in Blacklight City is a little complicated…”

“Is it because Mania, one of the Demon Generals under Absurdity Jester, is sealed under that lighthouse?” William asked curiously.

This was the information he had obtained from the Crow Feather Prophet.

Every Demon General was the right-hand man of a Void Sovereign, an extension of the domain They symbolized.

It could be said that other than the Void Sovereign, who found it difficult to enter the Currere in Their main body, and the incarnations created by Them, Demon Generals were the strongest Lunar Monsters.

It was indeed quite a troublesome matter to have a Divine Realm Demon General sealed under that tower.

However, Vincent only asked in confusion, “Demon General? What's that?”

“Nothing…”

William thought about it and felt that there was no need for him to tell the other party that a Divine Realm Lunar Monster was sealed there. After all, he was under enough pressure.

William casually brushed off the question and asked, “Let's talk about what troublesome matters are in Blacklight City first. I'm going there later. If it's not a big problem, I can resolve them all at once.”

Therefore, Vincent told William in detail about the Gift Church.

“You're saying that they treat the entire Moon Realm as the object of their faith?”

While listening to Vincent's briefing, William made several confirmations.

This was rather strange. After all, as deities with intellectuality, the more pious the believers of the Void Sovereigns were, the easier they were to be favored by Them. Ignoring the fact that they believed in 13 at the same time, the Church of the Three Goddesses could be said to be the maximum for believing in three at the same time.

For a parish that directly included the entire Moon Realm in its faith, it was considered lucky not to anger a particular Void Sovereign, much less obtain any blessings.

However, from what Vincent said, not only did they promote the doctrine in such a way, but they had also established a huge faction there?

Vincent nodded and continued, “In addition, although Blacklight City is still under our control in name, their response to the Rose Palace's orders has been extremely patronizing. Previously, they were urged to speed up the purge of the Moon Realm worship groups in their territory and they were clearly requested to prioritize dealing with the Gift Church. Their reply has always been—they can't find the target.”

In other words, Blacklight City might have been penetrated completely.

At this point, Vincent seemed to recall something and said, “In addition, from the information I received previously, most of the Moon Realm worshipers who escaped from the previous crackdown seem to have escaped to Blacklight City to seek refuge with the Gift Church.”

Then, this Gift Church is really fearless…

Previously, they had carried out the purge using the information in the Astral Lighthouse's archives. However, because the timeliness of this information was too poor and Vincent had too little manpower, many Moon Realm believers managed to escape in their final casting of the net.

According to the tabulated data, these people who escaped believed in everything. It wasn't just the 13 Void Sovereigns. There were even some who believed in some Moon Realm Overlords.

The Gift Church dared to absorb such complicated elements?

It had to be known that the Void Sovereigns weren't united. There were even some Void Sovereigns who had innate conflicts because of their corresponding domains. It wasn't wrong to say that Their relationship was irreconcilable.

Wouldn't Their believers fight each other to the death?

With this in mind, William suddenly asked, “Did your previous adjutant, that person named Layton, also join the Gift Church?”

This person had sacrificed the miners who had escaped from the Silverstream Mine to the Lady of Starvation to complete the second metamorphosis of his Lunar Monster in Currere. Therefore, William had some impression of this person.

During the cleanup operation, the other party relied on the advanced Lunar Monster called the Invisible Starvation to escape.

Vincent nodded and said, “That's what the intelligence says.”

After hearing Vincent's answer, William recalled the information he had received from the Death Spirit.

As expected, some factions in the palace secretly contacted the last descendant of the Walde family. Among the people they contacted were the remaining people from Mage Hall, including Layton.

If that were the case, the problem with the Gift Church could slowly be resolved together with the Rose Palace.

Therefore, William said, “Then, you probably have to handle this matter yourself. It's too wasteful for me to take action. After all, it's a perfect opportunity to reorganize the remaining conservative factions of the palace.”

“Why?”

“Because soon, they will come looking for you themselves.”

After explaining the general situation to Vincent, the other party nodded solemnly.

“If things develop to this point, that's probably all we can do,” Vincent said with a sigh.

In fact, according to the safest plan, William could transfer control of the Death Spirit to Vincent.

He ultimately didn't do so.

Before William left, Vincent asked, “Presiding Judge, when will the Moon Realm's large-scale invasion be? Let me be mentally prepared.”

William's answer made Vincent feel as if a guillotine was hanging over his head.

“At the latest, not later than this year's Valley Moon.”

In other words, they only had half a year to make preparations.

Outside the hall, a few people sat on a deerskin sofa and killed time in their own ways.

Nizemar silently recited the evening prayers in Kane's New Testament; Cass was peeling an orange with a dagger; Liz was waiting for him to finish peeling with starry eyes; and the Crow Feather Prophet sat quietly on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Roy was the most uneasy among them.

She kept fidgeting. From time to time, she would walk around the room anxiously.

After sitting down again, she looked at the leisurely crowd and whispered, “So… Is he really William Kane? That Eighth Holy Spirit…”
