Under the shower of " stars," Mons and Winnie were beaten to the point where they could not even use Imprint.
Meanwhile, Goodwin approached their summoner step by step. The two nuns were trembling in fear.
Goodwin leaned over and whispered,""You guys run, I'll cover you. Go back and tell the Oracle that I was controlled by that woman's yao arts.”
The nuns fled with their apostles like frightened birds.
As a result, Goodwin and Clear Sky successfully occupied the Tempering Tower, liberated six Perverted Beasts, obtained nine bottles of Holy Magic Potions, and carried dozens of boxes of Enchanted Potions. They happily returned to the base.
"At this rate, after taking down a few more towers, my soul will be covered in patterns.”said Goodwin.
"This is not a good thing." Qing Kong said.
"What do you mean?" asked Goodwin.
"What do you think an imprint is?" she asked.
"The right to use magic. Isn't it?"
"Do you still remember the scene when you were imprinted?”she said.
Of course he remembered. The Holy Magic Potion would burn a hole on the surface of the soul, and then the liquid would flow into the hole.
"Imprints are scars on the soul." Qing Kong said faintly. "The more wounds you have, the more damaged your soul will be. If you don't want your soul to be torn into pieces, I suggest you don't leave any more imprints.”
"…You clearly have more impressions than me.”
" I'm different." Qing Kong smiled. "I can die at any time.”
Goodwin didn't want to continue the topic. "In short, in order to win this war, the more imprints, the better.”
Therefore, they attacked the third tempering tower.
This time, the tower was no longer a " lone tower ". A battalion of soldiers was stationed directly beside the tower. It seemed that the experience of the first two towers had finally made the dynasty's army decide to send more troops to guard the towers.
"What should we do? Should we infiltrate or attack?”
"There are so many enemies this time, it's better to attack forcefully.”
They raided the Imperial military camp, and then Goodwin manipulated the " dead " to create chaos. They took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the tower. When dealing with an army, Death Chasing Seal was always very useful.
There were monks and nuns guarding the tower, and there were many who could use magic, but there were no apostles. In the end, those experts became the " dead " for Goodwin's use, escorting them all the way to the top of the tower.
As usual, the top of the tower was locked up with a beast. However, unlike before, there was a person on the top of the tower.
When he saw this person, Goodwin suddenly understood." The soldiers in the military camp were not there to guard against him, but to protect him.
It was a thin middle-aged man with sunken cheeks and a serious expression. He was wearing a brown robe that looked like a scholar. Just by looking at his attire, it was hard for people to imagine that he was actually the supreme executor of Divine Overwatch.
"... Greengrass?" Goodwin called out the name.
"Grimm Grai…the leader of the Church?”Clear Sky immediately reacted and stabbed at Greengrass. "Kill him and this war will be over!”
Greengrass didn't show any expression. He just stared blankly at the clear sky.
However, Qing Kong's spear failed to hit him. It seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, unable to move forward.
Then, a force suddenly struck the tip of her spear. Qing Kong was blown away by the impact, and the spear fell to the ground. As for Goodwin's Death Gods, they fell to the ground like broken dolls.
Clear Sky quickly got up, picked up the spear, and tried to launch a second round of attacks. But Goodwin stopped her.
"Long time no see, Lord Executor of Divine Overwatch.”said Goodwin.
Greengrass nodded slightly in response to Goodwin's greeting. He looked at Goodwin indifferently, his eyes without a trace of impurity. He seemed to have recognized Goodwin, but he didn't seem to have.
"I once asked you why the Rushan Empire was floating in the sky, but you didn't answer.”said Goodwin. "So I found the answer myself.”
Grygryse still didn't say anything. However, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
" The research institute in King's Town, the reconstruction of the God's Punishment Cannons, and the plan to torture the Original People to create the Rebel Beasts were all your handiwork, weren't they?”
Grygryse stood there silently. His brown robe fluttered in the wind.
"Why aren't you talking?" Goodwin questioned.
"Because that would be a waste of time." Grygryse said calmly.
Suddenly, a hurricane blew over, overturning Goodwin and Clear Sky. Meanwhile, Grygryse stood calmly on the spot. Only the corner of his clothes was blown by the wind.
However, Clear Sky immediately stood up and attacked Gringles with a Black Flaming Serpent.
"Pierce him!" Black Iron Snake!"
However, the black snake was blocked by the invisible wall, and the clear sky was unable to hurt Greengris at all.
However, what Greengrass didn't see was that Goodwin had already flashed behind him at the speed of lightning. " Lightless Blinking Moment " slashed at the back of his neck.
" It's over, Doctor Magic!”
Gringlasses turned around and extended his hand toward Goodwin's Sword of Radiance.
He had used his flesh and blood to grab Goodwin's sword. Goodwin slashed down with all his might, but the sword did not budge in Greengrass's hand. The power of a mortal surpassed that of an apostle with the help of the Seal of the Soul.
" Wrong," Greengrass corrected Goodwin. "-the King of Magic,"
Then, the Lightless Blinking Moment shattered. The streak of light shattered in Greengrass's hand.
Goodwin's ribbonfish suddenly screamed. The Lightless Glittering Moment was half of its body. Gringlish crushing the Lightless Glittering Moment was equivalent to wiping out half of its life.
On the other hand, Greengrass's expression did not change at all.
"You are not human." Goodwin took a step back. "…What are you?"
"I'm just a seeker of truth.”said Greengrass.
The perverted beasts were in a commotion and howling. They shook their bodies crazily and frothed at the mouth, as if a terrifying existence had descended here.
"Like you, I am also a human.”He looked at Goodwin and said in an emotionless voice. "I was born with a body of flesh and blood, and I endured the sufferings of the world with a body of flesh and blood. However, on the path of seeking the Dao, I had already gone too far. I finally broke free from the shackles of the secular world and obtained an immortal body. I had stepped on the imaginary idols and the names of the gods.”
"You don't believe in gods at all, Lord Executor of Divine Overwatch.”said Goodwin.
"Aren't you the same? Lord Apostle." Greengrass spread his hands. "The fourth blessing of the God of the North, the Apostle of the Fallen Stars, Lord Goodwin. You and I have never seen the God of the Seven Regions. You and I both know that the God of Seven Regions doesn't exist. You and I are only borrowing its divine name to act. We're the same kind of people, but you're even worse than me. You don't even belong to this world.”
"Shoot him!" Star Mark!" shouted Goodwin.
Dozens of 'starlight' shot toward Gringles from all directions. Grygles didn't dodge, dodge, or block, allowing the starlight to pierce through his body.
Grygryse lowered his head and looked at his body. There were dozens of holes in his chest and abdomen, but no blood flowed out.
"You are an apostle who controls souls. The body is just a vessel." Greengrass. "There's no point in attacking my vessel.”
Goodwin tried to use Soul Imprint to identify the shape of Greengrass 'soul, but he couldn't. That was because his soul was too huge. Just like how the people on the island could not see the outline of the island with their naked eyes, no matter how Goodwin looked at it, he could only see a corner of Greengrass 'soul.
"I'm sorry. I was a little excited to see a long-lost 'outlander', so I said a few more words.”said Greengrass. "The conversation is over. Please die."
Gringlasses waved his hand gently, and a wind scythe slashed at Goodwin's throat. Goodwin subconsciously raised his hand to block.
He realized that he suddenly had three cards in his hand. Three black cards.
Black was a dull color, but the card emitted a black light. In the light of the void, the wind scythe seemed to have collided with something extremely solid, and finally dispersed into a light breeze.
At this moment, Goodwin saw the three cards clearly. They were the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper, and the Grim Reaper.……This was the tarot card that Cheng Wuji had shown him?
A Death God card broke into two pieces and fell from his hand.
Greengrass pointed at Goodwin's face. Then, a bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky.
Goodwin waved his hand again to block, and the black light reappeared. The purple lightning broke into several small electric currents in the black light and scattered along the wall of the tower.
Another Death God card split into two and fell from Goodwin's hand.
"Unfortunately, my time is up.”said Greengrass. "I have to go. I hope my servants will do a good job.”
Then, a torrent of mud gushed out from under his brown robes and filled the room, enveloping Goodwin and Clear Sky.
Beneath the mud, Goodwin couldn't see or hear. The stench of the mud also numbed his sense of smell.
After an unknown amount of time, the mud dispersed, and the walls and floor became as clean as before. Goodwin, Clear Sky, and the Rebel Beasts weren't hurt.
The last Death God Card also shattered. It slid to the ground and turned into dust again.
Grygryth fell. Bright red blood flowed out of the bullet hole that had been shot by the Starlight.
Goodwin touched his artery, but there was no sign of life.
The Executor of Divine Overwatch, the Seeker of Truth, and the King of Magic, Gringles, had died inexplicably.
"You are an apostle who controls souls. The body is just a vessel." The words of Greengrass lingered in Goodwin's ears.
Goodwin suddenly felt very cold. He shuddered.
