Chapter 99: Maybe This Will Save the 5th Floor
Chronos himself, who had always been lazy and bored with life, even if James hadn\'t realised it, had started to behave as he had in his youth, just to train him.
He was smiling, having fun, laughing, using his strength, in short, not afraid to use everything at his disposal. This was very different from the normal behaviour of the ageing Chronos.
"I need to talk to Chaos..." Chronos suddenly thought he was quite right in his thoughts, there were indeed things they wanted to do, things they needed to discuss, and since he was one of the few people who could reach Chaos, it would not be awkward to do so.
At least Chronos wasn\'t going to bullcrap as James did and say that he was going to pierce the tower and reach Chaos, there was the fact that he could talk to him with messages as he always did.
That\'s why he grabbed James\'s forehead and somehow managed to lull him to sleep, then opened the message window and sent a message to Chaos, hoping he wouldn\'t regret what he was about to do:
"We need to talk."
When Chronos sent this message, things were heating up on the 5th floor. On the 5th floor, the black magic outbreak had receded from its serious state. The black magic had become strangely stable, and the kingdoms around the glacier mountain and the people controlled like zombies by the black magic could be restored.
Thanks to the [Star Fragment], one of the sacred treasures of the church, a large-scale purification was able to be carried out, unfortunately, due to this situation, the energy of the sacred treasure, the Star Fragment, was depleted, and this treasure had been in a state of constant recharging for tens of thousands of years.
Even though the 5th Floor was in a better condition, it still suffered a great loss of power.
Ariel, Theseus, Perseus and a few others were sitting in the meeting hall of the imperial palace. Many people, including the high nobility of the empire, were in attendance.
There was a great division of labour, Ariel had imposed an incredibly high level of responsibility on the Church of Night with his orders, and because of this, the way many priests used their powers, or rather their efficiency, had decreased.
"I think my plan makes sense, Ariel. As soon as the Olympus Guild is blessed by the priests of the church, we can help the church to progress and suppress black magic a little." Perseus said.
Every single person in the hall knew that Perseus was telling the truth. Looking at the history of the plans, transactions and guilds, it could be seen that Olympus was much better at purifying people and purifying things, unlike in mythologies, after all the legacy of Mount Olympos was written with war.
Asgard within the 9 worlds of Yggdrasil was constantly at war due to the existence of the other 8 worlds under the gigantic branches and had to fight constantly in a search for dominance.
In a way, Olympos fits the support criteria, while Asgard fits the position of a tank or a warrior.
"You\'re talking about something that will change depending on how many people they bless, Perseus." Theseus suddenly said, and he had a point.
The priests of the Church were not weak. The priests of the Church of the Night were those who had worked for decades to become priests and had perfected the use of dark magic. Not only black magic but also the elements of darkness, light, mist, fog, fire and music.
Their numbers may have exceeded millions, but the 5th floor was a gigantic place, as it has been said before. While there were millions of priests, there were billions of people. This made everything more troublesome.
As soon as the priests of the Church of the Night blessed Olympus, it would be strong enough to surround the mountain, but the danger would envelop the rest of the 5th floor. The Church of Night was not the goddess they worshipped, they were powerful people who worshipped Nyx.
So when their ability to protect was lost, the church would collapse.
Ariel had already thought of that. This woman\'s intelligence was enormous, and she had an ability called [Strategic Genius(Godly-)], which she gained thanks to her choice of Moros. Ariel, who had such a high intelligence, was able to instantly see many possibilities in front of her eyes when she had such a powerful ability.
"Lady Ariel, what are you planning?" Wish suddenly asked, as if no one had expected the empress to speak.
Ariel turned to Wish and then to the rest of the group, looking at Aether, one of the church popes, and asked, "Do you have any other items like the Star Shard? A treasure that can divide and distribute power, or add to it?"
Aether didn\'t seem to understand the purpose of the question, but he closed his eyes for a few seconds and thought about it, then stood up abruptly and replied, "Yes, my lady, we have an item called the [Tear of the Goddess], it is famous for dissipating the power put into it, it has been recharged for the last 550 years."
Ariel shook her head and then asked, "What if you, Aether, and you, Datura, together cast a spell to spread a blessing and put it in the tear? Wouldn\'t it be stronger than any priest\'s blessing?"
Hearing these words, the two high-ranking people suddenly got excited and left the room, Ariel\'s plan was very simple. If the Olympos Guild wanted to be blessed, it had to be done, and if there was an item that could gather and trap a sudden power and then disperse it, it had to be used.
Now there was only one thing left to do, Datura and Aether, who were powerful enough to make this item work, had to work together and cast the most powerful blessing spell in existence.
No dark magic could overflow from the Frozen Mountain.
It shouldn\'t have.
