Soul Of Negary Chapter 369 - Vol5 Ch39: Hehehe, I’ve Returned

Chapter 369: Vol5 Ch39: Hehehe, I’ve returned

Translator: La0o9
‘Negary’ recognized some of the people already seated at the table and also didn’t recognize some of them. What surprised ‘Negary’ the most was unexpectedly seeing certain people whose presence was actually reasonable.
For example, the Seven Churches had historically always turned down participation in the Mana Banquet.
Although the Great Magus would make sure to send an invitation to each of the Seven Churches every time he hosted a Mana Banquet, they had refused participation each and every single time.
This was because, for the members of the Seven Churches, their powers originated from the very God they worshipped, they didn’t care too much about mana. In fact, they considered mana to be blasphemous and wicked; if any mages appeared in other regions, regardless of whether or not they had actually gotten into contact with an Evil God, they would be marked as a wanted criminal.
Their participation in the Mana Banquet this time was most likely not for the sake of the so-called mana, but to cause trouble. After all, if Negary could recognize the abnormalities of the Great Magus, then there would be no reason for any of the Seven Gods to also not notice.
There was almost definitely at least one Blessed of each of the Seven Gods among the knights and priests here, who would be able to perform a Descension Ritual at a pivotal moment to call upon their Gods.
Among the Seven Gods, Life Bearer Mequik, Eternal Heat, and Concealed Demise’s strength were first-rate.
Following them, the four Righteous Gods: Eulogy of the Ocean Depths, Barren Shadow, The Unreachable Gate, and Red Tears were just slightly weaker.
Among them, Concealed Demise and The Unreachable Gate didn’t actually have Churches at all, only sparse believers and worshippers; while the Church of Red Tears was a total mystery, having no permanent Cathedrals or Holy land, which made it impossible for the Great Magus to send them invitations even if he wanted to.
For that reason, there were only official members from four Churches, which were Life Bearer’s Half Life Church; Eternal Heat’s Sun Shadow Church; Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ Church of Seclusion; as well as Barren Shadow’s Ascetic Order.
And then, there was one person that ‘Negary’ truly didn’t expect to appear in this place.
“Welcome to the large-scale VIP meeting, I’m Killer J, hereby representing myself” a man wearing a white robe who looked like he was ready to perform a one-man show immediately shoved a name card into ‘Negary’s’ hand as soon as he saw him coming down:
“A bit later, we’ll be people of the same beliefs, so you’d be fine with supporting this brother’s business a little bit, right? I don’t know if that girl over there is a bit embarrassed or not, but I’ll tell you up front that I can grant any request, so all you need to do is sit still and wait for the good news”
Hearing Killer J spewing shameless garbage, ‘Negary’ glanced at the reaction of others, only to see that most of them were displaying wariness towards Killer J. Obviously, something must have happened here earlier, otherwise, it was impossible for someone like Killer J to not get beat up.
Ignoring Killer J, ‘Negary’ randomly took an empty seat, then began to ponder what the original could be thinking to let this guy out.
‘Negary’ wasn’t too sure about Killer J’s current level of strength either, since he didn’t fully inherit the original’s memories. As far as he could remember, Killer J should still be at the same level as when he first arrived at the Moon Tree world, but since the original Negary was busy for so many years in the SCR world, there was no reason for a sub personality like Killer J to not also grow considerably.
The atmosphere of the banquet hall was quite unusual, very similar to the calm before the storm. Other than Killer J, everyone here kept their mouths shut and sat waiting on their seats, although a few people appeared to be quite impatient already.
After all, everyone present should have one channel or another to collect information before they arrived here, the fact that the Seven Churches had arrived at this Mana Banquet that they usually didn’t participate in meant that there were a lot of abnormalities with this occasion.
Those who had made a decision to leave would have already left a long time ago, the only people who remained were those who didn’t want to give up their chance, or felt confident in themselves, or were here with ulterior motives.
“That guy Noah has been doing nothing but taking care of that big bug that eats and sleeps all day, while Lan Shan is nowhere to be seen” Killer J leisurely spilt a bunch of Negary’s secrets without a care in the world: “Chromie went to the hearthstone and cross-dressed for an entire month before disappearing as well, while Lord Negary does nothing but sit in that clock tower all day. If Lucy and Wendy hadn’t told me about this, I wouldn’t even know there was such a fun occasion here”
Killer J abruptly jumped onto the table, which drew everyone’s attention, then sincerely said: “Wait a minute! With the boss’ scheming scoundrel personality, he definitely has a clone or two among these people”
Killer J’s gaze then began scanning around everyone present.
Killer J first stared straight at a fatso, who then stared back at him without hesitation. Not even three seconds later, Killer J admitted defeat and turned to someone else: “The boss would definitely not assume such an ugly character, the boss’ number one characteristic is his charm value”
Killer J’s next target was someone among the Seven Churches, a member of the Barren Shadow’s Ascetic Order. He was wearing a simple linen robe with both his hands and feet wrapped in bandages, a relatively handsome middle-aged man, but his face was filled with vicissitudes more than anything else.
Barren Shadow had no concrete image, even this name originated from a description of the Ascetic Order’s scriptures, which described their God as the shadow that walked the barren wasteland.
For that reason, all members of the Ascetic Order who worshipped Barren Shadow were travelers who lived the life of a hermit. They wished for nothing more than to trek alone on unmanned lands, to experience the wonders of loneliness and become closer to their God.
“Your charm value is barely enough, but you also have that smell of death about you. I heard that travelers would even strip completely naked while you walk across the unmanned wilderness, someone like the boss would definitely not tolerate such a smell, not you either”
Killer J’s gaze went from person to person, sitting on the edge of his chair while carefully commenting on each person, analyzing whether or not they could be Negary’s clone.
Finally, Killer J’s gaze focused on the final person, his vicious gaze contained killing intent as well. After observing carefully for a long while, he said: “There’s finally someone greatly suspicious”
“You’re definitely not the boss!” Killer J’s body practically lunged forward, his vicious expression abruptly changed as well: “If you are, then won’t you mind pleasing this little brother a bit?”
The woman that Killer J was staring at uttered a soft chuckle and continued to calmly sit still. Her long black bangs hung across half of her face, obscuring it; but even half of her face was already eye-catching, as she carried with her a sort of breath-taking beauty.
“You’re greatly suspicious!” Killer J was staring straight at the woman’s voluptuous chest: “Really great…”
“Why do I remember having a previous boss who liked to cross-dress? Did the boss get infected by this incurable disease as well?” Killer J sat back down while mumbling to himself.
Quite a few people here believed that he was an insane person who lost his mind to an Evil God, so they didn’t care too much about his actions, since the actions of an insane person were almost always highly dangerous.
However, quite a few people took note of this mad man’s words, as there were a total of four people who Killer J had pointed out to possibly be his boss Negary.
The beautiful woman, a follower of the Sun Shadow Church, a bald young man with unknown background, as well as ‘Negary’ himself.
Everyone else subconsciously heightened their guards towards these four people.
