Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage Chapter 1224

Chapter 1224

In order to expand the military power of the Leviathan Empire and in desperate need of new hero-ranked knights, Ludwig XII had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the existence of this underground sect, giving them tacit approval.
To deal with the sudden resurrection of Su, The King of Undead, regardless of what this "Ada" thing is, as long as it can be used, it's good enough.
On the West Continent, there are also churches that worship deities. Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can be useful, it's a good cat.
On one hand, the emperor is enthusiastically assisting his teacher, Imperial Sage Poincaré, in developing powerful scientific weapons. On the other hand, he is making deals with an unknown underground church. This is what the emperor does.
Only children worry about right and wrong, the emperor only needs to consider his own interest. Besides, this church hasn't done anything outrageous like blood sacrifice. They're just expanding their membership. For the Leviathan Empire, which needs good fighters, this is a tempting offer that is hard to refuse.
Even Imperial Sage Poincaré doesn't know that Ludwig XII himself is secretly also serving as the high priest of an underground sect called the "Black God Order." This was part of the deal he made with the founder of the church, Morris.
Ludwig XII doesn't really care about the position of high priest. It's just a symbolic title. As long as he can control the underground church, that's all he needs.
For humans living in a period of declining magic, their faith is weak, let alone their vigilance towards unknown entities.
In this world, no one besides the deep-sea race has experience dealing with these evil gods. Unfortunately, Ludwig XII is one of the guinea pigs, and he has no idea how dangerous it is.
"Do you have any solution... Morris?" Ludwig XII has some fondness for this hero-ranked knight who comes from a noble background.
If the Black Emperor hadn't already promised certain powerful nobles to endorse their candidates, he might have actually given the most powerful titled machine to Morris.
To the emperor, no matter how powerful a weapon is, it's still just a weapon. As long as it can unleash its power effectively, he doesn't care who uses it.
From his perspective, Morris had a strong loyalty to the empire and was a genius representing the emerging power of the empire.
"This moment... was already prepared for..."
"No matter who sits on that throne... they are destined to die..." Morris's voice became particularly gloomy, jealousy driving him mad. Like the king, he also wanted the person on the throne to die.
Everything originated from the great will of the abyss.
This world has already caught the attention of "Ada" and is destined to slide into the endless abyss. No one can stop this fate.
Only by merging with the abyss can this world experience a rebirth. Even if Sia and Leviathan are resurrected at the same time, they cannot stop this fate.
The moment "Ada" arrives, this once secluded world, with no gods or the legend-ranked, is destined to become prey to the abyss.
And Morris, the apostle of the abyss, is the chosen one to complete this task.
Everything is for the great Ada.
Well, it seems like there is another mission for Ada. She is searching for the trace of a certain target, but this mission is a long-term one, so there is no need to hurry.
Once he drags this world into the abyss, he can receive gifts from the will of the abyss and open the doors to the legend-ranked.
Destroying the world is the fastest way for the apostles of the abyss to advance to the legend-ranked, no doubt about it.
Listening to the cries of an entire world being devoured by the abyss is the supreme joy of the apostles of the abyss.
"This world... doesn't need that kind of ruler..."
"Only despair and darkness... are the future of this world..."
In an underground cave about ten kilometers away from Babylon Sky Tower, thousands of members of the Black God Order gather and kneel on the ground, praying to the apostles of the abyss.
"Ada!"
"Ada!"
"Ada!"
The enthusiastic voice echoed among these believers, all of whom were knights empowered by the Abyss, and a few awakened with the abilities of Abyss warlocks.
During the period when the magic tide declined, this group of people had already become Leviathan Empire's strongest group of extraordinary powers.
It was because he saw the great potential of this sect that Ludwig XII took on the role of the high priest of this church and became the Dark High Priest.
Although he didn't believe in the existence of someone named "Ada" at all, he was just using the identity of the high priest of this church to control these obviously stronger knights of the church.
In the past, the most outstanding mages of the divine era believed in the power of magic and greatly underestimated the destructive power caused by "science."
Now, the Emperor of Leviathan Empire also believes too much in the power of "science" and completely underestimates the influence brought by "mystery."
In reality, after experiencing true extraordinary power, all the believers gathered here are genuine fanatics and are no longer the young people he remembers who were still loyal to Leviathan Empire.
"Ada... the great will of the Abyss..."
"Come here!"
Morris, who was originally a knight of the empire, completely betrayed all the virtues of a knight and sold his soul to the abyss in order to become an abyss apostle. His essence of life has been completely changed.
At this moment, the ten-meter-tall Black Overlord is right behind him, but this once strongest titled machine of the empire has completely transformed.
Fierce bone spikes extend from the originally metallic armor, and the black armor is covered with traces of black particle corrosion, making it look like a monster soaked in venom from hell.
No, this is indeed a monster, corrupted by the power of the abyss, and ultimately possessing its own life.
The titled machine, which once refused Morris without hesitation to become its knight, the strongest symbol of the empire's spirit, no longer exists.
The core representing the will of the empire had long been completely contaminated by the power from the abyss, ultimately distorted into this terrifying form.
Along with that, even the strongest spear symbolizing scientific production has completely changed. Its tip is flowing with black venom, and the spiral patterns are filled with incomprehensible texts to humans.
With Morris's fervent call, thousands of kilometers away, the Black Rune Eye suspended above the primeval sea slowly turned around, staring at the center of the continent.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you.
Morris felt the irresistible impulse that was like a first love, suffocating with eyes that were more intoxicating than any poison.
"Ada!"
Calling out the name of one of the incarnations of the Abyss's will, Morris mounted his black warhorse.
The time has come!
