Chapter 910 261: The Essence of the Magic Monarch, the Boundary of Illusion, and the Meeting on the Holy Mountain (10K)_3
Just as Kael felt, the upper limit of the power of these self-discipline puppets depends on the upper limit of his own power. As long as they have not caught up with him in terms of realm, the Life Treasure Tree will continuously extract more energy, converting it into continuous Level Experience Points.
Kael could clearly sense that it would only take a month and a half for these self-discipline puppets' strength to completely approach Aister's. Aister would then, with the power of control from the [Crown], further break her own limits with their assistance.
If possible, Kael only wants to stay in his own territory now, until the energy supply of the Elemental Furnace completely maximizes the strength of the self-discipline puppets.
Then Kael would take these puppets, who temporarily couldn't be further enhanced, and with the further expanded domain, head outside to let those noisy guys experience what it means to be a Magic Monarch of the Holy Land like no other!
But obviously, that's not realistic.
There are more important matters for Kael to handle in Golden City.
To shut certain people's mouths, Kael needs to give himself enough time to develop, as only Kael knows best that playing a delay tactic is the most advantageous for him.
"Guard the Mage Tower and the territory well, enhance your power as quickly as possible. The road to the Holy Land has already opened up for you. What you need to do next is repetitive tasks, which... will be quick."
Kael glanced at the puppets, nodding to themselves, then without hesitation turned around, opened the Space Gate, and with Aister and Coral, went to Golden City.
As for why bringing them along—
Aister is because she has already advanced to the Holy Land, so there's no need for her to stay.
And Coral... her presence is the greatest safety guarantee for Kael.
With the combination of Aister + Coral, Kael can at least ensure he won't be immediately taken down and still have the chance to use teleportation spells to escape directly.
He is not the kind of fool who would put himself in danger just to pursue the fastest advancement speed.
Only if he stays alive does he have the chance to talk about the future.
...
Returned to Golden City, Kael quickly began preparing for this grand event, while in the distant Holy Briania, a secret meeting was taking place unbeknownst to anyone.
[Location: Holy Briania · Holy Mountain · Earth Mother Church Headquarters · Confidential Area]
The current Pope of the Earth Mother Church, Agatha, was sitting on the main seat. After one of the cardinals had served tea to her and the other two parties who were facing each other, he silently retreated from the confidential area.
As the door of the confidential area slowly closed, Agatha's gaze turned to the two groups sitting opposite her and she chuckled lightly:
"This should be the first time we meet in this form, dear allies."
An old man with a hooked nose seated at the left front of Pope Agatha snorted coldly and said, "Agatha, when you called me over, you never mentioned that there would be other 'allies' sitting here."
Pope Agatha frowned, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes indicating that she was no longer young, but when she spoke, her words were still full of sharpness:
"Mistro, none of this matters. What matters is whether you still have the resolve to correct the Lord of Dawn Church... After all, in recent years, you've become increasingly inactive in the Inquisition Court of the Lord of Dawn Church."
Indeed, this hook-nosed elder is the current controller of the Inquisition Court of the Lord of Dawn Church, for those who severely trample on fairness and justice but cannot, for various reasons, be punished in the name of law by the Holy Knights. This group of "madmen" operating in the gray area quietly steps in.
However, many times, due to the excessive severity of the actions of the Inquisition Court members, and the sacrifice of some innocent people in the name of justice, the reputation of the Inquisition Court swings wildly between extremely good and extremely bad.
"The Inquisition Court forever walks at the forefront of justice. I absolutely do not allow justice to be delayed or absent. If there is no way to execute justice when it is most needed, then our justice is worthless!
So, now I'm here!"
When Judge Mistro uttered these words, his eyes were unperturbed, and his tone was sincere yet cold, it was hard to imagine how the various frightening actions by the Inquisition Court over the years were actually orchestrated by this judge.
Pope Agatha did not reply immediately but picked a donut from the snack tray, took a bite, then pushed the platter towards Judge Mistro and another middle-aged man standing at the right front of Pope Agatha.
"Let's not have such a tense atmosphere. Today I've called everyone here to discuss thoroughly the numerous things that that fellow Mephiel has been doing lately.
It's okay to encounter problems, what's important is to find ways to solve these matters, isn't it?"
But Judge Mistro wasn't buying this, he just snorted coldly and said:
"Agatha, you need to understand one thing. The reason I'm willing to cooperate with you (the Earth Mother Church) is entirely because I value your uncompromising attitude towards evil.
