Chapter 144: Dekan Accidentally Offends Minos

Minos' level of freedom exceeded Dekan's expectations.

If the entire Resurgence Church were as free as you, I wouldn't need to do anything; you would disband on your own, Dekan thought.

"There's nothing to hide. Most of the upper echelons of the Kingdoms Federation also know that calamity is approaching this world," Minos explained nonchalantly.

"Is it the tier 10 Shadow World?"

"Yes. When it opens, if we can't clear it, this world will face an unprecedented catastrophe and only a few strong individuals will survive."

Clearly, the Kingdoms Federation aims to successfully clear this Shadow World, while the Resurgence Church wanted to cause chaos.

"How much longer until it opens? Is there a possibility of it opening a hundred years later?"

"I don't know. Only the astrologer from the Kingdoms Federation might catch a glimpse of some information."

At this point, Minos paused and suddenly realized that Dekan's intentions seemed not to be about preparing for the Shadow World.

"Hey hey, you couldnt possibly be thinking that if the opening is after your lifespan ends, you can just ignore it?" Minos said, a tone of contempt present in his voice.

"Cough cough. Regardless of my thoughts, I dont believe you're in a position to say that. By the way, do you know the name of this Shadow World?"

"How could anyone know that? You're overestimating me." Minos sighed.

Dekan nodded, pondered for a moment, but didn't continue discussing the issue of the tier 10 Shadow World with Minos.

"By the way, can I ask you some gossip questions?" Dekan suddenly asked.

"Of course."

"I heard that there's a Cardinal in your Resurgence Church who likes to crossdress. Do you know who it is?"

This was the piece of Resurgence Church intelligence that Dekan cared most about from his previous interrogations. Generally, the more absurd it sounded, the more reliable it was. Afterall, ordinary believers wouldn't dare to fabricate rumors.

After asking the question with the intention of publishing an article the next day exposing the Cardinal's hobbies, Dekan found himself in an awkward situation.

"..."

For a moment, the spacious temple fell silent.

The atmosphere became extremely tense.

Both of them understood what was going on, but neither knew how to break the deadly silence.

A feeling of "silence is more eloquent than words" prevailed.

"Ahahaha, I didn't mean to offend. I really didn't know." Dekan finally forced a laugh and spoke first.

"Is there a possibility that I'm actually a girl..." Minos muttered with an almost imperceptible voice, sounding a bit unhappy.

"Rest assured, I am a gender equality advocate. If it comes to a fight between us, I won't show mercy based on your gender," Dekan said.

Upon hearing Dekan's words, Minos was momentarily stunned.

"Haha, you're really something. Let's hope we never have to meet in person," Minos said with a helpless smile.

"I hope so."

The two chatted for a while, but due to Dekan's significant mana consumption, he had to log out.

Returning from the illusionary space connected by the Cardinal Token, Dekan's consciousness returned to the room in the Lords Mansion.

He stretched his neck, feeling quite tired. Staying up late wasn't a good thing for a teenager, especially when he had travel plans for the next day. However, the Resurgence Churchs night owls wouldn't adjust the meeting time just because of Dekan's schedule.

"Sigh, even though I'm accommodating them, why is their attitude towards me still so hostile?" If it weren't for someone as reasonable as Minos, Dekan might have felt that those people were not worth his efforts.

Upon closer examination, the entire day had been exhausting. In the morning, he completed a special review at the Tristin Academy, attended city events at noon, and in the afternoon, he went to reform the wayward girl Isabel while protecting the city and carrying out idol-scouting work. In the evening, he had to send Evans on his way and continue idol-scouting work. Then, he held a meeting late at night.

Dekan really felt like a time management master.

"Yawn."

Dekan walked to the bedside. He closed the lights and lay down. Dekan opened his eyes, looking somewhat serious.

"The tier 10 Shadow World... could it be the [Heavenly Battlefield of World Annihilation]?"

Dekan murmured.

Heavenly Battlefield of World Annihilation, he knew better than anyone about this tier 10 Shadow World. Whether it was the name or the mechanisms and rules, he was well-informed. It was because it was the place where his master was defeated and perished. All the intelligence of that Shadow World was brought back with his master's life.

For this world, the 'Heavenly Battlefield of World Annihilation' had not been successfully cleared. It was stuck in progress due to a very special situation.

So, if there was indeed a tier 10 Shadow World approaching, there was a high probability that it wo

uld be a continuation of the previous 'Heavenly Battlefield of World Annihilation.'

Dekan had always speculated that one day it might come back. He just didn't expect the opening time to be in this era.

"Is there any way to delay the opening time of the tier 10 Shadow World... if I am buried, the world's destruction won't concern me anymore..."

Dekan seemed to be seriously contemplating how to deal with this tier 10 Shadow World.

The tier 10 Shadow World, compared to a relaxed and pleasant vacation, felt more like an extreme sports experience. Dekan, although not hating it, wasn't particularly fond of it either.

However, if the upcoming tier 10 Shadow World was indeed the Heavenly Battlefield of World Annihilation, it might be easier for Dekan than a tier 9 Shadow World as he had already previewed the content of this Shadow World in advance.

Regardless, Dekan's primary goal was still to be pursued. Removing the Resurgence Church would, to some extent, provide crucial assistance for the smooth clearance of the tier 10 Shadow World. After all, an already challenging Shadow World with an additional group causing chaos would be like playing in hell mode.

"...You have such ambitions; maybe the tier 10 Shadow World won't be as difficult as you think," Dekans master couldn't help but comment in Dekan's mind. As all the intelligence Dekan obtained was known to her, she had a rough estimate of the difficulty in "destroying the Resurgence Church."

"It is too cruel to make you enter prison twice. You've barely managed to escape with half your life; the latter half of your old life should be for enjoyment." Dekan sighed to himself.

"...Clearing it is my longstanding wish and obsession. By the way, what did you just say, my what?"

"I said my dear teachers life should be for enjoyment! Anyways, since you're not afraid, I'll make an effort then."
