At the Fuxi Empire, Varona had declared herself Monarch in front of the entire world .
Her coronation was now officially finished .
At the same time .
The Holy Empire .
All the Fiendkind had died .
The Holy Empire’s capital was heavily devastated after this attack .
The Holy Church’s sanctuary has been levelled .
The only usable part left of the once grand structure was its underground facilities .
A hidden chamber below the church .
Isa stood before a large reservoir of blood, sighing tiredly .
“Come, I now call upon you” she chanted .
A card was floating above the reservoir of blood .
Following her chant, the card let out an ashen grey light that shone on the reservoir of blood .
[Devil Summoning Card]
[Note: Using this card, you can siphon power from unlimited amount of souls in order to guide a soul from another world]
An echoing voice came from the blood reservoir: 「 You’ve done well, the ritual is almost complete, I only need a bit more time to gather my powers before I can descend upon your world 」
“Asmodeus, when you come to this world, will you really protect me?” Isa asked .
Asmodeus said nothing .
A card flew out from the blood reservoir, gently floating in front of Isa .
The card was obscured by a burning bright layer of flames, making it impossible to know what it depicts .
“What is this?” Isa curiously asked .
「 An unspeakable card, carry it with you, at a specific time, it will automatically activate to save you from harm 」 Asmodeus answered .
The card fell into Isa’s hands .
Isa was a bit hesitant .
A card whose effect cannot be determined isn’t something she’s willing to use .
Not to mention, a Devil’s item isn’t something you can just take .
She spoke: “I want to check this card a little bit”
“Go ahead”

Isa placed the card on her forehead, carefully sensing it .
A feeling of protection gradually drifted around, enveloping her .
Holding this card obscured in flame in hand, Isa could feel a deep layer of protection .
This card assured her .
With her competence as a card user, Isa’s card intuition wouldn’t make a mistake .
“Thank you, Asmodeus” Isa put the card away and said .
「 No need, just make sure to be careful and ensure your own safety before I get there 」Asmodeus spoke .
His tone seemed a bit worried .
And Isa noticed .
Her tone became a bit more respectful: “Then, I shall take my leave first”
「 You may go 」Asmodeus .
Isa left the blood reservoir .
A deep sigh could be heard from the blood reservoir .
When Isa made it back to the surface, she noticed Great Holy Apostle Hurt and Cardinal Kid were hurriedly coming towards her .
“What is it?” Isa asked .
“Kid said that he found intelligence about that person” Hurt reported .
“Which person?”
Just as Isa asked, she immediately remembered .
The Confederate military officer who wrecked Madame Punta’s banquet, fought her and managed to get away via warp .
The bastard that dared to make a fool out of myself!
“Speak” Isa ordered .
“Please take a look, your holiness”
Cardinal Kid turned on his Holo-Brain and projected the screen for them to see .
The Fuxi Empire .
Varona’s coronation .
At her call, a golden-armored swordsman appeared, killing the monster and the military official .
“Is that him?” Isa asked .
Cardinal Kid: “When he escaped from Madame Punta’s banquet, he was wearing that armor”
“Are you sure?”
“Very, my whip couldn’t penetrate that armor at all, I wouldn’t mistake it for anything else” Kid answered .

Isa squinted her eyes, staring at the golden-armored swordsman .
Her gaze fell on the golden-armored swordsman’s sword .
“Yes, that’s him, I remember that sword!” she rubbed her chin as she spoke .
“Then that means he’s a Fuxian” Hurt commented .
“No wonder no matter how much we search the Confederate we still couldn’t find such a person” Kid spoke excitedly .
Isa contemplated for a while, then spoke: “We have the Fuxi Empress’ invitation to her coronation do we not?”
“We do”
“If we fly there now, how long will it take?”
“Using a super-speed shuttle, we will arrive in time for the noon banquet”
“Very well, Kid will stay here and take over the situation . Hurt, come with me to Fuxi”
“Yes” the two Apostles bowed .
Isa muttered: “I finally found you, now I’m really curious about what you took from the Holy Empire”
Not too long later, the super-speed shuttle rose up to the sky and headed for the Fuxi capital .
The Fuxi Empire .
Capital .
The noon banquet .
Everything was highly simplified and quick-paced .
The world leaders gathered here to discuss emergency measures against hell’s invasion .
There were also rumors of a new crucial technology being released to the public by Confederate scientists .
Even if that’s the case, you can’t make so many world leaders discuss on an empty stomach .
Which is why they had arranged a light banquet for all the leaders to eat before the long meeting .
On the conference podium, Her Majesty the Monarch made a short welcoming speech .
The noon banquet started .
All the world leaders sat down one by one .
The Monarch came to each table to greet the world leaders, politicians and celebrities .
Her demeanor was calm, graceful and alluring, the crown on her head could almost be seen to be flickering with light .
Everything was harmonious .
Suddenly, a royal guard slowly ran towards her and whispered something to the Monarch .
She then excused herself and left together with the welcoming official and her royal guards .
Everyone was curious .

But soon enough, they found out why .
The banquet hall opened as the Monarch walked side by side with four people, talking and smiling as they walked .
The oldest person was one that everyone here knew .
The Freedom Confederate President .
The other three younger people were a bit harder to discern .
But from the Monarch’s attitude, she seems to be closer to the three youth .
That’s very strange .
What’s even more strange was the Confederate President himself was also very familiar with these three youths .
“I want the profiles of those three” Isa spoke .
She sat silently together with Hurt alone, as no one dared to try and speak to her .
“Yes”
Hurt turned on his Holo-Brain and accessed the Holy Church’s intelligence network .
Very quickly, he projected the information from the Holo-Brain in front of the Pope .
Reading through their profiles, the Pope glanced at the three of them .
“A renowned King of Assassins, a famous scientist, hmm, and a nameless nobody”
“…What a strange combination”
The Pope muses for a bit, then abruptly exclaimed: “No wait, why does that scientist give me such a familiar feeling?”
She had an urge to draw cards to peek into destiny .
But she held it down .
This place is a solemn banquet, if I drew cards here, wouldn’t that make me a show for them all to see?
At this time, a welcoming official of the palace stepped forward .
Facing the Pope, he was so nervous sweat was dripping down his forehead, but he maintained a perfect smile .
The official placed a rectangular envelope in front of the Pope and respectfully bowed .
The Pope reached out to check the card .
After the noon banquet, a world conference will be held to discuss countermeasures against the Apocalypse .
“I will be there on time” she spoke .
“Understood, your holiness” the official turned to leave .
Only after getting away from the Pope’s table did he silently sighed from relief .
Isa evaluated Varona .
The Monarch had just shown a few esteemed guests to their table, chatted with them a bit and was about to leave .
As the host, she needs to arrange the upcoming world conference .
Isa thought for a bit, then raised her hand and waved at the Monarch .
Since her every action were being monitored closely, this gesture was noticed by a lot of people .
Monarch Varona would of course also noticed .
Varona turned to look at Isa .
Their eyes met .
Isa spoke: “Varona, might I have a word?”
The banquet hall fell silent .
One of them murdered an entire royal family, stole the country’s authority, leader of a spiritual organization and a peak 5th stage powerhouse .
The other was the victim of said murder, even her husband had died, only to stay strong without falling and once again hold the power over nation .
The grudge between them should run deep .
But at this time, the Pope had smiled and invited the Monarch for a chat .
Before the Monarch had responded, a royal guard suddenly stepped out and spoke up first: “If you have anything to say, please do . There is no need to get close to the Monarch”
True enough, it was common knowledge that the Pope was a powerful person that could rival even the Fuxi Emperor, the strongest Professionist in Fuxi .
Although the Monarch herself was a Professionist, their strength couldn’t possibly be compared .
If the Pope wanted to kill the Monarch, all it takes is a single strike from a close distance .
“Varona, are you scared of me?” Isa asked .
Varona smirked sarcastically: “You should refer to me as Her Majesty the Monarch, Isa”
Isa stared straight at her and softly spoke: “Is that so? But you are also calling me by name”
“Of course I am, tell me, what position do you hold? Usurper? King Murderer?”
“I am the Holy Church’s Pope”
Varona replied: “The Holy Church belongs to the Medici clan, this generation’s clan head, Anna Medici, has yet to recognize your authority”
The Pope’s smile slowly rescinded .
Varona looked around at the world leaders and politicians in the room before looking back at Isa and spoke: “State your business”
Isa replied: “This matter is related to the shady business of the Fuxi Empire’s royalty; I think it’s better that you come here for a private conversation”
She then leaned her face on her palm, asking provocatively: “Or could it be, you don’t dare to? As a Monarch, you’re afraid of me killing you?”
Facing such provocation, Varona could only silently grit her teeth .
She really is too dangerous .
No matter what, I won’t place myself in danger .
Only children and hot-headed youths compete over every small detail .
When she was about to refuse, a familiar voice entered her ears again .
“Go, let’s hear what she has to say, don’t worry, I’m here” Gu Qing Shan said .
