From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 436 Chess Player Mode

The immense black light was no longer just a tangible luminance; it resembled ink spilling from the deepest part of the abyss, bringing with it a bone-chilling coldness and unspeakable horror, madly tearing through the boundaries between reality and illusion.

The dark radiance wasn't merely a visual shock but a direct assault on the soul. Each ray of black light seemed to carry the cries of the end and the wails of despair, as if the malice from the depths of hell was reveling wildly, celebrating their feast.

People throughout the entire world were almost suffocated by the terrifying atmosphere, every inch of their skin felt the icy touch of death, and their mental states were firmly grasped by endless fear, unable to break free.

"What on earth are those black lights?"

"Why has the whole world turned into night, wasn't it just daytime?"

"Where is the sun? Why has the sun disappeared?"

Even the Blazing Sun in the sky seemed to have hidden away, and in that moment, the entire world became silent and frightening. On the land, numerous animals and even plants sensed an unprecedented threat, curling up their bodies in a bizarre manner.

In the face of this absolute power, all life seemed so insignificant and powerless.

And those black lights continued to expand and spread as if intending to engulf the entire world into the endless darkness. In the abyss of despair, people began to doubt whether there were any divinities willing to heed their prayers, whether there was any hope of light that could pierce through this boundless darkness…

The black light gradually disappeared from sight, but the shock in the hearts of the people did not. This terrifying spectacle, which occurred every few years, had become a topic of discussion for everyone.

Many even prophesized that it was a sign of the impending destruction of the world, and even the vigorous refutations by the True Gods Church were ineffective.

Karl could clearly feel that the power he possessed had recovered further!

"This part of the memory is about power…"

He knew not only the Extraordinary Sequence promotion ceremonies for the God Pantheon stairway, all the way up to the Tenth Tier of each path but also discovered that he could do more things than before.

The most important aspect was that Karl now needed to consume less Spiritual Power to do anything.

For example, Karl suddenly found that now he no longer needed to expend Spiritual Power for "issuing Divine Oracles"; he could communicate at any time with the direct members of the Fischer family, that is, those favored clan members who bore his own brand.

"Although the consumption of Spiritual Power wasn't much before, it really is a great thing to become completely without consumption."

Moreover, he was now able to scatter his consciousness amongst many believers at once, directing or even manipulating large numbers of followers from the Dawn Church at any time, which meant he had activated a special strategic mode.

It was as if he had become a true chess player.

After sensing the power, Karl then dispersed his consciousness to observe the many members of the Fischer family.

The Fischer family had already become a vast Secret clan, and he had as many as eleven favored clan members.

These eleven favored clan members were Chris, Darren, Christine, Karno, Felix, Helen, Archer, Hecate, Arte, Delia, and Carter.

Karl pondered to himself.

"Without a doubt, Chris and Darren are the two strongest favored ones, and Hecate is the one with the most potential in the Fischer family, followed by Karno, Felix, and Helen. As for the most devout person, that is unquestionably Archer."

In the Grand Hall beneath Fischer Manor, among the many members of the Dawn Church, excluding external members like Vanessa and Andre, there were a total of eight favored clan members belonging to the Fischer family. Read new adventures at empire

Felix, an undercover infiltrator for the Reforging Church, wasn't there; Karno, who had left the family to act on his own, wasn't there; and also absent was the seven-year-old Carter, who was too young.

Karl subsequently transferred his consciousness to Darren, covering the space above him as if he were the divinity that resided "three feet above one's head".

He could keenly feel that Darren was just as excited about the miracle that had just occurred as the other family members and also sensed a feeling of relief.

Karl could understand why Darren had "breathed a sigh of relief".

Because he was well aware that in the upcoming war, Cyart would likely have to resist three nations with his own strength, and facing the terrifying encirclement of the triple alliance, even the Fischer family with many secret forces would have a hard time contending.

And the further awakening of his own power would undoubtedly give the Fischer family a chance to breathe.

Although Darren was often very crazy, his concern for family members was always constant.

Afterwards, Karl, suspended in the air, listened to the Fischer family's discussion.

"Fantastic!"

Archer revealed an excited smile, even trembling with excitement as he loudly said, "The great Lord of the Lost is finally making further strides in his revival! The day of the great achievement is getting closer and closer!"

"Yes, the day of the great achievement... I wonder what will happen that day..." Christine sighed in her wheelchair, not becoming overly happy, just reflective.

"When that day comes, we will all witness the descent of the God's Kingdom on earth, and everything will welcome the dawn and the first light, everything will change as all beings wish, to gain unprecedented satisfaction and happiness..." Archer smiled, easily reciting the content that Irene had once written in the scriptures.

How should I put it?

Karl really didn't know what to say—because, in fact, he didn't have a clear idea himself about what would actually happen after truly unraveling the ten seals.

"As of today, I increasingly feel that the removal of the seals is not just about a gradual restoration of power, but very likely to bring about some... unknown and special situation."

The next moment, Karl also projected part of his consciousness onto Karno Fischer, who was thousands of miles away.

In the capital of the Lorne Empire, the City of Thousands and the City of Stars, Kennas, on one of the streets, a seemingly young Karno hid in a dark and narrow hotel room, slightly tense, as he had been investigating the cause of Viscount Johnville's death for several days.

After witnessing the burning death of Viscount Johnville, Karno cautiously concealed himself, guarding against subsequent assassins, while investigating the cause of death of his old friend Viscount Johnville.

"Is it because of the power of Heavenly Enlightenment? Could it be because of some Heavenly Enlightenment from the Sun Church? No, there's another person who could do this..."

Karl observed everything around Karno calmly from the skies above.

He immediately spread his consciousness further, centering on Karno and expanding for several kilometers, observing everything within that radius with a godlike perspective.

No one could know of His existence.

And Karl looked down upon all beings, whether mortal or Extraordinary Exponent, all flowing like ants.

"In the capital of the Lorne Empire, there are also three members from the Black Tide, and the tendrils of the Dawn Church have stretched across half the Ouden Continent."

"Very good."

"Having further increased influence, the speed at which I collect Mysterious rare artifacts has also accelerated."

Now counting Karno Fischer, the Dawn Church had a total of four people in the capital of the Lorne Empire, Kennas.

They were Karno, on the Path of Revelation 5th Rank "Eye of Fate," an Extraordinary Exponent from the Tranquility Sequence of the Path of Tranquility 3rd Rank "Disguiser," an Extraordinary Exponent from the Consecution Sequence of the Path of Wholeheartedness 2nd Rank "Painter," and an Extraordinary Exponent from the Shadow Sequence of the Path of Shadow 3rd Rank "Blood Dancer."

Karl then divided his consciousness, simultaneously inhabiting these individuals.

Suddenly, he discovered something strange on the Path of Wholeheartedness 2nd Rank "Painter"—faint bubbles began to appear.

They were pale white bubbles, something he had never seen before, drawing Karl's full attention at that moment.

"Hmm, what is that?"
