Chapter 496: -25- "Steadfast" Albrecht_2

"Those were all exuberant fellows; if someone had returned, there would definitely have been a commotion. Like last year’s Vararoka, I heard that as soon as one foot stepped out of the sealing, it was resealed."

Unless it was a being from even more ancient times.

For instance, a Legendary who had dealings with him before the Bloodline split.

Or, for example, those Demigods who can deduce the true name and identity of a Demon from the lingering aura...

Wait a moment...

Deducing true names of Demigods?

Seemingly having thought of something, Albrecht’s eyes widened slightly.

"According to the Holy Royal Court’s internal documents, last year, Vararoka was resealed by the ’Dark Night God’..."

"The Church branch of the Falling Star had transmitted a message before their obliteration that behind the Northern Land Countess Charlotte de Castel, there existed a mysterious God, and there was a high possibility that it was the ’Dark Night God’..."

"The ’Dark Night God’ is suspected to be an ancient Bloodline God and seems to harbor great hostility against the Church, even suspected of invoking the God Suppressing Bell of the Holy Royal Court again a month ago..."

"In order to shift the Holy Royal Court’s attention to the Northern Land, I had once ordered Believers to gather information on the Northern Land, and while the God Suppressing Bell was in meditation once again, I anonymously tipped off the Holy Royal Court..."

"However, the Holy Royal Court clearly didn’t bite; none of the three Legendary Clergy moved!"

"Just recently, followers keeping an eye on the Castel family reported that Count Castel went to the Church today and left unscathed..."

"And not long after that, I was ambushed..."

"The three Legendary Clergy of the Lutecia Church were all in the Holy Royal Court Church; it was clearly a pre-arranged meeting."

"Hiss... Could it be that the ’Dark Night God’ has also come to Lutecia? Was there some kind of cooperation reached between the ’Dark Night God’ and the Holy Royal Court? Was it Him who ambushed me?"

Albrecht’s thoughts flew in disarray, his expression filled with shock and uncertainty.

It wasn’t that he was paranoid.

It was that he was very aware of the power of those ancient myths, and he was very clear about the Holy Royal Court’s true nature.

According to the known information, the "Dark Night God" was very likely an ancient Bloodline Demigod that existed before the establishment of the Bloodline Clan.

At that time, Albrecht had already received the First Embrace and had become a member of the Bloodline Legion, following the Blood Demon Duke Yabaton in taking part in the continent’s strife.

Even nearly two thousand years later, Albrecht still remembered that era.

Back then, some Bloodline members who did not gain command of the Legion looked askance at the six major Bloodline Princes, especially the domineering Blood Demon Legion, which had many enemies.

The "Dark Night God" was very likely among them.

As for the Holy Royal Court... Although the Holy Royal Court proclaimed hostility towards alien gods, Albrecht, who had watched this colossal entity rise, was very clear that the Holy Royal Court did not view alien gods with the hostility it seemingly displayed.

More accurately, the Holy Royal Court was hostile to those alien gods that refused to join the Royal Court system, that refused to comply with the holy tenets...

Albrecht still remembered that at the very beginning of the Holy Royal Court’s appearance, the only deity they worshiped was the Divine Lord Haral.

Later, they gradually incorporated demigods willing to join, such as the Contract God Mitra, Beauty God Aphrodite, God of Judgement Gallimore, and so on...

It was precisely with the addition of one deity after another that the Holy Royal Court quickly grew stronger, eventually forming a polytheistic faith headed by the Creator God Haral, accompanied by many sub-gods.

And Divine Lord Haral, by sharing the authority of many sub-gods, became even more powerful!

Thinking up to this point, Albrecht’s expression grew more serious.

The Holy Royal Court had assimilated more than forty sub-gods over a thousand years.

And the last one to join, hundreds of years prior, was the Contract God Mitra, who also had the second largest following among believers in the Holy Royal Court after Divine Lord Haral.

Since appearing in the present world, the "Dark Night God" has been an enemy of the Church, acting in ways more aligned with the Holy Royal Court, even the little earl rumored to be a Favored of the "Dark Night God" was called the Saintess of the Holy Royal Court...

Hiss... Could it be that the "Dark Night God" had already hooked up with the Church, and the Holy Royal Court was intending to absorb the "Dark Night God" into the Royal Court?

The Church’s report was lonely and hurried, failing to divert the Holy Royal Court’s gaze and even exposing themselves?

The more Albrecht thought, the more terrified he became, the more likely it all seemed.

He had no choice, the Blood Demon Church had dealt with the "Dark Night God" several times and, aside from already deducing that it was very likely a Bloodline entity, what was most baffling was the style of the followers; unlike the followers of Bloodline Myths, it was more like a True God Church, such as the Holy Royal Court!

But if the two sides had already been in cahoots, then it all made sense.

Yes, relying solely on the incompetent Bertrand, how could he have been forcibly summoned? The one who could summon him could only be a Legendary or even a Mythical!

If a Legendary had acted, it could not have happened without noise, and it was impossible for him to have been unaware of it.

To be able to disregard his wishes, to snatch him up before he could react, could only be the work of a God!

Thinking this, Albrecht’s expression flickered with uncertainty.

"No, I can’t stay here; I need to find a place to heal and lay low for a while..."

He glanced at the stump of his arm and murmured to himself.
