Chapter 894: Chapter 463: Start Making the Soul of Darkness_2

At that moment, Asrostedanli, the head of the Imperial Guards of Alsace, revealed a sinister look in his eyes. Standing beside him was a young noble from the court of Henry VII, who had also informed on the head of the Imperial Guards.

Asrostedanli spoke sinisterly to Henry VII, "I did not expect this, Your Majesty, that you would dare to lay hands on me, on your benefactor. You ungrateful capitalist, have you forgotten that without me, you would never have been worthy of your distinguished status today?"

"Were it not for the many agents I had planted within your court, I would have been unaware that you all wished for my death."

Henry VII was extremely nervous. "Listen to me first, it’s not what you think. Someone must take the responsibility for what happened with Ivita."

The head of the Imperial Guards, Asrostedanli, licked his lips. "Yes, someone must take the responsibility, or else the nations and the Church will not rest, and the nobles within the kingdom will also grow distant from the Royal Capital. A price must be paid, a price in blood. Your Majesty, I ask you to make that payment."

"Tonight is yet another evening where our Imperial Guard contributes to the kingdom."

Jalen coldly watched him, a look of disdain on his face. "Asrostedanli, you were defeated by Ivita, do you realize that? Today is not us putting you in jeopardy, it is because you were defeated by Ivita that your subordinates and connections have anticipated the collapse of your power, you are being marginalized, so your influence is crumbling by itself. In simpler terms, you’re already out of the game."

Asrostedanli curled his lips. "Shut up. I have the army of the Imperial Guards within the court, whoever has the military strength is the boss, I do not care who you are, all of you must die."

...

Three days later, Ivita received news that there was a significant change in the upper echelons of Alsace. First and foremost, Asrostedanli, the former head of the Imperial Guards, had been stripped of his position and turned into a prisoner, and many of his previous nefarious deeds had been unearthed.

For instance, Asrostedanli had once hired witches to brazenly kill several military trainers within the Imperial Guard in the Royal Capital of Alsace, oust dissenters, place confidants, and is even suspected of plotting against the former King of Alsace. Furthermore, many of the Alsace regime’s problems and the use of the Black Death plague to eliminate subordinates, and the blame for assassinating Ivita, were all placed on Asrostedanli.

Asrostedanli was soon to be beheaded on the guillotine personally designed by Henry VII, as a warning to others.

The current King of Alsace, Henry VII, even publicly invited Ivita to attend Asrostedanli’s execution and expressed heartfelt condolences to Ivita at various public events.

As for his sincerity, it was probably as fake as plastic.

Ivita said to the Winter Witch sitting next to him in the study, "I didn’t expect that the victor of their internal strife would be Henry VII. I thought it would be Asrostedanli who would win."

"It appears that Asrostedanli underestimated Henry VII."

The Winter Witch simply said, "That’s not surprising. Henry VII is incompetent, but his eldest son has the makings of a true ruler. Asrostedanli underestimated Henry VII’s child, so he ended up utterly defeated."

Ivita nodded, Asrostedanli, such an expert in internal strife, apart from weakening the nation and satisfying his personal lust for power, truly served no other purpose.

But now, Ivita was indeed, responsible for the downfall of one individual in the alliance of Asrostedanli—Henry VII—Oyo III.

He considered it a minor act of vengeance.

The Hearthstone Witch stood in front of the table and said to Ivita, "Your Majesty, are you really going to watch Asrostedanli’s execution?"

Ivita said, "Yes, of course I will go. I want to witness the downfall of my enemy personally. I will send my giant magic-created avatar; even if that avatar is destroyed, it’s merely a matter of investing a little more time and an insignificant amount of magic resources to create another."

"I originally wanted to visit the Church first, then create a Soul of Darkness. But now, it seems unnecessary."

"With Asrostedanli’s actions, the Church is only likely to remain neutral for a short period."

Ivita looked at the second secret report in her hand that described how the Demon God of the Subspace suddenly invaded Alsace and the territories directly under the Imperial Emperor again. It had devoured several villages in succession, with a menacing momentum, raising suspicion of wanting to reignite the war between the Magic Black Forest and the Subspace.

The King of Alsace, Henry VII, had already written letters to other nations and The Church asking for assistance, but the nations and The Church did not want to support him unless they saw the severity of the Demon God’s invasion for themselves.

The Church had recently been caught up in disputes about religious heresy, where a bishop from a remote region began preaching that The Church did not have the right to interpret scriptures, and that spreading the gospel did not need The Church, only the scriptures were necessary.

The Church felt this was a misguided argument; they believed both The Church and the scriptures were authoritative tools used by the God of All Things to spread the gospel, even arguing that the Church and its senior ranks held more authority than the ’dead’ scriptures.

The other nations, having discovered a new continent, each wanted to have a share of it, leaving them no resources to bother with Alsace and the Empire.

Moreover, their reputation had been poor lately, leaving others to wonder if this was yet another conspiracy.

"Jalen and the eldest son of Oyo III have gone to investigate the Demon God of the Subspace," Ivita said. "With this, I can be at ease making the Soul of Darkness."

The Hearthstone Witch suddenly addressed Ivita, "Your Majesty, I also feel that I have reached the point where I can create the Soul of Darkness. Earlier when you collected potions, and we made six types of potions together along with the dark group potions, I asked the Sect Hierarch of the Sun God Sect, the King of the Ancient Tomb, and the Winter Witch to open my inner incarnation, and I successfully created these three potions."

"I am also about to create the Soul of Darkness soon. I believe that creating the Soul of Darkness together would benefit you by aiding in misleading our enemies."

Ivita raised her eyebrows; she could guess why the Hearthstone Witch had reached the level of creating the Soul of Darkness. She herself was no ordinary person, and with prolonged exposure to Ivita, she was continuously influenced.

In the past, the Lich Lord, who had only been slightly influenced by her, went from having no magical talent to possessing a very strong magical talent.

The Hearthstone Witch had always been with her, so she had definitely changed.

Especially since Ivita received the spot of Demon God and ignited the Divine Immortal Spark, that divine spark radiated energy naturally, blessing those around her.

Ivita said, "Then you create the Soul of Darkness here, and I will have the Black Knight Regiment, the King of the Ancient Tomb, the Desert Soldiers, and the Blue Illusion Witch protect you. The Law will also protect you. Princess of Winter, if you are willing to help watch over here, I would be very grateful."

The Winter Witch nodded at Ivita. "Now we have a common goal."

Ivita stood up, "Then I shall now return to the depths of the Star Realm."

"Once I succeed in creating the Soul of Darkness, I will return. If I fail, I will also return. Even though defeating the Alsace Kingdom may not necessarily require the successful creation of the Soul of Darkness, it would be quite regrettable if I failed."

The Winter Witch said to Ivita, "You will be successful. The Soul of Darkness, created with nine potions, is the most powerful and most authentic of its kind."

"Only this type of Soul of Darkness has the chance to go a step further."

Using divine power, Ivita simulated a death aura, and immediately behind her appeared a splendid starry sky that in an instant turned into nothingness, silent and enveloped by boundless darkness. A tremendous pulling force emerged from there, beginning to summon Ivita to enter.

Ivita did not resist and in a moment, re-entered the Tomb of the Gods.

As he entered the Tomb of the Gods and looked at the empty world around him, he began searching for God Charlemagne and the others. "The Tomb of the Gods is too vast, boundless."

"I wonder if I can find my ancestors."

"If not, I’ll find a safe place in the depths of the Star Realm to start creating the Soul of Darkness. The vastness of the Tomb of the Gods is perfect for a hiding place."
