"Let's go."

After entering the dungeon and confirming that the action plan had no major flaws, Liens led Isabelle and the others towards Glen Village.

At this time, the sun had already set, and the moonlight was proudly declaring its sovereignty over the night.

Adonis looked up at the bright moon in the sky, thinking of his loving Life with his wife, Heidi. In his eyes, the bright moon was like a mirror, reflecting that gentle face.

Gazing at the bright moon, immersed in the beauty of the past, he fantasized about how wonderful his future with his wife, Heidi, would have been if that incident hadn't happened?

Unfortunately, he knew very well that all of this was just his fantasy; the reality was that incident had destroyed all his beautiful things.

Recalling that day, recalling Liens, Adonis's fists unconsciously clenched, his expression turned ferocious, and his eyes revealed endless rage and deep hatred, with wisps of flames igniting from beneath his feet.

"Calm down."

A majestic voice echoed in Adonis's mind, pulling him out of his intense fury.

"Hatred can be your motivation and goal for growth, but you must not get lost in it and lose the ability to control yourself."

"A person who lets emotions control them, no matter how strong the power they wield, cannot be considered a true strong one. Of course, such people generally cannot cross that threshold, and the power they can control is limited."

"You must clearly recognize that your true goal is not revenge, but to reclaim everything you have lost."

"You should let your anger, let this fire of hatred, become a blazing blade that cuts through obstacles in your path."

Antonio admonished Adonis, telling him to control the hatred in his heart, rather than being controlled by hatred.

"I know."

Adonis nodded seriously, indicating that he had taken the teaching to heart.

Regarding the existence possessing him, he had gone from initial fear and discomfort to now choosing to completely obey its commands.

He knew this was an Evil God. Liens had not concealed this from him, and had never even claimed to be some Great Existence, but rather openly stated that Liens was just a fallen Evil God.

However, even so, he still did not dare to show any disrespect.

Even a fallen Evil God was not something an ordinary Extraordinary One like him could contend with, especially since he could stand here now thanks to Liens's great power.

It was this 'resurrection' ability that was the most important reason he chose to become Liens's subordinate.

He wanted to resurrect his wife, Heidi, and Liens had promised him this.

He didn't know if this promise was truly effective, but he could only choose to believe, because he had no other choice, and he had nothing left to lose.

He had already 'died' once, and this Life was purely a bonus. Even if he died again, it would only mean returning to his beloved wife's side.

So he had nothing to fear, and nothing to worry about.

"Time is almost up. Go and preside over the ritual."

Noticing Adonis quickly suppressing his anger and calming his emotional fluctuations, Antonio secretly nodded in his mind.

Although Adonis's talent was not particularly outstanding, it was still decent. With Liens's help, completing the second-tier Extraordinary stage would be no problem. After that, it would depend on his comprehension and state of mind.

However, Liens was not overly concerned about this.

Among so many people back then, the reason Liens chose Adonis was precisely because of the strong aura of destiny on him.

People who are favored by destiny generally don't achieve anything small.

It might even be that Liens's act of possessing Adonis was a deliberate arrangement by 'Destiny,' allowing Liens to extend his Life and enable him to fulfill the destiny he was supposed to complete.

It's just that Liens's main focus was not destiny. Although Liens could perceive destiny fluctuations due to Liens's rank, Liens could not clearly see what destiny Adonis was carrying.

Therefore, Liens did not forcefully take over Adonis's body. Instead, Liens tried his best to teach him, help him quickly grow stronger, and even give him a goal to strive for.

Liens wanted to see how 'Destiny' would arrange the script.

"Mm."

Adonis heard Antonio's command and nodded solemnly.

He slightly adjusted the black priest's robe on his body, then stepped with a majestic expression towards the village center square where the sacrifice ritual was located.

At this moment, the grand statue temple was already empty. All the villagers had gathered in the square specially built for the sacrifice ritual, awaiting the arrival of their Lord Bishop.

Looking around, one could see the burning flames illuminating the dim village.

"Hmm?"

Adonis hadn't even left the statue temple when he saw a sword-wielding knight in armor standing ahead.

He carefully scrutinized the unfamiliar knight before him. The dark silver armor echoed the dim night, making the knight seem like a shadow emerging from the darkness, both real and illusory.

"Be careful, this person is not simple. If necessary, I will take over your body."

Antonio's serious voice echoed in Adonis's mind, making the vigilance in his eyes even more solemn.

For the Evil God possessing him to say 'not simple,' it certainly wasn't an ordinary Extraordinary One, and might not even be a regular second-tier Extraordinary One.

He had now been promoted to Great Knight with Antonio's help, becoming a strong one like the Earl. If it were an ordinary person, Antonio wouldn't need to warn him to be careful at all.

Even Antonio, as an Evil God, couldn't discern his true nature, which already proved how terrifying an existence the knight before him was.

While Adonis was vigilantly watching the shadowy knight, Antonio was also 'observing' Liens.

After all, Liens was once a god who ruled the world. Although Liens had now fallen into an Evil God, and was so weak that Liens needed to parasitize in someone else's body, Liens's rank was still there.

An ordinary person couldn't get this close without Liens noticing.

If Liens hadn't revealed Lienself, Liens might have suffered a small loss.

Of course, Liens could see that this person was not a Legend-level existence, so while Liens was a little wary, Liens didn't take it too seriously.

Although Liens was down and out, Liens felt that dealing with some mortals below the Legend level was not a big problem, and at worst, Liens could still escape.

"Sir, do you have any business here?"

Adonis did not rashly show hostility but respectfully asked the knight blocking his way.

However, he waited for a while but still received no response. The knight remained calmly standing there, without a word, like a dead object.

Seeing this, Adonis frowned. He naturally knew that the person before him was not a dead object, but a powerful existence. This behavior made it difficult for him to discern what Liens's attitude was.

Helpless, Adonis decided to try and see if he could bypass the knight and first complete the sacrifice ritual Antonio requested.

However, just as he was about to take a step, a flash of sword light instantly brushed past his body. If he hadn't reacted in time, a section of his calf would have been like the cracked earth, separated from his body.

Ignoring his lingering fear, a voice etched into his soul instantly ignited his endless rage.

"Don't move, stay here."

The knight's voice was very calm, and not even very loud, like a casual greeting, but in Adonis's ears, it was no less than a thunderclap.

He remembered this voice, he would never forget this voice.

The endless rage in his heart transformed into actual flames burning on Adonis's body. He drew the longsword hanging at his waist, flames entwining it, preparing to rush over and hack this guy to death.

"Calm down!"

Antonio forcibly controlled Adonis's body, making Adonis freeze in place, unable to move.

"I know your hatred for your enemy, but this person in front of you may not be the one you think Liens is."

"I've seen your memories. The strength of this person in front of you has far exceeded the level of your enemy in your memories. You are not Liens's opponent."

"Moreover, only a month has passed. If this person truly is your enemy, then Liens's leap in strength is truly beyond normal comprehension."

"Let me do it."

"I will help you confirm if Liens is 'Liens,' and if Liens is, I will leave you the opportunity for personal revenge."

Hearing this, although unwilling, Adonis still let go of his resistance and allowed Antonio to take over his body.

From the instant sword strike just now, he knew that he was very likely not this person's opponent.

Instead of bringing trouble upon himself and being a burden to Antonio, it was better to be direct and let Antonio take over the body to deal with the 'enemy' before him.

Thoughts moved quickly. The conversation between Antonio and Adonis happened in consciousness, so the long dialogue was completed in just a brief moment.

After Adonis let go, Antonio took over the body, but Liens did not immediately attack. Instead, Liens obeyed Liens's words and stood still, carefully sensing the information of the enemy before him.

That sword strike just now also made Liens understand how this person got so close to Liens.

Liens didn't expect this person to also control 'killing intent.'

Due to being too weak, Liens's current Sense methods are mainly based on the more energy-saving and common 'killing intent,' which makes it difficult for Liens to detect the enemy's approach when it is shielded.

This was Liens's oversight.

"Are you waiting for them?"

Antonio said in a deep voice.

After realizing that the 'killing intent' was shielded, Liens immediately switched to 'flesh Sense ' and instantly sensed the movement in the square.

The clergy there were touching Liens's 'food.'
