438: Chapter 438 Pope Eugene

Two days later. Blood Rainbow City. The villa basement.

"You don't have to stare at me like I'm a thief, right?"

Nie Ning said to The Young Man in the corner, feeling quite helpless while packing his things.

The other person was named Eugene Bertha, the Pope of the Nales Church.

Yes, the Pope!

After finding out the other person's identity, Nie Ning was completely stunned.

Apparently, Nales had used the most extreme contingency plan to prevent him from escaping accidentally.

Eugene shrugged: "My God gave me specific instructions, so there's nothing I can do."

Because they had already delayed for quite some time, dragging it out any further wouldn't be a good thing for him; he might even face punishment from the deity.

Nie Ning looked up at Eugene, feeling that this guy was worlds apart from the church he had imagined.

There was none of that dignified majesty; he seemed more like an ordinary young man.

Of course, setting aside that gorgeous attire...

"By the way, since your strength is so great, why don't you just go and snatch the Artifact Fragment yourself?"

Nie Ning asked casually while looking down to reorganize his experimental equipment.

Eugene knew Nie Ning was trying to pry information out of him, but he didn't care.

"Don't underestimate those wizards, and don't underestimate the strength of the major supernatural factions."

As he spoke, Eugene suddenly paused, leaned in sneakily toward Nie Ning, and whispered: "Those factions all possess the ability to slay gods!"

Upon hearing this, Nie Ning couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at Eugene in disbelief.

Good grief, what was he saying? Was this really something a member of the clergy could say?

However... a strange look flashed in Nie Ning's eyes.

If those factions had the ability to slay gods, couldn't he use that to have them take out Nales?

Eugene seemed to see through Nie Ning's thoughts, shaking his head slightly as he said: "The strength of deities varies, but the strength of the God of Nalais is absolutely immense."

"Besides, even if they couldn't handle those factions, couldn't they handle you?"

Nie Ning scratched his head upon hearing this.

If a true deity descended, dealing with him would indeed be a trivial matter. But if he were given time, who would end up dealing with whom would be the real question.

"I've brought the decree of my God this time; your time might not be as abundant as you imagine."

Eugene said abruptly.

After all, as a local resident living in this world, how could he not understand the nature of these wizards?

Each one was self-important, acting as if they were masters of their own destiny. He didn't know who gave them the courage; they had a little bit of talent and immediately wanted to drag gods down for research. It really made these people think they were something else.

Little did they know that the deity was the heavens themselves, and He would never give Nie Ning the chance to overturn the sky.

"Did Nales leave a contingency plan on me?"

Nie Ning asked bluntly.

"My God only gives you ten years. You wouldn't want to know the consequences of failing to obtain the Artifact Fragment, and you cannot escape."

Eugene didn't say it directly, but the implication was already very clear.

As a powerful deity, He naturally had His methods to suppress any accidents from happening.

And ten years might seem like a long time, but if one wanted to grow to the level of a deity, heh...

"Ten years?! You've got to be kidding me, right?"

Nie Ning looked completely stunned: "Those are factions that can slay gods; what can I do in ten years? You might as well just kill me now."

Even with his Supernatural Adaptability, in ten years, let alone Tier 9, it would be lucky if he could even grow to a 7th-Rank Wizard.

And what could a Tier 7 do? Touch things that a deity needed? That's just ridiculous!

"Sure."

Eugene said with a sudden smile.

"Considering we are all compatriots, I can refrain from offering your soul to my God and let you rest in peace."

After saying that, black slime wiggled in Eugene's hand, looking very much like he was about to make a move.

Seeing that Eugene was about to get serious, Nie Ning couldn't help but laugh awkwardly: "Hey, what are you doing? I was just trying to liven up the atmosphere. Look at you, you can't take a joke at all."

Living a miserable life is better than dying; even living ten more years would be fine.

"It's fine to joke with me, just don't do that with my superior."

Eugene took a deep look at Nie Ning and spoke again, meaningfully: "Whether you are an ordinary person or a powerful Tier 9 wizard, in the eyes of my God, you are all the same."

The power of a deity can only be truly understood after having seen it.

Don't look at the case where Belvis killed a god at Tier 9; the price paid was unimaginable, and it could be said to be quite tragic.

And that could only kill weaker deities. Some weren't even called deities, just native gods of low-level worlds; perhaps a 7th-Rank Wizard could go over and take them out.

Besides, do you really think that just because someone else can slay a god, you can too? As a wizard, failing to recognize your own limitations is a very serious problem.

"By the way, how did you become the Pope..."

Nie Ning changed the subject, not wanting to continue discussing this issue. What if he got agitated and this guy couldn't handle it?

...

Second floor.

"This is my bed!" "Mine!"

Just as Nie Ning reached the top of the stairs, he heard an argument coming from the bedroom. He didn't need to think to know it was definitely about who the bed belonged to again.

Because he hadn't been with Amivika before, they naturally slept in their own rooms.

And Xiaoguang didn't have much concept of gender; as long as he didn't touch her, it didn't really matter where she slept.

With the success of her human form, Xiaoguang usually studied and slept on the third floor, and the number of times she came downstairs to sleep became less and less.

But that was where the problem lay; Xiaoguang was a beast and had a very strong sense of territory, so she naturally wouldn't let anyone else sleep in her bed.

Because of this, the two had been making a fuss since they returned yesterday.

Nie Ning walked to the bedroom door and knocked on the doorframe, feeling quite helpless: "We're not taking the bed with us; can you two stop arguing over a bed?"

"No! I want to take it!" Xiaoguang said, tugging at the quilt, pouting angrily.

"I don't agree either; she should know who the mistress of this house is!" Amivika also looked displeased.

Immediately after, the two started wrestling together, neither willing to give an inch.

Nie Ning turned to look at Eugene behind him.

Eugene waved his hand: "Don't look at me; I can't handle this kind of thing either."

Nie Ning helplessly went into the room and separated the two.

Looking at the two panting, Nie Ning looked left and right, finally settling on Xiaoguang. "Xiaoguang is the boss."

After all, everything has an order of arrival, and he and Amivika weren't exactly in true love, so he certainly couldn't wrong Xiaoguang.

Besides, what good person doesn't sleep at night? Even if he were willing, his kidneys couldn't take it.

"I knew you were the best!" Xiaoguang jumped onto Nie Ning's shoulder with an excited look, and even glared at Amivika provocatively.

"Why!" Amivika was furious, slamming into Nie Ning with a shoulder charge, knocking him down, and then started wrestling with Xiaoguang again.
