Chapter 2366: Chapter 1055: Envoy to the Council of Death Chiefs

"A master sculptor’s art at this level should know there are things that can be carved and things that cannot," Katherine said solemnly. "If you’re not careful, you could bring disaster upon yourself, and even cause widespread devastation.

You know very well that General Gaven is falling into darkness; you should not continue to carve his effigy.

Once such a work remains in the world and more people see it, it will only increase the difficulty of pulling him out of the darkness."

Once the Saint Body of Lady Strategy, Katherine’s accomplishments in theology are far superior to the average person.

She deeply understands that faith is a troublesome thing because, many times, it is not completely controlled by the True Gods.

They cannot force others to believe in them, at least not the benevolent True Gods.

They cannot even fully guide the direction of their followers’ faith, only lead.

However, the long history of Felen Divine History is not short of instances where the followers of a True Gods have deviated, taking the god with them.

If this happens to one of the strong True Gods, it’s called two sides of the same coin, and they unexpectedly gain a new Incarnation.

If it occurs with a weak True God, especially someone like Gaven who hasn’t fully established their Divine Foundation, it will directly affect his future Divine Path.

Gaven seems to have gained significantly in the Bottomless Abyss, but there are huge risks, and it’s not a long-term solution. A way must be found to drag him out of this filthy quagmire quickly.

Don’t try to conquer the Bottomless Abyss; it’s something even the high Gods of the Outer Plane have not achieved.

When you arrogantly think you’ve conquered the Bottomless Abyss, you actually become assimilated by it, turning into its new trophy.

"This is art! It’s to preserve a beautiful moment from the past! Do you understand?" Domingo was not so enlightened; he only knew his painstaking three-month effort had gone down the drain.

This was his favorite piece; he had a feeling that if he could complete it, a new door to carving would open for him.

"I don’t understand."

Katherine’s one sentence made Domingo so angry that smoke practically came out of his seven orifices, as he shouted, "Stubborn stone, stubborn stone cannot be carved!"

No matter how angry he was, he didn’t dare point his hammer and chisel at Katherine.

A woman who can instantly cast Great Disenchantment, especially one dressed as a warrior, is definitely not someone to mess with. Killing him would be a mere flick of her hand.

"Get out, get out of my room. I don’t want to talk to you," Domingo decided privately, planning to install a stone door in his cave later.

No, better make it a stone wall, only accessible through the ability to manipulate stone.

So as to prevent these unrelated people from disturbing his peace.

Neither Shanoba nor Katherine were moved, the latter spoke directly, "I need to meet with The Chieftain of the Void to convey General Gaven’s latest orders. I need you to lead the way!"

"Meet the Chieftain of the Void? Return to the Council of Death Chiefs? No, absolutely not!" Domingo shook his head like a rattle.

It’s not just out of revenge for Katherine destroying his prized work, but out of an innate fear of the Council of Death Chiefs and the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain. Hearing these names sends a chill through his heart.

Understanding Domingo’s ostrich mentality, Katherine persuaded, "Avoiding won’t solve anything; half of the year has already passed, and you can’t hide for much longer.

Just take me to the Council of Death Chiefs, and I’ll help resolve the matter of the Death Mark on you, granting you permanent freedom."

On her way to Colossus City, Gaven had already descended via Divine Thought to Blood Gorge City, anticipating her plan and made urgent contact with her.

He not only granted her formal authorization but also provided sufficient intelligence and strength support, such as the complete agreement content and detailed information of the Council of Death Chiefs, and the conditions Gaven could give.

"Not going... Ah..." Domingo wanted to refuse firmly, but it turned into a scream, as he curled up like a colossal prawn on the ground, clutching his chest.

Previously, the cold in his chest was just a mental illusion.

Now it was a real presence.

Katherine’s words seemed to trigger some mechanism; the Death Mark on the Stone Giant’s chest was activated, emitting a chilling aura, as if an invisible icy hand clutched his heart, ready to stop it at any second.

"I’ll go... I’ll go... I’ll go..." Domingo responded loudly.

Clearly, he wasn’t answering Katherine but the owner of the Death Mark—the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain, Duokong.

As soon as he finished speaking, the freezing energy gripping his heart subsided, returning to the Death Mark.

"As expected," Katherine’s eyes flickered for a moment, not surprised by the situation.

The role of the Death Mark was not only intimidation but also had the abilities of monitoring and surveillance. As long as the other party wished, Domingo’s every word and action, including those around him, were completely exposed.

This was a means deliberately left by the Undead Stone Giant Chieftain to communicate with Gaven.

"Since the master has already agreed, let’s go." Katherine didn’t want to delay for even a moment.

For her, this was no longer the primary task.

Rescuing Gaven from the Bottomless Abyss as soon as possible, to prevent him from being assimilated, was the most urgent matter.
