Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 709 - 686 Alfarias Misinterpretation

Chapter 709: 686, Alfaria’s Misinterpretation Chapter 709: 686, Alfaria’s Misinterpretation This was the second day.

Outside that high tower.

The snowstorm had stopped since last night.

Now it was daytime.

Perhaps it was the weather, or perhaps it was because Mercer and his three companions had brought back that stele, Alfaria felt his gloomy mood becoming more cheerful.

“But why does this stele have the method of Armored Divinity Ascension?”

Alfaria looked at the stele, at the strange symbols written by Du Wei, and he immediately understood the information recorded on it.

...

By Mercer and the others, there were looks of confusion in their eyes.

“Lord Alfaria, when we acquired this stele, the information was already like this. Do you think someone did this on purpose?”

Alfaria said with an indistinct tone, “On purpose? Why would you have such a thought?”

Since Mercer had done a splendid job this time, he felt his say in the Vanity Sect held more weight.

He couldn’t wait to share his opinion.

So, he boldly speculated, “Our Vanity Sect has existed for far too long, and we have no shortage of enemies. Take the church, for example; it talks of benevolence and morality, but in reality, after existing for a thousand years, it hasn’t done anything worthwhile. Instead, its relationship with our Vanity Sect has been very awkward. I have always disliked the church.”

Beside him, Lord Ferran raised an eyebrow.

However, with his face covered by a mask, no one could see it.

If it weren’t for the fact that Ferran was undercover, he would have killed Mercer on the spot.

To speak ill of the church in front of a former pope…

Tsk…

It could only be said that Mercer has become conceited.

Seeing that Alfaria seemed to have no objections, Mercer continued, “The church and we have had many conflicts, as well as the Voodoo Cult and other religious organizations like the Satanic Cult. In short, none are friendly towards the Vanity Sect, with the exception of the Veda Sect.”

Of course, the Veda Sect had already perished.

“So what is your opinion?” Alfaria said, stroking the stele with an even tone.

“My opinion is, this stele might have been tampered with,” Mercer said as a matter of course. “Other than the stele that sunk into the Public Sea, we have seen all the other steles.”

“But those two did not contain any records of Armored Divinity Ascension. Instead, they talked about the terror of the Demon God and the birth of the Demon God.”

“From this deduction, these steles are actually objects of worship created by those who worship the Demon God, or perhaps they were left behind by the Demon God himself since steles cannot be destroyed.”

“Given that, why would the creator of the steles leave behind a method to become a Demon God?”

“Clearly, this is a trap.”

The other members of the Vanity Sect, upon hearing these words, all nodded in agreement.

Brand and Gascogne alone exchanged glances, both perceiving a hint of meaning in the other’s eyes.

In the Victorian Era, they had witnessed His Excellency the Duke become a deity armored in London City.

The havoc that could easily annihilate a city and the terrifying destructive power had instilled an ardent worship and a psychological shadow in them that persisted to this day.

However, Brand was a worshipper.

Gascogne was the one with the psychological shadow.

After listening, Alfaria simply sneered. He said calmly, “Mercer, your thoughts are quite good. If I were in your position, I would indeed think the stele must have been tampered with.”

“But you have not lived through that dark age; you cannot comprehend what Armored Divinity Ascension truly means.”

“`

Mercer’s lips twitched, “The Dark Age? Do you mean the Victorian Era?”

Alfaria nodded and looked at the stele with an incredibly eerie gaze.

He reached out to touch it.

Then he whispered, “I have seen it before, a man used the method of Armored Divinity Ascension to try and kill the Demon God, and he actually succeeded.”

“In this world, he is the only person I am afraid of.”

“Even though I am now confident I am not weaker than him, I still dare not pursue his past.”

“It is a taboo.”

“However, the man’s method of Armored Divinity Ascension is extremely rudimentary, almost primitive compared to what is recorded on the stele.”

Having said that, Alfaria turned around and pointed to Brand and Gascogne, “You should understand what I mean.”

Brand’s eyes were somewhat glazed.

In a flash, he seemed to see the Victorian Era from over two hundred years ago, when his name was still Corrine Dowqui.

That was when he first met His Excellency the Duke, whom he most admired.

Gascogne, on the other hand, snorted, “He’s just a lament from the old era. His power is nothing remarkable by today’s standards, and Armored Divinity Ascension? His crude method now seems laughable.”

The others were baffled.

Alfaria explained calmly, “I believe that the path of Armored Divinity Ascension recorded on the stele is the complete version, whereas the version the man encountered was flawed and rudimentary.”

“Otherwise, during the Victorian Era, he wouldn’t have just used this method to kill a Demon God.”

They were all shocked upon hearing this.

Killing a Demon God?

The method of Armored Divinity Ascension could actually kill a Demon God?

How was that possible?

Alfaria didn’t want to delve too deeply into this topic.

He said indifferently, “Brand, Gascogne, take this stele back with you. I already have all the information from it.”

“Additionally, Ferran, you have always been responsible for the affairs of the Vanity Sect. Now, I am assigning you another task, which you must complete promptly.”

Lord Ferran replied calmly, “Please speak.”

As if it were a matter of no consequence, Alfaria announced, “Next month, we will begin the final ritual, but I now feel that perhaps the path of Armored Divinity Ascension could be an alternative. Prepare an additional ritual.”

Ferran nodded, “I will have it ready before next month.”

Alfaria said with satisfaction, “Hmm, I am very reassured by your work.”

Meanwhile, Gascogne and Brand looked at the stele, both wearing a peculiar expression.

Especially Brand.

He was full of doubt, wondering whether His Excellency the Duke was truly as powerful as he thought.

Was the path of Armored Divinity Ascension just a simplified version he had learned from elsewhere?

And now, Alfaria had obtained the complete original version from the stele, so did that mean Alfaria was even more fearsome than His Excellency the Duke?

Gascogne touched the stele, his attention drawn to the symbols at the very bottom.

As if compelled, he asked, “Lord Alfaria, what does the information at the bottom mean?”

Alfaria, who was about to enter the tower, paused.

He said calmly, “Non-human does not mean not me.”
