Chapter 1896: Chapter 591: Red Moon Erosion (6k)

"Master, please don’t make things hard. This guy is an 8th Rank after all.

Even though I’m borrowing your Strength, my essence is still only Seventh Rank. If this guy goes all out, to make sure I win, I really can’t afford to hold back.

If I hadn’t used the Divine Arts you granted me to damage his soul, I might not have been able to beat him."

Vlad looked down at Liuchuan on the ground with genuine respect—of course, the respect of a worthy opponent in terms of strength.

"I was hoping to get at least some intel out of him. Now his soul is shattered like this... even if we fix it, we’ll probably lose more than half..."

Bai Yi sighed, but still raised her hand and started treatment with superpower. Her superpower’s Strength branched out on the soul level, like vines wrapping the broken soul fragments back together.

But compared to an intact soul, the shards left behind, even pieced together, were less than one-fifth.

She had originally planned to convert him. After all, Liuchuan was still an 8th Rank Transcendent, with decent talent.

And he was one of those historical high-tier figures; once converted, she could conveniently get the intel she wanted out of him.

But now...

She withdrew the hand that was channeling superpower and met his shocked gaze.

"Why so surprised?

Since you’ve already seen the secrets here, you should realize you’re not going back, right?"

Bai Yi had no interest in continuing to talk with a guy whose soul had been shattered to dust. She turned, waving her hand dismissively.

"I’m leaving him to you, Vlad. You should be able to control him, right?

I remember I’ve enhanced the corresponding Divine Arts. Once the conversion is done, make sure to sort out whatever intel you get and send it to me."

Even if truly advancing to 8th Rank was still difficult, Bai Yi did periodically update the Divine Arts themselves.

For now, only high-tier Red Moon believers could benefit from these updates.

That included the soul-damaging Divine Arts Vlad had just used.

"Yes, I’ll handle him properly."

Only after watching Bai Yi leave did Vlad leisurely take out a few special Potions, and begin preparing the Blood Servant conversion.

Compared to Bai Yi, who had outright ignored Liuchuan, Vlad’s attitude was much more pleasant.

"Relax, this isn’t my first time doing a Blood Servant conversion. There won’t be any pain.

Everything you want to know, you’ll know once you become a Blood Servant.

Now that Master has improved the tech, becoming a Blood Servant no longer means losing massive chunks of emotion and memory. I’ll explain the rest to you then."

He didn’t give Liuchuan any chance to speak—Liuchuan didn’t have the ability to talk at all at this point anyway. The Potion was triggered through Potion Magic, coiling around Liuchuan’s body.

The Blood Servant conversion Divine Arts followed right after; once the conversion passed the halfway point, it was already irreversible.

"This guy is arranged. The believers on the surface should be almost done too..."

Vlad lifted his head toward the ceiling of the cavern; his gaze followed his consciousness up to the surface.

Surface, Transcendent landing zone of the Three Great Civilizations’ fleets

Ellie held a rapier, standing with several bishops also wielding Fifth Tier Abnormal Objects, loosely confronting a Fifth Tier opponent, encircling him.

Inside a high-altitude ship, the Empire’s person in charge watched this scene through a virtual screen, not even sure what kind of expression he should have.

What was supposed to be a single ambush, according to plan, had started collapsing almost as soon as it began.

First, the enemy’s intensity far exceeded expectations. They brought out Strength beyond what the spies had reported, shaking the "victory" that was supposed to be the foundation of the entire operation, forcing them to call for reinforcements.

If it had stopped there, the plan would still be within controllable bounds.

Back when they learned from the Gray Gang that the Church would take the initiative to attack them, they had already anticipated that the Red Moon Church had some hidden trump cards, and that their actual Strength definitely surpassed a United Law Enforcement Fleet in normal condition.

They had already arranged backup measures to guard against this foreseen "accident."

But once the accident truly happened, the High-tier Extraordinary who was supposed to arrive immediately to dominate the battlefield never came.

The Empire’s person in charge guessed that a high-level believers group was intercepting him, and at one point he even thought they had completely failed.

Under the assault of three believers wielding Abnormal Objects, their defensive line may as well have not existed, getting breached with ease.

Luckily, just as those attackers were about to close in, several Fifth Tiers who had come along as reinforcements, together with a Tier Six, finally descended from the sky and tangled with those believers.

But before these Powerhouses could properly unleash their Strength and counterattack—

Almost at the same time, over twenty more 4th Rank believers using similar Abnormal Objects emerged from within the Church’s ranks.

Even that Tier Six was intercepted by a believer of the same Tier Six, the two locked in a fierce battle in the distant sky.

Clearly, these Abnormal Objects had been in their hands all along, and that Tier Six believer had been here from the start; they’d just been hiding until now.

Even if 4th Rank fighters using Abnormal Objects couldn’t match real Fifth Tiers, sheer numbers were enough to overwhelm their Fifth Tier Transcendents.

"We can’t stay here any longer. If we keep this up, we might really never get out."

He glanced sideways at the faint bursts of Magic Power on the distant horizon and made up his mind.

"Retreat! Immediately exit the planet’s atmosphere, and jump away as fast as possible!"

The planet’s quantum communication had been inexplicably sealed off; there was no hope of victory visible on the battlefield, and even in the High-level Battlefield out in space, there were no more energy fluctuations of combat.

And judging by the energy readings before they vanished...

As much as he hated to believe it, their reinforcements were likely in dire straits...

If he didn’t leave, the news from here wouldn’t even be able to get out!
