Chapter 476: The King Of Angels

“Watson can absorb faith and bestow powerful strength on others, is that correct?”

After hearing the bishop’s words, the two priests, who had thought Watson was exaggerating, exchanged glances. They still did not believe Watson possessed the ability to replace the seven gods. However, they were hesitant after seeing the bishop’s body exude a power that was clearly beyond their comprehension. One of them clenched his teeth and knelt on the ground, beginning to pray.

“I am willing to put my faith in Watson—”

Following his prayer, a layer of platinum-tier powerful aura appeared on his body. A blazing flame domain appeared beneath his body with a casual movement of his hand, “Fire-elemental laws. Only platinum-tier elites can wield this power. You should know that even though I have mastered platinum-tier moves, I am only at silver-tier.”

“Oh my goodness, it turns out that worshiping Watson can actually grant us power. Furthermore, that power is far greater than when we worship the gods! Tell the other priests about it right away, so they do not have to leave.”

Even though their tiers had not improved, the two priests felt that the power in their bodies had increased significantly. They rushed out of the church, ecstatic.

Similar incidents occurred throughout the capital and gradually spread to other cities in the surrounding area.

Watson, the mastermind behind it all, was standing atop a bell tower in the capital, looking down. That bell tower was one of the tallest structures in the capital. The guards usually sounded the capital’s alarm there.

Watson squinted his eyes comfortably as he looked down. A thick layer of faith-filled light covered his body, and the aura of faith grew denser and denser. Standing on top of the clock tower, it felt like he was amid the high and mighty divine kingdom.

Initially, Watson’s strength had increased by leaps and bounds due to his understanding of the sovereign tier as he rose to the peak of the diamond tier. However, with the absorption of faith, his strength was still improving. After it was issued, the people of the various churches attempted to follow the order to replace the gods. The number of people who believed in him increased dramatically.

The source of chaos elemental magic contained in his soul had tens of thousands more souls at the time. The figure was still growing at an exponential rate. The Holy Dragon Kingdom was home to tens of millions of people, including millions of priests. If the speed were fast enough, it would only take a few days for those priests to believe in him, allowing him to gain the trust of millions.

It would not be difficult to raise Watson’s strength to the starlight-tier if he could use a few years to let the people of the Holy Dragon Kingdom become accustomed to that matter and make all the people believe in him as time passed. After all, even if he were a starlight-tier elite, gaining the trust of tens of millions of people would be extremely difficult.

Watson focused his attention on Nia, who had followed him there but had never spoken. Watson felt his body’s strength gradually improving and his mind becoming clearer.

“What do you think of the scenery here, Nia?”

“It is very high and open.”

“Yes, it is extremely high here. Only from a high vantage point can one see further! A qualified leader must always be in a position of authority and control the overall situation. Only then will he be able to avoid making mistakes. That was my realization after defeating King Landhar III. In the future, I may face even greater difficulties. I am confident that I will survive whatever challenges I face now.”

Watson inhaled deeply and flew to the fence outside the bell tower. He paced along the fence, hands behind his back. “I would like to ask you a question, Nia. Which race were you before you reincarnated as a human? What happened to your race chess piece?”

Nia, as a god-king, must have understood the race chess piece. Baldur had previously implanted a race chess piece into his body. Nia must have had a solution if she had fully grasped the situation, but she remained silent. That puzzled him, and he wanted to know what was going on.

“In the past, I was in charge of the angel race. I have already used up my race chess piece to reincarnate as a human. I am afraid I have now abandoned it somewhere in the deity realm,” Nia said.

One must pay a high price to enter the mortal world from the deity world. Even if she had the strength of a god-king, entering that world back then had used up a layer of her skin.

“So you were in charge of the angel race? Why do you want to become a human?”

Angels possessed more significant power than humans. Nia did not reincarnate into a stronger race. Instead, she chose to be born as one of the weak humans. That did not make any sense.

“Before I became god-king, I was just a regular human. I was able to become an angel thanks to a god from the angel race. Unfortunately, after becoming one of the angels, I failed to fulfill my role as King of Angels. As a result, the angel race was annihilated. I could not choose to be an angel, so I had to settle for a human who resembled an angel! Another reason for me to become a human is that I would have the ability to slow the angel race’s molecules law. That ability can freeze everything, and it is very compatible with humans’ molecular acceleration. That is why I aspire to be a human.”

Nia lowered her head respectfully and remained silent. She stole a glance at Watson after saying that. “Master, are you unhappy with my methods?”

“No, I am overjoyed. Nia, it turns out you are not just a sovereign-tier elite but also the King of Angels. That is even more potent than I anticipated. Previously, I used the potion to summon a slew of angels to Mount Creation. The existence of the angels demonstrates that the angel’s race chess pieces have not been completely destroyed. After I reach starlight-tier and enter the divine realm, I will assist you in locating the race chess pieces and fuse them into a complete chess piece, allowing you to reclaim your position as the King of Angels,” Watson exclaimed with glee.

He had only known that Nia was more powerful than him or anyone else in the world. He did not expect Nia’s background to exceed his expectations. She was the King of Angels. He was ecstatic just thinking about it.

He would not be afraid of being bullied after entering the deity world if Nia could regain her original strength. Watson had a grand scheme in his heart. There was one reason Nia had overlooked. The reason he chose her had a lot to do with the system he was using. The fusion system was a more advanced existence than the regular chess pieces. The fusion system revealed that he could fuse with the race chess pieces. If Watson ever reaches the sovereign tier, he would be able to plunder the energy of other races via the fusion system, making him the leader of those races.

If Nia had not told him, Watson would never have brought it up on his own. It would be enough for him if Nia just stayed by his side.

“Nia, I would like you to accompany me to a location.”

He would have to take one step at a time. Watson needed to start accumulating little by little if he wanted to achieve the grand goal in his plan. Then he had to take the first step into the future.

“Yes, Master.”

Watson and Nia transformed into two streaks of light and flew toward the capital. The Abedor family, the capital’s largest potion-making manufacturing clan, was located in that direction.

…

At the Abedor family…

“The Blessings of the Gods and Demons is too difficult to make. I have the raw materials His Majesty gave me, but I have tried nearly a thousand times and still have not succeeded! This should be the final time. I am hoping it goes well.”

Rose stood in front of her laboratory, clutching a small bottle of emerald-green water from the Spring of Life. She appeared tense.

Balls of various colors were arranged on the table in front of her. Some were black, white, and gray, while others were round or square. They appeared strange, but none of them were the successful Blessings of the Gods and Demons.

“Relax, Rose. Potion-making is a trial-and-error process, and practice makes perfect! There are hundreds of complicated potions in that platinum-tier formula, and the order and dosage of each drug are different. Under these conditions, any minor error will render the potion ineffective. That is perfectly normal.”

Stella, Rose’s sister, crossed her arms and stood behind her to cheer her up. Their family’s patriarch was also present in the laboratory, looking nervous. “Do not worry, Rose. If we fail again, I will request more raw materials for the potion from His Majesty! I’m sure he will give us as much water from the Spring of Life that we need.”

“Father, please stop talking. Aren’t you putting even more pressure on your sister?”

Rose began a new attempt while Stella was complaining. She took the water from the Spring of Life and quickly pressed the herbs in the proportions specified in the formula. The juice was squeezed out and mixed to turn the potion into a black liquid. The potion then fused with the water, resulting in a black liquid.

The two different liquids were mixed together. Then, the two liquids were separated by a clear line and divided into two halves. Rose’s forehead began to sweat as a result of that. What she was doing then was only the first step in the process of creating the potion. She had to repeat the process, mixing thousands of drops of similar elixirs. Then, she would let the potions dry naturally.

Even if she repeated the task a hundred times, it might not be completed. While Rose was working, the voices of Stella and the head of the Abedor family gradually faded, and the air became solemn.

After about an hour, thousands of drops of black and white liquid appeared in front of the Rose, forming pearls, and she held a handful of powder in her hand. That powder was the fossilized remains of an ancient race known as the Hell Baron. She had to toss those fragments into the potion without destroying its shape. She had failed numerous times before that.

“I have to succeed this time!”

Rose Weiser sprinkled the Hell Baron’s fossils into the black and white liquid while praying in her heart. The crystal clear liquid became turbid and began to move in an irregular pattern as if it contained activity. Thousands of water drops joined to form a round black-and-white ball. It was illuminated by a simple and uncomplicated light.

“It’s a success!”

Rose stood up when the black-and-white ball appeared.

“It’s a success!”

“Wait a minute, let me check.”

Behind Rose, Stella, and the head of the Abedor family, a slender arm snatched the Blessings of the Gods and Demons from the table.

The three people were taken aback. When they turned around, they saw that the owner of the slender arm was a lovely young lady dressed in a long black gown. She hesitated a little before swallowing the Blessings of the Gods and Demons.

“No!”

When the head of the Abedor family saw that, he nearly collapsed. The Blessings of the Gods and Demons had the potential to grant people eternal life. He was already quite old, and his body had suffered as a result of dealing with potions all year. He desperately needed that potion. That was also why he urged Rose to accept it. He had tried thousands of times before succeeding, but the potion had been stolen by someone else. That nearly made him cry.
