In the basement, Neo looked at the scene in front of him and turned his head to look at Puerh in the corner.

He asked, "In the myth of 'The Light of Order,' is there any record of the relationship between the God of Order and the God of Reincarnation?"

Puerh looked surprised and asked, "Are you asking me about the content of 'The Light of Order'? Are you the one infiltrating the Order God Religion, or am I?"

Neo calmly replied, "I've never paid much attention to those things, let alone memorize them."

Puerh swallowed and answered, "There is no separate record of the relationship between the God of Order and the God of Reincarnation in the myth of 'The Light of Order' or in 'The Complete Scroll of Reincarnation.'"

Neo asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I have memorized both of them."

"Oh, no wonder you have such poor ability to handle things. You have spent so much energy on these meaningless things." Puerh said.

Neo crossed his arms and lightly tapped his arm with his fingertips, "That's strange. The God of Order and the God of Reincarnation were very active in the previous era, so why is there no record of their interaction in 'The Light of Order' and 'The Complete Scroll of Reincarnation'?"

Puerh replied, "Because their relationship is not good."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"In 'The Era of Light,' there is a record of an experience between them..."

At this point, Puerh paused.

"Continue," urged Neo.

Puerh confirmed that the powerful light system warrior in front of him had never read 'The Era of Light.'

"In the myth of 'The Era of Light,' there is a record of the following:

The God of Reincarnation built the Gate of Reincarnation and invited the souls of the world to seek a better afterlife.

The God of Order found my master and said that the Gate of Reincarnation would block the light and the extension of order.

My master said, 'The Gate of Reincarnation can reduce the chaos of souls in the world and give the deceased a better destination.'"

Puerh pursed her lips and said, "That's the only record."

"When did this happen?" Neo asked. "I mean, when was this record made?"

"Mid-era of the previous era."

"Oh." Neo nodded. "So, the reason there is no record of the interaction between the two gods in 'The Light of Order' and 'The Complete Scroll of Reincarnation' is because their relationship is not good."

The record in 'The Era of Light' can be interpreted as follows:

Because the God of Reincarnation built the Gate of Reincarnation, the God of Order found the God of Light and told him about the dangers of the Gate of Reincarnation.

Implicitly, the God of Order hoped that the God of Light would agree to fight against the God of Reincarnation.

In the early and middle stages of the previous era, the God of Light was highly respected, and the God of Order, although qualified as a main god, was often guided by the will of the God of Light.

But the God of Light refused.

In many battles of the previous era, the God of Reincarnation either did not participate or, if he did, he mostly sided with the God of Light and the God of Order.

As the leader of this faction, it was normal for the God of Light to not want internal strife within his own camp.

But Neo felt that things were not that simple. If the God of Light protected the God of Reincarnation, could it be for reasons other than maintaining unity within the camp?

"To give the deceased a better destination."

Neo contemplated this sentence.

However, in the latter half of the previous era, the God of Order gradually broke free from the control of the God of Light, and the two gods went from a subordinate relationship to an equal relationship. The God of Order began to declare war on many gods in the name of "order."

It can be said that in this era, many cults became cults because in the late stage of the previous era, the gods they believed in were judged as evil gods by the God of Order.

Since then, the Order God Religion has grown and eventually replaced the defunct Light God Religion, becoming the new dominant force in the religious world. The followers of order naturally cannot overthrow the judgment of their own god, so those cults... can only continue to be cults.

But why did the God of Order spare the God of Reincarnation?

If they really wanted to fight, why didn't the God of Order personally take action against the God of Reincarnation and destroy the Gate of Reincarnation?

Did the God of Order feel that he couldn't defeat the God of Reincarnation?

Neo shook his head. Anyone who had read the records of the previous era's myths would not entertain such thoughts.

Because this was not about 'The Light of Order' glorifying their own god, but rather, almost all the myths of various religions recorded how crazy and terrifying the God of Order was in the late stage of the previous era.

In the records of 'The Light of Order,' not only did it not add to this experience, but it also intentionally toned down and diluted it. Otherwise, it would easily make people feel that their own god had gone mad during that time, affecting the great image of radiance.

The God of Order did not choose to take action against the God of Reincarnation during that time because of what reason?

What secrets did the Gate of Reincarnation hold?

Neo fell into deep thought.

After a while, he sighed with regret because he predicted that the Order God Religion's attack on the God of Reincarnation would at most cripple him, rather than completely annihilating the Reincarnation God Religion. If the Order God Religion was determined to destroy the Reincarnation God Religion, the Knight Order would invade the Reincarnation Valley, and then the secret of the Gate of Reincarnation hidden deep in the Reincarnation Valley might finally be revealed.

What a pity, what a pity.

Neo turned his gaze back to the scene in front of him and began to repeat the words Karun had said to Tarena earlier:

"The existence of the Reincarnation God Religion has disrupted the order that should exist between life and death... the order."

...

Three souls bound by white chains gradually calmed down, but their "emotions" began to transmit to Karun's heart through the white chains, and fragmented memories began to appear in Karun's mind.

Karun's eyes reddened slightly, but he forcibly suppressed the dizziness in his mind. He didn't try to read these fragments of memories because it would require too much energy. He didn't want to faint just to "snoop on someone's diary."

However, Karun could clearly sense the anger and hatred of the three souls towards Tarena.

Although the Reincarnation God Religion had the ability to form a reincarnation contract with souls, allowing them to possess and fight for them, the Reincarnation God Religion could never form a legion of reincarnators like the First Knight Order of the Order God Religion.

The souls selected to sign the reincarnation contract were undoubtedly exceptional individuals in their previous lives, and such people generally would not willingly accept the treatment of becoming servants after death.

When facing weaker opponents, the reincarnation contract was indeed useful, but if the opponent was stronger... no, even if they were just equal, they would choose to hold back as long as their "master" didn't realize it.

Just like the second female spirit who used magic, the green python had already sensed the threat from behind, but Tarena did not perceive it. So the female spirit deliberately controlled the python not to turn around, indirectly helping Karun to launch a sneak attack.

This feeling was like an army driving a group of slaves to fight. These slaves were waiting for the opportunity to defect.

At this moment, Tarena knelt on the ground, looking extremely painful.

The white chains separated the three souls, which was equivalent to cutting and tearing her soul. Her face was distorted from the pain.

Karun picked up the Sword of Achilles, took a step forward, and walked towards Tarena.

Tarena heard the footsteps and already anticipated what the outcome would be. She managed to overcome the pain and lifted her face, glaring at Karun as he approached.

"What is your name? What is your name!" Tarena shouted, her voice filled with anger.

Karun ignored her and continued walking.

"What is your name? How come you have the courage to kill me but not the courage to tell me your name before killing me?"

"I am... Ranedal."

"Ranedal? Alright, Ranedal. Believe me, you will be found by the great God of Reincarnation, and your existence will not be allowed by reincarnation!

I curse you to endure the torment of eternal reincarnation!

I curse your family to have their souls exposed in the Reincarnation Valley, never finding rest!

I curse your descendants... I curse..."

Karun stopped in his tracks and looked at Tarena. He and this woman had no previous conflicts, and tonight was even their first meeting.

But this was war. In the context of war, it was not kindness but foolishness to try to talk about morality and mercy. All reflections should be made after the war ends and the winners and losers are determined.

Karun stopped walking and raised his head, saying, "I won't kill you."

"I curse your... Huh?" Tarena was stunned. "Really?"

Karun nodded and shouldered the Sword of Achilles again.

Then, Karun closed his eyes.

The white chains all retracted and quickly returned, disappearing into Karun's feet.

"Ah!!!"

'Ah!!!'

"Ah!!!"

The three souls that had been separated from Tarena's soul and lost the white chains let out a desperate and angry roar. They collectively pounced on Tarena, seeking revenge!

"..." Tarena.

The three souls began to invade Tarena's body, competing with her for control. Tarena kept screaming, her body constantly twisting and folding, and various spells kept appearing and bombarding her.

Finally, the screams ended.

Karun slowly opened his eyes. The three souls stood in front of him, and Tarena's lifeless body lay on the ground.

The three souls expressed their gratitude to Karun in their respective religious rituals.

Karun shook his head and did not accept or respond to these rituals because he did not intervene to save them.

In fact, he wanted to give Tarena a quick death, but Tarena's final curse made Karun change his mind.

He turned his head and looked at the photography studio behind him. He could feel that a pair of eyes had been watching him all along. Perhaps, this was the reason Tarena encountered him outside the studio.

Captain, are you observing me?

The three souls began to dissipate and disappeared in an instant. Their existence depended on the life force provided by the gem inside Tarena. Now that they had lost it, they would cease to exist. But this was the liberation they had been pursuing.

Karun bent down and picked up a dark red gem. Now, it felt no different from an ordinary glass bead, and Karun didn't rush to try to infuse it with spiritual power.

"This is the contract gem of the Reincarnation God Religion. The one Tarena had should be a high-quality gem, worth a lot of money."

Neo appeared beside Karun.

Karun handed the gem to the captain and asked, "Should I turn it in?"

"In this mission, it was only you and me in the team, so the spoils will be divided based on our respective rankings in the battle. If you want to keep this gem, I agree."

"How is it used?"

"It is used in conjunction with the Reincarnation God Religion's magic to capture souls from the Gate of Reincarnation and imprison them inside, completing the reincarnation contract."

"It has such severe limitations. Is it worth using?"

"People who can afford it are already rare, and those who can afford it don't need us to worry about whether they can use it."

"Then please take care of it, Captain."

"Alright."

Neo reached out and took the gem. Then he said to Karun, "If you find anything useful among these items, you can choose them."

Karun lowered his head and saw a pile of leather armor, daggers, and boots at the captain's feet. He understood where they had come from. Karun wasn't interested in the leather armor and boots, as they were designed for women and he had no use for them. As for the daggers... Karun picked them up and weighed them. He already had the Sword of Achilles, so these daggers were not very useful.

Even if Yunes used them in the future, he could use the points he had accumulated to buy new ones. It would be uncomfortable for him to let her use someone else's old weapons.

The same applied to Puerh if she could turn back into a human.

"I don't need any of them."

"Alright, I will take care of selling them and give you the points later."

"Thank you, Captain."

"No need to thank me. I haven't done anything." Neo walked to Tarena's body, raised his hand, and said, "Light - Incinerate!"

A flame flew out of Neo's palm and covered Tarena's body, reducing it to ashes.

Karun looked at the captain's back and thought, have you stopped pretending?

However, Karun also understood that this was the captain's response to the light magic he had shown Tarena earlier.

"Captain, what's next? Are we going to continue moon watching?"

"Look up at the sky."

Karun raised his head and looked up, seeing a group of shadows flying overhead.

"The garrison has been mobilized. If the Reincarnation God Religion refuses to surrender in the administrative building, they will launch a strong attack. After dawn, many Order Whip Teams should receive the task of clearing the Reincarnation God Religion's preaching sites and industries in the York City area. Oh, the teams in the entire Vein region will receive similar tasks. But these have nothing to do with our team because tomorrow we will continue to be responsible for the security of the God Child Pamireth."

"So, the moon watching tonight is over?"

"Oh, there's one more thing." Neo pointed to his temple and said, "I've been having some problems with my mind recently."

Karun laughed and said, "I've read a lot of books on psychology before. I can help you with psychological counseling."

Neo asked, "Will it really be helpful?"

"At least, with my level of expertise, I can guarantee that there won't be any negative effects."

"Alright, let's find a café and do psychological therapy while drinking coffee."

"Captain, I have something else to do."

"What is it?"

"Last time, Vani helped me modify that pistol and charged me for the modification."

Neo looked at Karun, and Karun looked at Neo. The two of them faced each other on this dark street.

Finally, Neo took a deep breath and said, "I thought you were going to say that you were joking with me, and then take back what you just said."

"I was just about to take it back, but you spoke first, Captain."

"Alright, if it really works, you don't have to repay me the points you borrowed from me today. Consider it as a treatment fee. The premise is that the treatment must really work."

...

The garrison had arrived in front of the administrative building and completed the encirclement.

The Order Throne was still in effect, and negotiations were underway.

The Order God Religion's condition was simple: either surrender unconditionally or the administrative building would be erased from the city's urban planning map.

The Chief Bishop Sarko inside had already declared that he would give up the use of force, but he needed the official declaration of war to proceed to the next step.

This meant that he was prepared to surrender, but he needed a legitimate surrender to prove that he was a prisoner of war, not a traitor.

This step seemed unnecessary, but it was extremely important to Sarko and the many Reincarnation God Religion officials inside the administrative building. This way, as long as the Reincarnation God Religion still existed after the war, they could return to the Reincarnation God Religion as released prisoners of war.

Aisen sat on the roadside with his injured wife, and in front of them was the administrative building and a group of well-organized garrison troops.

"I didn't expect Richard's teammate to be so powerful," Ke Xi said.

"Yeah," Aisen nodded.

"If he hadn't appeared, would our Richard have become an orphan tonight?" Ke Xi asked.

"He still has his grandfather and his aunt. Even without us, he wouldn't be an orphan."

Ke Xi felt her wound start to ache again, and then she glanced resentfully at her husband. He had actually laid her flat on the ground and didn't put her head on his lap. The cement slab under her head was hurting her, and he didn't even place her head on his leg.

"Aisen, go see a psychologist."

"No need."

"If you don't go, I will officially divorce you and find a stepfather for Richard."

"Okay."

"..." Ke Xi.

At this moment, a giant eagle flew down from the sky and transformed into a black scroll. Delong caught it and walked to the entrance of the administrative building, which was the edge of the enchantment formation.

On the other side, Chief Bishop Sarko of the Reincarnation God Religion's Vein region stood, and behind him were a group of neatly dressed Reincarnation God Religion officials. Everyone was waiting to be captured, only the final step was left.

Delong opened the scroll in front of everyone's eyes.

"In the name of order, the Senate's decree: Due to the existence of the Reincarnation God Religion, which disrupts the order that should exist between life and death, I, the Order God Religion, declare war on the Reincarnation God Religion!"

That's all for today. I'm feeling a bit tired, so I'll take a rest. Take care of yourselves, too.
