Chapter 1865: Chapter 583: Is the Lord of Red Moon a Faithful God?
However, this planet belongs to an advanced civilization and is a strategic goal that the Insect Swarm must capture next; it is crucial to their plans and cannot be abandoned.
"Rest assured, the Lord has granted me even further strength beforehand, and I will complete the ascension ceremony before officially taking action!"
The believer behind him was just a regular believer awaiting observation in the Church, and the hooded believer switched to words meant for ordinary believers.
Of course, the ceremony is superfluous; he received permission long ago and could have ascended directly when he received that artificial abnormality.
Intentionally leaving it until now to publicize the ascension among the believers is a way to maximize benefits and use the ascension to further consolidate the loyalty of the believers.
This is the strategy that many core believers like him choose when ascending.
Upon hearing this, the believer behind him visibly became excited.
"Really? Is there anything we need to prepare?"
"No need, the ceremony has already been prepared in advance; if you’d like to observe, you’re welcome to, but don’t interfere with the mission."
"Yes! I’ll go back to notify them!"
Just as the believer behind him was about to turn away, he paused, turned back, and respectfully offered the tablet in his hands.
"Ah, right, sorry, Lord Bishop, here is the detailed intelligence for this mission."
He gracefully took the tablet and began to review the data, hearing the hurried footsteps gradually fade away behind him. The hooded believer shook his head slightly, and his smile receded.
"The defensive forces on this planet are indeed formidable; it seems I need to call in some old friends, otherwise, with the Insect Swarm still needing to hide, these Tier Six ’cannot’ be defeated.
Heh, who would have thought that His Highness, promised to bring the Church to the stage of the Starry Sky, would make me the first..."
The hooded believer chuckled, removed his robe, revealing a silver gleam from the pendant he wore. As he packed away the robe, he transformed into a normal resident adapted to the local environment.
He stepped onto the street, occasionally reviewing the information, and every now and then, looking up to match it with reality.
"So, this is the observation station... In this age, such a massive starry sky observation station still remains...
It must have been someone’s life’s work...
Unfortunately, with you here, it’s easy to discover the chosen Insect Swarm garrison point, so you’re destined to be sacrificed."
No longer wearing the hood, the believer regretfully glanced at the enormous spherical building not far away, a layer of crimson covering his eyes as he switched to a special perspective granted by the abnormal object within him.
"There are two Tier Six individuals here, and neither is documented.
They must be guards or friends invited by the place’s owner, it’s uncertain when they will leave, hence they must be counted as part of the enemy.
Now, in addition to capturing these few locations...
Having reviewed all the defense data about the planet on the tablet, he returned to the very street corner from earlier, and the hooded believer had already chosen his teammates.
He headed back into the underground fungus blanket passage, and the restored appearance of the hooded believer instructed within the network:
"Help me get in touch, I need..."
Returning to the underground area, the hooded believer followed through with the earlier plan, performing a grand ceremony witnessed by numerous idle believers, before consuming the artificial abnormality to complete the ascension.
After the ceremony concluded, several believers he had summoned had already gathered on this planet through the teleportation gate.
"Hey, boss! That performance just now was really cool!"
"Boss, after ascending, did you feel anything special?"
"..."
Watching them arrive, the hooded believer nodded with a smile, a glint of gratification in his eyes.
These Tier Six believers were all followers he had developed in the past and could be considered old acquaintances.
Of course, he didn’t call them here out of closeness, but because they genuinely possessed strength.
If Vlad is considered the first-generation follower in the Church, then these individuals are fourth-generation, and among them, they stand out as exemplary figures, regarded as senior members of the Church.
They possess numerous extraordinary items or abilities apart from their own abnormal object abilities, surpassing combat power of their peers.
After briefly sharing his feelings about the ascension, the hooded believer shifted his tone, putting away his smile and speaking seriously:
"Alright, we’re all within a network, so there’s no need to catch up now; we’ll do that after the battle.
You’re already aware of the reason I called you, so I’ll start assigning tasks next..."
Several Tier Six believers also put away their casual attitudes, each taking their task and heading to their positions.
Half an hour later, within a city on the planet’s surface
The hooded believer stood in a narrow alley between certain buildings, gazing at a seemingly ordinary large estate.
From the perspective of a regular person, the estate here could be considered luxurious, certainly far from ordinary.
But from a transcendent perspective, this estate is within the reach of regular people, appearing too commonplace compared to the true identity of its owner.
"How could a high-tier transcendent reside in such a place...
Clearly possessing considerable strength, yet completely devoid of ambition to progress."
Other high-tier individuals with the ambition to further grow inevitably build some kind of power, at least establishing a well-equipped base to provide an environment for their practice or research.
A flicker of envy passed through the eyes of the hooded believer; he originally became a Red Moon believer because he envied these transcendent beings?
