Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 580: Chapter 0580: Revenge (Additional 3400, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Federated calendar 290, January 23rd.

White Eagle Federation, Boji City.

In a corner café, Su Lu, wearing a black leather coat, is savoring his coffee and cream bread while listening to soothing music.

A newspaper is spread out on the white table before him.

On top of the first page is a huge bold headline — Civil War!

“This paper reports that the current ruling emperor of the Chris Empire, Antonio Caesar, has died, and the second prince, Craig Caesar, has ascended the throne. However, the churches of knowledge, earth, flame, storm, and ocean refuse to recognize the emperor’s legality and sacredness. The new emperor has disbanded the noble parliament. With the support of the Church of the God of Flames, the Holsen province was the first one to raise the banner of rebellion, leading to a civil war within the empire!”

“In addition… the ‘Transcendent Disaster’ which occurred in Sacreid at the beginning of this month resulted in over 30,000 deaths… The Chris Empire’s official stance is still denial.”

Su Lu glanced out of the window.

The recently installed gaslights illuminated the streets, and the roads were filled with joyful people, clearly delighted in the misfortune of others.

Although the White Eagle Federation and the Chris Empire are of common origin, watching their old adversary fall into such a sorry state, no matter how subtly the upper echelons felt about this, the common people were quite jubilant.

After all, it’s obvious to anyone with eyes to see that with the fragmentation and civil war of the Chris Empire, control over overseas colonies will crumble. By then, other than the White Eagle Federation, which other nation could inherit the crown from the hand of the Chris Empire?

Su Lu finished the last of his coffee and left two banknotes under the cup, put on his hat, and disappeared into the night.

The Eleventh Bureau, Branch Office.

Su Lu walked into the main hall through the front door with his hands in his coat pockets.

No one paid attention to him as he passed through the many security checks to reach the key archives room.

“Execution list for this month.”

“Wanted notice.”

“Dangerous goods inspection report…”

“The Abyss Verses incident…”

He casually looks through it and surprisingly saw a picture of Sean posing confidently.

This guy had already become a Fifth-Level Professional, but he didn’t participate in this Federation operation. He is really lucky.

Su Lu suspected that this guy was not only plagued by misfortune, but also has a knack for spreading his bad luck to others… After all, the losses of the Federation’s guardians and the church’s high-ranking officials in this incident were severe.

He opened the file that documented the Abyss Verses incident.

The first thing he saw was a few grisly photos of the dead.

“…The target had once heard a poem describing the abyss… suspected of being a curse meme!”

“All members of the appraisal team were wiped out, raising the terror level yet again…”

“Recommendation: Seal and handle all related personnel.”

“Found key item – Sheepskin Scroll, handed over to the Church headquarters for handling… Secret Keeper: Theology Department Director — Alfred!”

In the file, the entire course of the incident was recorded clearly.

And Su Lu, after glancing at the photo of the parchment, found that it indeed resembled the half-Divine Artifact he owned.

“Another power from the Abyss? Considering the one in Shewinado’s hand, the power that the Demon has injected into this world is quite astonishing. Has It dumped all the verses into this world?”

Su Lu doubted this possibility.

Immediately afterwards, he performed a Spirit World Traversal and completely left the place.

…

White Eagle City.

Church of Light Headquarters.

“Finally… I’ve come here!”

Looking at the majestic architecture of the church, Su Lu couldn’t help but sigh.

For a local prodigy like him, trying to surpass the shackles of the church is exceedingly difficult.

He wasn’t considered a local professional, and he had been cheating his way up.

No matter what, he now had the power to retaliate against the church!

“This time I came to the White Eagle Federation, preparing to settle everything for good…”

Su Lu stepped into the void.

The next time he appeared, he was in a modest office.

On the door outside the office, there was a nameplate – ‘Theology Department, Bishop’s office’!

Behind the office desk was a robed old man, holding a magnifying glass, studying a file on the table.

After the massive losses from the last incident, he, as a survivor, had to shoulder even more responsibilities.

After an unknown amount of time, he rubbed his temples, looked up, and saw Su Lu. A look of surprise appeared on his face: “Su Lu! Su Lu Pottery?!”

He was the one who ordered the elimination of ‘Su Lu’, and had complete files and information prepared, which naturally included photos.

Last time when they met in Sacreid, Su Lu was wearing a ‘substitute’, and he couldn’t recognize that ‘Gregory’ from back then was Su Lu Pottery now!

“Alfred… Good, it seems you didn’t die in the Abyss. It would have disappointed me…”

Su Lu was very content with this. After all, it felt better when it comes to revenge to do it himself.

“You dare to appear here? A power of the Spirit World Traversal?”

Alfred didn’t panic; instead, he crossed his arms: “You’re pretty bold, but it’s astonishing how foolish you are to provoke the church recklessly. The church has dealt with many myth-level professionals.”

He assumed that Su Lu was still a Sixth-Level Professional.

Even if his head were to be blasted open, he couldn’t possibly imagine the speed of Su Lu’s progress!

“I shouldn’t be wasting words with you…”

Looking at Alfred, a bored expression appeared on Su Lu’s face: “What’s there to talk about with a rabid dog?”

“Rabid dog?!”

Alfred stood up and the pendant on him radiated a bright light.

At the same time, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

“Surprised? How is it that even though you’re in your headquarters and you exposed your breath, calling for help in silence, you received no response whatsoever?” Su Lu clapped his hands, “What led you to think you’re still in the headquarters?”

Under Alfred’s terrified gaze, everything inside the office rapidly faded into grayscale, reverting to black and white, like an old photograph.

Furthermore, many statues and pieces of furniture cracked, revealing countless sharp teeth and blood-red tentacles that sprouted from within and spread internally in spiral patterns, slowly wriggling towards him.

“No…It’s impossible…How could a Sixth-Level Professional accomplish this?”

Alfred let out a horrified scream, pointing at Su Lu.

All of a sudden, he saw Su Lu’s true ‘form’.

The colorful rainbow burst in front of him, causing his eyeballs to explode into bloody holes.

“No…It’s impossible…”

He fell to the ground, screaming in disbelief: “How could you…already be a god?”

Only a god could be this horrifying, just one look would cause him this much damage!
