The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

[Respected Major Angelo Xivier]

[Since ancient times, I, An Su Moningsta, have been the most loyal follower of the Painful Mother Goddess]

Last night, Angelo received a telegram from the Chaotic Frontier of Farol.

Only a few people knew about this telegram's route.

He furrowed his brow slightly, his eyes which were half-closed now suddenly widened, revealing a sharp eagle-like gaze.

"Major, may I ask what this telegram is about?" asked the aide-de-camp.

"Just an ordinary undercover operative," Angelo replied.

Angelo spread out the telegram, reading it word by word, and responded nonchalantly, "A student I used to teach at the Painful Training School."

"Sending him to Farol was merely for him to learn some advanced knowledge there and, by the way, to act as an undercover agent."

The aide-de-camp thought that the mission was by no means simple; the situation in the Chaotic Frontier of Farol was much more hellish than at the Painful Training School, and newly graduated students were far from capable for the job.

At least a Fourth Order legion commander with strict military undercover training was needed.

Could a student from a lower tier school like the Painful Training School really accept such a terrifying mission—The aide-de-camp was skeptical,

The young man either had offended the Major or indeed possessed some talent.

Or perhaps both.

Major Angelo believed the youth had talent while also wishing to get rid of him.

But even with talent, that was all there was to it; he surely couldn't compare to Major Angelo.

Angelo himself was at the very peak of the Fourth Order; after his promotion, he was already half a step into the realm of Saints and could even attempt to reach the rank of Painful General in the future.

"What does the telegram say?" the aide-de-camp asked admiringly, looking at Angelo, "What news has the undercover operative sent?"

"Farol is about to descend into great chaos," said Angelo, his slender eyes shimmering with a sharp light, "The Sanctuary of Chaos and Life Ecclesia have started fighting within the city."

The recent turmoil in the Chaotic Frontier had reached their ears even at the Painful Esoteric Sect; if there was now a war with the Life Ecclesia, the entire city could potentially be annihilated.

Nobody knew whose divine hand was behind this series of unrest.

"Is the information from An Su reliable?" the aide-de-camp inquired.

Angelo massaged the bridge of his nose. As for An Su, he had never trusted him.

After all, he was inherently material for the Mixed Cult; could anyone from the Mixed Cult be trustworthy?

To control An Su, one must learn the methods.

This time, by placing him in Farol and assigning him such a difficult task, there were two objectives to achieve.

One was to continue testing him and establish dominance, to let An Su understand that no matter how many tricks he had, the power over life and death rested in Angelo's hands, and he should not overstep his boundaries.

The second was for him to learn some advanced skills in Farol, so he could better manage the Painful Training School upon his return.

If An Su died along the way, it would save Angelo some worries.

"The intelligence should be correct; An Su has no need to deceive us, and he cannot fool us,"

Angelo said, "War between the Life Ecclesia and Sanctuary of Chaos is a significant event; it'll be in the newspapers tomorrow—he wouldn't dare deceive us."

The consequences of fooling the Major were not something An Su, a mere Training School legion commander, could endure.

"Now that we have received this message in advance, we should start preparing."

Angelo's eyes twinkled with a dark and excited gleam, "Prepare to reap the benefits of a fisherman watching two others fight."

He had a premonition that he would take complete control over the Chaotic Frontier!

This military achievement will belong to him!

"Notify the soldiers, march toward Farol!"

The rain drizzled relentlessly.

Angelo donned his skull cap, draped a large cloak over his shoulders, and walked in the direction of Farol. Behind him, the soldiers clad in dark black military uniforms marched in unison, their high boots splashing in puddles, creating ripple after ripple.

Their encampment was hundreds of kilometers away from Farol; even with marching through the night, they would only arrive by the next afternoon.

The battle must not fail; Angelo's face was expressionless.

He knew that after this night, all the soldiers behind him, including his aide-de-camp, would die in battle.

But it didn't matter as long as he survived.

As long as he could take Farol.

The Painful Esoteric Sect was never short on soldiers.

Unexpectedly, An Su, the little undercover operative, could still be of use,

After he achieved his great success and fame, he would deal with him later.

The following day, at noon

[Queen District support rate 10%, 20%, 30%... 100%]

[Radiance District support rate 10%... 100%]

[The current overall support rate is 35%]

The surviving followers of Chaos went completely mad.

They had never witnessed such grand chaos!

So many blocks had been destroyed!

Communication with the outside world had been completely cut off.

Whether it was the magical network or newspapers, all had collapsed.

Nobody could leave Farol alive.

Rebellious citizens stormed the Municipal Building, countless splendid buildings were knocked down by them, high-ranking demons and dragonfolk battled in the sky, and the torn bodies of bipedal winged dragons crashed squarely into the central square;

The Life Esoteric Church sacrificed one block after another, specifically targeting the noble districts, and one noble after another became dinner for the Mother Goddess of Life.

Many legislators and politicians sought to compete with An Su for the position of Mayor, but all were sacrificed.

At 3 PM.

[The current overall support rate is 40%]

All Chaos followers knew that Farol was doomed; nearly half the districts had been completely destroyed, and the remaining half was also on the brink of chaos.

The city administration officers had already seen too much bloodshed, no longer distinguishing between different faiths, and began to mass slaughter all citizens indiscriminately!

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

[Fifty percent]

Three more streets had been destroyed.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

[Seventy percent]

The rebelling citizens had been completely wiped out, and correspondingly, the staff of the City Administration Bureau were also greatly reduced. The victory was gradually leaning towards the Life Esoteric Church.

The Life Esoteric Church was the crutch that allowed An Su to become the mayor, but it was also the last obstacle.

Becuase if the followers of the Life Ecclesia took over the city, his position as mayor would only be temporary. The ownership of Farol would still have to be forfeited to the Life Ecclesia.

By then, once the higher-ups of the Life Ecclesia's headquarters conducted a check and found that there was no one by the name of Kavensis, An Su would be finished.

Farol cannot belong to any church, it cannot be controlled by any deity or faith.

It must break away!

Therefore, last night An Su sent that telegram to Angelo.

A cold smile crept on his lips, let the chaos reach its climax then!

It had brought in the last of the contending forces!

Tonight, there would be a battle of chaos among the three spiritual orders!

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

Angelo arrived in Farol.

He too had heard the news, An Su, this little fellow, had scrambled to a decent position.

But the entire frontier had already collapsed, all routes of communication, the magic web too had crumbled, and messages were being conveyed by word of mouth.

Angelo took it as but hearsay,

How high could a newly graduated cultist have climbed?

He was busy preparing to go to war with the Life Ecclesia.

[Overall support rate seventy-five percent]

The Municipal Building.

The moonlight tonight was blood-red, sweeping across the streets turned to ruins, casting the city in a blood-red hue. The carnage between the Life Ecclesia and the Painful Esoteric Sect had reached its zenith, both sides wrestled for ownership of the city.

The remaining city administration officers were resisting to the death.

Leaving behind one corpse after another.

The High Priest of Life watched his enemies intently, the man was frighteningly strong.

Worthy of being the Painful Court's major.

No one could have imagined that such a force would emerge at the end of the war.

He, an old man who was close to death, had already been stabbed through the heart, his life force draining away; on the other hand, the opposing major, though not in a good state—with an arm severed and having lost much blood—was still alive.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

"For the sake of Lord Kavensis, serve this city up on the Mother Goddess's dining table!"

The followers of the Life Ecclesia, shouting their fanatic slogans, perished alongside the vast majority of soldiers from the Painful Esoteric Sect.

Who exactly Kavensis was... Angelo had never heard the name.

Probably a chosen one of the Life Ecclesia. Stay tuned with empire

Losing too much blood, his thoughts were becoming blurry.

Soldiers of the Painful Esoteric Sect were decimated, one in ten survived,

No matter what, the battle was ultimately his victory.

Just take over the Municipal Building and the city's rights of ownership would be his.

Once he returned, he would be able to use this meritorious service to be promoted directly to colonel.

No one was left to stop him.

Angelo secretly thought, growing more elated by the moment.

Suddenly, the surroundings became terrifyingly silent,

and then came the sound of light footsteps.

Under the full glory of the red moon, the youth walked slowly through the long corridor of the Municipal Building, stepping in the blood-hued moonlight.

[Overall support rate eighty percent]

[Final hidden position: Mayor of Farol, examination passed]

[Please expel the foreign invaders]

An Su locked eyes with Angelo. In the second-order world of Seden Town, he was no match for the captain of the Painful Soldiers and had to use a suicidal heretical method to pass through Seden Town.

But today, in the fourth-order Farol, they met again.

And An Su was no longer the An Su of the past... mainly because he brought thugs along.

The chaos of tonight was finally coming to an end.

It was the conclusion of both him and Angelo, and of the city itself.

"Officer Angelo Xivier, long time no see."

The youth showed a serene smile, adjusting the military cap decorated with starry patterns. Enya draped a snow-white cloak over the youth's shoulders, the blood moon casting his shadow long and ominously.

"An Su Moningsta, reporting to you," An Su said.

The remaining breath of the believers of the Life, respectfully calling him 'Lord Kavensis', those city administration officers who were barely alive referred to him as 'Minister Ansu',

and the rest of the lower-class citizens were all fervently chanting An Su's name:

"An Su Moningsta!"

"An Su Moningsta!"

"Your faithful Farol awaits your arrival!!"
