Chapter 206: One hundred and fifty-two: Surprise (3)
Money in hand, task at hand; transactions are always pleasant. Considering the sinister nature of today’s business, Malin uncharacteristically lowered his price to a flat rate of 3500 to seal the deal.
Although Shelton of the House of Brice was somewhat puzzled, he was at least not the kind of bastard to pass up a good deal, and he gladly accepted Malin’s reduction in fee.
Logan was a bit confused, but considering that Malin had essentially pulled him back from hell this time, he said nothing—of course, Logan also thought that lowering the price was a business strategy, after all, 3500 and 5000 are fundamentally different concepts.
The assistant priest of the Church of Justice had already sent people to deal with the summoning site before the healing was complete. They had it locked down tight, wanting to confirm just what it was that had breached the dimension—the horned Chaos that appeared had exceeded any known Chaotic Evil Gods, and none of the princes or champions within the small traders bore such scars.
It might be a minion of a newly emerged Evil God, considering it mentioned a name—’Lord of the End’.
There was no such title amongst the known Evil Gods, so it was almost certain to be a new one. The only question was—this Evil God that had broken through the dimensions, coming from another parallel world, was it a native or an invader?
If it was native, how had it come to be? The Church of Justice would never allow a native Evil God to incubate.
If it was an invader, why hasn’t it surfaced in this timeline? The Church of Justice would exert all its efforts to seal off its existence.
As for timelines, according to the mages’ study, this world has many parallel micro-worlds. Since the first great destruction, a vast number of worlds with completely different trajectories from this world have emerged. Mages call these different timeline worlds parallel universes, just like in the world Malin once belonged to.
Normally, parallel worlds cannot interfere with each other, not even having a window to observe one another. In some timelines, parallel worlds have already been completely destroyed in one of the catastrophes; all life has been extinguished, and such worlds will inevitably slide toward utter destruction, beyond the observation of any being.
