The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Komer sorted his thoughts and spoke indifferently, "Maintaining the independence of the Sect is necessary, but if the Great Mysterium Sect wants to take on the task of reviving the Dark Lineage, it must cooperate with secular forces. They must use their power to infiltrate the faith of darkness into every corner of society, making it impossible for them to ever leave your grasp. Only in this way can the Dark Lineage establish the capital to confront the Northern Church of Light. You must remember, these secular rulers are not ordinary citizens; being unassuming and humble will not win you their respect. They need dominance and power, and they will only be truly convinced and make a choice for something that can bring them help. They only worship the strong and powerful. Do you understand?"

With a sudden clarity, Xerob’s face finally showed an indescribable exhilaration and excitement. This was something he had thought of before, but in the South, where countries and city-states had a proliferation of free religious preaching and seemed to have their own guardian deities, the Great Mysterium Sect had always hoped to win the support of the people in these countries and cities through a low-key and peaceful approach. This had indeed had a considerable effect among the middle and lower class people, but reaching this point now, maybe as the Dark Lord said, it was time for a change in strategy.

However, for Xerob, what excited him even more was not only the clarification of the ideas that had been troubling the development of the Great Mysterium Sect, but the proactive attitude that Komer’s words conveyed. This was the real reason for his excitement. The Dark Lord had always been evasive and reluctant to get involved, but this time the momentum he showed was undoubtedly a very clear signal. What exactly stimulated him to undergo such a change? But no matter what the reason was, as long as he was willing to take on the responsibility of leading the Dark Lineage, everything would become wonderfully possible.

"Dark Lord, do you mean we should make some adjustments in preaching and promoting our dark doctrines to adapt to the current development trend?" At this moment, Xerob appeared even more humble, completely in a tone seeking guidance.

Komer laughed, well aware of the other’s intentions. However, after the ordeal with the Court, his own mentality had also changed; evasion and retreat did not seem to be the solution. Although he still did not possess the power to directly challenge the Church of Light, the situation had changed, for this was the South, where the Dark Forces had a natural advantage and foundation. Expanding the influence of the Dark Lineage and gradually making it the true dominant force in the entire South was what he needed to do. Only when that day came, perhaps he could finally feel vindicated.

"Of course, Xerob, not only do we need to adjust our strategy, but the Great Mysterium Sect should also proactively consolidate the power of the Southern Dark Line, shaping the Dark Lineage’s power into a fist. We must also let those secular forces feel the true strength of the Dark Lineage, making them realize that our power can help them solve many of the issues they cannot. Only then can the Dark Lineage truly claim to have gained a firm foothold in the South," Komer said earnestly to the core figure in front of him from the Great Mysterium Sect.

"Look at the Church of Light’s operations in the North. Not to mention Julius, Frenster, Vazinsky, Noyola, Lorenzo, and other significant figures from the Church of Light, but also those bishops and Chief Magicians from the Mage Corps scattered throughout the Northern League Countries and city-states. Which one of them has not influenced these countries and cities, overturning thrones, deposing nobles, swapping territories, shaping religious policies, and interfering in ethnic conflicts? Even the haughty Beastmen are played by the Church of Light, attacking mortals when told, and humbly leaving when asked to withdraw. This is the display of power! With strength and tactics, no one can fare well against them. The day the Dark Lineage can do the same in the South, we might be ready to challenge the Church of Light. But for now, we are still far too distant."
