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

Demigod Rada furrowed his brow. Seeing this undying old man daring to compete with him for followers, his anger was uncontrollable. Immediately, he raised the offer, "Join the Star Cult, and get a monthly haircut card!"

"Heh," Bram Demigod, shrouded in mystery, continued to improve the benefits, "Unlimited seafood buffet every day!"

Watching these two bishops compete for followers, stacking up all sorts of strange benefits, Elf felt the same as if neighborhood aunties and uncles were coaxing people into the residents' committee, thinking it quite disgraceful for the esoteric religion.

Not the slightest dignity of a demigod.

No wonder the Chaotic Hierarchical Cult didn't bother with these two sects.

With a cold sneer, Elf looked at An Su with interest. The hierarchy she led in her cult wouldn't stoop so low—

The Chaotic Saintess planned to give away a "Radiance Set of 28" exam papers, with a set of "Hengshui Radiance Holy Academy Scrolls" included as a bonus.

Very dignified indeed...Elf thought to herself.

An Su was still unaware of these important figures' thoughts, as he was now immersing himself in his new body.

He had indeed not expected to achieve the realm of 'stare and daze.'

Just by shifting his gaze around, any believer caught by his sight felt dizzy, their eyelids drooping in pain. This New Century Radiance Warrior form was quite interesting.

[New Century Radiance Warrior]

[Effect: Legendary Magic Radiance Transformation Skill in Radiant form, lasting for five minutes. In this form, whoever meets the Magician's gaze, the knowledge in the Magician's mind will be projected into the enemy's soul in a radiant form, making a damage judgment]

[If the concepts of knowledge are incomprehensible and the soul's rank is lower than the caster's, the spirit will be temporarily damaged, with a probability judgment occurring every minute. If the judgment succeeds, it will reduce the enemy's casting speed by ten percent, and their casting success rate by five percent.]

[If the gap is too wide, the enemy's soul will directly undergo irreversible deformation.]

[Note: Not audible, not visible, not perceivable]

What a brutal appraisal skill...An Su mused to himself.

Anyone less intelligent than him would be turned into an idiot!

In a way, this combined magic allowed An Su's two advantages to be fully utilized.

His rank wasn't high, only Third Order, but the strength of his soul, due to innumerable sacrifices, had reached the level of a Fifth Tier saint.

Next, he was a former medical student from another world, with lots of high-rank knowledge not from this world in his mind.

With all these buffs stacked together, in this form, anyone below Fifth Tier would be affected.

With a judgment every minute, a total of five judgments—if all five succeed, the enemy's casting speed would decrease by fifty percent, and purely from a probability standpoint, one out of every four casts would fail outright, a truly terrifying effect.

And this was a group judgment.

Most importantly, if the gap in soul rank is too wide, the observer's soul would mutate into a monster.

An Su looked at the five cultists below who had already mutated. They could no longer be called human, just a mass of consciousness that attacked indiscriminately—a happy lot after experiencing the Radiance.

An Su found he could control their behavior through his senses.

Even though they could no longer use complex magic, just with the strength of their bodies, they matched up to an average warrior.

With this magic combination, An Su could easily handle any enemy below a saint.

One could say that apart from the huge amount of magic power consumed, fifteen magic power points, this combination had almost no drawbacks.

As for the teammates who also had to suffer a cruel torture...

An Su was an egalitarian and caring saint. No matter friend or foe, he wouldn't distinguish.

Moreover, it had great potential for improvement. An Su continued to sacrifice a massive number of cultists, his soul kept advancing, reaching above Fifth Tier, then even saints couldn't escape his intelligence check.

So, in pursuit of a great ideal to spread the Radiance equally in this world, to let everyone be free of worries, of disunity and strife, and to welcome a new century in harmony and love, An Su needed to intensify the sacrifices!

After reaffirming the grand ideals at the bottom of his heart, An Su's eyes grew more determined, and the radiation in his gaze intensified as well.

He now had ten magic power points left.

One Radiant Illumination Skill consumes five magic power points.

Why not absorb two more and see if the effect would be even better?

As a rogue player, An Su had a spirit of experimentation. With two minutes left in his transformation, he decided to try more, embodying the spirit of 'since I'm here, might as well.' In the past three minutes, after enduring three intelligence checks, the chaotic geniuses felt dizzy and confused. But geniuses are geniuses after all, and they gradually adapted to the painful rhythm. Just as they were about to see the light at the end of the tunnel, they saw An Su ponder for a moment, raise his hand,

"Praise the Radiance!"

Yet another casting of the legendary magic "Radiant Illumination Skill".

"You have drawn the intense gaze of the Mother Goddess of Life."

Isn't that you, kid?

The genius cultists looked as uncomfortable as if they had eaten something disagreeable, the Chaotic Staircase is simply madness!

Nobody has ever seen such an insane lunatic!

"Quick, stop him!"

But again, the blasphemous radiance converged, forming a stream of light that shot toward An Su's spiritual body, the Radiance Warrior's form becoming even more twisted and indescribable, greedily absorbing the light, growing taller with each burst, threatening to collapse the entire stronghold's dome.

The radiance became even more distorted.

The genius cultists' heads throbbed more painfully, as if previously their souls were exposed to radiation of knowledge, and now it felt like a surge of knowledge blasting into their souls!

"Aminos"

"Aminos..."

However, An Su felt his soul more in tune with the Light, and aside from his giant stature growing another two to three meters, and the speed of knowledge transfer accelerating, there were no substantial improvements; the returns did not match the investment.

Let's try if a change in quantity could trigger a transformation in quality.

His lips curved in a serene smile, yet reflected on the face of this ancient god, it was a sacrilegious and twisted laugh of delight, like a demon god standing at the end of the Chaotic Stairway, evoking admiration from the Chaotic Saintess nearby, who thought him quite handsome indeed.

Only the last minute of transformation time is left.

With only five magic power points remaining, let's launch one last time!

The crowd had yet to recover from the suddenly accelerated teaching pace as they watched the Chaotic Staircase once more become bright with divine light, shouting, "Praise the Radiance!"

The genius cultists once again felt the gap between human souls, they felt dizzy just looking at this radiance from a distance, wondering why the Chaotic Staircase bastard could directly absorb it into his soul, and manage to do so three times in a row!

What they didn't know was that the so-called Radiance was in fact the Holy Light distorted by Magic God Merlin.

In this world, it possesses both blasphemous and sacred attributes, belonging to both darkness and light, a perfect match for An Su's Light and Dark Priest Sect.

He is a saint, yet his constitution is the rare Child of the Curse, with a soul that also possesses the attributes of both blasphemy and holiness.

Thus, only An Su could use this combination of magic.

Similarly, the dual-natured Radiance would temporarily make An Su's soul even more distorted.

It deepened the flavor of light while adding a hint of dark essence, which made An Su's soul seem even more enticing under the Radiance to the spiritual body's eye of the Holy Maiden whose life was bound to the soul.

It was like a microwave heating up the dish that was An Su, the hotter it became, the further the aroma wafted.

So, when all three applications of "Radiant Illumination Skill" had entered An Su's spiritual body, the change in quantity indeed led to a mutation.

The enhancement of the Radiance Warrior had reached its peak and would not go any further.

It was this very space that began to show signs of mutation.

It was collapsing continuously.

Everyone was unaware of what was happening as the whole stronghold shook.

The warm fireplace cracked open, with embers scattering like fluttering butterflies in the night sky, the floor began to fissure, the cracks growing wider, marble columns were ripped out from their bases, and the walls slowly disappeared into thin air, the source of all cracks stemming from the very space itself.

It was not the fireplace that had cracked, not the walls that had cracked, but the space itself had cracked.

Everyone realized that the Chaotic Stronghold was fracturing, like an egg being smashed open.

"Look at the sky..." a cultist exclaimed in shock.

"What is that?"

"My God..."

All eyes turned skyward to see the night's fabric torn asunder, revealing a crimson red moon within the fissures of heaven and earth,

like an eye watching them.

[You have intensely attracted the watchful eye of the Mother Goddess of Life!]
