Nesis frowned. He realized the beast was getting stronger—well, not stronger, but its defenses were getting more compact. It seed as if its body was becoming denser and evolving.

"How problematic," Nesis sighed. The buff had already finished. "It was fun while this battle lasted, but I'm sorry—I don't have infinite stamina like you," Nesis muttered, activating the second active skill of Heaven Defier: Defying Heaven.

[Defying Heaven (Active): Using this skill grants a 1000% increase in all stats for one minute. (Cooldown: 24 hours)]

"Hah, this feels refreshing. But system, why don't I unlock any divine skills, even if only temporarily?" Nesis asked. Surprisingly, he got a response.

[You haven't chosen your path of godhood.]

"I see. How do I do that?"

[You need to gain at least a thousand believers to obtain information on that.]

"Oh, thanks. But wait—I never knew you could converse with the system," Nesis was shocked by his new discovery. Unknown to him, the system never replied to players, especially for inquiries. Nesis was an exception for reasons unknown.

"Guess I will have to hasten the process of gaining followers," Nesis muttered, facing the beast. "Goodbye," he said, a smile on his face. He swung Heaven's Defier casually at the beast, splitting it in two. The monstrous HP of the beast bottod out instantly.

[Congratulations! You have killed a ??? Level Tainted Demon.]

[Level up!]

"That should do it," Nesis muttered with a smile. Checking the loot in his inventory, he found only rare equipnt and potions. Despite the beast's high stats, the dropped items were of the sa value as those from the weak Cumba. It seed that fighting tainted beasts wasn't profitable—sure, they gave large amounts of EXP, but the loot was subpar.

[Heaven's Defier has triggered the ten percent probability and plundered the stats of the beast.]

"Hahahaha," Nesis couldn't help but laugh, extrely ecstatic. "Guess the battle wasn't pointless after all. I made a killing," he said, super pleased.

"Great god, congratulations, and thank you for saving us once more," the demon orcs and goblins chorused, every single one of them bowing their heads in reverence.

"Of course. Now prepare yourselves—we march to the Kobold mine and subdue them!" Nesis ordered, earning cheers from his believers.

Prince Jason was together with Bishop Kelly, paying him a visit.

"So? Any news on Nesis? My father is getting impatient and has begun secretly supporting my siblings. That old gizzard—even the war isn't stopping his sches," Prince Jason complained.

"I wish he could just die the sa way my brother did. I would be truly indebted to the demons if that happened."

"There has been no news about him. It seems he didn't join any camp—smart enough to remain in the neutral camp."

"Tsk, I knew he would likely choose independence. My job would have been much easier if he had done otherwise. Tsk," Prince Jason complained.

"So, no news of his whereabouts?"

"There is. It's been reported that he was spotted heading toward the demon camp. We believe he might have sneaked through and passed through the rift into the demon realm."

"The demon realm, huh? He is crazy for wanting to go to the realm of those crazies. Not my business, though—I couldn't care less. He's a foreigner; he has plenty of lives to spare. Guess we will have to go with plan B to take him under our control. Condemn him as a blaspher and tainted—his going to the demon realm isn't so bad after all. It will make the narrative more convincing."

"Should we really push him that far? He has two Supres under him that can flatten us as easily as blinking," Bishop Kelly voiced his concern.

"It's fine. The Supres can't interfere with our world unless we disrespect them or offend them ourselves."

"And touching the one they accepted as their patron isn't doing that?"

"Nah, I'm sure they'll be happy we're dealing with the reason for their disgrace. I don't know what sorcery or trick he used to get them under him, but I doubt they'll obey his commands or even care what happens to him. If they did, they should have shown up when he went to the demon realm to talk him out of that suicide mission."

"Very well then. The bla is on you if this doesn't go as planned."

"We label him a tainted—an SSS-class level tainted. I doubt the dragon gods will want to wage war with the priests of the Celestials. That's why the Celestial Temple must get involved. Then, a capture order of the highest level will be issued. He'll be captured, brought to the dungeon, and educated until he pledges allegiance to . After that, his cleansing will be announced—the end. Quite an easy job."

Prince Jason smiled brightly.

"The jobs called 'easy' are usually the ones that cause the biggest headaches," Bishop Kelly stated, unconvinced by the plan. But knowing Prince Jason and his near-perfect strategies, he couldn't help but go along with it.
