Simon felt his body gradually shrivel up and become lifeless. However, at the same time, his soul rapidly underwent a metamorphosis under the effect of the Conversion ritual, moving steadily toward eternal immortality.

This was the solitude of Death which corresponded to the resurrection of the God King. It was said that all kinds of Lich conversion spells developed by future generations were originally inspired by it.

The light on the dragon-snake devouring pattern gradually dimmed, and the Undead mana that filled the entire tomb gradually thinned. This was even while the Eternal Gift was still constantly channeling a huge amount of magic power from the Astral World.

Massive amounts of mana converged into his ether domain through the ritual, resonating with the mythological prototype of this land of the past.

According to the Holy Spirit Church's theory, this resonated with the profile of the seventh Holy Spirit, the Dead.

Imitation, resonance, similarity, and finally becoming. This was all ceremonial magic.

It was almost over.

Sensing that the King and Rebel ritual was about to be completed, Simon-who was intoxicated by strength-raised his hand and clenched it at the tower guardian who had been floating in midair.

Or rather, the true Blackwater Crown that could command ten million Undead.

Not long ago, he was still a mortal. He couldn't even touch that power.

But now, he could seize that power.

Once he held it tightly in his hand, even the ancestor from a thousand years ago, the King of Blackwater who had once triggered the Rotten Moon Undead Tide that spread across the continent, would only be a pathetic failure in front of him.

He would complete the great undertaking that his ancestor hadn't completed.

However, before that...

Simon slowly lowered his hand and first looked back at the Judge's descendant who was struggling to say goodbye to the faerie before shifting his gaze back to the night sky above the dome.

The phantoms of the three Moon Realm goddesses were already watching him.

All effects have been determined. All causes need to be paid.

The three voices suppressed the roars of countless Undead and reached the depths of Simon's soul. The immense pressure made him kneel even though he had already reached the Divine Realm.

In ancient times, people often called Moon Realm magic 'contract magic' because all powers originating from the Moon Realm were essentially a transaction, and a transaction ultimately needed a price.

20 years ago, he took over the Blackwater Province which had become the royal family's backyard from his weak father as a mortal.

At this moment, he already held the authority of Death and had reached the Divine Realm. He stood at the peak of ruling the new Blackwater Kingdom.

All of this couldn't be done without the generous help of these three Moon Realm goddesses.

Now, it was time for Them to demand a price.

"According to the contract, the new Blackwater Kingdom will have the three goddesses as its only legal faith. Every church of the Holy Spirits Church will be demolished, and every page of scripture will be burned. Every missionary will be expelled," Simon said humbly.

Silence...

"According to the contract, the operation of the Astral Laws in the Blackwater Kingdom will be abolished. The Stranger Lighthouse in Thorn City and the Viper Lighthouse in Blacklight City will be shut down. Moon Realm magic based on the three goddesses will be made public to everyone to spread the gospel of the goddesses."
