Chapter 1231: Chapter 269: The Disgraced Husband and the Ashamed Professor Double the Humiliation

This is no exaggeration.

Now that Elemental Power is entirely unleashed, Annan can even transform himself into a stream of light—crossing national boundaries in an instant to reach remote areas.

Other than still not possessing the unique authority of a deity...

Such as the kind of power wielded by grandmother—the whole world, as long as there is snow, is effectively within her reach.

Just like how "Whispered in the Rain" can serve as a vessel for the Soul Snatching Spell.

Those who are directly touched by the rain are considered to be in direct contact with the Soul Reaping Wizard, able to directly suffer the effects of the Soul Snatching Spell.

—But that is rain formed by the condensation of spell effects, not natural rain.

If one’s perception attribute is high enough, it is easy to detect the curses hidden within the rain. Some rituals and spells of the same tier can dispel this unnatural rainfall.

Moreover, the rain has a range—it’s essentially still a form of contact. After all, the rain itself is an extension of the caster’s limbs.

However, for grandmother.

Whether it is snow, hail, cold wind, or frost forming on the windows in winter—as long as it is phenomena that make people feel "cold," they are within grandmother’s reach.

When grandmother is awake, even if she is in the Winter Kingdom, she can directly freeze to death in the biting wind someone disrespectful in the United Kingdom—surrounded by people, as long as it is within the snow, grandmother can make her dragon breath hit only one person.

Those legendary cases, where someone suddenly turns into an ice sculpture while walking, or inexplicably freezes to death in a not-so-cold room despite being well-covered in blankets... It is evident these are disrespectful to grandmother.

Similarly, Silver Baron can sense the nature of every transaction in the world.

As long as the nature of the matter is a "transaction," he can directly gain knowledge of it across time and space. He can even directly terminate any transaction, enforce contracts forcibly, or extract a tax from it—

Yes, in principle, Silver Baron is able to "collect a tax" from every transactional act in the world, regardless of whether or not it is known to others.

Even if it involves hiring assassins, financial fraud, or even conspiring with traitors to usurp the throne—Silver Baron can "have a share."

This is the power of authority exclusive to deities.

"I feel... I should be able to take down the Rotting Husband now,"

Annan clenched his fists, firm and confident in his assertion.

The Rotting Husband is only one-seventh of a god. His mastery over his own powers is also not profound.

The biggest difference between Annan and the Rotting Husband is that he has not yet reached the Otherworld and is still flesh and blood.

It is from the Otherworld that one receives a body that is almost entirely immune, the root of a deity’s transcendent resistance.

"The issue with the Rotting Husband isn’t big,"

After a long deliberation, the Artisan confirmed: "Not considering any other factors, just based on your own capabilities, the possibility of defeating the Rotting Husband has already exceeded sixty percent.

"Heart of Justice as the strongest holy relic has great flexibility. Although I don’t know what power you gained from the holy relic... with it, defeating the Rotting Husband should not be difficult.

"You can consider the Rotting Husband as a gold-tier Wizard and a second-tier Ritualist with a lifespan of three hundred years. His body’s resilience is very high, possessing deity-level exemptions—but that’s all there is to it.

"In a battle against you, his ability to grant Divine Arts to his followers and summon them to disrupt you is meaningless at this stage of your development.

"What’s more, you now have your own Angel Envoy—your envoy fighting against his, I believe the advantage lies with you.

"Had he succeeded in winning over Denton the Dream Stealer before, he might have had a great general under him. Turning Denton into an envoy would mean you’d be facing at least two gold-tier Wizards at once—and Denton possesses the ability to beguile and control the hearts of others. Your trouble would have been even greater.

"But as of now, what you need to worry about is only the Rotting Husband and his new Pope. His new Pope’s strength is also bound not to be that strong. After all, the forces the Rotting Husband had accumulated in Noah were completely eradicated by you... and he has only redeveloped from scratch for just over half a year. freёwebnoѵel.com

"I even suspect that he has no Pope right now. After all, he is still being chased and has to flee everywhere... It’s hard to build a force of his own.

And now that grandmother is awake, he dares not even surface. But those underground hold long-standing grudges against the Rotting Husband—his reputation here is still bad, one might even say naturally hostile.

"This place is theoretically under the domain of those two goddesses, so other True Gods give them face and generally do not interfere here; and the two goddesses do not like bustling activity... That’s why, even though everyone dislikes him, he still chooses to hide here.

"He has already been expelled from the Kingdom of Noah by the Silver Baron, and Yawen originally dislikes such rebellious individuals. The Holy Nation has Mr. Radiance—your half-brother from different mothers, who would definitely kill him on sight.

"If he was willing to live in exile across the seas, perhaps he could live a bit longer. But now that the old grandmother has awakened... just one blizzard is enough to bring the surface world under her surveillance.

"But he is just a stray dog after all. He had no choice."

The Grey Craftsman answered slowly.

Clearly, he does not like this disgrace among the gods either.

"Do you know his exact location?"

Annan asked the Grey Craftsman.

The Grey Craftsman waved his hand and laughed, "How would I know that... Just start a ritual and ask the Faceless Poet. She surely knows, and since she has long disliked him, she certainly won’t hide him from you—If you’re lucky, she might even come in person."

"After all, she does seem rather idle..."

Annan nodded in agreement: "Alright. Once I finish dealing with the matters on Winter’s side, I’ll go find him.

"Speaking of which... Lord Grey Craftsman, is this Otherworld-level nightmare a bit too easy?"

Annan asked: "Is this really the Otherworld-level nightmare provided by the Egg of Dream Condensation?"

"Is it very simple?"

The Grey Craftsman was somewhat surprised: "I think the difficulty is quite moderate. My own persona also completed the formal clearance on the third entry, finding the real murderer."

The real murderer?

Annan was momentarily stunned.

That should mean he hasn’t cleared it yet...

So he immediately countered: "What about the real world line then?"

"What world line?"

The Grey Craftsman appeared a bit puzzled: "Do you mean after identifying the murderer and the victim, there is still a need to reverse their tragedy?"

"It’s on the level above that grey fog."

Through bits of information, Annan guessed which level "Professor Grey" had previously reached.

Then he went straight into an explanation.

After listening to Annan’s narration of the deeper level of the puzzle, the Grey Craftsman suddenly realized: "I see... I finally understand!"

"What?"

"Why he would want to obtain this Egg of Dream Condensation."

The Grey Craftsman said earnestly: "Because the Moth Mother actually marked the Egg of Dream Condensation when she made it.

"—[This Egg of Dream Condensation is suitable for those who want to sever ties with their past selves, or those who wish to reconcile with their past selves]. This is the annotation from Moth Mother to ’The Undying Sun.’

"And if Tricino... If he really manages to unlock this Egg of Dream Condensation with his own strength, he might truly sever his ties with me."

The Grey Craftsman answered solemnly: "That means, the methods you used on him before would also become ineffective. It is even possible that I might really die at his hands...

"...He left that nightmare too quickly. After the grey fog dissolved the reality, he thought he had already completed the purification.

"This is probably fate."
