Comprehensive comic: Starting from the Soul Society and cutting through all the worlds

Chapter 702: Martial God Festival Finals!
It didn't take long for Night City to get a response to the conditions he proposed to Mordred.

He originally thought there would be some obstacles, but was surprised to find that the cult agreed very readily. Not only did they agree to Ye Cheng's conditions, but they also told Ye Cheng all about the "Black Rose" and the original plan.

“There are twelve Knights of the Round Table in total. We were missing one before. When we were in the Holy Land, the eleventh Knight died at the hands of the people of the Shadow Courtyard.

So now you are temporarily the eleventh seat of the Knights of the Round Table, and you can call yourself 'Galahad' during meetings and in the Order."

As Mordred spoke, he took out a red pill from his arms and handed it to Yecheng.

“This is the core secret of our Diabolos Cult and our ultimate goal.

As long as you eat the essence of Diabolos, you will gain stronger power and immortality.

The low-ranking members of the cult and the Son of Diabolos eat nothing but the cracked product of this thing."

Reaching out to take the red pill handed to him by Mordred, Ye Cheng could also feel the power contained in the pill in his hand.

Rather than calling it a pill, it is better to say that it is a collection of power, and Ye Cheng can clearly feel that this thing seems to have life.

Geno Gulifi, who kidnapped Alexia before, seemed to have eaten something similar, but the quality was far inferior to what he had in his hand now.

Ye Cheng reached out to take the pill, then after a moment's hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed it.

"boom------!"

And at the moment he swallowed the essence of Diabolos, the magic power in his body burst out uncontrollably. The powerful air storm even blew Mordred in front of him back several steps.

"How is it? This is the power of our Diabolos Cult. This kind of powerful power is very addictive, right?

I didn't expect that your strength is so much stronger than I imagined. It seems that the eleventh seat is only temporary for you."

When Mordred saw Night City swallow the Essence of Diabolos in front of him, he no longer doubted Night City's loyalty.

No, it should be said that even if Night City had ulterior motives before, Mordred doesn't have to worry at all now.

The essence of Diabolos can indeed grant others powerful abilities and a certain degree of immortality.

But because the research has not been thoroughly completed, this essence is both a powerful force and a shackle.

As long as you use the Essence of Diabolos, you will be labeled as a member of the cult and will never be able to live without it.

Moreover, how many people can resist the temptation of eternal life and power?

After experiencing such powerful strength, how many people would be willing to go back to their original selves?
Human nature is greedy, and Mordred knows this better than anyone else. So when Night City used the "Essence of Diabolos", Mordred knew very well that the other party had been completely tricked.

“We can go back and deal with the matters of the Kingdom of Oriana later. Anyway, the throne and the ring are now in our hands, and the Black Rose is already in our pocket.

The latest order from the cult now requires us to win the "Martial God Festival".

The royal family of the Kingdom of Midgar is full of incompetent people. The only one who can be considered outstanding is the first princess Alice Midgar. It can even be said that she now represents the royal family.

What we have to do is to completely defeat the opponent in the "Martial God Festival", break the people's faith and popularity in her, and indirectly control the Kingdom of Midgar."

After leaving the so-called cult's instructions, Mordred left. Shortly after he left, Ye Cheng, whose spiritual pressure had exploded, and whose scarlet eyes began to return to normal gradually.

Then, accompanied by a surge of magical power, a drop of blood with a strange color slowly emerged from the palm of his hand.

The Essence of Diabolos, after all, is actually something refined from the blood of the demon Diabolos.

Eating this thing can indeed gain enormous power and achieve a certain degree of immortality, but the price is also quite obvious.

That is, the body will be constantly eroded to the point of becoming a "half-demon"-like being.

The so-called "immortality" is simply nonsense, because the longer lifespan is entirely due to their life phenomena, and they have obviously transformed from humans into another species.

Ye Cheng had just swallowed this thing directly before because he felt the so-called essence, which was also a collection of magic power.

As long as it is magic power, he is confident that he can use his own magic power to compress it and squeeze it out of his body.

Ye Cheng did not throw away the "Diabolos Essence" that was squeezed out of the body. Instead, he found a container to put it in. Maybe it could come in handy in the future.

The "Martial God Festival" is still going on, but since the battle between Yecheng and the ever-victorious golden dragon Gold, the wind direction has completely changed.

Many people previously believed that the First Princess Alice was the champion of this "Martial God Festival". After all, she had always been the "strongest magic swordsman" of Midgar.

But since that day, people in the royal capital now began to believe that Night City is the favorite to win the championship!

After two days of fierce competition, the top four of the "Martial God Festival" were all decided.

Among the top four, in addition to Ye Cheng and Alice who were expected by everyone, the other two can be regarded as the absolute dark horses of this "Martial God Festival".

As for these two dark horses, one is Jimina Sena, who obviously looks like he has kidney deficiency and even staggers when he walks.

The other one was the purple-haired knight Mordred, who had no reputation before, but in the quarterfinals, he easily defeated Annelojie, one of the Seven Samurai Swords.

Honestly speaking, apart from Ye Cheng and Alice, no one else would have thought that the other two who advanced to the semi-finals would be this man with kidney deficiency and the nameless knight.

On the same day of the finals, Claire and Ye Cheng's adoptive father, Gus, also rushed to the capital from the Omega Territory.

When Gaisi, who had just arrived in the royal capital, entered the city gate, he was taken to the palace by the guards, who said that the King wanted to see him. This made our master Gaisi look confused.

To be honest, he was a border baron, and there were at least 800 of them in the entire kingdom. After being a baron for so long, he had never even seen the King of Midgar in person, so he really had no idea what His Majesty the King wanted to do with a small figure like him.

The confused Geis was first taken to the palace, and then he was inexplicably named Marquis of the kingdom and given a larger territory.

While he was still in a daze of his sudden success, His Majesty the King enthusiastically invited him to watch the "Martial God Festival" together.

During this period, a white-haired girl was very attentive to him throughout. At first, he thought she was a maid.

But later he discovered that the other party was actually the second princess!
Gus: Oh my god, it's too crazy here in the capital!
