Chapter 1443: Chapter 1441: Award Ceremony (Part 1)

The coronation ceremony concluded.

The Great Demon was instantly enveloped by a cluster of starlight, transported back to a special region on Earth.

Having just completed the throne succession, the Great Demon still had many subsequent ‘tasks’ to attend to, requiring a quiet and uninterrupted area for prolonged acclimation.

Han Dong vaguely perceived some things.

“There’s an indescribable transformation… In any case, the Great Demon Leader’s current power is far superior to what it was during the London Games, and there’s a change directly tied to the throne that I can’t quite grasp.

Truly powerful.

The Great Demon and Captain Alex managed to completely suppress a King Level being even without possessing thrones themselves.

I wonder when I’ll reach that level—step by step, I suppose!

The next step is the Fate Treasure Map… my first attempt at opening the Fate Space.”

Han Dong had already envisioned teaming up with Green, Sally, and Hop to explore the Fate Space… though unforeseen special circumstances might arise when the time comes.

At that moment.

The London Games officially transitioned into the next stage—”Reward Distribution.”

Rewards varied depending on the individual’s rank.

For non-Mythic Demons, besides the standard rewards, each received an “Upper-level Sculpture” that matched their attributes—what could conventionally be described as an ‘enlightened sculpture.’

Such sculptures established an enigmatic connection to enhance their worship, dreams, and understanding of the concepts of the Fallen.

Demons knelt before their lifelike sculptures, raising them high in reverence.

As for Mythic Body Demons, their reward was a “Permit”—an authorization granting access to the Upper Beings’ direct [Forbidden Spaces].

Even Father Lysos, typically composed, trembled uncontrollably at the sight of the specially marked location on his permit, black water seeping from his pant legs.

The other Mythic Bodies who had accompanied the elements similarly displayed bizarre postures of astonishment.

It must be noted.

These [Forbidden Spaces] were generally accessible only to the direct descendants or inheritors of the Upper Beings and contained knowledge systems equivalent to expansive worlds. Such instances of sharing were exceedingly rare.

For instance: the Chaos Center where Green resides and the Void Pope inhabits, both qualify as [Forbidden Spaces].

The above constitutes the Demons’ special rewards.

As for the Human Expeditionary Army, enlightened Upper Being sculptures were naturally not an option… else the Knights would only need to place a sculpture at their bedside, waking up transformed into an unshapable heap of twisted, rotting flesh.

As starlight trickled down from above.

Upon contact with the Knights’ palms, it instantaneously transformed into ancient tomes written in English.

Each Knight’s tome was unique.

Judging by the cover titles, the contents seemed directly tied to the abilities of each individual Knight, detailing advanced cultivation methods usable by humans.

“These books originate from the [Empire Library] built by humanity during the ancient era.

Although humanity of that time committed irredeemable errors, the secret arts and cultivation methods they created remain highly valuable. In my idle moments, I recorded the library’s entire contents into the stars.

Today I pass these methods to you, hoping you’ll utilize them wisely.”

At this point, several Knights eagerly opened their tomes, marveling at the extraordinary contents within.

The highly perceptive Knight Charlie received a manual titled [Manipulation Calculation], which described puppetry techniques he had never imagined.

If implemented successfully, Charlie might just assemble the final piece of his Mythical Puzzle.

For Knights already at the Mythic Body stage, such as Captain Shaia and Saint Olivia, they too received tomes belonging to the “majestic tier” classification of the former Empire Library.

As the special rewards were distributed.

A select few at the venue remained excluded.

These individuals had contributions in the London Games exceeding the predicted thresholds, earning them designation as “champions” who would receive direct accolades from the Old Kings.

Among them were prominent King-Level beings excluding the Great Demon: Night Mother N.G., Marlon, and Death God.

A hand formed of bubbles materialized abruptly, gently touching their bodies, leaving a unique symbol of recognition within their souls.

“You three have qualified for access to the [Abyss Party].

Before each party begins, you’ll receive a mysterious invitation and may use the Void mark I’ve left in your bodies to directly travel to the Abyss venue where the party initiates… it will greatly benefit your growth.”

Marlon and the Death God were uncertain about the implications of this.

Upon hearing the announcement, the Night Mother erupted with excitement, producing an independent tentacle and suspending herself in the air, trembling wildly in madness.

“Feel free to join us—rest assured, you’ll experience realms like none before…”

“Alright, sounds intriguing!”

Marlon looked thrilled; he’d been part of various gatherings in Hell incomprehensible to humans.

Moreover, this was a special assembly designed to enhance individual power—Marlon, aspiring to become [Human’s Foremost], would never skip such an opportunity.

Alex could only respond with a faint nod upon witnessing this.

Next.

All eyes gradually shifted toward several non-King Level individuals yet to receive their rewards.

Their contributions during the London Games far surpassed the benchmark corresponding to their ranks, marking them as “astonishing” and “exceptional.”

The four individuals were:

[First Element (Madness) Christopher J. Green]

[Second Element (Book of Wisdom) Pope Menda]

[Fifth Element (Revered) Eugenes Trevilo]

[Valen Nicholas]

From the throne.

The entity orchestrating the entire London Games, managing the behind-the-scenes arrangements and acting as the casino overseer, descended from the throne in its iconic bartender form.

“Pope, come forward to receive your reward.”

“Yes, teacher!”

Pope’s gaze brimmed with unmatched respect toward his teacher.

With absolute deference, he stepped forward.

“Pope.

During your time in London City, you successfully constructed the spatial reflection device, effectively halting the enemy’s annihilation strikes.

You collaborated with the Elements to strategize, analyze, control, and execute two Mythic Body enemies among the opposition’s strongest ranks.

At Hyperion Corporation, you swiftly organized a dimensional transmission device, ensuring the collective safe return.

You are awarded:

1. A “Miskatonic University” professorship.

2. The first section of the tome [Revelation of Glaki].”

Upon hearing such rewards, Pope’s mind ignited with a planetary explosion, restraining his exhilaration before his teacher while respectfully accepting his honors.

When the tome [Revelation of Glaki] materialized, all individuals at the venue experienced discomfort, as though an oddity writhed within their bodies.
