Chapter 243: Benevolent Follower
Having set his plan, Karl continued to advance towards ‘Tortuga Island,’ while constantly observing his surroundings.
Once he detected signs of activity from Evil God Followers, and they were not God’s Children, he would take action to harvest Source Essence.
After half a month.
Source Essence: 19
In just half a month, he had encountered three places with Evil God’s Will activity, showing how numerous they were.
He harvested 19 points of Source Essence and also gained some understanding of the Evil God Followers.
Any being that had received the Evil God’s blessing or favor could be called an Evil God’s Servant, and their cultivation was mostly at the initial stage of Legendary.
After killing such beings, he could obtain 0.1 Source Essence.
Above Servants were Followers.
Lower Followers were worth 0.5-0.8.
Middle Followers were mostly worth 3-8.
As for Upper Followers, he hadn’t encountered any since he met ‘Li,’ the ‘Mechanical Creation’s’ Follower.
He estimated they could be worth 10-20 Source Essence.
Demigods and God’s Children, he estimated, would be worth over 50!
However, if he encountered a God’s Child, Karl would only have the option to flee, and whether he could escape was still uncertain.
If there were no restrictions from the Power of Laws, a casual punch from a God’s Child could take his life.
“It’s a pity that the souls of Evil God Followers can’t be harvested casually, otherwise I could accumulate more skills.”
On the second floor of the Wizard Tower, Karl looked regretful.
The souls of Followers were connected to their Gods, so even if he was bold, he wouldn’t dare to touch the Gods’ territory.
And the skills possessed by Evil God Followers were bestowed by their Gods, usually of very high quality, some even approaching the fourth order.
Just like ‘Li’s’ Seventeen Forms of Divine Martial Arts.
That was a fourth-order inheritance technique comparable to the Ten Thousand Buddha Hands.
“Add points!”
Constitution 33.5 -> Constitution 35.4.
“Ugh…”
Karl raised his neck, the veins on his forehead bulged, and immense power surged from his Sea of Consciousness into his body.
In the blink of an eye.
His skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs seemed to have been re-tempered, becoming even more solid and full of explosive power.
“Hah…”
Karl exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his eyes slightly bright.
“It’s still faster to harvest Source Essence to improve my cultivation. If I cultivated on my own, I don’t know how long it would take.”
Just as he was sighing, an alert sounded from the Wizard Tower.
The ‘Floating Wizard Tower,’ which was in a state of invisibility, was not stationary but had been moving forward.
And the Eye of Insight was operating at full capacity.
The entire Wizard Tower was enveloped in a huge water sphere, which acted like a large signal amplifier, allowing the Eye of the Evil God to clearly observe scenes hundreds of miles away, not letting any abnormalities slip by.
Second-Circle Spell ━ Eye of the Beehive!
At this moment, it ‘saw’ a ‘shooting star’ streak across the sky, heading towards the northern sea.
Any ‘shooting star’ that fell from the sky, unless its trajectory was straight down, was most likely related to an Evil God.
“The direction is towards the north, and its momentum hasn’t stopped. It’ll probably land tens of thousands of miles away. I can’t catch up even if I try.”
Karl calculated it and shook his head slightly:
“Forget it!”
It’s not on the same path, and even if I chase after it, I might not be able to find it. There’s no need to waste time on this.
He calmed himself down.
Karl continued to sit cross-legged and cultivate.
With the increase in his Constitution stat, his Holy Demon Transformation was getting closer and closer to the sixth level, nearing completion.
At the same time…
He was also searching for suitable spells.
With so many inheritances, Karl didn’t lack spells, but due to the restrictions of the world’s laws, he couldn’t cast top-tier second-circle spells or even third-circle spells.
He needed to find a second-circle spell that wasn’t high-ranked but had considerable power to use as support.
Soon,
“Found it!”
Initial Second-Circle Spell ━ Cold and Hot Sonata!
This was a spell from the School of Nature. Once cast, it could adjust the temperature within a specific range.
High temperatures and cold temperatures would alternate.
Once mastered, it could have ten cold and hot changes per second. The high temperatures could melt gold and iron, and the low temperatures could freeze and crack rocks.
The rapid alternation of cold and heat could easily destroy the bodies and defenses of living beings, achieving the purpose of killing.
The key was…
This spell could be stacked!
Ten cold and hot changes per second seemed fast, but for second-order experts, it was nothing.
Second-order experts could easily break the sound barrier, and at full power, they could travel hundreds of meters in a second.
Ten changes,
It would be difficult for even five to land on them.
But if this spell was continuously stacked, it could theoretically achieve hundreds of changes per second.
Moreover,
Its rank was still initial second order.
“A hundred changes per second of extreme heat and cold, even an Upper Follower should not be able to withstand it.”
***
Karl touched his chin:
“It’s a pity that it requires charging. It can only be used for sneak attacks. There won’t be a chance in a head-on fight. But it can be used to adapt to Fire Magic.”
He had decided to switch to the path of Fire Magic.
After all, he had a Fire Magic inheritance that went straight to the fourth order, and even touched the fifth order.
It would be foolish not to switch.
Of course.
He needed to construct the third-circle spell, Water of Life, first. After all, this spell would allow Karl to cultivate the Holy Demon Transformation to the seventh level when he was a second-order Holy Knight, making his physical strength comparable to a third-order Forbidden Knight.

Humans were like weeds. As long as they were not eradicated, they could stubbornly grow even in the cracks of rocks.
Just like now.
More than ten families had built simple houses around a muddy pond and erected fences around them to keep out any potential wild beasts.
Karl floated in mid-air, looking down. Several women were drawing water from the pond with wooden buckets.
The water was muddy.
It needed to be left to settle for a while to become clear, but even if it wasn’t boiled at high temperatures, it would still be easy to get diseases.
The people of the ‘village’ were busy in an orderly and peaceful manner.
“Where is it?”
Karl had clearly sensed a fluctuation of Evil God’s aura here, but he had come in a hurry and found nothing.
“Someone helped them build houses and get rid of diseases. Could it be that Evil God Followers also have benevolent qualities?”
Just as he was muttering to himself, a warm voice sounded:
“God says, mercy is the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and mortals always desire His abundant mercy, tolerance, and patience.”
“Traveler on the road, would you be willing to come down and sit for a while?”
Karl looked towards the direction of the voice.
Not far away, on a large tree, a barefoot, white-clad woman with an exquisite face was looking at him with a smile.
The woman’s long hair flowed, and her aura was holy. Although she didn’t have wings, she looked more like an angel.
An angel with compassion for all living beings!
“Evil God Follower?”
Karl frowned:
“You’re helping mortals to spread your faith?”
“God says, people are born in pain and die in pain. Only sincere faith can escape suffering.” The woman said, her voice filled with compassion:
“Living beings are in distress, and I am here to help them according to God’s will.”
“So you’re an Evil God Follower.” Karl nodded:
“Which deity do you believe in?”
“…” As a devout follower of the ‘Main God of Light,’ she couldn’t help but feel some anger in her heart after being treated so rudely. Even though she had a good temper.
She suppressed her smile and said slowly:
“God says, arrogance is one of the original sins of man. It is understandable that ignorant mortals do not know the greatness of God.”
“If you can believe in the Father God, I can take you to the Divine Kingdom to enjoy eternal and endless joy.”
“Heh…” Karl chuckled:
“Why do you have to say ‘God says’ every time you speak? Can’t you even speak without God’s instructions?”
“As for believing in a deity…”
He blinked, and strange eyes appeared on his forehead, cheeks, and chin, blinking.
The strange scene made Molly’s expression change drastically.
“Evil God Follower!”
She was only a Lower Follower. The reason she came to this world was to prove her devotion to her faith.
Secondly, she also wanted to develop followers to please the Father God, hoping to become a Middle or even Upper Angel one day.
However, she was also aware.
For some special reason, this world was being targeted by many deities, not just her own Father God.
The Followers of those deities were all vying for limited followers and Source Essence, and they were enemies of each other.
And she was just a Lower Follower, one of the weaker ones among those who had come here. She didn’t dare to show herself openly and could only secretly save a few dozen mortals and quietly spread her faith.
Aura of Fear!
The eyes on his cheeks bloomed with a strange light, and Molly’s body melted rapidly, like grease meeting fire.
“Huh…”
Karl blinked:
“She escaped?”
“Are there really such timid Evil God Followers?”
The Evil God Followers he had encountered, whether they had intelligence or not, all attacked him like mad dogs.
This was the first one who had run away without even daring to attack.
“Interesting!”
Smiling, Karl wrapped himself in lightning and flew towards the direction where her aura had disappeared, crossing a large mountain in an instant.
Soon.
Karl’s figure stopped in mid-air, frowning as he looked down at the two groups fighting below.
One side was made up of people wearing armor, riding horses, and wielding sharp blades, while the other side was made up of all sorts of strange monsters.
“Cavalry from Death City?”
With a thought, he flashed towards the group of monsters.
