They all call me Great Master-Chapter 734 - 731: Divine Arrival I

Beneath the night sky, in the moonlight.

The giant snake Nidhogg stretched its 40-meter-long body.

Toran, Mr. Gwen, and Mrs. Gwen knelt down immediately, their faces etched with devotion, the kind filled with utter fervor.

Yet, this fervor was not the same.

Having endured the betrayal of the former High Priest Achisto, Toran had been heartbroken, and if it weren't for Grindelwald's words to "seek the true god," this young priest would have sought death long ago.

Thus, the "God of the Inland River" had already become the last straw saving this young priest's life.

In the name of "faith," there was hope to live on.

Therefore, looking at the giant snake Nidhogg, the young priest's fervor was the most pure.

So pure it shone as brilliantly as life itself.

Mr. Gwen's fervor, on the other hand, was more of a scholarly practice.

It was the ecstatic joy of seeing what he sought in books become reality.

This joy too was fervent.

Because, it brought Mr. Gwen an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Moreover, this feeling of satisfaction continued to spread—

"It's true! Everything is true!

My guesses were indeed right!"

Mr. Gwen murmured to himself in a low voice.

The fervor in his eyes intensified with such murmurs.

It was as if this gentleman had found the meaning of his life.

As for Mrs. Gwen, it was much simpler.

She loved Mr. Gwen.

She supported the research done by Mr. Gwen.

And…

Children!

Having no children with her husband had always been their greatest regret.

She had consulted doctors, who were helpless.

Just when she was about to give up, someone told her that the Divine Spirits could help her.

That was why she joined the Inland River Cult.

Despite her education and upbringing, Mrs. Gwen always held a bit of resistance toward the church—she could not accept some of its practices—yet over time, she grew accustomed to them.

Fortunately, everything that happened at Port Doldot woke Mrs. Gwen up again.

Especially after learning from Toran that Achisto had betrayed the church, she realized all the abnormalities were caused by that traitor and the despicable Nobles.

The teachings of the Inland Church had been altered by them.

Honestly, upon hearing this news, Mrs. Gwen was surprised and relieved simultaneously.

Mrs. Gwen blamed all the initial oddities of the Inland Church on that traitor and the Nobles.

Afterward?

Mrs. Gwen firmly stood by Toran's side.

To Mrs. Gwen, the Inland Church, back on the right track, represented her hope.

Even if faced with numerous dangers, Mrs. Gwen would not back down.

Because, in her view, all of this was a test.

And now?

Having passed one test, she had seen the true face of the Divine Spirits.

If she could pass several more tests, could she truly have children with her husband?

She could, right?

Yes, she could!

Mrs. Gwen's expression grew more resolute, her frenzy becoming visibly more intense than that of her husband and Toran beside her.

There are two things in the world that can drive a person to recklessness.

One is the sudden onset of love.

The other is motherly love.

Moreover, unlike the sudden onset of love, which may encounter various demons and Devils as obstacles, when a mother decides to do something for her child, no force exists that can stop her; heaven and earth will lend their power.

Even if there are obstacles, they will be instantly nullified.

Because…

Everyone has a mother.

Grindelwald's gaze lingered briefly on the three—as the first officially established peripheral organization of the Black Cat Faction, Grindelwald naturally had to be cautious in screening, especially the leaders. Fortunately, the three of them passed the test.

As for the rest? freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Grindelwald looked towards the previously neutral crowd.

These were the most numerous.

Similarly, they were also the most terrified at this moment.

Not that these people were cowards.

It was simply because the sudden appearance of a snake as tall as a 14-story building, beginning to stretch its immense body, was enough to shock anyone.

Especially since these people had offended such an existence to some extent.

The ensuing terror was indescribable.

It spread like a plague.

Thump!

Someone in the crowd knelt down.

After the first one, there came a second, and then a whole swath of them.

Seeing this scene, Arthur, who was controlling Grindelwald, felt satisfied.

Why had he let the Giant Snake Nidhogg appear here?

Was it not for this very scene?

He wanted the entire Inland Church.

He needed the organization that belonged to the eldest son of the Old Lion of Inner Bay to completely belong to him.

He intended to act as a Spirit Medium in the name of God.

Thus, the entire Inland Church needed to have a loyal upper echelon, an efficient middle tier, and expendable lower ranks.

"Your Crown!

Please forgive their ignorance!

They have just been deceived!"

Grindelwald bowed slightly.

Those neutrals who knelt immediately looked toward Grindelwald with gratitude, even though they had been contemplating just moments before what benefits they might reap should Grindelwald die.

Facing the threat of death, they had long forgotten everything else.

But in the next moment, these people became even more terrified.

Because—

Hiss!

A snake's hiss that was unusual, but each person could sense the anger in it.

The backs of the neutrals were drenched with sweat.

Even Toran and Mr. and Mrs. Gwen felt unease rising in their hearts.

And Grindelwald's brows furrowed slightly.

Then, as everyone watched, this leader of the Black Cat Faction straightened his back and said in a more formal voice—

"This is not my request.

It is the Divine Lord's demand.

Your Crown, surely you don't want the Divine Lord to discuss this with you personally?"

Every word, clear and distinct.

The hissing stopped with these words.

On that enormous snake face, all believers of the Inland Church saw a trace of reverence.

Reverence?

Whom does the Divine Lord revere?

What existence is worthy of the Divine Lord's reverence?

Many believers found it unbelievable.

But precisely because it was unbelievable, no one doubted the authenticity of this event.

And some well-informed believers had already unconsciously begun whispering that name in their hearts—

Spirit Medium Arthur Kredos from South Los!

Their hearts' whispers made them incredibly devout at that moment.

Especially Mr. Gwen, who couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"I truly wish to see His Excellency in person."

Suddenly feeling it was inappropriate, Mr. Gwen immediately began praying softly.

His soft prayer quickly resonated with everyone.

They chanted together—

"The God has a form, serpent-like, immensely long and thick.

The Breath of God is venomous.

The Command of God, all snakes obey!

You are the King of Ten Thousand Snakes.

You are the Lord of the Inland River.

Your hiss is the roaring waves.

Your gaze is the path of the Inland River…"

In such prayers, the Giant Snake Nidhogg calmed down, looked at the believers before it, nodded slightly, and then slowly submerged into the Inland River.

The Divine Lord... has accepted us?

The congregation of the Inland Church looked at each other.

Then, in the next moment, everyone's eyes turned toward Grindelwald.
