Chapter 24 Playing Chess with the Devil(2/2)

“When the ‘pawn’ reaches the opponent’s bottom line, it can be ‘promoted’ into any chess piece except the ‘king’, but usually everyone chooses to ‘promote’ into the powerful ‘queen’.”

"The ceremony of advancing from the fourth stage to the fifth stage is very special. Alchemists call it 'ascension'. After going through the 'ascension' ceremony, one enters endless glory."

Jeffrey's voice was solemn, filled with longing and awe.

"This is the fifth stage of the Sublime One, and it is also the highest power currently known, the 'Queen of Glory', the 'Glory One' illuminated by radiance and holiness."

"What is known so far?" Hearing this, Boluogo looked at the "King", "What about the 'King'?"

The core of Othello is the king who countless chess pieces are trying to defend with all their swords and blood. So what about it? What is its status in this system of extraordinary power and what does it represent?

"'King' is a stage that only exists in hypotheses. As for whether anyone has really reached this stage? I don't know... No, no one knows. It's like an unknowable mystery, a period that no one believes in.

Strange legends."

Jeffrey explained that there is still no clear record to prove that there are really people who have reached the "King" stage.

"Therefore, among the various forces currently, the most top force is the 'Queen of Glory'."

"Then what is the name of the 'King'? Even hypothetically, you should have reserved a place for it on the long ladder of power, right?"

Boluogo asked suddenly, his eyes fixed on the crown on the chessboard, which stood silently among the chess pieces, with an illusory and blurred color.

"The crowned king."

Jeffrey's voice paused, without any emotion.

"At the end of the highest staircase, holding the royal power to command thousands of armies, was crowned with the crown of justice.

He is the absolute and only one...the one who is crowned."
