"You agreed?"

"Such a simple thing, it's not difficult, right?"

Freymia looked at Shen Sui's nonchalant demeanor and felt helpless, rolling her eyes at Shen Sui and said, "Don't you know what kind of impact Marcin's death would have on the Dawn Continent?"

"Impact? Could it be greater than the death of the War God?"

"Uh... no, it wouldn't be." Freymia was stumped by Shen Sui's retort.

"The War God is dead; a dead War God High Priest shouldn't matter much," Shen Sui pondered.

In fact, for Shen Sui, killing Marcin was even simpler. When it came to just injuring someone, he didn't even know how to hold back.

Moreover, this time Alice was already very considerate, not finding him any divine level opponents, just asking him to help injure a small fry of the thirteenth order. Compared to her previous actions of casually inviting gods to bother him, it was simply adorable.

"Huh? The War God is dead?" Freymia looked at Shen Sui incredulously. She really didn't know about this.

"Oh," Shen Sui said, "Did you forget why Alice went to find you in the first place?"

"It was said that you were severely injured by the War God..." Freymia had a very vivid memory of the process of reuniting with Shen Sui, feeling that she would never forget it.

When mentioning this, Freymia understood.

Given the War God's strength, he surely wasn't a match for Shen Sui.

Thus, the claim that Shen Sui was severely injured by the War God was naturally ridiculous.

Since Shen Sui was fine, what then was the conclusion on the other side of the battle?

Freymia once again felt the terrifying nature of Shen Sui.

A battle with the War God could certainly be deemed a Divine War, right?

Yet it began so quietly and ended just as quietly.

No one knew the War God was already dead....

"Wait! If the War God fell, there should have been some abnormal signs, right?" Freymia said.

Shen Sui chuckled, "Well, you can't say he completely fell. I've let Arianna temporarily carry out the War God's duties; at least the War God's divine position still exists."

Arianna...

Death God....

Freymia was already numb.

No surprise could faze her anymore from Shen Sui.

Perhaps, as someone who fled the Dawn Continent, she should view Dawn Continent's problems from a different perspective.

[Alice opened the treasure box in front of Klei.]

[Seeing the contents of the treasure box, Klei felt a bit disappointed.]

[Although the items here were not precious to him, judging by some of the markings on the objects, this was indeed the treasure box of the Twilight Bishop, Claude.]

["Didn't expect Claude's treasure box to hold things like this," Klei said with disappointment. To monopolize this treasure box, the Church of the Master of Thunder built a church specifically around it.]

["Claude Modena was just a despicable villain who ambushed the gods, don't overestimate him, Archbishop," Alice said with a scornful look.]

Shen Sui, knowing this was Alice's rhetoric to kid Klei, still half-jokingly replied:

[You're deliberately mocking me, aren't you?]

[Ah! I didn't do it on purpose. It's part of the plan; I'll make it up to you later.]

[Uh, what can you compensate me with? A little seventh-ranking kid.]

[Get your body ready soon, and let you fully enjoy....]

[Shut up! Alice!]

Shen Sui rubbed his temples in exasperation.

The rumors spread by that detestable church have totally slandered me!

I didn't even mess around this time loop!

[The opening of the treasure box eased Klei's last worry.]

[Alice, according to the plan, conveyed the same rhetoric to Aivia and Marcin.]

[Marcin, looking at the intelligence Alice passed on, with a hint of doubt: "Are you sure about the accuracy of the information? This is intelligence brought by our elite spies infiltrating the Church of the Master of Thunder, risking their lives."]

[Alice showed a professional smile: "Please do not question a courier's work, Mr. Marcin. You surely don't want to see the Twilight Saintess arriving prematurely, do you?"]

[Marcin fell into silence.]

["If you are truly concerned, you may go to the church in Elm City tonight and witness the opening of the Twilight Bishop's treasure," Alice said.]

[Marcin was incredulous but also partly believed.]

[After all, this is indeed the function of a courier.]

[Aivia, looking at the information Alice gave her, was also dubious.]

[She glanced at Oshana beside her and inquired, "Did the courier indeed obtain this information?"]

[Oshana stared at the expressionless Alice, slowly shaking her head, "The courier's information is one-way; only the courier in charge of that line would know the details of the information. However..."]

["What are you trying to say, Oshana?"]

["The courier serves the gods," Oshana said.]

[Aivia immediately understood Oshana's meaning.]

[Loyalty to the gods does not equate to loyalty to Daylight.]

[Couriers from other sects can never be trusted easily.]

[Alice seemed to pick up on Aivia's doubt and said, "If you don't believe, you can attend tonight at the church in Elm City and witness the unveiling of the Twilight Bishop's treasure, Lady Saintess."]

["Very well," Aivia responded.]

[Though the disputes between sects are increasingly fierce, to avoid reliving the despair of the Twilight of the Gods, the major sects still maintain a basic level of understanding.]

[As long as we few main leaders don't fall out, others won't take advantage of it.]

[Even in conflicts, sects avoid assassination, ambush, and such actions; struggles over faith should be open and aboveboard.]

Wow.

Seeing this, Shen Sui couldn't help but find it amusing.

You sure have confidence, don't you?

Do you really believe the Twilight of the Gods resulted from your own infighting, which allowed me to take advantage of the situation?

If it weren't for my lower level back then, making the fights drag on, you might not have even witnessed the Twilight.

[Night falls.]

[Agents of Daylight, War God, and Thunder gathered in Elm City Church.]

[They will unveil the Twilight Bishop's treasure here, exposing the Twilight Council's conspiracy together.]

[Alice slowly walked into the view of the three high-ranking church figures.]

[With the commencement of a complex ritual, Alice placed her hand on the treasure box.]

[The profound and intricate incantation lent a touch of credibility to this ritual.]

[A faint dragon scale was placed on the treasure box.]

[Click.]

[A clear sound echoed.]

[Everyone looked excitedly in the direction of the treasure box.]

[For the first time in a thousand years, the treasure box of Twilight Bishop Claude was opened before them.]

[Alice reached into the treasure box afterward.]

[A magnificent sword appeared in her hand.]

["This is what those guys referred to as the Breaking the Boundary artifact." Klei said to Marcin after inspecting the sword, "I've checked it, it's just an ornate decorative sword, with no real combat power."]

[Klie trusted his own judgment; though the sword was indeed finely made, useless is still useless.]

["I need to check it too." Marcin stated, "It's not that I don't trust you, Klei, but this matter is too important."]

[Klei squinted, very displeased.]

[Both sides stared at each other silently.]

[Klei stepped aside halfway, making a gesture of invitation.]

[Marcin walked up to Alice: "Let me see!"]

[Alice showed a humble expression: "You'll see soon enough, Mr. Marcin."]

[Alice activated the Divine Sword.]

[A dazzling, multicolored light flashed at that moment.]

[A powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire area.]

[Everyone felt a chilling pressure.]

[However, before they could react, an even more startling scene unfolded.]

[Alice merely waved the sword lightly, tearing the dark sky with immense power.]

[Marcin's body shivered slightly.]

[The next moment, his body lost all support and fell straight down.]

[He was already dead.]

[He died swiftly and neatly, like a chicken casually slaughtered.]

Damn!

Sure enough, I couldn't hold back.

Shen Sui scratched his head.

This Thirteenth-Level High Priest, so weak? I only used a simple Thirteenth-Level spell!

[Alice, holding the ornate sword, gazed around.]

[The Knights of Daylight immediately leaped up, shielding Aivia in the center.]

["No need to hurry." Alice said softly, caressing the sword, "You'll all stay here."]

["What exactly are you trying to do?" Aivia asked, looking at the approaching Thunder Knights.]

["Following my master's will," Alice tilted her head, smiling at Aivia, "to bring true peace to this world."]

["What do you mean?"]

["To the Dawn Continent," Alice said slowly, "there are just too many gods in this world."]

["The world needs only one ruler." Alice pointed the sword at Aivia, "And the great Master of Thunder shall become the true dominator of this world!"]

["You betrayed the Messenger?" Aivia exclaimed, shocked that such words would come from a Messenger.]

["No, I am the true Messenger."]

["Run, Lady Saintess!" Oshana shouted as Alice swung the sword again.]

[She raised her shield, standing in front of Aivia.]

[The splendid sword light pierced through her body.]

[Oshana destroyed her own shield.]

[In that moment, Aivia found an opportunity.]

[The Knights of Daylight covered Aivia as she escaped Elm City.]

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Pretentiousness.]

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: False Peace.]

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Realistic Performance.]

[Everything around slowly dissipated.]

[The power of the Fantasy Dragon's dragon scale faded, revealing the true environment.]

[Under the influence of the illusion, the War God Church's forces had already engaged in battle with the Thunder Knights.]

[Anna's figure slowly emerged beside Alice.]

["Raymond and the others have arrived," Anna said to Alice, "they went after the Daylight Knight Order."]

["Hehe. Tell them to act more realistically." Alice giggled, "The Master of Thunder claiming the Divine Artifact for banishing gods, hunting down the informed to prevent other gods from preparing early, should be quite reasonable, right?"]

["What about these people?" Anna pointed at the fighting crowd.]

["What about that Klei?"]

["Aina has already caught him," Anna replied.]

["Mmhm, then it's time for the actors to take the stage." Alice said with a smile, "Find some good performers from the Twilight Legion, they will be Elm City's Thunder Knight Order from now on."]

[Ding! You obtained a Spell Card: Identity Replacement.]
