“Hasn’t the Insect Swarm used similar tactics several times before?”

Bai Yi was still sitting at the laboratory table, fiddling with a Soul Body in his hand, without turning around.

Vlad nodded in sudden realization.

“So, even though you knew there were spies, you still deliberately recruited ordinary believers with great fanfare, just to show that even if the Church goes all out, this is the best it can do, isn’t it?”

Just like Bai Yi said, the Insect Swarm had used such plans more than once, and they had even tried it themselves, instantly understanding the intent.

“But speaking of which, what about those spies? It’s been a month, right? How many new spies have snuck in?”

“Indeed, since last week, this week, another 43 spies have been confirmed. The brothers and sisters of the Undead Clan have been sent to confirm, using the special communicators, hidden special documents, their identities are unmistakable. All told, we have confirmed a total of 477 spies, the highest rank reaching Tier Three.”

“Are they still all from the Empire?”

“Oh, this time there are some special characters.”

Vlad shook his head unexpectedly, surprising Bai Yi and prompting him to pause his Soul Body modification.

“The Undead have confirmed that most of them have one-way contact with an organization called the ‘Gray Gang.’ Although not within the Empire, the contact end points are all in the Gemini Empire. They recruit believers for advancement, arranged by the Empire. Of course, these are all disconnected links, if it weren’t for the Undead and the cooperation of ‘Quantum Ghost,’ we wouldn’t have found them.”

In fact, even the cooperation with the Quantum Ghost was purely accidental, as they did not have the capability to directly contact the entity.

Their straightforward inquiries directly stumbled upon a monitoring node of the Quantum Ghost in the Quantum Network, leading to the Quantum Ghost’s proactive contact and cooperation.

This doesn’t need to be said explicitly…

Although, as he understood, his master probably already knew and was just pretending not to…

“Ahem, but among the spies this week, we found some non-Empire people.”

“Are they from the other Two Great Civilizations?”

“Uh, not entirely, among the 43 spies this time, there are as many as 21 different forces mixed in…”

Vlad rubbed his forehead, slightly helpless about this.

“Besides Radiance and Saien acting with a trial mentality to infiltrate the enemy, the others are advanced civilizations and high-tier organizations from the Starry Sky. We speculate that it could be because they don’t have the Empire’s strong influence, unable to quickly arrange a batch of believers like the Empire, which has just now allowed them to formally gain Transcendent power, drawing our attention. If so, there may be even more in the future.”

“Oh, those other organizations, I almost forgot…”

The Red Moon Church now announces its presence in the Starry Sky, attracting interest not just from the Three Great Civilizations, and as a new force, it inevitably attracts more exploration due to its apparent substantial secrets.

And these spies, though primitive, are still one of the most effective means.

Even the remaining two Great Civilizations could do the same.

After all, spies are meant for infiltrating the enemy from the very beginning.

The previous lack of action against the Insect Swarm and other Church Organizations was partly because humans couldn’t infiltrate the former, while the latter’s entry threshold was too high.

They couldn’t join without belief, and belief made them untrustworthy, directly blocking the way.

“More and more spies, indeed something needs to be done… Ah, right!”

Bai Yi’s eyes lit up.

“During recruitment, try to enlist all those spies and group them into the same unit. Just as they should be eager to advance quickly, let them probe each other temporarily, preventing them from accidentally carrying out any important intelligence. By the time they advance through normal channels, I should be able to fully control them, ensuring safety…”

“I understand.”

Vlad bowed his head, hesitated for a moment, then still asked:

“By the way, Your Highness, about the 8th Rank power…”

“That’s not a problem I can solve simply because I want to…” Bai Yi glanced at the Soul Body on the table and shook his head.

“Compared to that, I feel you’ll breakthrough through normal channels even faster. You’re currently at the seventh Rank in normal Transcendence, right?”

Switching to Magic Power vision, Vlad’s current magic power was enough to match a normal high-tier level.

During this time, Vlad, the leader of the Red Moon Church, had not been idle.

“Yes, thanks to your gift, my breakthrough encountered no bottleneck at all.”

Vlad raised his right hand, gathering magic power in his palm, forming a mass of magical fire, staring at the flames, not knowing what expression to show for a moment.

“Magician, once I had no magical talent at all, could only envy those witches. But now, I can naturally control them and have reached high-tier levels, although my magic is limited because of the power you granted.”

“Of course, your situation is probably similar to those magicians who have mastered abnormal objects, because your ‘abnormal object’ is imprinted with my mark, your magic is forcibly limited. Currently, you could probably have a good conversation with Lunning.”

“Haha, during this time, we haven’t met, but we’ve been communicating frequently in the network.”

Vlad caught the flame back into his palm, the manifested magic power also retracted, and smiled.
