If it were anyone else accusing the Augustus Family of such a grave charge, the Nighthawks and Punishers might have just laughed it off.
But the accuser was Lin Ruo, a Goddess's Chosen, and this was happening when there was concrete evidence that the Augustus Family had colluded with the Three Great Churches and intended to bring about the descent of an evil god.
This made it impossible not to take seriously.
The expressions of ordinary Church members were filled with surprise and doubt, and even Archbishop Anthony's brows were furrowed at this moment.
He was clearly deep in thought, but perhaps due to some apprehension, he did not speak openly in public.
Lin Ruo smiled at this.
He naturally knew that given the Augustus Family's power, even with such an accusation, the Church could not truly cripple them.
But no matter what, having caused such an incident and being suspected of such intentions, the Augustus Family would have to provide an explanation to the Three Great Churches.
This was enough to bring considerable trouble to the Augustus.
"And my words aren't entirely baseless either; after all, the Augustus are plotting to become gods…" Lin Ruo added in his mind, then looked at Archbishop Anthony and said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first.
I'll leave things here to you."
"Oh, right," Lin Ruo remembered the Demoness of Despair he had hunted and added, "The Demoness Sect's Despair Nightingale Panatiya was killed by me in the East Borough.
Send someone to deal with her body.
The exact location is…"
After saying this, Lin Ruo exchanged a few pleasantries with Anthony, greeted Leonard from the Nighthawks team, and then carried Klein back to Sherlock's Detective Agency.
Both he and Klein were almost on the verge of falling asleep at this moment, so it was naturally time to go back and rest.
More information about this incident could be learned later!
Thinking this, Lin Ruo yawned, healed Klein's injuries, then took out a letter and wrote to Azik.
Afterward, he returned to his room to sleep and recover his Beyonder powers.
Klein naturally also returned to his room to rest; after all, his fight with Mr. A and his subordinates ABCD had consumed a lot of his spirituality, and his head was aching a bit now.
As for Creeping Hunger and Zombie Jason, they were naturally thrown Above the Gray Fog.
…
While the master-disciple duo finished their business and happily caught up on sleep, Bernadette, who had already sent Mr. A to his designated location, returned to her Dawn.
After adjusting herself to her best state, Bernadette took out the mystical item "Sage Frontlet," which was made from a Sequence 2 Sage characteristic.
She then took out the remaining Materials for concocting the potion from her spatial equipment—this spatial equipment was a mystical item Lin Ruo and her father had crafted for her back then—and then took out "Pale Death," which was made from a Sequence 1 Pale Emperor characteristic.
After crushing the "Sage Frontlet" on the spot, she began to concoct the Sage Potion.
Soon, a bottle of "Sage Potion" bubbling with spirituality, each bubble containing a transparent eye, appeared in Bernadette's hand.
Without any hesitation, Bernadette, with a resolute expression, raised her right hand and drank the potion in one gulp.
She needed to advance.
She knew that in this incredibly cruel world, she had to advance to angel before the apocalypse to protect herself, to potentially save her father, to help her godfather, and to protect those she wanted to protect.
After drinking the Sage Potion, Bernadette's body became ethereal at a visible speed.
It was difficult for outsiders to imagine what Bernadette was experiencing at this moment; it was a transformation from a human into vast and complex knowledge, while all surrounding things became various forms of knowledge.
If she could not maintain her will in this situation, she would fail to advance within seconds and turn into a monster called a "Knowledge Fairy."
Fortunately, Bernadette's will was firm enough, her preparations were thorough, and her luck was also very good.
Soon, her state stabilized, and she began to reconstruct her body while resisting the ancient will that was forming within her.
And at this moment, waves of hidden external information suddenly appeared, attempting to fuse with her while Bernadette was reconstructing her body—this was the Mystery Pryer pathway's remnant, the Hidden Sage, causing trouble.
Bernadette, however, was not flustered in the slightest, because the moment the Hidden Sage attempted to merge with her, the bracelet on her wrist, which she had not removed even during her advancement and which Lin Ruo had crafted to isolate pollution, suddenly emitted a soft glow.
The will from the Hidden Sage disappeared without any resistance, like frost in the sunlight, leaving only a pure, harmless informational cluster.
Bernadette also seized this opportunity to reconstruct her body in one go and, with the help of her anchor, initially balanced the ancient will that had formed within her.
"Finally…" Bernadette exhaled.
She, no, He raised his hand, grasped the informational cluster left by the Hidden Sage, extracted the important information from it, and then returned from the Spirit World to reality, beginning to familiarize himself with his new state.
…
At the same moment, in a place far from Backlund.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Azik, I will definitely repay your life-saving kindness," Patrick Bryan said sincerely, though he had been prepared to sacrifice himself to awaken the Death Consul earlier, now that the ritual had failed, he naturally wished to live.
"Don't thank me.
I saved you because I want to understand some things from you."
Azik was originally trying hard to recall if he knew the 'woman' who had suddenly appeared, directly destroyed the altar, and then looked deeply at him, causing him to instinctively grab Patrick Bryan and leave in a chilling sensation.
Hearing his words, he immediately snapped back to attention and said with a cold expression.
This was not to say that he suddenly recovered a lot of memories and instantly became the former Death Consul; rather, he was deliberately feigning it.
This was the script Lin Ruo had created for him.
In a place like the Numinous Episcopate, if one wanted to seize something, being gentle and affectionate was useless; compared to Azik's usual demeanor, the posture of a Death Consul was naturally more suitable.
"Ah?" Patrick Bryan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then please ask.
As long as I don't involve things that cannot be spoken of, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"How much do you know about the Death Consul?" Azik asked, his voice faint.
—That's right, his script was that after awakening from many years of slumber, he had lost many memories and some of his power, so he intended to contact the Numinous Episcopate to search for the past Death Consul.
Well, apart from the deliberately cold demeanor and hidden true purpose, everything else was actually real.
This was what could best withstand the Numinous Episcopate' investigation.
Lin Ruo would not underestimate these secret organizations too much.
And with this identity and purpose, Azik's joining the Numinous Episcopate would become a matter of course.
