Free Web NovelChapter 798: Chapter 480: Goddess of Death, Yet Still a Young Girl
And from Alice’s perspective, everything was very peaceful. The inauguration ceremony of the War God High Priest was proceeding in an orderly fashion according to the original plan. Even several high-ranking members of the War God Church, whom Alice had seen as corpses through the puppet’s view in the War God Temple, now appeared vividly before her.
The disguise technology of the Descent Association.
No, to be precise, this is the authentic Disguiser.
Alice was the first to discover the Disguiser, while Aivia was the first to notice that something was amiss.
Both sides almost simultaneously became vigilant.
However, at this moment, Harms’ powerful aura had already enveloped the entire scene.
Previously, there might have been some hesitation, especially as the "Twilight Saintess" hadn’t regained her strength. As long as the Popes of these two churches summoned their respective gods, it would be a foregone conclusion of defeat for the humans, even at the extreme fourteenth level, when facing two gods.
But now it was different. Daylight and Thunder had fallen into slumber due to the Divine War, so as long as Lady Saintess could hold off the War God, Harms was confident he could kill all the remaining people.
Yet, using these people’s lives as nourishment would bolster the "Twilight Saintess" in her battle against the War God, making it easy for her to defeat him.
This was Harms’ surefire plan!
Harms unabashedly explained his plan in front of the puppet.
His smug and crazed demeanor made Alice’s expression rather grim.
Originally, she was contemplating whether there might be some use for the Pseudo-Dusk Council, despite their shaky foundation, as they also recognized the Twilight Saintess, which made them rare allies on the Dawn Continent.
But after witnessing Harms’ madness, Alice changed her mind.
At least such a lunatic couldn’t be left alone.
However, Alice did not immediately guide the puppet to self-destruct.
Firstly, how much harm a puppet’s self-destruction could do to the fourteenth-level Harms was completely uncertain, and secondly, in dealing with such a lunatic, the title of "Twilight Saintess" was clearly far more useful than a close-range explosion assassination.
But the premise was that Alice’s liquid puppet could survive in the War God’s Divine Realm.
The War God’s Divine Realm would block all extraordinary powers, naturally including the connection between Alice and the puppet. If the War God were still perfectly alive at this moment, the puppet would instantly detach from Alice’s control upon entering the War God Realm, and she would lose a crucial method to control Harms.
But if she showed any intention to retreat now, it would undoubtedly arouse Harms’ suspicion. The puppet’s disguise would be easily uncovered with a simple probing attack.
[Alice chooses to believe in you.]
[Alice directed the puppet to walk into the War God’s Divine Realm.]
[The moment Alice stepped into the Divine Realm, she didn’t feel she’d lost control over the puppet.]
[This indicated that this Divine Realm didn’t sever the link with extraordinary powers.]
[According to Alice’s knowledge, the War God’s Divine Realm was a mandatory passive isolation, not controlled by War God Balgas.]
[The Divine Realm before her was not the War God’s Divine Realm!]
The answer was correct because this is the Divine Realm of the Goddess of Death, Arianna.
[Alice saw those priests who were supposed to be dead, now standing intact in front of her puppet.]
[The miracle of resurrection occurring suddenly before her left Alice somewhat bewildered.]
[But she no longer had time for bewilderment.]
[Upon seeing the "Twilight Saintess" enter the Divine Realm, Harms tore off his façade without hesitation.]
[A pre-set magic array was activated, and the powerful suppressive effect left the priests present somewhat at a loss.]
[Alice was also a bit surprised, although she knew Harms’ plan, he never mentioned the specifics.]
[Harms’ immense pressure descended overwhelmingly, engulfing the Temple.]
[Killing intent surged towards the strongest Aivia, as long as Aivia was killed, the remaining people were just fish on the chopping board in Harms’ eyes.]
[Aivia launched a counterattack, engaging in a confrontation with Harms.]
While the fighting started on Alice’s side, Shen Sui was actually about to prepare for a duel on this side.
Louise had arrived early at the deck for the match, but she had been waiting for Shen Sui in vain.
Fortunately, Shen Sui, who adhered to principles, appeared just in time on the deck.
On the deck of the Saint Yimiti, there were originally plenty of lounge chairs, tables, and even a massive swimming pool for tourists to relax.
As a result, the organizers had thoughtfully cleared it, making it look more like a place for dueling, not resting. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Upon arriving on the scene, Shen Sui immediately asked the judge for a delay.
In professional matches of the Life Card Duel, this was a relatively common action because you never knew what might suddenly happen in the Soul Card World. Not everyone had absolute control over their Soul Cards, not even Shen Sui.
Uh...
It seems that Shen Sui is indeed the one who can’t manage it the most. Alice could be said to be the most uncontrollable Soul Card.
However, postponing such a match requires the opponent’s consent. Generally speaking, fellow Life Card Masters wouldn’t intentionally make things difficult for the opponent. In doing so, both sides would undoubtedly become enemies, and there’s no need to make enemies over such matters.
Louise naturally agreed.
Thus, Shen Sui gained some time to handle matters on the Dawn Continent.
In fact, if he was really in a hurry, Shen Sui could have intervened personally.
As long as he took action, even if the War God was still alive, he could have razed the entire War God Church.
But returning for such a matter would make him look like a less imposing Twilight Bishop.
Moreover, it didn’t seem as if Alice was completely helpless.
Thanks to Shen Sui, Arianna was very passionate towards Alice’s puppet, almost to the point where Alice was bewildered by it.
[Alice was looking at the girl standing before her puppet and was thinking about the knowledge of gods in her mind.]
The present Alice was no longer the same as before.
After undergoing a baptism of knowledge from the Roland Magic Academy and the Thunder Church’s intelligence library, Alice was at least knowledgeable in the Dawn Continent.
Nevertheless, Alice still couldn’t match the girl before her with any godly figure in her memory during that short period.
Yet, the girl in front of her was clearly the owner of this Divine Realm.
And on Alice’s side, as the War God High Priest Harms clashed with the Daylight Pope Aivia, priests from both sides had already begun their battle.
Harms hadn’t fully reckoned on Aivia being so powerful; single-handedly halting his offensive, she made this sudden attack appear more like an attack by the War God Church on the Daylight Church, seemingly unrelated to the Thunder Church.
The Thunder Priests seemed to think the same, surprisingly choosing to watch from the sidelines at the battle’s inception.
This finally gave Alice some breathing room to manage both fronts.
Finally, after Arianna voluntarily displayed her iconic Scythe of Death, Alice recognized her identity.
[Why has the Goddess of Death become so youthful?] freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
[Alice was deeply puzzled.]
In fact, this was slightly due to absorbing some of the War God’s divinity, a slight growth; if you had met her earlier, the Goddess of Death would still appear as a young girl to you.
Shen Sui was speechless as he watched Arianna’s various fawning attitudes towards Alice’s puppet.
Come on, although I know you want to flatter me, you don’t have to fawn over even Alice’s puppet, do you?
"I say..." muttered Louise, who was waiting for Shen Sui to finish his affairs in the Soul Card World, a bit confused at his expression. "Is your matter in the Soul Card World really urgent? You don’t seem to be in any hurry at all."
"It’s definitely urgent." Shen Sui raised his head and looked at Louise, saying seriously, "It concerns the end of the world."
"..." Louise was silent for a while, muttering, "This can’t be your tactic."
The psychological tactic is also an indispensable part of the Life Card Duel.
She began to suspect that Shen Sui was intentionally messing with her mind. If it really concerned the end of the world, what’s with your relaxed expression?
