There was a miserable look on Varantine's face, ”The power of God… had descended to such an extent?”

Facing the great pressure from the Congress, the Church was always trying to get ready whenever a new cognition shift came to them. Through all these theology meetings and discussions, the Church could always find a new explanation based on their previous belief in order to weaken the power of impact.

As the original explanations of the overturned theories most came from the cardinals and bishops, it was not hard for most of the clergy to accept the changes of the theories. At the same time, the dignity of the Pope could thus be maintained, as the Pope was never directly responsible for it.

All the three grand cardinals had attended the meetings which took place a few days ago, and the updated content was not a surprise to them. Varantine was strongly against the modification, however, there was nothing he could really do.

The updated theory believed that there was the law of causality between any things in this world, and the first and foremost reason was God, called First Cause. Meanwhile, when all the laws of the world had been built up, there should be an initial push to drive the world, and, again, God generously offered the push.

Stone, the Four-winged Knight was a bit upset, ”So we should just sit here waiting for some ridiculous chances? We are not going to do anything, right? Again and again, the Congress keeps challenging the dignity of the Lord… What kind of guards of Lord are we?”

Although they believed that it was the radical conservatives in the Church who should be mainly responsible for the great loss, the grand cardinal still regarded the discovery of the new particle as a provocation from the congress.

There was a slight smile on Philibell's face, ”This time, our loss resulted from the leak of information, which in turn shows that the Congress isn't prepared either. They are still working on persuading their own people. So, as we have suffered from the loss and already paid for it, why don't we just publicize the finding of the new particle. After all, many middle and senior-rank mages are taking a much firmer viewpoint on the side of atom theory than us.”

As for the pastors and those in training, they were still studying the development of theology, and thus they would not be affected too much.

”I agree. We can't lose more.” Vaharall nodded, ”We can make a good use of it to strike a blow to the Congress.”

The only thing was that it seemed to be rather weird and even ridiculous that the bishops and pastors started to inform the arcanists and sorcerers new arcana theory.

”We start from Rentato, where the headquarter of the Will of Elements lies.” Varantine suggested, ”Many of those sorcerers from the Will of Elements believe in atom theory.”

Stone showed his support, ”Good plan. But we still have to figure out who found the new particle. We must purify the person!”

...

In a quiet corner close to the Holm Royal Magic Tower, a pastor was promoting the new theology theory to a coachman aloud, while taking a glance from time to time at the gate of the magic tower not far away from them, ”God first created the particles, including atoms. There are also even smaller particles than atoms. God used all the particles to build the world...”

The coachman felt confused. He could not understand the words very well. He was only capable of repeating, ”God is sacred and almighty. God has created the world.”

After a long time, not a single sorcerer came over or even walked by. The young pastor was a bit concerned, ”Why does the tower seem to be so quiet?”

”Sir, I've heard that those sorcerers in the tower are doing some kind of... closed... training.” The coachman grinned, ”I don't really know what it is.”

...

In the Radiance Church, the report that their action had failed soon arrived.

”The Congress is well prepared,” said Philibell seriously. ”Andrade's thing... did not happen by accident.”

Vaharall was responsible for this and he put forward his own thoughts: ”Andrade was indeed a radical conservative. But I don't think it's a mere coincidence that the intelligence happened to arrive at the retreat room when Andrade was on his shift. There are two possibilities: either the senior spy has betrayed us, or the spy has been found out by the Congress, which is using this as their weapon. Also, Andrade's way of thinking is way too radical, I think he was affected by some illusions. Illusion is the most difficult magic to be noticed...”

The study became very quiet. They did not want to face the fact that very likely their senior spy to which they had devoted lots of effort had been exposed.

For many times, they had given up using the senior spy just to protect him!

The grand cardinals started to get quite upset.

All of a sudden, something hit Philibell and he hurriedly took out the original piece of intelligence and started to decode using the rules they had agreed on a long time ago.

Within a minute, Philibell got the short message from the senior spy:

”Win trust.”
