The Archbishop could not help feeling an ominous premonition brewing in her heart.

Strictly speaking, there was no basis for her to feel this way. This was merely a piece of treasure. If it was destroyed, then so be it; it should not be such a great deal, right? Given her identity and status, if she had the intention of collecting treasures of such standard, while she dared not say that she would be able to collect a great amount, getting ahold of ten to 20 of such treasures was certainly not worth mentioning.

But other than a few squirrel-like people who crazily hoarded treasures, no one else could be so bored as to think of collecting so many treasures. Owning around three to five pieces was more than enough, so long as the treasures suited one’s needs. Even the Greek god, Hercules, owned nothing more than a handful of treasures. Treasures owned would eventually pile up, where one would even lose track of the treasures under one’s possessions. The reason for their existence was only to serve as a treasure vault that could provide the value for experience.

But some treasures were different.

For example, the Scarlet Venomous Python Wand.

The Church of the God of Aristocracy had been established for nearly 300 years, and with the Church of the God of Royalty as its predecessor, its family heritage ran deep and long. The Jewel of Heaven’s Wrath was a precious stone of such a level that no one could ever own too many of it, but on the other hand, the Scarlet Venomous Python Wand was at a level that was often seen.

But this wand held a special significance to the Archbishop. It could be said to be a symbol of the first half of her life.

Back then, she was also an ordinary young maiden filled with integrity and innocence. Yet after that fateful adventure, she truly realized the darkness and cruelty of society. Since then, she had turned over a new leaf—or perhaps, this phrase should not be used as such—she had repented through her misdeeds and made a determined effort to turn over a new leaf, and she quickly became a successful person. Twenty years later, she had become a clergyman at the advanced legendary peak and received much adoration from Her Majesty of the Holy Kingdom of Noble Maids, who was yet to be sealed as a god at that time. Upon her return after seeking vengeance, she helped Her Majesty incorporate the Church of the God of Royalty into their own church, thus establishing her status within the Church of the God of Aristocracy. She became the successor when the first generation Archbishop passed away.

That was something that happened hundreds of years ago, but still, everything was vivid in her mind. All these years, she had kept the Scarlet Venomous Python Wand by her side. It had weathered countless ups and downs and participated in numerous battles with her. It had always been intact, but this day, it was destroyed…

Maybe… this is an omen. The God of Fate is using this to remind me, tonight is the day I must return to my God’s Kingdom…

Though thoughts were running through her mind, she showed no nervousness or worry on her face. Gloomily, she looked across her, and after a while, she said, “Those clones sent down by the God of Knowledge are very powerful.”

“Yes, it won’t be easy to deal with them,” said the middle-aged man, who was the leader of the trio consisting of the elderly man, the middle-aged man, and the jolly green fellow. He continued to say, “Even if it were me, it would still be difficult to destroy that magic wand with one strike.”

“But it’s not impossible,” said the jolly green fellow from the trio.

Yes, it was not impossible. To these Legendary Masters who had been famous for so many years, so long as they were prepared beforehand, this magic wand would not become a big problem.

Although so much was said, everyone still wore worried expression.

Those Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Church of the God of Knowledge who had agreed to be possessed by a descending god, all had powers that were at least comparable to that of established Legendary Masters.

This was not good news at all!

Amidst their shock and worry, everyone was, on the contrary, feeling a tad bit thankful.

In general, after using the Jewel of Heaven’s Wrath to wield the Punishing Fist of Heaven, the next step would be to launch an aggressive attack. Yet the Archbishop had chosen to test the waters again. This time around, when she did so, she lost a legendary weapon but managed to find out the most formidable means of the Church of the God of Knowledge.

Without a question, if they were to directly attack a moment ago, by now, more than half would have been met with trouble. What a great loss that would be!

“Normally, when possessed by a descending god, how powerful can one get?” asked one of the youngest Legendary Masters after a few minutes. He was a berserker warrior who seemed to be even stronger than a wild boar, but he asked in a cautious tone.

In return, he saw dejected looks all over his comrades’ faces and heard the bitter laugh of helplessness from his own leader.

“Usually, a body that is possessed by the clone of a descending god would most probably only be at the junior legendary level. Masters at this level, even if there were six of them would still not be a big deal,” the elderly man of the trio replied with a sigh, “because if the three of us combined forces, we would be able to annihilate all of them.”

“But the situation is different for the other side, right?” asked the berserker. He was no fool, and he had asked the most crucial question.
