Chapter 472: Chapter 446 Responsibility

Felix didn’t hesitate and immediately went to the site where the ritual was about to take place.

It was located several miles outside the military camp, and it appeared to have been set up for quite some time.

He quickly saw the specifics, only to realize that it was not a sacrifice being made, but a certain ritual being arranged, with an alchemy array inscribed on the ground, filled with complex spells.

“Alchemy?”

Because followers of the Reforging Church also heavily researched alchemy, even hoping to incorporate it into the system of the Reforging Church, Felix recognized it at a glance.

This was an alchemy array of immense scale, very complex and exquisitely detailed, and it seemed to have been directly transplanted from somewhere else.

“Can there actually be an alchemy array of such a level in existence?”

The more he looked, the more fascinated he became as the alchemy array before his eyes was too exquisite. To anyone who had studied alchemy, it seemed like a near-perfect work of art, instantly captivating those who understood it.

“What kind of alchemy array is this, what is it used to refine, and why is there such an alchemy array here?”

Felix murmured to himself, subconsciously kneeling before the alchemy array, wanting to reach out and touch it but then retracting his hand, fearing that he might affect the various precise effects of the highest-level alchemy array.

It was then that cries and wails reached his ears.

“No… something’s not right.”

Felix suddenly awoke from his fascination, shaking his head and surveying his surroundings.

Thousands of Cyart people were being driven here by Vallere citizens, while the King of Vallere, Leader of the Reconstruction Army Agata, and the Cardinal of the Reforging Church, “The Destroyer,” all watched this scene.

Afterward, “The Destroyer” looked toward him.

“Felix, you’ve arrived too, look… This is an alchemy array left by the Heavenly Enlightenment, and soon the ultimate alchemical creation will be born from here, provided we offer enough souls.”

“The Destroyer” also showed an obsessed emotion, which was a rare exposure of huge emotion from him, a person almost devoid of feelings.

In fact, whether it was alchemy or technology, for any replicable and deconstructable, learnable new technologies, “The Destroyer” always had an incomprehensible passion that others found difficult to understand!

He continued to speak.

“Although it’s not very clear why, the King of Vallere encountered a being of the Heavenly Enlightenment Level in the Spirit Realm and obtained this incredible alchemy… it’s simply a miracle!”

“We only need to offer enough souls to witness the birth of the legendary Philosopher’s Stone!”

“Souls…”

Felix turned his head to look at those crying and wailing people; they were Cyart people, men and women, old and young, even mothers holding infants.

The captives gathered together, huddling with each other, their eyes filled with helplessness and fear, tears swirling in their eyes, loudly expressing their pain and sorrow.

The children’s cries were particularly piercing; they didn’t fully understand what was happening, but the environment around them caused them to cry heartbreakingly. Mothers held their children tightly, touching their heads with trembling hands trying to console them with tender words, but their own tears had already broken through, unable to restrain themselves. The men tried to hold back their tears, silently praying for redemption to come, helplessly waiting for outside help to rescue them from this sea of suffering.

“No, this can’t be!”

Felix suddenly became furious, as the most important thing in his life was “responsibility.”

And since the Fischer family were rulers of the Cyart people, deep down in his heart, he always believed that he was responsible for all Cyart people!

So he tried to persuade “The Destroyer,” saying, “Stop this! Your Eminence, Cardinal! Those Cyart people are innocent!”

The King of Vallere immediately looked at him, his tone laced with malice, “What are you talking about? Bishop Felix, don’t tell me your position isn’t firm even at this moment?”

“I understand now; after all, you are a member of the Fischer family, is that the reason?”

“Are you our friend or our enemy?” he aggressively queried.

“The Destroyer” remained silent, only staring at Felix.

Felix shook his head and said, “In fact, we in the Reforging Church hope to dedicate the whole of Cyart to our great God of Reforging, and to turn those Cyart people into our followers.”

“Our enemy is only the Fischer family and the forces that rely on them, not every single Cyart person!”

“The Destroyer” still stared at him, his icy gaze containing an almost inhuman indifference, and he said quietly:

“Felix.”

“While it’s not me who is initiating the ritual but the King of Vallere, I want to make it clear to you, that I also agree with the commencement of the ritual…”

“The Philosopher’s Stone, that is the legendary miracle, a thing that can realize any wish!”

His voice trembled slightly, all four arms shaking, and beneath the iron mask, there seemed to be fervor and heat.
