Chapter 455: Chapter 431: Differences

The influence of the True Gods Church spread not only throughout the entire Konrad World but had also propagated their faith in other worlds, though the Konrad World remained the primary stronghold of the True Gods.

The Salvation Church, the Sun Church, and the Reforging Church—these three True Gods Churches held powers that were undoubtedly beyond the reach of the small eastern nation of Cyart.

The murder of a regional bishop was unquestionably a grave incident, and it quickly shocked the inner ranks of the Salvation Church.

Thus, the bishops from the three True Gods Churches promptly came knocking.

Inside the grand hall of Fischer Manor, Christine and Darren were unusually solemn, fully aware that even without the True Gods Churches deploying their Heavenly Enlightenment Level legends, they were still a formidable force that Cyart could not contend against.

“They’ve arrived, they are now not far outside the manor,” a servant reported respectfully as he entered the room.

Darren nodded slightly and walked out, while Christine was wheeled out by Andre.

As they arrived outside the manor to greet them, they saw three distinctly different convoys. At that moment, Darren heard a voice filled with fury coming from the leading carriage,

“Duke Darren Fischer! I know it was you who killed the bishop of the Salvation Church!”

He immediately looked over and saw a man stepping out of the carriage, an enraged interlocutor dressed in a white robe, his face full of hatred, a tall old man with sparse hair but eyes filled with discontent.

The tall old man continued:

“To kill a servant of the Divine unilaterally is undeniably a great disrespect to the Divine, thus the Fischer family must atone!”

It was this guy, Darren quickly recalled the detailed information about the other party.

The man before him was another bishop of the Salvation Church in Rhea, his name Orlin Gallo, known as the “White Steel Blade,” a mid-level Monarch, an Extraordinarily powerful expert.

It seemed that he had worked in Rhea alongside the “Hand of Salvation,” whom Darren had killed, sharing decades of deep friendship.

The two were undoubtedly close friends, so this man looked upon Darren as if he were seeing an enemy.

“Not just ‘as if’… I am indeed this guy’s enemy,” Darren mused silently to himself.

He didn’t respond immediately but turned to look at the two others who had arrived, the bishops of the Reforging Church and the Sun Church.

From Karania, Bishop Marne of the Reforging Church had come. He was a man in his thirties, wearing red, expressionless except for his eyes, which had a peculiar alien-like oddity. His whole body was tightly wrapped in clothes, leaving only his head exposed. His moniker was “Steam Man.”

Since “Steam Man” had recently become a bishop of the Reforging Church, there was little information about him.

The last person was a female from the Sun Church, dressed in splendid gold and white garments, a very pale-skinned half-elf.

She was not only beautiful but also had a cunning intelligence in her eyes; every move she made was full of a high-level Monarch’s demeanor, and almost every action exuded nobility and propriety, evidently well-educated.

She was a famous figure in the Sun Church, “Holy Light” Bishop Karania, born into one of Lorne’s most prestigious noble families, the “Sun Bird,” and was also the only high-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponent among the three.

As “Holy Light,” a bishop of the Sun Church with a great chance of becoming one of the Cardinals, she always held a position of significant status and power.

The expressionless “Steam Man” Bishop Marne stared at Darren Fischer, while Darren wore an unusually friendly smile.

“The arrival of the three of you truly honors and moves us! Praise be to the Gods!”

Marne simply shook his head gently and said calmly, “There’s no need for those words…”

“Let’s discuss something important.”

“A terrible bloody conflict recently erupted in Rhea, claiming the lives of three Rhea Extraordinary nobilities and one of the bishops of the Salvation Church.”

“Although there were no eyewitnesses left and the remains and traces of the battle were completely obliterated, we have reason to deduce that the culprit was a Cyart person.”

The National Defense Barrier, despite its capability to locate powerful beings, fundamentally could not precisely determine the identity of the other party.
