I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Within the sacred city, Count Popo, who spoke nonsense and tried to shake people's hearts, was directly seized by them. The description of the events could only be described as horrifying.

Dazzling light illuminated the entire night sky, turning a territory of tens of kilometers into scorched earth, forming a deadly area. Anyone daring to enter would inexplicably have their bodies decay and die.

Previously, Randall was determined not to believe it. How could a group of wizards hiding overseas for centuries have such great power?

However, at this moment, he had no choice but to believe—they had actually killed the embodiment of the deity!

"My Lord, should we recall the expeditionary force and gather all our strength to eradicate these blasphemers?" Randall suggested.

Even when the kingdom fell before, Randall didn't consider these wizards a threat. But now, it seemed they had enough power to shake the rule of the Holy See and the Empire!

It must be crushed as soon as possible!

"No, a large-scale war is likely to be ineffective!" The Saint shook her head, vetoing Randall's proposal.

The range of that spell was unimaginable, and its power could only be described as terrifying. Even the mere aftermath was something an ordinary bishop couldn't resist.

Randall quickly realized this and his expression became extremely unpleasant.

"My Lord, do you have a way to resist that magic?" Pope Alves suddenly appeared and inquired.

The high-ranking members of the Holy See present all looked at the Saint beneath their gaze.

The Saint remained silent for a moment before speaking. "If I personally intervene, naturally, I can."

Randall and others naturally understood that the "I" referred to the true Moon Goddess, Aila, not the current incarnation. With the affirmative answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their greatest fear was that those wizards would come to the holy city and unleash that terrifying magic while they were defenseless.

Pope Alves was even plunged into deep regret; he had actually wavered in the face of the deity's power just now!

"Such powerful magic cannot be easily cast by those wizards who have not set foot in the legendary realm!" Aila asserted decisively.

There must be some kind of restriction!

"Could it be that they found some special treasures in the wizard's domain?" Saint Randall speculated with a wide-open mind.

It was very likely that this power made those wizards go mad, daring to leave that small island and challenge the dignity of the gods!

The Saint nodded; indeed, that was a possibility.

Due to the extremely critical situation on the battlefield earlier, she had lost some memories in the process of transferring her consciousness back to her true self. So, she only had a vague impression of the battle.

For example, she was finally knocked away by the new-style flying machines of the wizards, and the person casting the spell was a wizard named Lynn who seemed young.

"Send out all the dark guards to investigate one person's information. I want to know everything about him!" The Saint coldly ordered.

"Who?" Pope Alves asked solemnly. He understood that this must be the person who cast the powerful spell and killed the incarnation of the deity.

"The Star of Magic mentioned by those wizards—Lynn!"

The Saint's voice echoed again within the Tower of the Heavens. A ancient holy book floated from Randall's waist, automatically flipping to page seventy-three of the Sinners' Chapter. Lynn's name and information quickly appeared before them. R

"Within ten days, I want to see results! Also, Judge Joshua, send someone to search for his whereabouts. I believe Joshua should still be alive; he may have been captured by those wizards!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will immediately give the orders!" Alves respectfully saluted, quickly extracting important information from it with a sweep of his gaze.

The appearance of the other party was about twenty years old, brown hair. Two and a half years ago, he had appeared in the port town, suspected of secretly plotting to overthrow the Holy See. After being discovered by the local bishop, he directly used magic to destroy half the city, causing thousands of deaths and injuries. Then, he was expelled from Edweil upon arrival!

"My Lord, should we accelerate the collection of faith?" Randall worriedly reminded. "Forgive my offense, but now you need to ascend to the godly throne as soon as possible!"

No one knew exactly how many wizards mastered this magic or if they could use it frequently.

Once they chose to cause large-scale destruction to the entire empire, they would probably be hard-pressed to defend against it!

The deaths of a large number of believers would make their efforts of hundreds of years go in vain...

So, in Randall's view, even if they had to use some unsavory means to catalyze faith, it was worth it!

As long as they could eliminate the poison of faith and let the deity ascend to the godly throne, those wizards could be easily wiped out with a snap of the fingers!

The Saint contemplated for a while, considering the pros and cons of catalyzing faith. This was undoubtedly a desperate move, but now they couldn't care much. The fall of the kingdom and the consecutive defeats of the Holy See's punitive forces had greatly reduced the number of devout believers...

If they continued like this, the goal of one million devout believers would only get farther and farther away.

"Then, let it be arranged by you, Randall!" The Saint quickly made a decision.

"I obey your will!" Randall lightly tapped his chest with his right hand and responded solemnly.

"My Lord, what about the news of the fall of the kingdom and the defeat of the punitive forces? Should it continue to be blocked?" Pope Alves asked.

Both of these pieces of news were undoubtedly shocking. Once exposed, they would inevitably cause a stir within the empire, severely damaging the reputation of the church, and even making believers doubt their faith in the deity.

However, the impact of this war was too significant; the death zone spreading ten kilometers could not be concealed.

"No, there is no need to continue the blockade!" The Saint indifferently said. "Go and tell them that the apocalypse is imminent, and those wizards are the culprits causing the catastrophe!"

Apocalypse?!

The high-ranking members of the Holy See present were all shaken, but soon they realized that this was indeed a 'soothing' method.

The Saint then looked at the opened holy book and gently passed her fingers over the pages.

The information recorded about Lynn was written months ago by Edweil and was already outdated!

Under the radiance of divine light, new information quickly appeared on the paper!
