Chapter 336 Archbishop Antony's Response
Prince Grove had just left Sodraco Palace and was on his way to MI9 when he naturally learned the location of the Gnostic Witch Christina—128 Earl's Avenue, North District!
Is this the effect of that pen? I'm already a Sequence 3 "Chaos Hunter," and yet it managed to implant thoughts into my mind without me even realizing it! It's terrifying!
Previously, Prince Grove had only heard about Ince Zangwill's descriptions and had no direct experience of how terrifying 008 was, but now he could finally experience it firsthand.
This kind of unpredictable ability is impossible to guard against and can really kill people invisibly!
Prince Grove was terrified, yet also somewhat exhilarated!
On the one hand, with 008 on their side, they are practically invincible, and he won't have to become a scapegoat afterward.
On the other hand, he was more confident in George III's plan to ascend to godhood!
The thought that a god would appear in the Augustus family, making the Augustus family the number one family to rule the entire world, and that he and his relatives could also ascend to heaven and become angels or even archangels in the future, made Prince Grove's steps much lighter!
Prince Grove quickly used the seal that covered the entirety of Backlund to teleport to MI9.
While reorganizing his troops, he sent a telegram to the Church of the Night, inviting Archbishop Anthony to join him in hunting down the Sequence 3 witch of the Gnostic Order.
Christina!
At that moment, Evan also arrived at MI9.
The two exchanged a glance, then parted ways without warning, and later bumped into each other in Evan's office!
"I've brought your true form with me, and I hope that once you regain your strength, you can actively promote the great uprising and complete the population eradication."
And ultimately, destroy the evidence!
As he spoke, Prince Grove pulled out a wallet from his person and opened it in front of Evan, revealing a suit of armor in Evan's office!
Evan's eyes were immediately drawn to the armor floating in mid-air, so much so that he forgot to say anything nice!
This is a suit of iron-black armor, exuding a cold and mysterious aura.
Its material seems to be forged from the strongest steel, and its deep iron-black color shimmers with a cold light under the light, like a cold star in the night.
The armor plates are tightly connected, each one meticulously crafted with a unique shape and texture, and covered with mysterious symbols!
It exudes a powerful and majestic aura. Anyone who faces it feels that it is not just a suit of armor, but also a symbol of courage and strength, carrying the warrior's beliefs and determination.
This is the "Level 1" sealed artifact, Bonaparte's Steadfastness, which left a glorious mark on history and was created by the greatest "craftsman" of the Fifth Age, Emperor Roselle!
The extraordinary properties that created this sealing artifact originated from Bonaparte Witte, the last loyal subject of the Kingdom of Intis!
After Rosell staged a coup, dethroning the Solon family, and with most political forces and armies under threat from a coalition of nations, and with the strong support of the Church of Steam and Machines and the silence of the Church of the Eternal Sun, they declared their allegiance to the republic established by Rosell.
Only General Bonaparte Witte, stationed in Neon, the second largest city in Intis, refused to pledge allegiance. Instead, while Rosell was preoccupied with other matters, he launched attacks on various fronts and supported a collateral member of the Solon family to ascend the throne!
Just when everyone thought Intis was about to perish amid internal and external troubles, Roselle managed to disintegrate the coalition through diplomatic means within a month and launched a preemptive strike, repelling the most resolute Fussac Empire.
With the external threat eliminated, Russell's prestige reached its peak, and Witte Bonaparte's restoration efforts naturally came to an end!
With Roselle's army entering "Neon" with the help of an inside man, Vitus Bonaparte launched a desperate charge against him, becoming the first demigod to die at Roselle's hands.
Roselle greatly admired Vitus Bonaparte's unwavering spirit. After becoming an angel, he used Bonaparte's extraordinary qualities and spirit after his death to mold him into his servant, which he then casually gave to the Silver Witch!
To be honest, every time Evan read about Vitus Bonaparte's deeds in history books, and thought about the living characteristics that had now become the core of 'Amon's' clone, he felt very uncomfortable.
Because in his eyes, the living characteristic of "Bonaparte's perseverance" is that of a shameless and unscrupulous sycophant!
This is by no means the result of the "City of Calamity's" training; it was always like this!
Thinking of the name "Bonaparte's Perseverance," Evan sensed Roselle's deep-seated wickedness and hidden hatred!
Russell created "Bonaparte's Steadfastness" in this way, transforming its living characteristics into this form, entirely out of revenge!
It seems that the Iron Knight named Vitus Bonaparte really caused Rosell a lot of trouble back then, otherwise Rosell wouldn't hate him so much that he wouldn't let him go even after he's dead, and would even give him such a name!
Evan stepped forward and stroked the armor in front of him, wondering to himself if he could still push open the coffin lid and resurrect Rosell!
As Evan stroked the armor in front of him, his body and the armor glowed with a scarlet light, echoing each other!
The full suit of armor seemed to come alive, trembling slightly, like a steel behemoth that had just awakened.
Suddenly, a soft humming sound rang out, and the various parts of the armor seemed to receive some mysterious command, and began to move slowly.
The breastplate first detached from its original position, gracefully tracing an arc in the air, and then precisely adhered to Evan's chest, changing with Evan's body shape, fitting perfectly as if it had always belonged there.
Next, the backplate followed, covering the key areas of the back with the same precision. The shoulder and upper armplates flew in one after another, fitting precisely into place and seamlessly connecting with the chestplate, without hindering the movement of the arms in the slightest.
The waist and abdomen supports are equally impressive; they move quickly and securely around the waist, firmly protecting the core areas of the body.
At the same time, it ensures that no restrictions are imposed on the operation.
Finally, the helmet, like a king's crown, slowly descended and landed steadily on Evan's head.
The entire suit of armor fit perfectly, as if it were custom-made for Evan, and exuded a cold and majestic aura, as if it had become one with Evan, ready to meet the upcoming battle and challenge at any time.
At the same time, Evan's entire body was radiating intense heat, which made Prince Grove, who was standing to the side, feel unbearable and involuntarily take several steps back!
Prince Grove was not surprised to see how well "Evan" matched the sealed artifact.
Because in his mind, this armor and the current "Evan" were originally one, so no matter what unusual things happened,
Everything will be perfectly normal!
Prince Grove looked at Evan's armor with a pang of heartache, for he had once worn it in battle, and thanks to Evan's previous cooperation, there were no side effects, allowing him to wreak havoc on the battlefield and be invincible—it was incredibly exhilarating. It was just a pity that he would never have such an opportunity again.
"This is all for His Majesty's grand plan!"
Prince Grove reluctantly withdrew his gaze, comforting himself inwardly.
"Time is running out. I need to go to the Cathedral of Saint Seliger now to hold off Archbishop Antony. You should adjust to your current strength."
Let's go to the East District and instigate a major riot!
Aim to break out the riot within an hour, while the Witch Cult's "Desperate Nightingale" Panatia will unleash the plague to support your operation!
Evan stretched his body, then said with a smile:
"I understand. Don't worry, we'll definitely succeed tonight!"
Prince Grove, unable to linger, left Evan's office. Just as he arrived before the assembled Extraordinary troops, an officer ran up with a telegram from Archbishop Anthony, expressing his willingness to assist His Highness in capturing the Gnostic witch, Christina.
Prince Grove was overjoyed upon receiving the reply telegram. He didn't bother with any instructions and immediately led his team and the activated seals toward the Church of St. Serena!
Evan also concealed his armor and headed to the East District!
Klein used the pre-prepared carriage to reach the North District. Although he personally delivered the letter of denunciation to Archbishop Simon of the Storm Church, Klein still dared not be careless.
Because he understood that his enemy was the royal family of Rune—the Augustus family.
An angelic family whose power in Backlund is likely greater than the combined power of the three major churches!
He wouldn't forget that Augustus I, the founding emperor of the Kingdom of Rune, might still be in Backlund.
Therefore, in order to prevent Archbishop Simon from being assassinated, and to make the Augustus family more hesitant to act, he also had to send the letter of denunciation to the Church of the Goddess of Night!
The North District is a large residential area in Backlund with few hotels and mostly guesthouses, all of which are well-managed. To avoid potential trouble or to prevent causing problems for others later, Klein cannot go there.
However, this did not stump Klein. He had scouted the location long ago and found a house. The owner of the house had moved to the Southern Continent with his family, and the house had been put up for sale by him and was currently vacant!
After Klein climbed over the wall and entered, he followed the same procedure as before, summoning himself to contain the "Black Emperor" card and heading towards the Cathedral of Saint Seliger!
Although he didn't understand what the Goddess of the Night meant, Klein knew that he was a true chosen one of the goddesses.
Although this identity as a follower cannot be openly revealed due to the goddess's attitude, it is believed that the goddess would not allow her followers to clash with her subordinates.
Therefore, Klein doesn't need to go through as much trouble to inform the Church of the Goddess of the Night as he does to the Church of the Storm; he can simply go directly to their door!
To be honest, without the groundwork laid by the incident at the Capin Villa, Klein was really afraid that he would be struck dead by lightning the moment he appeared in front of Archbishop Simon!
Upon arriving at St. Samuel's Cathedral, Klein found it filled with worshippers coming and going. Unsurprised, he relied on his memories of previous visits and his familiarity with the Night Watch's quarters to find an angle and slip through the wall from the side.
Ready to head straight to the night watchman's rest room!
But as soon as he entered the night watchman's rest room, he found it packed with people, all of them fully armed, as if they were going to participate in some kind of operation.
He also spotted three very familiar faces in the crowd: Dunn Smith, Leonard Mitchell, and Daly Simone!
The Red Gloves members, who had gathered together, were also startled by the sudden appearance of the "Black Emperor" ghost. Before they could even think about why the church's defensive formation had failed, they immediately launched an attack on Klein!
Only Dunn Smith urgently stretched out his hands to stop his teammates from falling into his trap!
"stop!"
A calming voice rang out, quickly quelling the emotions of the Red Gloves members, who ceased their attack and dispersed, leaving a space in front of them. Although these well-trained Red Gloves obeyed the order to stop attacking, they all watched the mysterious spirit with wary eyes, gripping their pistols tightly, ready to fire a burst at the slightest sign of trouble!
Only Dunn Smith and Leonard, along with Mitchell, stared intently at Klein from afar, their brows furrowed.
Klein felt the light around him suddenly disappear, and the room with the gas lamp lit was suddenly swallowed by darkness. But everything suddenly returned to normal. In front of the Red Gloves members was a person wearing a priest's robe, with a white face, no beard, and deep eyes. It was Archbishop Anthony, the highest-ranking person in Backlund for the Church of the Goddess of Night!
"Uninvited guest, what brings you here?"
Archbishop Anthony spoke in a gentle tone, showing no sign of anger at Klein for trespassing into St. Samuel's Cathedral!
Klein was not surprised by this. He simply placed his left hand on his chest and bowed to the archbishop. Then he took out the prepared letter of denunciation from his body.
The archbishop, completely unsuspecting, took the letter and tore it open to read it right in front of him!
Unlike before, Klein didn't leave immediately after dropping off the whistleblower letter. Instead, he waited there to see how Archbishop Anthony would handle the situation!
Archbishop Anthony's smile vanished abruptly, and everyone present felt an unprecedented chill in their spirits, their hearts filled with an unparalleled fear!
Just then, a priest entered and said to Archbishop Anthony:
"Prince Grove has arrived!"
Archbishop Anthony looked up at Klein and asked seriously:
"You were the one who caused that commotion. Did you notify the Storm Church?"
Klein nodded quickly, but at the same time, a sense of unease crept into his heart!
"Dunne Smith told you to activate the seal 1-63 and take all the squad members out through the secret passage to the East District!"
At the same time, a telegram was sent to Archbishop Horamik of the Church of Steam and Mechanics, informing him of a major event occurring in the Eastern District that evening and urging him to attend immediately.
