Devil's Bible

Chapter 288 The Church Needs This Kind of Personnel

The clergy who were outside were also taken aback when they saw this, but they still recorded the scene reflected in space.

They then rushed into the church district and found that it had been almost completely destroyed, with hardly any architectural remains left.

First, there was a huge circular crater, followed by a large amount of seawater, and corpses and unconscious people lying everywhere.

There were signs of battle everywhere.

Some priests who weren't very strong even felt dizzy when they first entered.

They later discovered that the element concentration in this place was too high.

So much so that their not-so-strong bodies couldn't withstand it and experienced an oxygen-induced intoxication reaction.

Realizing this, the less capable clergy quickly withdrew, allowing those with slightly more strength to investigate.

However, after using their divine magic to revive some people, the news they received shocked them greatly.

Before they could even think about it...

Soon, the oppressive aura of the Golden Seed arrived.

And this time it's not just one golden seed, but two.

Two different factions of the Golden Seed, Gilliman and Gotthard, arrived here at the same time.

Judging from their speed, they shouldn't be too far from Baiwei Town. They rushed over here almost immediately after the matter was over.

They also brought with them a large number of steel-type clergy.

Their strong support instantly accelerated the rescue progress.

All the individuals who were still alive and had the potential to be saved were rescued.

The remaining bodies were also collected and disposed of.

Subsequently, all relevant personnel were detained, and no related information was allowed to be leaked.

As the person who had woken up recounted what they had seen and heard, both Killieman and Gotthard's expressions turned grim.

Neither Killieman nor Gotthard ever truly thought highly of Nems.

In their understanding, Nems was of limited ability and was essentially a pawn in their game of power and a means to resolve church issues.

However, it was this very piece that caused them to suffer such a great loss.

Rhine died, Parson of the great noble Levin family died, Isabella from the mysterious family died, and a noble family of holy blood was wiped out.

A large number of church members died.

The last time the church suffered such a great loss was decades ago during the Gemini Demons.

And all of this was done by Nems, whom they considered unqualified.

This was like a heavy punch to their faces.

More importantly, Nems managed to escape.

The sacred wish ritual, which was thought to be sure to succeed by combining the bloodline of Niton, failed inexplicably.

Given how things have turned out, even they will likely face accountability from the church.

"Nemus... Nemus!" However, as Gold Saints, they still maintained their composure.

Killieman kept repeating the name, and then gradually learned some of the background information.

His gaze involuntarily turned to Gotthard.

"He seemed to be the rising star of your ruling faction, right?" As golden beings, their thinking speed and memory are extraordinary, and they can easily recall various information from the past.

Nemus, as a former genius paladin, is quite famous.

Just when he was at the crucial moment of his advancement to the Gold rank, he inexplicably disappeared without a trace. This led many to speculate that Nemus had failed in his advancement and was too ashamed to face anyone.

Even the An family temporarily cut off contact with the outside world after that and stopped attending various aristocratic banquets.

"So that's why we suddenly lost contact. Turns out she was turned into a prayer angel." Guilliman glanced at Gotthard to the side.

He knows this person best.

Gotthard appears to be very approachable, as if he has no airs at all, and can talk to anyone on an equal footing.

However, Gotthard was actually the most arrogant person.

He treats everyone equally because he arrogantly believes that no one else, regardless of their status, can compare to him.

If that's the case, then everyone can be treated equally.

It was this arrogance that caused him to erupt into a terrifying rage when he encountered real provocation.

“Nemes, I didn’t pay much attention back then.” Gotthard’s face remained expressionless, but this very lack of expression contradicted his usual affable demeanor and instead revealed his unusual state.

"However, judging from his ability to transform from a prayer angel into a demon, it seems he has some understanding of the Abyss War," Gotthard said. For the upper echelons of the church, apart from some saints and some immortals, their status is the most noble, so they are actually aware of all kinds of information.

The church's problems did not begin just after the Battle of the Abyss four years ago; the church began to differ from what it was hundreds of years ago long before.

If it were a hundred or two hundred years ago, Nemus would most likely not have been made into a prayer angel.

Unfortunately, Nemes was born in the wrong era, and his disrespect for God was far too obvious.

Back then, Nems had a strong sense of confidence that he would change the world and that he was the master of world trends.

This cooperation, which he intentionally or unintentionally conveyed some ideas, aroused suspicion from all sides.

If Nemus were weaker, it would be fine, but he only took a little over twenty years to grow into the best of the Iron type and begin preparing to advance to Gold.

This qualification is terrifying.

Hence the current result.

Gotthard didn't say these things directly, but when he mentioned the Battle of the Abyss, Guilliman stopped bringing it up to mock Gotthard.

He understood the meaning behind those words.

The war in the abyss is not something that can be started immediately.

There must have been a lot of preparation beforehand.

Even the Holy Son Project can be considered as pre-planning.

Nemes is known as the Prayer Angel, which can also be considered a form of preparation.

When it comes to God's overall strategy and direction, finding fault with it is pointless.

"Has the condition of the Holy Son Naim been checked?" Gotthard asked.

He had met the Holy Son once before and believed that the Holy Son's inability to ascend to sainthood was a waste of resources.

However, this idea is no longer very effective now.

“There’s no problem,” Killieman said. Although they belong to different factions, this kind of information still needs to be shared.

“He used the Dartmenley family’s holy blood potion, so his holy power was transformed into another state.”

"In addition, there are historical fluctuations within his body, making him almost a legendary species."

"What do we do?" Gotthard stood up and gazed into the distance.

“The church needs talent now, especially talent that can quickly form combat power,” Guilliman gave his answer, and Gotthard nodded in agreement.
