"Let's go, next we'll go find Saint Matthias."

......

Four days later.

Upper level of the west wing of the small garden, outside the 77th gate, the Christian headquarters.

"Um?!"

Peter, the first of the twelve apostles, was suddenly awakened from his deep sleep, his face showing a shocked expression.

"How is this possible! All communication with Simon and the others was severed in an instant?!"

As members of the Twelve Saints, even though they were in very distant places, there was still a subtle connection between them.

If this connection is severed, it's essentially equivalent to a death notice, meaning the other party has completely disappeared from this world.

Seemingly unwilling to believe the result of his perception, Peter released his senses and checked it several more times, his expression growing increasingly grim.

His perception was correct; the connection between the twelve saints had indeed been severed for a moment, with nine of them missing.

After carefully verifying the identities of the nine people who had lost contact, Peter discovered that all nine were actually leaders of the Christian Church at the lower levels.

What this means is naturally self-evident.

"Could it be... that Greece made the move?"

Peter, who had also visited Mount Olympus four days earlier, immediately set his sights on the Greek gods.

"No, we have to tell Michael about this right away."

A faint holy light flashed across his body, and Peter's figure vanished from his spot, reappearing in front of a room.

Time was of the essence, and Peter disregarded etiquette, pushing open the door and entering the room.

"Michael, something terrible has happened!"

Saint Peter?

Michael, who was talking to Gabriel, stopped and looked over in confusion.

"Why are you so distraught? What happened?"

"The lower strata of Christianity have been attacked by the enemy!"

Saint Peter replied directly: "Including Simon and Matthias, a total of nine of the twelve saints have died in battle so far!"

"Please send an envoy immediately to the lower levels to find out the truth!"

Michael: "???"

Nine people?

.......

Chapter 218 It must have been Athena who did it! ( )

"Saint Peter, are you sure your senses aren't malfunctioning?"

At the same moment Michael was stunned, Gabriel, who had been talking to him, came back to his senses.

"If I remember correctly, there are only three saints openly active in the lower levels."

"The remaining six people all disguised their identities and have been operating in the shadows."

To facilitate private matters, Christianity is very strict about maintaining secrecy.

Apart from the chief officials like Raziel and Sariel, even the saints operating in the lower ranks were unaware of the current identities of the others.

If anyone else had said that he could find all the saints at the same time and kill them all, Gabriel would probably have thought they were joking.

"Of course I carefully checked before reporting this kind of thing."

Peter replied with a grim expression, "I can confirm that the nine of them made contact in that instant... Hmm?!"

"what happened?"

Seeing Peter suddenly stop speaking, Gabriel quickly asked him what was wrong.

"Could it be that someone else has died?"

That shouldn't be the case; there are only nine people on the lower level.

If another saint dies, wouldn't that mean the enemy has infiltrated their base?

"It's not that a person died."

Peter shook his head, his previously grim expression suddenly filled with confusion.

“The people have come back to life, and the connection between Simon and me has been fully restored.”

Gabriel: "?"

Michael: "?"

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

"No, let me explain."

Noticing the change in the archangels' gazes, Peter's expression turned somewhat helpless.

"I'm not lying, Simon and the others really did disappear not long ago."

"But just now, halfway through our conversation, I felt their presence again... and then it disappeared again?!"

"It doesn't seem like he's lying."

Michael looked at Gabriel beside him: "It seems there's been an anomaly in the lower levels. Do you think it was done by the Greeks?"

After a moment's thought, Gabriel asked, "When was the last time information came from the lower levels?"

Michael paused for two seconds: "...Four days ago."

Since the conflict with Greece began, he has been plotting with Gabriel how to sabotage the other side.

If the other party hadn't reminded him at this moment, he probably wouldn't have noticed that the usual time for submitting intelligence had already expired.

"It seems there really is a problem at the lower levels."

Gabriel sighed and looked at Peter: "What's the situation now? Can you still sense Simon and the others?"

"I'm... not sure."

Peter was now having a headache: "Simon and the others' presence has been appearing and disappearing intermittently since just now."

"It keeps disappearing and reappearing; I can no longer be sure if there's something wrong with my senses."

“Your perception cannot be wrong; the problem lies with the saints residing in the lower levels.”

Compared to Peter, who began to doubt himself, Gabriel seemed to have more confidence in his perception.

"Michael, send someone to investigate and try to get the real information within three hours."

"it is good."

As disciples of Jesus, the twelve apostles hold a relatively high position in Christianity.

Apart from Peter, James, and John, who are three-digit saints.

The remaining nine were all top-tier four-figure individuals, holding positions in various lower-level areas of Christianity.

Although his position was lower than that of the top leaders like Raziel and Sariyeh, it was only about half a level lower.

The simultaneous downfall of nine saints had a greater impact on the lower echelons of Christianity than the destruction of its headquarters.

After confirming that there was a major problem in the lower level, Michael naturally did not dare to be negligent and immediately sent people to investigate.

However... to Michael's surprise, the intelligence that would normally take at least two hours to be transmitted arrived in his hands in just half an hour.

"The people we just sent to investigate the lower levels have gone missing?!"

Upon hearing Gabriel's report, which he had just returned from, Michael's face turned ashen.

Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

The perpetrator has gone beyond causing trouble in secret; this is outright attack.

He sat directly on the face of the Christian and slapped him wildly. After finishing, he even felt it was asymmetrical, so he switched to slapping the other side.

"Michael, don't be in such a hurry."

Seeing that Michael seemed a bit agitated, Gabriel tried to calm him down.

"Although I didn't get any useful information, I did receive an additional piece of intelligence."

"What information?"

"Four days ago, just after we left Mount Olympus, Athena also left for a while."

"?"

Michael paused, then asked, "You mean... the things happening in the lower realms are related to Athena?"

"It's very possible."

Gabriel analyzed, "We can find all the saints in the lower levels within four days and capture or kill them."
