Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Byron nodded in agreement after hearing this.

That's how it should be done. If there's a way without taking risks, why take risks? That would be crazy.

After explaining Byron's doubts, Isolde clapped his hands.

The next moment, the huge stone sculpture shattered inch by inch, and a fist-sized statue, completely black and carved from some unknown material, was lifted into the air by silk threads.

With the appearance of this idol, Abultan, who was already struggling, became even more frantic.

Unfortunately, apart from making the silk thread sway slightly, it had no other effect and was just a waste of effort.

Isolde, however, was completely unconcerned. With a light tap of her finger in the air, the statue and Abudan moved closer together under the control of the silk threads.

The moment the two came into contact, Abulan's spiritual body was immediately bound into the statue.

Along with Him went in, there were also the dense threads that were wrapped around Him and the statue.

With Abulan gone, the church returned to silence.

Isolde gently beckoned to the statue, and the statue immediately floated into Isolde's hand.

After receiving the idol, Isolde tapped it a few times before casually handing it to Byron and giving him instructions.

"Byron, I have already sealed Abuldan within the idol. If someone surpasses me in their understanding of sealing magic, or is several times stronger than me, then this seal cannot be broken."

"So, you don't need to worry. Abulan will escape from the statue. Your next task is to return to the academy and hand the statue over to me."

After saying this, Isolde paused slightly before speaking again.

"Alright, I've said and done everything I needed to say. Now it's up to you. I'll be waiting for your good news at the academy."

As he spoke, Isolde's figure in mid-air slowly dissipated.

After he finished speaking, Isolde's figure completely vanished.

At the same time, the contractual imprint in Byron's mental sea was restored to its original state.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the mark is somewhat dimmer than before.

Upon seeing this, Byron narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

But after a moment's thought, he didn't waste any more time on the matter.

After all, he's still at a very low level, and even if he racks his brains, he still can't figure it out.

This is not due to a lack of ability, but rather because he lacks the relevant knowledge and information.

It's like asking someone who has never learned calculus to solve a calculus problem.

Moreover, there is something even more important now: with Isolde's disappearance, her sorcery, without her support, is slowly dissipating.

Of course, this is also because she did not fix this witchcraft.

The reason they didn't do so was probably because they believed that the people present posed no threat to Byron.

If that's really what Isolde's mentor thought, then Byron would have to say, "He's a very good judge of character."

Byron looked at the believers in the church, who were slowly regaining their mobility and consciousness after the witchcraft had disappeared.

The believers also turned their attention to Byron.

Although Abulan's previous humble behavior shattered their idealized image of him, the faith planted in their hearts by Abulan was already deeply rooted.

Even if it were just this one thing, or even if there were several more, faith wouldn't collapse so easily.

The leader of these people, the one named Laura, shouted at them the moment she regained consciousness and mobility.

"Brothers, the Lord is now in the hands of that little baby. That terrifying woman is gone, and he's all alone. Now we only need to deal with him, for the glory and freedom of the Lord!!!"

Upon hearing this, the others also shouted out in response.

"For the freedom and glory of the Lord!!!"

"The Lord has given us strength and dignity. I am willing to dedicate everything to the Lord, even my life!!!"

"We must rescue the Lord! Under His guidance, we will save even more of our fellow believers!!!"

"......."

As for Byron, he looked at the enthusiastic believers around him with a calm expression, even somewhat bored.

The reason I cooperated with them before was to lure out Abuldan. Now that the mission is complete and Abuldan has been sealed away, he is in my hands and I no longer need to play house with these people.

Therefore, none of these people need to be kept.

As for leaving a few people to test divine power?

There's absolutely no need for that. The most urgent task right now is to deliver the statue of Abuldan to the academy. Taking them with us on the journey would not only waste time but also lead to more unforeseen problems.

Besides, Abudan now has the machine for generating divine power in his hands, so there's no need to worry about not having it if he wants to study it later.

It seems I'll have to visit the slave workshops sometime to buy some experimental materials or experimental slaves.

As for why he didn't buy them before, it was because his research hadn't reached that stage yet, and there was nowhere to house the slaves, so there was no need.

It's important to understand that even if a slave's ultimate purpose is to be used for experiments, it still needs to be well cared for beforehand, and its condition needs to be monitored in real time to keep it within the range of the experimental design data.

Otherwise, if it introduces any variables into the experiment, there won't even be time to cry.

In addition, he had too many secrets and too little time to expose them, so he never set up his own laboratory or slaves.

But now things are different. Not only has his wealth increased, but he is also able to avoid carrying out missions for several years, giving him ample time to realize his ambitions.

While pondering his plans upon returning to the academy, Byron was also busy when an object the size of a human head, resembling solid magma, appeared before him.

Looking at the object, Byron's face also showed a touch of emotion.

This was the first time he had officially used this spell since it was created and successfully engraved in his mind.

This spell was the one that Byron independently researched, constructed, and inscribed: the Flame Condensation Explosion Spell.

Byron laughed as he looked at the fierce-looking followers rushing towards him, spewing profanities.

With a gentle push, the solid, magma-like substance shot towards those people.

Laura, who was in the crowd, narrowed her eyes when she saw this. Although she didn't know what it was, an extremely dangerous feeling spread from the bottom of her heart.

But before he could react, the witchcraft suddenly erupted.

The first thing to appear was a beam of light, an incredibly dazzling light!

In that instant, the light broke through the church's confinement and appeared in the outside world.

At that very moment, a ray of light, even more dazzling than the sun high in the sky, descended upon the world.

Whether they were people in the castle or those hiding in the mountains, everyone was drawn to this light at that moment.

Under their watchful eyes, the light vanished rapidly, replaced by a giant fireball that suddenly bloomed before their very eyes, resembling a blooming rose.
