Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

Elena nodded: "That's good. The trials are suspended for a while, so you can go wherever you want."

"Aborted?" Benovia asked curiously, "Why aborted?"

Elena said, "Last night, the deep-sea monsters invaded the Golden Apple Stone Forest, causing great trouble for the heretics. Archbishop Melina led the Knights of Law to the area, intending to eliminate them in one fell swoop. However, the leader of the deep sea suddenly told Archbishop Melina that if they insisted on attacking, they would release the chaotic pollution within the Golden Apple Stone Forest, allowing the pollution to spread outwards."

Celia, Benovia, and the other two exchanged glances, all looking puzzled.

Benovia asked, "The pollution within the Golden Apple Stone Forest was contained by a magic array personally set up by the gods at the end of the Age of Calamity. Can they destroy the gods' magic array?"

Elena shook her head: "It's unclear for now. Archbishop Melina originally didn't intend to interfere, but our people at the camp discovered that the pollution within the Golden Apple Stone Forest is spreading outwards, and they seem to be able to control the spread. Until the spread problem is resolved, the operation plan will probably have to be suspended."

Celia immediately ran outside.

Before long, she arrived at the edge of the gentle slope of the cliff and looked into the Golden Apple Stone Forest.

She saw that the pollution, which had originally only spread to the bottom of the Golden Apple Stone Forest, had now spread outwards and even reached the edge of the cliff.

From the cliff, you can even touch the chaotic pollution by bending down.

Celia reached out and sensed it, discovering that the pollution had chaotic fluctuations, but there was only pollution, no chaotic magic or divine power.

"Thank goodness, I thought they could even unleash divine power."

Celia breathed a sigh of relief.

Divine power is a completely incomprehensible force to ordinary sorcerers. If the Deep Sea Alliance can utilize it, then this operation can be discontinued.

Looking at the churning gray fog, a thought suddenly struck Celia.

"These contaminants don't possess chaotic magic, so could it be..."

The girl opened her hands, and a purification spell shone from them as she slowly extended them into the churning pollution.

The pollution retreated swiftly as if it had encountered its nemesis, forming a small 'vacuum zone' around her hands.

Elena's voice came from beside her: "Celia, you..."

She walked over and said helplessly, "Celia, don't test things out of the blue. It's very dangerous if it triggers a magical surge."

Celia laughed and said, "Don't worry, Instructor Elena, I can draw scrolls to isolate pollution, so I know the extent of the pollution."

She paused for a moment and then asked, "Speaking of which, has the Knights of the Law conducted any tests on these spreading contaminants?"

Elena said, "Bishop Hugh collected some samples this morning and went over there, but I don't know how the research is going."

Celia nodded: "Judging from the extent of this overflowing pollution, it's just pollution without any chaotic magic, so it's easy to deal with."

"So we can ignore the Deep Sea Aid Society's threat and attack directly?" Melina's voice rang out from the side.

Celia looked up and saw Melina, who had appeared beside her at some point.

She slowly walked over and said, "If Celia had been here last night, we probably would have been able to make up our minds."

Celia said, "I didn't know this would happen."

Melina asked, "So, is the method I suggested feasible?"

Celia thought for a moment, then shook her head: "It probably won't work."

"why?"

"Although these pollutants are not as difficult to purify as those in the Golden Apple Stone Forest, there are too many of them, and we don't have enough manpower to purify them. With pollution that has persisted for 500 years, we have no way of knowing whether this pollution will regenerate within the Golden Apple Stone Forest and continue to accumulate."

Melina nodded.

Many people said the same thing last night.

Otherwise, she would have ignored all advice and directly exposed the Deep Sea Assistance Association.

Allowing heretics to run rampant within our territory, and knowing where their headquarters are, would severely damage the Holy See's prestige if we didn't eliminate them.

Last night was an excellent opportunity.

When the deep-sea monsters dealt a heavy blow to the deep-sea fortress, they took it down in one fell swoop.

result……

Even now, Melina still feels it's a pity.

“If Bishop Shuen hadn’t stopped me, I would have resolved this last night.” Melina shook her head. “Bishop Shuen said that if the pollution in the Golden Apple Stone Forest were released, the city of Leites would immediately fall into chaos. After that, the pollution would spread outwards and eventually spread to the entire Starfall Continent, bringing new calamities. I think he’s exaggerating. Celia, do you think he’s right?”

“Uh…” Celia blinked and shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Melina said disappointedly, "I thought you knew."

Celia rolled her eyes: "Bishop Melina, you flatter me too much. I'm just an ordinary third-tier mage, and I've only been studying the Golden Apple Stone Forest for half a month. Grandpa Shuen has been studying here for most of his life. What he said may be a bit exaggerated, but it's definitely true."

Melina scoffed, "All that research you've done in your life is less useful than you coming here to take a look."

Celia didn't dare to respond to that.

Elena didn't dare to answer; she even sensed danger and made an excuse to run away.

Melina didn't care. She looked at the endless Golden Apple Stone Forest and sighed, "I missed the opportunity last night. I don't know if there will be another good opportunity like this in the future."

Celia laughed and said, "The Deep Sea Aid Society has existed for so many years, it's definitely not so easy to wipe it out. That deep-sea fortress looks like a headquarters, but what if it's just a disguised headquarters or something?"

Melina laughed and said, "There's no need for so many disguises. Even if there are disguises, we'll take down one as many as we can."

She paused, then looked at Celia with hope in her eyes: "Celia, I remember you are very skilled in magic arrays. Could you help us find a way to solve the problem of pollution spreading?"

"I?"

Chapter 433 Strategy

Celia suspects that Melina may be possessed by Blake.

Why does she, like Blake, consider herself an expert in everything?

The girl couldn't help but glance at Ross in her mind and mutter to herself.

Could it be that they know of Lord Ross's existence, and while they seem to be talking to me, they are actually making a request to Lord Ross?

Ross sensed her thoughts and laughed, "They are sixth-tier mages, so perhaps they have some suspicions, but they can't know about my existence unless I want to."

Ethel hadn't even noticed him back then, let alone a sixth-tier mage who hadn't even broken through the limits of humanity.

Celia nodded to herself. Faced with Melina's hopes, she didn't dare to make any boasts. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "My current knowledge of magic arrays is not yet at the level to easily understand the magic arrays set up by the gods. I can try, but I can't guarantee that it will work."

Melina breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It's okay, just give it a try, just take a look, it's fine if it doesn't work out."

Celia was just saying it casually and didn't intend to actually study it.

The magic circle in the Golden Apple Stone Forest is much larger than the magic circle in Leites City.

Even if she wanted to understand, the Mage's Hand couldn't fully control it.

Moreover, she felt that such a divinely set-up array could not be easily invaded like an ordinary array.

If you want change, there's only one possibility—

Rose makes the move.

Melina waved goodbye, saying, "Then I won't disturb Celia's view."

“Wait a moment, Bishop Melina.”

"what happened?"

“This was obtained by Duke Pharos from a deceased high-ranking heretic. He asked me to give it to you for research.” Celia took out the Source of Life.

Melina took it, examined it for a moment, and nodded. "Okay, I'll give it to them to study when I get back."

"Uh-huh."

"Is there anything else? If not, I won't bother you any longer."

"That's all, goodbye."

Celia waved and watched Melina leave.

Then, she looked back at the Golden Apple Stone Forest and complained, "Lord Ross, what are they thinking? Do they think I'm a god?"

Ross chuckled, "If I control you, wouldn't that make me a god?"

Celia pouted: "That's you, not me... Lord Ross, do you think the pollution situation in the Golden Apple Stone Forest can be resolved?"

"Whether it can be resolved depends on finding the source of the pollution, or rather, the core of the magic array. You can only find out by obtaining access to the magic array and reviewing its 'log files'."

Celia said, "Me... me infiltrating the Golden Apple Stone Forest's magic array? I can't do that, can I?"

Ross nodded: "Intrusion is impossible, you'll get lost in the magic circle. But if you gain access, you can read the traces of the magic circle."

The changes and operation of a magic array leave traces. Large magic arrays collect these traces, much like a computer's log file. With the right permissions, one can access these traces and understand the operation of the magic array.

"Gaining access requires hacking," Celia said, tapping her head.

Gaining access requires intrusion, and intrusion can lead to getting lost, while gaining access does not. But to gain access, you need to intrude...

Ross chuckled, "Who says you have to hack to get access? Did the heretics of the Deep Sea Aid Society also hack into the magic circle to get access?"

Celia: "...Does Lord Ross want me to infiltrate the deep-sea fortress and steal the key to the magic circle?"

Ross smiled and nodded: "I think it's a good idea."

Celia shook her head vigorously: "No, no, no, absolutely not! I'll die! Even with Lord Ross... I'll still die!"

The deep-sea fortress has sixth-tier mages.

The difference between the third and fourth tiers is already significant. Under a fourth-tier opponent, Celia is confident she can escape. As for the fifth tier... Ross should be able to handle it.

But sixth rank...

It's better to wash up and sleep.

To a sixth-tier being, a third-tier being is no different from an ant, not only in terms of strength but also speed.

No matter how fast an ant runs, can it outrun a human?

Ross said, "If we don't infiltrate, there are two other ways to solve the problem with the magic circle."

"What method?" Celia asked hurriedly.

"The first method is to blitzkrieg the fortress, take down the fortress in the shortest time, find the access to the magic circle, and shut down the pollution dissipation. This method will cause some pollution to dissipate, but a small amount of dissipation will not have a big impact."

"This... seems like a possibility, but what if the Deepsea Alliance destroys the access before they die..."

“Then let’s go with the second option,” Ross said calmly. “Let the main force launch a feint attack, and send an elite squad or an experienced mage to infiltrate the fortress and find the location of the access key.”

"This seems like a good idea. I'll go back and talk to Bishop Melina about it."

Celia immediately returned to the camp and found Melina at the Knights of the Law camp, relaying Ross's plan to her.

“The Deep Sea Assistance Association definitely doesn’t have the ability to break the magic array. They must have obtained the key to control the magic array, which is why they can control it. As long as we steal their key, we can eliminate our worries.”

"That's what Celia said."

Melina pondered for a moment and decided that Celia's method was feasible.

She said, "I'll go find the team leaders and we'll have a meeting tomorrow morning. Oh, and you should come too."

Celia waved her hand: "No need, I'm just making a suggestion. How to do it specifically is up to the big shots. I'm not qualified for this kind of meeting."

Meetings are so boring, I don't want to go to meetings.

Melina said, "The scroll you made helped us a lot, how could you not be qualified? In this battle, you are the most qualified one. If you hadn't come, we wouldn't have dared to sit down."

“…” Celia looked at Melina silently.

She wanted to tell Melina to go see the priest.

"It's a pity Phil isn't here."

Celia sighed and slowly walked away.

Melina, confused, called out as Celia left, "By the way, Celia, I'll need you to continue drawing the scrolls. The sorcerers you requested have arrived and they'll be on duty starting tomorrow."

Celia switched from walking to running, escaping at the speed of light.

……

the next morning.

Celia still came.

He sat quietly at the end of the table, listening to the intense tactical discussions among the many fourth, fifth, and sixth-level big shots.
