However, Margaret's hidden epic should be relatively safe as long as the poems are not unfolded.

Besides, if she had a problem, I would have been done for long ago.

Lyon tried to divine the truth in his mind and found that he still lacked information and could not determine who the mole was.

It seems we need to gather some intelligence before we can confirm the results.

Why was the meeting adjourned?

Tumoria frowned slightly.

“Continuing to argue like this won’t work. I’ve decided to suspend the meeting for a day so that everyone can go back and think and rest. We’ll continue the day after tomorrow to avoid wasting everyone’s time.”

As the First Saintess, Margaret does indeed have temporary decision-making power before the final trustee is determined.

"Why didn't the others come?"

"Tumoria" asked again.

Margaret said speechlessly, "How did you become so stupid? It's obvious that it's impossible for so many high-ranking officials to be here at the same time. It would definitely be bad if word got out."

"Oh right, right, look at my brain, it's all muddled."

'Tumoria' patted her head, tilted it slightly, and revealed a cute smile.

“This is outside the Vatican, so be more respectful.”

Margaret frowned.

As Lyon listened to their conversation, he thought that although he couldn't rule out the possibility that they were acting, the conversation did clear Margaret of suspicion of colluding with 'Tumoria' to some extent.

Although Slaanesh's portrayal was brief, Margaret, corrupted by the demon, wouldn't be so quick to pick on Slaanesh's minor faults now.

Currently, the only people within the Vatican who can be trusted besides Britta are Margaret.

Britta seemed to notice that something was wrong with Leon's expression and said, "Leon, come with me."

She then nodded slightly to the others and turned to leave.

Lyon immediately followed.

'Tumoria' wanted to stop Leon, but then she heard 'Pluto's' voice beside her: "Sixth brother, don't worry about him for now. Second brother has already arranged for people to keep an eye on him. Let's go to second brother first. He still has something to say. What's next is more important."

……

What exactly happened just now?

Britta looked at the broken-open meditation room.

Lyon went up, grabbed the broken door, and used his alchemical magic of turning lead into gold and material displacement to quickly repair the door and put it back on the frame.

Then, he glanced around and pulled Britta into the meditation room.

He had just finished observing the area and found nothing regarding the supposed surveillance arranged by 'Tegwansch'.

As for the miracle divination technique, combined with his observation, he did indeed divine a hidden trace existing in the distance, very far away, like a dark cloud, inconspicuous.

However, other situations remain uncertain.

After all, the Miracle Divination Technique only works well when it is based on the rich information from his previous life. It is estimated that he will only awaken a huge transformation when he reaches the advanced level, the King level.

Another reason why he was able to deal with 'Tegwansh' using miracle divination was because he was very familiar with the combat details of these spells in his previous life, and had enough information.

But regarding other demons, just like with divination by the forest apostles, it takes time to accumulate information.

As for now, it should be feasible to disclose some information to Britta.

However, if this information is shared with others, it's hard to guarantee that the demons might not have the ability to obtain it.

To prevent 'Tegwansch' from actually harming Iris and the others, he had to act quickly.

According to his speculation and divination, the demon responsible for monitoring should have mastered the evil ability related to [sloth], and could easily control all the situations that occur in a region while guarding it.

Different types of "sloth" abilities have different directions of development.

For example, some are good at monitoring all areas near water, some are good at listening to sounds, some are good at monitoring changes in magic, and so on.

The earlier statement by 'Tegwansh', 'Don't think that you can transmit messages with magic,' likely refers to the fact that the demons responsible for monitoring are skilled at listening to sounds.

After he had a guess about this, he confirmed it with the art of miracle divination and quickly got the correct answer.

In other words, a monitor, skilled at listening to sounds.

Therefore, there is obviously disagreement on how to transmit messages.

Lyon immediately grabbed Britta's hand and quickly wrote on her delicate, white palm.

“Pluto and Tumoria have been corrupted by high-level demons, as have Iris’s grandfather, Tigervansch. I was just testing Tigervansch with myself.”

Britta looked at Lyon in surprise, grabbed his hand, and began to write quickly as well.

"Are you being so cautious because they threatened you?"

She clearly had no doubt that Lyon might be lying.

Therefore, despite hearing such unbelievable information, she did not question it at all.

“That’s right, he used the lives of Iris, Magiru, Langley, and Terena as hostages.”

"Do I need to take action? The divine authority I can currently command should be enough to suppress them."

"Don't rush, they have accomplices lurking in the Vatican. We need to find these spies and wipe them out in one fell swoop to avoid any accidents."

"Then, how about we protect them in advance?"

"That would require at least an epic-level expert to protect you day and night for it to be safe, but that's not feasible."

"Let them all come and go with me for now. These mere demons dare to use this as a threat; I will surely destroy them."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Britta's eyes.

“Rita, don’t rush. We still don’t know how strong they really are. If we make any rash moves, it could easily lead to unforeseen consequences. I will find an opportunity to divine the composition of their full strength as soon as possible. Once we have determined the threat level, we will launch a swift and decisive attack. Also, gathering all of you together is crucial. If we fail, the situation will be even more serious. I don’t want any of you to get hurt.”

"Alright, how long do you expect it to take you to finish the divination?"

"I need to contact some of the current high-ranking officials of the Holy See to gather intelligence so that I can identify the mole as soon as possible. As for the situation of external infiltrators, that will take some effort... By the way, perhaps we can seek help from the goddess Astalia."

"Ask her for help? Could it be that you..."

Britta couldn't hide her surprise as she wrote this.

"That's right, I've already obtained the Sacred Relic Spring Map, and you've got the other two treasures too, right?"

"I already got the Scales of Life from Morites, while the Dragon Slayer Sword is still being kept by Ophimaso."

"With all three items gathered, can the resurrection ritual be performed immediately?"

"If it were before I advanced, I would still be a little short, but now, it's enough."

"Then let's not delay, let's go find Orpheus."

As he was writing, Lyon suddenly turned around and said to the air behind Britta:

"Lady Margarita, come out, stop hiding."

Britta frowned and looked back, only to find a petite, flat-chested blonde figure slowly appearing—

It really was Margaret; she had been hiding quietly behind him without him noticing.

Besides, wasn't Margaret just talking to Tiggerang in the square earlier?

Margarita looked at Lyon with surprise in her eyes:

"You brat, you actually managed to see through my disguise?"

Even Britta, who holds the power of the gods, couldn't see her own hiding place, could she?

Leon said, "I can't see through it, but Rita and I are alone in a room, so I'm sure you'll follow me."

Britta was surprised. When did Leon become so familiar with Margaret?

And most importantly, judging from what Leon said, Margaret knows that her relationship with Leon is not normal.

Lyon then took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote something down, and handed it to Margaret.

"Keep an eye on Iris, Magir, Hamra, and the others for me. I can guarantee that I won't harm Britta before the resurrection of the goddess Astalia. And you should know how important the resurrection of the goddess is."

Margaret, who had long monitored and protected Britta, was one of only two epic figures in the Papacy and naturally knew of the god's fall.

She frowned and pondered for a moment, then quickly wrote something and handed the paper back to Lyon.

"Only looking after Iris and a few others? What about Langley and the others?"

"Help me inform Camille, she will know what to do, but remember, under no circumstances should you disturb the demon, and you must not communicate with it in any form of voice, only in words."

"Okay, no problem."

After exchanging words on paper, Leon pulled Britta into a state of near-disappearance and vanished from the spot.

Margaret pondered for a moment, her bright gold eyebrows slowly relaxing from a furrowed brow, and then disappearing from the spot.

……

In his shadowless state, Leon carried Britta horizontally, flashing rapidly.

Britta had one arm around Leon's shoulder, and her long legs emerged from her gorgeous skirt, which Leon caught, his fingers naturally pinching her fair calves to create pretty marks.

Her narrow eyes curved slightly, and a long-lost faint smile appeared on her face. Her hair fluttered and constantly brushed against Leon's profile.

Despite the lurking threat of evil spirits, a time that should be filled with worry, she felt unusually happy at this moment.

Since the Shadowless Form could prevent surveillance, the two began to communicate through dialogue.

"How did Margaret become so familiar with you?"

Britta suddenly asked a question.

"She was assigned by the Great Saintess to protect you. Based on my judgment, ever since we first left the dungeon, whenever you are alone, she has arranged for an avatar to secretly protect you. Her own strength is actually already at the epic level. Of course, she advanced relatively late and can be considered a newly promoted epic."

Lyon said.

"And then you use your philandering and frivolous tricks to make her close to you? Even to the point where she'll do whatever you say?"

Britta glanced at Leon, gripped his shoulder tightly, and suddenly felt an urge to bite him.

“Rita, you might not believe it, but after I proposed to you that day, she suddenly appeared and warned me not to lay a hand on you because your proxy status is extremely rare. She said that if I really slept with you and it threatened your position, she would kill me… Anyway, for your sake, I won’t give in so easily.”

Hearing this, Britta couldn't help but chuckle: "You now know how daring you were back then, don't you?"

Lyon said frankly, "How could I be so intimate with someone as pure and noble as you if I weren't bold enough?"

As he spoke, he gave Britta a quick kiss.

First he touched her cheek, then he moved to her delicate, cherry-like lips.

Distracted, running, hugging, and swabbing at the same time.

A warm sensation came over me.

Britta was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening.

She tried to struggle, but quickly got into the zone.

Immediately afterward, Lyon noticed that Britta's body was acting abnormally due to the divine shackles; her face had become unusually flushed, her heart was beating erratically, and her breathing was rapidly declining.

He was startled and quickly exited the SW state, releasing the divine light of life and the light of the soul to slowly heal the physical and mental damage caused by the suppression of the divine shackles.

Because the imposter 'Tumoria' hadn't triggered the Divine Shackles, he had momentarily forgotten about Britta's problem. Fortunately, he realized it early, and the magic taught by the Forest Apostles could quickly restore her body.

Fortunately, no major mistakes have been made yet.

At this moment, Lyon noticed the update to the panel messages.

[Character Britta's affection level +2, current affection level 95%]

[Completed deep exchange, unlocking deep holy mode]

Upon closer inspection, Lyon discovered that everything before him was changing, growing ever more distant, as if his soul was being detached and transcending to a higher realm.

This is an infinite and far-reaching perspective that overlooks everything.

It felt like a spiritual ascension, as if one's soul transcended and entered a cloud of knowledge, with each advancement.

He discovered that he seemed to have gained a peculiar state that could be described as 'absolutely higher dimension'.

So that's how it is. The so-called sacred mode is when the mind becomes clear and transparent like a god, experiencing the divine state of mind that overlooks all living beings, just like the ultimate truth of the universe itself.

This state of mind seems very abstract and too vague at first glance, lacking any real practical effect.
