You are all my wings!

[Breita's Hidden Side Quest "Sacred Shackles" Completion +5%, Current Completion 5%]

"My Lord, speaking of the cataclysmic destruction of the world, there is another urgent problem that needs to be addressed: demonic abominations! Currently, a large number of high-level demonic abominations are lurking both inside and outside the Holy See!"

"I'll leave it to you to handle. I'll grant Britta more authority and power; she'll be more than capable of resolving everything. If things get really difficult, Britta can summon me with a holy incantation."

"As far as I know, the purpose of these demons is closely related to the fall of the God!"

Before Astaria completely disappeared, Leon's words successfully stopped her, and the holy light reappeared.

Is this true?

"It's true! That was information I gathered during my battles with the demons!"

This was naturally a lie. Leon had only tested the demons' reactions, and the question then turned to whether he was one of them. In the end, they were also frightened away by Britta.

At this moment, Astaria, enveloped in holy light, lost the radiance surrounding her head, revealing her fair and serene face.

She raised her delicate eyebrows slightly:

"To make a long story short, what do you mean by 'related to my previous demise'?"

Lyon breathed a sigh of relief. In the last moments before Astaria left, he used his Miracle Catcher skill to choose the sentence that was most likely to move Astaria, and it worked.

Now, we can get a little more creative. How should we write it?

He had only previously probed and discovered that the gathering of the demons was related to the fall of Astaria.

As for the rest, it's uncertain for now; we need to wait a while for divination and speculation.

The only certainty is that the demons were unaware that Astaria would be resurrected; if they had, they wouldn't have allowed Britta to roam freely.

Moreover, Leon only informed the female protagonists of this news, and Britta was also quite secretive, always acting in the shadows.

If we make a big show of it, there will definitely be many troublemakers in the shadows.

Unfortunately, he had already used up his chance to read fate for the day, and from now on he would have to rely on himself to make things up. He would need to be very careful and meticulous, combining Astalia's reaction with miracle divination to confirm what he wanted to say.

Lyon thought for a moment, then said:

“My Lord, I don’t know much either. All I know is that this group of high-ranking demons has grand ambitions. They corrupted a legendary-rank pure-blooded elf a long time ago, and they started infiltrating as soon as Lady Moripe was temporarily away from the Holy See. So far, at least three high-ranking members of the Holy See have been corrupted. The known types of demons include evil demons, fear demons, lust demons, one suspected to be greedy demons, and one unknown. When I tested them, they did admit that their purpose here was related to your previous fall.”

He said a lot, seemingly a lot of information, but only one sentence concerned Astaria.

Her serene expression hardened again, and she furrowed her brows slightly.

"that's it?"

"There's another one. I suspect their purpose is related to the location of the deity before his fall."

Why do you say that?

Astalia seemed thoughtful; Lyon's words had clearly given her pause for thought.

Lyon did not answer directly, but said:

"The deity fell thirty-six years ago, and the divine revelation seven years ago, the resurrection plan given to Rita, and the minor miracles that occasionally appear in the Holy See were all prepared a long time ago, right?"

This time, the amount of information is quite high. Some of it is Leon's speculation based on his past life experiences, and some is the result of a fresh divination.

The effect was indeed outstanding. Astaria's eyes trembled slightly, and the holy light surrounding her completely disappeared.

"You know much more than I expected, even about this level of secrecy. It seems I'll have to stay a little longer."

She smiled gently on her fair face.

This guy changes his tune really fast.

Although each time it was gentle, it couldn't withstand the repeated jumping around.

Lyon felt that he had a vague grasp of Astaria's personality.

On the other hand, Lyon's revelations have also given Britta something to think about.

She thought to herself that the cause and effect of the future were so complex that when Leon foresaw his own impending death, he must have racked his brains and consulted the oracle repeatedly to understand it in such detail and had many arguments to try to convince the gods.

On the contrary, she herself had previously said that she was responsible for communicating with the gods, but when the time came, she realized that although she had done many things for the gods and was adept at using their authority, she did not know much about many secrets. Apart from expressing her determination, she had nothing else to say.

If it weren't for Leon, I probably would have been completely unaware of my impending doom.

Unconsciously, a slight thought of rebellion against the gods arose in her mind.

Lyon, observing Astaria's reaction, continued:

"Back then, after the Gods inflicted divine punishment on the Holy Blood School, the school's leaders perished one after another. A demigod and an epic, the two most powerful experts in humanity at that time, died. Humanity's top powerhouses were completely devoid of demigods from then on. At that time, only two epics remained in the world."

Only two epics left?

Turlongye and Mouripe?

What about demigods?

Britta and Ophimasso looked up abruptly, a look of shock flashing in their eyes.

No wonder that over the years, Acting Pope Moriple has made frequent moves, while the other demigod Pope Castiglione has remained hidden and untraceable.

The original explanation from the royal family and the high-ranking officials of the Papacy was that demigods were already so great that it was perfectly reasonable for them not to appear before the world.

But thinking about it carefully, if a demigod wants to be promoted to a god, she must have made achievements. Even if she has the power to do things for her, it's not like she hasn't shown her face for so many years, right?

They only heard Leon continue speaking:

"That Pope Castiglione was the mastermind behind the Holy Blood School. Without her tacit approval, the school thirty-six years ago would never have grown to the point where the gods had to expend so much power to cross the great gap between the divine and mortal realms and personally initiate divine punishment."

After Leon finished speaking, the cave fell into a brief silence once again.

As he spoke, he kept a close eye on Astalia's reaction, and seeing the subtle changes in her expression, he became even more certain of his judgment.

Essentially, after learning that gods like Astaria faced significant limitations in the mortal realm, he immediately realized that there was a problem with the divine punishment that occurred 36 years ago.

Sure enough, Astaria's expression changed quickly after hearing what Leon said.

She squinted and said, "You do know a lot, but there's one thing you're wrong about. That is, I didn't kill Castiglione; I just sealed her away."

Lyon's heart stirred slightly, and he said:

"Could it be that she was corrupted by a top-tier demon 36 years ago? Because this top-tier demon is difficult to kill and remove. If we just kill her, the top-tier demon might even threaten to corrupt the gods. So the only option is to seal her away?"

"Yes."

A hint of melancholy flashed in Astalia's eyes as she said:

“Castiga was once a child on whom I had high hopes. Unfortunately, her path to godhood was blocked by authority, and she could not advance to become a god. She could only turn to the study of life alchemy. Unexpectedly, she went further and further astray and was then taken advantage of by demons. At that time, I was participating in the war of gods. By the time I turned my attention back to the mortal world, it was too late. I could only bring down divine punishment.”

Lyon always felt that there was something insincere about Astalia's words.

As a seasoned con artist, and the world's only extraordinary con artist, he believes that Astalia is lying!

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough information to figure out her purpose in lying or what she was trying to hide.

"So, the great deity was attacked by a rival god because of the immense energy consumed during the interdimensional divine punishment and sealing, which directly led to the crisis of his demise and caused a series of plans to come to a standstill?"

"Leon asked."

"You little rascal, you dare to ask anything."

Astalia smiled and shook her head, as if she had gained a new level of approval for Leon during this brief exchange.

Lyon understood; with Astalia's answer, it seemed he had guessed correctly.

Unfortunately, she refused to say which enemy god it was.

Based on Leon's familiarity with the mythological history of his past life, Astaria's opponent might still be an ancient god.

It is unknown whether the ancient god who caused Astaria's downfall harbored any hostility towards humanity.

He continued:

"Judging from the details of the resurrection ceremony just now, the direction of the dazzling light used to summon the spirit pointed northeast from here. Judging from the intensity of the light, the distance should be 14.5 kilometers away, which is exactly in the center of the Holy See. I often travel there, but I have never seen anything unusual. That is to say, the God either perished underground in the Holy See or in the Holy Realm connected to that location? And the place that this group of demons is going to is very likely the place where the God perished."

Beside her, Britta's heart stirred slightly. Could it be that there was another hidden world beneath the Vatican?

Is that also the place where Pope Castiglione was sealed?

At this point, Leon suddenly raised his voice, stared at Astalia, and said sternly:

"My Lord, forgive my bluntness! This time, the demons are coming with overwhelming force, and they may even be after something you left behind before your fall! I believe we must eliminate these demons with overwhelming force! If you leave Rita to deal with them alone, unpredictable risks will inevitably lead to a repeat of the disaster that happened with Castigatca!"

Hearing Lyon's suddenly stern words, Ophimasso was slightly startled, then worried.

Lyon is here again. Even if the gods seem easy to talk to now, they shouldn't be like this, right?

Are they not afraid of incurring the wrath of the gods and being punished for their disrespect?

She glanced to the side and saw the deity's fair face sway like a delicate flower as she gently chuckled.

Chapter 406 Orpheus: You want to have sex with Britta as soon as possible?

After Astalia finished chuckling, she nodded to Leon and said:

"You're good. I admire your determination to clearly state the pros and cons."

appreciate?

So, Leon isn't to blame?

Ophimasso breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"However, although you know a lot, there are still some secrets you don't know, and some of your judgments are too subjective."

Astalia regained her serene demeanor:

"But this opinion is indeed worth considering. Here's what we'll do: I will handle the matter of the demon invasion."

Ophimasso's heart nearly jumped again. Why did this god also like to give and take?

Lyon asked, "My Lord, will your actions now result in significant losses? Will it delay your subsequent recovery?"

"Since things have come to this, we'll accept the losses, even if they're significant."

Astalia's gaze swept over Britta and Lyon:

“However, I cannot act rashly. Before the matter of the demon is resolved, I will temporarily hide in the Holy Relic Spring Map to prolong my stay, but not for too long. If it drags on, I will have to leave the mortal realm. Therefore, this time I hope to resolve the matter with the force of a thunderous sweep. Do you each have a suitable strategy?”

"The purpose of those demons should be partly related to the top-tier demon within Castiga, so I think that the God should go there and ambush them, waiting for them to attack."

Lyon immediately said:

"As for the rest of us, we can go to the periphery to eliminate those who are good at eavesdropping and cut off their eyes and ears. If we encounter a crisis, I believe that with the strength of the God, it is enough to solve it remotely. However, if the God's power has not been fully restored, my suggestion is that as long as we do not encounter a truly powerful character for the time being, we might as well wait and avoid alerting the enemy and wasting unnecessary strength."

Okay, that's all.

Astalia waved her hand, and holy light flashed out, enveloping the three like a piece of cotton cloth.

call out! ! !

With a flash of light, everyone disappeared from their spot.

……

Five minutes later.

A corner of the Vatican.

Within the Shadowless Form, Leon was with Britta and Ophimasso.

Britta can unleash epic-level attack power by maximizing her divine authority, but her sustain is short and her ultimate skill requires time to build up.

Orpheus advanced to the sixth tier using a powerful seventh-tier spatial artifact, and his second personality has gained some control over it. Therefore, he can unleash peak legendary strength at crucial moments, and his endurance is also longer.

If she pushes her physical limits to the limit, she can even unleash the power of an epic combat technique with a legendary one.

Moreover, both of their sixth-tier poems have been baptized by divine power, and with their respective trump cards, they can both be regarded as peak legendary combatants. Of course, their slightly weaker endurance is unavoidable.

The first and second female leads in this timeline, after Leon's forceful intervention, repeated accelerations, ups and downs, and back and forth, have already shown their prowess.

Of course, the reason Britta was so strong before she even reached xx was mainly because Leon helped her complete three key tasks, which accelerated her transformation and also gave her more authority and a large amount of sacred energy from the sacred murals, thus making her level up much faster than in the original storyline.

At this moment, they are lying in ambush here for that greedy man who can eavesdrop on the entire capital.

With the help of the information Astalia obtained through magical detection, Leon quickly divined a suitable ambush location. It was behind another church, sheltered from the wind, with no houses nearby, making it suitable for a quick and decisive battle.

Upon arriving here, Lyon took stock of the situation and, unsurprisingly, the most "falsehood within truth" he gained from deceiving Astaria this time was still the phrase "I am a miracle astrologer, an expert in the future causal chain."
