A single, casual remark effectively shut down everything he wanted to say.

"..."

Declan's face turned ashen; though he was filled with resentment, he had no choice but to lower his head.

"As you command, Your Majesty."

The hall was silent. As Declan bowed and retreated, some of the bishops grew even paler.

Cyril watched Declan disappear through the door, a surge of excitement coursing through his heart.

at last!

After waiting for so many years, I'm finally going to get Irene Wett!

offstage.

The other archbishop remained calm and composed, seemingly completely unconcerned about what had just happened.

……

……

It continued until evening.

Declan arrived at Irenevitt’s mansion with twelve bishops who were comparable to archmages.

He did not force his way in, but explained his purpose and waited for the deputy general to report the news.

His Majesty Cyril said 'please'.

He also obeyed the imperial decree and came personally to 'invite' her. As for whether Princess Irenevitt would agree or not...

That's her own business.

In the Dawn Empire, the Demon Slayer General holds a position equivalent to that of the Pope!

He was merely an archbishop, and had not even officially taken over the Inquisition.

If Princess Irene Vitte is unwilling, can he force her?

During the time the deputy general went to report the news and had not yet returned:

"Your Highness, is what we're doing really the right thing to do...?"

His Majesty Cyril clearly didn't mean for them to actually come and 'invite' him.

Isn't this a bit perfunctory...?

Declan glanced at him:

“If Princess Irenevitt is unwilling to go, then you may go and take her back.”

? !

The legendary Princess Irenevitt is said to be able to kill a corrupted dragon with a single punch, possessing terrifying combat power surpassing even the pinnacle of the Holy Realm.

He could probably be killed with a single breath.

He opened his mouth, but dared not say another word.

Soon, the deputy general who went to report the news returned.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, the General has declined."

Declan's expression remained unchanged.

It was the answer he had expected, but the moment he actually heard it, an uncontrollable surge of anger welled up inside him.

I was furious at Irene Vitte's disrespect.

Her Majesty Cyril is, after all, the new Pope of the Church of Dawn, yet she shows such disrespect...

"Please reconsider, General."

With a cold snort, Declan turned and left.

In fact, if it were Elliott who issued the order, or even if another archbishop had become pope, the situation would have been different.

He would do everything in his power without hesitation to accomplish it.

The papal decree must be carefully considered.

But that person turned out to be Cyril!

Everyone in the upper echelons of the Dawn Church knows that he has been coveting Irene Vitte for quite some time.

He simply couldn't convince himself that all of this was for the glory of the Lord.

……

……

"You're leaving already?"

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Ivia's eyes were filled with confusion.

Actually, when she saw Cyril take over as pope that morning, she guessed that the disgusting old man would come to cause trouble for Irene Vitte.

As for the result...

The person did come, but didn't cause any trouble; they simply came to 'invite' this guy.

After being rejected, he simply left.

Why go through all this trouble to make this trip?

Thinking about it, she looked to the side and saw that Irene Wett was still staring intently at the sky.

Are you alright?

It's been a day.

This guy has been staring at the sky since morning, without even blinking.

She was the one who said the 'no' just now.

emm...

If he cares so much, could the Lord of Dawn be this guy's enemy?

I wonder if her eyes get dry after staring at her for so long.

And Ye Tu, he disappeared after saying those things this morning, and we don't know where he went.

Ivia muttered to herself.

Thinking about it, she turned around and saw a beautiful, tall maid happily drinking red tea, holding her nun's photo book in her hand.

Apart from the dark blue prism embedded in his forehead, he looks just like a real human.

Perhaps sensing that someone was watching her, the maid looked up and met Ivia's gaze:

"Don't worry, Ms. Ivia, I will protect you!"

His tone was very sincere.

Ivia was speechless.

You, a domestic magic puppet with absolutely no combat ability, are here to protect us?

You'd better take care of yourself.

“That won’t do. My lord told me to protect you.” Her tone remained sincere.

Upon hearing this, Irene Wet, who had been staring intently at the sky, finally reacted.

Turn around.

"Ye Tu asked you to protect us?"

"Yes!"

The maid glanced at Ivy and then at Irene Vitte.

Seemingly to make her words more convincing, she tightened her face and adopted a serious expression.

"My lord has to attend to a very important matter. You two are weak, and without my protection, tonight will be very dangerous!"

Actually, the Lord just had her watch.

But to put it more bluntly, if these two weaklings run around, she won't have time to read and study!

This is called a white lie.

Chapter 71 Replacement (Third Update)

? _?

What does 'weak' mean?

Am I really that weak?

Ivia was a little annoyed.

But the thought that Irene Vitte was also described as 'weak' by this increasingly frivolous maid made her feel a bit better.

"tonight?"

Unlike Ivia, Irene Vitte keenly grasped the key point in the words.

"Yup!"

According to the Lord, the Lord of Dawn will fully adapt to the current worldly environment tonight, activate the [Original Sin Angel Alchemy Array], and completely take over the authority.

At that time, all the souls in the Prison of Original Sin will become consumables used by the Lord of Dawn to share the pollution.

And at that time, the Lord will announce his arrival to the world.

emm...

She didn't quite understand.

In short, her task was to keep an eye on Ms. Ivy and Ms. Irene Vitte and wait for the Lord to finish his business.

……

……

Dawn Kingdom.

The Lord of Dawn held a mirror no bigger than the palm of his hand, looking down upon the Dawn Empire.

The purgatory of original sin is teeming with souls; the materials for the [Angel of Original Sin] are ready; even the variable that neutralizes the pollution remains within the Dawn Empire…

Everything was prepared, and everything was going as He expected. He could even feel the authority shifting toward Him.

But why do I still feel so uneasy...?

Within its golden-white pupils, divine fire leaped continuously, and the entire holy city of Loser was revealed within this pulsating flame.

At the Dawn Cathedral, Cyril was furious at Declan's perfunctory attitude and was preparing to personally lead the team there.

His target, the Ice Warrior of this generation, gazed at the sky, his eyes seemingly filled with... 'hatred'?

So that's how it is. She already knew about what happened back then?

It seems that after taking over power, I'll have to get rid of her.

With a thought, the scene reflected in his eyes changed, encompassing the area surrounding the holy city of Loser.

Deep in a remote forest, Lorne, whose body has already shown signs of partial mutation, is cultivating, absorbing the omnipresent 'Ancient God Pollution' in a peculiar way to suppress the ever-growing 'Immortal Path Pollution'.

Immortal Path...

A unique system that can neutralize the pollution of ancient gods, comprehensive and powerful, with almost no shortcomings except for its extremely high inherent risks.

Unfortunately, He has gone too far into the current system and it is impossible for Him to start over.

At most, we can only borrow it for a short time.

After that, we still need to restrict its spread.

This dangerous and powerful system should not be known to too many people.

Soon, with another transformation in the manifestation of the divine fire in the pupil, the entire Dawn Empire appeared in His eyes.
