The pitch-black night sky instantly brightened. Dazzling, incandescent light illuminated the entire city.

“Wait, is this Holy Light?”

Numerous Executors, who had taken advantage of El-Nahat’s earlier major move to flee from various alleys, felt the light shining upon them—a trace of astonishment flashed across their faces as they lifted their heads to look at the blazing sun above.

Upon seeing the divine figure radiating within the blazing sun, the Executors immediately widened their eyes.

With faces full of ecstatic fervor, they all knelt on the ground, chanting a resounding hymn—

In a corridor on the seventh floor of a certain tall building, Narbareck’s face alternated between shades of livid and pale as she looked at the figure within the blazing sun in the sky—

—She then lowered her head to look at the mummy tightly wrapped by the Shroud of Turin, and with a look of astonishment, stopped the recovery-type technique in her hand.

“Are you kidding me?! He’s been dead for over 2000 years, why is he reanimating now!!!”

Before the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window, Lorelei looked astonishedly at Haru, wrapped in the Shroud of Turin below.

Seeing that dense holy light, she said incredulously, “That fellow is a descended God???”

Not long after the Burial Agency confronted Haru, Lorelei had already noticed the situation on the street.

Not only because Narbareck had smashed through the floor above hers, but more so because Haru, whom she hated to the bone, being ambushed made her feel extremely satisfied. She naturally wanted to see Haru’s tragic end.

As for the Dispelling Bystanders formation arranged with ley lines by the Lord of the White Wing to maintain the secrecy of Mystery—it was naturally useless against Lorelei, who was also a Magus.

Therefore, Lorelei immediately discovered the situation of the Shroud of Turin resonating with Haru. Her originally hostile gaze instantly changed, replaced by an incredibly thirsty one.

“A LIVING GOD!” Lorelei stared intently at Haru’s back, her eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

Lorelei was an orthodox Magus trained by the Barthomeloi family. Since she was an orthodox Magus, she naturally possessed a Magus’s mad thirst for knowledge.

The young man below was a Mystery from the Age of Gods, which had disappeared for 2000 years—a god said to be above all things! If she could dissect him, study the mysteries of a divine body!

Haru, wrapped like a mummy, suddenly felt an ominous premonition, as if being stared at by something terrifying.

Suddenly, Lorelei’s face turned deathly pale—

Although superficially harmonious, the Mage’s Association was actually hostile towards the Holy Church—

—And now that the Head of the Holy Church had actually appeared, would the Mage’s Association have good days ahead?

“I must quickly return to the family and inform Father to make necessary preparations!” Lorelei immediately turned and left the hotel suite.

——

Pitch-black crows densely covered the sky, their crimson bird eyes fiercely watching Altrouge on the ground below.

Anyone with trypophobia would probably be scared mad—after all, those countless bird eyes covering the entire sky were filled with a chilling coldness and madness that made one’s hair stand on end.

The 10-meter-tall Lady Windup demon swooped down, rushing before Altrouge.

With ‘kaka’ sounds, its chest abruptly cracked open. Dozens of cannon muzzles extended from within its body, azure light already ready to fire.

Altrouge’s expression remained unchanged. Her left index finger twitched slightly.

Blood carrying a sweet scent abruptly appeared, then suddenly erupted, transforming into a blood whip that lashed, seemingly slow yet actually fast, against the pile of cannon muzzles.

Carried by the whip’s force, the Lady Windup demon’s body tilted sharply. The angle of the cannon muzzles immediately shifted, and azure cannon fire instantly erupted.

BOOM—!

Dozens of blue light pillars bombarded the crow flock above, directly blasting through the bird flock, turning the birds within a hundred-meter range directly into slag!

Bright moonlight shone upon the earth.

“Damn it! Lady Windup, you shot wrong!” Merem, sensing the gloomy gaze of Gransurg chanting an incantation above, his face immediately stiffened as he shouted fiercely.

However, in his heart, he was endlessly cursing Gransurg’s stinginess. Wasn’t it just accidentally slaughtering some familiars? Was it necessary to be so murderous?

Even while cursing, Merem’s hand movements didn’t stop—

The King of Sky, floating above, swooped down, charging towards Altrouge. From its abdomen below, countless beast swarms transformed into cannonballs, smashing towards Altrouge.

Black and red brilliance condensed between Altrouge’s hands. Subsequently, she stomped on the ground, fully absorbing ley line energy. Her entire being transformed into a mobile turret, blasting terrifying magic cannons towards the sky as if they were free.

BOOM—! BOOM—! BOOM—! BOOM—! BOOM—!

Continuous rolling explosions constantly resounded in the sky above. The sky immediately rained down a red shower composed of flesh and blood.

Watching the crow clones being continuously bombarded into slag by the magic cannons, Gransurg’s face immediately darkened incredibly. He forcefully suppressed his anger, speeding up the chanting of the Bounded Field

incantation in his mouth.

———

Schlick—! Schlick—!

Fou brandished its claws, swiftly tearing apart the chimera-like Dead Apostles besieging it into countless pieces. Its pure white fur was completely covered by crimson blood and minced meat, as if a layer of blood-colored armor had been draped over it.

“Pahh! Can’t kill them all!”

Subsequently, Fou abruptly lifted its claws, clashing head-on with the hundred-meter giant beast swooping down from above—Merem’s familiar, the King of Land.

The blood bricks on the ground were directly shattered by the shockwave from the terrifying impact. The King of Land was even sent flying back dozens of meters, directly crashing through dozens of residential houses, splashing up a sky full of dust.

Subsequently, surging Dead Apostles attacked again, tightly holding back Fou, who wanted to finish off the King of Land.

Fou was very agitated—

Although its opponents were all weaklings and easy to deal with, their numbers were simply too overwhelming.

Specializing in close combat, it truly lacked the ability to resolve them all in one go. As for its human-slaying privilege—there wasn’t a single living human present…

Just as Fou was about to go berserk from agitation, the sky suddenly cleared up.

Brilliant incandescent light abruptly shone down, shining on everyone.

“Holy Light!!!”

The faces of the four Dead Apostle Ancestors present suddenly changed drastically.

They all turned their gazes towards the conspicuous sun in the sky—Upon seeing the faintly visible figure within, they looked completely bewildered.
