Chapter 848: Ultimate Battle at Brilda Sky Arena_2
Even though at this moment they seem to believe Lanci has completely altered Loren's character according to his own ideas, at this moment he has truly succeeded in cornering Hesintos, making Hesintos, who wished for a benevolent coronation, find himself in a dilemma.
At this time, if Hesintos makes a move, he will become a tyrant who disregards the lives of the residents.
A person who wants to destroy everything must pretend to protect everyone, while a person who wants to protect everything must pretend to destroy everyone, despite how absurd and ironic this may seem, it perfectly achieves the balance Lanci spoke of.
They know that Cat Boss has already fallen asleep and won't wake for a while, because the Ninth-order spell used just now has a side effect—
[Night Dew Wind Whisper]
[Category: Spell Card]
[Grade: Pink Holy]
[Attribute: Wind/Heal]
[Level: 9]
[Effect: Consumes all mana and causes oneself to fall asleep, granting group immunity to all targets within the area, gradually restores life and mana, cool-down time 1 hour.]
[Note: When the distant sunlight shines upon the depths of the dream, you will wake when the gentle breeze blows again.]
It is currently gradually restoring mana, and there is no problem continuing to transform into Cat Lun upon waking.
But it doesn't matter.
Anyway, Lanci can endure more than the real Loren, so even if a real fight breaks out later, exchanging a few rounds with Hesintos won't be a problem.
On the altar steps in front of Saint Astore Palace.
"..."
Hesintos said nothing, refusing to impulsively answer the other party's tempting question, he smiled faintly.
He just understood one thing in his heart.
That is, who Violet's collaborator truly is.
At the moment he successfully captured Rashal and Violet, leaving them both mutually defeated, he suspected that someone had preemptively defeated Rashal.
From the successful application of Blood Control Heart, amidst Rashal's confused illusion filled with psychological shadows, he could only see a white-robed figure named "Saint Polante Pope."
Unable to truly master Blood Control Heart, he didn't dwell on Rashal's past any longer, efficiently manipulating Rashal to perform the truly important show.
Now indeed, Violet's collaborator has come to him.
However, it's also good, settling new and old scores together saves him from having to unearth this group of hidden enemies later.
"Hesintos, Simon Luo needs time to reinforce the barrier."
The Fifth War God Yunmu Lugayard gently opened his previously closed eyes, speaking to Hesintos with a hint of worry.
If Hesintos and Loren start fighting at this moment, the entire Brilda will surely suffer great devastation.
Since Loren has proposed a compromise plan, accepting this plan would not be excessive.
As a physician, he does not wish to see more innocent civilians suffer.
"Great Priest Loren..."
The Imperial Army God near the Saint Astore Palace side of Cret Memorial Square, whether gazing at Hesintos or frowning at the direction where the White Robed Pope Loren stands.
The bad news is the enemy really has an unpredictable Ninth-order, the good news is the opponent is not a chaotic evil person, and the famously noble and benevolent Great Priest Loren, now merely stands opposed in position.
If the identification at the moment of Loren's successful spell casting wasn't erroneous.
Even if the spell's information can't be fully identified, the fragments that can be deciphered indicate it's a sacred-grade group immune field wind magic, and it's definitely Ninth-order.
Besides the matter of Loren reaching Ninth-order, another issue also begins to linger in the gods' hearts.
"We have a traitor."
The Seventh Army God Philip of Blood Jade bluntly voices what all the gods are thinking.
Not only is Loren secretly released, but it's also quite strange that so many Eighth-orders could infiltrate Brilda; their arrival today seems premeditated. Having prepared so early likely means a god has collaborated with them, leaking information.
And as undeniable evidence, the release of Loren leaves only two possibilities—
Either Gaiat personally unsealed Loren.
Or there's collusion from other gods inside and out, assisting high-order sealers in rescuing Loren from the Phantom Realm.
Listening to Loren, it seems likely that Shuicang Jade Wellet rescued Loren.
Now Wellet's whereabouts are unknown, without the dead as witnesses, perfectly erasing Gaiat's suspicion.
The more it seems this way, the more Gaiat appears suspicious.
Why did he bring Loren back, why did Loren happen to be in Brilda, why does Loren have such a powerful Eighth-order force around him?
When all coincidences add together, despite finding causal logic, it's hard not to suspect that Gaiat is actually collaborating with Loren.
Gaiat's palms are sweating.
He feels that at this moment, he's undoubtedly the biggest suspect.
Even Hesintos was watching him just now.
But only he knows, the traitor isn't him!
The one who saved Loren from his [Phantom Realm] is definitely someone else.
The cloud of suspicion spreads beneath the gods' cornerstone seat in Cret Memorial Square.
Even the gods present are reluctant to erupt into battle in the confined area of Cret Memorial Square.
Compared to the painful memories of having to confront companions three nights ago, their greater fear is that someone truly betrayed them and might suddenly backstab them without control.
"Great Priest Loren, in that case, I trust you."
Hesintos, observing everything, could only suppress his murderous intent, maintaining his persona to agree with Loren.
