Seven Deadly Sins System

Once Chu Wuyao stepped inside the hall, she found that her Teacher, High Priest Hayden, was standing at the very center of it, right in front of a golden statue.

The golden statue was of the Creation God, meaning that it was actually a big ball.

Looking at Hayden's solemn and pious expression when he stared at the golden ball, Chu Wuyao's eyes became strange.

An awkward silence spread in the hall and it took a few seconds for Hayden to speak up.

"Audrey, how are you feeling? Have you become familiar with the Holy Church?", Hayden asked in a gentle tone, his eyes never leaving the Creation God's statue.

Hearing his question, Chu Wuyao took a few more steps forward and then, she nodded her head slightly:

"It's fine."

Her answer was very brief and her attitude was not very good, but Hayden didn't seem to mind.

After all, although it was said that he was her teacher, in fact, they had only met twice so far.

If Chu Wuyao was actually very respectful of him, he would have found it strange.

So, he smiled slightly and went straight to the point.

"I've communicated with the Pope of the Holy Church and the other High Priests and we've unanimously decided that you'll be appointed as the Saint of the Holy Religion, tasked with spreading the belief of our Lord and fighting for the Holy Church.

Before Chu Wuyao could say anything or ask any question she might have, Hayden had already continued:

"I know that you might think that it seems a bit too early to appoint you as the Saint of the Holy Religion, but we actually have a reason to do so.", he said and he paused for a split second.

"The Pope has decided that the Demon Cult has gone too far and we should wipe out this threat as soon as possible."

"With a battle being inevitable, we have to boost the morale of the other Priests, as well as the morale of our believers."

"After a long discussion with the Pope, the High Priests believe that you are the most suitable person to become a Saint and carry the torch of the Holy Religion forward."

"Whether it is because of your talent, your strength, or your status as my apprentice, the believers and the Priests will surely accept your appointment."

Hayden explained everything in detail, letting Chu Wuyao know the reason behind this seemingly abrupt decision.

Compared to her sudden increase in status, Chu Wuyao cared more about the latter part of Hayden's speech.

"Is the Holy Church going to war against the Demon Cult?", she couldn't help but ask, her expression turning solemn.

Hearing this, Hayden didn't deny nor confirm anything, but his silence explained everything.

Demon Cult.

This was the name of a force that Chu Wuyao had heard many times since she joined the Holy Church and by now, she was very familiar with it.

Just as its name would suggest, the Demon Cult is a force composed of demons, the mortal enemies of the human race.

In fact, in the Inheritance World, the word "demons" is used to describe every creature that is able to possess extraordinary strength but is not a human.

In the Cultivation World, the demons of this world would be considered monsters and they would be further divided into different monster races.

This is already enough for the Demon Cult to be the Holy Church's enemy, but there is also another major reason.

Just like the Holy Church believes in the Creation God, the Demon Cult also believes in a certain deity, whose name is Destruction God.

The Demon Cult believes that the Destruction God is actually the evil side of the Creation God and sooner or later, he is bound to bring down punishment and destroy this world and all the world's creatures with it.

Obviously, for the Holy Church, a religion that has such teachings is bound to be a thorn on their side and they will do everything they can to completely eradicate it.

Still, Chu Wuyao had many doubts, but she hid them quite well and didn't ask any question.

"That's it. I asked you to come just to inform you so that you can be prepared.", Hayden said and waved his hand casually, motioning Chu Wuyao to leave.

Seeing this, Chu Wuyao wouldn't stay here any longer and after she saluted, she stepped out of the hall and closed the door behind her.

The moment she stepped out, a young man that wore a long golden robe appeared right next to Hayden.

Although he was a Holy Magician, Hayden was completely unable to see when or how the young man appeared and it was very possible that he had always been here.

However, Hayden wasn't surprised by his sudden appearance.

"Pope, are we really going to go on war with the Demon Cut?"

"If we do, the Holy Church is bound to suffer countless casualties.", Hayden couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him and asked.

In response, the Pope let out a sigh:

"I already know. Believe me, if I had to, I also wouldn't want to go to war."

Saying this, the Pope's eyes turned sharp and he continued:

"But with the appearance of those extraterrestrial demons, the pattern of this world has changed."

"According to our spies, the Demon Cult has taken in many extraterrestrial demons and it's very obvious that they're planning something."

"Before it is too late, we have to take action."

When Hayden heard this, he wanted to retort, but he knew very well that what the Pope said was the truth.

Thinking of the many people that were bound to die in the incoming war, Hayden became a little sad.

But soon, he calmed down.

As a Holy Magician, Hayden knew how to make the right choice.

"Are you sure that Audrey isn't a spy sent by the Demon Cult or the Sun Kingdom, or even, an extraterrestrial demon?"

"Don't worry, I've already checked her information and even asked the Lord for guidance."

"You can be sure that Priest Audrey is the most suitable person to become a Saint."
