Chapter 768: Chapter 472: Thunder, You Don’t Want the Twilight Saintess to Be Revived Either, Right? (Ten-Thousand-Word Mega Chapter) (Part 6)

Amidst a crowd of people, Alice stepped onto the stage in the square.

She looked at the sea of people below, waved with a smile.

Originally, she intended to stir up trouble in such a public setting, saying something outrageous, like suggesting priests use lightning to strike their own heads as a way to boost their loyalty to the Master of Thunder.

Whether it would increase loyalty, Alice didn’t know, but it should definitely raise the death rate among Thunder Priests.

However, she never expected that the Archbishops had anticipated Alice would spout some crazy talk and had already written her speech.

In fact, Alice could choose not to follow the speech since she was the Pope, after all.

But considering her own plans, Alice decided to be patient, figuring that destroying the Church of the Master of Thunder was only a matter of time, so there was no need to rush.

Still, Alice thought encouraging Thunder Priests to strike themselves with lightning was a rather good idea.

Alice finished reading the speech without causing any trouble.

Even the Archbishops, who had prepared various contingency plans, were surprised, including Shen Sui.

You are surprisingly steady!

Who on earth are you?!

Soon, the most critical moment of the papal ceremony arrived.

Alice stepped onto the altar to call upon the Gods, where she was going to summon the Master of Thunder.

At this moment, Shen Sui was starting to feel worried again.

If he wasn’t there as a backup, could Alice really handle such an emergency situation where her fake identity would be unveiled by the Master of Thunder?

He thought maybe he should help Alice cover it up.

Shen Sui softened, thinking that enduring Alice’s silent criticism was better than triggering the Master of Thunder’s wrath, causing all of Alice’s plans to fall apart.

[Alice looked at the solemn statue of the Master of Thunder before her.]

[If the miracle summoning succeeds this time, she should be able to completely master the power of Thunder.]

[Hm. How should she use this power?]

[Maybe use it on the puppet.]

Following Alice’s train of thought, Shen Sui began considering this matter as well.

[Speaking of puppets... if Thunder’s power were added to Vivian’s puppet, would Claude feel something unique?]

I’ve heard of freezing and burning sensations, but what special feeling does being electrified have?

Shen Sui thought instinctively.

No way!

Damn! What are you daydreaming about in such a serious situation?!

Shen Sui nearly spit out his drink.

At just that time, the summoning ritual for the Master of Thunder was completed.

[The Master of Thunder has descended.]

[Alice only felt her soul touched by something.]

[In the next moment, the angry voice of the Master of Thunder rang in Alice’s ear.]

["You deceived me! Heretic!"] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Oh no, it’s too late.

Shen Sui palmed his face, not knowing what to say.

Alice, don’t daydream when I’m making critical decisions.

Now it’s too late for me to shield your soul.

Forget it, forget it.

If the Master of Thunder doesn’t know what’s good for him, then just destroy him.

Shen Sui thought in his heart.

[What happened?]

[Alice was bewildered. But she quickly guessed the situation; the Master of Thunder had discovered her fake identity.]

[Alice wasn’t quite sure which layer the Master of Thunder saw.]

Shen Sui was also thinking about this.

Alice had Vivian’s tool on her; after Baris’s accidental exposure, Vivian had improved the technology, so Alice’s real secret was likely to bypass the Master of Thunder’s detection, but the Adoma cover was probably unsalvageable.

Moreover, the Master of Thunder could clearly see that Alice had no loyalty whatsoever.

[Alice contemplated her countermeasure.]

[Alice devised a strategy.]

[Alice yawned, "Why are you shouting so loud?"]

???

Whoa...

Seeing Alice’s response, Shen Sui could only marvel, thinking that anyone not in the know might think Alice could easily swat the Master of Thunder.

[The Master of Thunder was utterly enraged and delivered divine punishment upon Alice.]

[The blessing of the Holy Spring Fish King blocked this divine punishment.]

[Alice glanced at the followers below out of the corner of her eye; none of them reacted at all, indicating that the Master of Thunder’s voice and even his divine punishment were conducted within his hidden Divine Realm, not publicly.]

Of course, since Alice was holding the Thunderbolt Certificate personally issued by the Master of Thunder, if it publicly revealed Alice as a traitor in disguise, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face?

The Gods sustain their faith through a sense of mystery.

If they lose their allure, would followers remain as devoted?

[Alice raised her head, looking at the Master of Thunder, revealing a proud smile, "Why so angry, Thunder? I just want to make a deal with you."]

["A deal?" The Master of Thunder murmured, shocked that Alice could withstand the divine punishment.]

["Do you remember Vivian Yimiti?"]

[Alice distinctly felt the trembling of the Master of Thunder.]

["Hmph! It’s just a mere mortal..."]

["Exactly, a mere mortal." Alice remarked mockingly.]

[Alice bringing up Vivian unexpectedly seemed to make the Master of Thunder suspicious, and his previously overwhelming anger subsided.]

[He gazed at Alice.]

[Although he just saw through this woman’s soul, why does she still feel so mysterious to him?]

[Beneath this guise of Adoma, who is she really?]

[The Master of Thunder watched Alice, "What exactly do you want to say?"]

["You’ve grown quite timid, Thunder." Alice laughed wildly, "If I were you, I would’ve already turned someone, who dared to offend the Gods, into ashes. Let me guess why, could it be because you recently met the Twilight Saintess?"]

[The Master of Thunder fell silent.]

[ "Well, that’s the content of the deal I want to propose, Thunder." ]

[Alice raised her hand, a trace of twilight power gathering at her fingertips:]

["Thunder, you wouldn’t want the Twilight Saintess to be revived, would you?"]
