The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 354 - 235: Merlin’s Top Secret Conspiracy!_2

"When the time comes for you to seize power within your party, the Chaos Sect will become the governing Sect of the Avad Church Nation, continuing to lead armies for expansion, to unify the Eastern continent, then to press on westward, declaring war on the Demon Continent to fight for dominance over the seas,"

"Finally, you’ll initiate a coup, eliminate the other six major Sects, and restore the glory of the Era of Chaos from thirty thousand years ago. You’ll establish a new Chaotic Church Nation and rename the Avad Church Nation as the ’Holy Chaos Empire,’ assuming the title of ’Holy Chaos Pope.’

After An Su finished speaking, the room fell into a prolonged silence.

Merlin’s face twisted with frustration, a surge of anger stuck in his chest that he couldn’t spit out or swallow, and he found himself speechlessly choked up.

He felt that An Su had just spoken his true thoughts, planning so detailed and clear, even fantasizing about the future name of the Church Nation and the title upon taking office. It seems like you want to be the "Holy Chaos Pope," huh?

Who knows how much time had passed, the Moon had already risen above the treetops, and its light gradually dimmed. The two looked at each other in the dead silence of the air.

"Those things you just mentioned—"

After a while, Merlin broke the silence, speaking solemnly, "how much of it is true and how much of it did you just make up?"

The vast and clear Holy Light shimmered from within Merlin’s Pure White Eyes, making the world transparent. Tonight’s temperature, the humidity of the air... every piece of information and detail enshrouded in his gaze, within this view, Merlin could see the colors of people’s souls clearly.

Lies could not escape his eyes.

"Guiding through the borderlands is true," An Su counted on his fingers solemnly to Merlin, "that there is a Witch lurking in the Imperial Capital is also true; you’re probably genuinely looking for someone to take the fall for it, and the Bishop of Chaos going missing is true as well. As for the Chaotic Saintess possessing Cersei—at least in the eyes of the Esoteric Sect Followers, that did happen."

So doesn’t that make it all true...

Merlin held his forehead in exasperation.

He knew that An Su had been undercover within the Esoteric Sect for some time now, probably about a month. Merlin had been paying attention to this in the beginning, but later on, he let things take their own course, thinking three little spies couldn’t make much of a wave, especially after An Su got kicked out of Heaven’s group chat and stopped giving weekly reports.

It shouldn’t have been left to develop unchecked.

After this talk, Merlin figured out what An Su was thinking.

"The Bishop of Chaos has gone missing..." Merlin stared at An Su with a cold gaze, "so you want me to impersonate the Bishop of Chaos?"

"My father has already investigated," An Su nodded, "even the Esoteric Sect Legion doesn’t know where the Bishop of Chaos is."

No one knew the whereabouts of the Bishop of Chaos—that was something An Su could guarantee.

In the original story, the Ladder Bishop of the Ladder Sect was a mysterious and powerful Demigod of the whole Esoteric Sect. No one had seen his real face, nor had anyone directly communicated with him, while the Bishop Rada of the Star Sect and Bishop Bram of the Oceanic Sect were well-known.

Not even the Esoteric Sect armies, much less the players with a god’s view, knew the whereabouts of the Bishop of Chaos.

With the whereabouts of the Ladder Bishop unknown, combined with the testimony of An Su, the Quasi-Saint of the Ladder Sect, Merlin had room to impersonate him.

"Maybe it’s a performance for you to see," Merlin said irritably.

"I am certain of this," An Su said earnestly, "To be honest, I’ve already become the Quasi-Saint and Interim Bishop of the Ladder Cult within the Sanctuary of Chaos, but even I don’t know the whereabouts of the Bishop of Chaos. He’s lurking in the shadows, nobody knows what conspiracies he’s plotting."

"When did you become an Interim Bishop?"

Merlin blinked his eyes, not having paid attention to An Su for a while, only to find that the kid had moved up to be a leader while undercover…

If this continued, who’s to say he won’t really become a "Holy Chaos Pope" after some time?

"In summary,"

Feeling Merlin’s astonishment, An Su solemnly coughed and proudly puffed out his chest, adopting the posture of a Pope, "this plan has two benefits: if he’s really lurking and planning something, we can force him into the open with this move."

If the Bishop of Chaos was secretly preparing a major scheme, only to find his home stolen and himself turned into a wanderer like Luo Xiaohei, he would be furious and exposed, revealing Merlin.

What was initially an ambush would now have both sides brought to light, which is clearly beneficial for the Church.

"If he continues to hold back and stays hidden, then you, with the authority of the Bishop of Chaos, can manipulate the Esoteric Sect Legion, joining forces with the borderlands and the Empire to attack from both inside and out, capturing all Esoteric Sect Followers in one fell swoop and once and for all clearing out the Esoteric Sect Legion that has troubled the borderlands for years," An Su spoke calmly, "If it comes to that point, he will have to come forward."

Um... Merlin’s Pure White Eyes flickered as he confirmed An Su hadn’t lied this time. He nodded, indicating that An Su was more reliable this time.

But there was one critical flaw in the plan.

It was a fatal deficiency.

"You’re right about that... but An Su, you need to understand something, you are still too young, your perspective isn’t comprehensive enough, and your ideas aren’t mature enough. It’s precisely for these reasons that you have overlooked the most important detail!"

Merlin’s tone shifted as he sternly pointed out the serious mistake in An Su’s plan, a massive error that would fundamentally prevent the plan from functioning, a significant oversight affecting the core logic, "I don’t want to work two jobs."
