Volume 3: Angel Sanctuary Arc
Chapter 18: Turmoil
Luo Yuxi’s mind was a whirlwind of information, her body feeling as if it were about to burst.
“No, too much, I can’t take it anymore!”
“Just forge the divine halo, and you’ll be a demigod~!”
The Nameless Witch looked at the faint, pink halo behind Luo Yuxi, her vacant eyes now filled with a glimmer of hope.
As the energy gathered, Luo Yuxi curled into a ball, the immense power and knowledge forming a cocoon around her. The purple crystal statue moved, cradling the cocoon in its hands.
“It’s happening~ It’s happening~!”
The Nameless Witch watched as the energy stabilized, knowing that when the prison’s power was fully gathered, a new god would be born. The pink divine halo spun, and just as she was about to celebrate, a loud banging came from the church doors.
“The gods’ hounds, they’ve smelled it…”
Meanwhile, outside the Holy City, Sarivee pounded on the massive gates, but they wouldn’t budge. She realized that even as an angel, she couldn’t re-enter.
“Why? What’s happening?”
Sarivee leaned against the gate, defeated. She looked towards the territories of the giants and dragons.
“I can’t just wait here…”
She spread her wings and flew towards the giant territory.
Back in the Witch Kingdom, Doris, her heart repaired, stretched her body, the side effects of her power overuse gone.
“It seems your divine arts are quite powerful~”
Doris looked at the girl in bishop’s robes, who was now healing Peronice. Surrounded by witches, she seemed out of place.
“The Goddess wants us to be tolerant of all. Even though you’re witches, to prevent you from going berserk…”
Duo Mama, the Seat of Tolerance, had never imagined helping a Deadly Sin Witch, but seeing the devastated battlefield, she understood the intensity of the fight.
“Even so, thank you~”
“Since Holy Nun Luo Yuxi has subdued all seven of you, there should be no problem from a political standpoint…”
Duo Mama continued to heal, her 3rd Order power easily mending Peronice’s destroyed heart.
“Oh, right, I’ve been subdued. But I didn’t expect her to tell you that…”
As Doris was about to say more, Xia kicked her and looked at Duo Mama.
“Thank you for your assistance. The Seven Deadly Sins have been completely controlled by Nun Luo Yuxi’s Witch Domination. There’s no need to worry…”
“I know, it was mentioned in the report. But I didn’t expect her to be able to control the Seven Deadly Sins in such a short time…”
Duo Mama finished bandaging Peronice, who, her throat healed, raised her hand and said hoarsely,
“I… will never be controlled by anyone… I’m not controlled! No one can control me!!”
“Uh… is she…?”
Duo Mama looked at the defiant Peronice. Doris walked over and kicked her.
“It’s fine, don’t mind her. That’s just her personality. She’s actually under control~”
“I see… then, these tentacles…”
Duo Mama pointed at the tentacles wrapped around her ankle, which were slowly creeping up her leg.
Doris looked and saw Dorolo, who had returned to her normal form, her hat still gnashing its teeth.
“So hungry, so hungry, so hungry~!!”
“That big sister looks delicious…”
“Wait, you can’t eat her! Hold on!”
Doris pulled the tentacles back and stuffed them under Dorolo’s skirt. Duo Mama was suspicious.
“Are you… really under control?”
“O-Of course! I… I’ve been completely brainwashed…”
“But brainwashed people don’t say they’ve been brainwashed…”
Thud!
Duo Mama was about to press further when Xia collapsed. Duo Mama rushed over.
“Her magic power is severely depleted…”
She channeled her magic into Xia, replenishing her power in an instant. She had forgotten what she wanted to ask.
“Since you’ve all recovered…”
“Now, it’s my turn.”
Yuehua Fengyun, who had been silent, stepped forward, looking at the 2nd Order witches, and swallowed nervously. She was only a 3rd Order.
“According to the report from the current Saintess, Xia, regarding your battle with the Time Witch, we understand everything…”
The Church had already sent scouts to investigate. 12 bishops had been sent, but only two had entered, fearing a trap. Yuehua Fengyun looked at the note in her hand and took a deep breath. She had never imagined she would be giving orders to witches. Her vision was being broadcast to the bishops at the border church.
“Are these witches really under control? It seems a bit unreal.”
“Should we have the Seat of Honesty use her Eye of Truth?”
“No, no, you go, I think I’ll be killed…”
“The Church’s Divine Punishment Army is assembled and ready to march to the Far South…”
“This is an international conflict, we need to pass through the Elven Kingdom…”
“I’ve already spoken with the Elf Queen. She’s quite reasonable. But her daughter also wants to join the fight~”
“The Punishment Nuns are ready…”
…
As the bishops discussed, a golden figure at the head of the table looked at the screen, her aura chilling.
“The Church’s people were endangered in the Angelic Kingdom. Wipe it out…”
A single sentence, and the hall fell silent. The Word Spirit Saintess, Ailani, stood up and looked at the ten bishops, then at Lika, the Seat of Sacrifice.
“If their First Order joins the fight, how many of our own can we deploy?”
“If I go all out, including me, we have five First Orders…”
“Deploy them all. The Church has been silent for too long. Let the blood tribe in the north, the elves in the south, the sea tribe in the east, and the demons in the northwest see our power…”
Ailani’s eyes were cold as she looked at the map. The Church’s territory was the largest on the continent, but it was still much smaller than it had been a hundred years ago.
“The Time Witch, who we were concerned about, has been sealed. Assemble all armies, mobilize all registered nuns, and wipe out that winged race.”
Yuehua Fengyun relayed the order to the four witches. Although there were only four of them, their combat power was comparable to the Church’s.
“Just rescue your Master. The Church will make this situation even more chaotic…”
“Really? That makes things much simpler~”
