Luo Yuxi looked at the two panels, her eyes wide. She had suspected the Church was holding back, but she hadn’t expected them to have three First Order powerhouses.

“The Seats of Generosity and Hope…”

She recalled the roundtable meeting. These two had supported her. And now, they were both First Order.

“But even with three First Orders, the Nameless Witch…”

“Our chances are slim, but we have you~”

“Me?”

Luo Yuxi didn’t understand. She was weaker than a soldier. What could she do? Lika simply smiled.

[Sacrificial Divine Art: Life Contract]

“????”

Before Luo Yuxi could react, Lika coughed up blood, her aura weakening, and she collapsed.

“What are you doing?!?”

“The… rest… is up to you… cough, cough…”

Lika gave her a thumbs-up and fainted. Luo Yuxi, stunned, immediately began casting resurrection spells.

“Why did you use a forbidden art again?!?”

[Divine Art: Heal]
[Divine Art: Resurrection]

Meanwhile, in the sky, the All-Knowing Witch, facing three First Order beings, was constantly calculating their every move. Suddenly, a red chain appeared, wrapping around her.

“This trick again…”

The All-Knowing Witch, although still calm, was annoyed. She was a demigod, and she was being constantly debuffed by these mortals.

“The Church is just a bunch of ruthless bastards…”

“So what? If we can’t kill you, what else is there to lose…?”

Ailani, the Word Spirit Saintess, covered in armor, looked at the red chain in surprise. This divine art was life-threatening. And the price for weakening a demigod was always terrifying. How could Lika, the Seat of Sacrifice, afford to cast it a second time?

[Divine Art: Dice of Fate]
[Domain Expansion: Pandora’s Box]

Meredith, the Seat of Hope, clasped her hands, and a giant die appeared above them, another one appearing above the All-Knowing Witch.

“Saintess, I’ll create an opportunity~”

Meredith’s eyes narrowed, her light purple hair flowing. A square box appeared above them. The All-Knowing Witch recognized it as a rule-based domain.

Ailani looked at Meredith and sighed, grabbing her collar.

“I told you not to open your domain unless absolutely necessary!”

“I-I just wanted to help~”

Meredith, although a First Order bishop, was known for her low presence. Her skills, though powerful, were often indiscriminate, harming both friend and foe.

“Don’t worry, Saintess, my luck has been good lately~!”

As she spoke, the dice began to roll. Ailani, holding her bow, charged forward.

“If I survive this, I’m going to seal your Order level and throw you into a brothel!”

Ailani’s words were filled with rage, but Meredith just shrugged and snapped her fingers.

“A gambler of fate never lacks the greed to pursue hope~”

[Divine Art: Dice of Fate]

All-Knowing Witch Shizhi: 2 points
Word Spirit Saintess Ailani: 4 points√
Seat of Hope Meredith: 5 points√
Seat of Generosity Aesf: 4 points√

[High point wins]

Meredith smiled triumphantly. Ailani, who had been clenching her fists, relaxed. Leaving victory to fate was the most reckless skill she had ever seen.

“We’re so lucky~”

“So? Do I have to give you some money…?”

The All-Knowing Witch was unimpressed by her low roll. Meredith simply smiled. The giant Pandora’s Box opened, and four black mists shot out towards the All-Knowing Witch.

“Is this your trick? Not bad…”

The All-Knowing Witch absorbed the four black mists without any discomfort, but as she took a step, she felt a wave of weakness.

[Sloth][Disease][Hatred][Envy]

“Damn it, what are these?!”

The All-Knowing Witch felt a strange mixture of emotions, her body becoming tired and uncomfortable. Meanwhile, golden crystals flew out of the box and into the three of them, their energy restored, their bodies even more agile.

[Recovery][Agility]

“Only two? Just a little luck, I guess…”

Meredith shook her head, disappointed. The side with more people was considered the winner. The winner received a buff, the loser a random debuff. A seemingly useless skill, yet she had mastered it to First Order. Aesf, the Seat of Generosity, who had been silent, placed her hands on their shoulders.

“The rest is up to you two. Fighting isn’t my specialty, but I’ll do my best to support you…”
