Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 117 No destruction, no establishment
After seeing off Lynn and the others, Helena summoned the Holy See of Light team headed by Shifflin to the Golden Palace.

The headquarters of the Holy See of Light is located in the Imperial Capital of the Empire of Light, the City of Light, but it is not actually under the jurisdiction of the Empire of Light. It is an independent organization.

In fact, no matter which empire, the temple and the imperial power are separate. For example, in the Tianming Empire, the Tianming Temple is only responsible for sacrificial work and does not interfere in the affairs of the empire at all. Even the ascension of a new emperor does not need to inform them. The reason is very simple. The clergy are just believers of the gods, while the royal families of the major empires are descendants of the true gods.

I have never heard of a young master asking the steward for his opinion on inheriting the family property, especially since there is no one of the current Holy Emperors in charge of the Temple of Destiny, so its presence is even more insignificant.

But there are also different situations, such as the Holy See of Light. Although it cannot directly interfere in the affairs of the Empire of Light, as the strongest combat force on the continent, the Holy See of Light has an extremely high status in the entire God-blessed Continent.

What's more, as a temple serving the God of Light, the Holy See of Light is the head of faith on the continent. After all, the great God of Light is the King of Gods, the only one at the top of the Pantheon.

When the Empire of Light was first established, the God of Light was not yet the God King, so his descendants were just ordinary nobles of divine blood. However, as time passed, the God King of Light reached the pinnacle of the divine realm, and his descendants did not disgrace his reputation, successfully ascending the throne of the First Empire in the world of miracles.

And this is not the most crucial point. The most important thing is that because the God of Light is the king in the world of gods, it is natural that as the representative of the God of Light's divine power in the world of miracles, the Holy See of Light also has jurisdiction over the major temples.

And because the royal families of the eight empires are all descendants of the true God, in theory, except for the royal family of the Empire of Light, the royal families of the other seven empires must also obey the jurisdiction of the Holy See of Light.

It is only out of respect for the seven main gods that the Holy See of Light has not really exercised this right to this day.

But even if someone doesn't need it, no one can really assume that they don't have it.

So when summoning the ambassador of the Empire of Light, Helena still acted like an emperor, but when summoning Shifflin, she could only treat her as an equal.

The dignified Empress of the Empire can only be on par with the Saint of the Holy See of Light. If she really wants to meet the Holy Emperor of Light who is the Pope, even Helena will have to bow and salute and call him Your Majesty.

"Shiffrin Windsor of the Holy See of Light greets Her Majesty the Queen of Destiny."

Being invited into the Golden Palace with great respect, Shifulin, while lamenting that the Emperor of Heaven's Mandate was far more extravagant than the Emperor of Light, still had the good manners to pay her respects to the Empress of Heaven's Mandate first.

Although with her status, she could meet the emperor without bowing, but when doing serious work, Shifflin still held the chain tightly and did not let it fall.

"Your Highness Shifulin is too polite. You and I are of the same age, so there's no need to be so formal. Just call me sister."

Helena did not sit on the imperial throne, but stood in the hall. She was still very worried about the affairs of the Empire of Heaven, and did not want to offend the people of the Holy See of Light by being too arrogant.

"That's true, you're stupid... Cousin Catherine's sister, so that makes sense for me."

After hearing Helena's words, Shiffrin took advantage of the situation and agreed directly. However, Helena was not sure whether the sisterly relationship she mentioned was because of Katherine or something else.

"Sister Helena, I've already brought the people you asked Cousin Catherine to borrow from us. There are three thousand of them, more than enough to deal with the mess in the Destiny Empire. But... are you really determined? You know, destruction is easy, but reconstruction is much harder."

Speaking of business, Shifflin was no longer frivolous. This time, in addition to the three entourages she brought into the Golden Palace, there were also three thousand troops in the Destiny City outside. These were all borrowed, or rented, by Queen Helena on behalf of Catherine and the Holy See of Light.

Even though there are only 3,000 troops, which cannot be compared with the legions of hundreds of thousands of people, the 3,000 troops of the Holy See of Light can defeat an army of 100,000 no matter where they are deployed.

After all, the Judgment Corps of the Court of Light is one of the top three powerful armies in the Blessed Continent. The other two are the Knights Temple and the Knights Templar, which also come from the Holy See of Light.

Even the fourth-ranked one came from the Holy See of Light, which was their divine magician unit. The reason they were ranked fourth was not because they were weaker, but because there were too few qualified divine magicians. The entire Holy See of Light could only barely muster a team of a thousand people, and was really unable to compete for the top three spots.

"Without destruction, there is no construction. Cutting off the rotten flesh can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Only by eradicating the source of the disease can this empire be saved. I have long been mentally prepared to either save the country and its people from disaster or become the ruler of a ruined nation."

Facing Shiffrin, Helena said with a firm look in her eyes.

Although letting the Judgment of Light take action would cause her empire to flow with blood, it would be better to let those who deserve to die bleed to death than to let the people of the empire be sucked dry and killed for generations.

Since it is all bleeding, then let's drain out the bad blood and pus. When all the blood is drained, naturally only bright red blood will be left in the bloodline of the entire empire.

Even though this desperate bloodletting therapy might very well bring the empire to the brink of collapse...

"Since Sister has such awareness, then give the order. The three thousand Judgments of Light are ready to go and can be dispatched to every corner of the Destiny Empire at any time!"

Shiffrin's expression was extremely serious and earnest. To be honest, this was not the first time that the Judgment of Light had gone to another country to carry out a mission, but the scope of the mission was so wide and the force of the attack was so great that it was unprecedented.

When Catherine came to the Holy See of Light to convey the request of the Queen of Destiny, not only she, but many people in the Holy See of Light felt that the Queen of Destiny might be crazy, and she actually dared to dig up the roots of her own empire. She was not just cutting flesh from her own body, but extracting marrow from her bones. Maybe if she did it well, she could scrape out the root of the disease that had penetrated deep into her bones, but if she did not do it well, she would be courting her own destruction.

The specific probabilities of the two are very disproportionate. The possibility of successful reform is very small. Giving her a 10% chance is just an impression point. The probability of failure is as high as 90%, which is still an underestimation.

To be honest, if it weren't for the gratitude to the mysterious and powerful man beside the Queen of Destiny for saving Catherine's life, the Holy Emperor of Light would not have decided to take on this job, even if the Queen of Destiny offered an unprecedentedly high price, and even if the job of the Judgment Office of Light is to punish evil.

They are the embodiment of justice, but not justice itself, and cannot fight to the death with all evil.
