I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 719 Bigeley's Great Fortune (Part Twelve)
The mix of true and false information spread like a poisonous vine, rapidly entangling the already overwhelmed Papacy.

Although the higher-ups knew perfectly well that this was most likely a divisive tactic by the Night Clan, they desperately needed a scapegoat to divert internal pressure and external attention in the face of the colossal failure of the Holy Messiah Cathedral being submerged in "gold."

Not to mention that the fact that the Grand Cathedral could be so easily invaded was somewhat suspicious. After several small meetings and more than a dozen large meetings, everyone agreed that it would be unfair to label all the knights as night owls, but it was unlikely that every single one of them was innocent.

So, who is being framed, and who is truly suspected of having an all-nighter?
This is something we're currently researching!

The pope's nephews and nieces cannot stay up all night; doing so would be tantamount to betraying themselves.

It's impossible for the sons and nephews of the court to stay up all night; doing so would be tantamount to ruining the whole family.

It's impossible for a cardinal's sons and nephews to stay up all night; doing so would be tantamount to bringing down their own leader.

Finally, after various wrangling and exchanges of interests, the bigwigs focused their attention on those small, insignificant families without strong backgrounds.

If you say this is favoritism, people will have their own opinions.

These wealthy and powerful families lack nothing, and these are all gifted children. As long as they follow the proper path, they are destined to enter the upper echelons of the church. It's not impossible for them to extend their lives through divine grace. What's the benefit of joining the Night Church? Why give up being the leader here and run off to become a third-class meritorious citizen?

On the contrary, those geniuses without a powerful backer, without family support, no matter how talented they are, will probably end up as high-level henchmen at best. Those with exceptional talent and a sense of resentment are the most likely to defect to the Night Elf!

Even the origins of their exceptional talent are points open to debate.

Thus, these geniuses naturally became the victims. Investigations, suspensions, transfers from core positions... Once a chain of suspicion is formed, it reinforces itself in the internal strife, and the cracks within the Vatican quietly widen, consuming the energy that should have been used to deal with crises and track down the real culprits.

The Night Clan, who were already prepared, naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by. The Night Knights took the lead in contacting them. If their faith was firm, they weren't afraid. The reason the Night Knights spoke first was because they desperately needed living people. If they were unwilling, then once they were labeled as traitors by the Church, or even executed by the Inquisition, there would naturally be other Night Clan members such as Durahan, Death Knights, Undead, and Liches willing to take them on.

Of course, if there are other needs, the vampire and werewolf leaders will not refuse to spend some resources to obtain a genius member of their race.

What? You'd rather die than be converted...

No problem, there are still gargoyles, right? Just put them in cement blocks as hibernation bases, step on them for a few decades, and new gargoyles will hatch!
Supported by the ignorance system provided by Bigeley, based on blue bars and folk magic, the Night Clan's prison break team began its operation. Meanwhile, the computer department and supercomputers were rapidly being built. Leveraging the wealth and connections accumulated over their long lives, the Night Clan used layers of disguised white-glove companies to recruit unsuccessful computer geniuses, network engineers, and data analysts worldwide. With generous salaries, a research environment unconstrained by worldly morality, supernatural magical power, and even the allure of the potential to transform into a living being, powerful servers were built around the globe.

The procurement and self-development of supercomputers are also proceeding simultaneously. Although it will still take time to acquire the most advanced equipment, with the help of the massive distributed computing power and the readily available technology that Bige obtained from the players and Feng Xue, they have already begun preliminary spell exhaustion.

A brand-new "personalityless spell model" that abandons elemental "intellect" and is driven purely by energy structure and rune sequence is produced in the data stream. Although most of them are scrapped, the occasional flashes of inspiration are enough to make the liches in charge of this matter ecstatic.

However, all of this was done in the shadows. While the Night Clan was secretly arming themselves with new magic, a comprehensive video website that initially made its name with beautiful female anchors but gradually filled its content with the Night Clan's vast reserves had been built. However, there are many competitors of the same type at present, and with AI beauty filters everywhere, this website is not yet well-known.

In contrast, the AI ​​idol—the Goddess of Light—who was personally brought into the fold by the Succubus Queen and nurtured by countless artists, is both pure and lustful, yet stands in the exact opposite position of the pure-lust style, which seems too conspicuous.

Holy, pure, clear... that wondrous feeling that can be felt even through the leather case, ironically stimulates people's desires.

However, the debut of this "Goddess of Light" was not smooth sailing. The title of "Goddess of Light" alone, as well as the description in her personal signature that "in order to restore the reputation of the church, at a time when the tourism industry is in decline, the Goddess of Light has decided to stand up and become an idol," almost instantly attracted strong opposition and reports from a large group of "conservative" religious people.

Accusations of blasphemy and exploiting faith are being leveled one after another. Some of these accusations may genuinely come from devout believers, but many more are simply troublemakers online, guilds trying to force newcomers to join, or peers who can't stand seeing newcomers rise to prominence.

However, this is precisely the most interesting thing about the internet age. So-called "black fame" is still fame. The louder you stir up public opinion, the more attention you will attract, and for a streamer, attention is everything!
Thanks to the efforts of the Night Clan through various channels, the live streaming platform temporarily suppressed the reports, and amidst the overwhelming tide of public opinion, the image of the Goddess of Light began to gain popularity rapidly.

Through the efforts of professionals, a batch of adorable goddess emoji packs began to circulate on major social media platforms across the internet. Many people who never watch live streams also started spreading memes through these emoji packs.

When people who have become accustomed to using emojis see the Goddess of Light's artwork for various reasons, they will naturally become curious, which will attract more attention.

Controversy, controversy, public opinion, memes... all sorts of traffic have drawn viewers to the live stream, and with the carefully planned and excellent content, more and more casual viewers are being drawn in.

At this moment, the Goddess of Light is just a character created by AI code, but she is being trained in real time by the Succubus Queen as the person behind her!
The innate racial talents and the experience accumulated over a long lifespan converge here, and the succubus queen, who is never out of character, accurately captures her target audience. Under her training, the AI ​​of the Goddess of Light also becomes more and more mature, and begins to spread light and love to audiences all over the world.

Despite the Night Clan's small population, compared to the rest of humanity, their presence in the livestream, driven by a sense of mission, easily propelled the "Goddess of Light" to over a million followers. This surge of active followers instantly attracted even more resources, and coupled with the Night Clan's generous donations, the Goddess of Light's famous lines gradually became common knowledge online. The belatedly aware Church of Light finally realized the gravity of the situation…
