Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

"Oh, sorry, I didn't manage my time well. I'll be there right away!"

As soon as Jefel opened her mouth, Domi knew she was putting on an acting show again, probably trying to create a lively and cheerful persona.

He couldn't help but chuckle, then called forty-seven and Afu to follow.

The double doors between the ceremonial platform and the main hall finally opened precisely at noon, and Jeifer once again appeared in the eyes of the world. However, this time, she was no longer a novice nun in the convent, but a saint who was second only to the emperor!

People chanted her name, and she solemnly and dignifiedly proclaimed in her clear and moving voice the responsibilities she would bear to the Papacy, the people, and the Holy See.

Then, the Pope, dressed in magnificent clothes and even appearing somewhat overweight, came before Geoffrey, took the robe from the attendant that carried special power and symbolized the supreme status of the saintess, and personally draped it over Geoffrey's shoulders.

She lowered her head and accepted this special honor with a clear conscience.

The phantom of the deity slowly appeared, and everyone bowed down in worship.

The Pope spoke slowly to Jephel:

"By the witness of the glorious God and the people, Jephel, you shall become a saint."

"You are clothed in holy robes, and supreme power and authority are bestowed upon you. You will also bear the responsibility of protection, safeguarding the future of the glorious Papacy."

"Would you be willing?"

Jefur closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, bowed her head before the Pope, and said, "I do."

In an instant, the unique power contained within the priest's robe poured out, showering upon Jefel like heavenly dew, causing her own power to surge upwards...

Yusha Rose is a battle saint not only because her strength is unparalleled, but also because the robe she wears gives her a second boost in this aspect.

This is the robe of a Saint Seiya priest!

Its effect was equally effective on another saintess.

At this moment, Domi, standing behind as a backdrop, could clearly sense the vortex of power surging around Jefel.

But that wasn't all; the glorious god even bestowed enormous blessings upon His new daughter.

This situation has only occurred once in the entire history of the Holy See, and it was caused by the most powerful saintess. Now it has happened again!

what does this mean?

This means that another powerful saintess is about to step onto the world stage and lead the Holy See to an even greater era!

Hidden in a corner of the ceremonial platform, the court photographer used the finest magical projector to record this historic moment, including the 'backdrops' behind him...

Chapter 163, Section 162: The Trial Ends, Time to Go Home

"My lord, I must say I cannot accompany you any further."

Outside the Cathedral of Saints in the Papal Palace complex, Scott, Jeifer's guardian knight, spoke these words.

Two powerful warriors, standing proudly like pine trees on either side of the hall, silently reminded everyone of the rule—only the Holy Maiden herself could enter the Holy Maiden's Hall.

That is where the original statues of the twelve saints and saints stand, and where their robes are kept.

As for why the male saint is still called by this name, the reason is actually very simple: the minority obeys the majority. There are eleven saintesses, but only one saint...

However, there was no difference in their status, position, or power, hence the name.

Hearing this, Jefel nodded slightly, hugged the Holy Scripture in her arms even tighter, and whispered:

"I understand, Mr. Scott, please wait here for a moment." With that, she walked toward the door.

Scott naturally had no objections; Jef's orders were absolute. So he stood loyally in place, staring at the two old guards, waiting to see who would blink first...

As the temple doors slowly opened, a sacred and immaculate aura wafted out.

Although this description is a bit abstract, that was Jefle's first impression.

Walking on the soft red carpet, the golden light shone through the stained glass, illuminating her hair and the path ahead. On each side of the road stood six lifelike stone statues, each two stories high.

As a saintess, it is only natural for her to come to the Saintess Hall to pay homage to her predecessors, but Jeful's purpose is not limited to this.

Or rather, this step is the final step of the "Swap the Prince" plan.

Jefel approached the statue of the special saintess and took out the holy book from her bosom.

Why is this statue considered special?

Because on the platform in front of this statue, there was once the very garment worn by the Goblin Maiden.

At this moment, this platform, like the others, is completely empty.

However, while the other robes were worn by others, this one was lost.

"We've finally arrived..."

Jefel took a deep breath, forcibly calming the turmoil in her heart.

Like Domitor and the others, she knew about the plan and had worked hard for it; now it was finally time to reap the rewards.

The illusion dissipated, and the holy book that Jefle held in her hands transformed into the robes of the Goblin Saintess, which were of the same lineage as the robes she was wearing.

If it is put back, the promise between the Goblin Saintess and Toh will be fulfilled.

The moment the fabric of the priest's robe made full contact with the stone platform, Tor, who was already far away from the Holy Kingdom and riding on the back of the dragon, suddenly felt much lighter, as if some kind of restraint had been removed.

He knew that Domi's plan had been a complete success, and a slight smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

However, after returning the robes, there was still one issue that Jefle needed to decide for herself, and Domi gave her the decision-making power.

Should we take the robe again, or leave it here?

Jefur thought for a moment, then covered it with the strongest illusion she could cast, making the robe invisible in sight, but still placed on the stone platform.

"If fate allows, someone will find you again in the future."

After saying that, she left the Saintess Temple, and the main storyline of Domi and the others in the Holy Ifamur Theocracy came to a complete end at this moment.

At the same time, Domi also received a welcome message from the system:

[Achieved C-Rank Milestone - Twelve Saintesses.]

Returning the papal robes was originally a very difficult task, but through a series of methods, without bloodshed or causing any public outcry, you returned them to their rightful place. The eleven saints and one saint will now be presented to the world in this era; it was you who made all of this possible.

[C-level Milestone Reward: 50 Villain Points/Year, settled at 00:00 on the last day of the year]

[First, he betrayed the Feathered Clan; later, he betrayed the Holy See. Achieved the hidden villain role-playing achievement—Conspiracy Theorist, villain value +10]

[The Vatican is two-faced, stabbing in the back, and has no idea that it has been used. This achieves the hidden villainous role achievement – ​​'Double Standard', villain value +10]

That night, Jefur stuffed her pillow into her blankets, and then, taking advantage of Scott's inattention, quietly slipped out of the residence assigned to her by the Papacy.

I saw Domi on the tallest clock tower in the town center.

The stars were shining brightly overhead, and the evening breeze was slightly chilly.

"Coming."

Domi noticed the commotion and turned to look at Jef.

She came out in her pajamas, not because she was unkempt, but because she felt that in front of her creator, it didn't matter whether she wore clothes or not.

"Sir, are you leaving soon?"

Unbeknownst to her, Jefel had changed a lot, from a reclusive girl to what she is now. Domi could hear the reluctance in her voice.

Ah, what a rare and precious emotion!

If it had happened at the beginning, and they had known that Domi and the others were leaving, they probably would have just come up and said goodbye.

Domi smiled with the satisfaction of an old father, walked closer, and reached out to rub her little head. Her long, sky-blue hair was soft and smooth, making her irresistible to touch.

"Yes, I'll be going back as soon as things are finished here. Are you going to miss me?"

Jef turned her head, glanced at him, and lowered her voice: "No, I didn't..."

Hmph, that's what being arrogant is like—saying one thing and meaning another.

"I don't know when we'll see each other again..."

"If you ever miss me, just contact me with your divine sense. I'll always be here for you."

"Then... under what circumstances would you come back?" Jef looked up at Domi, her eyes reflecting the stars.

"That's a good question, I can't think of one right now either." Domi scratched the back of his head, then slapped his forehead and said:

"Perhaps... I'll come back someday when the theocracy is about to be destroyed, after all, I've invested a lot of money here."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Jefur's eyes. With her current abilities, the road to destroying the theocracy was long and arduous...

But Domi wasn't finished speaking:

"Besides that, I will definitely come back whenever you need me."

At this moment, Jefle was like a child who had just received a Primal Demon Phone that was activating, able to jump for joy:

"real?!"

"I promise."

With a soft "Po~", Jefle jumped right into Domi's arms, rubbing her little head against Domi's clothes.

"I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing you again!"

-

I had a sleepless night.

The next morning, after getting up, Domi, Forty-Seven, and Afu enjoyed a formal court breakfast in the Pope's palace.

After bidding farewell to the Pope and the two archbishops, they left the palace, carrying a backpack full of luggage, and headed towards the city gate leading back home, enjoying one last look at the orderly streets of the Papacy along the way.

As they were walking through the bustling commercial street, Domi suddenly saw a familiar figure flash by. He immediately turned to Afu and said:

"Afu, I suddenly have something to take care of. Why don't you take Forty-Seven and sit at this restaurant up ahead for a while?"

"How long will it take?" Afu exclaimed.

"soon!"

Following my memory, I turned the street corner and walked through alleyways.

"I remember going this way..."
