In Teyvat, it all begins with rescuing the grass god.

Now that things have come to this point, there's no need to hide it anymore.

This can of knowledge with special functions was modified by Nasita through Rhodes, and then Rhodes delivered it to Elhesen.

As for how to ensure that Hazard will issue the decree to expel mercenaries through Elhesen's hands.

Hazard, who had long been addicted to the Void Terminal, could be accurately measured by Narcida without her needing to input his information into the Void.

In fact, Hazard once boasted that his Void Calculation accuracy reached 98%.

This is indeed true.

However, such calculations can only be applied to those who have been using the virtual terminal for many years and have lost their ability to think independently.

This is also a question that Rhodes and Narcida once discussed regarding the Void.

The void has existed in Mount Sumeru for a long time.

From ordinary people to learned scholars, everyone has developed an extreme dependence on emptiness.

For these people.

Everything that appears in the mind through the void is truth.

In this regard.

El-Heinz also holds the same opinion.

In his opinion.

Such people, who have completely lost their ability to think, should be called slaves to commands.

Hazard's unwavering belief in the Void's calculations about people stems from the fact that these people, who have become slaves to commands, are completely inseparable from the Void in their every action, and almost every step they take is based on the Void's calculations.

However, Elhesen gained Rhodes' trust by 'betraying' him.

Even if his information hadn't been entered into the void, the void still couldn't accurately predict his behavior.

Human emotions influence his behavior.

This is the consensus reached by Elhesen and Rhodes when discussing the Void.

In his opinion.

The idea that the Great Sage could accurately predict a person's actions from the void is utter nonsense.

Therefore, this is the actual situation.

It was Hazard's actions that could be accurately predicted by Narcida, while the actions of Elhesen and Rhodes were completely outside his prediction range.

This information gap.

That's the key to how this special canned knowledge was successfully delivered to him and allowed him to use it personally.

In fact.

The plan to forcibly break through the Siege House's defenses and release Narcida had been rejected long ago.

Rhodes hadn't planned to confront Hazard so soon.

As per the previous plan.

He planned to confront Hazar after exposing Hafsa's plagiarism. At that time, he could present the evidence of the imprisonment of the Grass God and then expose the imprisonment of the Grass God in front of the entire Council. This would expose the lie that the Council had carefully woven for hundreds of years and force Hazar to release Narcida more safely through public opinion.

But after unexpectedly obtaining the power of Hermanubis from the descendants of the blazing sun, he had enough power to overturn the table if his plan failed, and a new plan came to mind.

And now.

Looking at the furious Hazard, Rhodes casually recited the six fundamental sins explicitly stipulated by the Council of the Church.

"Hazar, do you still remember the six Root Sins of the Council?"

Let me help you remember.

"Firstly, the matter of human evolution."

Secondly, they make irresponsible remarks about life and death.

Thirdly, to explore things beyond the universe.

Fourth, thoroughly investigate the origins of language.

Fifth, they revere God but do not perform acts of offering.

"Sixth, do not speak of mysteries and have no fear in your heart."

It started when I heard the first of the six root sins.

Hazard's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

After reciting all six root sins, he slumped weakly onto his desk.

In the 'live broadcast' just now.

He personally admitted to the Church Council's imprisonment of the gods, and openly revealed his ambition to create a new god if given the opportunity, as well as his disdain for the life of the Little Lucky Grass King.

From the perspective of the standards for conviction of the six fundamental sins.

Imprisoning a deity and confessing one's mental preparation for killing a god violates the fifth principle of reverence for God without offering sacrifices.

The ambition to create a god is both a violation of the principles of human evolution and a violation of the principle of speaking out about mysteries without fear.

Such charges were fabricated.

That's enough for the entire Academy and even the whole of Sumeru to condemn him with their words and writings.

The great sage of the Order of the Church personally confessed that he had committed the most serious and fundamental sin of Mount Sumeru. Such a dramatic turn of events was enough to ensure that he would never be able to recover.

In despair.

Hazard could no longer maintain his previous confidence and lost his temper, yelling.

"No, that's impossible!"

"I have complete control over the void. That weak Little Lucky Grass King has no way of interfering with the void!"

"You must be using false information to deceive me! Trying to make me believe you!"

Already in despair, Hazard grew increasingly confident as he spoke, and soon began shouting: "Guards! Guards! Arrest this madman spouting nonsense!"

However, no matter how much he shouted, even until his voice was hoarse, there was still no response from outside the door, as if the once loyal guards had abandoned him.

The rescue they had hoped for had not yet arrived.

This plunged Hazard, who had just regained some confidence, back into despair.

Rhodes seized the opportunity to continue his attack, saying, "Hazard, the accusation of blasphemy has already spread. Do you think your words will still be of any use to these guards who treat the information of the void as truth?"

This statement can be described as a killer move.

The Rainforest District, especially the people of the Order of the Church, including the guards who originally worshipped the Crimson King but switched allegiance to the Order of the Church, like the people of the Rainforest District, have been using the Void Terminal since childhood. Whenever they need support and help, the Void Terminal can deliver everything they need. Over time, they have also come to believe in everything the Void publishes.

in other words.

Anyone who can receive information from the Void Terminal, whether academics, ordinary citizens, or even these guards, would not doubt the authenticity of what Hazard just said.

This can be described as disruptive information.

This is enough to make those who deeply believe in the void feel deceived by the great sage.

Rod added at the opportune moment.

"Hazard."

"If your guards came in now, do you think they would be there to arrest me or to arrest you?"

Azhar's office was entirely built from the remains of the Great Tree King, and it had a strong shielding effect on Nasita's consciousness.

Fortunately, once this guy's defenses are breached, it's easy to discern his thoughts.

Rhodes directly used his facial expressions to deliver devastating blows.

These successive blows finally made Hazard stop trying to gather people to capture Rhodes.

Because Rhodes is right.

Having committed such a blasphemous crime, arresting him would no longer be a grave offense against a great sage, but rather a great achievement.

"I, I did this for the sake of Sumeru."

"Little Lucky Grass King, she can't save the World Tree, nor can she save Mount Sumeru."

This reason is Hazard's last lifeline.

For a scholar.

Reputation and honor were the most important things to him.

Hazar, who has committed the heinous crime of blasphemy and has publicly admitted it, is now at risk of being disgraced in front of all those who possess Void Terminals. He can only seize this one and only opportunity to defend himself as much as possible in order to preserve his last glimmer of hope.

to this end.

He then blurted out everything, like spilling beans, about how the forbidden knowledge the Church had kept from the Sumeru people for hundreds of years had polluted the World Tree.

However, he downplayed the seriousness of the forbidden knowledge, describing it as a side effect of absorbing divine knowledge, and never mentioned the truth about the forbidden knowledge.

They described all of his and the Church's actions as a glorious undertaking to save Sumeru and the World Tree.

As for the act of imprisoning gods or even attempting to kill old gods and create new ones.

He also used the phrase "forced into a corner" in an attempt to cover up this blasphemous crime of defying God.

"The Little Lucky Grass King, which has absolutely no divine power, is completely incapable of resolving the World Tree's pollution problem!"

"Allowing such a useless god who can't solve any problems to occupy the divine position will only make the withering symptoms of the World Tree more serious and plunge the academic atmosphere of Sumeru into boundless chaos. Therefore, only by creating our own god can we have a chance to completely get Sumeru out of the crisis of the World Tree withering."

Hazard had just finished speaking.

Rhodes rebuked him mercilessly, saying, "Absurd! You know perfectly well that the problem with the World Tree lies in the contamination of the Great Tree King's residual consciousness, yet you still try to argue your point!"

"Didn't Little Lucky Grass King remind you?"

"Hmph, don't even mention it, it's not just you."

"The predecessors of the Order of the Netherworld before you have received countless warnings from the Little Lucky Grass King."

"The consciousness of the Great Tree King in the World Tree has been corrupted. Anyone who connects with it will go mad. Have you heard that?"

Hazard was speechless for a moment.
