Full-Time Magister: Cosmic Bully? Exposed by the Sky Curtain

Chapter 87 False Prosperity, the True Strength of the Parthenon

Obviously.

The Parthenon only ranked eighth.

This exceeded the expectations of the vast majority of people.

Countless people stared at the sky, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

soon.

above the sky.

The golden light continued to shimmer, and long passages of text slowly emerged.

[Reason for inclusion: As the highest temple of white magic in the world, the Parthenon is not only the birthplace of healing and blessing magic, but also has profound expertise in other areas of white magic such as mind magic and plant magic.]

The Parthenon's organizational structure is mainly divided into four major sections: the Temple of the Goddesses, the Temple of the Knights, the Temple of Faith, and the Temple of Judgment.

The Temple of the Goddess: The highest authority. Its internal hierarchy is: Apprentice Maid → Maid → Sage → Great Sage → Temple Mother →

Saintess → Goddess. The Goddess is the highest authority, commanding the four great halls. The Hall Mother is the supreme decision-maker when the position of Goddess is vacant, second only to the Goddess in status. The Great Sage assists the Goddess and the Hall Mother, holding a position equal to the Hall Master.

[Knights' Hall: The exclusive armed force of the Goddess Temple, responsible for guarding the area. Knight ranks are divided from lowest to highest as follows: Blue Star Knights, Silver Moon Knights, and Golden Radiance Knights. Blue Star Knights are all high-level level three or higher mages; Silver Moon Knights are all high-level peak to super-level level one mages; and Golden Radiance Knights are all super-level level two to super-level peak mages.]

[The Temple of Faith: Open to all believers. Believers earn "faith contributions" by donating goods and other means to seek the blessings of the Temple of the Goddess.]

[The Hall of Judgment: Responsible for establishing rules and enforcing punishments. Its armed force consists of the Holy Judgment Mages, under the jurisdiction of the Judgment Bishop.]

People nodded in agreement after seeing these introductions.

This is what Tianmu has said so far.

It is entirely within the scope of human understanding.

There is no problem.

Putting aside other things.

The Knights' Hall alone has so many powerful battle mages.

Moreover, they were extremely loyal to the temple.

Isn't that pretty impressive?

Why is it still only ranked eighth?

The doubts in people's hearts have not been dispelled.

The sky then provided a more detailed explanation.

The shortcomings and deficiencies of the Parthenon.

[I. The position of Goddess has been vacant for a long time. The resurrection magic is the core competitiveness of the Parthenon Temple and the foundation of its enduring strength for thousands of years. However, since the death of the previous Goddess, the temple has failed to produce a new one. Although Ye Xinxia was rewarded with the complete resurrection magic by the Heavenly Curtain, she is not a member of the Parthenon, and her power cannot be used by the Parthenon. Therefore, the Parthenon Temple currently does not actually possess the ability to use the resurrection magic.]

[II. No one can fully control any of the Sacred Souls. The Parthenon possesses numerous Sacred Souls, including the Sacred Soul of Hades, the Dark Lord of the Underworld, and the Sacred Soul of the God of War. If one could fully control any of them, it would be enough to cultivate a top-tier forbidden spellcaster, which is the fundamental reason why the Parthenon has been able to rival the Holy City for millennia. However, in the present day, no one in the Parthenon has been able to fully control any of these Sacred Souls.]

Although Lord Hyron of the Knights' Temple can borrow a portion of Hades' Holy Soul's power, he still has a long way to go before fully mastering it. Therefore, the Parthenon currently lacks high-level forbidden spell-wielding combat power, and compared to other top-tier forces, its top-tier forbidden spell combat power is clearly insufficient.

no doubt.

The explanation given by Tianmu is extremely fair.

The Parthenon remains powerful in terms of influence, number of followers, and affiliated forces.

However, in terms of core high-end combat capabilities and special abilities, it is no longer as powerful as it once was.

The goddess is vacant, the resurrection magic is missing, no one has mastered the holy soul, and high-end combat power is scarce.

Four major weaknesses combined!

This resulted in its overall strength ranking only eighth on the power list.

When people saw these words on the sky...

All the doubts ceased at that moment.

People overwhelmingly praised the Sky Screen.

"So that's how it is. Parthenon is just an empty shell now."

"It looks glamorous on the outside, but it's empty inside."

"Yes, although they have many high-level and super-level knights, when it comes to forbidden spell-level combat power, they are not much better than the first two forces."

"Eighth place might even be an overstatement —"

Holy City, Square.

As Michael looked at the explanations of Parthenon displayed on the sky, the curve of his lips widened, and the disdain in his eyes deepened.

He couldn't help but sneer twice: "Without resurrection magic, no one can use the Holy Soul—"

"This generation of Parthenon is utterly hopeless!"

The only reason the Holy City still barely takes Parthenon seriously is because of their holy souls.

After all, each sacred soul can cultivate a powerful forbidden spell.

In addition, their resurrection magic is enough to make countless forces flock to them and willingly serve them.

He shook his head slightly and continued, "To be honest, the Parthenon of the past was indeed qualified to challenge the Holy City."

"But now? There's no resurrection magic, no Holy Soul Master, just a bunch of clueless, useless knights."

"The so-called Parthenon is nothing but garbage!"

The Parthenon, main hall.

Hailong's face was extremely grim.

The explanation of the sky was like a knife, each word stabbing deeply into his heart.

The position of goddess is vacant, and the divine resurrection spell is missing.

That's a fact, and he can't refute it.

after all.

This matter was known to many people outside the community.

There's not much to hide.

but----

No one can completely control the Holy Soul.

Tianmu even revealed that he couldn't fully control Hades' Holy Soul.

This was something Hailong never expected.

Isn't this indirectly telling the world that Parthenon lacks high-level forbidden spell combat power?

"The Sky Curtain—"

"Do you have to be so ruthless?"

Hailong spoke in a cold voice, staring intently at the sky.

now.

The sages in the hall looked at each other in disbelief, their faces filled with shock and panic.

Most of them were not fully aware of Parthenon's true fighting strength.

They originally believed that the Temple Knights, possessing holy souls, were still powerful and qualified to contend with the Holy City.

However, today...

However, the sky laid bare the truth before them without any mercy.

A young sage whispered to his companion, "The position of Goddess has been vacant for so many years, and no one can use the Holy Soul—what have we been doing all these years?"

The companion's voice was even softer: "Heh, haven't I been fighting for power and profit all these years?"

"Is it just maintaining a facade of prosperity?"

"So that the outside world would think that Parthenon is still the same Parthenon."

Another old sage sighed, his voice hoarse: "Alas! In my opinion, if the temple continues down this downward path..."

"Won't we end up becoming someone else's appendage in the future?"

The words fell.

In an instant.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

The Parthenon, steeped in a thousand years of history, is a place of faith for countless believers.

If one day we need to depend on other forces to survive —

What a tragedy that would be!

Hailong gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

His voice was deep and firm: "No!"

"Parthenon will never become anyone's vassal!"

"Give me time, I will find the goddess, then fully control the Holy Soul of Hades, and I will make Parthenon powerful again!"
