"Sister Mina is currently in the underground training room. Oh, by the way, speaking of which, a while ago, an old man whom my master and I had met before came here. He's the one who's been helping Sister Mina with her training lately. Thanks to him, Sister Mina has been staying at home and has someone to play with Little Silver!"

Grandpa? That must be Bishop Krend, right? I just didn't expect that the Dragon Mother would allow a Saint-level being to enter this space.

boom!

Suddenly, the earth trembled. Before anyone could react, a domain filled with divine power enveloped them. In the blink of an eye, the domain vanished before everyone's eyes.

"Hmm? Is there a King-level expert nearby? The direction of the domain just now seemed to come from... underground!" Chu Ci frowned slightly.

"It's Sister Mina! She really broke through to the King level!" Little Silver jumped off the sofa and exclaimed excitedly.

???

What is that? Mina? A King-level weapon?

Chu Ci looked on incredulously.

He had only been gone for a few months, and when he left, the other party was just a high-level professional. How did he become a king-level expert so quickly!

Following Xiao Yin and Ya Li's directions, Chu Ci arrived at the underground training room through a secret passage.

boom!

As soon as he opened the door, the light and shadow in front of him suddenly changed, and Chu Ci immediately noticed something unusual, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"This is... a separate space?"

Looking up, I saw two figures, one old and one young, sitting cross-legged in the middle.

Krend looked up at him, then slowly stood up and smiled.

"You brat, it really was you."

Chu Ci walked over and looked at the figure on the ground.

"Bishop Krend, what's this about Mina?"

The girl sat there quietly as if asleep, enveloped in a rich divine power. Her flowing golden hair danced in the air, just like when he first saw her. No matter how he looked at her, she was as perfect as an exquisite painting at this moment.

"Oh, it must be due to absorbing too much power. This child always wants to improve her strength faster. Considering her physique, I came up with this method."

Krend looked at Chu Ci and slowly spoke.

"You should remember, right, what about this child's constitution?"

Is that the one you're talking about?

Chu Ci nodded thoughtfully.

"I don't know much, except that you told me back then that the reason you brought her back to the Holy See was because of her constitution, and..."

Just as Chu Ci was about to continue, he suddenly stopped.

He was considering whether to tell Krend about the Elias royal family's attempt to exploit the papacy's saintly talent.

But what Krend said next made him freeze in place.

"Are you also trying to say that the reason they targeted Mina was because of her physical condition?"

!!!

"...You know about this?" Chu Ci frowned as she looked at him.

"Yes, I've known that for a long time."

Krend did not deny it and nodded slowly.

"I brought her back to the Vatican, so I am naturally aware of her background. Whether as a bishop of the Vatican or as the person who adopted her, I should pay attention to her upbringing."

"As an observer, the tricks of the Elias royal family are full of loopholes, and once you know the reasons behind it, you can easily deduce them. However, it is difficult for those involved to think outside the box."

"Whether it was the invitation to the Crimson Arena or the long-lost friend, everything went too smoothly, so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable."

"That's why I asked that old guy to help me investigate. Of course, you know how capable that old guy is. Before, I only thought he was good at gathering information, but now... hehe."

As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on Krend's face.

Imagine you've been fishing with your friend for over a decade, and one day you suddenly can't fish with him anymore due to life's pressures. Then he suddenly hands you a contract with a multi-million dollar annual salary and tells you he's the richest man in the area, and all you have to do from now on is keep fishing with him. Who could accept such a sudden change in status?

"Haha, I understand how you feel." Chu Ci laughed empathetically.

"Back to the main topic," Krend waved his hand at him.

"I actually have a guess about Mina's constitution, and I think I should tell you about it."

"Hmm? What guess?" Chu Ci unconsciously moved her body forward a little.

"Hmm... I think this child is probably not of the bloodline of the Kingdom of Ryan."

?

Chu Ci looked at him, puzzled.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Mina was also picked up by them? That's impossible, isn't it? What's your basis for this?"

Krend didn't speak, but a golden light suddenly appeared in his hand, and the scene before Chu Ci's eyes changed abruptly.

In the golden ocean-like space, a pair of majestic wings suddenly appeared in the sky above their heads. The wingspan of hundreds of meters made the two of them seem extremely small. Beneath the wings, a golden ball of light was slowly flowing, and Chu Ci could even hear what sounded like a faint heartbeat coming from it.

The next second, the scene shifted, as if time had been accelerated. The ball of light swirled faster and its size expanded, until at a certain moment, the wings in the sky suddenly descended with dazzling light.

The ball of light then vanished, replaced by a tangible figure with wings on her back, radiating a dazzling light.

Holy praises immediately arose around her, and countless orbs of faith floated in the air. She was bathed in holy light, as if...

"The gods have descended upon us."

Krend appeared beside Chu Ci, his eyes filled with endless emotion as he watched this scene.

He was once a vanguard who would give his life for the gods, and would draw his sword for those who defied him. Now, the Hidden World Society he has joined aims to defy the gods above and redefine the rules of this world.

Centuries of perseverance and effort have turned to ashes, and now he has embarked on a path that is the opposite of what he once was. How can one not feel a sense of melancholy?

"【Holy Divinity】, this is the original name of Mina's constitution, and it is also the result I found from many records within the Hidden World Society."

Krend continued, pointing at the figure.

"As you can see, its very existence is part of the power of the gods. In the distant past, the Church called it a person favored by the gods. Such a person has an extremely strong affinity for divine power. If resources are sufficient, there will be no bottlenecks in the process of advancement. This is what I mean by the method of quickly improving strength."

"As for why I say she is not of royal blood from the Ryan royal family, well, the answer is simple: because the Ryan Kingdom did not spread the faith of the Holy See. They did not believe in God, and the eyes of God would not be on them. Although this sounds like the kind of rhetoric used by devout believers to deceive people, I have to say that it is actually quite reasonable."
