Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

"Um...it seems like someone wants me to stay."

Ok?

The two were about to turn around.

boom!

"what!"

The powerful impact sent the two flying through the air, where they let out huge screams before crashing to the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk! Ouch ouch ouch! Hmm? Missionary, what are you doing?!"

From their perspective, the adult was bowing before Chu Ci.

"Your Holiness, I never expected it to be you! It's all my fault for not disciplining them properly; please punish me!"

Chu Ci looked at him in confusion... Uh, I really don't remember him.

Wait a minute, wasn't I wearing a queen bee mask? How could this guy recognize me?

"How did you recognize me?" Chu Ci asked.

The missionary bowed slightly and smiled wryly.

"Holy Son, for powerhouses above the fifth rank, life aura is the most important indicator for identifying a person."

"Although your appearance was covered at the time, your vitality could not be faked."

...Well, schools don't teach this, after all, most people will never even break through to the third level in their lifetime, and some knowledge is generally not useful to ordinary people.

"The Holy Son?! This guy is actually the Holy Son!"

boom!

The member who was speaking suddenly felt a heavy blow to the head.

"Hey! Why did you hit me?"

"What?! You want to call him Holy Son?! I think you're tired of living. If the missionary finds out, you'll be in serious trouble, at least half your life will be taken away."

!!!

These words startled the follower, who immediately covered his mouth with his hand.

The two stepped forward again and quickly bowed in apology.

"We apologize, Your Holiness, please forgive our previous rudeness!"

Chu Ci smiled and waved his hand.

"You're just on official business, which is a good thing. I should have produced the mark sooner. So, do you need me to produce the mark so you can check it again?"

The two exchanged a wry smile and a furtive glance.

"You jest. With the missionary here, how dare we question your identity?"

Seeing this, the missionary nodded in satisfaction.

"You two are quite perceptive. It's getting late, so hurry back with me to finish your prayers. Your Holiness, please come along too. Her Highness the Holy Maiden will be there during the prayers as well. Of course, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to wait over there for a moment."

"Pray?" Chu Ci waved his hand.

"It's alright, you guys go ahead with your business. I'll talk to Mina about serious matters after we're done."

"Okay, please come with me."

……

Stepping into the spacious church, each of the surrounding stone pillars is so large that it would take several people to encircle them. Soft light shines into the white-gold church, filling it with a sense of holiness.

At this moment, a large number of believers dressed in white have gathered here to pray.

However, Chu Ci did not sense much power fluctuation from them; they seemed to be ordinary people.

"This is the prayer room for regular teachers. Please continue walking inside."

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding space grew larger and larger.

The white religious robes have largely disappeared, and the vast majority of those remaining are worshippers dressed in gold, kneeling silently on the ground in prayer.

Most of them noticed Chu Ci and his group's arrival, but they simply smiled and did not try to stop them.

"That's... Mina?"

Hundreds of meters away, Chu Ci saw the figure he was looking for beneath a majestic statue.

However, at this moment she was wearing elegant prayer robes and leading everyone in prayer in front of a group of teachers.

The three holy knights stood guard beside her as usual, and when they saw Chu Ci, they all smiled back, presumably recognizing him.

"Your Holiness, you can stop here. We can walk the rest of the way ourselves."

The missionary and the other two believers bowed and left. Chu Ci nodded and watched them disappear into the crowd. He then found a secluded corner where no one was around and waited for it all to end.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

At that moment, the grand bells rang out, and the halo of light illuminated the entire church as if it were a golden sea.

Mina slowly opened her golden eyes, and beams of light swirled and converged within them.

At this moment, she suddenly became majestic and holy, as if a god had personally descended!

"I offer you my highest respect to build the most magnificent divine kingdom in the heavens! May the world be freed from the suffering of the mortal realm, and I will wait for you on the other side of the stars, even for millions of years."

Mina repeated the prayer over and over again, and everyone couldn't help but recite it along with her.

Slowly, a golden, illusory sphere of light appeared out of nowhere.

Then came the second one, and the third one!

Only then did Chu Ci realize that they were actually floating out from everyone's bodies.

"What is this?"

Chu Ci swore that he had never seen such a thing before.

They gradually floated into the air, eventually converging on a common goal—the tall, majestic stone statue whose face was obscured.

"Wait? Is there something else behind that statue?"

Guided by the illusory sphere of light, Chu Ci finally saw that there were two slightly smaller stone statues behind the original stone statue.

They knelt on either side behind the largest stone statue.

The statue on the left is holding something that looks like a staff, and it is wearing what appears to be a papal hat worn only by bishops of the Papacy.

The statue on the right is even more recognizable because it has wings and holds a sharp blade, resembling a valiant warrior protecting its master.

Most of these golden orbs merged into the stone statue holding the staff, with only a very small portion flowing into the other two statues.

"What do these three stone statues represent? Why would the Holy See kneel before them?"

With these questions in mind, Chu Ci continued to wait quietly.

About half an hour later, all the orbs of light had merged, and everyone slowly opened their eyes before leaving in an orderly fashion.

At this moment, three holy knights came to Chu Ci's side.

"Your Highness, it's unexpected to see you again so soon. Her Highness the Holy Maiden requests your presence; she seems to wish to discuss some matters with you. We shall take our leave now."

After the three finished speaking, they left with the group of instructors.

A few minutes later, only Chu Ci and Mina, who seemed to be standing there in a daze, remained.

"Um... it's been a long time?"

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Chu Ci wanted to break the awkward silence first, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other party's face, which was originally facing the stone statue, suddenly turn around, with three parts speechlessness and seven parts anger in his eyes.

"Um, what's wrong?"

The girl's face flushed slightly in the sunlight, and she spoke softly, biting her lip.

"Help...help me, my legs are numb from kneeling and I feel like I can't stand up."

"ha???"

Ten minutes later, Chu Ci looked at Mina, who was jumping around in front of him, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Is this girl really a saint from the Holy See? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was some wild girl who ran away from somewhere.
