"Alright, from now on we're friends and can contact each other anytime. Of course, we're too far apart, so physical projection or voice communication would consume too much mana. I suggest using teleportation instead."

Minos explained patiently.

"Thank you... but are you this friendly with everyone?"

Dekan couldn't help but ask.

He seemed to find this Shadow Bishop Minos quite interesting and didn't mind talking to him a bit more.

Anyway, it seems like this bishop is the only one I can communicate with normally.

It was only now that Dekan realized just how free the Church of Resurrection was.

They can either kill each other to rise to power, or they can go crazy and manipulate the mentality of their own people.

"Of course not, I'm only this friendly to my friends."

Minos replied.

Don't you think we should be enemies?

Dekan asked again.

Minos: "Can't an enemy be a friend?"

"..."

Minos's answer stunned Dekan.

Dekan: "Are you serious?"

Minos: "Hmm."

"Let's be friends until we actually meet, but if we do meet one day, I won't hold back."

"Me too."

While the two were talking, the other bishops were at a loss for words when it came to scolding Dekan.

They even started cursing Minos.

"Let's suspend the bishops' council for now until His Holiness the Pope returns."

"agree."

“I object. You’re forming cliques and excluding me.”

Dekan suddenly interjected.

"You're against your own opinion!"

"I'm asking you this: with this certificate in my hand, am I considered a bishop?"

Dekan raised the episcopal badge in his hand.

"You're nothing more than a mole! A traitor!"

Dekan: "That's not right. That's your subjective opinion. You haven't truly achieved a unity of subject and object. Where did my process of becoming a bishop violate any rules?"

"You don't actually want to join us? With your third rank?"

Dekan: "I don't want to. I act with integrity and my heart is as clear as a mirror. How could I possibly collude with you?"

"So what are you trying to say?"

Dekan: "I just want to advise you to turn yourselves in. You still have a chance now. Otherwise, once I catch you one by one, you'll be in for a world of hurt."

"asshole!"

"..."

The meeting's organizer, the illusory bishop, was so angry that he logged off immediately.

Subsequently, the other bishops also gradually left the temple.

The synod of the Resurrected Church was thus forced to a halt.

"Sigh, I haven't even figured out what the tenth-tier shadow world is all about yet..."

Dekan sighed as he looked at the empty temple.

"You can ask me."

Suddenly a sound came from beside my ear.

Decan discovered that Minos was still standing there, not having left.

"Is this information that can be shared?"

Dekan was somewhat surprised.

Information obtained without interrogation always has an unreal, unearned quality, like something that was gained without effort.

"It's nothing. As long as it's not core information about the church, I can tell you anything for personal reasons. However, there are some things you shouldn't ask about, just as I don't expect to get any key information about the Kingdom Federation from you."

Minos shrugged.

It gives the impression of a clear separation between public and private matters.

144 Dekan unintentionally hurt Minos

Minos's level of freedom has exceeded Decan's expectations.

If all the churches of the Resurrection were like you, I wouldn't even need to do anything; you would all disband on your own.

Dekan thought to himself.

"There's nothing to hide. Most of the high-ranking members of the Kingdom Federation know that calamity is approaching this world."

Minos explained nonchalantly.

"So, it's a tenth-tier shadow world?"

"Yes, when it opens, if we cannot pass through it smoothly, this world will face an unprecedented disaster, and only a few strong people will survive."

Clearly, the Kingdom Alliance's goal is to successfully complete this Shadow World, while the Church of Resurrection wants to sabotage it.

"How long until it opens? Is it possible it will open in a hundred years?"

"I don't know either. Only that astrologer from the Kingdom Federation could possibly glean some information."

Minos paused here, suddenly realizing that Dekan didn't seem to mean preparing for the battle in the Shadow World.

"Hey, you weren't just thinking that if the activation time was after your lifespan was over, you could just stay out of it and not care, were you?"

As Minos spoke, his tone became increasingly disdainful.

"Ahem, putting aside my thoughts, you don't seem to have the right to say that. By the way, do you know the name of this Shadow World?"

"How could anyone possibly know? You think too highly of me."

Minos exclaimed.

Dekan nodded, pondered for a moment, but did not discuss the issue of the tenth-order shadow world with Minos.

"By the way, can I ask you some gossip questions?"

Dekan suddenly asked.

"of course can."

"I heard that one of the bishops in your Church of Resurrection likes to cross-dress. Do you know which one it is?"

This was the piece of information about the Church of Resurrection that Dekan had uncovered during his last interrogation that he was most concerned about.

Generally speaking, the more outrageous a rumor sounds, the more likely it is to be true.

Because ordinary believers dare not fabricate or spread rumors.

Dekan planned to ask the question and then publish an article the next day, revealing the bishop's interests and hobbies.

however.

What made Dekan feel extremely embarrassed was—

He noticed that Minos had stopped talking.

"..."

For a moment, the empty temple fell silent.

The atmosphere became extremely tense.

Both of them knew what was going on, but neither knew how to break the deadly atmosphere.

A feeling that silence speaks louder than words.

"Haha, I didn't mean to offend you, I really didn't know."
