They only vaguely guessed that this was the work of the underworld, but they didn't know what it meant.

Therefore, Defteros, acting as the Pope's representative, dispatched many Bronze and Silver Saints to conduct investigations.

Soon, the Sanctuary received a chilling message.

Under the reflection of the enormous painting in the sky, all living things on the ground lost their souls, as if they were asleep, dying silently, turning the land into a desolate wasteland.

Even more terrifying is that the desolate wasteland is expanding, changing in sync with the ever-expanding painted landscape in the sky.

Defteros gathered everyone again and solemnly said, "Based on our current intelligence analysis, that heavenly painting in the sky should be more than just a painting."

"I suspect that it was this that caused the dead land on earth."

"Then...can that painting be destroyed?" Taurus Hasgard asked tentatively.

"cannot!"

Defteros shook his head and said seriously, "Saints have already tried it."

"But the paintings in the sky are like some kind of phantom, completely untouchable and indestructible."

"It seems we must go to Hades City to completely destroy that heavenly painting!"

"However, Lord Sasha is still recovering from his injuries, so you're already preparing to attack Hades City?" Odysseus of Ophiuchus asked.

"No!"

Defteros shook his head and said seriously, "Without Lord Sasha, attacking Hades City on our own would be suicide!"

"But we cannot turn a blind eye to the actions of the underworld."

"Therefore, I plan to send out the Bronze and Silver Saints to guide the people in the nearby areas to evacuate in advance and reduce their casualties."

“That’s a good idea!” Pisces Yapafica nodded.

As the war intensified, even the Gold Saints with the Seventh Sense were becoming cannon fodder, while the Bronze and Silver Saints below them were almost useless.

Rather than sending them into battle to sacrifice themselves in vain, it's better to let them do what they can.

“However, the hidden dangers in Hades City must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise the whole world will become a dead zone!” Yapafica added.

"Odysseus, how long will it take for Lord Sasha's injuries to heal?" Hasgard asked, looking at Ophiuchus.

As the top physician in the entire Sanctuary, responsible for treating Lord Sasha's injuries, Ophiuchus must be the one who knows the actual situation best.

"Judging from the current recovery rate, it will take at least five more days!" Odysseus replied after a moment's thought.

It's fortunate that Sasha is a reincarnated god; if anyone else had been hit like that, they probably wouldn't have been able to heal, and might not even be alive today.

Five days?

"I hope the world can hold out until then!" Defteros sighed softly.

The heavenly painting in the sky was expanding, and no one knew whether the whole world could hold out for another five days.

Just then, a powerful and familiar aura emanated from the entrance to the Papal Palace.

Everyone turned to look, and saw a ragged young Saint enter the hall.

"It's been a long time, everyone!"

After a grueling day and night of travel, Leo Regulus finally returned.

"You're finally back! If you hadn't come back, we were all planning to come out and look for you!" Taurus Hasgard stepped forward with a smile and patted Leo on the shoulder.

Unfortunately, Leo had been injured and had not yet recovered. When Leo slapped him, Regulus immediately grimaced and gasped.

"hiss--"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Hasgard quickly apologized and then asked with concern, "How are your injuries?"

"It's not very good, it's just that it hasn't worsened further yet!" Regulus shook his head.

Let me see!

Odysseus stepped forward and began to examine the body.

"It's just some minor injury, don't worry too much!"

The results were quickly obtained, and Odysseus immediately began to handle the situation on the spot.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then, Defteros asked again, "I heard from Shion that you encountered a surviving witch from the Temple of Delphi outside."

"So, did you get any useful information?"

“Speaking of this matter, I have indeed obtained quite a bit of information! However, it is not good news for us!” Regulus shook his head helplessly.

"What have you found out?" Hasgart asked curiously.

Regulus said with a serious expression, "According to the surviving witch, they were attacked by an unknown god and suffered a devastating calamity."

"However, the unknown gods are deeply hidden, and even prophets and witches cannot see through their identities."

"Another god? What a nuisance!" Hasgard sighed deeply.

Since the start of the holy war, all sorts of gods have emerged, which is truly a headache.

“Besides that, the prophetic witch also gave us a piece of advice, or rather a warning!” Regulus continued.

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Defteros immediately gestured, and the other Saints also cast curious glances.

After all, that was the advice of a prophetic witch, something that ordinary people could not compare to.

It's very likely that the other party saw something and deliberately came to give them a heads-up.

“The prophetic witch told us to be careful of ‘Adonis the Spring Herald’!” Regulus said very seriously.

"Beware of 'Adonis the Spring Welcoming Envoy'?" Everyone was immediately taken aback.

It should be noted that the reason why the Sanctuary was able to forge the Demon-Suppressing Rosary that could counter the Specters was thanks to the forging blueprints sent by the Spring Welcoming Envoy.

Later, when the Great Lord Wuxin was in Hell, he also received indirect help from the Spring Welcoming Envoy.

All signs indicate that the Spring Welcoming Envoy is not a bad person, and even shows goodwill towards the Holy Land. However, the prophetic witch told them to be wary of the Spring Welcoming Envoy, which really puzzled everyone.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand why the prophetic witch said those things!"

Regulus sighed and continued, "Because when I was protecting the Prophet Witch in her battle against the assassin, I also received help from the Spring Welcoming Envoy, which allowed me to successfully repel the assassin!"

After saying that, he slowly recounted how he had been saved by the prophetic witch and how she had asked him to stop the assassin.

"That's really strange!"

Hasgard pinched his chin and frowned, saying, "It was only with the help of the Spring Welcoming Envoy that the prophetic witch was able to escape danger."

"But why does she still tell you to be wary of people who have helped you in the past?"

"No matter what! She was, after all, a prophetic witch!"

Defteros said seriously, "No one can ignore the warning from a prophetic witch."

"Although I also think that the possibility of us having a conflict with the Spring Festival Envoy is very low, let's still be on guard just in case!"

"it is good!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while before leaving.

As for Regulus, he went with Odysseus to the Ophiuchus Palace to treat his injuries.

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, the people of the Holy Land were surprised to find that the Underworld did not take the opportunity to launch an attack, and must have been determined to defend Hades City to the death.

This greatly reduced the defensive pressure on the Sanctuary.

It's important to understand that when they first returned to the Holy Land, everyone was injured, especially Wu Xin and the others, whose injuries were particularly severe and would not heal for a while. You can imagine the defensive pressure on the Holy Land.

Now, five days have passed, and everyone has fully recovered, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the fact that the situation in the Sanctuary has stabilized and improved does not mean that the situation outside the Sanctuary is the same.

Over the course of five days, the Heavenly Painting in the sky continued to expand, and its coverage on the ground grew larger and larger. Even though the Holy Land had sent Saints to evacuate and relocate the people, it was still difficult to take care of everything. Many people were unable to evacuate in time and had their souls taken away by that strange Heavenly Painting in the sky.

Today, the expansion of that heavenly painting has covered a large part of Europe, entered the Aegean Sea, and is not far from the sacred land.

Under the shadow of that heavenly painting, the ground was deathly silent, devoid of any living beings, and filled with a dense aura of death, as if it had transformed into hell.

Upon receiving this news from the front lines, the people of the Holy Land were immediately filled with heavy hearts.

"Odysseus, it's been five days already! Why hasn't Lord Sasha woken up yet?" Taurus Hasgard asked anxiously.

Heavenly paintings will soon blanket the sacred realm.

Humans have legs and can move, but the Holy Land is an inanimate object and cannot be moved.

If the relocation to the Holy Land is abandoned, it will undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the morale of the team.

Odysseus replied calmly, "According to my examination and prediction, Lord Sasha will indeed awaken today."

"Please be patient and wait a little longer, don't rush!"

As they were talking, a familiar and powerful aura entered the Papal Hall.

"I'm alright now!"

"Everyone, come on up!"

Recognizing that it was Sasha's voice, the group immediately rushed out of the Papal Palace and arrived at the summit platform in the blink of an eye.

He was holding a scepter, sitting upright, and exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Clearly, this reincarnation of a god has taken another big step closer to full awakening, moving closer and closer to the divine side and further and further away from the human side.

"Greetings, Lord Sasha!"

Everyone knelt down before the throne to pay their respects.

"Get up, all of you!"
