If Benovia hadn't confirmed that this was a divine intervention and knew that it shouldn't be her own idea, she wouldn't have known that it was a divine revelation.

So she stopped summoning the puppet and reached out directly to Count Deville's puppet.

The puppet's chest cavity, radiating a deep blue light, was opened, revealing the puppet's heart hidden inside.

Benovia reached out and touched the deep blue puppet heart.

She was a little nervous because this puppet heart could tear a person's soul apart.

But as she got closer, she felt the power of the Puppet Heart adhere to her hand, forming a thin insulating layer that prevented her from direct contact with the Puppet Heart.

With great success, Benovia took the Heart of the Puppet in her hand under Count Deville's astonished gaze.

"This……"

Count de Verde was dumbfounded.

Now, even if you don't believe it's a gift from the gods, you have no choice but to believe it.

With the removal of the Puppet Heart, Count Deville's power plummeted rapidly, from fifth rank to fourth rank to third rank...

In less than ten seconds, his aura rapidly dropped below the fourth level, continuing to decline until he reached the first level, and it was still falling.

In about half a minute, all his power dissipated, turning him into a Muggle even more useless than a curly-haired baboon.

The loss of his strength was unbearable for him. He couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

The butler, who was watching from a distance, wanted to come up but didn't dare.

Blake looked at them and said calmly, "Alright, take Count Deville away. I hope he will remember the price for stealing the divine treasure forever."

Stripped of his power, he became an ordinary person; it was impossible for him not to remember. The butler thought to himself.

Having received permission, he quickly led his men away from Earl Deville, and finally bowed to Benovia, Black, and Avino: "I apologize, my master has caused trouble for Her Highness Benovia. We will send you an apology later. And to the two gentlemen, please forgive us, the Deville family will also send you an apology. Please forgive our patriarch."

Black and Ivano simply nodded without saying anything. After all, Count Deville hadn't made a move in the end, and had even rushed over to kneel down before Benovia, so they had no reason to make things difficult for him.

As for violations of flight bans, they are negligible and have nothing to do with them; they don't have the time to deal with that.

Benovia had no objections. Inspired by the gods, she performed miracles before both the Holy Court and the royal family, conveying a message—

She received a gift from the gods.

Whether it's true or false, as a saintess, it's perfectly acceptable for her to say such things; it will even bring her prestige and recognition.

Benovia, holding the Puppet Heart, bowed slightly to Black and Ivano. "Principal Black, Uncle Ivano, thank you for arriving in time. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to handle this situation so well."

Blake stroked his beard. "Don't be modest. Even without us, with your skills, you could easily toy with that little thing."

In the presence of Principal Black, the middle-aged Earl of Deville was indeed a 'little thing'.

Benovia smiled slightly and said nothing.

Ivino glanced at the Puppet Heart in Benovia's hand and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Your Highness Benovia, the Emperor has been missing you lately. When will you be home?"

Benovia nodded: "Uncle Avino, I will go back."

"Ah."

Ivano nodded and left.

Blake looked at the Puppet Heart in Benovia's hand and said, "The power contained within your Puppet Heart is quite strong. It actually allows a fourth-tier mage to have strength comparable to a sixth-tier mage. May I take a look?"

Benovia laughed and said, "Principal Black can certainly see it if he wants to, but he cannot touch the Heart of the Puppet directly, otherwise the power inside will impact his soul and cause him to fall into a coma."

Blake waved his hand dismissively, "That's for low-level mages. Do you think I, a dignified sixth-level mage, am afraid of that? Just give it to me."

"This one……"

"Don't worry, I'm just looking. I don't want your things. Even if I faint, it's my problem."

"Alright then." Benovia had no choice but to hand over the Puppet Heart.

Blake took it, rolled his eyes, and promptly fainted.

Benovia caught the Puppet Heart just in time, looked at the unconscious Blake, and remained silent.

Chapter 283 The Principal's Gift

"What? The principal has been knocked unconscious?"

When Celia, who was heading to the quiet meditation room, heard the news from Benovia, she was shocked.

The girl asked, puzzled, "Why would the principal touch that puppet heart when he has nothing better to do?"

That puppet heart is twice as strong as the one I touched before; it's a fusion of two puppet hearts. How could a human possibly touch it?!

What? I can touch it?

That's fine.

Others may not need saving, but the principal still needs to be saved.

So Celia rushed to Benovia's house.

At this moment, Principal Blake had been carried into the living room by Benovia's servants, and a long bench was pulled out for him to lie on.

After Celia arrived, she checked on Principal Black's condition.

"It's alright, after all, he's the principal, so his situation isn't as serious as others."

Celia breathed a sigh of relief.

She was a little afraid that the old principal, being frail and unable to withstand the shock to his soul, might die on the spot.

Fortunately, the soul strength of a sixth-tier mage is still stronger than that of an average person.

But not as strong as me, Celia thought.

She looked at Benovia and asked, "Where is the Puppet Heart? The healing requires the Puppet Heart."

"I'll go get it for you."

Benovia left, and returned a moment later with the Heart of the Puppet.

When she saw Benovia take it with her bare hands, Celia was slightly surprised, but quickly understood.

After she came over, she reached out her hand, and Benovia quickly said, "No... Oh? You're alright too?"

Benovia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Celia had simply grabbed it in her hand as if nothing had happened.

A strange light flickered in her eyes.

This puppet heart is indeed related to Celia; it might even be hers.

But if it's her, why would the gods give it to me?

Benovia was puzzled.

Unfortunately, she couldn't answer that.

She didn't ask Celia because she knew Celia definitely wouldn't tell.

Meanwhile, unaware of Benovia's thoughts, after receiving the Puppet Heart, Celia began to treat Principal Black according to the method Ross had taught her.

The Puppet Heart spun at her fingertips, as if it were a part of her.

Blake, as expected of a sixth-tier mage, possessed a very strong soul. Under Celia's healing, he slowly woke up.

He blushed when he saw Benovia and Celia.

"Ahem, that..."

"Principal, please don't move yet, the treatment is still a little bit short."

Black, who always listened to advice, did not take any action until Celia finished the treatment and returned the Puppet Heart to Benovia.

Although it originally belonged to her, Ross gave it to Benovia, and Celia wouldn't take it back.

It's just a little bit...

After the treatment, Blake stood up, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

He forced a straight face and said seriously, "Ahem, don't tell anyone about what happened today, understand?"

Both Celia and Benovia nodded, trying not to laugh.

"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Principal, we promise we won't tell anyone about you fainting."

Blake paused for a moment, then took out two six-pointed star badges.

"Alright, here's the badge. It contains my fist intent, which is around the fourth level in power. But it can only be used once. It will also be automatically triggered when you are attacked with a fatal blow, forming a lightning-type fist intent to defend against and counterattack the attacker. By the way, it is strictly forbidden to use it in the Mage League. Any item that reaches the fourth level will be judged as a loss if used on the field."

"Okay, thank you, Principal."

Celia and Benovia nodded and accepted Blake's Fist Intent Badge.

"I'm sorry to have kept you in the way. Well, let me take you to school."

"Thank you, principal!"

……

Principal Blake was quick in sending people off; they arrived at the foot of the Gentle Tower in less than two minutes.

After saying goodbye to Blake, the two entered the Gentle Tower together and went to the top floor.

At this moment, the others had already entered meditation. Sensing the arrival of Celia and Benovia, they all opened their eyes and looked at the two of them.

Seeing the two of them appear at the same time, Doris frowned and questioned, "Where have you been? Why are you late?"

“We did something secret,” Benovia said with a smile.

"What secret?" Doris glared at the two of them angrily. "I'm the captain, you should tell me!"

Celia rolled her eyes, ignored her, and went to her seat to begin meditating.

Benovia smiled slightly, "Our captain will know after he receives divine revelation."

After saying that, she went to her seat and began to meditate.

Doris glared at the two of them, very angry.

Only Phil looked at the two of them thoughtfully.

"Gods...?"

……

An endless abyss, a sealed land.

Ethel lifted the boulder again and looked at Ross indifferently: "Are you satisfied now? Boring evil god."

He simply couldn't understand why Ross would be so enthusiastic about doing such trivial things.

Ross chuckled: "Satisfied, very satisfied, I give you ten thumbs up."

Ethel snorted: "Weak mortal, as weak as an ant. Are you testing my ability to remotely control divine power?"

Ross shook his head. "NO NO NO, I don't have time to test you. Just as you said, these mortals are as weak as ants. Don't you think controlling ants is a very meaningful thing?"

"……boring."

"So you old gods, relying on the power of 'ants' while looking down on 'ants,' deserve to be eliminated."

Ethel didn't say anything.

"Besides, during the Age of Calamity, weren't you beaten to this state by a swarm of 'ants'?"

"A sorcerer who transcends human limits is no ordinary person."

"Didn't they still rise from mortals? They had great divine power, but they were defeated by a group of humans and all the gods fell into a deep sleep. How pitiful."

"enough!"

A huge rock was thrown at Ross.

A one-sided battle of wits has begun once again.

……

After the meditation class ended, Celia said goodbye to the others and went to her classroom. Before class started, a few people walked in from outside, came to Mil's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. Mil's face immediately turned pale.

He couldn't help but stand up. "Are you telling the truth?"
