Their commission was suspicious.

"So being the river god is actually quite dangerous, isn't it? Although the whole world is begging for your help, the whole world also wants to know your true identity, doesn't it?" Yvette said.

"...Having a thirst for knowledge is a good thing, but their thirst for knowledge is not a good thing, especially when they are looking for me," Chen Luo said with some distress.

Chen Luo could understand why the church and relevant departments in China wanted to find the River God, but when he was the one being sought out, all Chen Luo wanted to say to them was: Curiosity killed the cat.

"But would you like to hear another piece of good news?"

"What good news?"

“After lengthy discussions, I, the presiding judge of the Inquisition, have reason to suspect that the Angel of Death, after accepting the mission to find the River God, was shirking his duties and attempting to use the mission as a pretext to enjoy paid leave. In other words, the Angel of Death never intended to find the River God in the first place,” Yvette said.

Yvette had just learned about the special relationship between Chen Luo and the Angel of Death, Bai Zhi, through the group network.

This news can be considered good news.

"Huh? Paid leave?"

"That's right. Although it may sound a bit bizarre, Hela, the Angel of Death, also known as Bai Zhi, does seem to be slacking off."

“As the presiding judge of the Inquisition, I have the right and the obligation to investigate what every member of the Inquisition is doing. And based on the progress of Hela the Angel of Death's mission and the mission log, the Pope and I have basically confirmed the Angel of Death's heinous acts.” Evie nodded, confirming the answer.

"As an important figure in the church, even if the church doubts me, it still needs to gradually let me regain the power I lost before. What belongs to me, now that I'm back, is all mine. After all, under the influence of fanaticism, I'm not an honest person who can be bullied. The church knows me so well, they shouldn't be foolish enough to openly reject me."

"So, without the influence of fanaticism, what would you do if the church didn't relinquish power to you?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

“Even without the influence of fanaticism, I wouldn’t call myself a gentle, considerate, or understanding S-class talent. If they really dared to imprison and monitor me like a criminal, I really would do something like uprooting the Vatican,” Yvette said, clenching her fists.

“This does sound like something a war angel would do,” Yun Lian’er nodded in agreement from the side.

"Through the way the War Angel has acted as a representative of the Church in the international arena over the past few years, it is not hard to see that the War Angel is indeed a proud person. This is quite in line with the War Angel's persona, after all, the War Angel has done some outrageous things before."

"Did Yvette really do something like upending the Vatican?" Chen Luo asked with considerable curiosity and gossip.

“No…” Yun Lian’er shook her head in denial, but before she could finish her sentence, Yvette interrupted her.

“Almost,” Yvette said coldly.

"Huh? You really wanted to do something like that?" Even Yun Lian'er was surprised this time.

Given Yvette's previous attitude when she was in a frenzy, she was capable of doing anything in international diplomacy, but the idea of ​​her overthrowing the Vatican should probably just be a metaphor.

"Why would I lie to you? I did something similar two years ago, but I was stopped halfway through. If they had stopped me for a few more minutes, the Vatican would be almost completely rebuilt by now."

"You're really something, don't you think the church is going to do anything about you? And you were capable of doing something like this two years ago, how come the church still dares to use you now?" Chen Luo was somewhat surprised.

"What's so surprising? Others overturning the Vatican and angelic geniuses overturning the Vatican are two different things, and of two different natures. When S-class geniuses from other countries overturn the Vatican, it's a declaration of war against the Church, and the Church will not back down an inch, otherwise its hundreds of millions of believers would not stand for it. But if angelic geniuses overturn the Vatican, it's called the angel's judgment, a way for angels to express their dissatisfaction with the current state of the Church."

“Angels are never entirely benevolent beings. In mythology, even God sent down a great flood to judge us, didn’t He? So it’s quite reasonable for me to impose some punishments on the Vatican in the name of war, isn’t it?”

"I think I understand," Chen Luo nodded.

The situation was roughly the same as during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, or the Three Kingdoms Period. Various forces and states within China were fighting amongst themselves; it was a matter that happened behind closed doors.

If a force on the Chinese mainland wants to dominate the entire land, it will at most be called a barbarian.

But if any foreign tribes try to invade, we'll blow their heads off.

"It's amazing that the church still dares to let you be their face after you've done something like this," Chen Luo said, somewhat surprised.

"No, it's precisely because I did such things that I became the face of the church. Because the church felt that with its size and influence, it didn't need to swallow its pride; its international influence required a strong stance. And since I am the angel of war, my inability to control myself is simply due to my angelic nature, not the church's fault."

“If the Church weren’t so powerful, then their face would be the Holy Guardian Angel, not me. The Church’s international policies are quite flexible,” Yvette said.

The church has a flexible bottom line.

Or rather, most countries have a flexible bottom line: they are tougher when they are strong and more conciliatory when they are weak.

In fact, during the time Yvette served as the face of the church, although the believers had some complaints about their denomination's representative occasionally going crazy, they were generally satisfied.

After all, who wouldn't want their country to be better protected on the international stage? Who wouldn't want their country to have a higher international standing?

"Guardian Angel? I've never heard of that name before."

"What could you possibly know? You're never even in the main world. You only know all 20 S-class talents in Shenzhou thanks to the last meeting." Liu Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

He didn't even recognize all the S-rank talents in his own faction, let alone S-rank talents from other factions. Liu Wenxuan even suspected that Chen Luo didn't know any talents from other factions other than those from the Church and China.

The number of friends Chen Luo has made in other worlds is beyond your imagination, while the number of people Chen Luo knows in his own world is far fewer than you can imagine.

"Go eat your bread. Have you finished your bread?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Liu Wenxuan.

Why are you speaking such blunt truths when you have nothing better to do?

"No..." Liu Wenxuan looked at the mountain of bread in his storage ring with some frustration, which still hadn't decreased much.

Liu Wenxuan feels like throwing up whenever he sees bread now, but the knowledge contained in these memory breads is really important.

Fortunately, the bread was delicious enough, otherwise Liu Wenxuan felt he wouldn't have been able to eat even the first mountain of bread.

Liu Wenxuan hasn't eaten anything for two days now; he's full just looking at bread.

"Then let's continue eating. Kids shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"emmm..."

"The Holy Guardian Angel is an S-rank talent with both healing and support abilities. Just from the name, you should be able to imagine what kind of person the Holy Guardian Angel is."

“I think you and this Holy Guardian Angel have a really bad relationship,” Chen Luo said.

"No, quite the opposite, we have a very good relationship,"

"How could that be? With your personality..."

“…She’s my sister,” Yvette said after a moment of silence.

"What the heck?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

“The Holy Guardian Angel is my older sister. Our relationship is slightly different from that of Yun Xia and Yun Lian’er, because of the Holy Guardian Angel’s personality; she can tolerate and accept people of almost any personality,” Yvette said.

"I've been your puppeteer for so long, and this is the first time I've heard you have an older sister. Let me see... uh, why is your sister's surname different from yours?" Chen Luo asked after glancing at Yvette's network of relationships.

After Chen Luo turned Yvette into a doll, he really didn't know much about Yvette's interpersonal relationships.

Because Chen Luo has trouble recognizing foreign faces and always finds their names very difficult to remember, he simply stopped looking at them altogether.

"It's nothing important." Yvette avoided the topic, and Chen Luo, not being overly gossipy, didn't press the matter further.

“But there is another matter that is more urgent,” Yvette said, choosing to change the subject.

"What is it?"

"Regarding the plan to create a god. According to the agreement between the church and you, you will help increase the church's faith power to a level sufficient to create a god, right?" Yvette said.

“That’s right. If we use the River God’s power to replicate the power of faith, even if it’s nine out and thirteen back, we can still make a lot of money. I happen to be in dire need of the power of faith recently, so I agreed.”

"So here's the question: if the members of the church in the main world can't tell that I've been turned into a puppet, can the gods? Can the angels? Will they be able to tell when I attend the council of gods?" Yvette raised an extremely crucial question.

"Emmm..." Chen Luo instantly fell into thought.

"Perhaps you should prepare to betray the church," Chen Luo said.

"...Can't you think of a way to solve this?" Yvette complained.

I finally got back into the church, and now you're telling me to betray the church? Why should I come back?

"Well, then we can only take a gamble. We'll gamble that nothing unusual will be discovered after you become a god. Or, could you ask the church to find a different person to create a god?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.

“It’s difficult. The priority order for the Church’s god-making plan has already been decided. Unless I die, I’m definitely the number one candidate.” Yvette shook her head.

If the church wants to exhaust all its faith and resources over the years to create a god, then this gifted being must be a true and upright angelic being; otherwise, the church will worry that the newly created god might run away.

Among the angelic talents, Yvette is definitely the most suitable one.

The Death Angel, who is also an angelic being, has a more employer-employee relationship than a relationship of faith. Although she is an angelic being of the church, the Death Angel is more inclined to do things for money and may even slack off.

Most importantly, the Death Angel's talent is not pure; it possesses an A-level talent from Shenzhou, and the Death Angel's symbolism is not positive.

Although it may sound foolish for the church to treat angels differently because of their title, it is actually a very important factor in the plan to create a god.

Because angels who have become gods through the power of faith are meant to serve as a bridge between Heaven and the human world's church, the church would rather send an A-level angel than an angel like the Angel of Death, whose connotations are inherently negative!

"Don't worry, the church originally planned to collect enough faith power by the end of this year. With me here, the process will be faster. But when the collection of faith power will be completed still depends on me. After all, if I don't give faith power to the church, the church won't have enough faith power either. I will help you find a perfect solution to your problem during this time," Chen Luo assured him.

"Thank you," Yvette replied calmly.

But Chen Luo always felt that Yvette's answer wasn't very sincere.

The evidence is that Yvette didn't even issue a commission.

This suggests that either Yvette had no expectations of Chen Luo, or Yvette was already prepared for her identity to be exposed.

“Oh, right, there’s one last thing. This is the last thing for today. After we’ve finished discussing it, I should head back. The bar is nice, but I shouldn’t linger here today,” Yvette said.

"What is it?"

"It's about our marriage," Yvette said, looking at Chen Luo.

"???"

Chapter 920 Holy Guardian Angel

"It's about our marriage."

The moment Yvette uttered those words, the entire bar seemed to freeze in time.

The entire bar fell almost silent in that instant. The noise, the clinking of glasses, the chewing of food, and the excitement of the Seven Saints Summoning Card battle all ceased.

Chen Luo could feel countless eyes looking at him.

"Lolo, can you explain the marriage issue that Yvette mentioned? Mebius, don't be so hasty. Lolo probably doesn't mean marriage as you understand it, right?" Alicia asked with a sweet smile, pressing down on the shoulder of the memory unit Mebius.

"Who's anxious knows best." Möbius glanced at Alicia and then took a small sip of his drink.

Just kidding, why would I be in such a hurry? It's not like I didn't know about this before.

There are relatively few things that can evoke emotions in the memory entity Mebius, after all, Mebius is the only person who has lived from ancient times to the present after possessing the memories of the bar.

“But if you could loosen your grip on my arm before you say that, it would be more convincing,” Alicia reminded Mebius.

"whispering sound."

"Oh, you're probably referring to that engagement between the River God and the War Angel Yvette, right? Wasn't that just a charade?"

Amidst the intense attention of everyone, Chen Luo slowly opened his mouth, and his first words were an attempt to shift the blame.

Although I don't know why these people are so concerned about me, I'll just shift the blame.

"Just playing along? So that's what you think? I understand, I'll be going now." Yvette lowered her eyes after hearing Chen Luo's words.

While everyone was speculating about the meaning of Yvette's words and her thoughts, Yvette suddenly stood up and walked straight towards the bar's door.

Just as she was about to step out of the bar, Yvette suddenly turned her head and stared quietly at Chen Luo, as if she wanted to say something.

Yvette opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing. She then lowered her head and left the bar dejectedly, closing the door behind her.

"..."

"Yvette, could she be serious about this marriage?" Misaka Mikoto, who was trying to defeat Accelerator by summoning the Seven Saints, couldn't help but ask as she watched Yvette's lonely figure leave.

"Think about it carefully, Yvette usually opposes Chen Luo every day, but isn't this behavior similar to a primary school student deliberately pulling the hair of their crush to attract their attention?" Yakumo Yukari spoke up at the right time.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You guys didn't realize that Yvette was doing this on purpose, did you?" Chen Luo looked at the accusatory, contemptuous, and worried eyes in the bar with disbelief.

No way, no way, if Yvette could fall for me, it would be like manna from heaven.

Especially you, Yakumo Yukari, you old hag who has lived for who knows how many thousands of years, how could you not see this kind of thing?

Are you trying to stir up trouble?

You're a fun person, right?

"Mr. Chen Luo, that's really going too far! Miss Yvette is already so heartbroken, and you still say that Miss Yvette is deliberately trying to gain our sympathy."

"Huh? Who's speaking?"

Chen Luo felt that the voice was unfamiliar, and it was probably someone's doing.

It's despicable, but it's somewhat useful.

“But it’s true that you and Miss Yvette are engaged, right? Marriage is sacred…” Pecorine said softly, raising her hand.

"Alright, shut up. You're being used as a pawn without even realizing it." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Pecorine.

Is it true that she's an angel? She's so easy to fool.

“Pecora is right. No matter what, joking about one’s future marriage, even if it’s just another identity of one’s, is not something that can be easily forgotten, right?” Cang Xuan, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, said.
