If it were any other bishop with combat ability, although they would have no chance of winning against the Sword Master, a mere Adamantite-level adventurer would be no different from trash to them, because the Gospel of their goddess was such a powerful thing.

“Hey, instead of worrying about No. 1, why don’t you help me think of a solution? My opponents here are those old men from the Church. Although I haven’t encountered any problems for the time being, that’s because those old men don’t want that monster to come out. If that monster, Juesi Jueming, is released, I think my side will probably be wiped out by that monster in an instant. Damn it.”

No. 5 touched his head and looked like he had a headache. Ever since he learned about the existence of the guardian Juesi Jueming above the Church, he has been living in fear. Although he knew that his and others' lives would be sacrificed to the goddess sooner or later, he joined the Goddess Church in order to survive, so his idea was to wait until he had enjoyed his life before dying.

"Ah, then please cheer yourself up."

No. 3 said and waved his hand.

"I stayed up all night yesterday. If there was nothing else, I would log off now."

"Hey, are you being particularly cold to me? Are you treating me differently?"

"No, you're overthinking it."

No. 5 felt that this guy must be looking down on him, or rather, that everyone in the entire church looked down on him. Even his subordinates would occasionally gossip about him as the bishop, saying that they didn't know why a loser like him could receive such a powerful gospel.

Tsk, his belief in the goddess is definitely not much lower than these bastards, okay? If the goddess really wants him to sacrifice, he will be afraid, but he will never refuse. He can guarantee this. But the goddess never set a time limit for them, right? Then why can't he enjoy life for a while? Besides, he obviously drew the worst fortune, but he is seriously completing the plan.

"When you encounter danger, use the mirror I gave you." No. 9 said coldly to No. 5.

"Of course, I will definitely do that." No. 5 said without any shame, "But if possible, I would like more life-saving props."

No. 9 remained silent.

This guy is really greedy.

Greedy.

[Chapter 80: Church Meeting (Part 2)]

"Hmph, boring. I have successfully conquered the lizardmen and am preparing to go to the dwarf kingdom. I heard that there is a dragon king there. How about I capture the dragon king alive?"

As soon as No. 2 opened his mouth, he announced some very explosive news. Although there are indeed not many good masters among the Lizardmen, the speed is too fast anyway. He is worthy of being the guy with the strongest destructive power among the ten. This guy probably already has the combat power of a demon god. His natural ability that becomes stronger with each battle is really too unfair, and the good news is that it is a combat-related one.

"Wow, you are worthy of being the boss."

No. 5 wants to curry favor with someone.

Because No. 2's gospel is fire elementalization, which is different from the basic gospel of controlling flames. It is a more advanced gospel. Not only can it control flames, it can even let itself burn into a state of full body elementalization. It can gain stronger combat effectiveness by burning magic power. No. 2 is also a natural psychic with a physique of "getting stronger with each battle". As long as he keeps fighting, he can accumulate experience and gain stronger power.

Originally, this innate ability was not considered powerful, because if this ability fell on a person without talent, he would not gain much experience by fighting with ordinary people. Although experience could be gained by defeat, in that case, only the minimum experience could be gained. This was an ability that could only be effective on a strong person. However, No. 2, who received the blessing of the goddess, awakened talents that he had never had before, stimulated the potential of this ability, and became a true strong person.

"I'm not the boss, our identities should be equal." No. 2 really disliked No. 5's embarrassing behavior. They were both at the same bishop level, but this guy was arbitrarily doing some stratification.

"I just simply admire the boss, and there is no other intention." No. 5 said, touching his head.

Number 2 looked at the guy.

In a sense, this guy is very dangerous.

No. 1 asked at this time: "Dragon King... it shouldn't be easy to capture the dragons alive, right?"

"Don't worry, that guy is just a self-proclaimed Dragon King, not the legendary Dragon King."

No. 2 gave a brief explanation.

However, the guy who can make the Dwarf Kingdom helpless, even if he is not a real Dragon King, must be a demon-level monster, and it is still difficult to capture him alive.

"Then I'll go over and help No. 2. I happen to have an extra seat here." No. 6 raised her hand and said. Her ability is that of a beast tamer, but she is a little different from ordinary beast tamers.

No. 2 looked at No. 6 with great interest and said with a smile: "Wow~ That's really worth looking forward to. If you can tame the dragon king, you should be able to fight with me. How about helping me train it then?"

"Ha... I am a lady after all."

"Hahaha, I'll take that as your agreement."

"Well, if it's just a test of my ability, it doesn't matter. I'm also curious about how much amplitude the dragon species can bring to me." No. 6 said with a smile.

Her ability is to merge with the monsters she has tamed into one, thereby gaining the monsters' attributes and abilities. What's more terrifying is that each fusion will increase the monsters' loyalty to her. This can be said to be a very unfair ability. The only flaw of this ability is that it is too heavy a burden and cannot be used for a long time. If she uses all her strength, it is hard to say whether she can last more than 3 minutes. This trick can only be used as a killer.

"Ah, seriously, can I log off now?" No. 3 raised his hand again and asked.

No. 1 smiled and nodded: "Well, go offline and have a rest early. I will leave you a message later if there is anything. Take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

"If you really think so, then don't assign me such a troublesome task. I'm exhausted running around with a group of old men every day. And every day I'm stared at with obscene eyes by different men. It's so annoying." No. 3 complained about things in life and his figure gradually disappeared.

"If you really don't like it that much, why don't we switch." No. 5 muttered to himself. Running around with the Chamber of Commerce is definitely better than being a traitor in the Church. He really wants to switch.

No. 4 said indifferently:

"Then I'll log off too."

This guy didn't say a few words during the whole meeting. No. 5 looked at No. 4's seat and thought silently that this guy's ability was the most dangerous, because this guy's ability was "Dusk". That's right, it was the power of their goddess. However, this guy's ability could only be used once, and the condition for using it was to sacrifice one's life, so he didn't envy the favor this guy received at all.

However, No. 4 himself seemed very happy. He could probably guess what No. 4 was thinking. He should be thinking that he was favored by the goddess and could go to where the goddess was at any time. After all, it was such a blessing.

However, precisely because his abilities are so limited, No. 4 has no mission to perform and can freely enjoy the life of a landlord on the farm. I am so envious of him.

"No. 1, we can't continue investigating the matter of that large tomb." No. 10 left this sentence and went offline. He was the eyes of the Goddess Cult, commonly known as the intelligence department. No. 1 had previously asked him to help investigate a large underground tomb because it seemed to be the base of "Ainz Ooal Gown".

But it seems that it is really dangerous there, even No. 10

I didn't have the confidence to sneak into that place.

"Then I'll get off too."

Number 8 said nothing as usual.

Similar to the mission of No. 10, if No. 10 is the eye, then No. 8 is the sharp knife, responsible for tasks such as assassination and tracking. At the same time, No. 8 is also responsible for dealing with traitors. Although such a thing should not happen, such a unit still exists.

No. 5 even felt that this unit was targeting him, because if there was anyone who could possibly betray the cult, it would probably be a coward like him, and he was very aware of this.

"Ugh......"

Number 5 raised his hand and said, "Then I'll sign off. I hope someone will accept my application for assistance."

Although it is probably impossible for anyone to accept this, he will just say this in every meeting.

This is roughly what the meetings of the Goddess Cult are like. Since everyone is very motivated and loyal, the meetings are basically just routine reports. Furthermore, No. 1's strategy is indeed not false, and he is worthy of being the best in the kingdom.

As the flames faded away one by one, the cave returned to its original appearance, leaving no trace of its existence. This technology was truly superb.

In the Royal Palace of the Royal Capital.

Golden Princess Lana opened her eyes on the bed.

[Chapter 81: Legendary Hero]

The Platinum Dragon King was walking in the market of the capital of the empire. Since the Goddess Cult reformed and included new members, the cult has become less high-profile and all the members have gone into hiding. If he had not held back and deliberately not killed all the believers he found, he would probably be in the same situation as the Sword Master now, unable to continue tracking the traces of the Goddess Cult. However, although he was able to lock the location of multiple members of the Goddess Cult, he still did not catch the tail of the Goddess Cult. Because the bishop he was tracking had a very tricky ability, especially good at escaping and hiding.

"They really haven't given up yet, and the situation is becoming more and more serious." The Platinum Hero attracted a lot of attention walking on the street, because the armor on his body was a legendary equipment, which was particularly eye-catching. In addition, many adventurers who specialized in history recognized that this was the legendary armor.

"After the user of the magic sword appeared, has someone inherited the armor of the platinum hero? I feel that something terrible may happen next. Demon lord-level monsters, cults worshiping evil gods, and the successors of the hero are also appearing one after another." An adventurer said this with a sad look on his face, worried about the future.

The Platinum Dragon King glanced at the people around him. Although the laws of the empire are stricter and more majestic than those of the kingdom, there is no shortage of such people everywhere whose hearts are controlled by desire.

"The Goddess Cult is indeed carrying out activities here. Are they replenishing materials?" The Platinum Dragon King found these stores based on the traces left by the cult. He tried to inquire about the identities of these Goddess Cult members, but the Goddess Cult used magic to hide their appearance, and the owners of the major stores did not know more information.

Moreover, the shopping list of the Goddess Cult was very complicated, ranging from sundries to materials for monsters, etc. It was impossible to deduce the true intentions of the Goddess Cult from this shopping list. However, he still found the imperial guard station and reported the news that the Goddess Cult had infiltrated the country, but this should not be enough to affect the activities of the Goddess Cult in this country.

Because the bishop here is a guy who is proficient in space magic, this is why even though he can track the opponent's position, he always fails.

The guard looked at the adventurer in gorgeous armor and asked seriously, "Are you sure you're not kidding? Have you really found those guys from the Evil God Cult in this city?"

"Well, I hope you can be more vigilant next time." The reason why the Platinum Dragon King reminded the empire was that he was worried that the tragedy of the kingdom would be repeated in the empire. Although he didn't care about the life and death of mankind, it would be bad if the Goddess Church gained stronger power because of this, which would affect the entire world.

"Thank you for your report. Please leave your name and contact information. We will investigate."

"Rick Aganea, because I still have to continue investigating the movements of the Evil God Cult, there is no way to leave contact information. Anyway, you guys should be careful." The Platinum Dragon King gave a pseudonym that he had prepared in advance without thinking. He was already accustomed to this kind of thing. After all, he also used a pseudonym to infiltrate the team of heroes back then.

"Wait, your unauthorized actions like this will cause us a lot of trouble..." The guard wanted to stop the unidentified adventurer, but when he was about to do so, a strong aura suddenly appeared from the adventurer. Under the influence of that aura, everyone in the guard station lost consciousness briefly. When they woke up again, the adventurer was gone, which was scary.

Too strong, such a strong adventurer is simply unheard of. The chief of the guard station wrote the report as quickly as possible and uploaded it. This matter has exceeded his authority. Although it is just speculation, it should be decided by His Majesty the Emperor himself on how to deal with it.

The Platinum Dragon King left the guard post and came to the highest point of the imperial capital. Standing on the top of the tower, he could see the whole city and activated

Scanning skills to find traces of the Goddess Cult.

"What exactly do these guys want to do in the Empire? Do they want to repeat the events of the Kingdom? No, their style of doing things has changed drastically. They won't be exposed so easily now, but it is certain that their intention is to conduct a large-scale sacrificial ceremony."

Thinking back to several times before in the kingdom, the Goddess Cult had set up formations around cities, trying to destroy the entire city with this large-scale sacrificial formation, so he had developed the habit of using scans to explore the city every time he arrived in a city.

but......

"As expected, there is no trace of that formation. Has a very remarkable wise man appeared in the Goddess Cult? A guy who can still maintain consciousness under the aura of the evil god is a very dangerous person."

The Platinum Dragon King could roughly guess the situation within the Goddess Cult, but he could only guess this far, as he was not good at this aspect.

"Hmm? Action?!"

In his telepathy, the chess piece of the Bishop suddenly appeared and began to move, and the direction of his advance was actually the kingdom? The Platinum Dragon King's pupils shrank. Damn it, could it be that these guys' goal has always been the kingdom, and the practice of dispersing to various places is just a trick to confuse him?

But it shouldn't be.

The Kingdom still had the Sword Saint girl, and the Dark Hero, an adventurer whose strength was not much weaker than his clone. What on earth were those guys from the Goddess Cult thinking? Wasn't the Kingdom the most dangerous place for them now?

and many more!

The target of the Goddess Cult was not the rulers of various countries from the beginning. They wanted to conduct a large-scale sacrifice. So they only needed to attract the Sword Master and the Dark Hero to a certain place, and they could start the action in other cities. The only one who could lock onto the actions of the Goddess Cult was also brought to the Empire, so that no one could stop the Goddess Cult!

"What a mistake. It's probably too late to rush over now. The other party is a master of space magic. Unless I have the means to teleport directly over, I won't be able to stop them even if I run over at full speed. They only need 24 hours to complete the arrangement of the formation."

The Platinum Dragon King jumped off the tower and rushed towards the destination with all his strength. Although it was probably too late, there was no other way except to chase after him.

[Chapter 9: No. 's Action]

"Hahaha, what kind of legendary hero is this? Is his brain okay? He can't even see through such an obvious trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He's just a guy with brute force." In the shadow of a certain street, a drunkard who had fallen to the ground got up, muttered softly while pouring wine into his mouth, with a distorted look of mockery on his face.

If the Platinum Dragon King had noticed this drunkard, he would have discovered that this drunkard was a member of the Twilight Cult, a guy who claimed to be a member of the Goddess Cult. Unfortunately, at the moment when the "bishop"'s induction appeared, the Platinum Dragon King's attention was completely attracted to that side, and he did not notice that there were a large number of cultists hiding under the shadow of the city.

The Goddess Church here is under the jurisdiction of Archbishop No. 9, and the area they are responsible for is the Empire. However, because the Empire itself is not in the priority of the plan, it is okay even if the operation here fails. This is also the reason why the number is only 9. The order of the numbers is determined by the region and priority.

That being said, in fact, among the tasks numbered 1 to 10, only the first three tasks must be completed. It has nothing to do with the difficulty. It's just that these three tasks are the easiest to complete and are most likely to achieve the goals of the Goddess Church. In terms of task difficulty, the task of number 5 is actually the most difficult. After all, his task is to infiltrate the top leaders of the Church and secretly plan to change the world.

This is also the reason why No. 5 felt that his mission was absolutely impossible to complete. The difficulty of this mission was already ridiculously high. Unexpectedly, they underestimated the combat power of the Silian Theocracy at the beginning and did not take into account the existence of the monster Juesi Jueming.

However, regardless of the priority of the tasks, basically all bishops are working hard to complete the tasks they have been assigned. After all, there is a possibility that tasks 1 to 3 will fail, and their reinforcements will be needed at that time.

As for No. 4 who has no mission, it is because of No. 4's ability. Because of the nature of No. 4's ability, basically as long as he is dispatched, he will be able to achieve a mission goal, so it doesn't matter whether he has a mission or not.

However, the task on No. 9's side is also not easy. Knowing that the "Platinum Hero" has used some unknown method to lock up a large number of previous believers, No. 1 assigned all these old members to No. 9 who possesses [Shadow Space Magic]. His task is to attract eyes in the empire.

However, in previous events, the Juggernaut had demonstrated the ability to cause damage to the shadow space, so No. 1 took action to drag the Juggernaut into the kingdom. Fortunately, these heroes did not form an alliance with each other, resulting in the Juggernaut having no idea about the information on the Platinum Hero, and would not affect No. 9's actions.

All these plans were thought up by No. 1. In short, he was a very scary guy. Even though he had no fighting ability, he was one of the most terrifying among the bishops and the intellectual leader of the Goddess Cult.

At this time, the Platinum Dragon King didn't know that he had fallen into the trap.

Because of his negligence, the empire had been successfully infiltrated by the Goddess Cult without anyone noticing.

Even though the Blood Emperor received the report from the Guards, the Empire did not find any spies from the Goddess Church during the subsequent inspections. There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the Goddess's gospel was a dimensional blow to ordinary people in this world.

However, the Blood Emperor was still aware that the Goddess Cult had invaded his country. It was not because he found any clues, but simply an intuition. Moreover, the information about the Platinum Hero was no secret. After all, the Platinum Dragon King had stopped many actions of the Goddess Cult. It was just that most people did not know the specific information, but it was obviously impossible for the Blood Emperor not to know it. So after knowing that this matter was reported by that hero, the Blood Emperor was almost 100% sure of the truth.

"Contact the Sword Saint and ask her to come back. Now the Twilight Goddess Cult is no longer just a problem for the kingdom!"

Although the Blood Emperor's decision was quite correct, whether he could command the Sword Saint was a big question. It would be fine if he had already grasped the whereabouts of some of the Goddess Cult, but he had not found out anything.

same time.

The junction of kingdom and empire.

A young boy dressed in religious uniform emerged from the shadow of a tree. He looked young, only 1.5 meters tall, and quite beautiful. He used to be a high-end commodity, but after hearing the gospel revelation of the Goddess, he joined the Goddess Church without hesitation. He was a boy who was willing to sacrifice everything for the Goddess. He is now one of the ten bishops.

"Mochi."

"Number 10, you should call me Number 9. I have abandoned my past identity."

The boy looked in that direction indifferently.

A man with his whole body hidden under a coat was standing there, but he didn't notice the other person's existence until the other person spoke. He was clearly a zombie full of stinking body. His stealth ability was too terrifying.

No. 10's ability is [Breath Blocking].

"Okay, No. 9, this is the map of the big tomb. But let me make it clear in advance that the surface of the big tomb is camouflaged with a lot of advanced camouflage. Although it looks ordinary, the interior is a series of spatial faults, and each layer is arranged with a very advanced barrier."

"Oh? Then how did you survive?"

"My Gospel has evolved and gained a new ability - [Nothingness], which can temporarily remove my concepts from the root of the world. Although there is a time limit, there is no place I cannot go during that period. However, there seems to be an item in the deep layer of that big tomb that can greatly weaken my ability. I'm afraid it's a real artifact. That place is very dangerous."

“The Evolution of the Gospel…”

Number 9's eyes flickered.

Each member of the cult will resonate with the goddess based on the rituals they initially accepted. The more devout their faith and the higher the degree of resonance, the stronger the gospel will receive. However, at the same time, the gospel with stronger abilities in the initial stage will also need to complete more difficult rituals in order to evolve.

Unexpectedly, No. 10 has already completed the evolution ahead of others and acquired advanced skills.
