"The 'Black Emperor' has circled here a few times. If it hasn't already discovered what we are trying to get rid of, it is almost reaching its destination."
Bernadette, who was wearing a women's shirt with a large lace flower on the collar, a captain's uniform of the same color as her eyes, a tricorn hat, and her long hair tied into a bun, carefully observed the movement of the red dot and made a judgment.
"Maybe Nast Solomon is not sure of the location of the tomb. He just got vague information and inferred the general direction."
Anne said in a soft but majestic tone. She knelt on the chair and raised her body with her hands so that she could see the compass on the table clearly.
Suddenly, the red dot representing "King of the Five Seas", the Black Emperor, flashed and started moving again, with a clear purpose and no longer turning left and right.
The two looked at each other, Bernadette raised his hand, and the unmanned "Dawn" turned the rudder and sail, chasing the ship that could not be detected by the naked eye among Storm and could only rely on this compass to locate the ship.
Anne, on the other hand, does not need to command the "Queen Anne's Revenge" that is following it at all. The ship is herself.
The "balance" force blocking Storm around it became more condensed and contracted, allowing the rising and falling waves and frequent lightning to be closer to the two ships, preventing large-scale anomalies from being discovered.
They just quietly followed "Black Emperor" and explored the depths of the Fog Sea.
Far away in the route of the three ships, a small island revealed its black outline.
After leaving Tingen City, Angel made arrangements for Backlund, and did not take the airship or ocean-going ship that Beyonder boarded by Goddess Church, but directly followed Mirror World came to East Balam of the Southern Continent, and Church of the Evernight Goddess appeared in Vertec City, the city controlled by Loen and the closest to Ancient Forest.
The local captain Nighthawks, who had already been informed by the telegram that a senior deacon would be visiting, quickly sorted out the information Angel needed and handed her a thick stack of documents.
Borrowing an office, Angel carefully looked through the information accumulated by the local Nighthawks over the years, and soon sighed in disappointment.
The key target of this operation, "Rose School", was already formed in the Southern Continent in the early stages of Fifth Epoch. Because the Berserk Sea formed by the fall of "Death" blocked the southern North Continent With the navigation of, the faith of the Seven Gods could not touch this place and grew stronger. It once dominated Highlands Kingdom and Pas Kingdom, and was an orthodox organization alongside Balam Empire and Death Church.
"Rose School" believed in "Chained God" and established a ritual system based on bloody sacrifices and Indulgence desires, including skinning people, making human pillars, and fanatically releasing all kinds of desires. Therefore, in After the North Continent countries came back to the Southern Continent along the safe channel discovered by Emperor Roselle and started colonization, they were undoubtedly labeled as evil sects. They were suppressed by the colonists and Orthodox Church, turned to underground preaching, and became more and more extreme.
During this period, "Rose School" not only joined forces with the anti-colonial armed forces to fight against the colonists and tried to drive them out of the Southern Continent, but also took advantage of the north-south navigation to travel to the North Continent countries to create various terrorist incidents, claiming that the invasion would not stop and the attacks would not stop.
Of course, judging from the bloody methods and the sacrificial traces left behind by the terrorist incidents, their main purpose may not be to fight against the colonists, but simply for blood sacrifice.
In the war that broke out a year ago and only stopped recently, Rose School used Southern Continent to mobilize multiple Demigod to launch attacks in different colonial cities when colonists from different countries clashed. "Numinous Episcopate" who had always cooperated with them and believed in Death did not participate for some reason, but they still took back a lot of territory that originally belonged to the Balam Empire and Highlands Kingdom.
It was not until the end of the war, when Loen Kingdom and Intis Republic came to the negotiating table and Southern Continent calmed down that the colonial army and Orthodox Church's Beyonder recaptured those cities.
Everything they could see was a suffocating scene: the mottled city walls and towers were covered with layers of human skin folds, and the majestic altar was piled up by tens of thousands of pale bones.
When the believers of "Rose School" evacuated, these cities had already completed the last blood sacrifice ceremony. The colonists and aborigines, regardless of high or low, were frozen in a pool of blood, and the entire city turned into a sacrifice soaked in blood and tears.
This is the reason why newly emerged cult organizations such as "School of Truth" and "Great Mother believers" are clearly within easy reach of the North Continent, but the major orthodox sects immediately set "Rose School" as a key target.
But the only problem is that most of the information collected by Vertekk's official Beyonders was before the war, and has long since become outdated intelligence after nearly a year of war. Not to mention those elusive Demigods, even the lurking strongholds in the city were deserted, as if they had already expected retaliation.
These Indulgence desires are easily controlled by emotions and instincts. Although Beyonder acts impulsively, they are not without brains.
Looking at the pieces of information marked "invalid", Angel guessed that the situation in other Southern Continent colonial cities might be similar to this one, and he became increasingly pessimistic about his next mission.
She believes that with her Sequence 2's "Catastrophe" Demoness, combined with "Salinger’s Blood Banner" and other Sealed Artifact, there will be no True God and King of Angel exist. At most, there is only Archangel and Southern Continent. There is no need to worry about frontal combat, but there is no clue on how to find the enemy.
Even if she now has the confidence to knock "Abomination" Suah's head open with a flagpole - provided that he has a brain - it will be in vain if she can't find the other party.
Sighing again, she opened another document, which contained a lot of information about "Numinous Episcopate".
This secret organization, which also originated from the Southern Continent and believed in "Death", was formerly Balam Empire's only belief in "Death Church". After the death of Salinger, he tried to resurrect this God, but later fell apart due to the invasion of the North Continent countries, went underground, and split into several factions.
Angel had half the ship blown up before, and later became Klein's Marionette's "Hell Admiral" Ludwell, the spokesperson for their power at sea.
"Numinous Episcopate" is mainly divided into "Royalist Faction" and "Artificial Death Faction". There are also many other small factions, which have multiple Saint. They have established many subordinate organizations under the North Continent and have also caused many terrorist incidents. They have only stopped in the past year.
Of course, Angel knows the underlying reason because Evernight Goddess has mastered Uniqueness and a copy of Sequence 1 Characteristic of "Death". Having obtained the corresponding authority, in a sense He is already "Death". He can answer prayers and can naturally influence these organizations, especially "Artificial Death Faction" who is committed to resurrecting Death.
I remember that Klein became the favored one of Death because of this, and deceived Saint, a Numinous Episcopate, into being his subordinate. Now there are really three families of believers, no, three families of favored ones... Do I want to become the favored one of God of Combat? As long as "Sword of Glory" is pulled out, no one will have any objections... Angel's mouth corners slightly raised and he continued to look down.
"Royalist Faction" is the strongest faction of Numinous Episcopate. The leader calls himself "Pale Empress". He is said to have the blood of God and is called Sia Palenque Eggers. It is confirmed that he is a Angel, but he does not know whether he is Sequence 1 or Sequence 2. There are five saints under Him, some are already Saint, and some have the same strength relying on Sealed Artifact.
"Artificial Death Faction" is second only to them. The leader is also a Angel, whose identity is unknown. There are three others Saint. According to the pre-war intelligence, they are all in the Southern Continent. This is not consistent with their focus on resurrecting Death and frequently causing terrorist incidents in the North Continent.
There is even less information about other "Repose Faction" and "Underworld Faction".
Closing the file, Angel leaned back in his chair and began to sort out the information in his mind.
There is no doubt that "Rose School", who superficially believe in Chained God but are actually controlled by "Mother Tree of Desire", Outer Deity, are the absolute priority targets. However, their Demigod's whereabouts are uncertain, and it is difficult to use divination locks because Outer Deity is involved. How to find them is the biggest problem.
As for "Numinous Episcopate" who is committed to resurrecting Death and re-establishing Balam Empire, Angel believes that it is a target that can be won over. This is not only because the Salinger they believe in has fallen and has not been Outer Deity controls faith because Evernight Goddess can quickly master the power of Death. These Beyonder are equivalent to the "reserves" of the Evernight Goddess sect, and their status is similar to that of the surrendered God of War Church.
Moreover, "Pale Empress" also has the surname Eggers. It is very likely that he is really a descendant of Death Salinger and has a blood relationship with Mr. Azik... Recalling the information of "Pale Empress", Angel was thoughtful.
Judging from the strength comparison between "Royalist Faction" and "Artificial Death Faction", Angel believes that it is more likely that "Pale Empress" is Sequence 1. After all, "Death" Pathway is three copies of Sequence 1 One of Beyonder Characteristic has been obtained by Evernight Goddess, and the other is in the hands of Bernadette, becoming her "0" level Sealed Artifact "Pale Death". The last copy is very likely to appear in the hands of the descendants of Death.
The most important thing is that Bernadette once said that the name of Sequence 1 Potion of Death is called "Pale Emperor".
With a general understanding of the strength of the enemies and possible allies he was about to face, Angel walked out of the office and returned to the ground along the spiral staircase that seemed to be present in every Church of the Evernight Goddess. Only to find that the captain Nighthawks who had received him before was walking towards him with a man in a hooded robe.
The latter's steps were silent, and his whole person seemed to be integrated with the surroundings, not even Angel's Spirituality was aware of it.
In this case, she is only at the "Seer" of High Sequence, that is, Beyonder at the level of Klein and Zarathus They have seen it happen, because their control over Spirit World is enough to affect their divination and prophecy, making most Beyonder's Spirituality intuition dull.
Thinking of this, Angel's eyes immediately became alert.
"Dear Your Highness 'Goddess Shadow', this Your Excellency claims to be the special envoy sent by Holy Cathedral to help you complete the next mission."
The captain said respectfully.
special envoy? Why don't I know...Angel's doubts gradually arose in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on the face of the hooded man until he took off his hood and exposed his face.
It was a face that was quite young, with delicate features, but with tufts of thick black short hair.
That was the face Angel once glimpsed in the crack of the door of the "Nation of the Evernight" palace at the top of the Hornacis Mountain Range.
