They Came Knocking?

"Gone?"

Inside a room in the Holy See residential district, Saint Andariel stared at the edge of the carpet. Just moments ago, that Peak soul and the centipede transformed from her physical body had suddenly vanished.

"Completely gone... without leaving a single trace?" Old Gonzales said in astonishment. "How is that possible?"

Saint Andariel immediately withdrew her tendrils and returned to human form. "The only explanation is that the Peak wasn't a real person, but a Summoned Creature." "A Summoned Creature?!" Old Gonzales could scarcely believe it. "A Peak-level Summoned Creature? Wouldn't that require an Ascension-level Creation Faction? But the strongest Creation Faction in the Main World right now, Lucifer of the Land of Exile, is only at the Peak..."

"It could also be a Mythic-grade summoning Treasure Tool," Saint Andariel said. "No matter which possibility it is, the other party is definitely an Ascension-level existence. And they should know about us now!"

As she spoke, she immediately cast a spell to restore Little Gonzales's opened skull to its original state, then dispelled the Soundproof Barrier. "The treatment isn't finished yet. He'll remain unconscious for a few days. Be careful during these past few days, and let's meet less often. Several Ascension-level beings have gathered here. I need to investigate as well and find out exactly who has set their sights on us."

After saying that, the Grand Nun left the room, leaving Old Gonzales alone to stare at his unconscious son.

"So Old Gonzales and Saint Andariel really are Chaos Creatures!" Luo Jun stroked his chin. He had thought only one cardinal bishop had been infiltrated by Chaos, but he hadn't expected even Ascension-level beings to include Chaos entities.

And that was only the Holy See. Could other factions be the same...

Luo Jun did not dare to imagine
