Blood Bishop-Is This Title Here to Stay?

"I've seen a similar statue before in a Fourth Epoch site."

Klein manipulated the [World] puppet and slowly spoke.

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Luther. This was the underground ruins Luther had also visited, the place where the Red Angel Medici had died. The statues were placed in other rooms outside the passageway, and compared to the evil figures in the murals, these statues appeared far more sacred.

However, Luther fled the scene immediately without investigating and was unaware of these events.

The members of the Tarot Club looked at the statue displayed in [The World].

A lady dressed in a black classical robe adorned with stars; a plump lady cradling a baby, surrounded by plants; a majestic man wielding a trident, standing on the waves; a young man holding a golden ball and a book of Contract; a young man sitting high on Throne, wielding a sharp sword; a wise old man holding a book, wearing a hood, revealing only his wrinkles and beard.

Beneath each statue is the Sacred Emblem of a deity from the Northern Continent.

"Could these be statues of the gods?"

The crowd quickly matched the Sacred Emblem with the deity, feeling astonished but also puzzled.

Because in the present era, there is no image of a deity in the Church, only symbols as substitutes, which are touted as the manifestation of the True God.

"In other words, the six True God depicted in the murals are Distortion, which means that the True Creator is at odds with them," Alger said absentmindedly, seemingly very interested in this secret of the gods. "So, in the Fourth Epoch, the True God also had human forms."

But why did this propaganda stop in the Fifth Epoch?

Alger Hanged Man, suspected there must be a reason for this, but he couldn't know it yet.

Everyone reacted in different ways and discussed it seriously for a while.

After the atmosphere gradually quieted down, [Justice] Audrey glanced at Luze and said in a normal tone, "Just yesterday, the Extraordinary One who orchestrated the 'Kapin Case' and killed Lanius has reappeared. The Andean Earl's mansion in Queen Backlund was raided, the Earl himself is dead, and there are signs of other Extraordinary Ones present at the scene."

"Investigators later discovered that the Earl was linked to an evil organization called the 'Rose School of Thought.' As for the extraordinary individual, he is currently officially referred to as the 'Blood Bishop.'"

Blood Bishop?

That sounds like a perfect description of Luther.

Klein, sitting at the head of the long table, couldn't help but think to himself.

What a terrifying name. Mr. Anderson has done something big again these past two days.

[The Magician] Fors thought the same thing.

The Rose School of Thought is an organization that worships evil gods, and this guy called the "Blood Bishop" seems to be very interested in fighting against evil gods.

[The Hanged Man] Alger was more focused on the other person's purpose, but then he suddenly had a thought, as if he had realized something.

According to internal documents from the Church of Storms, it has been basically confirmed that the [Blood Bishop] is an Extraordinary being of the Secrets Suppliant Pathway. However, unlike other Extraordinary beings in this Sequence, he not only does not believe in the True Creator, but he also killed Lanevus, who was pregnant with the Evil God's Offspring!

A powerful figure who follows the Secrets Suppliant Pathway, and an enemy of the True Creator —this rare combination is one I've personally witnessed before!

--Mr. Temperance at the Tarot Club.

[Temperance] is very likely [Blood Bishop]!

Is this name now finalized?

Luther had some reservations about the title, but there was nothing he could do to get someone from MI9 to change it for him. He glanced at everyone and immediately started another topic:

"Gentlemen, why do you think Duke Negan keeps being assassinated?"

As far as Luther himself knows, there have been two assassination attempts against the Duke Negan, making this Conservative Party leader's life fraught with danger.

On this topic, Derrick the Sun from the Forsaken Land of the Gods and Fors the Magician from the common citizen obviously had little say; only Audrey Justice and Alger the Hanged Man could offer their opinions.

"It's probably related to his status."

Audrey boldly speculated, "The Duke Negan is a major supporter of the Conservative Party and the brother of the current Prime Minister, Aguesid. He belongs to the wealthiest and most powerful group in Backlund."

"If the Duke Negan dies, the Prime Minister will lose support, the Conservative Party will suffer a setback, and new political forces will replace them—the new aristocracy and merchants who have profited greatly from the Industrial Revolution."

Her father, Earl Hall, was essentially the latter.

"I don't think this is a political struggle. Or rather, it shouldn't just be a political struggle."

Alger Hanged Man, pondered, "The person behind this is very clear about their purpose, and is using more and more resources to achieve it; clearly, they are determined to reach their goal."

The first assassination attempt on Duke Negan was carried out by a former Pirate Admiral, Sequence 6 Qilingus, while the second was perpetrated by a member of the Devil Family lurking in Backlund, Sequence 5, the "Desire Apostle."

The fact that a powerful Pirate Admiral could land on the seas and that a long-standing Devil could be revealed indicates that the mastermind behind the scenes offered extremely generous terms, so generous that they were willing to abandon their current situation and take the risk.

"I'm afraid the assassinations will continue until Duke Negan is truly dead."

He continued.

"So who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"

[Justice] Audrey felt that what the other person said made some sense, so she pressed for more information.

"."

Alger wanted to say it was Royal Family, but it would be risky to say that to [Justice], who was a nobleman. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the great being at the head of the table move.

Knock knock.

[The Fool] taps the table lightly with his finger.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and instinctively looked at the mysterious figure shrouded in Gray Fog.

The person chuckled softly and uttered a name:

"The Twilight Hermit Order"

Meanwhile, in Queens, at the Earl of the Andes mansion.

"Call"

After completing the investigation assigned to him, Cons sighed deeply.

He looked preoccupied.

The events of last night made Cons Consciousness his recklessness and the danger of the extraordinary incident. He wanted to see his family and also wanted to re-examine himself. But he didn't expect that the Blood Bishop would have so much energy, coming to Empress Borough after killing the Werewolf.

The result of the Blood Bishop's activity was that he was called back to work overtime before he even had a chance to go home.

"What's wrong, Cons?"

He heard someone ask him a question behind him, turned around, and saw that it was his captain Levi.

"It's nothing, Mr. Levi."

Cons forced a smile and said, "I'm just a little tired from working overtime."
