"And you two sisters have inherited this talent..."

"So, you still have a motive to kill Aili. If you want to prove your innocence, please open your Status Panel and let us see your attributes and level. If I remember correctly, you should be level 83 now," Ekaterina said quietly.

There was no threat or coercion in his tone.

However, anyone could feel the powerful sense of oppression emanating from Ekaterina.

"If you're still level 83, that's enough to prove you're telling the truth. I'll help you deal with Sylph and Athena without you even lifting a finger. But if you're not..."

As she spoke, Ekaterina walked toward Eileen.

With each step closer, the pressure increases.

Sylph, Athena, and Rosweisse all had their eyes fixed on Eileen.

Even with her current immense strength, Eileen was struggling to withstand the overwhelming pressure, her petite body huddled pitifully in a ball, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

How terrifying, how horrible.

Why would Ekaterina know these things?

Who could have imagined that this seemingly rude and barbaric woman would deliver the most fatal blow at this crucial moment?

"So that's how it is?" Rosweisse raised an eyebrow. "Hey, Eileen, you'll show us your panel, right?"

Eileen's throat bobbed, and she instinctively backed away, soon leaning against the wall behind her. "Rosweisse, you... you can't believe her, she's talking nonsense..."

"Since she's talking nonsense, you wouldn't mind showing us the panel, would you?"

"After all, this is the best way to prove your innocence, or are you hiding something from us?" Rosweisse's voice gradually turned cold.

A silver-white magic wand appeared in his palm, and his Magic Power began to surge.

Sylph sneered, and a Wind Arrow was already faintly visible on her longbow.

A powerful Magic Power was gathering in Athena's palm, and Ekaterina had already grasped the heavy two-handed greatsword.

Eileen's hesitation and delay have essentially led everyone to believe that Eileen is the murderer of Aili.

He could even kill his own sister, frame Ronald, assassinate Muse, and betray Sylph; Athena was no match for him.

With only a cold wall behind him, he had nowhere to escape. Even though he was now level 89, he didn't have much of a chance against four enemies who were all over level 80, especially one of them Ekaterina was level 87.

Seeing no hope of escape, Eileen steeled herself and completely tore off all pretense. A rock-yellow crystal appeared in her delicate white hand. "Stop right there! This is a fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment. You don't want me to crush it, do you?"

Eileen has learned the same methods that Athena used.

But... the effect was even worse.

Just as Eileen took out the Soul Fragment, a spike suddenly emerged from the ground in front of her, shooting upwards with a whoosh.

Then, the tip of the earth spike struck Eileen's two fingers with extreme precision, sending Jello's Soul Fragment flying.

As if it had been planned beforehand, while Aili was still in shock, Sylph flew over with a whoosh and grabbed Jello's Soul Fragment in her palm.

It can only be said that the apprentice's apprentice's skills are simply not refined enough.

Seeing the Soul Fragment being sent flying, Eileen instinctively tried to snatch it back, but she had no chance. Taking advantage of the fact that Rosweisse's attention was also drawn to the Soul Fragment and her encirclement of her slightly relaxed, Eileen gritted her teeth and slammed her petite body directly into the window.

Amidst shards of shattered glass, Eileen lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her body vanished in an instant.

Her speed was astonishing, like a bolt of lightning.

The others wanted to give chase, but it was too late.

Rosweisse's face was filled with deep desolation. Eileen had defected, and now the Hero's Party was down to only four people. How could they possibly revive Lord Jello?

"Rosweisse, you don't need to be sad."

Ekaterina's gaze swept over Rosweisse, then moved to Sylph and Athena in turn. She gently opened her arms, her voice carrying a hint of seduction:

"Even though there are only four of us left."

"But we've already purged the mole; everyone left is one of our own!"

"They are the best partners, comrades-in-arms who will depend on each other for life and death!"

"Our team is more united now."

Thank you for the donation from Mr./Ms. Du. Thank you for your support.

Chapter 309 Rosweisse, do you want to be Pope? (4)

The Hero's Party once consisted of ten members, but now five are dead.

Benson, Ronald, Muse, Karthus, and Aili are all dead.

Eileen defected.

What a powerful team it was! Now it has suffered a severe loss, but the remaining four are all united by their goal of reviving Jello, and each of them is a trustworthy partner.

Thinking of this, Rosweisse felt a little comforted.

But the thought of how many hardships they would have to endure to revive Jello, and whether the remaining four could truly accomplish it, filled me with sadness.

Ekaterina saw through Rosweisse's thoughts, sighed softly, walked to Rosweisse's side, and gently patted Rosweisse's shoulder. "Rosweisse, you don't need to be too sad."

"Think about it, what are the skill levels of Ronald, Benson, Muse, Karthus?"

"They were all seasoned veterans. If they hadn't been betrayed by those two traitors, Eileen Aili, they wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state."

"We kept losing not because we weren't strong enough, but because there was a traitor within our ranks."

"Now that the traitor has been eliminated, we will all do everything in our power to revive Jello, and the operations from now on will definitely go smoothly."

Rosweisse felt a little better. Yes, although there were only four people left, each of them was very strong, especially Ekaterina, whose level seemed to have increased recently.

"But, now that we've driven Eileen out, what if she tells Qin Chu about our plan..." Rosweisse was still a little worried.

"There's no need to worry about that." Ekaterina shook her head. "Although Eileen betrayed us, her goal is still the same as ours. She just wants to have Jello all to herself."

"Telling Qin Chu about our plan will do her no good at all."

Ekaterina's gaze shifted to the other two beside her. "Rosweisse, Athena, Sylph..."

"Aili and Eileen betrayed us because they wanted to possess Jello exclusively. They wanted to eliminate everyone around Jello, leaving only herself..."

"I don't want anyone like that in our team, so I suggest the four of us swear an oath in the name of the Goddess of Holy Light that we will never have any thoughts of monopolizing Jello. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the group varied.

Ekaterina didn't care about all that. "I'll go first... In the name of the Goddess of Holy Light, I, Ekaterina, have no intention of monopolizing Brother Jello. If I break this oath, I am willing to bear the judgment of the gods."

Pshaw, what's with all this Jello? She doesn't care at all. Whatever you do is none of my business.

All I need is an owner.

Athena sighed softly, "Then I'll do it too..."

Anyway, after learning some of the truth, her feelings for Jello gradually faded and weren't as intense as before. Besides, Jello could no longer be resurrected.

Now, all she wants to do is find out the whole truth, especially why Jello saved her and chose her to be a member of the Hero's Party.

She wouldn't even want to be here if it weren't for her master's request.

Sylph also extended her finger. "I swear in the name of the Goddess of Holy Light..."

Sylph only wanted to survive and get rid of the strange threads in her body as soon as possible; she didn't have much time to care about anything else.

Qin Chu arranged for us to come here today.

However, she was still quite pleased to have driven Eileen away and to know that Aili was dead.

Only Rosweisse was somewhat unwilling.

She genuinely didn't want to share Jello with other women; her Jello could only be hers, and no one else could have him. But now there were only four of them left, and if these four couldn't unite, then Jello might truly be unable to be resurrected.

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Rosweisse finally took her oath.

Ekaterina smiled and said, "Now we're all good sisters, and we'll face anything together."

"Moreover, although we lost Muse this time, it wasn't a complete loss; at least we obtained the first fragment of Jello's Soul Fragment."

Upon hearing this, Rosweisse was immediately invigorated.

Yes.

They had finally taken a small step... a small step, but a giant leap toward reviving Jello.

At least, they have seen hope.

Jello's Soul Fragment were still in Sylph's possession. Sylph had no intention of keeping them herself, but instead handed Soul Fragment over to Rosweisse.

The sight of Rosweisse holding the shards, her little hands trembling with excitement, even evoked a pang of pity Athena.

This poor woman had no idea that even if she managed to gather ten or eight fragments, let alone just one, Jello would never reappear before her.

Rather, it was simply a demon.

"Sylph, don't you care about yourself?" Rosweisse's voice trembled slightly.

"No need." Sylph waved her hand casually. "I still have to keep my promise to Qin Chu as his maid, so it's not very convenient for me. It's safer to leave him with you."

Sylph must be worried that Qin Chu will notice something; she's so observant.

Moreover, the fact that she gave the Soul Fragment to herself instead of to Ekaterina or Athena pleased Rosweisse even more; Sylph was indeed her good sister.

Trust her, you won't go wrong.

"However, we still have a long way to go on the road to reviving little brother Jello," Ekaterina poured cold water on the excitement of Rosweisse.

The burning passion in Rosweisse's heart gradually subsided.

Although Ekaterina was tactless, she was right. Now was not the time to be excited. They had only found one fragment; they didn't know how many fragments there were or where they were.

Moreover, the Resurrection Spell requires a large amount of materials to prepare...

Although the four sisters worked together, they still didn't have enough manpower.

"Sigh, we still don't have enough people." Ekaterina sighed, and deliberately said, "Rosweisse, it all depends on you now. You are a saintess of the Holy Church, and you can command some people under your command. All the investigations and such will have to be done by you."

Sure enough, I am still the core of this team.

"Indeed, knowing where the fragments are, we can retrieve them, but investigating them is far too difficult." Athena nodded in agreement. "In this respect, Rosweisse can do a better job than all of us combined."

Even the proud elves complimented Rosweisse.

With each compliment bestowed upon her, Rosweisse couldn't help but feel a little smug.

It seems that the number of members in the Hero's Party has dwindled, and these proud women have finally realized their importance.

Sure enough, even if Lord Jello is resurrected in the future, his own contribution will be the greatest.

"Oh, what a pity."

"Rosweisse is just a saint."

"Moreover, he was implicated in the Karthus affair some time ago, and his influence within the Holy Church is not as great as before."

"Even if there are still vassals, I'm afraid there won't be as many as before... If only Rosweisse were the Pope, she could command the entire Church to help us investigate." Ekaterina fully displayed her carefree personality.

He speaks without thinking at all.

But these words stirred something within Rosweisse.

That's right. If I were truly the Pope of the Holy Church, everyone in the Holy Church would obey my orders, and the difficulty of investigating anything or finding any materials would be greatly reduced.

In fact, even without these three sisters, it wouldn't be a problem at all; the Holy Church alone would be enough to solve all the issues.

Unfortunately, that old man Augustus remained seated in that position, showing no sign of stepping down, and worst of all, he was in excellent health...

Of course, some of these thoughts were just that—thoughts. Rosweisse knew just how strong Augustus was. She estimated that even if the four of them combined, along with Douglas and the entire Inquisition, they probably wouldn't be a match for Augustus.

The difference between level 90 and level 80 is simply too great.

Thinking of this, Rosweisse suppressed her impulse and forced a smile, "Sister Ekaterina, don't talk nonsense, this is a power grab."

"If His Highness Augustus heard this, he would be displeased."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Ekaterina curled her lip in disdain. "So what if he hears it? What can he do to me? I've been fed up with that old man for a long time."

"Speaking of which, isn't that old guy still setting up the Eye of True Vision in your boudoir? Our previous failures might have been partly his doing..."

"If you ask me, you should just find a way to seize the papacy from Augustus and become pope yourself."

"Don't worry, whatever you do, we best sisters will support you. After all, this is all for the sake of reviving Jello." Ekaterina pounded her chest and shouted.
