"Yes, Aura."
Lu Ze had no intention of hiding it. After giving Dr. Lawrence, who was restrained behind Metagross, an annoyed glance, he looked at Steven.
"We lost them. What do we do next?"
Lu Ze had truly never dealt with something like this before.
Even the world he came from had a Church.
But all he had to do was destroy the Church's bases and stop the Church's operations.

After taking several deep breaths, Lu Ze
