After the priestess finished speaking, Blake nodded with satisfaction.

"As His loyal subjects, we will not remain silent; we will retaliate against those who slander and harm the divine. Let us not forget what the Lord of Destruction has done to the benevolent Him!"

"We will never forget that tragic day," Blake said sadly, as the priestess kindly handed him a tissue.

Thank you...

Bang!

The church doors were pushed open forcefully, and patrolling knights in silver helmets rushed in.

" My Chair, His Prophecy has descended once again!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is it another puppet from that Club?" the priestess asked.

"This is different! This time, they've sent... uh, a representative of some merchant guild acting as a ferryman!"

"Still alive?"

"This... this can't possibly be dead?"

Boulder Town

Sampo led the four of them on a search for traces of the Wildfire, and they witnessed Bronya being surrounded by wanderers, with Seele appearing to save the day.

"Let go of that girl!"

Xing pulled out a baseball bat, ready to rush up and teach the homeless a lesson.

"Hey, my dear sister, let's not be so reckless..." Sampo pulled Xing back, "With Miss Seele here, how can the Silvermane Guards be bullied?"

" Seele, are you referring to the purple-haired girl next to her?"

"That's right, Miss Seele is amazing. Dealing with a few wanderers is a piece of cake for her!" Sampo praised Seele.

"A cowardly scoundrel who bullies the weak and fears the strong..."

Watching the homeless man flee in panic, Seele snorted coldly.

"Phew~ Luckily, Miss Seele intervened in time, I'm extremely grateful~ These wanderers are really arrogant, daring to start a fight on [ Wildfire ]'s territory." Sampo walked up with a smile.

" Shut Up, Sampo, you're involved in this too." Seele shifted her gaze to Bronya. "I heard from Nat that a Silvermane Guards ran off to the Underworld... was that you?"

Bronya remained unfazed and retorted, "What are you planning to do by kidnapping me and bringing me underground?"

"Hmph, she thinks she's some kind of pampered young lady. She's having a good time on the ground, isn't she? Do you even know what the underground is like? Have you considered the lives of those on the lower levels?"

" The Silvermane Guards don't just sit comfortably on the ground! Silvermane Guards 're constantly fighting enemies, defending Belobog from monsters... protecting everyone above and below ground."

"You talk a good game, but what have you actually protected underground? You deployed all the Silvermane Guards up there, blocked all the passageways, and all that's supposed to be protecting the so-called ' Architects '?"

Watching the two arguing, March 7th murmured, "They're arguing so fiercely..."

Turning around, I saw Ye Yan and Xing watching with great interest.

Xing was almost ready to take out her phone to record this exciting scene; she loved watching girls argue.

Ye Yan gleaned a sense of Elation from the thought that Seele would soon be talking about Bronya all the time.

"Anyway, you're coming with me. Chief Oleg wants to see you; he seems to have a lot of questions to ask."

"What a coincidence, Seele! We also have something to discuss with the Chief! How about we travel together?" Sampo suggested.

"Who wants to team up with you... who are these people?"

Seele sized up Ye Yan and his group of four. "I vaguely remember you. You were the guys who were with Hook this morning."

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Lord Pitch-Dark Hook the Great... It seems I haven't introduced myself to Seele yet."

Just as Ye Yan was about to introduce himself, Xing spoke first, "Hello, I'm Xing, a distinguished guest of Chief Oleg... and a friend of that bastard Sampo."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?" Seele didn't turn around.

Bronya gave Seele a brief, normal self-introduction, but when Ye Yan said he was the [ Eternity ] Walker, Bronya's expression clearly changed.

"As expected, you are from [ Eternity ] Yite..."

Sampo quickly changed the subject, his voice booming over Bronya's. "Haha, it's like this, these are the talents that Chief Oleg urgently needs, and I was just about to take them to meet him."

The more you explain, the more likely you are to intensify Bronya's suspicions.

This Stellaron is quite intelligent. This trick used to work before, and it might have even attracted Ye Yan over.

That won't work now... You wouldn't believe it, would you? The biggest flaw of the [ Eternity ] Aeon is Himself.

Seele frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Why are these people all speaking a language she can't understand? Is the cultural difference between the upper Underworld really that big?

"Anyway, [ Wildfire ] has run into some trouble in the Great Mine, and the boss is busy dealing with it. If you really want to see him, come find me at the entrance to the mining area."

"They're gone."

After Seele left, Bronya seemed to realize her earlier lapse in composure and apologized to the others.

"I am acting on the orders of the Supreme Guardian to arrest you, that remains unchanged. However, considering your position, my remarks just now were tantamount to publicly insulting the Supreme Guardian in front of me... I apologize."

Suddenly finding herself in an unfamiliar environment, Bronya hadn't expected the Underworld to turn out like this.

"Everyone says we're not His followers, this one is."

On March 7th, Ye Yan was pushed out. Being misunderstood is not a good feeling. I don't know what the relationship is between the [ Eternity ] Aeon and the [ Trailblaze ] Aeon.

"Is that so...?"

Seeing Bronya turn around and apologize to Ye Yan again, he smiled.

This child is so honest. If Akivili were still alive, he would probably laugh out loud upon hearing these words.

Yes, this is no different from bragging to his face.

Anyone would be angry if their own followers were mistaken for someone else's, except for the kind-hearted Akivili.

Bronya got back to the point. "But I'm not your friend... I heard from Gepard that you are guests from beyond the heavens, like those various Interstellar Traveler in ancient legends, carrying the will of the Aeon."

"Now it seems you do indeed possess incredible power..."

In the alleyway, a split second before Bronya lost consciousness, she saw Xing and the others standing there unharmed, which confirmed her suspicions.

"Ah, thinking about it that way, it's a bit contradictory. We're clearly from the [ Trailblaze ], but in the crucial moment, it's [ Eternity ] that saves us."

Suddenly, on March 7th, a thought struck him, and his gaze shifted to Ye Yan.

"There's no conflict; we're all one family in the Eternity Trailblaze," Ye Yan said.

Dan Heng pondered. The best way to prove this statement was to go to the Church of Eternity and see their attitude... that would definitely reveal the relationship between the two Aeon.

They spit on anything that is [ Destruction ], even when they pass by.

When it comes to " Elation," they'll play pranks on each other—the kind where you punch me and I'll stab you in return.

Regarding [ Nihility ]... did they really encounter anyone connected to IX?

It should be very friendly to [ Trailblaze ].

" Gepard said you want to help us stop the Eternal Freeze and the Fragmentum from harming this planet... Thank you for your help last night, giving the front lines of the Forbidden Zone a brief respite."

Bronya looked at Ye Yan, her eyes filled with an indescribable complexity.

"I did my bit of help; there's nothing to thank me for."

"Huh? Did something happen last night?"
