Lichtenstein Castle, the foundation level chapel. {Updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, with the most timely error correction content restoration. Due to caching reasons, it is recommended to browse the official website with a browser.}

A profound silence enveloped the massive cathedral, its towering height reaching several dozen meters. The antique stained-glass windows of the vaulted ceiling cast a kaleidoscope of mesmerizing and enigmatic light.

The priest, clad in a white robe and wearing a silver crown, stood alone before the altar. He looked solemn and sacred, his eyes tightly shut in a serious expression.

Afternoon sunlight, filtering through the clouds, cast its golden glow upon the people gathered in the cathedral, bathing everything in a warm radiance.

A solemn silence surrounded the priest, broken only by the gentle breeze that carried the low toll of the church bells.

The temple was now clean, and the remains of Caligula, the former lord of the castle and high priest, had been laid to rest outside the castle walls. Priests offered prayers for him.

The priest slowly raised his hand.

"Compassionate Goddess, please wash away the sorrow, pain, and confusion of the departed. Grant them peace, loosen their shackles, and lead them into the serene and bright heavenly kingdom, where they may enjoy happiness in their next life."

His voice was deep and resonant, echoing within the four walls of the church like a warm wave of power.

The words are filled with respect and mourning for the departed, but also carry comfort and blessings for the living.

After the priest's prayer ended, the worldly noise and commotion had subsided.

After a long time.

"Is this the power of magic"

The young master of the Canberra Kingdom's Merchant Guild couldn't help but raise his head, seeing the faint light feathers drifting over the tomb of Cardinal Caligula outside the window. He sighed with admiration.

When applying such incantations to the deceased, it liberates their souls and prevents powerful spirits from becoming vengeful wraiths. It also safeguards against malevolent necromancers enslaving or probing the memories of the departed.

As the investigation progressed rapidly and the detective not only changed the mechanics of the Shadow World but also vanished from the map, everyone realized that they had no clear objective that afternoon.

The pressure is now on the traitor's side.

Originally, betrayers had a full five days to find the witches and werewolves, but now that time has been drastically shortened to two days.

At the suggestion of the priest, they buried the body of Caligula's high priest first.

Although this is not the real world, as a projection of history, the Shadow World shows that there was indeed once such a great priest who sacrificed himself for human freedom. He should be buried in honor of his deeds.

Also, prevent any traitors within from obtaining key information from Cardinal Caligula's corpse before the Shadowfell begins.

So now in the great hall of the temple, people gathered together again, as they had at dawn.

but all fell silent.

No one knew what they could do next besides waiting for the traitor's turn.

The atmosphere is just not as oppressive as it was this morning.

How many hours are left until sunset

At that time, the blood lords of the two betrayers will awaken, and the betrayers will also be able to use the power of the blood race, posing a great threat to all challengers.

"Do you think the probability of the two betrayers being two members of the Resurrection Cult is high"

Suddenly, Lance, who was standing in a corner, spoke up.

It immediately caught everyone's attention.

Looking at his focused gaze, he seemed eager to hear other people's opinions.

There's a very high probability. You can directly assume that all those who have the motive to trigger natural disasters are members of the Resurrection Cult, and they are the particularly vicious kind.

The guild master's son answered with absolute certainty,

According to statistics from the South American Shadow World Association, 2% of challengers in shadow worlds who desire to bring about a global disaster are members of the Resurrection Cult.

His words caused a slight stir among the congregation in the sanctuary.

The heir to this big chamber of commerce actually knows a thing or two.

"That's how it is."

Ranch nodded slowly, glancing at Huberly with his head tilted. Their eyes met for a brief moment.

They even knew that the Resurrection Church was deliberately targeting them.

As expected, when they matched, a good number of the Resurrectors were also participating in the Shadow World at the same time.

Adding to Hubleyan's initial dual hints as an 【actress】, the probability derived from the Chamber of Commerce young master's statistics, which was originally 2%, could almost be raised to 9%.

"Sir Priest, do you believe in the goddess of fate"

Ranche then turned to the three divine personnel from the Northern Continent and posed a question.

This kind of jumpy questioning made the other challengers feel a little lost.

Although we can't know how long ago the deities vanished, becoming as integrated into the world's rules as if they were always there, and no one has ever seen them with their own eyes... They still exist in another way. They just can't interfere in the mortal world through ordinary physical means anymore. That's why we priests and priestesses can use divine arts. Our existence is proof of their presence.

The priest answered quite gently.

Often, regardless of who it is, if you ask them about the gods, they will answer patiently.

This is also precisely their duty and responsibility.

"That's it then."

Lanche nodded.

He had already learned about the divine arts and magic cards of the Divine Order from his time on the southern border of Nan Wantina. His understanding was similar to that of the priest from the northern continent.

After all, considering Lance's attributes, becoming a priest was the best option originally.

Occultism is a variation of magic that relies on and mobilizes the divine power left behind by deities, which constitutes the world.

Even without using its own magic as a source of power, divine arts can achieve miraculous effects.

Therefore, the strength of most pure divine arts depends on one's mental attributes and the degree of their faith.

But Landry, as a materialist, does not believe in God.

Even if he became a cleric, his level of faith wouldn't be high. The path of a cleric isn't suitable for him.

So he resolutely became another kind of most healing profession, a White Mage.

Although you can use the spells or magic cards of our priesthood regardless of which benevolent deity you worship, different deities grant unique bonuses. This all aligns with the ancient legends depicted in the mural pieced together from the thirty-two primordial tablets. Perhaps, in a distant past lost to time, gods once walked among mortals.

The enthusiastic executioner added,

"Amongst the temples of the North and South Continents today, the reason why there are so many priests and devotees who believe in the Goddess of Fate isn't because her additional effects are the strongest, but simply because there are the most people who sincerely wish to believe in this kind and benevolent deity."

> She has the most myths surrounding her, such as "The Goddess of Fate loves all creatures equally" and "She is the only deity who can still interfere with the mortal world." These kinds of sayings are still circulating today.

"There's even a legend that the power of the Goddess of Destiny lies in this: as long as you pray to her, she has the slight ability to interfere with your fate. The more devout and persistent your prayer, the more your heartfelt pleas will reach her."

Three priestesses of the Goddess of Fate took turns introducing themselves to Lance.

In this world, swearing to the gods is a very solemn matter. People believe that the gods will hear.

One should never speak rashly about oaths to any deity, regardless of whether they still exist or are capable of interfering in the world, as it could create unforeseen consequences.

This is also the reason why the Goddess of Fate Church and the Revival Church are mortal enemies.

"I understand, thank you three."

After listening, Lance simply politely thanked them and did not express any intention of joining the faith to the three enthusiastic clergymen. He turned his gaze back towards the congregation in the sanctuary.

No one knows what other thoughts he has.

Then, under the gaze of all eyes.

Let us all recite together, praising the goddess of fate! If I am a cult member, a wicked traitor, please lead my destiny towards the direction of the Church of Destruction and Rebirth!

Lanche raised his right hand, fist clenched, and in his clear voice proclaimed:

"..."

The challengers looked at Lanci with suspicion.

It didn't take long for people to start understanding what Ranch meant.

Although Lanchi's vows might not necessarily come true, after all, destiny is a rather enigmatic thing.

But, the Church of Resurrection has an unwritten rule—

If someone is entangled with the Goddess of Fate and Cause-and-Effect, it will be very difficult for them to advance to a higher position.

The most taboo thing in the Resurrection Church is the unseen interference of the Goddess of Fate.

This is like cutting off the path of revival for other people's disciples!
