Volume 1 Chapter 579

Chapter 579: Alright, Just Missing My ID Number Now

In an instant, Lolth suddenly understood many things.

For example…

Why the brave hero Trish Diana had gone straight into the Abyss and headed for the Succubus clan’s territory.

And why the brave hero Trish Diana, as a human hero, was so obsessed with a long life.

Also, when she met Ms. Yelixi in the territory… why she mistook her for someone else.

Because it was all caused by her troublesome sister!

She even remembered the strange succubus that had appeared in the play she saw at The Church of Light…

Even though it recorded events from ten thousand years ago, who knows…

Could it be that Xiletor had secretly changed it after she arrived?

Even Xiletor’s turtle, who hadn’t been home for many years, had finally figured out what she was searching for.

The brave Trish Diana from back then had not been truly confirmed as "dead."

No one had confirmed that she had died.

It was just her descendants who had returned to the mainland plane and started from scratch to build the Golden Peacock Kingdom.

So…

"That turtle is running all over the world and all dimensions because its mother is looking for the hero she once let down…"

No wonder, when she mentioned Maria Diana, she looked both shy and serious.

This meant she wanted her sister to help her clean up her mess!

Thinking about this made Lolth very angry.

She really wanted to grab Xiletor by the collar and give her a big slap.

"Why did you poke the brave warrior, you silly turtle?!"

A deep succubus, yet she had entangled herself with a destined hero from the mainland…

She even got mixed up with the team fighting the Demon Army and the Demon King, pretending to be a "Sword Master."

Lolth just didn’t want to say anything anymore!

The most important thing is…

Everything else is fine.

But what should she do now about facing Dorothy!

Looking at the little girl, Dorothy also seemed to have just processed this confusing information.

She looked at Lolth, but…

Lolth noticed the many complicated emotions in Dorothy’s eyes, but they only flashed for a moment.

Those feelings of surprise, shock, and worry indeed grew in the girl’s eyes.

But they did not last.

After that, what replaced them was determination and love.

"Teacher… no matter what, I will not waver."

She said this and gently placed her hand over her heart.

Then…

It was as if she confirmed something, and she spoke again.

"So, teacher… don’t even think about making excuses to avoid payment!"

Lolth listened to Dorothy and let out a gentle sigh.

That’s true…

She suddenly remembered.

I am a succubus!

So what if succubi are a little confused about these things?

Most of my family probably won’t say anything!

My older sister might not say anything either!

The opinions of others are even less important…

As for Dorothy’s family…

Can she really expect Maria Diana to bless her with everything that happened with Dorothy?

What a joke! That woman would be happy just to avoid tearing her apart.

Oh…

Wait, I am her elder!

I wonder if I can use this to put some pressure on her.

Just then, while Lolth was lost in her thoughts…

Patricia behind her also let out a heavy sigh.

"So, does that mean my teacher adopted me as a kind of trust?"

She shook her head and looked at Lolth and Dorothy.

"Just discovering a tragic background and then having to be tormented by these two turtle eggs, I guess I am truly a descendant of the ‘Mist Witch’. It’s like my ancestors committed sins and the descendants have to pay for them."

Clearly, the name Yelixi Flavesima was not unfamiliar to her.

Even for most powers on the continent, her existence was minimized as much as possible.

But after all, it is the Wizard Association.

Moreover, the Great Sage Morning Star fought alongside that witch back in the day.

It is not surprising that there are many records about her.

Only…

Patricia never imagined that she was actually her ancestor.

The Pope listened to Patricia and showed an apologetic expression.

"I am very sorry for the situation of Lady Yelixi Flavissima…"

"However, the actions taken against the ‘Witch Association’ and users of ‘Shadow Magic’ back then could not have been stopped by my teacher or the previous Holy Maiden."

"That was something unavoidable for the continent… a predetermined fate, which is the trend of the times."

As the Pope said this, he surprisingly lowered his head to Patricia.

Patricia heard this and simply shook her head gently.

She understood that what the Pope said was indeed true.

The cleansing of those ‘heretics’ was not really related to faith at all.

It was a complex conflict involving the Sotua Kingdom, The Church of Light, and even factions within those groups at that time.

In the end, everything was turned to ashes.

The warlocks active in the brilliant Sotua Kingdom completely vanished in the light that shone over the continent.

"This is not something you need to apologize for, and I can forgive."

She said this and sighed.

"After all, even though they are my ancestors, I understand that the Witch Association is not made up of good people."

"Maybe my ancestors were innocent… but in matters like this, there is no room to discuss whether the harmed person is innocent."

Patricia quickly understood.

Lolth also nodded gently.

"I have already met her… maybe I can take you to see your ancestors if you want."

Without waiting for Patricia to respond, she looked back at the Pope.

"Your Excellency, thank you for telling me this."

She spoke softly, then paused for a moment to gather her thoughts.

"So… may I ask what your purpose is in telling me this?"

"Could it be that you want to reorganize the hero team?"

"I am the Chief Consultant of the Demon Army, you know."

She no longer held back and spoke openly.

Upon hearing Lolth’s words, the Pope chuckled softly.

He shook his head.

"No… that’s not how it is. The continent and the abyss, as well as the other alternate planes, it is not up to us who will ultimately gain the ‘advantage’ and lead."

"This is a sacred covenant between the gods and cannot be interfered with."

"So, with my current position, I cannot gather any heroes."

"For someone like me, who is about to die and half-buried, it is also meaningless."

He lowered his eyes.

"I waited here for your arrival, just to… fulfill the promise my teacher gave me."

"And to confirm the Lord’s ‘command.’"

Hearing the Pope’s gentle words, Lolth felt confused again.

"Promise and… command?"

She noticed that the Pope did not use the word "oracle" or any other sacred terms.

Instead, he spoke of commands.

"Yes, the promise is because the Lady of Light, who was part of the brave team, taught me divine spells and was the teacher of the former Privy Bishop. I am like her disciple," the Pope said with a sigh, "and he commanded me…"

"If one day, I must pass on the last words of the seventy-first generation of Her Holiness to the families of friends from the alternate plane…"

"Naturally, that means you, Lord Lolth."

Lolth felt a slight stir upon hearing the ancient last words, which seemed to be meant for her sister.

"You may speak."

As she said this, the Pope nodded.

"My teacher told me…"

"Her Holiness wants to tell His Excellency, Arnold Elro."

"The past she wants to reclaim is at the edge of the upside-down sky, at the end of the strange and hidden light, in the place where even gods feel small, in the realm that has never faded away."

"I think this must be the last time she used the Great Prophecy at the end of her life, to glimpse the future or perhaps… the truth."

The Pope spoke softly, and Lolth paused for a moment.

"The edge of the upside-down sky, at the end of the strange and hidden light, in the place where even gods feel small, in the realm that has never faded away… is that right?"

She repeated it and then nodded.

"I will pass it on."

The Pope listened to Lolth’s words and gently shook his head.

"It may not be necessary to relay it, because although Her Holiness wants to tell Arnold Elro, my teacher’s instructions were…"

"Let me just tell her family."

"Of course, it is up to you how Lord Lolth will choose."

As the Pope said this, Lolth touched her nose.

She found it a bit hard to understand what the Pope meant.

But that’s how religious people talk, and Lolth could understand that.

It’s even more difficult to expect them to always reveal so much, just like they did before.

So, Lolth didn’t dwell on it too much.

"Okay, I will think about it carefully."

After answering like this, Lolth continued to ask questions.

"So… what is the ‘task’ that the God of Light gave you?"

Although Lolth was quite concerned about what her sister might have done, no matter how much she cared, it could not compare to the attention from the God of Light and the Pope regarding her own matters. To be honest, just the thought of the God of Light thinking about her made her feel all prickly all over.

She looked at the Pope, and the Pope looked at her. The old man’s drooping eyelids made a strong effort to open, as if recalling that "order," and he suddenly appeared lively. However, the old man still did not speak directly. He looked at Lolth and started to ask back, "Lord Lolth… what do you think about The Church of Light now?"

The Pope said this, and Lolth felt a bit uneasy listening to the question. What was this sudden feeling like they were having a serious talk about heroes with old friends? Even if they did not discuss the conversation content, this Pope was an old man who could pass away at any moment, and now he looked so lively. It made Lolth very scared. The question was so sensitive. What if her answer upset him and he got so excited that he… Whose fault would that be? The Pope passed away; before he died, a succubus was with him… Even if it wasn’t revealed, it could still be considered that she was the Director of the Heretic Tribunal… So, as the last Pope to meet him, Lolth also felt a lot of pressure.

Therefore, her answer was quite careful. "Um… I guess it’s okay?" When the Pope heard Lolth say this, he laughed. He shook his head. "Lord Lolth, you don’t need to be so polite with me… The current Church of Light is truly in a bad state; saying that is perfectly fine. No matter if it is the low level, middle level, or high level, faith has already been lost. Indeed, this is related to the fact that our Lord spends most of His time sleeping…" Hearing this, Lolth quickly interrupted him. "Wait, wait, wait… The God of Light is taking a deep sleep?" Lolth felt she had accidentally heard something very remarkable. And this Pope really dared to speak out!

He really didn’t see himself as an outsider; he dared to say things like this directly?

"Of course, this is also something the Lord entrusted to me that you need to know…"

The Pope of Light said seriously and earnestly.

"My master sleeps most of the time to explore the path upward and break free from the fate that has been set. He relies on his instinctive wisdom to keep the Divine Kingdom running."

Hearing this, Lolth felt a sense of relief.

Now, she was sure of one thing: her act of stealing the Holy Light power from the Land of Light was unlikely to be discovered.

After all, the God of Light was still in a deep sleep!

At the same time…

Lolth became even more confused.

Why would the God of Light inform her about something as simple as sleeping?

So, growing more curious, Lolth looked back at the Pope of Light.

"Please continue."

Lolth said, and the Pope nodded, continuing to tell the story from where he had been interrupted.

"Because our Lord is resting, the control over the Holy Light is not so strict."

"Furthermore, the Church of Light has existed for thousands of years, so signs of decay are somewhat inevitable."

"Although now, on the surface, there do not seem to be any sharp contradictions…"

"However, faction struggles and oppression of the faithful have become increasingly common."

"I wish to change all of this, but just maintaining the status quo has already consumed nearly my entire life’s energy."

At this point, the Pope sighed gently.

"Originally, I planned for this generation’s Lady of Light to succeed."

"But her skills are still too weak to win the people’s support…"

"However, it was just two years ago."

At this point, the Pope’s gaze was slightly commanding.

"The Lord gave me guidance after a long time… It was a message that I did not need to share, something meant only for me to know."

"The Lord told me…"

"You will bring enough change to The Church of Light to transform everything."

"You will nurture the one who can turn it all upside down, His messenger."

The Pope said this with a sense of excitement.

Lolth listened, feeling a bit confused.

"You can’t possibly… have mistaken me for someone else?"

She asked a little hesitantly.

"No, the Lord said it very clearly, didn’t He?"

Looking at the Pope’s confident expression, Lolth remembered past misunderstandings and decided to ask a few more questions.

"Are you sure? What exactly did your Lord say?"

The Pope looked at her and almost without thinking, spoke the words.

"The Lord said, ‘The succubus from the abyss will change the Church’s state of decline and corruption; the bloodline that once fought alongside the Lady of Light and was mistaken for a cursed race, will give rise to the purest leaders, bringing new hope to The Church of Light.’

‘You must wait here for that seemingly enemy succubus. She will come, guided to you!’"
