Chapter 279: The Game

"Alright, alright, let’s talk about this later…" Ricardo tried to smooth things over again, "About the investigation of this incident, the church has already sent someone. Although they can’t go to the Forbidden Sea, they can still find out some details."

"In handling this matter, Bishop Celica definitely has some issues, but she can’t be blamed entirely…"

"I will file a complaint against her!" the Supervisor huffed.

"Hurry up and go." Celica waved her hand dismissively like swatting away a fly.

"Ahem… Now let’s talk about Neymar and Sophia." Ricardo brought up this topic, fearing the two would start arguing again.

"Isn’t it just following the rules?" Celica said, "It’s just a matter of having one more observer. It’s very simple. In the past, there were also cases where someone observed."

"It’s taking too long!" Ricardo frowned and said, "If we follow the process completely, when will we be able to start? Who knows what problems might come up in the middle."

"We need to invite all the True God Churches, and we have to contact the headquarters. They are scattered all over the world, and the Magic Stone alone can’t reach that far unless we use a relay method."

"But this formal invitation for observation must be initiated by the church headquarters, which means we can only use the invitation letter format."

"It really is taking too long…" The Supervisor nodded and said, "We need to streamline this."

"Ha, are you out of your mind?" Celica looked at the Supervisor in shock, "Why is it that my small mistake is breaking the rules, but you all seem to get away with everything?"

The Supervisor and Ricardo exchanged glances.

We are all working for the good of the church. You let the church’s enemies go and also released the Black Pearl. How can that be the same?

This is a classic example: if one sneaks good things from abroad, such as foreign research materials, it’s definitely illegal, but everyone in the country would protect him.

You did many good and right things abroad, but they did not help back home, which will lead some people to judge you.

The supervisor and Ricardo were very suspicious; Celica did not see herself as part of the church. How did she pass the faith test?

It is clear that Celica believes in the Aurora Goddess and strictly follows the absolute teachings set by her, but she is not a qualified cardinal.

This might not be very clear; it’s like someone believing in an ideology they pursue but not liking the officials or even the country that carries it out.

To the players, Celica is a good person because she often helps Ideal Homeland out of personal loyalty.

The things happening to her show that she handles many issues from her own viewpoint, not the church’s viewpoint.

From the perspective of Bullet Comment and Karoso, Celica is definitely a good person.

However, in the eyes of the church, she is seen as an outsider, even a bad person.

"Ahem, we can discuss this matter alone," Ricardo said with a wry smile. "You should go rest now."

"Cut." Celica stood up and left the office.

After Celica left, Ricardo sighed, "It seems I need help. Just by myself, and even using the whole strength of the Pande Empire Church, I can’t manipulate the evaluation…"

"Not only that, but it is also a bit difficult for us to secretly evaluate first; Master Norma’s power is too strong, and we cannot hide a secret evaluation from her eyes."

"Otherwise, if we had the chance to secretly evaluate, we could see which church’s god it is. Dismissing the True God Church would also be a way to solve the problem."

"If we can’t do either of those, and if she truly becomes a god walking among humans, it would be very bad for our church…"

With a god stationed at the True God Church, that church’s rise would be incredibly fast.

This is different from the game story; in the game, the plot unfolds because it is already chaotic, and multiple gods are just multiple ninth-tier beings, and Karoso isn’t afraid of Neymar.

In a time of peace, with multiple gods at the True God Church and a powerful nation like Presea backing them, it would only lead to a three-way win.

"Hmm…" The Supervisor tapped on the table. "Unfortunately, that Neymar is just too noticeable right now, and with Master Norma watching… Damn it, if we make a move in the City of Freedom or on the way…"

"We cannot blame Bishop Celica; at that time, Neymar was at the center of the storm, while Null and 『』 were in the City of Freedom, along with the armies from Canglang Province and the Presea Empire. As soon as the City of Freedom Incident ended, Merlin arrived, and there was not much opportunity at sea."

"Forget about assigning blame for now; let’s find a way to solve the problem," the Supervisor said with a smile. "They have ninth-tier powers, but don’t we? It’s time to show the world the true strength of the church."

"Even if Master Norma is watching, we can still make our move!"

"This Neymar is destined to be possessed by an evil god!"

……

The focus returned to Karoso.

At this time, Karoso had already finished discussing the three cards with Guildmaster Delandus.

Delandus was actually just trying to confirm his suspicions; he asked what they wanted to do, and only he knew the answer.

After that, it was time for Norma and Karoso to talk about the Forbidden Sea.

Norma is not very interested in political matters; otherwise, she wouldn’t have reached her current level.

"Hmm… What an interesting journey," Norma said with a thoughtful expression. "The pirates of that time, the gods battling each other, it really makes one long for that era… If I had lived in that time, I wonder if I would have had the ability to become a Level Nine."

"The wizards of that time had amazing knowledge; they could easily set up magic circles."

"To improve, one doesn’t need to understand nature; just drinking the right Magic Potion is enough. The Magic Potions also contain a lot of knowledge, saving a lot of learning time."

"But they can more easily turn into monsters, their power is limited, and they cannot use followers," Karoso said. "We all have our own weaknesses and strengths, and I personally feel that our way of training is safer. That’s a good thing."

"From a safety perspective, it really is a good thing…" Norma’s gaze focused on Karoso. "But Captain Tige dared to challenge the gods, wanting to cross that border which humans cannot. That is what I long for… Ever since the Card God Domain appeared, there haven’t been any new gods."

"Even those two children with divine power can’t be considered new gods; your sister only inherited a tiny bit of power and legacy."

"Hmm…" Karoso nodded. "I leave my sister in the care of Master Norma."

"Don’t worry," Master Norma smiled slightly. "I will do what I promised."

"But… it seems we are not enough on our own. Never underestimate the Church of the Dawn Goddess; standing at the top of the continent is not an easy feat," Delandus said seriously.

Karoso did not speak.

Whether the world is chaotic or not depends on the netizens.

Soon, we will make the church so busy that they won’t have a chance to act!
