Chapter 529: The Enemy of Dawn

Church of the Dawn Goddess, Prophecy Hall.

"Haven’t you found out yet?" The Pope could no longer contain his anger.

He really wanted to put aside the matters here in Karoso and investigate what was happening.

Last time, the Church of the Dawn Goddess did not use Light Momentum, which caused their reputation to fall sharply, and he took the opportunity to eliminate many pests.

Who would have thought that, after such a severe crackdown, there would still be so many that got away?

Well, it’s truly hard to question the Pope’s abilities; after all, even in modern times, it’s difficult to catch everyone.

Moreover, Karoso has the best intelligence organization.

For the church, it was a thunderous blow, but for netizens, it was just a few small tasks, all compiled by the story enthusiasts.

"I can’t find anything." The prophet’s hair had thinned after he pulled it out himself.

"He has already used the power of dawn, and still can’t find anything?" It was rare for the usually good-natured pope to raise his voice.

"This is too strange; when he used the power of rules, there was absolutely no sign of magic energy. This isn’t magic." The prophet never expected this situation.

It is common knowledge that using rules requires using magic energy at the same time.

Karoso’s magic energy fluctuations are very unique and quite easy to pinpoint.

The problem is, when Karoso used the rules, he did not use magic energy at all, which is very uncharacteristic of magic.

Clearly, Karoso completely broke this common knowledge; unless one deliberately practices this, it is hard to achieve.

It’s like playing billiards; normal people are used to using their dominant hand, and using the other hand feels awkward and stiff.

Before Karoso was in Acheron, there was no such thing as magic; everything was based on rules, so it was easy to separate them, something no one could have imagined and no one can do now.

"Check, hurry and check!" the Pope said softly, "Five days. If there is no result, I will return to the Church of Dawn Goddess."

"Your Holiness, please calm down," Ivan Tran from the Yggdrasil Empire patted the Pope’s back.

"Yes, anger is bad for your health," Hercules said. "Right now, Karoso is the key."

The three top-tier ninth ranks, Berdace, Diefu, and Stan Eichler, could not join in on the conversation at all.

"Karoso, Karoso…" The Pope looked pained.

Who exactly is this little boy?

The Church of Dawn Goddess might face a great disaster because of him.

In the past, whenever the church had a problem, it could be easily solved.

But now, the Church of Wisdom God and the Flame War God Church are secretly causing trouble, which makes things very difficult.

The proper name of the Church of Wisdom God is closely linked to Karoso; it was Karoso who brought Neymar there in the beginning.

If Neymar hadn’t become the god of this world, the Church of Wisdom God wouldn’t have expanded so quickly.

Then there’s the Ricardo incident, where Karoso became a divine messenger and was possessed by the Flame War God, which also caused the Flame War God to grow rapidly.

It was in that battle that the Church of Dawn Goddess did not use Light Momentum, leading to everything that happened afterward.

Also, those revolutionary armies clearly rejected the goodwill of the Church of Dawn Goddess.

The Church hadn’t even put pressure on them, and they already had problems themselves.

These revolutionary armies have many connections with Karoso.

The starting point of everything… just as the Pope was beginning to wonder if Karoso was the Church’s nemesis, a faint voice echoed in his mind.

Isn’t everything because the church itself is not pure?

"Who?" The pope turned around quickly but found no one was speaking to him.

"What’s wrong?" Ivan Tran frowned slightly. "Don’t tell me Karoso has invaded."

"He can’t…" The pope suddenly cried tears of sadness. "I seem to hear the voice of my Lord."

Then, the pope was in shock.

Lord, what did He say to me?

……

Church of the Dawn Goddess, the Judgment Hall.

"I ask, what law have I broken?" Celica frowned, looking at her handcuffs and those high-ranking people.

"Why did you talk to that reporter about how there are no evil people in the Church of Dawn Goddess? Nothing is ever certain." The chief judge stared hard at Celica, "Now that the Church of Dawn Goddess has a bad reputation, many people are starting to lose trust in the church. Do you know what that means?"

"It has nothing to do with me!"

Bang!

Celica pulled her hands apart, and the handcuffs broke into two pieces.

The chief judge’s pupils narrowed; this was a ninth-level extraordinary item, and normally, no one could break free from it.

Wait, this thing is used to lock up people whose faith is not pure. It is a special weapon of the Church of Dawn Goddess. The more pure a person’s faith in the Dawn, the less effective this item becomes.

However, this is the first time the chief judge has seen someone break free so easily.

"Am I saying something wrong?" Celica stood up and pointed at the people in the judgment seat, "Didn’t you say that after the self-inspection, there are no non-believers among you? How are you running things? When I was a Cardinal, my people didn’t have so many problems!"

The other jurors were speechless.

So, didn’t you notice that you have been targeted all along?

If it weren’t for your impressive fighting skills and great achievements, who could put you in that position?

To be a follower under you, they must have pure faith; otherwise, the death rate is too high, and who would want to go?

Indeed, you did what was expected, but the death rate in your country is as high as four others combined.

Besides, there’s not much reward under your command; if someone gets caught, they are quickly put on the fire stake, even the elder’s son has been put on the stake.

If it weren’t for your status as a peak eighth-tier leader, you would have lost your magic and been sent to a brothel long ago.

As for the Kingdom of Persia, where Celica is, it has the most believers of the goddess; most of the materials used by other churches for promotion are about Celica destroying various cult hideouts, and when Celica had real power, the church was in a better environment and had higher reputation; these facts are conveniently ignored.

More people blame: Karoso did it.

"In short, given your status, you should not be saying these things; nothing is absolute. By making such statements without your own investigation, you are being irresponsible to the church," the chief judge continued.

"Um…" Celica frowned slightly and thought carefully.

Indeed, why did I believe the findings of these fools? It was my mistake.

"I admit it." Celica nodded calmly.

"And about Aurora Glory, why did you share that with the public? The Karoso incident changed opinions, making people doubt that Karoso was a cultist, and that was also your doing," the chief judge said.

"Is he a cultist?" Celica tilted her head.

"He used the power of the Lord of Eternity!"

"So, is he a cultist?"

"This… seems like it is not."

Bang!

Celica slammed the table, "Why are you spreading rumors? I admit my mistake and will accept the punishment. If someone is spreading lies, go to them, don’t blame me for everything!"
