Volume 1 Chapter 636

Chapter 636: The Great Purge! Here It Comes!

Kanor left the Death Divine Kingdom with her mentor Trish Diana’s necklace and the unconscious Lalea.

However, Kanor was very sure that the Bennett clan’s mansion was probably under the control of The Church of Light at that moment.

So she also asked Kululu to open the door in a secret corner of the Holy Capital.

After stepping outside, Kanor held Lalea and sighed.

"Things are getting bigger and bigger… Is this fate?"

She pressed her head, feeling waves of headache.

Although she behaved confidently in the Death Divine Kingdom, it was still challenging to understand the power of death or to separate it from the soul that had merged with her own.

But for Kanor, no matter how much of a genius she was…

It was still a very difficult task.

After all, it involved a level of power that could interfere with the gods.

Moreover, facing Trish Diana…

No matter how much Kanor tried to act tough, Trish was still very friendly.

Just the pressure of the god’s rank was enough to tire Kanor out.

Plus, everything she had just learned…

The End of Days, the evil god, Master Lolth, pollution, the power of death, the previous hero and the Demon King, Kululu…

Everything, even Lolth had become serious.

Kanor also felt that things were a bit more troublesome than usual.

"Anyway, I still need to get a little stronger…"

In a narrow alley,

she placed Lalea on the ground and slowly crouched down against the wall.

"Whether it’s gods or the End of Days, nothing of that level will happen with The Church of Light right now,"

"However, the impact of the ‘aftershock’ will completely muddy the waters… It’s even better than I initially expected."

"Most importantly… Although Master Lolth is laid-back, she will definitely take action in a situation like this."

Kanor murmured, her eyes sparkling with… excitement.

Even though she felt that things were very troublesome and she felt headache and helplessness…

But unlike her dear master, Kanor was never one to shy away from trouble.

"Even though it’s troublesome, things are getting more and more interesting!"

As she said this, Lalea suddenly gasped for breath beside her.

"Ha—"

Lalea, who had just woken up from a faint, jumped up, her magic swirling around her.

"Darn it, did someone ambush me?!"

She looked around, drew out her magic wand, but found that the surroundings and magic environment had changed greatly.

However, seeing Kanor squatting on the ground next to her, Lalea breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s you… Look, is the crisis over?"

"I guess you could say that," Kanor tucked away the excitement she had just shown and looked up at the sky, "but the real show is just beginning."

In the dim night sky, towards the center of the Holy Capital, the Holy Light and fire danced together, sending waves of uneasy magical energy.

The heart of The Church of Light, which had been peaceful for thousands of years…

After tonight, there will be no more peace.

And just as Kanor expected…

It is a sleepless night.

In the Bennett family manor, filled with imperial nobles and the church’s elite at a private gathering, two dark gods have sparked a conflict.

The legendary Duke Bennett, several epic-level figures, and a double-digit number of lives became sacrifices.

The "Holy Maiden" almost faced trouble, and the entire manor was turned to rubble…

This matter was enough to make even the sleeping Pope furious!

Before the important figures in the Privy Bishop, the three Grand Knight groups, or others within the Holy Capital spoke out.

The Heretic Tribunal also acted quickly.

Under the reason of "maintaining the church’s authority," they blocked the entire Holy Capital.

At the same time, they started to arrest many important figures indiscriminately and without reason, claiming it was to investigate "traitors."

In just one night, the legends and epics captured by the Heretic Tribunal were more than those who had died!

The "director," who had just appeared not long ago, personally took action four times in one night!

The dungeons of the Heretic Tribunal were already filled with former colleagues.

At sunrise, Lolth returned to her dwelling in the Holy Capital.

Dorothy and Patricia were sound asleep, and Lolth let out a long sigh.

"Thanks to the ambitious director of the Heretic Tribunal and their tireless efforts over the past ten years, each mid-level bishop and Paladin’s misconduct has been clearly documented."

Every person that Lolth ordered to be captured could be said to deserve their fate.

Allowing one’s children and friends to act harshly, harm colleagues, deceive believers, accept bribes from nobles, misuse the Holy Light… even colluding with other groups.

This was the "surprise" she discovered after opening the Heretic Tribunal’s files.

In that moment, Lolth finally understood what true "corruption" really meant!

From top to bottom, at least one-third of the Church of Light clergy and holy Litov officials could be described as deserving harsh punishment.

Indeed, the people of the Holy Empire and the Church of Light are rarely threatened by monsters, and most can have enough to eat and wear warm…

But this does not mean they are free from unfair treatment and oppression.

"Faith" is the price they have already paid.

But besides that…

The truth is, most people are like pigs, having no rights beyond eating and drinking.

If a priest wants to build a luxurious home, he tricks the people into doing hard work to repair the church.

If a noble runs over someone with a carriage or even kills on purpose, although they might pretend to apologize and offer compensation compared to nobles in other countries… they still do not have to follow church rules and go to jail, nor do they delay their drinking and enjoying life.

Even when they reach the high ranks and enter the Holy Capital, they seem clean.

But their past has already brought mistakes, and their children, relatives, and friends also share the same faults.

In fact, one-third of them caused harm to the faithful directly or indirectly because of their mistakes, love for pleasure, and struggles for power.

The remaining two-thirds are mostly caught in serious crimes they cannot escape, at the very least facing negligence or failing to report what they know.

After actually seeing these "actions," Lolth’s previously hesitant attitude completely changed.

In a way, she even felt a deep understanding for the unlucky former director she had captured.

Although he was greedy for power and used extreme methods, at least his beliefs and convictions were not wrong.

The Church of Light truly needs some guys like him, who are ruthless and will stop at nothing.

However.

Lolth knew she could do better.

After all, she didn’t even have to worry about her faith in the Holy Light.

Moreover, she was much smarter than that unfortunate director.
