Vivian said, "I originally thought what Harms mentioned was exaggerated, but if it involves such a Magic Array, then it might indeed be possible."

"How so?" Shen Sui slightly frowned, "Is there really a Sacrificial Array that can sacrifice the life of an entire world?"

"Trolof Alchemy Array," Vivian named the Magic Array engraved on the ship's bottom and continued, "It's a Magic Array that bypasses the principle of alchemy's equivalent exchange to obtain miraculous power by way of sacrificing life and blood. Rather than calling it an Alchemy Array, it's more like a curse."

Vivian casually tossed her luggage aside and flung herself onto the bed, "Alice's explosive potion, you should know how powerful it is by now, right?"

Shen Sui thought of Alice using her explosive potion to destroy half of the Demon Beast Forest and all her single-handed feats with this potion, and he nodded.

"The sacrificing method of this Trolof Alchemy Array is quite similar to the assimilation caused by the explosive potion. It can, through its medium, drag all living beings connected with that medium into the sacrificial range."

Shen Sui immediately understood Vivian's words. This so-called Alchemy Array could be seen as a perfect explosive potion without any limitations, except that its method of claiming lives wasn't through explosion, but sacrifice.

"Is there really such a Magic Array?"

"Of course there is. And someone has even used it on the Dawn Continent." Vivian rolled her eyes, "During the era of the Twilight of the Gods."

Shen Sui stroked his chin and recalled, "Why don't I feel like anything's happened?"

"There's no need for you to handle such small matters," Vivian bounced up to a sitting position, "Martina dealt with that guy all by herself. If you're worried about affecting the real world, you can have Martina block off this sea area first."

Shen Sui decided to comply.

After all, in terms of Magic Array expertise, Vivian far surpassed him.

Shen Sui originally intended to stay holed up in the room until the competition began, considering the other events on the cruise didn't attract him much.

However, Vivian showed great interest in the gourmet food on the ship, dragging Shen Sui towards the dining area excitedly.

"Qishala's cooking skills absolutely beat theirs," Shen Sui said helplessly, "Besides, Martina brings seafood home every day. Aren't you tired of it yet?"

"It's different, you know?" Vivian said seriously, tugging on Shen Sui's hand insistently.

According to Shen Sui's perception, although there were indeed many people on the ship, very few seemed active in the entertainment and leisure areas, which was quite unexpected to him. Most people appeared to remain in their rooms, without any intention of coming out. If Shen Sui couldn't sense their life force, he would have thought they were all corpses.

Shen Sui casually fiddled with the large lobster before him, watching Vivian's joyful expression as she ate, he didn't feel bored either. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

A prompt sound for obtaining a Life Card echoed.

He glanced down at the Dueling Device.

With the help of the Pope's authority and Catherine's assistance, Alice had already begun rapidly consolidating the power in Roland City. And it was at this moment that Harms' invitation "coincidentally" arrived.

As the most "steadfast" ally of the War God Church, Alice naturally took it upon herself to send someone to the scene to observe.

Though neither Shen Sui nor other members of the Thunder Church had ever heard of any good relations between Thunder and War God, since it was the decision of Pope Adoma, it had to be carried out. After all, just days ago, Alice had asserted her authority before all the archbishops and high priests, and the members of the Thunder Church wouldn't dare openly defy Alice's decisions.

Thus, the members of the Thunder Church who would attend the observation ceremony at the War God Temple were confirmed.

Of course, as the Pope of the Thunder Church, Alice surely wouldn't participate in this observation activity herself; she had other headaches to deal with, like drafting a declaration of war against the War God Church.

Once those elites sent to observe were taken out with a spectacular explosion by her puppet, the preconditions for the Thunder Church to declare war on the War God Church were met. Alice could justifiably issue a declaration of war, dragging the entire Roland Empire and the Thunder Church into the quagmire of war.

[Alice, while writing the declaration of war, was also learning various wartime strategies of the Dawn Continent.]

[Despite the Thunder Church being an ancient and deeply established Church of the Gods with a profound foundation, theoretically, it wouldn't be defeated by just one or two wars.]

[Therefore, Alice planned to personally lead this war, learning from the advanced experiences of countless military geniuses from past to present, and disseminating her command intent to every priest and soldier.]

[If necessary, she could even directly issue commands to the soldiers!]

[Alice noticed that many military geniuses who delivered themselves into disadvantage had similar faults.]

[However, Alice did not intend to bury the entire Thunder Church on the battlefield against the War God Church—it would be a colossal waste.]

[Extraordinaries, extraordinary weapons, magic materials, and countless other resources were valuable and should be sent to her own Dusk Army.]

Goodness.

Shen Sui, seeing Alice's various ideas, started to wonder if she would eventually develop into a master of logistics.
