[Alice didn't clearly see the outcome of the battle at that time, only knowing that Claude was seriously injured, and there was simply no time to check Bargas's condition.]

[Now, however, Aivia claims this is Lady of Daylight's speculation, something informed by a divine prophecy.]

[The prophecy from the gods is not something that can be issued casually.]

[If it hasn't been repeatedly verified, Daylight definitely wouldn't issue this information formally as a prophecy.]

[Oh my, could it be that the War God was mortally wounded in the battle with Claude?]

[If that's really the case...]

[Claude is amazing!]

Thank you for the compliment.

[Aivia continued, "Isn't this ceremony of the War God Church the best opportunity? We can verify the authenticity of War God Bargas on-site."]

["Whether it is the High Priest of the War God, the Pope of Daylight, or the Pope of Thunder, they all have to hold grand ceremonies, and invoke the attention of the gods during the ceremony to strengthen their legitimacy," said Aivia, "This is a necessary part of the ceremony, and by that time, Bargas will descend, and we can verify His existence on-site."]

["Huh? There's such a thing?" Alice said subconsciously.]

[The teacup in Aivia's hand almost slipped: "You didn't know?"]

["I didn't know."]

["You haven't conducted the papal ceremony?"]

["Is there such a thing?"]

["Without conducting the papal ceremony, your identity is..." Aivia said incredulously.]

[Alice directly summoned the Thunderbolt Certificate: "Is there a problem with my identity?"]

[Thunder Chosen One, and it's a Thunderbolt Certificate only granted to the Pope?]

[Aivia quietly sipped her tea; well, it's fine then.]

[But even for a divine selection, a papal ceremony should be held to appease the believers. What are the archbishops of the Master of Thunder Church doing?]

Shen Sui could only say that in fact, the archbishops of the Master of Thunder Church were quite diligent, but unfortunately, they got stuck with a Pope like Alice.

Papal ceremony? They planned to hold it, but Alice was always wandering around Roland City, stirring it into chaos.

The archbishops were constantly looking for Alice just to discuss the matter of the papal ceremony, but could never seize the opportunity.

However, in the end, Aivia left disappointed.

Alice was somewhat persuaded by Aivia, wanting to see what kind of strange entity the War God is now, but everything must be reasonable and sensible.

Now, her identity is deeply hostile to Aivia, so no matter what, she can't trust Aivia too easily.

Moreover, how could a faithful follower of the Master of Thunder be easily persuaded by a follower of Daylight?

Even if she really wanted to go, she would need a prophecy from the Master of Thunder.

Alice was thinking this way.

However, there are many smart people in this world, especially those who can become popes.

[After hearing Alice refuse her invitation, Aivia wasn't angry.]

[She looked at the woman named Adoma in front of her, wondering why she felt such hostility from her.]

[This hostility wasn't deliberate.]

[Such deep-seated hatred was akin to facing an enemy with a profound grudge.]

[Could it be that Adoma knows she was the one who attempted to assassinate her back then?]

[Then how did she know? I had used the divine art of Daylight to modify Adoma's perception of me at that time.]

[Adoma, no matter what, wouldn't associate her with the one who attempted to assassinate her.]

[Could someone informed have told her, the surviving one, about this event?]

[Who could that be?]

[Oshana?]

[Alice?]

[Aivia's mind quickly flashed through these two informants.]

Seeing this part, Shen Sui couldn't help but admire the grip the extraordinary people on Dawn Continent had on such details.

When Aivia attempted to assassinate Adoma, she had made all the necessary preparations. Even though she had reached the fourteenth rank and was attacking the twelfth-ranked Adoma, she accounted for the possibility of unsuccessfulness.

Assassination of a cleric is a highly significant event in any era. To ensure it wouldn't be associated with herself, Aivia used divine art at that time to alter Adoma's perception of her.

This divine art wouldn't change the original appearance, nor could those beyond the target perceive it, so Alice wasn't aware of this incident.

In Alice's view, the one who attempted to assassinate Adoma was the Daylight Saintess, Aivia.

So when she realized that her current identity was Adoma, she instinctively felt that showing hatred toward Aivia was a reasonable act, yet she inadvertently outsmarted herself and was directly detected by Aivia as something wrong.

At the time, the only ones aware of the assassination event were Aivia herself, Oshana, and the proposer Alice.

Aivia was very sure of Oshana's loyalty.

The Price Clan has always been the most devout followers of Lady of Daylight.

Then the only one likely to leak this information was Alice.

Shen Sui wasn't in a hurry watching Aivia's mental activities.

Alice should face some difficulties and tests too. If everything always goes smoothly, it's easy to become extremely arrogant with a paranoid personality.

[Impossible.]

[Aivia thought.]

[Alice is so adorable; how could she possibly betray me?]
