Chapter 907 - 531: Alice Always Leaves You in the Dark (Part 2)
But just as Shen Sui had barely stood up, his Dueling Device suddenly started to vibrate faintly.He instinctively lowered his head to look.
The other two present were both very professional Life Card Masters. Seeing Shen Sui’s expression and movements, they immediately knew his Dueling Device had just given the prompt that a new Soul Card had been drawn.
Shen Sui glanced at the Dueling Device and instantly showed a somewhat troubled expression.
"Handle your Soul Card stuff first," Yang Liguang said very considerately at this moment. "I don’t have any other plans today, I can wait."
Strictly speaking, Yang Liguang actually wasn’t that free.
But considering the chaotic situation in Modu before she came, she had deliberately left a blank slot in her schedule.
Having a Soul Card draw a new Life Card was a very rare event. Normally, your opponent wouldn’t force you to choose between the Soul Card World and the match just for this, unless you’d really pissed them off beyond redemption.
Yang Liguang saying this was clearly out of professional ethics. She obviously had no idea how common drawing a new Life Card was for Shen Sui.
As she spoke, she looked over at Wang Ming, as if asking for his opinion with her eyes.
Wang Ming smiled. "As long as you two have no objections, I have no objections at all."
"You’re really this free?" Shen Sui complained as he flipped through the Dueling Device. "You can stand here for a whole day?"
"Of course I’m not that free." Wang Ming gave Shen Sui a deep look.
But providing you with the highest-quality Life Card–related service is one of my core tasks.
In fact, it’s the top priority among top priorities.
Not for anything else—just those two women behind Shen Sui were enough.
Of course, the Exploration Bureau also strongly suspected that Shen Sui himself might already possess Extraordinary Power. After all, a few days ago, although Shen Sui had used Extraordinary Power, that was more attributed to his maid, Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala.
Star Abyss White Dragon’s terrifying spatial abilities were no secret at the Exploration Bureau.
Considering the strength of Freymia and Qishala, and thinking of the buffer zone plan Shen Sui had proposed, making sure to serve him well had already become the most important part of Wang Ming’s job.
It was like a third- or fourth-tier city finally managing to bring in a major manufacturing company—so long as things went smoothly, the city’s economy would be significantly boosted, and that company would naturally become the city’s future focal point.
After getting both their consent, Shen Sui turned around and sat back down.
Just now, the war between the Daylight Church and the Master of Thunder Church had officially broken out.
The continuation of this Divine War could be described as extremely fierce.
In an extremely short time, both sides suffered heavy casualties among their priests.
And the source of all this came from Alice.
When Shen Sui opened the Dueling Device and saw the Daylight Church and the Master of Thunder Church fighting, he was full of confusion.
As the two most powerful Churches on the continent, any move between them tugged at the entire world.
When they’d merely been facing off at the border earlier, it had already stirred global unease. Now that they had actually started fighting, that was enough to scare a lot of people to death.
Shen Sui hadn’t expected this. Logically speaking, once Alice became the Daylight Saintess, the actual leaders of the two Churches had become the same person.
Two Churches sharing one brain should theoretically make them more harmonious. So how had they suddenly ended up at war?
When Shen Sui flipped to Alice’s thoughts from yesterday, he really didn’t know what to say.
This little girl actually wanted to use this method to squeeze more Divinity out of Baris.
The war had been launched in a great rush, yet it was also highly reasonable.
As, on the surface, the most radical Daylight Priest, Alice urgently starting a war to fight for the Lady of Daylight was, in fact, perfectly in character.
Those fanatical priests she’d talked into it had been in high positions far too long and had completely forgotten the basic operating logic of the world.
They had no idea how long it actually took to prepare a life-or-death war between two Churches.
Anyway, under Alice’s constant urging, the Daylight Church’s army marched to the front lines in just two days.
At the same time, the witch hunt in Sun City, triggered by Alice’s deliberate frame-up, started showing its dangers: with the massive loss of priests, the Daylight Church’s army began to experience a shortage of officers, and this problem became more and more obvious as the army advanced.
Thus, in this hastily launched war, the Daylight Church, which theoretically should have been stronger, displayed an unprecedented level of incompetence. They were actually held up by the vanguard supervision unit composed of those young masters from the Master of Thunder Church, then were hit head-on by the Church’s main force, taking heavy losses.
And all of this was intentional on Alice’s part.
Her whole series of rushed, chaotic operations basically aimed at weakening the Daylight Church’s true strength.
The front-line situation was extremely unfavorable for the Daylight Church.
So, as the Daylight Saintess, Alice officially began fulfilling the duties of the Daylight Saintess in accordance with the Church’s doctrine.
She went straight to the front lines and, in front of the soldiers on both sides, fought a battle with the "Thunder Pope" disguised by the young girl Vivian.
Obviously, judging from the official power rankings, there was no way Alice could defeat a thirteenth-level Thunder Pope.
At this moment, in order to salvage the war situation and defeat the Pope before her, Alice very naturally initiated prayer and supplication to Baris.
["Give me some Divinity!" Alice cried out in her heart.]
[The Lady of Daylight sensed Alice’s call.]
[The Lady of Daylight bestowed Divinity upon Alice.]
[Ding! You have obtained Spell Card: A Bit of Divinity]
Unexpectedly, Alice really managed to fleece her.
One had to know that the transfer of Divinity had to be channeled through the route of faith, so Baris couldn’t directly transmit the Divinity in her body into Alice’s.
And within the faith system, trying to fleece Divinity was extremely difficult.
Alice actually used the method of feeding herself to the enemy to launch a prayer with a highly reasonable justification.
As long as she could successfully initiate prayer, everything that followed would be easy.
Baris would never be stingy.
Especially when it was being given to Alice.
Even after doing all that, Alice still wasn’t done.
After fleecing Divinity from Baris, Alice turned around and, in the second battle, defeated the "Pope" by a narrow margin.
[Alice sent a prayer to the slumbering Master of Thunder.]
[She described the current situation and earnestly implored the great Master of Thunder to descend Divine Power and help the Master of Thunder Church get through its present crisis.]
[The Master of Thunder did not harbor the slightest doubt or hesitation and transmitted a portion of Divinity into Alice’s body.]
[Ding! You have obtained Spell Card: Left and Right Horizontal Jump]
Well then—Alice actually took the chance to fleece a wave of the Master of Thunder’s Divinity as well.
Once this portion of Divinity entered Alice’s body, it was naturally a one-way trip—this also counted as indirectly weakening the Master of Thunder, though for Shen Sui, whether he was weakened or not really made no difference.
If the Master of Thunder were in a normal state right now, he would definitely notice the disappearance of this Divinity.
Unfortunately, he had been seriously wounded by Baris and was currently in a deep slumber.
Alice’s actions were clearly taking advantage of the Master of Thunder’s lack of self-awareness.
Even so, this was still extremely dangerous behavior. Only someone as utterly fearless as Alice would dare to do this. If the Master of Thunder ever discovered she was deliberately fleecing him, grinding her bones to dust would be considered a light punishment.
After fleecing Divinity from the Master of Thunder, Alice could, of course, justifiably lose to the Thunder Pope.
This in turn gave Alice another excuse: in order to protect the Daylight Church, she once again prayed to the Lady of Daylight, begging for more Divine blessing to gain power surpassing her opponent.
Theoretically, Alice could use this method to fleece both sides of their Divinity dry.
Unfortunately, her soul strength was limited and could no longer bear more Divinity being poured in.
This wool-gathering war had to be put on hold for now.
And after this whole round of operations, Alice really did manage to fully bring Baris’s situation under control.
With that, Alice could embark on a new journey without any worries.
