"The Demon Temple... is Bloody Butterfly? If the Demon Temple truly has consciousness, doesn’t this an that our ultimate goal... has left the Abyssal Demon Horde’s protection and co to the human world?! This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, Holy Father if we seize this opportunity! Find that Bloody Butterfly! Focus all our combat power, we might be able to eliminate it directly! We could end this disaster that has lasted for over five hundred years!"
After Kael finished his prayer, Kain couldn’t contain his excitent and stepped forward to share his thoughts with the Pope.
However,
His suggestion did not earn Kael’s approval.
The Pope slowly turned around, shook his head helplessly, and directly denied Kain’s plan.
"Do you really think it’s that simple, Kain? The Demon Temple has cultivated seven Demon King entities. The power inside the Temple is certainly far superior to other Demon Kings. Think about the Higanbana, think about Sword Demon and Inferno. Do you think it’s easy to eliminate Demon Temple? Don’t think that leaving Winter Forest ans the Temple is truly helpless. That is an entity that can freely create Abyssal Demons. If she wishes, all living beings around her could turn into terrifying monsters. Rashly attacking her would just be suicide."
"Yes, yes... I’m sorry, Holy Father. I got a bit too carried away."
Realizing his naive thoughts, Kain quickly bowed his head and apologized to Kael.
However,
The next mont,
Kain changed his tone, showing a worried look:
"But the problem is, Holy Father... if we don’t seize this opportunity to act quickly, wouldn’t the Demon Temple entering the human world be a very dangerous thing?! If she suddenly releases her power, wouldn’t an entire country easily turn into a sea of fire and hell, becoming a paradise for Demons? We can’t just let such a terrifying existence go unchecked, In this case, isn’t it..."
"No. We’re going to let it go unchecked."
"Huh?? Are... are you serious?"
Upon hearing Kael’s unhesitant response, Kain was taken aback, looking at the blonde man with so disbelief in his violet eyes.
And for his subordinate’s full-of-doubt gaze, Kael imdiately regained his usual affability, without any hint of superiority, he waved at Kain:
"Oh, don’t worry, my friend~ Trust , at least for now, that Bloody Butterfly will not make a move~"
"Eh?! How... do you..."
"Just trust , I won’t lie to you."
...
...
Several minutes later, at the fifth-floor basent of the Cathedral’s eastern grand hall,
Kain, dressed in a snappy military uniform, was strolling slowly through this hidden underground corridor. As he walked, the content of his conversation with the Pope earlier was constantly replaying in his mind like a slideshow, making the mood of this Apostle of Heaven very complicated.
" Not to interfere at all?"
The Pope’s extraordinarily baffling proposal left Kain torn between confusion and conflict.
’Just like that?’
’To let such a terrifying existence into the human world? Is this really the right thing? The Demon Temple... or should I say, Bloody Butterfly? If it really does go berserk, the aftermath would be unthinkable, wouldn’t it?!’
...
Just like that,
While grappling with these thoughts, Kain rubbed his temples with a troubled look, his whole body shrouded in a conflicted mood,
However,
This feeling didn’t last for long.
After wrestling with his inner doubts, he eventually drew out a deep breath, choosing to trust Kael’s guidance.
"The Pope has always been foresighted and is the only being in the world who can communicate with the Goddess. Perhaps, the Pope has received so divine ssage from her?"
’The Pope must have his own plans’
’And I’
’As his subordinate, should simply follow the orders...’
With this decision made, Kain slowly pushed open the heavy iron door in front of him,
Subsequently, a hidden location, akin to a fusion of a prison and a lab, ca into Kain’s view.
’?!’
’Hmm? sir Kain?’
Within the lab, several mbers of Asumos Church wearing white lab coats, were visibly taken aback at Kain’s arrival.
Then, many female devotees rushed over, trying to greet the most popular and handso man in the Church.
However, when they approached, they found to their dismay that the charming smile that used to grace Kain’s face was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was an indescribable seriousness. The killing intent in his violet eyes sent shivers down their spines.
The won who were attempting to greet him froze in their tracks, so shrinking back and lowering their heads, only daring to steal glances at the solemn-looking Kain.
Seeing this,
A portly man, who appeared to be the head of the lab, hastily pushed aside two gorgeous won beside him, lugged his fat body over, and hurriedly approached Kain:
"Sir Kain, what’s the matter? Why did you suddenly co to our place?"
"The Pope has given instructions."
"Hmm? The Pope?"
Hearing the word ’Pope’, the previously indifferent fat man instantly narrowed his eyes, respectfully lowering his head:
"Then... The Pope? What are his instructions?"
"Regarding the resistance experint, the Pope demands that you produce results as soon as possible."
"Resistance? Yes... We understand. Give us... Give us another two months, and we’ll definitely be able to complete the final nurical estimations!"
"Good, you’d better. Otherwise, you know how the Pope handles those who fail to perform their duties."
"... Yes..."
The fat man responded in sowhat fearful acknowledgnt,
"I... I will not disappoint the Pope."
"Good, it should be so."
With a fleeting glance at the eccentric lab director, Kain refrained from saying more and silently advanced into the depths of the lab. Under the watchful eyes of the lab personnel, including the stout man, Kain made his way to the center of the lab.
Subsequently, the Heavenly Apostle revealed a complicated expression, and with mixed feelings, he raised his head to look at the space above him,
