Chapter 768: Chapter D276: The Joy People Long For
“The Pope’s daughter!?” The Hero covered his mouth in astonishnt.
She looked again at the Black Dream Key before her, puzzled—her haggard face unadorned, pale from days without sunlight, her hair and eye color very close, yet under the slanting light of the setting sun, the soft hair reflected a faint pale gold, while the lancholy, muddled pupils revealed a deep blue when carefully observed.
Though not obvious, the colors were indeed identical to the Pope’s.
Neither blue nor gold are common colors among civilians, so this ans…
‘That old man plans to rebel? His daughter is actually a Key of the Door, and for the Dream Sect!’ The Depraved Hero clicked his tongue in surprise.
“Are you very curious why I am so afraid, obsessed with the Divine Knowledge Saintess?”
Seeing the Hero’s reaction, the Black Dream Key coldly laughed.
“If you had a friend who, from the mont you ca to your senses, had always secretly suggested to your father to kill you with his own hands, and your father had seriously thought and struggled about whether to do so… I don’t think you’d fare much better than I do.
“After all, you are a Hero of revenge, and the obsession of your kind of Hero is quite a terrifying thing as well.”
Not caring for the Hero’s response, after a cold laugh, the Black Dream Key deflated.
“But in the end, everything about couldn’t escape her foresight. I’m afraid after knowing this, the Pope would just bitterly smile and shake his head.”
Despite stating her identity, she addressed the Pope as if he were a stranger.
‘Once soone is foreseen by the Divine Knowledge Saintess to commit a future cri, even if that person is currently innocent, the Church might preemptively kill them in the cradle.’
The Hero recalled the words once told to him by the Cruising Bishop, rembering his complex expression at that ti, and for a mont was at a loss for words.
As the sunset descended, the twilight glow gradually faded, and the two silently raised their heads simultaneously, looking towards the dark distance.
The space there rippled, several figures appearing out of nowhere, and dozens of streaks of light flew across the sky dyed red by the evening glow.
“Fixed-point space teleportation, the Heavenly Pegasus of the Holy Knights…”
In the distance on the horizon, the dense sound of Chocobo footsteps gradually approached.
Sensing the multitude of strong magic power, the Hero widened his Erald Eye. Such a formation, comparable to an army, was rely to escort a re person.
However, the Black Dream Key let out a ‘heh’, showing none of the previous panic or fear.
She lowered her head again, calmly awaiting the soon-arriving Judgent Court team.
“When I was young, I thought that I too could one day be escorted at this level as a Saintess…”
Facing the Hero’s complex gaze, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a slightly mocking smile.
“Although you can et anyti if you want, I’ll give you a piece of advice now—the so-called Black Dream Key is a key that tries to open the Void Gate, traversing the endless void between dreams.
“I do wish to use the power of the Deep Sea to destroy the Holy City, but that is rely one-sided on my part. The Nightmare has never responded to .
“It’s the swarm that has stealthily existed in the Sea of Darkness since ancient tis, traversing the void with unknown power, even I cannot determine its origin, so you better not let your guard down.
“Losing our cooperation doesn’t an its retreat; it might instead infiltrate the hearts of all of us in a way that humankind cannot perceive…”
“I understand.” The Hero nodded seriously in response to the slightly threatening words of the Black Dream Key, which instead made her expression even darker.
“…Even the last response is so right, that’s why I hate this kind of Saintess.”
Then—

“Originally, I was just thinking of going out to kill Goblins, but unexpectedly stumbled upon a Key of the Door, and since there was no way to escape, I had to knock her down.”
The Hero succinctly explained.
Recalling the scene where she was directly captured by the Black Dream, she still felt a bit of lingering fear.
“Thanks to the help of the Divine Knowledge Saintess.”
Although the blessings on the Hero were not obtained out of her own will, these blessings had indeed saved her from peril several tis.
She wouldn’t assu that the Blessing Giver had good intentions because of this; it was just that currently, she and the Divine Knowledge Saintess should be on the sa side of interests.
‘And what about It? Does it want to eliminate the Dream Erosion Group? Although I’ll do it even without being told…’ The Hero’s thoughts wandered, and the room was engulfed in tranquility for a while.
[Hero’s Thoughts]
D120=d120(38)=38
[Saintess’s Precepts]
D972=d972(198)=198
And across from the Hero, after silently listening to her story, the Pope’s actions froze for about three minutes.
If not for the moonlight outside the window shifting with passing clouds, and the distant cacophony of the Holy City’s populace, the room would have seed like a still painting at that mont.
As dusk approached, the Judgent Court’s church bell struck in warning, sounding eight tis, indicating turmoil capable of overturning the Holy City.
The judges poured out, rushing out of the city under the lead of the Judgent Bishop.
The ritual’s fluctuations twisted the space, several Legendary experts proficient in the way of space, fully ard, parachuted directly to the coordinates from the communication scrolls.
The costly Heavenly Pegasus Knight Order soared into the sky as countless streams of light traversed the firmant.
The flag-waving marching formation was so grand that citizens almost mistook it for the reinitiation of the fifteen-year Holy War.
