The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"You who usurp the bodies of An Su, Arthur, and Lister, whoever succeeds will become the Quasi-Holy Child of our three great sects!"

```

Bishop Rada's voice resonated with power, stirring great waves among the esoteric geniuses. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

The geniuses all began to discuss amongst themselves, all saying that this shocking plan was far from simple.

And extremely perilous at that.

On the surface, it seemed only a matter of usurping the bodies of three saints, but the actual execution was as difficult as climbing to heaven, the prerequisite being to infiltrate the inner workings of the Church; and with a Demigod always guarding the Radiant Holy See, any slip would mean they would have to pay with their lives on the spot.

Moreover, it was rumored that this An Su Moningsta had a close friendship with Merlin, the head of the Radiance, serving as Merlin's personal barber. If the plan were exposed to the God of Law, the esoteric geniuses dared not think of the terrifying consequences.

Magic God Merlin's infamy in the Church Nation was enough to silence the cries of children at night.

Having one's head severed by the Judgment Light was the least of the punishments, and it was said that this Archmage was also obsessed with toying with souls; one might even have one's own soul squished into a dough-like shape.

But fortunately, His Excellency the Archmage was guarding Heaven and would absolutely not know of their scheming.

The esoteric geniuses heaved a collective sigh of relief within their hearts. Thankfully, the God of Law could not see their plan.

Meanwhile, on the other end, His Excellency Merlin in Heaven also breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, I can pretend not to see their plan.

Merlin had no desire to work overtime.

The Church and the esoteric religion had reached a rare agreement.

"My friends, there's no need to be tense."

Seeing the serious and somber expressions on the faces of the Chaos Followers, An Su, as the Quasi-Holy Child of Chaos, naturally needed to understand his loyal subordinates' troubles, to boost everyone's morale. He earnestly said,

"It's just the mere Lister and Arthur, a couple of chickens and dogs, what's there to fear?"

"It's only that An Su Moningsta who might be a bit more formidable, blessed with handsome looks, bright talents, a simple character, and a pure heart. Even I, the Brother of the Stairs, have to admire such a unique genius. What a man! Aside from him, there is nothing particularly difficult about this mission."

The Chaos Followers showed reflective expressions.

They thought Brother of the Stairs had a point.

With Brother of the Stairs' tremendous talents, even lighting a candle could start a fire. Since even he was so wary of An Su Moningsta, it appeared that this person was definitely a rising star of the Church, a genius among geniuses, while the other two were useless.

Arthur also saw the heavy expressions on the faces of the Serpent of Pain's followers. As the Quasi-Holy Child of pain, it was also his turn to say a few words. He then spoke aloud, "My friends, there's no need to worry."

"In my view, both Lister and An Su are just so-so, and only that Arthur Sunny is worthy of a bit of precaution,"

"It's said that he is a natural-born Sun Warrior, inheriting the bloodline of a Demigod, his actions are noble and just, and even I, the Serpent of Pain, marvel at his courage and perception! Apart from this Arthur, the other two don't matter."

The followers of pain also showed reflective expressions.

They thought the Serpent of Pain had a point.

The Serpent of Pain dared to go to the bathroom without any tissue, and even he had such high regard for Arthur's bravery; thus, this Arthur Sunny should not be underestimated, and the other two were useless.

On the side of the Life Followers, Lister felt it necessary to say something as well.

"Please hear my words, both Arthur and An Su are morally deficient; only that Lisiter Muen is truly a noble talent, the most worrisome..."

The Life Followers also showed reflective expressions.

They thought the words of the Son of Devotion were nonsense.

That An Su was the one-of-a-kind Child of the Curse in the whole world, probably delicious, and if Arthur was indeed of low moral standard, then he would certainly suit the taste of the Mother Goddess; Lister was the most useless and not worth the concern.

After this morale-boosting rally led by the three An Sus, the followers of the three great sects reached a consensus, taking the intersection of their conclusions, they deemed Lister the most useless and the other two as geniuses.

Bishop Rada saw the ongoing discussion below and snorted coldly, instantly quieting the whole room.

"This secret matter must be carefully planned and prepared. Remember that no one else can know, and within your respective groups, keep the specific implementation details confidential. Now, I will give time and space for each sect to discuss separately. Followers of the Gorilla Cult, come to me."

The classic group discussion ensued.

A total of nine esoteric geniuses remained, with three from each sect.

Aside from An Su and the Chaotic Elevator, the Ladder Sect also had a girl wrapped in a hood with pale green hair, known as 'Chaos Escalator'. They, the three Chaotic Stairs, came before the projection of the Hierarchical Holy Daughter.

This was An Su's first time seeing Elf's real face; the last time, the Holy Maiden had taken on the guise of Alice.

Elf was perched on a corner wall of Crow Alley, her long legs crossed and lightly shaking in boredom, toying with the wall's moss-covered dewdrops. She hung her head low, eyes crimson and indifferent, betraying her boredom, her face screaming, "How has this goddamn meeting not ended yet?"

She hadn't paid attention at all to Demigod Rada's speech since the meeting started.

Even the words of a Demigod did not concern the Hierarchical Holy Daughter.

Elf was young but had already reached the Saintly Rank.

If Magic God Merlin was the youngest Demigod, then Hierarchical Holy Daughter Ael was the youngest saint.

Upon seeing An Su and his companions approaching, Ael propped up her chin, her gaze turning intrigued as if watching a play unfold.
