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

Heaven.

Dusk and dawn exchanged places once more, with pale clouds spreading over the long stairs and thick sunlight gushing along the edges of Heaven's gates.

Merlin stood at the end of the steps, his pure white pupils looking down upon the beings of Heaven with a serious expression; uncertainty flickered in the depths of his eyes, as if pondering the most vast and complex ultimate question of the universe.

His every gesture exuded the ancient majesty of the God of Law, especially as the chief radiant being, shimmering with blinding sunlight.

Merlin touched his head worryingly, wondering why his hair hadn't started growing back yet.

The magic of An Su was very strange,

Once cut, it wouldn't grow back.

He sighed lightly.

Beneath the steps, An Su presented himself proudly to Merlin, seeking credit for his achievements.

Merlin's eyelid twitched slightly.

Looking at An Su, it didn't seem like he was lying.

The Holy Light in the pupils of the God of Law shimmered slowly, illuminating An Su's heart, which revealed sheer sincerity; it seemed this lad wasn't boasting after all—the Pain Sect had indeed been renamed as the Star Cult.

These three lads took a tour through the Esoteric Religion, burned down their stronghold, seized their beautiful women and money, and now even the Sect had taken An Su's name.

Merlin began to doubt who the real cultists were.

"So what about my request?"

Merlin was more concerned about whether some idiotic Demigod would come to possess him, sparing him from work.

"Once I'm completely in control of the Star Cult, I'll send Bishop Rada, one of my generals, to possess you," An Su had already started to act like the master of the Star Esoteric Sect, generously making promises to Merlin.

"How far have you taken control now?"

Merlin's face darkened; he felt the lad was all talk.

"I can now assign work to bishops," An Su said seriously, "I just appointed him as the legion commander of the Star Cult."

Does Rada know it was you who appointed him?

Merlin didn't want to talk to this lad anymore; he cast a silencing spell on An Su in an instant, sealing his mouth.

[An Su Moningsta has been muted for thirty minutes by the rotating curator of Heaven]

An Su fell silent.

Damned privilege dog.

Silencing magic is very powerful and valuable legendary magic, capable of forbidding a Magician's chanting and preventing the casting of spells. In a battle, it plays a key role in determining victory or defeat. For all magicians, silencing magic is not to be used casually, yet Merlin treated it like a silencing technique.

This guy is petty and intolerant of slight, silencing others when he can't win an argument.

In the future, when I become the leader of the Star Cult, I'll mute you too.

An Su criticized Merlin in his heart.

"You haven't even completed the most important task, how can you have the face to see me!"

Unable to speak, Merlin started to directly criticize An Su.

Upon seeing this, Arthur brought up the list of Cultists who had sworn brotherhood—twenty-seven Esoteric Religion geniuses arranged by Rank, detailing not just their names and contact information, but also the areas where they were hiding, even including the names of their immediate family members; it was very thorough.

The list also bore a line in large characters: "Wishing to die on the same year, same month, same day."

Price tags were marked according to the Rank: fifty devotion points for Third Order, a hundred for Fourth Order, excluding themselves, there were a total of twenty Third Order and four Fourth Order, amounting to 1400 devotion points.

"Your Excellency Merlin, we've already sorted everything out," Arthur said with a bright smile, "These are all the brothers who participated in this meeting, our sworn brothers, adding up to fourteen hundred devotion points. Arthur and I take three parts each, Brother Su gets four parts."

They calculated the share for their sworn brothers.

When Merlin received the list, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said with a displeased look, "Have you really sworn brotherhood with the cultists?"

"Talking about these matters in front of me with no reverence, are you scorning my dignity?"

Obviously, the pressure around them dipped in an instant.

Arthur felt Merlin's genuine rage, the fury of the God of Law chilling to the bone.

Arthur recalled the rumors that Bishop Merlin was a Demigod of the Holy Light, who abhorred evil and will tolerate no wickedness or blasphemy. It seemed that their brotherhood with the cultists had crossed a line with the radiant Demigod.

Merlin looked like he was about to execute them on the spot.

In the tense atmosphere, Merlin slowly spoke, each word weighing heavy on Arthur's heart,

"Where's my share of the benefits?"

That gaze from the pure white eyes stared intently at Arthur, who had deeply offended Merlin's bottom line by not giving a share to the radiant Demigod, showing no respect.

Cold sweat broke out on Arthur.

It was time to show brotherly loyalty, a gleam of light flashed in Arthur's eyes.

He quickly pointed to the innocent-looking An Su, expressing his brotherly spirit, "An Su took one part more than us, your share was taken by him as a kickback!"

You son of a...

The silenced An Su, unable to voice his grievances, could only glower fiercely.

[An Su Moningsta has been muted for one hour by the rotating curator of Heaven]

[Arthur Sunny has been muted for thirty minutes by the rotating curator of Heaven]

Efficiently casting two more silencing spells, Merlin felt invigorated by the sensation of authority.

Lister, seeing Merlin strike down two people, broke into a cold sweat.

Merlin's malicious pure white eyes then turned towards Lister.

The lad managed to rile Merlin the most, even starting a beauty contest within the Esoteric Religion.
