The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing
Chapter 266 Last Phase, Azure Sorceress Su Awakens
[Forty minutes remain until dawn.]
The thin twilight had completely worn away at the end of the long night, and the sky gradually became clear. Layer upon layer of clouds spread out over the Pale Blue Plains, slowly being tinted with a blush of yellow. The moment dawn neared was also the darkest moment of the night.
At the far end of vision, the Corpse Fort emitted a chill, as countless Stitched Life refreshed within the non-existent Holy Hall, waiting to swarm out and shred the Dawn Cathedral to pieces.
To prevent the evil Stitched Life from harming the Dawn Saintess, An Su diligently used the remaining Alchemical Materials to add a few more locks to the Holy Light Barrier, ensuring that the doors and windows were secured, so that the Dawn Saintess could peacefully complete her ceremony. Only then did he set his mind at ease.
The mosquito net was now ready.
This is how a refined Princess prays.
The Guardian Knight An Su first thoughtfully covered the cathedral's translucent glass with an Alchemy Eyemask to prevent light from entering, perfecting the Holy Light Barrier, and set up the mosquito net to ensure that no one could disturb the refined Princess. Then he lit a stick of Druid's Life Incense on the windowsill as the Core Outfit—Life Incense.
The Life Incense could enhance the vitality of living beings and stimulate their spirits, belonging to a positive amplification category, so it could pass through the judgment of the Holy Light Barrier, ensuring that all the creatures inside had a vigorous excitement.
All the details were flawless.
The diligent An Su patted his hands together, smiling appreciatively at the fruits of his labor.
Luo Xiaohei looked fearfully at An Su's seamless series of actions, swallowing his saliva quietly.
Under normal circumstances, the Flower Fairy naturally couldn't harm the Saint Princess, but now the Princess was in a special state where she couldn't be disturbed. The buzzing noise alone from the Flower Fairy could be deadly!
And now he'd lit an excitement agent for the mosquitoes!
Trapped in a mosquito net with mosquitoes, Luo Xiaohei couldn't imagine what kind of torture that was. The mind that could invent such an ingenious execution method meant that An Su had made his mark in life!
But the nobles from the outside world were still oblivious to An Su's private actions. They watched the youth with appreciation, satisfied with his meticulous guardianship. Although the boy's actions might seem eccentric at times, he at least had tremendous respect for the imperial family.
With proper cultivation and guidance, he would undoubtedly become the new leader of the righteous path.
The girls from the Chastity Cathedral were even more amazed by An Su's attention to the details; some had taken out notebooks, resolved to copy down An Su's entire outfitting process. The next time they went to the cathedral to pray or worship, they would use a Princess-approved outfit, which would undoubtedly be exquisite.
Most of the Alchemists, on the other hand, were curious about what special Alchemical Materials were in An Su's little bag, which could hold so many tools...
In summary, An Su's flowing series of actions won the affection and curiosity of most people.
It seemed this young man really had turned over a new leaf and was living a good life.
This time, the victory was assured for Her Majesty the Princess... Everyone's smile revealed satisfaction.
[Until the Third Tier attack.]
The sky revealed the white of fish bellies as dawn was about to break, and it would soon be bright. However, Cersei's vision of the light changes outside was not clear, as An Su had covered the windows of the Dawn Cathedral with black cloth.
But she knew it was almost daylight.
Most areas of the cathedral were dim, with only the space in front of the statue brightly lit. The Dawn Ceremony was in its final stage, and upon completion, the Holy Light of Heaven, with its vast blessings, would destroy all the calamities in the world.
Although the Celestial Messenger had told her it was just the "Third Tier," Cersei knew it was the last stage.
Because her ceremony was about to be completed, entering the final step.
So far, things had been progressing smoothly.
Cersei's calculations were not wrong, and An Su, relying on the supply of Holy Light from the statue as well as his own skills, had successfully resisted the attacks of the First Tier and Second Tier. He had even counterattacked the headquarters of the Esoteric Sect—this was quite a surprise and impressive to Cersei.
But he had not succeeded in dismantling the Holy Hall of the Esoteric Sect, nor had he cut off the subsequent tiers that were coming.
This was An Su's only chance to outdo her... but alas, he failed. However, according to Cersei's prediction, perhaps the Magic God Merlin hadn't even anticipated a way to dismantle the Holy Hall.
Regardless, An Su had lost this single opportunity.
The scores from the first two tiers would be given to An Su then; he could get a good score as well.
As long as the Dawn Ceremony was completed, all of the Stitched Life would die, and the Bone Fortress would be historically obliterated in advance. This meant that the remaining four tiers of attack that were supposed to happen on the world line were all erased, with all the remaining effects attributed to Cersei. Her achievements that could be attained in this world would surely surpass those of the historic 'Dawn Saintess' herself.
According to Cersei's calculations, after An Su had sustained through the first two tiers, she would cut off his supply of Holy Light. An Su, without supplies, would have a difficult and reluctant time resisting the Third Tier attack and might not even be able to withstand it.
Even so, the Third Tier Stitched Life would have a hard time breaking down the 'Holy Light Barrier' quickly.
By the time they shattered the barrier, Cersei's ceremony would also be complete.
Cersei's eyes, a pale white, were lowered slightly, her face calm as she considered each part of the plan in her mind, confirming there were no errors or oversights. She knew An Su would not rest until he'd had his way, so Cersei had deliberately left a backdoor in the Holy Light Barrier, in case of an unexpected mutation. She would abandon the Dawn Ceremony and instantly withdraw from the cathedral to avoid the annihilation backlash of the Holy Light of Heaven.
