Chapter 437: Seeking

~6 min read 1,188 words

"Good afternoon, Hidden Lady." Klein bowed slightly, greeting this Angel.

"You are quite good." The Hidden Angel withdrew her gaze from the Snake of Fate bracelet.

She seemed to have confirmed Klein's state through some method, learning his current level.

"I must thank you for the formula and materials you gave me." Klein was not surprised; after becoming a True Apostle, he seemed able to perceive some things about the Angel before him.

She was actually somewhat similar to Bernadette; it was the aura of a Dream Angel.

"Then come with me; you shouldn't stay here," the Hidden Angel said softly.

"..." Klein glanced at the clergy around him; these people all wore a certain anxiety on their faces, but also a sense of shared honor.

This was a Holy War!

The Holy War between the God of War Church and the Evernight Church, which had begun but paused due to the ascension of the God of Steam and Machinery, would break out at the same time as the war between Loen and Feysac!

Feysac was, in fact, already preparing for war and would declare war on Loen at any moment.

"What is the essence of this Holy War?" Klein followed the Hidden Angel deep into Saint Samuel Cathedral and couldn't help but ask.

This question had troubled him for a long time.

"The Evernight Church and the God of War Church have always been enemies." The Hidden Angel did not refuse to answer, likely because Klein now barely had the qualifications to understand this matter.

"The two major Churches?" Klein first ruled out personal grievances between the Goddess of Evernight and the God of War.

"Then it's adjacent Pathways?" Klein's spirituality stirred, and he found the answer.

Sleepless, Corpse Collector, and Warrior—these three Pathways were adjacent, and high-level Sequences could be swapped.

And the Roselle Diary had said that once a Pathway was chosen, enemies and friends were determined.

Just like how Klein saw Amon and Zaratul now.

"The Goddess has already grasped the Authority of the Death Pathway," the Hidden Angel said in a flat tone, revealing the greatest secret of the Evernight Church today.

"It was snatched from the hands of the God of War Church."

Perhaps later, descriptions like "Controller of the Underworld" would appear in the honorific name of the Goddess of Evernight... Klein already understood.

A flash of lightning seemed to cross Klein's mind, and he even vaguely sensed that there were even more terrifying secrets within this, but he had no way to explore them.

The Hidden Angel had no intention of lecturing Klein on this aspect of knowledge; she and Klein arrived at a meditation room deep in the cathedral, and she handed a document to Klein.

"Lalion, High Pontiff of the God of War Church, Sequence 2 Glorifier of the Twilight Pathway..." Klein's heart jumped; this was information on the highest level of the God of War Church!

Was this Holy War to be a fight to the death? Were they even starting to hunt Angels?!

Klein, still a Sequence 3, was somewhat afraid.

"There is one more." The Hidden Angel gave Klein another set of data.

"Roland, Matriarch of the Earth Church, Sequence 2 Desolate Matriarch of the Mother Pathway..."

Klein read one line, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Was this something he could look at?!

"The Earth Church and the God of War Church are very close," the Hidden Angel added, as if she could not see the change in Klein's expression.

The most orthodox faith in Feysac was naturally the God of War Church, followed by the Mother Goddess of Earth Church.

"So this will be the God of War Church and the Mother Goddess of Earth Church targeting us at the same time?" Klein almost gasped; now he understood why the Hidden Angel had to force Loen, or rather Adam, to support the Evernight Church.

Otherwise, the situation would be too dire.

"You can understand it that way," the Hidden Angel said with a detached tone, devoid of emotion.

Klein thought about some of the situations that might arise and felt a chill; the key to this Holy War was not them, but the three True Gods above!

"The Goddess might attempt to control the Authority of the Underworld," the Hidden Angel comforted Klein slightly.

Klein felt much more at ease; at the very least, he wouldn't think about running away immediately.

"I have a mission for you."

The dagger was revealed at the end of the map... Klein wanted to refuse; after all, this might involve Angels, and it was even more likely to require him to jump back and forth between the two Churches.

"The reward is the formula for a Miracle Invoker." The Hidden Angel's words echoed in Klein's ears, and the words Klein had just wanted to use to refuse suddenly couldn't be spoken.

He knew that Miracle Invoker was the Sequence 2 Angel of the Diviner Pathway, and it was also the Sequence Zaratul currently occupied.

And at the level of an Angel, both the formula and the materials could no longer be measured by money.

"Fine!"

Klein thought for a moment and finally agreed.

In the Loen Royal Palace, Zaratul met the newly promoted Balancer, George III.

"I want to know everything about Qunas Colger." Zaratul's eyes were deep as ink, and not a single ray of light could shine into the depths of His heart.

"He..." George III was also somewhat hesitant when facing this long-famous Miracle Invoker.

"I can give it to you." Finally, George III nodded; He already knew that Qunas had been replaced during a certain period of time.

Otherwise, He wouldn't need to pay attention to the movements in Feysac in addition to dealing with the Castiya Family.

"Thank you." Zaratul bowed slightly, giving this King basic respect, and then a figure made of starlight appeared beside Him, directly taking Him away from the Loen Royal Palace.

"Hmph! Qunas, Evernight Church!" George III wished He could kill the Klein who had impersonated Qunas immediately.

After all, it was He who allowed the fake Qunas to truly enter the core circle, but He did not expect that the person who entered would be an undercover agent!

This directly led to the presence of an extra Hidden Angel in that battle.

On the other side, Zaratul had already arrived at the office of the Deputy Director of MI9, the place where Klein had stayed the longest as an undercover agent.

Zaratul reached out and wiped His face; His appearance changed instantly, becoming Qunas Colger.

He was like a puppet, relying on powerful divination abilities to imitate all of Klein's habits as Qunas, working and resting just like the real Qunas.

Zaratul knew that this Diviner of the same Pathway must be very cautious and would not leave any clues, but He had never hoped to find him just like this.

He spent a full day continuing all the unfinished work of "Qunas."

His divination almost restored every scene of Qiunas's work at that time.

"This is..." Zaratul suddenly found a Magic Mirror in the office safe.
