Chapter 761: Chapter 471: You Can’t Spoil Bratty Kids!

"You seemed quite angry just now," Harms asked, "Is the plan not going smoothly?"

"It’s just subordinates being stupid," Keynes replied, "As for the plan, it’s actually going very smoothly for now. But, is the array you set up really that powerful? Such a powerful array, only requiring eight sacrifices?"

"Never underestimate extraordinary power."

Keynes stood up and walked to the window.

"It’s truly madness," Keynes muttered as he looked at the sea outside the window, "I never imagined that one day I would witness the end of the world with my own eyes."

The others from the Descent Association thought this year’s Pacific Cruise Championship was like usual, one of the plans to control the world from the shadows.

They didn’t know that Keynes was different from them. He wasn’t just a speculator seeking to exploit extraordinary power for profit; he was a true believer in the Twilight Saintess.

He didn’t mind if the world had to be destroyed for the Twilight Saintess.

"All for twilight," Harms said.

Keynes laughed heartily, spreading his arms wide: "For twilight!"

"The Twilight Saintess will appreciate your achievements."

"You’ve come all the way here, not just to talk to me about these things, right?" Keynes’s smile gradually faded as he looked at Harms and spoke.

Harms nodded: "There’s a change in the plan. The newly appointed Pope of the Daylight Church, Aivia, accepted my invitation and decided to come to the ceremony in person. I plan to take this opportunity to deal with Daylight as well. So you can initiate the second plan."

"It’s truly madness, you actually plan to eliminate three gods at once."

"The Lady Saintess has that power."

"Hey, I heard the Lady Saintess has successfully recovered," Keynes asked with a smile, "I wonder if she’s as beautiful as the legends say?"

Harms’s expression instantly turned icy: "Do not overstep... "

"Understood, understood." Keynes immediately nodded.

The sea breeze blew over the sea.

This voyage of the Saint Yimiti had exceptionally good luck, not encountering any significant storms along the way. Even at night, the cruise could sail very smoothly.

Shen Sui leaned on the railing with both hands, looking at the beautiful sunrise in the distance, and sighed: Time truly is both long and swift.

Shen Sui thought this way.

The sea breeze gently brushed his cheeks, carrying away the heat from vigorous exercise.

Winter, indeed, means there’s no need to worry about cooling down.

A satisfied Shen Sui, relieved of excess heat, walked back into the room.

However, to his disappointment, Vivian had already shed her enchanting demon form and reverted to her original appearance.

"What’s with that disappointed look on your face?" Vivian said helplessly upon seeing Shen Sui’s expression.

Shen Sui touched his face: "Just what it looks like."

Vivian couldn’t help but roll her eyes: "No way! You’re about to compete, forbidden to be lewd during the day!"

"Alright," Shen Sui sighed.

Vivian also breathed a sigh of relief, put on her nightgown, then sat up and put on her underwear inside her nightgown, giving Shen Sui no chance to enjoy the view.

"Oh! By the way!" Just as Shen Sui was puzzled about how a girl could dress like this, Vivian suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "I remembered."

Shen Sui was stunned: "Remembered what?"

"Aivia! Didn’t I say that name sounded familiar before?" Vivian’s eyes sparkled.

What’s with your expression?

Ah, no, what do you mean by remembering now?

Does an all-nighter clearing blockage also restore memory?

Shen Sui mused inwardly, and then Vivian’s words shocked him.

"The name I gave to the Candlelight Illusion I created for Baris was Aivia," Vivian said.

"???"

Shen Sui opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The Daylight Church, Baris, Candlelight Illusion...

Shen Sui initially wanted to say it was a coincidence, but the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Baris is still missing. She disappeared after Vivian left, so Vivian doesn’t know where Baris is now.

If it were an ordinary world, Baris might already be dead.

But this is the Dawn Continent, an extraordinary world. As the strongest Knight of Daylight of her time, if Baris disappeared without a trace, that would be the real problem.

Shen Sui had imagined countless possibilities for reuniting with Baris, but he never expected the news about Baris to be related to the Pope of the Daylight Church.

If Aivia really was Baris’s Candlelight Illusion, then the active Aivia now, is she the free-moving Candlelight Illusion, or the real Baris?

If Aivia is a freely active Candlelight Illusion, then where is the real Baris?

Countless possibilities flashed through Shen Sui’s mind.

When Aivia interacted with Alice, Shen Sui had checked Aivia’s inner thoughts, and he didn’t find much unusual information, except that he teased about Aivia’s fondness for Alice.

Long ago, when Alice crashed the Lingyi aircraft, crashing in front of the War God Temple, the first time Aivia met Alice, she showed an excessive fondness for Alice.

Not to mention the later Elm City incident.

The dignified Daylight Saintess actually agreed to assassinate a high-ranking cleric of another church under Alice’s words, which seemed very fantastical no matter how you put it.
