Chapter 769: Chapter 473: Alice: I’m Here to Replace Vivian!

[The Master of Thunder is all too familiar with the power in Alice’s hands.]

[Vivian and Claude, the two most iconic figures of the Twilight Era, are also the deities’ most feared assassins.]

[Although among them, Claude is the most frightening, the true symbol is Vivian.]

[It’s not just because she was the initiator of the Twilight of the Gods.]

[It’s also because her power has distinct characteristics that can be easily recognized.]

[In contrast, Claude is simply strong.]

[The Master of Thunder looked at the power at Alice’s fingertips.]

[It symbolizes the twilight force, one of the Four Source Powers.]

[It also represents the power of the Twilight Saintess, Vivian.]

[The Master of Thunder no longer cared about Alice’s disrespect. His eyes, composed of thunder, were fixated on Alice’s fingertips.]

[Years ago, in Roland City, when summoned by the then Archbishop of Roland City, this was the power he saw.]

[At that time, he couldn’t even see clearly who it was, and upon feeling the Twilight Power, he fled as quickly as possible.]

[Alice’s words echoed in his ears.]

[Clearly, he could easily crush the woman before him, yet he was so frightened by her words that he dared not move.]

["What do you mean." The Master of Thunder remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.]

[Alice’s lips curled up: "Aren’t you surprised? Why do I have the power of twilight."]

[The Master of Thunder gazed at Alice, signaling her to continue.]

[Alice found it amusing at heart.]

[Even the lofty deities could be so easily taken aback by her.]

[It seemed that Vivian was indeed a terrifying existence for the deities, so much so that just hearing her name could make them lose their composure.]

[Alice’s mind raced.]

[She was now on a tiger she couldn’t easily dismount.]

[If she didn’t use Vivian’s name and the power of twilight to bluff the Master of Thunder, the surging punitive lightning would certainly reduce her to ashes.]

[Since she had to bluff anyway, why not go for a big one.]

Shen Sui sensed Alice’s intention and had a bad premonition.

Based on Alice’s past cases and her traditional tactics, Shen Sui quickly set up a psychological expectation to prevent his heart from failing when confronted with Alice’s bold statement later.

["I want to steal the power of the Twilight Saintess."]

Even though he was prepared psychologically, when Shen Sui saw Alice’s words, he instinctively clutched his chest.

Rebel! Such a rebel!

Although he understood it was Alice’s expedient measure, it didn’t stop Shen Sui from having a momentary urge to complain.

Vivian noticed Shen Sui’s expression and curiously moved closer.

Shen Sui remained silent, simply handing the Dueling Device to Vivian for her to see for herself.

After observing Alice’s series of actions, Vivian was actually quite delighted: "Ah! This isn’t impossible after all."

Shen Sui looked at Vivian in surprise.

"The twilight banner has fallen for too long, it’s time for these folks to see our power," Vivian said, looking seriously into Shen Sui’s eyes.

Seeing Vivian’s beautiful red eyes, and the emotion in them, Shen Sui instinctively raised his hand and placed it on Vivian’s cheek.

Vivian, in the real world, was actually living happily.

Here she enjoyed a carefree life, had her closest friends, her beloved whom she had pursued for millennia, and even a complete Life Card Duel system for entertainment during her leisure time.

For Vivian, who had wandered across various worlds for millennia, it indeed was an ideal place for retirement.

But, was Vivian willing to retire?

Or had she abandoned her original dream?

Shen Sui knew very well that Vivian never gave up on her initial idea.

In Vivian’s eyes, the power structure of deities or the church’s belief system shouldn’t exist.

An extraordinary being should surpass everything in the world, so why could those deities maintain their dominance just because of an early advantage?

Even if they occupied the top of the power hierarchy, why use the belief system to cut off the ladder to the fifteenth step for those who follow?

Just because deities are inviolable, should mortals never become gods?

What logic is that?

How dare a group of strong beings who stole the authority of the world call themselves deities?

Back when Vivian initiated the Twilight of the Gods, she awakened with resentment against the deities.

Now, having returned from her journeys across many worlds, Vivian was not as extreme.

Because in World No. 2, she encountered some deities she had never before experienced in her life.

The Gods of Dawn Continent had powerful forces first. After stealing authority and occupying divine positions, they solidified the extraordinary caste with so-called beliefs to maintain their rule. They never offered true rewards to their so-called followers, only using faith to lend their power to the upper-tier church followers to govern more followers. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

However, in World No. 2, the Incense Fire Gods from the East were born from the beautiful beliefs of mortals’ pursuits of life. They gradually developed self-awareness within, aggregating power through faith, and to maintain their existence and enhance their strength, they provided real feedback and responded to their followers’ prayers.
