Chapter 771: Chapter 473: Alice: I’m Here to Replace Vivian!

[For this reason, the Master of Thunder believed Alice’s words.]

People are always deceived by their own experiences, thinking others should be the same as them.

The gods cannot recover once their divinity is occupied, so the Master of Thunder naturally believed that as long as Alice occupied Vivian’s Twilight power, Vivian could not be resurrected.

Alice exploited this point to fool the Master of Thunder.

["Tell me your plan," the Master of Thunder said.]

[Ding! You have obtained a Spell Card: Deceive the Celestial God]

[Ding! You have attained a new form: Celestial Deceiver Alice]

The Master of Thunder was evidently frightened by Vivian’s illusion saying "get out," thus urgently trying to prevent Vivian’s resurrection and ended up falling for Alice’s trap.

["The Twilight Legion, my people," Alice said to the Master of Thunder, "is the most crucial tool I have for seizing the Twilight power. The root of the Twilight Legion is in South Roland, and once it develops, it will inevitably clash with the church’s interests. Of course, I don’t ask you to issue a divine edict to let them grow unchecked; you just need not to respond to the clerics’ calls for you to punish the Twilight Legion."]

["In simple terms, just turn a blind eye."]

Shen Sui did not expect that Alice would strike a deal with the Master of Thunder at such a moment, even at the cost of exposing her disguise.

But Shen Sui could also understand Alice.

To the Master of Thunder, even though he saw through Alice’s disguise and knew she was not Edoma, everything else was blocked by Vivian’s tool.

This blockade made the Master of Thunder somewhat believe Alice’s words; after all, if she hadn’t genuinely mastered the Twilight power, how could she block the gods’ investigations?

However, this also made the Master of Thunder indecisive, as he couldn’t completely see through Alice.

When Alice took the initiative to expose the Hozerville disguise, this unknown bewilderment was greatly reduced in the Master of Thunder’s eyes.

Twilight Legion, Witch Hozerville.

These had been troublesome matters for the Master of Thunder’s church in recent years.

Since Alice exposed herself as Hozerville, controlling the Twilight Legion, the matter of her saying she’d replace the Twilight Saintess was highly likely to be real.

A true master of deception never lets the victim make all the sacrifices; sometimes, to deceive more significant benefits, they would pay some cost to gain the victim’s trust.

[The Master of Thunder agreed.]

After Alice exposed her disguise, the Master of Thunder agreed to Alice’s suggestion without hesitation.

To the Thunder Church, the Master of Thunder is extremely important.

But is the church really important to the Master of Thunder?

The faith is merely a tool for consolidating his position, and once lost, it can be rebuilt. The Thunder Church has been destroyed before.

As long as the Master of Thunder exists, he can rebuild the Thunder Church countless times.

But if Vivian truly resurrects, his life would be at risk, and who knows if he could be revived again.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Master of Thunder, even sacrificing an entire Thunder Church to ensure Vivian never resurrects is worth it, let alone ignoring the Twilight Legion.

Oh, my followers, your faith is me.

To maintain my existence, it’s no problem if I need to make you suffer a bit.

Thus, a very dramatic scene unfolded before Shen Sui.

On the square of the Papal ceremony were the most devout followers of the Master of Thunder.

And on the altar of the Papal ceremony, their Pope and their god were discussing selling out the interests of the Thunder Church.

[The Master of Thunder descended a divine miracle.]

[This was a gift to the most devout Pope.]

[Alice was thoroughly bathed in the divine power of Thunder.]

[From this moment on, Alice will be the undisputed Pope of the Thunder Church.]

[The entire square was enveloped in divine light.]

[All the followers shouted with admiration and were intoxicated.]

[Such a miraculous scene was something they had never beheld in their lifetimes.]

[This meant that the current Pope was the most favored by the Master of Thunder.]

[The favor of the gods meant the Pope’s strength.]

[With the endorsement of the Master of Thunder, there would be no more opposition to Alice within the church.]

[She would be the unequivocal Pope.]

[Alice glanced at the followers below.]

[Her mind recalled the scene in Andrew City back then.]

[Her parents had been ignited amidst the cheers of these people.]

[A smile appeared on Alice’s lips.]

["I, Edoma Enweze, will bring unprecedented glory to the church!"]

[Ding! You have obtained a Spell Card: Thunder Divine Skill: Judgment]

[Ding! You have obtained a Spell Card: Thunder Divine Skill: Divine Punishment]

[Ding! ...]

Then followed a series of notifications about obtaining Spell Cards.

After the transaction was completed, it was the Master of Thunder’s turn to help Alice hide her identity. Hence, on the basis of the Thunderbolt Certificate, the Master of Thunder also granted Alice a plethora of Thunder Divine Techniques for use when acting as the Pope.

Shen Sui watched this scene, unsure how to comment.

Humor? Absurdity?

But in any case, without any help from him, Alice smoothly navigated the predicament of being unmasked by the Master of Thunder.
