When the Gospel Book in Ash’s possession underwent a strange transformation, sprouting vines, almost everyone made their move simultaneously!

Harvey shook his arms, chained with the Ghost King Chains, partially turning into a shadow spirit. All shadows in the palace leaped up to attack the vines; Igula snapped his fingers, his pupils blooming with blood as he instilled a strong killing intent toward the vines in everyone; Hanna immediately ripped off her amethyst pendant, transforming it into a submachine gun. Purple wings emerged on her back, with the tips of the Void Wings extending into gun muzzles, silently spewing a storm of bullets!

Yvalin lifted her leg high and hooked it downwards at supersonic speed, cleaving out waves and sending a scythe-like air current toward the vines; Nona’s body suddenly glistened, raising her hand cannon and firing bullets that could burn for a day and night; Qinna charged forward, expanding her Holy Domain to encompass the vines, the oppressive feeling almost like a hammer pounding down!

Having immersed herself in the Distant Realm for many years and attained Golden Level as a Holy Sanctuary Mage in the Space Faction, Qinna could attempt to integrate other Magic Factions into her Holy Domain. She had fused the Soul Faction into her domain, using only her magic power to suppress the souls of all creatures within, causing animals to lose their minds and plants to wither!

Facing the Gospel Book’s mutation, Ash acted quickly and without panic, converting his Seven-Colored Tail Secret Poison into phantom-colored magic power, then deployed a Three-winged level Sword Barrier to protect himself and little Banjee from the effects of other Miracles!

Boom!

Shadows, gun bullets, blazing flames, cutting wind, and soul pressure successively engulfed the vines, and the energies of different magic forms collided like a car crash, weaving together a dazzling and explosive display of fireworks!

"Ta, ta!" Little Banjee, seeing the rising air waves, excitedly raised its hands and cheered.

However, Ash, noticing the vines that had already entwined around his legs and the intact but unresponsive Sword Barrier, his pupils dilated. Seeing a small segment of vine stretching towards little Banjee, he immediately shouted, "Stop, Hanna, catch!"

Hearing him, Hanna lowerd her gun muzzle and looked up only to see little Banjee flying toward her. She immediately dropped the submachine gun and reached out to catch him, but in her rush, she lost her balance, stumbled, and fell. Her arms stretched out but failed to reach little Banjee, her heart momentarily stopping—

"You’re as agile as a moth, might as well rename you ’little pig’ instead?"

A crescent arc streaked across the sky as Yvalin, acting later but arriving first, leaped down from above, skillfully catching little Banjee with one hand and easily landing in front of Hanna, looking down disdainfully at her good friend Purple Moth.

However, the next second she also panicked, "Ah? Why is he moving like that? Hurry up and get up, bring him back!"

"Hanna!"

Ash roared from behind, but Hanna didn’t look back, simply flashing to the side to dodge a vine strike, then leaping back next to Yvalin. Taking little Banjee from her, she turned to look at the wonder in the hall and gasped in shock.

At this moment, Ash was completely covered with vines. The vines, like silk threads, wove a throne and forcibly pressed him upon it, and the autonomous vines didn’t stop there; they rapidly spread out, using him as a center to create a vine barrier, quickly forming a green spherical fortress!

Besides Ash, the vines attempted to entangle Igula, Harvey, Qinna, Yvalin, Hanna, and little Banjee. However, compared to the supreme treatment given to Ash, their service seemed as if they were freeloading without paying—utterly slow and indifferent.

"Shadows are ineffective, gun bullets are ineffective, fuel is ineffective, cutting winds are ineffective, soul pressure also can’t suppress the spirit inside, all attacks can’t damage it even slightly." Qinna stepped aside to dodge the vine’s invitation, her expression serious. "This is..."

"A wonder."

Diya, who had somehow come down from the throne, moved toward Ash. The vines didn’t reach for her, but she also couldn’t enter the barrier. These nearly invincible vines had completely isolated Ash from the outside world!

"This is a summoned wonder." Diya now could get a response from the Gospel even without using the Gospel Book, her thoughts aligning to receive the Gospel’s reply, "An unknown force is forcibly summoning Ash, transporting him to another place!"

"Why him!?" Igula asked the question that the family of a cancer patient would ask. "Why would he become the subject of a summoned wonder!?"

At this time, Ash, though immobilized, could still move his head. He saw that although the vines tried to pull the others in, their enthusiasm varied from person to person.

Yvalin, Nona, and little Banjee received the lowest level of invitation, with only a single vine chasing them; Qinna, Anfeier were slightly higher, with two to three vines chasing them; Hanna, Igula, Harvey were getting the highest level of invitation, with five to six vines circling them.

The only one not invited by the vines was the future Empress, the host of the Gospel.

Ash saw Diya’s face turn pale, revealing an epiphany, "Were we calculated by the All-knowing Weaver?"

Hearing Ash connect this most supreme title with a despicable verb, everyone was momentarily stunned. Just then, Igula suddenly picked up the stunned red-haired Angel next to him, dodging the vines that were suddenly accelerating their attack.

Anfeier blinked, "Thank you."

Once in a safe place, Igula put her down, "Be careful, don’t get others involved too."

In the Green Fortress, Ash continued, "These vines’ desire to attack you corresponds exactly to the ranking you’ve obtained in the Weaving List. Banjee, Miss Nona, and Miss Yvalin only obtained a ranking once, so only one vine chases them; Miss Qinna and Miss Anfeier have two or three rankings, thus two or three vines chase them; Hanna, although you too have only two rankings, you all hold the honor of first place, so the vines’ craving for you is the most fervent."

"But compared to me, you’re just freebies," Ash said. "This summoning wonder targeted me from the beginning, now it just wants to see if it can conveniently take a few more of those recognized by the Gospel as Resonators."

"There’s a problem," Harvey gasped after running a few steps and now looked like he would fall over with a puff of wind. "Ash, you never obtained any weaving rankings."

"But I once received the most valuable ranking at the Weaving Festival."

Ash narrowed his eyes, his voice tinged with a hint of resentment, "Hence to these vines, I’m the most valuable prey—the First Gospel, Yayin!"

At that moment, Diya was already sitting paralyzed on the ground, staring blankly at this scene.

In her mind echoed Ling Ting Angel’s mocking voice, "Will you become the Witch sought but unattainable in the fairy tale, or the happy, joyful Princess?"

At the time, she thought it was a question, but she hadn’t realized it was an answer.

Everything was intentional.

Secret Avatar, Gospel Divine Beings, Angel’s Wish, summoning wonders... even if Diya’s brain wasn’t enough, but once the White Queen and Black Butler connected these pieces of intelligence, they realized they had never stepped out of the closed loop of Gospel weaving.

Perhaps from when Ash received the Secret Avatar, the All-knowing Weaver had already woven an exclusive net for him. Firstly, situated in the Kingdom of Gospel, the All-knowing Weaver would certainly not allow him to just walk away with it—who could retrieve the Secret Avatar then?

The answer was almost inevitable: the next generation’s First Gospel.

Or rather, whoever possesses the Secret Avatar is the First Gospel. Although Diya, with the help of Sleeping Beauty and the Bronze Dragon’s blessing, briefly snatched back the position of First Gospel, Ash would also give the Secret Avatar to her willingly.

They’ve never flown out of the All-knowing Weaver’s spider web.

But this step was still not enough.

It’s unknown whether it was pre-arranged or spontaneous, but the All-knowing Weaver actually intended to ’sell’ the First Gospel—the summoning wonder couldn’t have directly attacked Ash using the Gospel Book without the permission from the All-knowing Weaver. The Gospel Book is an extension of the spider web in the Heavenly Kingdom of All-knowing!

However, although the All-knowing Weaver sold the First Gospel, he only sold a little bit.

Because the All-knowing Weaver never intended to honor a fair trade, after all, the First Gospel bore both Divine Beings and the Secret Avatar, plus being the cultural cornerstone of the Gospel Kingdom, he had too many reasons not to want it.

Just this Weaving Festival gave him a chance to sell a defective product—the current First Gospel, there are two!

Diya could even guess the All-knowing Weaver’s thinking: if the other party wants the First Gospel and didn’t specify which one, then I’ll just pick one at random, well cooked and sweet.

However, at this moment both the Gospel Divine Beings and the Secret Avatar were with her, Diya, and Ash was nothing but a hollow shell in name, but he still met the transaction requirements and could fetch a high price, how could the All-knowing Weaver not use him as a substitute for quality?

There was even a possibility—at the moment the Gospel List came out, the All-knowing Weaver had already sold the ’merchandise’ Yayin, and the other party didn’t see a problem. Who would guess a major quality issue would arise when inspecting the goods a day later?

With this thought, Ash’s brief selection by the Gospel List as the First Gospel was just like bathing a crab in a famous lake or branding ordinary clothes with designer labels, a deception ceremony that surged his value, preparing for the subsequent trade fraud!

But that was still not safe enough, so they met Ling Ting Angel in the Heavenly Kingdom of All-knowing, and Ling Ting Angel kindly gifted Diya an Angel’s Wish.

She helped Diya conceal both the Gospel Divine Beings and the Secret Avatar!

At that time, Diya considered Ling Ting Angel obnoxious in character, but believed there was still some human benevolence inside, yet this too was part of the deceit—even if Diya didn’t intend to keep this secret, Ling Ting Angel would actively conceal her Technique Spirit’s condition!

The influence of Divine Beings on Mages was too significant, without hiding the Gospel Divine Beings in Diya’s soul, they might be discovered prematurely during the transaction... thus Angel’s Wish was an inevitable accident, meant to equalize her with Ash!

Only then could it explain why the vines ignored Diya—in the perception of the summoning wonder, Diya was just an ordinary little girl, naturally not worth the effort to summon.

But one cannot deceive forever, trading with someone on the All-knowing Weaver’s level, that being must also be a grand existence of similar stature, isn’t the Weaver afraid that the other party might retaliate?

But it no longer mattered.

Diya took a deep breath, quickly exchanged thoughts with her sisters, and reached a consensus, then she concentrated her Magic Power into her soul’s ’Fairy Tale’ Technique Spirit.

The Gospel Divine Being in the ’Fairy Tale’ garden seemed to notice something, put down the Soul Summoning Technique Spirit, and quietly awaited the host’s decisive resolution.

Just as Diya tried to tear open this newly formed fairy-tale world to completely expose the Gospel Divine Being, she suddenly heard Ash’s voice, "Liss, I should be the one the All-knowing Weaver is using as the target for the summoning, right?"

Diya paused, promptly responding, "Yep! But I’ve already thought of a solution—"

"Is it a method that allows us both to stay?"

Diya slightly opened her mouth but couldn’t speak.

"Since that’s the case, I have a suggestion: you stay in the Kingdom of Gospel, find a way to firmly control the Gospel, and then come find me," Ash smiled. "Then we can go flatten the Heavenly Kingdom of All-knowing together, burn all the destiny spider webs for revenge, what do you think?"
