My Stubborn Soul Card Follower-Chapter 602 - 436: Pirate Queen of the Seas

They had long been tired of the church’s control over the entire Juhai City.

But what they never expected was that after Alice came ashore, she not only attacked the Thunder Church but also turned her sights on them.

Logically, the fleets and soldiers sent out should still have been loyal to them. However, under Alice’s precise troop distribution, the nobles ended up scattered within Alice’s fleet among the pirates under her command.

And the pirates gave up on plundering the civilians, leading to a large number of civilians turning against the noble areas to reckon with those nobles who oppressed them daily, leaving those under the nobles in an awkward position.

In such a scenario, if they stood out in opposition, they would immediately become the next target for the maddened pirates and civilians nearby.

People often follow the crowd, especially in such situations.

So many of those originally under the nobles simply defected under such circumstances and even became guides, leading the pirates towards their own masters to prevent future retribution from their employers.

Shen Sui was dumbfounded as he watched the assault on Juhai City by Alice displayed on the Dueling Device.

This could no longer be described as easy. After Alice precisely destroyed Juhai City’s magic weapon, the entire assault became unimpeded, with the pirates easily breaking into the noble areas, and then into the church.

As the main source of income for the church, the bishop stationed here was naturally not to be underestimated. However, Alice showed no mercy, launching a cannon barrage from the Dawn, shattering the church’s defense array with fireball techniques mixed with dawn power.

Then, there was the encirclement of the twelfth-level bishop.

What happened next was the most disgraceful event on the scene.

Alice directly pulled out the Treasure Card Magic Guidebook that Shen Sui had given her, drew Martina from within, and used the Holy Authority Staff for a direct summoning.

She thought the cards sealed projections of Martina and her kind, but in reality, Shen Sui had inscribed a space array on the Treasure Card, summoning Martina’s true form.

"Why is it me?" Martina looked reluctant, she didn’t like going out, especially such a large interdimensional excursion. She never expected that Alice would summon her first.

Shen Sui thought for a moment and said, "It should be because of the seaside."

Of course, glancing at Alice’s true thoughts, this little girl really did plot it out.

Summoning Martina was not only due to Juhai City being a coastal city where a mermaid could be more effective, but also to gain the trust of the captured Sea Race.

I’ve summoned your Guardian God; surely, you now believe in my good intentions towards you?

Martina sighed and eventually complied with the summoning to help Alice out.

Martina, although she never had much desire for battle and was never a combatant in the Twilight Council, wasn’t weak—she just didn’t want to fight.

The moment this Mermaid Lady appeared, it signified the end of the siege battle.

Unfortunately, perhaps the opponent was too weak, and Martina didn’t bring a new form for Shen Sui.

["Hmph! What’s a mere fourteenth-level!" The bishop of the ailing Juhai City showed a ferocious expression.]

[He could never allow the Juhai City entrusted to him by the church to fall into others’ hands!]

[Martina’s expression turned serious: "He seems to be planning to use his life to call the Master of Thunder."]

["Hahahahaha!" The bishop let out a manic laugh, "The thunder of the Lord will destroy this city that has betrayed Him!"]

[Alice blinked.]

["What’s going on?" A majestic voice, like a thunderclap, appeared in Alice’s ear.]

[The thunderstorm in the sky churned, seemingly about to deliver divine punishment at any moment.]

[Alice smiled at the bishop, who had a look of disbelief, then respectfully replied, "A bishop was dissatisfied with the election result and rebelled against me. I am quelling the rebellion to better implement the Lord’s rule over Roland. I didn’t expect him to disturb the Lord before dying; I am utterly guilty!"]

["Hmph!"]

[The Master of Thunder let out a cold snort, and with a powerful current, the bishop who summoned Him was reduced to ashes.]

[Alice was stunned. She didn’t expect the Master of Thunder to strike the bishop down to nothing but ashes.]

[The next moment, the churning thunderclouds dissipated, leaving a decree from the Master of Thunder in Alice’s mind.]

["He seemed to have helped you and even gave you a divine decree?" Martina was also dumbfounded.]

[Alice nodded, feeling the information from the Master of Thunder in her mind.]

["Eh? What did He say?"]

[Alice raised her hand, and a surging thunder appeared in her palm: "As the Pope of the church, no rebellion should be tolerated. He thought I, as the Pope, was too weak, allowing the opponent to sacrifice life to summon the gods, so He granted me a portion of Thunder Divine Power..."]

[Ding! Your Soul Card has gained a new form: Thunder Pope Adoma]

Oh, this guy, Adoma’s form has appeared at this moment?

Why? Is it because of the Master of Thunder’s approval?

Shen Sui was speechless; what kind of nonsense is this?

Master of Thunder, are you stupid! Did you just believe this without investigating?

Oh... Alice seems to have legitimately become Pope through election, so from the perspective of the Master of Thunder, Alice is indeed legitimate.

Then it’s nothing, just that Alice played her cards way too well.

["He also said..." Alice looked at Martina with a helpless smile and said, "that a disaster like what happened a thousand years ago at the Thunder Church cannot happen again. What happened to the Thunder Church a thousand years ago?"]

This piece of history is something the church never wants to mention, and it’s normal for Alice not to know as she’s not a true member of the Thunder Church.

Simply put, the Twilight Bishop sparked an internal strife within the Thunder Church, easily disintegrating its rule over the Roland Empire. During the showdown, they lured the Master of Thunder to appear, successfully killing Him.

Actually, with Shen Sui’s power back then, it wasn’t necessary to go through such trouble to force out the Master of Thunder. But CG achievements were extra quests in the game, serving as challenges for veteran players.

"That fool, to prevent a church split, actually helped someone who intended to annihilate the entire Thunder Church. He even granted her divine power..." Vivian, seeing all this, was also speechless.

It was already something the Master of Thunder didn’t notice Martina, as she naturally possesses concealment abilities. But the fact that he actually directly supported the enemy was beyond Vivian’s expectations.

Being a leader and supporting the enemy, are you, the Master of Thunder, a logistics captain?

Shen Sui wasn’t concerned about the Master of Thunder’s actions. He was more contemplating if the new form was suitable to be used publicly, as using it might expose the relationship between Alice and Adoma.

However, the moment Alice was granted divine power by the Master of Thunder, she became the true Thunder Pope, regardless of any trial completion.

Of course, that’s for later. Right now, Alice can start enjoying her victory fruits.

Alice’s strong stance in destroying the Thunder Church awed all the pirates.

In the church’s underground water prison, Alice successfully rescued the Sea Race members captured by the church and easily gained their trust through Martina.

["Why did they capture you?" Alice asked curiously as she looked at the scarred Sea Race warriors.]

[The leading Sea Race general respectfully said to Alice, "They planned to train us into death warriors under their control to attack Dragon Island."]

[Alice made a mental note of this matter.]

[Under the support of pirates, civilians, and the Sea Race, Alice declared her rule over Juhai City.]

[Ding! You have obtained the Event Card: Fall of Sea City]
