Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 580 - 247 Phoenix

Naturalism Church Headquarters, council hall.

Pope, controlling the Crystal Ball, watched Wayne, who had taken the lead to enter the moon’s surface, shook his head and remarked, "He’s acting rashly; his performance makes it hard for me to believe that he possesses the spirit of a knight."

The Moon replica, known as Sky City, is one of the three great altars of the Life Alliance. Originally a sacred site of the Moonlight Church, it was shared with the Natural and Sun allies through the covenant of the Life Alliance.

It is a sharing of resources among allies.

Unlike the Misty Hidden Forest, Sky City holds extraordinary significance. The Naturalism Church may use it, but doesn’t have control over it; only a few high-ranking officials can enter and exit freely. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

The Pope, the Holy Maiden, the Great Prophet—three of the most exalted positions within the Naturalism Church.

The Great Prophet prophesied the importance of this Holy Maiden selection, spouting a bunch of grand truths, whether true or false no one knows—it wasn’t the first time he’d boasted tall tales.

Even without the Great Prophet’s say-so, once he had made a prophecy, the Pope logically and emotionally had to take it seriously and had allocated a section on the periphery of Sky City for the examination of the Holy Maiden candidates.

Therefore, while the Great Prophet held the Crystal Ball during the Nightmare Corridor, this time it was the Pope’s turn to control it.

Seeing Wayne unleash his nature, threatening and intimidating with all his might, the Pope opened his mouth to give a poor evaluation, believing that Wayne lacked knightly spirit.

Nonsense!

Saina sneered at this judgment; how could Wayne lack knightly spirit? What inappropriate thing had he done to the three Holy Maiden candidates, kissed or touched them?

None whatsoever.

He was just scaring them with words; this is called psychological tactics.

Tubie agreed highly with the Pope’s evaluation; indeed, Wayne didn’t deserve to be a knight, with degraded moral character, not a single trait that knights possess—impossible to become a God-chosen Knight.

If so, let’s deal with the Great Prophet then!

The three each had their own impudent attitudes, a bunch at odds with one another, while other high-ranking officials of The Church watched with delight in their hearts, finding the scheming among these three far more interesting than the performances of the Holy Maiden candidates.

Vice Commander Gavin was not caught up in the atmosphere; a few days ago, Saina had met with him privately and asked him to contact the Naturalist Knight, Mula.

Wayne, talented as a God-chosen Knight and the future and hope of The Church, needed protection against the Great Prophet’s possible mischief; it was crucial to meet with Mr. Mula.

Whether he passes the test or not doesn’t matter, what is important is to grasp this hope. The Church is currently in a state of deep corruption, desperately in need of infusion of fresh blood for strength. Only Gavin in the entire Naturalism Church had contact with Mula; Saina hoped he would sort it out quickly, to give the Great Prophet no time for tricks.

Saina’s intentions were crystal clear to Gavin; this woman only cared about power, claiming to be for the good of The Church but in actuality, only for her own benefit.

That said, Gavin still reached out to Mula, having great admiration for Wayne.

The first time Gavin saw Wayne, he was convinced this kid had potential, and with proper cultivation, would achieve greatness in the future.

Upon contact, Mula was playing cards on the Icebound Continent, his card partners being the Sun Knight and the Moonlight Knight, all too busy to spare any time.

Playing cards was just a euphemism; it was unreasonable for three God-chosen Knights to have nothing better to do and to go play cards on the Icebound Continent.

Involved a Divine Decree of the Goddess, the specifics of their mission were not to be disclosed; if asked, they were playing cards, and the Naturalist Knight Mula continuously lost, almost having gambled away the Elemental Mantra.

Learning that Gavin had found an outstanding junior, who might be hindered by the Great Prophet, Mula immediately stated he’d return to Church headquarters as soon as possible and told Gavin to be vigilant not to fall into another’s schemes.

Those others could refer to the Great Prophet, the Pope, Saina, or even the other Divine Oracle High Priests.

Counting it this way, it seems Gavin is the only decent one left.

After giving his remarks, the Pope waved his hand to switch the Crystal Ball’s view, shifting the camera to the other candidates.

There was nothing of interest with Wayne’s situation; unless unexpected, he would break another record. Instead of wasting time on him, it would be better to see how the other candidates were doing.

Several Divine Oracle High Priests showed their agreement because one individual was so outstanding, it elevated expectations and made the candidates they supported seem ordinary and lacking distinction.

It hurt to watch; it was better not to look.

The moon.

Veronica gazed at the blue planet, subconsciously reaching out toward the distant cosmos, her excitement turning to Wayne, only to find that he didn’t seem to show much interest in Earth.

"Wayne, what are you looking at?"

"There."

Wayne pointed to the sky where a fiery red gem was saturated with intense Fire Element, seemingly a congregation of Fire Elements, that through constant compression of mass, had turned into a physical object.

Not just any object, but a living entity.

Because of his strong Fire Elemental Affinity, Wayne could sense a life form in slumber, trying to connect with it through his mind, but was blocked by a barrier, unable to get a glimpse of its true form.

Wayne was itching to smash the barrier with a punch.

On second thought, better not; the barrier stabilized the pressure on the moon’s surface, providing air, moisture, and gravity not much different from that on the God-chosen Continent. If he actually smashed it...

It was unrealistic—had it been possible to smash, it would already be done; it wouldn’t be his turn.

"Speaking of which, this map is called Sky City; I see the sky high above, but where’s the city?" Wayne communicated to Veronica telepathically, having searched for a while without seeing any so-called city.

Veronica responded telepathically, advising Wayne not to fantasize too much. She had read about the legend of Sky City in textbooks; it was said to be the Moonlight Goddess’s palace on Earth, with extraordinary significance.
