Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1219 - Chapter 1219 Chapter 375 The Use of the Jar_3

Chapter 1219: Chapter 375: The Use of the Jar_3 Chapter 1219: Chapter 375: The Use of the Jar_3 She was a young girl with gray hair, pleasant features, and a nice figure and demeanor.

Looking at her delicate skin, she seemed like a young mistress from a wealthy family.

This cultivator’s robe was also quite interesting.

Despite its ostensibly loose design, it cleverly featured a low-cut neckline that allowed a glimpse of the white peaches at her chest.

The skirt had a clever opening on one side, covered by black gauze. When standing, it wasn’t very noticeable, but when she crouched, it would reveal almost an entire beautiful leg and a large part of her buttocks to the air.

She looked like a sensual hostess from a pleasure house, but was somehow also imbued with Silver Moon Divine Power, giving off a sacred light that presented a visual conflict of both holy and sensual allure.

From Leonard Churchill’s angle, he could catch glimpses of spring scenery from both above and below, yet couldn’t see everything entirely.

He had to admit, even he found the attire quite captivating.

The female Believer didn’t mind Leonard Churchill’s scrutinizing gaze at all, and even her face, filled with devout faith, did not hide the hint of pleasure as she held a Moon Cross in her hands, her bright eyes shining with devotion as she said, “Great Lord Arachne grants us joy and happiness, and we cordially invite you to attend our prayer meeting…”

“Oh?”

Leonard Churchill showed no sign of objection and reached out to touch, feeling the soft flesh beneath his fingers.

Such a disrespectful act would have provoked anger and embarrassment in a normal young lady from a proper household.

But the Believer before him truly showed no resistance, wearing a dazed expression that seemed to invite any conduct.

In her eyes, there was only fanaticism and devotion to the God, and she continued, as if reciting scripture, “Sir, Natasha sincerely invites you to join the Church, to become one of Lord Arachne’s most faithful Believers… The Great God will grant us joy and happiness…”

It appeared that if Leonard Churchill was willing, he could even venture his hand into any corner of the woman’s tender body before him.

“…”

Seeing this, Leonard Churchill felt no flicker of romantic temptation; instead, he felt solemn.

The person before him no longer felt like a human being, but rather a tool without any autonomy.

Like puppets pulled by strings, the Believers were manipulated by the God.

Leonard Churchill had long been aware of the dangers of faith pollution, but witnessing this scene still made him feel uncomfortable.

If the whole world became Divine Believers, then life would be too dull.

…

The entire City of Thieves was now like this.

Few, it seemed, could refuse such a method of proselytizing.

Leonard Churchill didn’t wish to complicate matters and replied, “Alright, if I’m free tomorrow, I’ll come have a look at your Church…”

Only then did the Believer depart, satisfied.

Leonard Churchill watched her retreating figure, his eyes momentarily stiffening.

Turning away, he shifted his attention to the propaganda material she had left behind.

Having seen plenty of internal documents from the Silver Moon Sect, Leonard Churchill didn’t expect anything remarkable from these materials. However, before even flipping to the first page, something caught his eye.

“Huh?”

Leonard Churchill flipped through it.

The front page of the propaganda material featured an image enhanced with “Holy Light Skill,” depicting a woman with a bright moon behind her, wearing a diaphanous moonlight gown, and her face covered.

Even without seeing her face, one could imagine countless fantasies and tell that she was an extraordinarily beautiful woman.

Of course, she was the “Moon God” of the Silver Moon Sect.

Leonard Churchill was familiar with this image.

During his undercover work, he had seen the Silver Moon Leader posing as this figure.

It was said to be Montini, the queen of the Mad King Augustus.

Maybe the Moon God assumed this appearance before humankind?

Leonard Churchill thought the likeness quite matched common aesthetics but also felt no particular interest in it.

And the once forbidden name amongst the Federation, ‘Master of Dreams and Pleasure’ Arachne, was also printed outright there.

Leonard Churchill was not surprised to see this.

But what was strange was that below it, there was another deity’s name: Lagros.

“Elemental Sovereign Lagros?! Isn’t that one of the ‘Seven Catastrophes Monarchs,’ the seven Outer Gods that led to the downfall of the Taron Dynasty?”

Leonard Churchill confirmed several times that he was not seeing things.

On the promotional flyer, right below the name of the Silver Moon Goddess, was a distinct title called “Moon God’s Retainer”!

The Moon God’s Retainer?

Leonard Churchill realized the moment he saw the title that it was as if a heavy hammer had struck his brain.

Others might not know what the taboo was referring to, but Leonard was crystal clear!

The Seven Outer Gods of the ‘Seven Catastrophes Monarchs’, each of them no less than the deities of the Silver Moon, had become Divine Retainers?

Just one look at this flyer was enough for the Silver Moon Believers to directly associate the name with the guards of their worshipped God.

Hiss… what on earth does the Silver Moon Goddess intend to do?

Downgrading an enemy of God Tier to her own retainer?

…

Leonard thought he must have misunderstood.

He quickly finished the few thin pages of the flyer, but in the end, he still confirmed that what he saw was indeed the message the Silver Moon Sect wanted to convey.

Had that ‘Elemental Sovereign*Lagros’ truly become a subordinate of the Moon God in the Silver Moon Sect?

Under such an absurd reality, Leonard felt sure that the Moon God must have some intention.

This way, both deities could receive the power of belief from their followers.

But the rank of the Moon God was evidently higher than that of Lagros…

Suddenly, he thought of something, and his gaze trembled, “Could it be…”

Leonard recalled the Pleasurable Dreamscape during his stay in Talon Mechanical City, the Moon God’s Descent.

Sophia Jones had said at that time that the Moon God’s successful descent wasn’t just with the help of millions of Spirit Mediums sacrificed.

There was also a “Jar”!

Now, seeing the divine title printed on the flyer, Leonard was almost certain that it must be the jar that sealed the Outer God, Lagros!

With this thought, he guessed something and murmured to himself, “So it seems, the New King of Orlan must have gotten the scheme from the Talun Era to deal with the ‘Seven Catastrophes Monarchs’…”

Leonard might not understand this method.

But from the current intelligence, it’s definitely not something these small card masters from East Wilderness could tamper with.

It could only be a method left over from the Talun Era.

And thinking further, the White Family was the head of the Royal College of Science during the Talun Era, and the ‘God Stealer’ Sequence was adept at stealing Faith Divine Power…

Considering all this, Leonard felt his guesses were very close to the truth.

“Hiss… if belief can truly resolve the contamination of the Outer Gods, that does seem like a feasible method?”

Leonard suddenly began to understand the thoughts of the Mad King Augustus from three thousand years ago.

The power of card masters can’t annihilate Outer Gods, defeating faith with faith seems to be the only choice?

The Seven Catastrophes Monarchs were too powerful back then, and this method might not have been effective.

But now, with Taren Dynasty’s collapse three thousand years ago, all beliefs have turned to dust, the seals of the Seven Catastrophes Monarchs are either broken or vanished… the threat has reached its lowest.

If it’s indeed possible to steal and change Divine Power, and get rid of several Outer Gods… that really is a good method.

In this way, the Orlan Royal Family acquired a powerful Protector Moon Goddess, and the threat of the “Jar” is gone.

It’s killing two birds with one stone.

As Leonard realized this, it was like he understood many things at once, and thought to himself, “Could it be that people from the Holy Church in the Southern Continent collecting jars are also doing this for the same reason?”

He felt that the Moon God Arachne placing her own name at the forefront and the Outer Gods in the position of “Divine Retainers” was not just about restoring herself. There was obviously a hierarchy of plane ranks involved, and there might be other hidden details.

His intuition told Leonard that this might involve some method of advancing the rank within the God Tier?

Now, looking at the flyer again, Leonard faintly saw the outline of Orlan Royal Family’s arrangements and muttered to himself, “Speaking of which… I have two jars on me, could they be of use?”

Perhaps they could.

But not now.

Just as Leonard was thinking, suddenly the entire Floating Airship began to rumble and sway.

The passengers in the gondola were in a panic, but Leonard instantly realized something and looked out.

Far in the distance outside the window pane, from within the White Family’s estate, an explosive wave akin to a volcanic eruption was visibly sweeping across the entire City of Thieves.

After the gondola shook violently for a few seconds, he finally heard a “rumbling” blast near his ears.

The barrier was probably destroyed; the noise of the battle had become impossible to conceal.

Leonard’s pupils shrank as he watched in the distance, a White Dragon brightly shining amidst celestial clouds, with a Golden Armor clad Lady Valkyrie standing imposingly in front of it.

And facing this duo, Immortal Aegis Animals such as the worm, crow, fox, bear, tiger, crane, mouse… dozens appeared as if facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing this, Leonard grinned, “Tsk tsk, so they really did start fighting…”
