Chapter 466: 314 Chapter Asina Longs for the Purification of Master Holy Light (1)

At the former site of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, dozens of figures lay prostrate on the ground, their bodies trembling under the terrifying pressure.

They called out for the Empress and loyalty from their lips.

The dense dark clouds in the sky, the lightning that tore through the night, the thick blood-red glow... none of it resembled a righteous god.

But does it matter whether it’s a righteous god or not?

All they knew was that behind Rose Vesper stood a powerful being, an existence they could never hope to contend with, one before which even Augustus, the Pope, was but a lowly ant.

In such a situation, what choice was there but to submit? Did they no longer value their lives?

Looking at the figures kneeling all around, Rose Vesper’s body trembled slightly—not from fear, but from excitement.

This was the scene she had longed to see.

Her vanity was satisfied as never before at this moment.

What she loved most was the admiration and praise of everyone. By Lord Jie Luo’s side, using her identity as the Hero’s lover, she had once had it all. But as Lord Jie Luo passed away, everything vanished.

After the Second Generation Brave Warrior, Qin Chu, appeared, she had intended to use Qin Chu to regain the lost glory, but Qin Chu, that man lacking in taste, actually took a fancy to a lowly maid.

Instead of glory, she had lost face in front of everyone.

These matters, Rose Vesper always harbored in her heart.

But now, she had gained more.

For the first time, Rose Vesper learned of her own origins, never expecting them to be so grand.

The whole process seemed endless until, as the kneeling people around her felt their bodies and spirits on the verge of collapse, the scarlet radiance finally began to dissipate behind Rose Vesper.

The dense dark clouds in the sky also gradually faded, and the lightning and thunder ceased to appear.

The hazy starlight once again enveloped the world.

The pressure was no more, yet the crowd around her remained on their knees, looking at each other, none daring to stand.

Seeing the esteemed bishops, archbishops, and vice captains of the Holy Court in such a state, Rose Vesper felt an unprecedented satisfaction. This was the feeling she craved.

She felt as if she truly were the exalted Empress, her might echoing far and wide.

"Gentlemen, rise," she said.

Her voice, filled with dignity and pride, emanated from Rose Vesper, and after receiving her consent, more than twenty people finally stood up from the ground. They looked at Rose Vesper, who still resembled the former Holy Daughter, with a figure that had not changed at all, balanced and exquisite.

She still wore the Saintess costume, but the impression she gave was entirely different.

At that moment, Rose Vesper seemed to exude a surprising seductiveness, like a bewitching witch luring people with her enchanting features.

Sensing the crowd’s odd gaze, Rose Vesper gave a slight smile.

That smile, capable of overthrowing states and beguiling all life, made countless people’s hearts beat faster, and some even dared not look at her stunning beauty.

Then, Rose Vesper gently closed her eyes, the surprising allure slowly retracted, and after a few seconds, she once again reverted to the once innocent and pure look of the Holy Daughter.

But this change only made the crowd feel even more fearful.

Douglas, who had clearly come to regard himself as Rose Vesper’s right-hand man, had a morbidly excited expression: "Gentlemen, you all felt it, didn’t you?"

"We are merely following the will of God. Augustus is the true villain, the rebel, the evildoer!"

"That bastard has taken control of Saintess Philis, intending to manipulate Lady Losveis through her."

"We absolutely cannot let this happen."

"Let’s overthrow the Desecrator Augustus."

"Overthrow Augustus!" A group of bishops, archbishops, and Holy Knights shouted along with Douglas’s voice.

However, the divine might had already receded.

The fear from just moments ago was no longer there; these shrewd individuals already began to have lively thoughts. On the one hand, there indeed was a powerful being supporting Rose Vesper, and on the other hand, they were compromised by both Rose Vesper and Douglas, so obedience was their only option.

On another hand, they also felt that if Augustus were overthrown and Rose Vesper supported in ascending to power, what could a young girl understand?

By then, wouldn’t the Holy Court be dictated by their own words?

A group united in an alliance, each with their own hidden agendas and pleased with themselves.

"Gentlemen..." once the crowd had calmed down, Douglas spoke again, "Currently, our most important task is to locate the whereabouts of Saintess Philis and rescue the mother of the Divine Princess."

"Otherwise, if Augustus uses Saintess Philis as a hostage, we will be bound hand and foot."

"Augustus seems to have a secret chamber; it’s very likely that Saintess Philis is imprisoned there."

Mother?

This appellation made Rose Vesper frown intensely.

She had been motherless from childhood, raised by nuns.

The word ’mother’ was very foreign to her. Although Saintess Philis seemed to be a formidable person, she had no emotional attachment to her.

She even felt an inexplicable irritation, and an unbidden thought arose deep within her: how wonderful it would be if her blood were not tainted with the dirty human lineage of Saintess Philis, but solely that of the divine.
