"Bonnie, did you join the Light of Redemption organization?"

Bozo’s deep voice echoed.

"Yes, father."

"You tipped off the Thorn Church about the next meeting location of the Light of Redemption, in the abandoned Storm Church?"

"...Yes."

"Why did you do this?"

Bozo’s brow furrowed tightly, his face full of anger, and strands of electricity almost shot from his eyes!

Bonnie’s joining the new organization created by Redeemer Nur was something Bozo disapproved of, although it wasn’t enough to make him furious.

But Bonnie’s betrayal of the Light of Redemption to the Thorn Church enraged Bozo greatly.

This was a blatant betrayal!

Even if he had reservations about some of Nur’s methods, Bozo thought those were internal issues.

Now, they should set aside their differences and unite against the common enemy, the Thorn Church. This was also why he had been urging Leader Boras to consider the overall situation.

Yet now, he faced betrayal from his own daughter.

"Do you know that Boras secretly went to this secret gathering? Because of your betrayal, Lord Boras is also in danger! According to information from the Wind Speaker, Nur suddenly defected to the Thorn Church!"

Bonnie looked up in shock.

"Why exactly? Whom are you praying to?" Bozo asked again, frowning.

Bonnie bit her lip and said nothing.

Bozo slowly raised his hand, but after a while, he sighed and lowered it.

Bozo felt guilt towards his ill-fated daughter. Even if, in his eyes, she had committed a heinous crime, he could only try to make amends.

"Bonnie, I’m going out for a while. I only hope you cherish your life and choose your beliefs carefully. Goodbye, child."

As she watched her father’s departing back, Bonnie’s heart trembled, and she asked softly, "Father, where are you going?"

"I’m going to the battlefield to rescue Lord Boras."

"You’ll die."

"Even if I die, I’ve fulfilled my duty."

Bozo’s voice was deep and unequivocal.

However, a young man’s voice echoed in the room:

"No, by willingly going to your death, you’re precisely abandoning your mission!"

In the next second, a strong spatial fluctuation appeared in the secret chamber, and a purple vortex-like portal formed.

A young man in white stepped out from the purple vortex Light Gate.

"Is this... a Summoned Creature? No, with Bonnie’s form of prayer and sacrifice, it can’t be an ordinary Summoned Creature! Which Evil God’s envoy are you?"

In an instant, Bozo voiced several different guesses.

It seemed that different backgrounds in the Spirit Realm meant different forms of Source Lord’s descent, all aimed at making it easier for the Natives to accept.

The Original Sin World had Summoning Magic and the Divine Descent Technique for praying for divine grace, so Bozo’s guesses weren’t exactly wrong.

Because Bai Pu’s entrance resembled the initial version of a "Divine Descent."

"I’m not some Evil God’s envoy, just a traveler from an Otherworld."

Bai Pu chose his words carefully, "Last time, I saw Bonnie during the Suffering Ceremony."

"Suffering Ceremony... You’re the mysterious person who saved Bonnie?"

Bozo’s heart was mixed with complex emotions.

The young man before him saved Bonnie’s life, allowing him to reunite with his daughter. Just for this, Bozo felt he needed to thank him.

However, upon examining his daughter’s condition, Bozo discovered that Bonnie’s body had already merged with a highly active Exotic Energy! This energy carried an Evolutionary Instinct, potentially turning Bonnie into a hideous, mindless Mutant Monster.

Fortunately, this Evolutionary Instinct was under someone else’s control.

Thus, Bonnie hadn’t been affected by the Evolutionary Instinct.

But the issue arose again, proving one thing: Bonnie’s life and death were in someone else’s hands, making her a bona fide Slave.

This gave Bozo an instinctive aversion towards "Bonnie’s master."

The young man in front was his daughter’s master. What intentions did he have, turning his daughter into a Slave?

The answer was likely only one: to use his daughter.

With this thought, Bozo’s gratitude dissipated almost completely.

He just wanted Bai Pu to teach his daughter how to control the Evolutionary Instinct and then remove the control over her!

But the situation didn’t allow it; now he was in a rush to save Boras and had no time to spar with Bai Pu.

"You just said my willingly going to die is abandoning my mission... What do you mean?" Bozo asked.

"It’s literal, nothing difficult to understand."

Bai Pu said calmly, "I learned about the general situation while drifting through space. Now that Nur has defected, Boras’s downfall is certain, and the Thorn Cutter is at a critical juncture. At this time, as one of the three leaders, is it your duty to die, to accompany Boras in death? Very well, the Thorn Church will surely applaud you."

"The organization has no hope, Lord Boras is dead, Nur has defected, and the Thorn Church’s power will grow stronger. Even if I survive, I cannot lead the Thorn Cutter to victory," Bozo said, dejected.

"That’s not necessarily true. Your power alone is limited, but what about adding Bonnie? And me?" Bai Pu said.

Bozo scrutinized Bai Pu: "Your strength is indeed formidable. I cannot see through it; it feels like facing the Bound. But even with you, you’re not an opponent. You have no idea how terrifying the Two-Faced Man and the Melt Gold Giant are! Besides, Nur also possesses a Holy Artifact..."

"I never said I was going to support Boras."

Meeting Bozo’s incredulous gaze, Bai Pu smiled slightly, "The Thorn Church deployed two Lords... oh no, it should be one Lord and one Lord Level puppet colossus. Along with several Bishops and Holy War Legion Commanders, right? Meaning their main base is quite empty."

"You mean... to attack the Thorn Church’s undefended city branches?"

"No, I mean to attack the Thorn Church Headquarters!"

Bai Pu stared at Bozo, speaking in a deep voice, "Now, the Thorn Church Headquarters is left with only one Lord Level force... the Bound, right? We should gather the elite forces of the Thorn Cutter and swap bases with the Thorn Church!"

Bai Pu’s proposition was so bold that Bozo didn’t immediately grasp it.

Once he realized, he shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no. Not to mention how powerful the Bound is, or how many forces he commands. The fact that the Thorn Church Headquarters is guarded by Our Lady of Thorns makes us no match."
