Stacking BUFFs, huh!?

The destructive power of this thing... just how exaggerated will it be!!?

...

Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

Underground. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Anna paced back and forth in the monotonous room, a little uneasy.

Actually.

She had just guessed what happened when Tang Language barged in, saying someone was continuously affecting everyone at the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.

She had already guessed whose method this is.

... That malicious, most talented Inquisitor of the century——Catherine.

But in the end, she chose not to tell the truth.

Because, after all, although she became a prisoner, although she does not like the Inquisition... she is still a part of the Russian Orthodox Church.

She understood very well, whether it’s Catherine or the potentially involved Ivan and Yevgeny, they were all working for the interests of the Russian Orthodox Church.

So she chose to remain silent.

Only.

As time went by.

No one came to find her... neither the people from the Chamomile Alliance nor those from the Celestial Strategy Mansion came.

This made her a bit restless.

Because she had no idea what the situation outside was like.

Did Catherine succeed?

This question, or rather this worry, kept lingering in her mind.

"No... since they dared to act in the Imperial Capital, they must have thought it over carefully."

Anna was pacing and suddenly stopped, she thought of something: "And Catherine’s ability is virtually unstoppable; only a few from Celestial Strategy could block her. If enough attention is drawn, then Ivan and Yevgeny could seize the Celestial Punishment Weapon..."

She murmured to herself, the gloom on her face began to fade, and her gaze slowly became determined: "Yes, as long as..."

Thud—

Before she could finish speaking.

A dull sound suddenly echoed beside her.

She was startled and quickly turned her head, her pupils dilating suddenly.

... Ivan and Yevgeny were soaked, shivering with cold, curling up on the floor.

Meanwhile, before she could react.

Crack—

The room door was suddenly pushed open.

Shanli pushed Ji Xin, appearing at the door.

"I don’t know whether to call you all foolish... or arrogant."

Ji Xin looked at the three members of the Russian Orthodox Church in the room with a cold expression: "Despite having a pact, you dared to act in the Imperial Capital, and not some small action, but choosing to openly rob."

"..."

Anna heard this and realized something, her pupils trembled, she was just about to speak.

"A prisoner who doesn’t understand their situation, yet thinks about their foolish faith."

Ji Xin suddenly looked at Anna and continued: "An old fool who wants to prove their insignificant faith, a conceited and indecisive loser.

Do you even understand what your actions mean?"

"... A bet lost is a bet admitted."

At this time, Yevgeny, curled up on the ground, heard Ji Xin’s evaluation, struggled to lift his head, and laughed miserably: "We lost, whatever you say is right, but you can’t question our faith, Catherine Judge will succeed, and by then the Pope..."

Ji Xin, expressionless, interrupted directly: "Judge? Pope? I’ll bring their bodies back later so you can reunite."

Yevgeny’s eyes widened: "..."

"It seems you really don’t know what you’ve done."

Ji Xin looked at Yevgeny, suddenly pulled a corner of his mouth, and mocked: "The moment you decided to act, the pact was gone, Celestial Strategy Mansion and the Russian Orthodox Church are now at a point of no return.

You have a devout faith, and can do anything for it, but have you ever thought that, because of your actions, the symbol of your Russian Orthodox Church, the Pope, will die tragically under everyone’s gaze? Then, how many people will still maintain their faith?"

Yevgeny shuddered violently.

"Your heart is with the church."

Ji Xin looked at Anna again: "But didn’t you think, regardless of their success, the Celestial Strategy Mansion will retaliate? Because all the Empowerer organizations are watching, even without conditions, we will forcibly retaliate, because in this case, as the provoked party, we have no room to retreat.

Moreover, we also have the conditions... your silence directly sank the last chance of turning things around, you will spend your life in this small space, and the church you care about will become a joke."

Anna also shuddered violently.

Yevgeny murmured: "Impossible... impossible... that’s impossible!!!"

"Impossible? If you like the Celestial Punishment Weapon so much, have you thought about the fact that once a weapon is successfully deployed, a more powerful model will follow?"

Ji Xin mocked with a calm expression: "And thanks to you fools, now all Empowerer organizations in the world are watching us, they are watching the Celestial Punishment Weapon, we have to respond, and we have to respond with the Celestial Punishment Weapon as strongly as possible, because only this can dispel most people’s unwanted ideas.

You have directly turned the Russian Orthodox Church and the Pope you respect into a backdrop for the real unveiling of the Celestial Punishment Weapon."

Upon hearing this, Yevgeny, Ivan, and Anna shuddered violently, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

As for Anna, her knees weakened, and she collapsed to the ground.

Almost immediately, she thought of Chen Lu Si’s last strike and trembled all over.

The other two, though they hadn’t witnessed it personally... they had heard of it, and had seen the power of the ordinary Celestial Punishment Weapon.

So, the real Celestial Punishment Weapon... just how exaggerated will it be!?

"In addition."

Ji Xin paused, looking at the three calmly: "You think that bringing the Celestial Punishment Weapon back to the Russian Orthodox Church will make us afraid to act? Haven’t you thought about why we’re confident to deploy such an important weapon?"

Yevgeny suddenly looked up, realizing something, his lips trembling, his face turning pale.

"Because such a weapon, let alone you, even we cannot replicate it internally, this weapon... is entirely dependent on Chen Lu Si. Only he can manufacture the Celestial Punishment Weapon, and even if you bring it back to the Russian Orthodox Church, it would only be a one-time use, you never had a chance to succeed from the beginning."

Ji Xin’s tone was very calm.

Yet the words pierced the hearts of all three like a sharp blade.

A killing blow to the heart.

It turns out... it turns out...

Anna let out a bitter laugh, at this moment, she felt that she and Ivan... really were clowns.

"Congratulations."

Ji Xin finally said coldly: "You’ve successfully become the ’celebrity’ who sparked the war between the Celestial Strategy Mansion and the Russian Orthodox Church, and for the rest of your lives, you’ll remain in a twenty square meter room.

There is no Spirit here, no entertainment, I’ll separate you all, you won’t even be able to find anyone to talk to, all you can do is converse with yourself and regret everything you did today.

And the only way for you to atone is to write down everything you know about the Sheepskin Technique Sealing Method, in detail, so that I can give you a quick end."

After speaking.

She then waved her hand directly.

And Shanli stepped forward to close the door.

Anna and Ivan, seeing this scene, turned pale, their bodies swaying, feeling nothing but... despair.

In the room, Yevgeny, who had been muttering ’impossible,’ suddenly shivered, immediately jumped up, and wanted to stop: "You can’t do this!!! Ji Xin Celestial Strategy!!! You can’t do this!!!"

Bang—

But Shanli shut the door firmly.

Yevgeny rushed to open the door.

But the moment he dashed out... in the next second, he reappeared inside the room.

Yevgeny, unwilling to give up, constantly tried.

"We can show sincerity!! We can do something!! Please don’t act against the Russian Orthodox Church!!"

"This time it was our problem!! We can do anything!! Let’s talk first!!"

"Ji Xin Celestial Strategy!!!"

But no matter how many times he tried, he couldn’t leave the room.

His desperate howls echoed endlessly within the small room, reaching no one’s ears.

...

At the same time.

When the matter in Imperial Capital spread, most local Empowerers, as well as external Empowerer organizations, wondered what the Celestial Strategy Mansion would do this time.

Xia Yue reported this operation, which was reported layer by layer, and finally reached an unfathomably high level... and was ultimately approved.

Half an hour later, the two appeared at the border line.
