[Moreover, it was the type of puppet she excelled in making the most—self-destructive puppet.]

[As for the puppet's appearance, didn't she have a ready-made model right at hand?]

[Alice glanced at the girl Vivian beside her and blinked.]

"No objections, right?" Shen Sui looked at Vivian beside him, "Using your image."

Vivian propped her face with her hand and said with interest, "Sounds like fun."

No wonder self-destructive puppets were Alice's specialty. With enough materials, it didn't take long for Alice to transform this blob of liquid in front of them into a self-destructive puppet.

Considering that this mass of liquid contained a potion that would explode once it left her perception, Alice thoughtfully placed a miniature parasite puppet at the core of this puppet for monitoring and control.

When the time was right, Alice would only need to command the miniature puppet to self-destruct to trigger the explosion of the self-destructive puppet.

A self-destructive puppet with considerable explosive power.

An explosive potion with considerable explosive power.

Combined with the blood polymer, infused with powerful forces, born from the souls and lives of hundreds of adventurers and countless advanced magical materials.

The combination of these three elements created an unprecedented super bomb.

[Ding! You've obtained the Follower Card: Liquid Bomb Puppet Barbara]

[Alice shaped the puppet into Vivian's likeness.]

[Alice's craftsmanship was impeccable; to outsiders, it appeared as a lifelike presence.]

"Hmm, not enough," Vivian grinned, lightly tapping the table as if giving orders to someone.

Soon, Shen Sui saw Vivian's action through the dueling device.

[The girl Vivian clothed the puppet in a layer of Candlelight Illusion.]

"Good grief," Shen Sui exclaimed, "What if they really believe you've resurrected?"

"Wouldn't that be even better?" Vivian winked at Shen Sui.

Shen Sui silently mourned for those people.

["Alright, we should leave." Alice detected someone approaching quickly through the miniature puppet.]

[Alice swiftly departed with the girl Vivian.]

[In no time, a group of well-equipped Church Knights arrived at the scene.]

[They were not shocked by the devastation before them, instead, they expertly formed ranks and surrounded the site.]

[Alice clearly saw all of this through the puppet she left behind.]

[She moved swiftly through the flames, heading towards where Liames and the others were.]

[Using the miniature parasite puppet, Alice manipulated Barbara's body, raising her head slowly in the direction the knights appeared, assuming the stance of the greatest who had just awakened.]

[A figure appeared in the puppet's view.]

["Master Harms!" the leading knight shouted respectfully.]

[Harms initially walked over leisurely, but when he saw the red-haired girl standing in the center of the magic array, he instinctively paused.]

[His expression fluctuated several times, appearing puzzled, then terrified, yet somehow ecstatic.]

[Ultimately, all of his expressions transformed into an indescribable frenzy.]

[Harms quickly rushed to the puppet, kneeling down almost in a sliding motion.]

["Have you truly been resurrected, Great Twilight Saintess!" Harms seemed trying to kiss the puppet's toes.]

[Alice controlled the power within the puppet to block Harms's forward-leaning body and said in a cold tone, "War God Church?"]

[Harms's face changed several times; his body was stiff in that moment. Then, like a madman, he suddenly stood up, stretched out his arms, and shouted fervently, "No! It is the Twilight Council!"]

[Alice momentarily didn't know how to respond to this question and finally decided to use the tone of the top experts from novels she had read, slowly saying, "Ha, interesting."]

[After doing all this, Alice, still a little guilty, looked at the girl Vivian beside her and asked, "I say, was your tone that way when you spoke?"]

[The girl Vivian gave a standard answer: "I don't know."]

["Huh? Wasn't that you?" Alice couldn't believe it.]

["For the current me." The girl Vivian pointed at herself and said, "That's the future me. How would I know how the future me will speak?"]

["Uh... Won't that give us away?" Alice started to fret, considering simply detonating the puppet now. This guy named Harms seemed quite high-ranking.]

[Having never met the real Vivian, she naturally didn't know how to mimic the legendary Twilight Saintess accurately. If exposed due to incorrect portrayal, they might end up empty-handed.]

[These high-level individuals were very shrewd and wouldn't give you any chance for mutual destruction once they realized something was wrong.]

[However, the girl Vivian provided a different answer, "That might not be the case. They might not know what the real Twilight Saintess looks like."]

["How is that possible?" Alice said in disbelief.]

["You're underestimating human forgetfulness," the girl Vivian said, "Those names left in history will sooner or later turn into mere textual symbols with time. You know their deeds, their abilities, but you have no way of knowing their mannerisms and speech habits. Even for those long-lived who experienced it themselves, memory can become distorted over time."]
