Alice easily returned to the place where Liames was.

"This fire, did you set it?" Liames asked Alice as the first question upon seeing her.

Although it was a question, it had the tone of a statement, clearly indicating she already had an answer in mind.

Alice nodded directly, admitting it.

"You child," Liames didn't know how to evaluate Alice.

So powerful, yet so reckless.

"So, what exactly is going on with this magic circle?" Liames looked at Alice and asked seriously, "Do you need our help?"

"I'm not sure yet." Alice wasn't entirely certain about this either.

She couldn't be sure if her puppet could fool Harms.

The man could masquerade as a fervent War God believer, deceiving the War God and his hierarchy, successfully becoming a member of the Pseudo-Dusk Council's War God High Priest. Although there is indeed some relationship between the War God Church and the Pseudo-Dusk Council, it's that of a master and a dog—have you ever seen a master let a dog ride on his head?

Harms managed to do it.

Shen Sui quickly used Arianna's connections to retrieve all the information about Harms from the War God Church.

He was indeed a genuine War God High Priest.

In the records of the War God Church, Harms had always been the most steadfast believer of the War God.

Furthermore, the War God Church clearly documented his relationship with the Pseudo-Dusk Council. After becoming a bishop of the War God Church, his assigned task was to monitor the Pseudo-Dusk Council and instill the will of the War God Church leadership into the council's upper echelons.

That is to say, Harms was actually an undercover agent sent by the War God Church to the Pseudo-Dusk Council.

But according to the inner thoughts displayed through the Dueling Device, Shen Sui was very certain that this guy was Vivian's... or rather a fanatic of the Twilight Saintess. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

What he worshipped wasn't Vivian, but the deified Twilight Saintess.

And this shift in faith just happened when Harms was undercover in the Pseudo-Dusk Council.

Unlike other hereditary priests, Harms was a War God Priest who truly worked his way up from the bottom.

His parents, being the most devout believers of the War God, died on the battlefield for the War God's cause when Harms was still young.

As an orphan, Harms didn't receive any treatment befitting a hero's descendant; in the eyes of his Divinity School classmates, he was just the lowest lackey, subjected to inhumane bullying.

At that time, Harms always believed that the root of all this suffering was his lack of resolute and devout faith in the War God.

So he studied diligently, gradually becoming a powerful War God Knight, and then transitioning into a priest of the War God Church.

However, along the way, he increasingly realized that the so-called War God Church, even the so-called War God, was so hypocritical. They initiated war after war for their own interests, entirely disregarding the lives of the people under them.

The people who believed in the War God charged into battle, sacrificing their lives for the War God's cause.

Yet the priests of the War God Church naturally pocketed the lands and wealth that the followers exchanged their lives for.

During his advancement, Harms experienced numerous wars; he indeed encountered some priests genuinely dedicated to sacrificing for the War God, but what he saw more were those insects seizing benefits for themselves in the name of the War God.

He initially thought this was the decadence of the War God Church, that the War God was blinded.

However, as Harms climbed higher, he gradually discovered that the entire War God Church was fundamentally flawed.

After the Daylight Church initiated annexation wars against other divine churches, the War God Church, not to be outdone, also began wars against surrounding smaller churches.

Harms, following the War God, went through war after war.

The mighty War God Church easily defeated those small churches.

In the War God's scriptures, the meaning of war is peace, not annexation.

However, when Harms saw the War God's expression of pleasure when devouring those weaker deities, Harms' faith collapsed.

"He is not a god."

Shen Sui examined the intelligence sent over by Arianna. The purging personnel within the War God Church very faithfully recorded Harms' words and actions.

Although in the official interpretation of the War God Church, this was Harms' contemptuous term for defeated deities.

But considering Harms' performance in front of the puppet, this is more likely Harms' view of the War God.

Bargas is not a god, but merely a greedy, powerful human.

The so-called scriptures of the War God are words he uses to restrain others, not himself.

After the recent campaign to annihilate the small churches, Harms, who had lost his spiritual support, voluntarily requested relocation from the front lines.

At that time, the War God Church needed a priest with sufficient capability to handle the work concerning the Pseudo-Dusk Council. Considering Harms' loyalty to the War God Church, he was sent over.

In the official records of the War God Church, Harms' work was outstanding, and he even used members of the Pseudo-Dusk Council to collect a large number of Vivian's genuine manuscripts.

"I wondered why some of my diaries went missing!" Vivian exclaimed, eyes wide and puffing in anger, "Turns out those brats dug them up!"
