Chapter 644: Chapter 512: The Four Pillars God Sect Has Attacked (End of Volume Two)_2

Suddenly, with a muffled thud, Harvey was entangled by the vines and bundled into the Vine Fortress, placed beside Ash. Ash was baffled, "How did you get caught?"

"Tired," Harvey replied succinctly. "Wasn’t paying attention while listening to you guys talk."

"However," he paused, "I wanted to come with you in the first place."

"Why would you want to come with me?"

"Why wouldn’t I come with you?" the Necromancer retorted. "Now Alice is in Banjee’s Space Card, the Space Card is in my bag... I have nothing left in the Kingdom of Gospel."

I have nothing left in the Kingdom of Gospel, nor does the Kingdom of Gospel have anything to keep me there.

Ash understood what he meant and helplessly shook his head. He suddenly felt something and turned his head, eyes meeting with Purple Moth’s.

Hanna was holding little Banjee in her arms, her eyes filled with hesitant pain.

"Though these vines are easy to avoid, over time they still pose a danger," Ash said. "You guys should leave first."

Hanna took a deep breath, "Ash, I—"

"Hanna," Qinna suddenly said, "don’t forget, you have a Contract with me. Now you’re one of the Senheiser people, and you must return to live in Vatican Mura."

"Then let’s dissolve this Contract!" Hanna immediately said. "I have the ’Tongue of Relief’, as long as we both agree, we can dissolve it directly—"

Qinna coolly replied, "I don’t agree."

"On what grounds do you not agree?"

"On the grounds that I am your mother."

"You—"

"Hanna!" Ash suddenly shouted, and Hanna instinctively dodged to a safe position, sensing an assault from the vines.

At that moment, Hanna saw Ash wink at her mischievously.

"Don’t hesitate anymore, Miss," Ash said with a smile. "The fact that you just dodged means you’ve already made your decision. While I’m not around, help me take care of Liss. And that posture will make little Banjee uncomfortable, learn from my earlier airplane hold."

Hanna felt somewhat lost but also relieved, managing a resigned smile, "If only you had lifted the blanket that night."

Ah?

Ash was somewhat perplexed, but he was immediately caught by another person’s gaze.

Igula.

The Swindler was avoiding the vines while looking at the ground, as calm as if he hadn’t heard their conversation at all. Sensing the Cult Leader’s gaze, he raised his head and asked teasingly, "What, do you think I’d foolishly follow you to an unknown place for an adventure, like Harvey?"

Ash remained silent.

"It would be stupid to accompany you just for a wish I’m owed," the Swindler smiled. "Celebrate, for you are the only one who has escaped while owing me."

Ash remained silent.

"Moreover, I doubt there’s a better kingdom than the Kingdom of Gospel to showcase my talents," he continued. "Even if Liss doesn’t favor me, as long as she doesn’t target me, I am confident in carving out a business there. I now belong to the Three-winged Holy Realm— I have enough qualification to start a family consortium."

Ash shrugged his shoulders.

"Also," the Swindler suddenly drew closer to Anfeier, wrapping an arm around her slender waist to her astonished gaze, "just as you hoped, I can join the Belladett family, directly taking over centuries of accumulation from the Angel family... society, connections, even Fate are on my side, I have no reason not to stay in the Kingdom of Gospel."

Finally, Ash spoke up.

"Igula," the Cult Leader said, "to this point, I still can’t figure out how you’re feeling, whether you’re angry, happy, expectant, nervous, or something else... You always disguise yourself so well, I can’t guess, and don’t know what to say to you."

"But I’m very glad that the first person I met in Shattered Lake Prison was you."

"Meeting you was great, Igula," Ash said with a smile.

The smile vanished from the Swindler’s face, his peculiar gaze fixed on the Cult Leader.

At this moment, the weaving of the Vine Fortress was nearly complete, and the vines that had been chasing the Resonators outside suddenly split, accelerated, and surged forward as if their previous languid behavior was but a prelude to this burst of action!

The treachery of the vines indeed caught everyone off-guard. However, nearly everyone here was a Mage. Although the vines were nearly invincible, the floor, pillars, and walls were not, and they had plenty of ways to Displace themselves!

However, Yvalin’s heart sank at that moment— her sister Anfeier was not a Mage. This scale of vine assault was impossible for ordinary people to evade!

It’s over!

Yvalin retreated while urgently shouting, "Anfeier, hide quickly!"

"Ah!"

Hearing her sister’s scream, Yvalin glanced in the direction of the sound and witnessed a shocking scene.

Anfeier was cornered with no escape, about to be seized by the vines, but the blonde youth in front of her blocked all the tendrils for her.

"I told you to be careful, and not to get others involved."

Igula gave up resisting, letting the vines bind and drag him into the fortress. Anfeier, suddenly brimming with courage, rushed over and hugged him, pressing a light kiss amidst the Swindler’s startled gaze.

Being completely bound and unable to struggle, Igula actually let her succeed.

"I’ll pretend I’m already married to you," Anfeier said with sparkling eyes. "Remember to come back quickly and give me a home."

As Igula was dragged into the fortress, the green vines suddenly glowed with a luminous green light, and space began to warp. Ash looked around and said, "Miss Yvalin, Miss Anfeier, Lady Qinna, Lady Nona, Miss Hanna, little Banjee..."

He turned to Liss, who was sniffling and waving at him with all her might.

In the final goodbye, Diya gave the chance to the little witch Liss.

"Daddy!" Liss shouted, "I will find you!"

"We will definitely come back," Ash said.

In the next instant, the Vine Fortress collapsed to a point and disappeared from the Kingdom of Gospel.

...

"O All-Knowing and All-Powerful First Gospel, Ash Heath! Please bestow divine grace and protect all beings of the Oasis!"

Ash found the non-Four Pillars God Sect blessing surprisingly pleasant to the ear. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a magnificent and majestic palace, seated on a stone throne, with Igula and Harvey kneeling on either side of him. Their postures likely fixed by the vines.

Ash raised his head and saw sunlight refracting through the glass ceiling to illuminate the palace, along with the delicate and sacred torch stands, casting barely any shadow in the bright and clean space, feeling clear and refreshed.

The praying before them were not clad in black robes, but in rather dignified red priest gowns, with the ones in the front being old men with white beards, looking very venerable!

Not Four Pillars God Sect blessing!

Not an underground hall!

Not people in black robes!

Watching this, for some reason, Ash felt somewhat touched.

Then a red-robed priest stepped forward and respectfully knelt before them, "We welcome the arrival of the First Gospel!"

"Uh-huh." Ash exchanged a look with Igula and Harvey, instantly agreeing on a consensus—to maintain the identity of the First Gospel for now—"I have arrived."

"It’s wonderful, truly wonderful!" the red-robed priest began to cry, "First Gospel, your timing couldn’t be any more perfect!"

Ash suddenly had a bad feeling, but now as the All-Knowing and All-Powerful First Gospel, asking directly could raise suspicions, so he had to go along with the conversation, "Now that I am here, fate should turn a new Chapter."

"Exactly, with the First Gospel present, the fate of the Oasis must be rewritten!"

"The end of the villain is near!"

"The glory of tribulation shall never extinguish!"

As the red-robed priests were overcome with emotion, the palace doors thunderously burst open, and a young red-robed figure rushed in, exclaiming, "Disaster strikes—"

"Silence! The First Gospel has arrived, and the tribulation never extinguishes!" the old red-robed priest chastised with discontent, "Les, you dare to be indecorous before the First Gospel, by the doctrine—"

"Wait," Ash quickly cut in, "Do you have some news to tell?"

The young red-robed figure took a deep breath, bowed respectfully to Ash, and then said:

"The Four Pillars God Sect, the Four Pillars God Sect is coming!"
