Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 947 - 205: Who Dares Judge Me?

"Attention all visitors, an emergency notification is being issued now:"

"Please, all personnel currently in the Holy Hall area, take note. Regardless of where you are now, whether you are alive or not, please immediately proceed to the Holy Hall for assembly."

"Please maintain order and refrain from running in the corridors to avoid being trampled."

"We have noticed a three-headed spider monster wandering the corridors of the Holy Hall. For your safety, do not feed, touch, or play with it. If any injury occurs, you will bear the consequences yourself, and the Life Divine Teachings will not compensate for any of your losses."

"Repeating: Attention all visitors, an emergency notification is being issued now:"

...

"Are you out of your mind a bit?"

Veronica held back until the broadcast ended before she couldn't help but question Ethan.

She just couldn't understand why anyone would play and frolic with such a three-headed spider monster. There's not a single part of it that could be considered cute.

Thinking of this, Veronica suddenly recalled how Ethan drove the monster away.

Indeed, only someone with such a peculiar thought process would engage in the abnormal behavior of feeding a monster.

"They're too serious; I'm helping them relieve stress."

Ethan reasoned confidently, "Of course, there's also a thoughtful reminder."

He had to point out that people's hobbies and interests are broad these days. Besides, those summoned by Carlo from different sects in the Far West include environmentalists like forest speakers and possibly insect enthusiasts or multi-headed enthusiasts among the sects.

Who knows?

"You really are compassionate."

Having spent less than an hour with Ethan, Veronica felt her knack for sarcasm had reached new heights. She thought maybe this was the best way to interact with Ethan.

Is there a chance these people were actually scared off by your "special effects" and fled?

Veronica didn't ask because she realized arguing with Ethan only left her feeling foolish and angry with herself. However, sarcasm isn't a good habit either.

Veronica, you are a Judge of the Church Court, a role model for believers. Do not pick up bad habits from inexplicable people!

She warned herself in her mind.

"Thank you, people familiar with me all say that."

In just those two words, Veronica once again found herself wide-eyed in astonishment.

Look, he even says thank you!

Does this person not know what is genuine praise and what is sarcasm?

However, after this exchange, Veronica wasn't sure if the leaders of those sects felt any less pressured, but she felt much better inside and significantly more relaxed.

Unfortunately, the reputation of the Life Divine Teachings had already plummeted to the bottom.

The pursued sect leaders were scattering and fleeing in the Holy Hall, spreading word of Carlo's deeds. Now everyone knew that the pope of the Life Divine Teachings had betrayed his faith and mercilessly attacked those who opposed him.

Doomsday, the Seventh Epoch, and the so-called path of redemption were all lies. That damn Carlo tricked them into the Crown of Dawn Cathedral to kill them!

Along the way, Veronica heard too many curses.

"Has Carlo gone mad?"

Even Veronica couldn't comprehend Carlo's crazy actions. Previously, Carlo's targeting of the Empire could be explained by hatred and ambition, but now engaging in indiscriminate slaughter at the Praise Sanctuary looked like a mental breakdown from having his secrets exposed.

"You could think of it that way."

Ethan shrugged, "But I think he's very rational now."

"Rational people don't massacre their own allies."

Veronica said.

Even she could foresee the outcome. Either Carlo would kill all the sect leaders in the Praise Sanctuary, or when they escaped and made Carlo's crimes public, the alliance Carlo built would collapse entirely. Either way, the Empire would easily win this war. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

She believed this was probably why Ethan could always remain calm and composed.

"Remember Yayouma? Before the meeting started, she stood at the church entrance with her attendants, posing like she was seeking justice."

"Carlo healed her eyes; maybe that changed Yayouma's perspective."

"Maybe it wasn't just her eyes that changed."

"What do you mean?"

"A few days ago, Carlo murdered Yayouma's attendants in the cathedral's secret chamber, but at that time, he couldn't yet master his power skillfully. Therefore, those two attendants turned into two meat cocoons, and a few days later, Carlo assembled the people he killed into a three-headed spider monster."

Upon hearing this, Veronica fell into silence.

"His proficiency has increased."

Ethan paused briefly, "So for the current Carlo, he has a third option—kill all the resistors, modify their brains, and turn them into puppets under his control."

With such an advantageous ability, Carlo might even kill those who submit to him because, under his absolute rule, he no longer needs any additional ideas and voices.

Nothing is more reliable than puppets under his control.

"Either way, this power brings Carlo a step closer to the world he envisions... So? Will you stop him before your esteemed His Holiness the Pope removes the last bit of noise?"

Ethan's tone was carefree, without a hint of tension, "If so, you'd better act quickly. Carlo should have heard my thoughtful broadcast and might be on the way to the hall right now."
