Chapter 1063: Chapter 256: The Demon in His Mind

Ethan was very disappointed in the Holy City’s Law Department because he found these people not very scientific.

Even though they were the people of Messiah, the Lord of Holy City, their scientific spirit was even inferior to the people living in the Magic Realm—after clearing up the misunderstanding, now the residents of the empire could manage not to worship him as a god, except some tricky individuals would shout "In the name of Ethan" during a charge, and there were also people who would go to the city’s cathedral and silently recite his name, but everything else was as usual.

Just as he said, you cannot declare someone a Divine Spirit just because they emit golden light.

That person might also just have worked in a kitchen for a while, or learned a few simple elemental magic spells.

"Then what if... that person not only emits golden light, but the light can also resurrect people, shield them from bullets, and even without any tools can read everyone’s thoughts?"

A young Law Department employee raised an objection.

Such a difficult individual!

Ethan glared at him, but before he could speak, Black Baldy proactively said, "Obviously, Mr. Ethan is not the Lord of Holy City, and from now on, do not bring up this topic in front of him!"

See, this is the reason why Black Baldy could become Chief Prosecutor; he has freed himself from fanatic belief and returned to rationality.

"I don’t think so."

The black cat on the table mischievously told Ethan, "Behind the scenes, that black egg tells his subordinates, although he doesn’t know why you deny your identity as the Holy Master, he firmly believes this is part of your plan and orders everyone to cooperate with your act."

For this, Black Baldy even carefully inquired about the restaurant where Ethan worked and entered its name into the Law Department’s system.

On the contrary, the young tricky individual who raised doubts earlier was actually the most ideal person in the Law Department. He really couldn’t ignore the fact that the Lord of Holy City, who descended among them showering golden light and saving them in times of crisis, could be treated as some restaurant chef whose name was unheard of.

What kind of blasphemy is this!

And now the young people in the Law Department have found another powerful proof that Ethan is indeed the Holy Master—he is accompanied by a talking black cat, which, about fifteen minutes ago, was seen by them all on the Law Department’s rooftop rubbing out a black hole that sucked in a pirate landing craft.

The Holy City Navy and pirates were frightened by this scene, the Navy Marshal and pirates returned to their starships, all invasion plans against the First Special District were stalled because of the sudden black hole.

That black cat is undoubtedly the great Holy Master’s companion, and the black hole is a form of advanced technology beyond their comprehension.

More importantly, animal companions meet the Law Department’s glorious tradition since its establishment—every prosecutor receives a mechanical companion after swearing in, as a proof of honor. And the Holy Master’s companion appears far stronger than the Law Department’s mechanical dogs and mechanical eagles.

"Can’t you just eat your cat food properly?"

Ethan is very distressed; this mischievous cat always takes joy in mocking people, really not knowing who it took after in personality.

"I don’t want to eat cat strips; I want red wine braised beef, black truffle bread, and pan-fried Chilean sea bass!"

"Quick, go invite the best chef from the First Special District!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Upon hearing this, Black Baldy immediately issued a firm command to the young ones in the Law Department, and his resonant tone made Ethan’s vision go dark, yet this is another proof why Black Baldy could become Chief Prosecutor—he even arranges the meals of the companions.

Ethan suspected he would definitely be a bootlicker before the High-tier Council.

Luckily, there are still people in this city doing real work; as the young ones were busying themselves for Little Dark’s dinner, Vedis the Archbishop brought the latest research results from the Sanctuary.

Her expression appeared extremely heavy, "The brains of those in the Holy City Navy are implanted with a substance I have never seen before; it interferes with the reading of memories and information, preventing the Sanctuary from extracting any valuable intelligence from their brains."

She is also among the few still unwilling to admit Ethan is the incarnation of the Holy Master, but Vedis did not publicly oppose the Law Department’s proposition; she is just somewhat more... cautious on this matter, "Their degeneration and decay have reached the core, and they are beyond redemption."

Vedis sighed, yet after a moment she looked at Ethan, "But you bypassed all the interference and saw their real memories and thoughts."

Ethan foresaw the pirates also participating in this rebellion, and even predicted to a certain extent their next attack method, which is something the priests of the Sanctuary of Logic cannot explain—it surpasses the boundaries of technology and cognition, and Vedis couldn’t help but suspect that perhaps only that omniscient one they revered could achieve such things.

It’s a pity that they ultimately were a step too late.

The first part of the rebel’s plan has succeeded—they have killed all the high-tier councillors, and now all the major families in the Holy City have lost their leaders, but what’s worse is this unforeseen change hasn’t united them against the rebellion; instead, each family has promptly plunged into a new round of power struggle.

They are all eager to take over the entire family in this critical moment to emphasize their authority.

Especially once the news spread that the Lord of Holy City has descended upon the First Special District, the internal conflicts among the families became increasingly unchecked.
