The others were also waiting for Mary to respond.

Although Sariman was a bit noisy, he voiced the question they all shared.

"Bazarian, that's her name."

Mary said as calmly as possible.

"Bazarian?"

"Never heard of it."

"Where did that come from?"

...

"It's normal you haven't heard of it," Mary said. In fact, she herself had only recently learned this name, "because you're usually aware of her other identity."

"Another identity?"

"The Goddess of Life."

........................

Mary recounted everything she experienced in the Holy City, including the relationship between Bazarian and the Evil God Bajatos, as well as the fact that the Holy City had now been destroyed by a plague of flesh.

The leaders of different sects remained in the Holy City, along with Veronica and others, as they prepared to rebuild the entire city and the Crown of Dawn Cathedral.

Every word she spoke was in absolute silence.

Even the talkative Sariman slumped back in his chair, seemingly paralyzed.

No one could predict these shocking facts—were they really attempting to oppose the Goddess of Life on this land called the Far West?

Even considering any real action, just the mere thought could be enough to be convicted.

This made them look troubled; as Mary finished her story, someone shakily raised a hand, expressing their desire to withdraw.

Once it started, more and more people left, until the large room had only three people left.

Leon, Grave, and Sariman.

Sariman raised his hand to explain why he stayed, "My legs gave out, can't walk."

Now he completely understood why after Marshall ate the fruit, he could instantly gain such powerful strength, even though Laris's followers had mentioned more than once that they had received the blessings of the Goddess. But to everyone, those were merely phrases to flaunt their faith, almost every bishop in the Far West said the same in their speeches.

But Mary was telling them, what they faced this time was genuine—a resurrected Goddess of Life.

"Do you need help?"

Ethan asked considerately.

"No, I'll just stay here."

Sariman shook his head, his mind was too confused to think about going home.

Because he completely had no idea how to explain to his wife that they were going up against the Goddess of Life herself.

"But you said she's changed."

Leon suddenly spoke, "She's regained those lost parts, so in theory, she's already become a different person."

"You believe that?"

Mary was somewhat surprised.

"I only believe what I see," Leon asked again, "So, what's the plan? How are we going to deal with this resurrected Goddess of Life?"

He asked the world's most insane question, in the most rational tone.

"Senzi, it's your turn now."

Mary said.

"That's the purpose of forming the special task force."

Ethan said, "Laris and his followers obtained this fruit, what exactly do you need to contend with them?"

"... Yesterday's forging ceremony?"

"That was just a special measure provided to you under unexpected circumstances."

Ethan shook his head, throwing the same question back to Mary, since it was Mary's rivalry for city mayor against Bazarian; he, as an advisor, had already overstepped last night.

"Bazarian has already found her believers, it's time for you to take action."

To win the campaign for mayor, it was not enough to just stay in the municipal hall handling paperwork, or trying a few corrupt officials; this was still from a 'human' perspective.

To truly contend with Bazarian, Mary must break free from the shackles. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Lizi, think carefully, what kind of blessings can you bestow upon them?"

Ethan said, "Otherwise, you will eventually lose this election."
