Above, a holy light stretched down from the crack in the sky.

Under this light, a man wearing a black trench coat floated in the air.

He held a plain iron sword with a cold, gleaming edge in one hand, raising his arm diagonally to block Gwen's swift and fierce attack.

In an instant, a deafening shockwave exploded in the air.

The violent tremors caused the surrounding air to vibrate violently, creating waves of sound that surged like ocean waves and pierced through the clouds.

The crisp, explosive sound of metal clashing also spread across the earth, and the already broken soil was torn apart once again by the violent shockwave.

A cloud of dust billowed up, rocks sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and pebbles scattered and danced in the holy light.

As the sound and shockwave gradually dissipated, all the residents present stared wide-eyed.

Stunned and shocked, they looked up at the sky emitting a sharp whistling sound.

That...that's Viktor!?

In fact, although Victor stood on the clock tower the whole time, not a single resident noticed his presence.

Because so much is happening at the Shulburn Centre.

Whether it's the two goddesses of justice, the vast array of flowing, dense light, or the towering, robust divine tree reaching into the clouds...

Although these strange phenomena were all related to Viktor, no one paid any attention to Viktor.

Now, Victor suddenly appeared in the air, leaving countless unsuspecting residents astonished.

He levitated in the air with magic, and the surrounding air churned like a tide driven by magic.

The black trench coat behind him fluttered in the raging wind, its intricate patterns shimmering with dazzling light as elemental magic flowed through it.

It's so conspicuous that it's hard for anyone not to notice it.

Furthermore, he was now standing before another white goddess radiating holy light.

The striking black figure drew even more attention.

Upon witnessing this scene, countless residents standing on the ground were stunned into silence, like clay sculptures, at a loss for what to do.

What's going on?!

Didn't they say that after Victor and Grand Duke Balo fought, he went missing to recuperate?

How did you suddenly appear here?

And looking at how energetic he is, he doesn't seem to have any signs of injury at all.

The faces of everyone watching were filled with confusion, and a deep doubt swept through their minds.

But at this moment, the Marquis of Sancher, who was also standing on the ground and looking up at the sky, suddenly changed his expression.

Although he didn't know Victor's specific plans, he could vaguely guess some of them from the appearance of the believers and the Goddess of Justice.

By striking down believers in the name of the Goddess of Justice and eliminating these lurking monsters, the Mage Council can also gain the orthodox status of the Church of Justice.

Incidentally, this also indirectly consolidated the control of Shulburn's territory.

Now, as the battle draws to a close, all that remains is to destroy the "goddess" summoned by countless believers.

Everything will eventually settle down.

However, Victor's sudden appearance unexpectedly stopped the silver knight's sudden attack!

Although the identity of the silver-white knight with pure white wings on his back is still unclear, Viktor's intervention has undoubtedly made the situation even more unpredictable.

Although many of them knew that Viktor had orchestrated all of this,

But the ordinary residents of Shulburn knew nothing about this!

They'll just assume Viktor appeared out of nowhere, and then...

Just as the Marquis of Sancher had predicted.

Countless residents witnessed Victor deflect the Silver Knight's attack, their faces a mixture of shock and realization.

The residents gathered on the ground, gazing at the distant sky, and began to whisper among themselves:

"So, Councilor Victor was actually on the same side as those monsters?"

"No wonder there were rumors that he was at war with Duke Barlow. It seems that Duke Barlow knew about this all along."

"Yes! Victor is definitely the leader of this cult!"

“Victor is still a count in the kingdom! This matter must be reported to the royal family afterward, and his title must be revoked!”

For a time, opinions were divided, with countless residents claiming that Victor was on the side of those cultists.

The initial whispers escalated into a vehement condemnation.

In fact, there is no need to deliberately smear religious beliefs.

After today's incident, believers have been labeled as a cult.

Viktor's act of stopping the knight was seen by many residents as helping the cult and siding with them.

The residents' chaotic chatter continued, and the voices of public opinion rising from the ground also grew louder.

Many more residents of Shulbourne were also outraged, expressing their anger and frustration.

No wonder such a thing happened in Shulburn, no wonder their home was destroyed.

It turns out that Viktor had planned everything all along, orchestrating this disaster.

Otherwise, how can all of this be explained?

Why would Victor aid the goddess summoned by countless believers?

Within a short time, rumors that Viktor was the mastermind behind the incident spread like wildfire throughout the vast city of Shulbong.

Even Priscilla, who was suspended in mid-air, caught the voices of the residents below.

The angry questions and criticisms mingled into a wave of sound, which clearly reached her ears through her keen hearing.

As these voices continued to pour in, Priscilla's expression grew increasingly grave.

The events had happened so fast that Priscilla didn't even have time to react before Miss Gwen was already soaring into the sky.
