As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

Within the frame was a photograph of Leus, shimmering with a magical light that illuminated the entire desk. Beside the frame, beneath a candlestick, lay a diary, tightly bound by an intricate chain. A closer look at the diary's cover revealed entries such as "Brother's Development Diary: Princess and Beloved Subject's Daily Life, Leus's Observation Report," making no attempt to conceal the possessiveness displayed towards Leus.

"Lord K's place." Seeing this scene, Lia glanced around, reacting first. She swallowed hard and turned to her brother behind her, asking. Meanwhile, Lius, hearing Lia's question, smiled and nodded, giving her an affirmative answer: "That's right, this is Princess Noel's secret room, located underground in the capital. It's a small, secret hideout she built, and also another exit led by the teleportation array."

"As expected of Her Highness the Princess... Although I could already sense her feelings for you, my brother, seeing this scene now still surprises me..."

Looking at a cushion with Lius's image engraved on it on the bed, Leah muttered to herself. Annie, on the other hand, finally realized what had happened. Having overheard the conversation between the boy and girl, she herself displayed a mature demeanor befitting an adult. After a moment of silence, she reluctantly accepted the reality.

"Ah. So that's how it is. I really underestimated Princess Noel's feelings for you, Xiaoli. To think that she could secretly build such a complete teleportation array underground in the capital, and that no one else knew about it except the two of you?"

"Yes, even Her Majesty the Queen doesn't know. It's a little secret between me and Her Highness the Princess. I'm only revealing it to you today for the sake of the bigger picture. Please remember to keep it a secret from now on."

Speaking to the two behind him, Lius waved his hand again, signaling them to follow him.

"I will explain Princess Noelle's matter to you properly later. For now, let's stick to the original plan and discuss the next steps with those believers."

Helia nodded and followed behind Lius, while Annie looked around the room that belonged to Lius and Noelle once again, and finally spoke to Lius again:

"Xiao Li, if we go out now, where in the capital will we go?"

“Let me think… If we go out through this door, we can go directly to Her Highness the Princess’s private quarters, and then we can go directly outside the royal city to the place where the Black Robe Cultists gather.”

"Xiao Li, have you already arranged where they'll gather? Even I can't fully control the current situation, yet you've managed to gather those cultists who were originally impossible to command directly?" Annie asked again, her eyes filled with surprise.

"Of course, although I can't directly command them, don't forget that there are many teams in the capital that I can command. By manipulating their actions, I can control the progress of the believers within a limited range. As long as they can reach the capital, there will only be one place where they can gather."

As he said this, Lius looked behind him and confidently nodded to the somewhat hesitant black-haired young woman. Annie, upon hearing this, was completely relieved and returned a gentle smile to the blond boy, gently reaching out to hold his hand.

"Then, Xiaoli, please lead the way so that I can go to the place you know." "Yes, don't worry, everything is under control."

As Lius spoke, he gently grasped the young woman's delicate hand and pulled her out of the basement. He then led Anne and Lia through a secret staircase in the royal city to the top of the city wall, where they opened a gate that could only be opened with the key "given by Noel," and entered the princess's reception room.

"Come on, Aunt Annie, let's change our clothes first. And you too, Leah, everything is ready here. Let's change our clothes together."

"Read? Change clothes? Change the clothes we're wearing?"

Hearing Lius's sudden idea, Anne and Lia looked puzzled again, tilting their heads slightly. Lius continued to give an affirmative answer, taking out clothes he had prepared in advance from the wardrobe and placing them in front of the two beauties.

"Yes, after changing into these clothes and preparing our identities, we'll be going to meet our followers. We need to have some sense of ceremony, otherwise, if we just appear like ordinary passersby, wouldn't it be hard for people to believe us?"

"Hmm? Convinced? Brother, are you referring to those believers?"

"That's right. After all, we are leaders of the believers. We can't just have ordinary contact with them, can we? Since we're going to end this, there has to be a grand ending. If they want to see the Supreme God, then... let them see him with their own eyes. That way, this operation can have a perfect conclusion, don't you think? Aunt Anne?"

Looking in Anne's direction, Lius said this to her. Hearing Lius's words, the two girls' doubts deepened. They didn't seem to understand what Lius wanted to do. They kept their heads slightly tilted and looked at the blond boy.

"Alright, alright, I know you're still a little unsure what to do, but don't worry about it too much. Leave everything to me. Aunt Annie and Lilia, just change into these clothes as I just told you. While you're changing, I'll explain my plan to you."

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Leus revealed a knowing, mischievous smile. He patted Annie and Lillie on the shoulder, then leaned close to their ears and, under their slightly surprised gazes, confided his current thoughts…

Chapter 308: Role Playing (Part Two)

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the capital city.

After passing through a narrow passage, then through a series of alleys separated by buildings, and then winding through the alleys, you arrive at a spacious garden.

This garden, located in the eastern part of the capital, is like a treasure that ordinary people cannot find, quietly waiting in a corner of the capital for passersby to stop here.

However, the person who designed this garden never imagined that the people who would settle here would not be just passing through, but a group of wounded people who came here to take refuge.

They entered the garden, passed through a dense thicket, and arrived at the depths of the garden. From the ground at the depths of the garden, there was a huge hidden door, quietly concealed in the grass. "Hoo," a black-robed girl with a furrowed brow slowly exhaled from her mouth and finally entered the hidden door. She gently reached out and closed the heavy door above her head, secured the chains, and used magic to further strengthen the chains, making the door difficult to breach for the time being.

After doing these things, she stared around with an uneasy look, then slowly walked down a staircase leading to the ground. After descending for a while, she finally arrived at a large underground space and looked at her colleagues who had gathered there and were taking a temporary rest on the ground.

"Everyone has arrived... Has everyone been counted? Are there any casualties?"

Coming downstairs and gazing at the crowd, the girl in black robes asked one of her colleagues this question. Her companion nodded slightly and, with a serious tone, gave her his answer:

"The headcount has been completed. Although some people were injured, no one died or got lost. Although some members got separated during the pursuit, for some reason, they all eventually returned to the main group. No one is missing."

"Oh? Could it be that someone is helping us?" the girl in black robes continued to inquire.

"I don't know, but according to the returning members, when they were lost, they seemed to be guided by some kind of force, a force that was like... how should I put it? An active shadow that could condense into various shapes and wander back and forth in the forest, as if to give us a way."

"This... could it be something His Excellency the Bishop set up beforehand? A backup plan to prevent us from encountering a similar situation?" "I don't know, but in any case, we've finally arrived at the capital. I just checked, and all the colleagues who participated in the operation are here. Everyone is exhausted. Fortunately, we found such a huge basement here, where we can hide and rest temporarily. Perhaps this is the blessing of the Supreme God..." Wiping the sweat from her brow, the girl slowly breathed a sigh of relief in the slightly hot environment. Her legs couldn't help but give way, and she collapsed into a corner, joining her companions in their rest. Only the black-robed girl, who was the temporary leader, remained standing on the stairs leading to the surface, gripping her magic wand tightly, guarding this only way out.

Seeing the exhausted looks of her companions, the girl's unease grew stronger.

After a long period of running and fighting, most of their strength had been exhausted, making it impossible for them to retreat from this mission or engage in high-intensity combat.

The only action they could take was to make a final push towards the location of the array's core in the capital after a brief rest, and then try to draw out the power within the array.

According to the girls' estimates, as long as the bishop successfully offers the "pure things" as a tribute to the supreme god, and with their activation of the central array in the capital, the power within the array can be successfully guided out, allowing the supreme god they worship to be resurrected in this world.

The consensus among these black-robed girls is that if they can bring the Supreme God back to life, then everything they are doing now will be worthwhile. They have all experienced tremendous shocks in their lives, and thus they have come to rely on this reassuring black-robed church to witness the unparalleled power of the Supreme God and dedicate their lives to it.

"Um?

Just then, feeling an echo in her ears, the black-robed girl who was guarding the area widened her eyes and sensed footsteps coming from above. Along with the constant swirling of magical energy, her entire body tensed up, and she became extremely vigilant.

"Gentlemen! Someone's coming! Prepare for battle!"

"Hmm? Have the people of the kingdom come searching? What should we do? There aren't many people left who can fight."

Upon hearing the girl's report, the rest of their companions immediately opened their eyes wide. Some of the exhausted ones tried to struggle to their feet but fell back to the ground, while those who were still able to fight dragged their wounds, using their wands as a support, and with rapid breathing coming from their mouths, they prepared themselves for battle.

"Everyone's wounds are quite serious." Looking at the blood dripping from the girls' bodies, the girl in the black robe at the head showed an uneasy expression. After looking around, she gradually realized that she was the cultist in the best condition among them, and immediately made a decision in her heart.

“I’ll go out. If those people from the kingdom really want to search this place, then I’ll go out and distract them, and fight them as much as possible.”

"What!!" Looking at the black-robed girl who was acting as the leader, everyone showed expressions of shock, and then shook their heads repeatedly.

"No... We've already overcome so many difficulties, and we've finally gathered in the capital. How can we abandon our comrades now? No, if we must leave, we'll leave together. We can still fight for a while. As long as we attack together, we can definitely break through the kingdom's encirclement..." Enough said... Our current group cannot afford any changes. Everything is for the Supreme God. Let me go out and stall for time. Seize this opportunity, and you must immediately head towards the capital. Use your remaining strength to travel as fast as possible and activate the array's core within the capital. We absolutely cannot let His Holiness the Bishop down."

Faced with the girl's words, the crowd wanted to say something more, but the girl simply waved her hand to signal them to be quiet. She then raised her wand and slowly walked towards the stairs in front of her, climbing step by step until she finally stood in front of the trapdoor leading to the ground.

Swallowing slightly, the girl placed her small hand on the door handle, took a deep breath, and pushed open the heavy trapdoor. Under the moonlight streaming through the cracks, she resolutely leaped upwards, bursting forth from the ground and landing on the ground in an attack stance.

"Come on! No matter what attacks you launch, nothing can stop us."

With a series of powerful and unstoppable words emanating from her mouth, the black-robed girl forcefully opened her eyes, intending to launch the first attack. However, just as she opened her eyes, she slightly lowered them, surprised by the scene before her. "This is..."

Instead of the pursuers he had expected, he found himself surrounded by magical crystals shimmering with light. These crystals coalesced in the air, illuminating the entire area like twinkling stars in the sky.

The place where everyone was gathered was a relatively secluded garden. When they were being pursued, the pursuers came one after another, completely restricting their movements in the eastern part of the royal city and blocking every road leading to the outside world. This garden was the last place they could find to hide.

For some reason, there were very few people from the kingdom stationed here, and not even any patrols, as if this place had been deliberately ignored. Perhaps it was because this place was not particularly conspicuous to begin with. In any case, they successfully hid underground here and rested in this unexpectedly discovered basement.

Now, under the dazzling light of these magical lights, this previously hidden place was directly illuminated, causing the girl to panic after her initial shock. She hurriedly reached out, trying to extinguish the constantly flashing magical crystals.

No. What's going on? What is this magic? "Praise the Supreme God... Praise the Supreme God!" Just as the girl was about to destroy these magic crystals, a series of soft chants echoed around her again, containing the words "Supreme God," which immediately drew the black-robed girl's attention.

The Supreme God?! Could it be... that we have companions here?

With this thought in mind, the girl turned her gaze behind her, and what she saw deepened the astonishment in her eyes.

Because she saw a group of girls dressed in the armor of the Lord's Kingdom and wearing the emblem of the Lord's Kingdom's church on their chests, who were now prostrate in the garden behind her, their hands clasped together, reciting prayers.

Their postures clearly indicate that they are indeed soldiers of the kingdom, some of whom are from the kingdom's church and are combat nuns. They also wear church insignia, demonstrating their devotion to their religious identity.

At this moment, however, these sincere people placed their weapons and shields in front of them, their faces hidden by heavy visors, making it impossible to see their expressions. But from their earnest words, one could still hear the sincerity in their hearts, without any pretense.

The object of their devotion was none other than the "supreme god" whom the girls had just been blessing.

It is undoubtedly a very shocking thing that the enemy who was originally irreconcilable with the supreme god is now worshipping this god who is called a "cult" in the main country with sincerity.

Faced with this scene, the girl in black robes naturally showed a shocked expression. She looked around in disbelief, and after confirming that these people were indeed not believers, her expression became even more strange.

"Why would these people from the kingdom do such a thing? Could it be that they're trying to lower our guard, or are they plotting something to wipe us out?"

Such thoughts echoed in the girl's mind, leaving her momentarily at a loss and revealing a state of bewilderment. "This is the blessing bestowed by the Supreme God, and also a sign that she has descended into this world."

Just then, another voice came from above the girl's head, carrying a familiar aura that made her blink and look up at the sky.

You are. Yes.

At that moment, a black-haired young woman dressed in a black robe, exuding a mature yet alluring aura, slowly descended from the crescent moon.

Silver light shone around her, sharing the same radiance as the silvery-white crystals surrounding her. Waves of light flowed over the young woman's body, as if she were blessed by the gods, giving her an aura of holiness.

Beside her stood a blond boy, also dressed in a black robe and with a solemn expression.

The young man was tall and handsome, standing beside the young woman like a protector of a flower. Accompanied by the black-haired woman, accompanied by waves of white light, he slowly stood on the ground like an angel descending to earth.

With gentle yet solemn gazes, the two slowly raised their heads to look at the astonished girl in black robes. "You...you are..."

Faced with the two people who suddenly appeared in front of her, the girl trembled in shock, then looked on with disbelief, her gaze fixed on the black-haired woman's face, and her lips slowly parted in a trembling voice:

"You are... Your... Your Excellency the Bishop! The Bishop has come to see us!" What?! Your Excellency the Bishop!

Upon hearing the girl's call, the black-robed girls who had been waiting underground showed expressions of shock. One by one, they emerged from the ground and came to Annie and Lius, casting shocked glances at them, finding their sudden arrival unbelievable.

Chapter 309: Role Playing (Part 3)

"Your Excellency, it really is Your Excellency! It's been so long... Your Excellency, we've finally met you!" Why is Your Excellency here? Could it be... that Your Excellency has already "sacrificed your purity to the Supreme God"? Is that why you've come here to support us? Upon seeing the figure of this black-haired young woman, after the initial shock, a discussion filled with sobs ensued. Clearly, after a long journey, meeting Annie at this moment had undoubtedly given these black-robed girls a powerful boost, stabilizing their panicked emotions and gradually restoring their strength. They all walked up to Annie, seeking further contact with her.

"Your Majesty Bishop.

The black-robed girl, acting as the leader, approached Anne, intending to say something. However, due to her relaxed emotions, Anne's tense body also relaxed, causing her to lean back and almost fall to the ground.

"Ah, just then, Leus swiftly reached out his arm and gently pulled the fallen black-robed girl into his embrace, speaking softly to her in a tender tone:"

"Don't worry, now that we're here, you're safe. No one can hurt you anymore. Just rest well and leave everything to us."

"Hmm? You are looking at the young man whose face is covered by a black robe in front of you?" The girl in the black robe looked at him with some doubt. Then, when she saw Lius gradually take off his hood, she exclaimed and showed a shocked expression.

"Leader! His Excellency the Leader! It's His Excellency the Leader! His Excellency the Leader has arrived here too!" "Leader... His Excellency?"

Upon hearing this name, his companions turned around with surprised looks, all casting their gazes toward Lius.

"He... is that the leader?"

“While we were on a mission, we heard that the leader of the church had appeared, guided by the Supreme God to assist us. So it was him? I remember he was Prince Lis of the Fren family… So the leader we've been waiting for has actually been by the bishop's side all along?” The leader and the bishop have arrived together… Our goal finally has a chance to be achieved: to resurrect the Supreme God in this world. Finally, the opportunity has arrived. With sincere words, the girls cast earnest and respectful glances at Lius and Anne. Lius and Anne exchanged a look, nodded slightly, and then began their next move. “Gentlemen, regarding our Supreme Plan, I want to say that what you all did just now was excellent, and our plan has been achieved through Novi’s actions.”

"D-Done? Your Excellency, what are you saying? Wasn't our plan to sacrifice the lives of the entire kingdom to bring the Supreme God back to this world? Why are you saying the plan is complete? Could it be that..."

Hearing Lius's words, the black-robed girl at the head tilted her head in confusion, asking the question while nestled in Lius's arms. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she glanced at herself and offered her answer:

"Could it be... that the supreme god has already descended upon this world? But... why haven't we sensed it? Is that really the case?" Looking at Lius, the girl's voice became increasingly excited, filled with a strong desire to explore, and her eyes revealed a strong sense of curiosity.

It wasn't just the black-robed girl leading the group; the other girls also crowded around, ignoring their injuries and dwindling strength, slowly approaching Lius and Annie. Their eyes gleamed with the same curiosity as they bombarded the two with questions:

Is that really the case? If the Supreme God has been resurrected... where is she? Is she within the Church? Or is the power of the Supreme God so immense that we cannot know about her?

"Your Excellency, how did you manage to do that? We haven't even activated the array's core here yet, so how could you bring the Supreme God back to life in this world? Did Your Excellency set up some array core elsewhere, which is why our plan succeeded?"

"Your Excellency, what are your plans with the Bishop? What is our next step? What should we do?"

"Gentlemen, pause for a moment, don't be in such a hurry. We can explain our plan later. Right now, our only need is to escape from this capital and return to the church. Once everything has settled down, you will naturally know."

“Oh? Go back and listen to what Lius said. The girls glanced at each other, and their eyes gradually became somewhat disappointed. They each stretched out their hands, gathered their remaining power at their fingertips, and displayed it in front of Lius and Annie.

Your Excellency the Bishop... and Your Excellency the Leader, we also wish to return to the Church at this time, but... our divine power has been almost completely depleted, and we no longer have enough strength to teleport. We... may not be able to return to the Church.

"Oh? You're already out of energy?"

Looking at the girls around him and seeing the weariness in their eyes, Lius nodded slightly. Then he gently touched the black-haired woman beside him with his arm, signaling her to take the next step.

As for Anne, feeling Lius's touch, she slowly exhaled, seemingly having made up her mind; then, with a resolute gaze, she looked at the young women, her lips slowly parting, and said to them:

"Don't worry, everyone. Regarding the divine power within you, I... can try to help you restore it." "Your Excellency, you want to help us?" Hearing this, the girls' eyes lit up with surprise, but then a look of pessimism appeared on their faces.

"But to replenish divine power, one must return to the church in order to feel the blessing from the Most High God... But in our current state, it is impossible to achieve this."

"Who says that replenishing divine power requires returning to the church? The blessings of the Most High God spread throughout the world, so how can they only be felt within the church?"

"Hmm? Your Excellency, are you saying that we can also feel the blessing from the Most High God here?"

Upon hearing Annie's words, the black-robed girls beside her all showed surprise, seemingly taken aback by her statement. Annie, however, nodded again, maintaining a serious demeanor as she addressed the group:

“That’s right. Previously, we could only receive blessings within the church because the Supreme God had not yet descended into this world, so he couldn’t establish a deep connection with us or bless us at any time. But now it’s different. Now the Supreme God has descended into this world, and the connection between us has deepened. Therefore, now, as long as I and the Leader are by your side, you can obtain unlimited divine power anytime, anywhere.”

As she said this, Anne turned her head slightly and looked at the blond boy beside her, giving him a subtle wink. Lius responded with a meaningful glance and gently stretched out his arm, pointing forward.

"Now, let me strengthen my connection with the Supreme God, so that the Supreme God may appear before us and bestow upon us a face-to-face blessing."

"What! Is the supreme god about to descend upon this place? At this very moment?"

"That's right, at this very moment, let the Supreme God appear before you."

Looking at the astonished girls around him, Lius's lips continued to curl into a meaningful smile, and his fingers, under the influence of this emotion, emitted a faint glow, causing a clear white light to appear before everyone.
