Chapter 772: Chapter 473: Alice: I’m Here to Replace Vivian!

In fact, the outcome seemed better than the result of helping Alice conceal her true identity to pass the investigation.

If Alice’s identity had been covered up, she might have safely passed the pope’s ceremony, but afterward, she would constantly need to be cautious in front of the Master of Thunder, hiding her identity to avoid being discovered and inviting disaster.

But now, Alice no longer needed to hide herself at all, because she had already revealed her identity openly in front of the Master of Thunder.

I am just a "heretic."

But you must still cooperate with me.

And you need to help me properly.

Could it be that Alice is truly a genius?

Shen Sui thought as he stroked his chin.

[Alice inquired of the Master of Thunder about the War God.]

[The Master of Thunder didn’t provide a clear answer, only saying the War God’s aura was very strange.]

["He has become less belligerent," the Master of Thunder said.]

[On her way back, Alice kept pondering the Master of Thunder’s response.]

["Claude, you must be there, right?" Alice softly called your name.]

Alice could feel Shen Sui’s gaze, so Shen Sui did not remain silent and revealed his presence.

["Why did the Master of Thunder discover my identity?" Alice said with lingering fear.]

[If not for her quick thinking, she might not have made it this far.]

Because you constantly slander me in your heart.

Shen Sui silently mocked.

[You explained to Alice about the Gods’ exploration of souls.]

["There’s actually such a thing?" Alice said incredulously, her eyes wide open.]

[She silently canceled her plan to wander before other Gods and then mock them.]

Don’t have such strange ideas! What’s the reason for that?!

Shen Sui saw Alice’s thoughts and finally understood what Vivian meant.

They don’t need to fan the flames at all; Alice would naturally stand in opposition to the Gods.

["By the way, you must have heard it too, right, Claude?" Alice asked again, "Do you think the War God is really dead? I wonder if the War God’s current abnormal state has anything to do with your last battle."]

["Heh, of course it does," you sneered, "Even though I was seriously injured, if I took just a light action, wouldn’t the War God be caught easily?"]

["Were you seriously injured at that time?" Alice mumbled, "You even looked like you were about to die."]

That damn performance of mine.

But Shen Sui didn’t intend to reveal this directly yet. If he did, who knows how awkward Alice might feel, and indeed, it would be quite awkward for Shen Sui, who fooled Alice.

However, Shen Sui didn’t plan to keep it from Alice forever.

At the right time, he would let Alice discover the true identity of the current War God.

Finding such a timing wouldn’t be difficult. With his strength, as long as he glanced at the War God, it wouldn’t be hard to see through their disguise, and it could reasonably convince Alice.

Then he could subtly inform Alice that Death God Arianna was on their side, preventing Alice from inadvertently harming allies.

After the pope ceremony was over, Alice needed to start preparing to head to the War God Temple.

She wasn’t actually interested in whether the War God was still alive—better if dead, and if alive, it would be good if he could be framed.

The reason she planned to go to the War God Temple was only because Shen Sui showed interest in Aivia, and she intended to help Shen Sui thoroughly investigate information about Aivia.

[Alice would never fight a war unprepared.]

???

Shen Sui saw this statement and was internally screaming "shameless."

How many crazy things have you done without preparation?!

As he ranted madly, Shen Sui watched Alice prepare.

Since investigating Aivia was necessary, it was natural to systematically understand the current Aivia.

Fortunately, ever since Aivia became the Daylight Saintess, the Thunder Church had already established a dedicated intelligence file for her, solely to record various information about Aivia.

From the intelligence, Aivia had a very clear growth path, with a precise lineage and a perfectly standard ascension route.

Normal.

So normal that it became too normal.

Alice went through the whole night but surprisingly found no flaw at all.

All of Aivia’s actions could be traced with clear clues from the information.

Alice looked at Aivia’s intelligence and then began to flip through information regarding Aivia’s parents.

Very normal.

Checking further back.

Still very normal, just an ordinary lineage of Daylight believers.

["Hmm?" Alice was puzzled as she looked at Aivia’s family genealogy, "Is there actually another Aivia in her aunt’s generation as well?"]

[And this previous generation Aivia was also a Saintess of the Daylight Church.]

[Never married, only serving the Lady of Daylight.]

Then, intelligence that even Shen Sui found eerie surfaced.

Following Aivia’s family tree, Alice noticed that nearly every few generations, a family member held an important position in the Daylight Church. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

They were either Daylight Saintesses, Daylight Popes, or heads of the Daylight Church’s Judgement Hall.

Without exception, they were all named Aivia.

"Doesn’t Baris even pretend?" Shen Sui was astonished, "Even if you want to pretend or hide, you should at least wear a mask."
