The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 329 - 225: Inauguration! Bishop of Chaos!_2
However, some scholars have speculated based on intelligence that Elf joined merely for fun and on a whim. They suggest that the official story is just a smokescreen and that the true final boss is someone else—this has become the predominant theory online.
Now, having heard what the Chaos Priest said, this hypothesis has been confirmed to be correct.
From the priest’s words, one can deduce that the Ladder, Ocean, and Crimson Sects are just the vanguard of the Esoteric Sect, and the real power lies behind them.
And it is gradually coming to light.
"Who is that person?" An Su asked.
"..." The Chaos Priest shook his head and spoke with implication, "How would I be qualified to know the identity of that august person... I fear that in this world, only Your Majesty the Saintess would know."
For the priest, leadership is leadership; one simply needs to follow the leader’s commands diligently.
But as soon as An Su heard what the priest said, a playful expression appeared on his face.
After all, not knowing is also an answer.
He already had some suspicions. Of the three Cults currently in the Imperial Capital, the Cults of Life and Suffering were led by Bishop Bram and Bishop Rada, respectively. Only the Chaos Sect was an exception, without a Bishop on site, and instead had the Chaotic Saintess acting on the Bishop’s behalf.
The Chaotic Saintess was also involved in this incident.
Given this, the ’that person’ mentioned by the priests is very likely to be the one from the Ladder Cult... the Ladder Bishop who has never shown himself.
The Ladder Bishop has always been a nonentity in the original work, the most mysterious of all the Esoteric Bishops. Some players even believe the Ladder Cult has no Bishop.
Some players speculate the Ladder Bishop’s Rank is far above that of a common Demigod, perhaps even surpassing that of Magic God Merlin.
But these are all just various conjectures.
An Su’s eyes twinkled, now certain that the suspected Ladder Bishop, ’that august person’, orchestrated this event and would arrive in the Imperial Capital with the magnates of the Church Nation at some point in the future.
"When will those Majesties arrive?" An Su inquired.
The priest’s face showed a look of fear, and he took several steps back, chuckling nervously, "You jest, sir. How would I dare to inquire about the movements of those Majesties?"
"We only need to maintain vigilance at all times."
"Perchance, the Majesties are even now watching over us," he said gravely, subconsciously lowering his voice, "Please remember, They are always present, everywhere."
He thinks An Su has no political acumen. When leaders come for a surprise inspection, it’s definitely at the most inopportune times—such as when you happen to be slacking off, sleeping, or without work... those most untimely moments.
Every time he works diligently, earnestly trying to cause disruption within the Church, the leaders are nowhere to be found.
It’s like playing hide and seek with him.
Invisible, He will hear.
Invisible, He has no form, yet is omnipresent.
Unheard, no one can understand the nonsense He speaks.
This kind of undefinable, unobservable characteristic, apart from the Evil Gods of the Star Realm, can only be found in the leaders of earth.
This is the epitome of top-tier chaos talent, naturally suited for the role of the Bishop of Chaos, a person whose every move epitomizes chaos and disorder, unpredictable and inconsistent. One moment they’re announcing a meeting for the weekend, the next they’re ordering a gathering at night, the Dragon is unseen and its passage unheard; never showing themselves, yet every action symbolizes great chaos and contradiction.
It’s no wonder that the Mother Goddess of Chaos favors Him, given how similar His traits are to those of the Evil God.
Seeing the nervous demeanor of the Chaos Priests, An Su understood why the Ladder Bishop is the most mysterious among all the Esoteric Bishops.
No wonder the Chaotic Saintess chose to give up.
However, An Su could infer that the magnates of the Church Nation would not be present for the time being; otherwise, there would be no need for an Acting Bishop like himself, especially since the event in question occurs at the end of the Grand Test, which is still a long way off.
He can foresee that he is stepping into a massive vortex, potentially entangled again with the Kingdom of Chaos of thirty thousand years past, but regardless, one must eat one bite at a time, walk one step at a time; for now, he needs to resolve the current situation.
If it comes to the point that the Imperial Capital cannot be defended...
He could simply run away when the time comes.
After all, his family owns mines.

An Su is a very wise man, embodying the virtues of Moningsta, virtues worth emulating by everyone, having thought of his escape route from the beginning.
"So, Your Excellency the Bishop...?" The priest coughed, "What should we do now?"
"Cough, what Bishop? You are criticizing the wrong person," An Su chided the priest for his improper thoughts, "You should stick to the proper positions. Just call me the Acting Bishop."
You’re criticizing me?
"..." The Chaos Priest made a constipated expression, his mouth twitching as he stared at An Su, who had quickly mastered the skill of a chaotic leader upon assuming power.
"Your Excellency the Acting Bishop, may I inquire what we should do now?"
The Chaos Priest swallowed his pride, for one cannot contradict the leader; the leader’s words are always right, and even if the leader is wrong, it’s his own fault for not having a high enough capacity for leadership.
"All the young followers of our Ladder Cult have used the Gender Transformation Spell as per your request," the priest said. Find exclusive content at novelbuddy
An Su turned and saw a row of charming and attractive young girls lined up in the alley; the Ladder Cult could now be renamed to the Ladder Girl Group.
All the members of the girl group also gazed eagerly at An Su, having become accustomed to their new identities, and were ready to make a name for themselves in the Imperial Capital, to strive for remarkable achievements.
