The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 478 - 279 Merlin: Am I Not in the Exam Room?_3

Miss Maid's eyes also lacked any emotion, she didn't even cry, only calmly looked at the Church, those black pupils inciting a sense of dread without the cold.

Arthur and Lister likewise didn't speak any unnecessary words; they tacitly followed their father, silently pressing against the barrier laid down by the Order Priest. War God Annand took measured steps towards the barrier, which under the divine authority of the god, began to fracture with each step, retreating step by step as they advanced.

The Royal Knights and the guards accompanying Count Karlo engaged in a fierce conflict, as the Third Princess was also in the world, and should the barbarians at the border cause chaos, it could threaten Her Majesty the Princess's life.

Countless cries arose; this night was destined to be the darkest night for the Seven Great Churches, as well as the most shameful for the Imperial Royal Family.

But once this information emerged, there was no further need for the Royal Knights to maintain order. Following the command to worship the Demigod, all Knight Orders, like those on the border, began to exert pressure on the Order Church; meanwhile, the crowds outside the conference venue could no longer contain their anger, and they too stepped into the venue, hurling stones at the examiners.

"It's already started outside."

At this moment, at the heart of the Church, within the Cardinal Cathedral Council. Splendid radiance gilded the stained glass on either side, cascading down the crimson table that was arrayed with the emblems of the Seven Gods like Radiance, Order, and so on. Each row had ten seats, and at the end of the long table sat the initiator of the incident, His Excellency Merlin Andre.

His hands were tightly bound by holy chains, preventing the circulation of magic power.

These chains were known as the 'Divine Lock,' and once imprisoned by them, not even a Demigod could struggle free.

"Are you satisfied now, Merlin Andre?"

The leading Demigod of Order calmly inquired, "Has your goal been achieved?"

"Don't put it like that. As long as there are no mishaps in the end, just fool the public, bribe the press, make some donations to the royal family, and by the way, dismiss a few temporary church workers... oh, and just to mention, I'm actually the Bishop of Chaos, not Merlin Andre."

Magic God Merlin with a practiced ease performed a silky smooth chain of maneuvers, evidently quite experienced in dealing with such situations, "This way, everyone will be quite convinced."

All the Demigods looked at Merlin with faces full of disbelief; how could such a shameless existence pass through the Church's scrutiny to join their ranks...

"Don't be too serious,"

Merlin appeared relaxed although he was being interrogated, "I simply wanted to see more possibilities, that's all."

Within those Pure White Eyes of his, the most dazzling radiance flickered – myriad lights converged in those eyes, and a multitude of brilliance refracted from them, all worlds almost transparent in that gaze.

Merlin had already seen what he wanted to see.

Pure White Eyes, although An Su always mocked him saying it was cataracts, the rank of these eyes was extraordinary, on par with the Azure Sorceress's Azure Magic Eye, the 'Magic Eye' of the Orthodox Court, also known as the Holy Eyes.

The Azure Magic Eye could pierce through the 'River of Life' of all beings, while Merlin's Pure White Eyes could see through the essence of all magic, skills, and the root circuit of worlds.

"Because the next 'Red Moon incident' is coming,"

Merlin said with an easy smile, "The Nether of our era... The Nether of the Radiant Era is about to arrive."

His words were not light, but they stirred up a tempest in the council.

All the Bishops stood up, looking at Merlin with grave expressions, "Heaven... Are there signs of the Heaven under your rotation appearing?"

"It's not the Heaven under my rotation." Merlin replied with a smile, "My term is nearly over, this shouldn't be my job."

"I belong to this era, and the next one is approaching. That person will not be me."

That person will not be me... Several Bishops exchanged glances, deciphering complex emotions from each other's eyes.

Was Merlin referring to... Princess Cersei?

But she was already dead.

On the other side of the council, the Celestial Priests brought urgent news, interrupting the Bishops' meeting as they burst through the doors with anxious expressions, "Errors have exceeded the critical threshold!"

In that instant, blood-red error symbols swept across all the glass in the council, engulfing the dome, the sanguine hue painting the magnificent church's stone walls, as if the dusk of twilight, casting all the Bishops' faces in a somber light.

There was no time to guess the meaning behind the old rascal Merlin's words; Bishop Morgan stood up from his seat, the priority being to immediately destroy this out-of-control world before it descended upon the real one, but Merlin said,

"No need to rush."

His pupils flashing with the purest white light, Merlin spoke with a smile, exuding an air of ease, "We should give the new era a little time... Your Excellency Morgan, as a Demigod of a new era, we should always maintain an air of effortlessness..."

But the next second, as if Pure White Eyes had seen something else, Merlin was struck with horror, standing up abruptly with a murderous aura, so agitated that even the 'Divine Lock' that should have bound a Demigod came loose.

"Damn it, An Su, how did you steal my exam site too!"
