The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 528 - 297: An Su Experiences the Elegance of the Older Generation of Artists_2

The tried-and-true pattern for a powerful female protagonist's comeback story is "Thirty years in the west of the river, thirty years in the east, never underestimate a young girl's poverty."

The counter-pattern is "Never underestimate a young man's poverty, agree tacitly on middle-age poverty, the dead are supreme."

When it came to Arthur's abstract pattern, it became "Never underestimate LGBT poverty"!

You've been ahead of the domestic feel-good fiction versions for too many years!

He watched mercilessly as Arthur was dragged away, then shifted his gaze to the third and highest level of the Ceremony Hall.

This level was the heaviest weight of the evening.

This is where the seats for the Cardinals of the Seven Great Churches are located—no fewer than seven Demigods of the Church will be present at this ceremony. Each representing their own Church faction, and the "Bishop of Chaos," whom An Su had been seeking all along, was very likely concealed among these seven.

The Cardinal symbolizes the highest position a Church faction can reach in reality, one more step up would be the theoretical position of the White-robed Bishop—also known as the Church's Pope.

To become the Pope of all Seven Great Churches is a great existence only recorded in epics, an incarnation of the True God's will, Heaven's envoy in the mortal world, the recipient of all power and authority on earth—"Holy Pope."

There has yet to be a Holy Pope born throughout the tens of thousands of years of history of the Seven Orthodox Churches.

Not to mention the Holy Pope, even the White-robed Bishops of the respective Churches have not been elected for nearly a thousand years.

Thus, the Cardinals are in fact the greatest power-holders of the Church.

Each Cardinal is mysterious and formidable, most of them old antiques who have lived for hundreds of years. Apart from the two recently known Bishops, Merlin and Morgan, the others have not made public appearances in nearly a decade.

Even An Su knew very little about them.

After all, these big shots are merely background settings in the original game, some without even a character model!

"The consecration ceremony begins."

The Priests announced loudly, "Please welcome the Bishops to the hall."

The entire venue quieted down, then immediately erupted into an incredibly warm round of applause.

The leaders had finally arrived.

Count Karlo, well-informed and knowledgeable, saw a rare opportunity to show off in front of his genius son and eagerly volunteered to introduce the great personalities.

Skipping over Merlin and Morgan, he first introduced Bishop Hughes of the Order Church. His eyebrows and eyes were relaxed, and his demeanor was dashing, resembling that of someone with an Eastern mixed-race heritage. His Divine-given Title was "Order Sword Suspended Above the Heads of All."

He is the embodiment of the Sword of Damocles in mythology, a deity bestowed upon the world to judge the sins of mortals.

As soon as His Majesty made his appearance, an ironclad Order pressed upon everyone present, with everyone feeling a sharp pain on their scalps, as if numerous invisible swords were suspended above their heads, judging the goodness and evil of their thoughts, with everything being as transparent and piercing as a mirror—a pain direct to the bone. This Sword of Order was not Magic, unperceivable, and unstoppable.

An Su felt a numbing sensation on his scalp, even a faint pain, clearly a warning of danger from the instinct of a Saint—this man before him was extremely terrifying!

Aside from the Magic God Merlin, everyone present felt a faint pain in their heads, the pain of conscience.

Even fellow Demigods of the same Rank couldn't escape unscathed.

Only by passing the judgment of Order could one wield the invisible and countless Swords of Order above their head to pierce through an enemy's skull.

Count Karlo explained with a solemn expression.

An Su showed a serious look; opposite to Chaos was Order, and this Bishop could be suspected of being the Bishop of Chaos.

"Bishop Hughes is the Red-robed Bishop of the Order Church, and also a Sword Cultivator from the East," Count Karlo introduced the Bishop seriously, "Under many years of Order cultivation, He has realized the concept that all things can be a sword. Within His domain of Order Decree, rules are twisted, and anything could be manipulated into a sword."

"Therefore, He started to manipulate the hair on the enemies' heads. If they fail His Order judgment, He could use the hair to pierce through the enemies' skulls, thus the name 'Order Sword Suspended Above the Heads of All'."

Count Karlo's expression was quite serious.

"..." An Su fell silent, suspended above the heads of all men?

He scratched his head, feeling like his brain had almost developed.

No wonder he felt a tingling on his scalp—it turned out his hair was nearly turned into a sword!

"...So what is His Order judgment?" An Su asked expressionlessly, "Isn't He a Sword Cultivator, what's there to judge?"

"Bald people can pass His Order judgment," Count Karlo said seriously, "That's why this move is ineffective against Merlin."

An Su immediately felt his dignity drop to an all-time low and suspected Hughes might very well be the Bishop of Chaos.

"The fourth seat is held by the Druid and the Bishop of the Forest Cathedral, 'Apostle of Spring,' the Forest Elder," Count Karlo continued.

The Forest Elder, huh...

An Su looked towards the elderly Druid occupying that seat. The old man possessed a visage of kindness and respectability, radiating with life force, and surrounded by Great Elves flitting around him. He was the examiner for the Druid testing ground, and his Divine-given Title was 'Apostle of Spring.'

An unending stream of life force radiated from the Great Elf, caressing the faces of the populace like a spring breeze.

But An Su could sense the terror within it.

"His Majesty specializes in Elf Magic and can summon the strongest Wind Elves in the world." Count Karlo explained, "He can draw away the life force of all his enemies around him with a powerful suction, consuming everything nearby, and can expel the absorbed life force to purify others."

"Due to His formidable suction capability combined with the title of 'Apostle of Spring,' the Forest Elder named this Wind Elf—"
