Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 911 - 188: Internal Collapse (Part 3)

The Goddess not only forgave his long-standing silence, but also purified his filthy soul and granted him a chance for redemption.

But...

What should he do next?

Solari sat up from the bed and looked around in confusion.

Now he couldn't even use his identity as a bishop. Not only that, but he had to hide from Carlo's spies, and under such circumstances, how could he single-handedly overthrow Carlo's deep-rooted rule over the Far West?

Even if he could return to the Crown of Dawn Cathedral and miraculously gather all the important figures, how could he make them believe everything he had experienced?

He couldn't prove the existence of the Magic Potion, nor could he prove that he had been chosen by the Goddess of Life.

Suddenly, Solari's confused gaze was drawn to the note on the table. He immediately leaned over and tightly clutched the note in his palm.

It contained only one name, yet it pointed him in the right direction.

Saint Mary.

This was the guidance from the Goddess of Life.

She was seen as the closest existence to the Goddess of Life in people's eyes. Many even believed that Mary was the reincarnation of the Goddess of Life, leading humanity out of the despair of the Crimson Epoch once more.

To the ruins.

This became Solari's sole thought.

...

"This way, Bishop Solari will lead us to the ruins."

Ethan explained to the people in the inn. They were unfamiliar with the Far West and urgently needed a guide like Solari, who was determined and familiar with the local conditions.

This guide's situation was somewhat similar to theirs; he would definitely avoid the Church Court's spies along the way as much as possible.

Bazatous' seven eyes were all focused on Ethan. He increasingly felt that getting along with humans was a kind of learning, just like now, as Ethan was engaging in actions he found hard to comprehend.

If it were him, once he considered Carlo an enemy, he wouldn't even need to meet him face to face and could drown the Archbishop in his own blood. In fact, when he found out that Carlo had ordered the excavation of the remains left by Bazarian, he had already planned to do so.

It seemed now that Ethan had a better plan.

Bazatous felt this was an opportunity for him to learn.

"Old Ba."

"Hmm?"

After some explanation, Ethan looked at the seven-eyed woman in the seat and... the three-headed snake lying on her shoulder, looking like a pet.

It seemed that their travel party had gained a new member out of thin air, but given Old Ba's destructiveness, he first had to ensure that the three-headed snake wasn't some important figure of the Church Court made of stitched flesh.

"This three-headed snake looks quite cute."

"I'm trying to learn from you."

"Learn from me?"

"I heard from the believers that when you left Ximu Town, you also gained an 'initial partner.'"

Actually, Miss Keroy, considered a divine bird by the Imperial People, was originally just a little hen from the chicken coop in Ximu Town. It was Ethan who transformed her form with a Werewolf collar. Theoretically, the Werewolf collar could be related to his powers as well.

"That's good."

Ethan was quite pleased.

Their Old Ba was becoming increasingly better.

Developing affection for small animals would release Bazatous' inner loving side.

"Where did this little guy come from?"

Ethan approached the three-headed snake, stroking each of its heads. The three-headed snake squinted its eyes, eagerly rubbing against his palm.

Clearly, this wasn't its original form. He guessed it might be some sort of small animal from the Far West that had transformed under Bazatous' power.

"Let me guess, it was originally a corn snake."

Ethan chose the most harmless type from the magical creature guide that could be kept as pets.

"Wrong guess."

Bazatous smiled and shook his head, "It's a mineshaft."

...

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle.

"What do you mean it's a mineshaft?"

"'Saint's Remains' mineshaft, that's what the locals call it."
