I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Ambundo City,

Lionel walked ahead of Lis and Taya, with two guards clad in iron armor beside him, controlling the still unconscious Fess.

"Lord Lis, you may take your companions and tour Ambundo City."

"Take this, it is the church's token. If you need anything, you can inform the church's divine officers."

"I will first report the related matters to the archbishop, including your request."

Lionel handed Lis a palm-sized black and red short sword, which carried an inexplicable sacred aura, similar to the Divine Sword Statue in Ambundo City.

Lis took the sword-like token from Lionel's hand and, after a glance, stored it in his storage ring.

He had been thinking of finding an excuse to wander around this Holy City, and now the opportunity presented itself.

As for whether the War God Church would agree to his request, Lis didn't mind much.

Even if the issue concerning Slaughter Knight Fess wasn't enough for the War God Church to pay such a price, Lis could still negotiate with them as the leader of Nature's Wrath.

After all, there was cooperation between the two sides, and if Lis was willing to pay the price, he had the qualifications.

Unknowingly, Lis had already achieved his current status and position. As a World Tree Favored, even the Pope of the War God Church needed to give Lis his due respect.

Seeing this, Lis took Taya and walked towards the center of the Holy City.

Lionel, seeing Lis leave, instructed the church servants to follow him from a distance and prevent the Elf Sage from encountering any accidents in the Holy City.

After giving the instructions, Lionel led the people towards the northern part of Ambundo City.

That was where the core church of Ambundo City was, the most critical place of the War God Church.

...

"Archbishop Flynn, that is essentially the situation."

In a secret room of the church, Lionel stood respectfully before an elderly man with a kind face and said reverently.

"Lionel, well done."

The archbishop of the War God Church, the Legendary Strongman 'Undying Guardian' Flynn Edvin glanced at the collapsed Fess on the floor and nodded.

"Go and rest for a while first, I will discuss the decision regarding Slaughter Knight Fess with Abraham."

"As for Lord Lis, arrange for someone to inform him that the church agrees with his request and will arrange for his companion to receive the War God Baptism."

"If he is not in a hurry to leave Ambundo, tell him that I and some old friends would like to meet him."

"Yes."

Lionel responded with his head bowed, somewhat surprised that the usually silent archbishop had spoken so much this time.

However, he didn't dwell on it and then left the room.

These were decisions made by the highest legendary crowns of the church, beyond his influence.

After Lionel gently closed the door, Flynn looked down at Fess and shook his head.

"Indeed, she has breached the precepts..."

"What's your thought, Abraham?"

On a chair that was previously empty, appeared a black-armored warrior with a deep and commanding aura, his figure seemingly merged with the shadows of the room, yet exuding an indescribable majesty and power.

If the feeling conveyed by Archbishop Flynn was warming and soothing, then the black-armored warrior represented cold and iron blood. After countless fierce battles, he would not be easily swayed by external influences.

"Handle it as it should be handled."

A cold voice emerged from Abraham, expressing indifference.

Flynn shook his head, knowing that his friend was not as composed and unconcerned as he appeared.

"Appropriate punishment will be there, but after all, Fess is your only granddaughter."

"Precisely because of this, she cannot repeat the mistake!"

Abraham looked at the unconscious Fess, the aura emanating from his body slightly fluctuating, somewhat chaotic and violent.

"It's my fault that led her, who was not qualified enough, to become a Slaughter Knight, otherwise, such things would not have occurred."

"Let Fess enter the City of Slaughter, if she can change and rely on her own strength to walk out, only then will she be qualified to make up for her past mistakes."

"City of Slaughter..."

Flynn hesitated, it was not a good place.

It's not that the City of Slaughter was some treacherous terrain, but it was an extremely important place of the War God Church.

The divine officers of the War God Church, to maintain the church's faith and rule, would hunt down those fugitives who destroyed and opposed the War God Church.

If successfully captured, they would be brought back and imprisoned in the City of Slaughter.

The City of Slaughter was not a city in the desert, but rather a tightly sealed underground city by the War God Church, equivalent to the church's highest security prison.

After throwing those fugitives into the City of Slaughter, the church no longer intervened, only using divine power to seal the entrances of the city.

Thus, the War God Church could not intervene in the affairs within the City of Slaughter, so those living inside formed their own order and way of life.

Of course, because the War God Church threw in those fugitives who were mainly Extraordinary professionals with at least a few murders on their hands, the basic rule there was the survival of the fittest.

The War God Church didn't build the City of Slaughter only to imprison criminals, it invested enormous costs in it.
