This Holy Knight is So Despicable!

As a palm-sized cloud merged into the foundation of the main hall of the Holy Light Divine Court, a vast Imperial Garden rapidly unfolded.

Within a very short time, the size of the Holy Light Divine Domain expanded by an unknown multiple.

Once the entire Imperial Garden was fully opened, the original Holy Light Divine Palace had already become the gateway to this garden.

Lette found this arrangement quite satisfactory, so he didn't make any further adjustments.

After all, the Imperial Garden itself is a very complete entity. Inside, there are not only office areas and sleeping quarters but also places for leisure, strolls, and relaxation.

Even without the original Holy Light Divine Court, it could independently handle all the court operations.

Now, the original Holy Light Divine Court could just be used as the headquarters' office building, specifically managing external engagements and cooperation with other God Systems.

As for their main department's affairs, naturally, they would be moved to the more comfortable office environment inside the Imperial Garden.

The key is, with such a large divine domain, many things Lette had wanted to do could finally be tackled.

For instance, improving the Holy Light Divine Court's security defense capabilities!

The original small temple was almost like an office building, making it impossible for Lette to make enhancements even if he wanted to.

It would be a futile effort akin to carving intricate designs on a sesame seed.

Now, it's different.

This Imperial Garden is not only grand and atmospheric, but its sheer land area is comparable to some small Divine Countries.

In this scenario, Lette has enough space to showcase his skills.

"Noel, Nora, you two sisters take everyone around the Imperial Garden to get well acquainted with your upcoming work and living environment."

Afra turned back to look at Lette: "What about you? Won't you come with us?"

"I have important matters to attend to!"

"Really? Do you need my help?"

"Need it!"

"How can I help?"

"Don't help!"

Afra puffed up her cheeks angrily and followed the main group, while Joanna looked towards Lette, who gestured reassuringly to her. Contemplating for a moment, she too left with Noel and Nora through the front gate.

Once everyone had left, Lette walked into the original main hall of the Holy Light Divine Court and found the previously established [Lord of Divine Court].

Faced with the threat of the Angel Envoy of the Gate of Truth at that time, Lette instigated Afra and Joanna to jointly establish the Holy Light Divine Court.

Yet, for safety, neither of them took on the role of Lord of the Divine Court but instead employed a slight trick by fabricating a power core of the Gate of Truth and placed it on the throne of the Lord of Divine Court.

This was originally a trap laid out by Lette, but unexpectedly the envoy was so ineffectual that it couldn't threaten the court, let alone trigger the trap.

Since it was convenient and could avoid responsibility and punishment, Lette had no intention of replacing it.

However, it was still the Lord of the Divine Court in authority only.

To manipulate the evolution of the entire court, it was still necessary to go through this power core to complete the task.

Lette placed his hand on the core, marked with the power of the Gate of Truth, instantly seizing control with his spiritual power and began constructing the perimeter Defense Barrier of the entire Divine Court.

"Oh! So this is the important matter you were talking about!"

Lette was taken aback by the voice and turned around, finding Afra returning, curious about the situation here.

"Why did you come back?"

"I... want to help. After all, I am one of the God lords of the court, how can I not contribute a bit?"

Lette rolled his eyes: "The God lord of the court is this Energy Ball, not you, alright?"

Afra puffed out her cheeks and glared at Lette, then sulkily lowered her head.

"I just feel that I've been relying on your power too much lately, yet I can't help with anything.

Even though I'm a Holy Light Goddess like Sister Joanna, a Main God of the Lower Realm, and a Governor of the Divine Court,

yet... it feels like I am just a mascot."

Seeing her like this, Lette felt a slight pang of sympathy.

He took a deep breath and softly called out her name.

"Afra?"

"Hmm?"

"You are a mascot."

"...I hate you!"

"But!"

Seeing that Afra was really about to cry, Lette hurriedly intervened.

"You are a pretty good mascot."

"If you don't know how to praise someone, it's okay not to."

Lette laughed heartily, waving her over: "Alright then, since you rarely show a bit of ambition, finally deciding not to waste time anymore, I'll give you a chance.

Coincidentally, with you as the legitimate Holy Light Goddess as a medium, it would make my layout adjustments much smoother."

Afra immediately stepped up: "Though it feels odd, does this mean I'm useful now?"

"More or less. Hold this power core and as I adjust the defense structures, you can memorize these operations. Later on, you can slowly contemplate and comprehend them.

After becoming a Rule God, if you want to advance further, you cannot just follow routines; you must carve out your own path.

Yet before that, keenly observing the paths others have tread is also an important part."

Lette placed the power core in Afra's hand, then patted her head.

Under the immense spiritual power, Lette soon indirectly controlled the entire Divine Court by manipulating Afra's body and Divine Power.

Just as he said, having the legitimate identity was indeed very beneficial.

Manipulating through Afra, the resistance became negligible and everything was as flexible as his own arms, enabling him to put things together with ease.

Soon, the first line of defense had already established an unshakeable array over the Divine Domain.

These were defense barriers that Lette re-analyzed over the years, with powers five to six times stronger than regular Divine Spell Barriers.

"Alright, the purely defensive barriers are set up."

"Set up, so quickly?"

"Don't move, there're still over a hundred more defenses!"

Hearing this figure, Afra was utterly bewildered and quivered as she asked.

"Didn't you just say? The defensive barriers are already set up."

"Those are purely defensive; besides them, there are half-defensive, half-offensive, half-defensive, half-destroyer, full offensive, full destroyer, full destruction schemes..."

As Lette counted them one by one, Afra became dizzy.

"If you keep setting things up this way, won't we be unable to leave?! Or will we be unable to return once we step outside?"

"I'm not stupid; under normal circumstances, there won't be any problem, of course."

Lette said, spreading his hands: "But you know, normal circumstances are not so easy to remain normal."

"Then what can we do?"

"Stop fussing! At worst, we'll just get heavily injured. It's not so easy to die.

It won't be long before the Dragon Clan comes to me—I can use them to test the power of these defensive barriers!"
