Chapter 1069: Chapter 378: First Like This, Then Like That, and Then Died_4

I dare not.

"The Pope has no right to nitpick the Holy Maiden, and her identity is very special; it’s inappropriate for me to inquire." Ivan sighed repeatedly, he wanted to ask, but he couldn’t distinguish if his daughter was really his daughter, fearing he might care about the wrong person.

The father-daughter relationship is quite complicated.

"Alright, I’ll handle the matter regarding Anna. There’s another issue that requires the support of the Dark Church."

Wayne succinctly explained the situation in Prussia: "Prussia wants to draw the Naturalism Church into the chariot, to provoke a religious war between churches. The Naturalism Church and its split will definitely provoke retaliation, and we need support from the Dark Church."

"Why not the Church of Sun and Moonlight, who are the allies of the Naturalism Church?" Ivan frowned tightly.

"This is the will of the Dark Goddess, any more questions?"

"Yes."

"Hmm?!"

"Hmm is useless, there are still questions."

Ivan, stern-faced, said: "It involves the strategic layout of the Church; it’s not something I can decide on my own. Supporting the Naturalism Church will inevitably provoke Prussia, resulting in a series of issues, including the possibility of bloodshed and sacrifices..."

"I must say directly, if this is the will of the Goddess, I am willing to comply, but if it’s just you..."

"The Philosopher’s Stone is the limit!"

"..."

Truly the father of Moonlight, either a firm yes or a firm no, adhering to principles, much like his daughter.

Wayne did not press any further, nodded and said: "Alright, I will have the Goddess speak with you."

"Mr. Wayne!"

Ivan stepped forward, steeling himself to say: "The Dark Church has its own interests, I hope you don’t deceive the Goddess with your flowery words, we are loyal to the Goddess, not to you, understand?"

Wayne’s expression became serious: "Rest assured, I am not a person who abuses power for personal gain, and I won’t threaten the Dark Church to gain personal benefits because of my relationship with the Goddess..."

"What about the Philosopher’s Stone?"

"Having the Dark Church support the Naturalism Church mainly aims to keep the Church out of the war; the consequences of escalating conflict are unimaginable."

Wayne sternly said: "You don’t have to worry about the Goddess favoring me; she is crazy, but not foolish, she won’t do things that don’t benefit her."

"And what about the Philosopher’s..."

"Shut up, only I speak here!"

Wayne glared at Ivan, then continued: "It’s just support from the Dark Church, not an alliance with the Naturalism Church. The main force is Heavenly Father’s Court; Heaven is Hell’s ultimate nemesis."

Ivan blinked, so what now, what about the Philosopher’s Stone, is it returned?

"Let’s leave it at that today, I’m just giving you a heads-up, prepare yourself, I am certain I will persuade the Goddess." Wayne stood up, and pushed the door open to leave under Ivan’s speechless gaze.

Two seconds later, Wayne returned the same way: "I am a person who likes quiet, I dislike crowded places. Also, for the reputation of the Dark Church, my residence is arranged next to the Hall of the Holy Maiden, the more secluded the better."

"..."

————

Ivan is principled to the max; he bears the responsibility of a Pope.

Wayne admires such people, but finds it hard to converse with them, just like with Gavin, Mula, Leo, including the previous Anastasia, completely lack common topics.

Dreyne is an exception, a gambling addict goes all-out with her bets; Wayne won dozens of nights from her, and she never honored them.

Given this shameless behavior, it would be a pity not to be brothers.

Leaving the office building, Wayne toured the Dark Church Headquarters. As an outsider, he was unable to visit many places, thought of contacting Anastasia but was restricted by space, unable to connect.

When disembarking the plane, Wayne tried.

Perhaps due to the distance, or perhaps for another reason, Wayne couldn’t reach Moonlight, the loyal Sarosia was the same.

Only Idinis...

This was more troublesome; Wayne didn’t attempt to contact her.

"It can only be her."

Wayne stepped into the dark forest, holding the Philosopher’s Stone, vanishing on the spot.

The Philosopher’s Stone has many uses; holding this stone grants control over life and death within the Dark Church Headquarters, and freely navigating through spatial restrictions is just the most common method.

Ludwig had used the Philosopher’s Stone in the Naturalism Church Headquarters to teleport at will, he could have escaped narrowly believing the lies of the Hell Demon Lord, thinking only Angels could enter and leave with the Power of Heaven’s Seal, firmly believing Saina couldn’t kill him, which is why he didn’t flee the Church Headquarters immediately.

Almost simultaneously, in a great hall of the Dark Church Headquarters, a burly man in a Black Robe sat cross-legged before a complex sacrificial altar.

The man’s aura was elusive, strangely elusive.

A human-height Crystal Ball flashed an image of Wayne walking through the forest, the last scene showed Wayne holding the Philosopher’s Stone and vanishing.

"The Philosopher’s Stone that only the Pope could control was given to an outsider..."

The man was incredibly surprised: "Ivan, what are you doing, is this something you can just give away?"

"Heh, betraying the Church to pledge allegiance to the Natural Woman..."

"You hypocrite, I finally caught you red-handed!"
