Chapter 532: Chapter 428: Trading Life for the Continuation of Civilization_1 Chapter 532: Chapter 428: Trading Life for the Continuation of Civilization_1 ‘If that guy really is the ‘Honest Knight’, then… who bewitched it to find Earth and then use all sorts of dirty tricks to keep drawing people over?’

‘Based on the cognition of the people here, they generally have a concept of ‘other worlds’, but it seems they are other World Codes.’

‘And their knowledge of Earth is basically zero, so the chances of that guy finding Earth on his own are very small…’

As Colin conversed with Shana, he mulled over it, and thoughts flickered through his mind.

However, he couldn’t be certain of that guy’s identity; the “Human Patchwork Monster” might not be the “Honest Knight.”

Given that thing’s characteristics…

It might simply be one of its many disguises.

To figure out who it really is, with all the twists and turns, you’ll probably only know for sure by catching him in person.

‘Do you know of a special life form…’ Colin looked at Shana, mentioning the “Human Patchwork Monster.”

An abnormal presence lurking behind the scenes.

If left unresolved, it would always be a hidden threat.

Of course, if caught, he could also settle the upgrade of the “Fusion Card: Smiling Corpse Mountain.”

Colin vaguely felt that this thing’s limit should be at least to grow three heads.

‘No…’ The Saintess thought for a few seconds, and her brain swiftly ‘scanned’ through all the abnormalities she had heard of or seen since the age of three, finally shaking her head.

If she had really come across such a special form of creature, she would definitely have some recognition of it.

Pausing, without waiting for Colin to speak, she added, ‘But one thing, if it’s extremely cautious and has many identities, then it must be aware of me and be guarded because nobody can hide in front of me in this world…’

As she spoke, she unconsciously glanced at Colin.

Since the time of Helena, besides some information given through parchment, she had also glimpsed some things with her own ability, like… a vague, emaciated, pure, and friendly soul.

Back then, this soul’s figure seemed to be troubled by something, so weak it could hardly stand, but now…

It seemed to have grown much fatter and stronger?

‘Well then.’

Colin sighed in regret, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if he had thought of something else, ‘By the way, isn’t one of the twenty-three Bishops of your ‘Light’ Church supposed to arrive today? Want to meet him?’

‘Gordon? I think I can sense that he is approaching this area, but I’d rather not meet him…’

Perhaps because they had grown quite familiar with each other, the Saintess said, ‘Although there’s no conflict with the ‘Light’ Church… the relationship isn’t that good either, especially those Bishops, Elders, and core members higher up. They probably wouldn’t be happy to see me.’

‘Eh?’ Colin was taken aback, immediately thinking of some internal factional strife.

It’s just… does it feel like the Saintess is including all factions in her description?

Shana gave him a look as if observing something, causing Colin to have the sensation that his ‘true self’ had been glimpsed.

But before he could reflect on this meaning, he heard her say, ‘Let me tell you a secret that’s not really a secret, Mr. Colin, do you know about the Holy Light Court?’

‘I know…’

If Colin remembered correctly, this was the predecessor to the “Light” Church, but for some reason, it fell apart.

‘The Holy Light Court, in some sense, was overthrown by the ‘Light’s Saint… well, my predecessors, of course, some others were involved too, but the main force was us…’

‘Eh?’ A phrase popped into Colin’s mind: The prince staging a coup?

‘Originally, the ‘Holy Light Court’ strayed from the right path in the name of ‘Light’, attempted to rid humanity of desire, causing the Pale Catastrophe, among other things. As a result, the Third Generation Holy One emerged consecutively, dismantled the main body of the ‘Holy Light Court’ and caused it to split apart, so not only the ‘Light’ Church, most powers arising from the split of the ‘Holy Light Court’ don’t care much for me…’

‘Ah?’ Colin was startled, but quickly realized something: ‘Consecutively emerged? Isn’t the Saint chosen by themselves?’

‘That’s not the case…’ The Saintess provided an unexpected answer.

She didn’t leave Colin hanging and simply explained this aspect: ”Light’ is quite special, it’s not passed down from generation to generation. It only happens when there’s something going on, some time, someone becomes… it’s hard to explain.’

She left out some details… for instance, it was she who chose the “Light,” not the “Light” choosing her.

Meanwhile, as he listened to her, Colin felt that a more appropriate phrase was ‘born for the times.’

The “Light” Saint, or more accurately, the Saint of “Light,” emerges with a certain natural mission to do something, maybe to avert disasters or something else…

But among the most famous is the Saint who overthrew the misguided ‘Holy Light Court.’

This…

Colin roughly understood why all the believers of the “Light” were not too keen on her.

Not because there was a conflict between them, but because once the Saint appears, all forces related to the “Light” faith become quite awkward…

Who knows if any of them have strayed from the right path again?

No? How did the “Saint” emerge without any straying?

‘It seems you’ve understood,’ came the Saintess’s voice from the side.

‘It is indeed quite awkward,’ Colin nodded.

No wonder in the information gathered, this Saint was often associated with words like ‘alone’ and ‘solitary.’
