Chapter 419: Chapter 249 Proposal (14,000)_4

Thinking of this, her heart seemed to skip a beat, instinctively wanting to find her beloved.

Just a wisp of residual power could make her, while possessed by the Divine, almost die on the spot.

That guy was obviously so weak, could it be…

Tiya hurriedly scrambled up, a strong wave of sadness surged in her heart, making it almost impossible to breathe, even ignoring the onlookers around her.

But what she didn’t expect was.

Such a small gesture instantly aroused the astonishment of all the people present.

“Your Highness, you…”

Especially the middle-aged man leading the group, wearing a ceremonial robe, with a serious and solemn expression, couldn’t help but grip the scepter engraved with the Moonlight Angel’s relief, hesitating to speak.

His name was Stel, the United Archbishop of the Glostin Parish, and apart from the Bright Moon Goddess, the most powerful person in the entire Silent Church.

And, one of the few males in the Church.

According to rumors outside, he seemed to have half Forest Elf Clan blood, which was evident from his sharp, elongated ears.

Perhaps this is why the aesthetic-obsessed mad Goddess Beatrice chose him to be the Pope.

Seeing Archbishop Stel make a move, Sister Gret also took two steps forward, her somewhat aged eyes fixed tightly on Tiya, with complex emotions flashing within.

After all, in a certain sense, the girl before her was recently chosen by her as a vessel for the Goddess, but now had undergone a change akin to a reversal of roles.

On the other side, noticing the expressions of everyone, Tiya instantly realized the issue at hand.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze at her was filled with doubt and awe, as if they wanted to verify some suspicion in their minds.

The reason was simple.

The Moonlight Holy Scripture was a ritual held by Beatrice, whose true form had been corrupted, to seize Tiya’s body.

However, since no church member witnessed the entire process, naturally no one knew whether this ritual succeeded, or if the true Bright Moon Goddess Beatrice had already replaced the former Saintess Tiya.

This was an unknown to everyone in the Church.

But as devout believers of the Bright Moon Goddess, including Archbishop Stel, none dared to inquire at this moment, as this was undoubtedly seen as blasphemy and offense against the Divine.

Realizing this, Tiya took a deep breath.

Perhaps having completely escaped the original fate of death, or maybe because of everything that happened that night, she had grown in a short period. In any case, in facing such a situation, she showed none of the previous panic or flaws.

As the Church Court’s Holy Maiden, her depth of study of the Divine scriptures far exceeded ninety percent of the Cardinals. Those obscure pieces of knowledge appeared to her as clear as crystal.

So in terms of understanding miracles and history, Tiya, in some ways, was actually not inferior to Archbishop Stel.

But even so, she still believed that what occurred at the Divine Moon Gap was absolutely beyond these people’s imagination.

After all, slaying the Divine is too absurd.

Even for her, if she hadn’t been a participant in the event, she would never believe such a thing.

So at this moment, all the high-ranking church members present, including Sister Gret and the Archbishop, believed that with Beatrice’s power and status as the Bright Moon Goddess, even if there were some small interruptions in the process, she ultimately achieved her goal of occupying Tiya’s body.

As the most loyal believers of the Bright Moon Goddess, they firmly believed She possessed supreme power.

When ordinary believers were still contemplating the profound meaning behind the moon’s change that night, these devout believers considered themselves already informed—it was the holy miracle of the Bright Moon Goddess’s descent, enough to make all gods take notice.

They had no reason to believe that the Bright Moon Goddess would fail.

In other words, in their eyes, the girl now standing before them was no longer the former Silent Saintess Tiya, but the Bright Moon Goddess they all devoutly worshiped.

No one knew what had truly happened that night.

No one at all knew.

Realizing this point, Tiya finally let go of half the weight on her heart.

She was well aware of what she needed to do for her current self.

Not only to preserve herself, but mainly to quickly meet Lynn.

Lynn had yet to escape the fate of being wanted, and with her current weak strength, let alone the Fourth Rank, even if she were a Sixth Rank Demigod at the moment, plus the identity of the Silent Saintess, it would still be difficult to help Lynn against the impending world-shaking schemes of the enemies.

For the second time in her life, Tiya felt so insignificant.

As for the first time, it was naturally during the Divine Moon Gap.

She must gain even stronger power, only then can she help him!

Such a thought suddenly emerged in her mind.

Tiya was not foolish; she naturally understood that the current predicament was not just an ordeal, but also an unprecedented opportunity.

An opportunity… to take control of the Silent Church.

With this thought in mind, Tiya, just getting up from the Moonstone Altar, instantly dialed up her acting skills.

The panic and confusion she wore on her face a moment ago vanished instantly, replaced by cold indifference and authority.

What she needed to do was actually very simple.

She had to pretend to be Beatrice, act as if she had been possessed, and face the church hierarchy with the demeanor of a Divine.
