Chapter 806: Chapter 318: Omen (6k)

"Are you planning to attack during tomorrow’s ritual?"

On a spaceship not far outside the Paradise control zone, Bai Yi’s expression was subtle as she looked at the intelligence report from Vlad in the communication.

She had just left the Paradise control zone and was preparing to jump, not expecting to receive such a message right before the jump.

"Yes, this is the information the president of the Judgment Order just conveyed to me, allegedly from an infiltrator they planted on the other side.

Moreover, this infiltrator is also part of the upcoming assault team.

The president means that since the information is ultimately used against us, and the infiltrator is thus consumed, the costs for subsequent infiltrator exchanges should be borne by us.

And, she asked if we needed support."

Vlad answered honestly. As Bai Yi’s controller of the Red Moon Church in the Starry Sky, he knew the truth about tomorrow’s ritual all too well, so at this moment, he had a similar expression to Bai Yi.

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to say that the Martial Cultivation Association had truly found a good opportunity.

Tomorrow’s ritual is nothing other than to switch the power source of the relic system they use to Bai Yi’s latest research, "Heaven Mountain."

Now that the "server" of this artificial relic system is updated, the believers as the "clients" cannot continue using the original setup; they need an update as well.

Those artificial Abnormal Objects as inanimate can be dealt with freely.

But the parts that have already fused with the believers and integrated with their souls require Bai Yi to personally modify them to ensure success.

That’s why they are all gathered here, under the guise of a ritual, for Bai Yi to undertake large-scale sculpting and adjustments of their souls.

Officially, it’s to welcome the descent of a god.

—This explanation isn’t deceiving, since Bai Yi will indeed arrive almost simultaneously tomorrow to take the opportunity of the power switch to collect more data.

This ritual can indeed be considered a welcoming of a god’s descent.

Initially, the ritual was essentially intended to leverage the strengthening from the new power source to significantly enhance the cohesion and faith of those low-tier believers below.

This reason is even indiscernible to the Judgment Order.

But also due to the arrival of Bai Yi’s avatar, the Red Moon Church is currently in nearly its strongest state, and the timing of the Martial Cultivation Association’s attack is indeed quite "opportune."

Had it been slightly earlier or later, Bai Yi would have left the church’s planet to preserve the persona she had established in the Starry Sky and to avoid any association with the Red Moon Church, which she intended to use as a dark hand in the future.

It truly is coincidental...

Nevertheless, the intelligence isn’t without use, as knowing it now allows for prior preparation to avoid being caught off guard.

How to specifically arrange this can be discussed later; the priority now is to provide a response to that president.

Regardless of the other party’s intentions, they’ve informed the Red Moon Church at the first opportunity after obtaining the intelligence and have sacrificed an infiltrator in the process, now specifically asking if combat support is needed.

These contributions are genuine, and it’s only right to respond quickly to avoid keeping them waiting.

Moreover, pondering too long can also arouse suspicion.

After replaying the information Vlad just relayed in her mind, Bai Yi first asked:

"What price does the infiltrator have to pay?"

Vlad repeated the terms the president mentioned earlier; the conditions aren’t difficult, at least not for her.

Whether it’s security or promotion, simply allotting a witch’s spot can immediately resolve the issue.

After all, once becoming a witch, reaching Tier Six is undoubtedly no problem.

And safety is nothing to worry about; not to mention being a witch comes with the protection of all her forces, even finding her would be a problem for the Martial Cultivation Association after becoming a witch.

Not to mention the inherent privilege of having access to the Heroic Spirit Hall makes dying impossible.

Although the process might slightly differ from what the infiltrator expected, you could say if the condition is met or not!

One problem is solved, so next is to respond to that president.

Given the current strength of the Red Moon Church, without her involvement, they certainly can’t handle the Martial Cultivation Association’s attack, especially since the opponent has sent as many as seven Tier Six members whose power is overwhelmingly crushing.

Even if Vlad’s own enhanced ability tomorrow allows him to face two by himself, and his Tier Five members can reach Tier Six combat power by relying on still Abnormal Objects in their souls, high-end combat power still can’t withstand it.

Not to mention those numerous Tier Fives.

And due to her identity, she cannot openly support the Red Moon Church, with which she has no explicit connection.

—According to her plan, the Red Moon Church and the Insect Swarm would take the underworld path, while she would build a legitimate force through the worldly path using her Life Aura affinity.

Relying on both to infiltrate the Starry Sky society.

Now, in the Starry Sky, she has gained some recognition among low-tier and high-ranking Transcendents through the fan club and potion gatherings, respectively.

The Red Moon Church was merely placed by her as a pawn to support the Insect Swarm in the Starry Sky, and she couldn’t abandon her current plan just to help the Red Moon Church fend off an attack.

"But it’s not that there’s no way to act; I just can’t openly stand together with the Red Moon Church under the guise of my current ’Fan Mao within Paradise.’
