Chapter 3366: DescendingEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The real world.

Hadin Reyes saw Archbishop Auston returning with the Judgment Knight Legion’s spirits back to their bodies and immediately stepped forward to ask about the situation.

”Archbishop Auston, how was it?”

Auston’s expression was grave as he gently shook his head.

At once, the entire sixteenth-floor hall fell into a deathly silence.

The oracles exchanged glances, each seeing disbelief in the other’s eyes.

Shaking his head—what did that mean?

Defeated?

Even the Judgment Knight Legion, personally led by Archbishop Auston, could lose?

”The origin of the unknown spirit construct was unclear, and its power was very strong,” Archbishop Auston said in a low, steady voice after calming himself. ”Seal the entrance to the spiritual world immediately! Pass down my order—summon the main Judgment Bearer team to gather and eliminate the intruder.”

”Yes!”

Auston then turned to Hadin Reyes and asked, ”Also, who else entered the sixteenth layer of the spiritual world recently?”

Hadin Reyes reported, ”Archbishop, yesterday a student from the Holy Church Academy entered.”

A student?

Auston raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, ”Do we have his information?”

An oracle beside him immediately brought over Adam’s registration record.

”This person’s name is Adam,” Leo stepped forward half a step, handed the file over, and said, ”Lord Bishop, there is something that must be reported. Adam’s classmate, Celia, came to the temple’s sixteenth floor not long ago, asking about him. It’s said that Adam did not return last night.”

Auston quickly flipped through the information, his brows tightly furrowed.

”Check the Church’s records on Adam and Celia. Bring both of them here for questioning immediately!”

”Yes!”

The oracles hurried to carry out the order.

The hall grew eerily quiet.

Two minutes later, another Oracle rushed in, ”Archbishop! There’s a report.”

”Speak.”

”Three other Holy Spirit Temples have reported spirit world assault incidents. Based on the descriptions of each case, it is highly likely they were all attacked by spirit constructs with lightning attributes.”

”What?!”

Auston’s expression changed dramatically.

Not only was it attacked?

Auston suddenly had a very bad feeling.

The lightning-type spirit construct incidents were very likely premeditated—and aimed at the Church!

”Report!” Another Judgment Bearer hurried into the room, saying, ”Archbishop, we have found Celia. She had been staying in the lower levels of the Holy Spirit Temple. She’s been brought here.”

”Bring her in.”

”Yes.”

Celia walked into the teleportation hall under the escort of two Judgment Bearers.

She was still confused about what was happening.

Last night, Adam had failed to show up at the inn as they had arranged, and she thought he had simply gone back to the temple again. So she came early this morning to the Holy Spirit Temple to find him.

Unexpectedly, instead of finding Adam, the temple suddenly went under lockdown as she was about to leave, and she was trapped inside.

Then the oracles summoned her here.

Seeing the oracles’ grave expressions, she faintly guessed that something serious had happened at the temple and had a growing sense of unease.

Could it be related to Adam?

Celia raised her head and saw Archbishop Auston of the Church in the room. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly bowed and said, ”Holy Church student Celia greets the Archbishop.”

”Celia, are you close with Adam? Where is he now?”

As expected!

It was related to Adam!

Celia’s heart pounded wildly. She did not dare to hide anything and immediately said, ”Lord Bishop, Adam and I were supposed to meet at the inn last night, but he never showed up. Early this morning, I came to the Church to look for him. Before I could leave, the lockdown happened...”

Hadin Reyes stared at Celia and asked, ”Celia, you came with Adam. Are you familiar with him? How much do you know about his background? Is there anything you need to report to us?”

Celia’s heart tightened, and she hurried to distance herself. ”Reporting to the Archbishop, I am not close to Adam. I was assigned by my mentor, Bishop Bruno of the Eastern Region, to make contact with Adam and monitor his activities closely.”

”Oh? Monitor?” Auston frowned and asked, ”Why?”

”Not long ago, Bishop Maxim of the Holy Eagle City branch Church fell seriously ill and lost contact. Adam entered the Eastern Church Academy with Bishop Maxim’s letter of recommendation.

”Bishop Bruno might have received some intelligence and suspected something about Bishop Maxim’s disappearance. That’s why he ordered me to secretly monitor Adam. In addition, Bishop Bruno also secretly sent people to Holy Eagle City to investigate. I don’t know the results of that investigation.”

At those words, the hall once again fell silent.

Bishop Bruno was cautious.

It seemed Adam indeed had a serious problem.

”Also...”

As silence hung heavy, Celia glanced around nervously and said carefully, ”A few days ago, just before the Thunder Basin explosion, Adam went there under the pretext of conducting a field study.”

The Thunder Basin explosion!

That, too, was related to Adam?

Archbishop Auston’s brows furrowed tighter. A deep sense of foreboding rose in his chest.

All recent anomalous incidents were somehow linked to a student named Adam.

It was as if an invisible hand was secretly manipulating everything from the shadows.

Auston said in a deep voice, ”Issue a warrant for Adam’s arrest. Prepare for the Oracle Sacrifice Ceremony. Unknown spiritual body attacks have appeared across multiple spiritual worlds—this must be reported to the God Clan.”

”Yes!”

....

At that moment, Adam, whom the Church was searching for, was in the Central Divine Kingdom—inside a building not far from the Holy Spirit Temple. Through the window, he quietly observed the temple a few hundred meters away.

Damon received a report from his subordinate and whispered in Adam’s ear, ”Mr. Adam, the Church is making a move. Ten minutes ago, my men saw Archbishop Auston go to the altar to summon the God Clan.”

”Mm.”

Adam nodded lightly.

In fact, Fang Heng had just learned that the three members of the God Clan who oversaw this world did not stay here all day. They descended only at fixed times each week.

In addition, the Church could use special rituals to summon the God Clan to descend in a very short time.

Suddenly, Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

”They’re here!”

Zane also sensed the oppressive aura of the God Clan, quickly concealing his own and hiding inside Adam’s body.

Fang Heng, still in his soul body form, raised his head and looked toward the distant center of the city.

Along with a surge of overwhelming pressure, three immense waves of holy power spread out from the center of the Central Divine Kingdom.

Golden holy light spread out rapidly, covering the entire city in an instant.

Damon’s heart pounded violently. Looking through the window at the three towering pillars of holy light rising from the city center, his eyes filled with fear as he muttered, ”Gods... It’s the power of the God Clan! Adam, three members of the God Clan have descended at once!”
