Chapter 223 Bishop’s Arrangements and Future Development
After that, Anvis sought out the Duke to discuss matters concerning the ’Holy Object’.
Due to the previous burning, most of the Old God’s Blood in the Holy Grail had been consumed, but a small remnant still remained at the bottom of the cup.
After deliberating with the Duke, the two finally decided to hand over the empty Holy Grail, tainted with the aura of the Old Gods, to the Bishop to bring back as completion of his task.
Yanile would use the excuse that in the great battle with the Great Sacrificial Rite, the latter used the Holy Object as the core and burned the blood within it, temporarily awakening a Divine Incarnation, to explain the disappearance of the blood in the Holy Grail.
The advantage of this was that Yanile could use this merit to further elevate his position within the Church Court. Plus, with the key item now in hand, the church would no longer pay attention to this island.
The downside was that because the Bishop’s memory of returning with Old God’s Blood was intact, the so-called bath in the Divine Radiance might cause the Twisted Seed to be exposed.
However, Yanile, in his capacity as the Church Court’s elite talent, would sooner or later interact with the Church’s core elite, thus ’bathed in the Divine Radiance’ anyway.
Considering this, it would be better to take this opportunity to further probe the upper echelons of the Church Court.
After absorbing the Sealing, the Twisted Seed’s ability to lurk and activate had become one, and, furthermore, it gained the ability for remote control.
If necessary, Anvis could even use the power of the Ancient Secret Scripture for a brief arrival of will and stir up a scene by controlling Yanile.
