Alice’s perspective moved forward alongside the liquid puppet Barbara’s perspective.
After the battle between Daylight and Thunder ended, Harms found "Vivian" and prepared to and the plan set earlier.
Harms was so fervent, he had no doubt that "Vivian" could easily defeat and kill the three Gods.
In fact, Harms wasn’t the only one with such confidence. All the mbers of the Pseudo-Dusk Council that Alice saw through the puppet had full confidence in "Vivian’s" strength, believing she could clear away all obstacles of this era and pave the way for a new era exclusively for the followers of Twilight.
Alice, using the intelligence gathered through the puppet, investigated all the mbers of the Pseudo-Dusk Council she had co into contact with, within the Thunder Church and the postal network.
Their origins were different, so were the lowest of the poor, others were privileged nobility, and there were even church mbers like Harms.
In fact, under Harms’ deceptive operations, the developnt of the Pseudo-Dusk Council had long since escaped the control of the War God Church, with mbers found in virtually all major churches.
"Vivian" was their common faith, and they firmly believed that one day, the Twilight Saintess would resurrect and shatter this dark world, just as she did a thousand years ago.
However, unlike Harms, the majority of the Pseudo-Dusk Council mbers that Alice ca across, regardless of their status, belonged to the category of discontent individuals within their circles.
They were ostracized from their circles and stumbled upon the teachings of Twilight in their pain and loneliness.
After reading a series of works about the Twilight Saintess, they gradually understood one truth: We are not wrong, it’s this world that is.
As long as this old world is destroyed, everything will go well, just as the Dawn Continent experienced rapid developnt after the death of the Twilight Saintess.
Contrary to ordinary intuition, the return of the church and Gods a thousand years ago did not imdiately plunge the world into darkness. Even in the eyes of the long-lived species, the period after the Twilight of the Gods was brimming with vitality across the continent.
Fearing the rise of another Vivian, the rebuilt churches, though regaining control of the continent under the gradually recovering Gods, did not dare to claim all the benefits for themselves. They began to offer concessions to nobles, commoners, and even the lowest of the poor, with exaggerated instances of church-distributed free als being far more sumptuous than the daily als of an average Viscount.
This period, known as the Divine Awakening Era, is still fondly rembered by many today.
However, when the clergy realized that Vivian seed truly dead, and that the Twilight of the Gods might never return, there was no longer a need to sacrifice their benefits since there was no one to suddenly erge and kill them.
After the Divine Awakening Era, the entire Dawn Continent took a downward turn, rapidly moving towards the Abyss.
It was in such an environnt that the Pseudo-Dusk Council was born.
Just as discontent individuals often hope to strike it rich overnight through the lottery, these dissatisfied individuals in their respective circles naturally hoped for an uncontrollable force that could violently destroy the existing order, allowing them to beco the rulers of a new world without any hindrance.
Yes, these believers in the Twilight Saintess never intended to save the Dawn Continent; their goal was rely to beco rulers of the new world.
Under Harms’ guidance, the puppet Barbara entered the Temple of the War God, slowly advancing towards the War God’s Divine Realm.
The familiar corridor appeared before Alice, but this ti, Alice’s ntality was completely different.
The War God might really be dead.
This fact was confird by Claude.
Alice felt a slight regret in her heart.
Not that she pitied the War God, but she felt empty because she couldn’t take revenge personally.
The ti she t the War God was the most powerless mont in Alice’s life; no matter how great a difficulty she t before or after, Alice could always find a sliver of opportunity.
But the encounter with the War God was different; the arrogant War God Realm blocked almost all of Alice’s ans, making her realize profoundly that in the face of absolute strength, all strategies are futile.
It was this lesson that made Alice not dare to stop improving her strength for even a mont.
Even after obtaining the Treasure Card Magic Guidebook, allowing her to summon formidable beings like Qishala, she never believed she could rest easy for the rest of her life.
One should never pin their survival hopes on others because you never know what thods your enemy will use to sever your ties with those you depend on, nor do you know how much harm this complete reliance might bring to those you depend on.
When Alice encountered the War God, she was too weak, relying solely on Claude’s help.
Although from the outco, Claude achieved absolute victory, with the War God dying due to this battle, the feeling when Alice saw Claude grievously wounded and near death was sothing she never wants to recall, as if the sky was falling.
