It was evident that the large-scale copying of forbidden knowledge by the Traditional Faction unsurprisingly triggered a catastrophic uncontrolled disaster.
Even though they had already dismantled the original text of the "Gospel of Heaven" in advance, minimizing the pollution to the greatest extent.
But these nuns, copying over long periods, lacked systematic black sorcery knowledge to reconcile the pollution, naturally inviting calamity.
This was also the fallback plan prepared by Abbess Theresa from the start.
If she couldn't dissolve Margaret and her group's resentnt towards her, she would drag the entire monastery down.
Once they accidentally died in the process of copying the scriptures, the resentnt would naturally shift from her to the entire Malta Monastery.
Even the Uncrowned King, wanting revenge, would overlook such a minor character.
Such sneaky individuals may struggle to achieve great deeds, but in causing mischief, they excel.
"Hiss—!"
Aunt Margaret and several aunts hadn't even ward their seats in the scriptorium before encountering this sanity-shattering scene, collectively gasping.
Even Byron saw for the first ti the sight of such an angelic "Saint Descent".
Yet he found that the angels in the "Gospel of Heaven" bore no resemblance to the images promoted by the Church.
Rather than beautiful angels or humans depicted normally, this thing looked more like an indescribable being drowned in the Sea of Origin Matter!
"Strange, wasn't the Creator the ultimate victor in the war of the Pantheon? Why does the style established with the Silver Code not resemble this?
The forbidden knowledge revealed is remarkably similar to those Old Gods. Even if taboo knowledge corresponds to the mythical form of Beastliness, it's still overly abstract."
Byron was already quite knowledgeable about the various secrets of the Mythological Era.
Even the Kin say the Old Gods remain vehently opposed to the Shackled Creator, despite having died many years ago.
In vying for the sole chance of survival, they obliterated the entire Mythological Era; Byron felt the key lay in understanding what exactly they were fighting over.
Moreover, Byron had a strong premonition that the answer might lie within the "Gospel of Heaven," which contained countless "angels".
In a flash, the situation collapsed completely.
All the nuns near the scriptorium began fleeing in desperation.
"Help! Ah, ah, ah..."
So ran while screaming, seemingly driven to madness by the tragic state of one sister after another over these three days.
However, there were nuns with exceptionally steadfast faith, raising the Silver Cross Holy Emblem and chanting prayer:
"For the Creator is great and worthy of the highest praise! He is above all gods and should be revered!"
Silver Holy Light shone, instantly enveloping the Angel of Death, Azrael, and the young nun directly below him.
"Emily, don't be controlled by the 'angel,' focus and regain control of your body."
Unfortunately, the nun companion's last efforts were of little use.
Emily's body, just between breaths, sprouted countless eyes.
Suddenly opened, locking on to everyone around, leaving no blind spot.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!...
In the blink of an eye, blinding green flashes burst from the pupils.
Striking the desks and walls imdiately began to crumble, but when hitting living beings, most perished instantly.
The forbidden book "Gospel of Heaven" had significant side effects. For example, only those of the Order of Sanctity could study it, with praise for angels spilling instinctively, if insufficiently anchored gradually bringing "superstition," from the depths of their hearts converting to the angel, becoming a mindless zealot willing to sacrifice everything.
Yet, its power was truly formidable.
Just one core ability, Angel's Descent, almost equated to attaining the highly-ranked "Saint Descent" effect.
Allowing a powerful unknown spiritual body from Heaven to descend into one's body to fight on their behalf, enhancing all aspects comprehensively.
Similar to the realm of Divine Sight's "Celestial Descent."
Margaret and her group confronted such a scene upon first entering the library, their reaction speed visibly slower than other experienced nuns.
It's like so imdiately perform tactical maneuvers upon hearing gunshots, while others, mistaking it for fireworks, rush to join the excitent.
By the ti they reacted, it was too late to flee; they could only hide under the tables as a compromise.
Byron had prepared himself; should his aunt's safety be threatened, he would rush to resolve the issue even at the cost of exposing himself.
Sister Emily's inherent strength wasn't high, only recently reaching the Second Order Professional Level; even corrupted by the Angel of Death, her power only inflated tenfold, equivalent to barely entering Third Order.
Byron could fully utilize his power through Hugin's body, taking her down with a single move.
Using the Microwave Hand to scorch her, without anyone tracing back the source.
At this mont, Marina, the Third Order Sun Crown Priest who brought them here, has already taken action.
This library's uncontrolled incidents weren't unprecedented; monastery leadership foresaw the consequences and had long prepared contingency plans.
Even in a state of uncontrollability, those Fallen Ones would have no chance for a second strike.
Raising high the Mithril Cross Holy Emblem, initiating Holy Prayer:
"Praise the Creator, in the holy sanctuary; praise Him in the mighty heavens!"
