CHAPTER 888: CHAPTER 478 MAIN STAR PRIEST

Luo Weiya’s figure flashed, instantly arriving beside Mephit. The flame in her right hand surged, and rotating fire gathered in her palm.

"What’s happening? Are you really a doomsday believer?"

Rod shouted anxiously: "No, it’s not her!"

Luo Weiya stood motionless, her eyes fixed on Mephit. As long as she made the slightest move, Luo Weiya’s right hand would strike down.

But the next moment, Jelaba spoke.

"It’s not her."

The flame in Luo Weiya’s palm immediately extinguished, and her figure flashed back to Jelaba’s side.

"What’s going on?"

Jelaba said in a deep voice: "The Archbishop’s soul shows strong signs of distortion, something forcefully interfered with his will, but strangely, when I investigated the source, I found the interference stemmed from his own soul."

"He seems to have experienced some strange mental split, the strong distortion marks are the result of his own consciousness fighting against itself. This conflict was so intense that it even left burning marks on his soul."

Olivia used moonlight to wrap Horus, carefully pouring a few glowing purple recovery potions into his mouth.

Accompanied by intense spiritual light, Horus’s complexion looked much better, and his turbulent soul stabilized.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Archbishop Horus was the key figure in the team; he was responsible not only for shielding disturbances but also for healing and purifying the injured warriors.

His presence was the support for everyone.

No one believed the Archbishop would rebel; it was impossible.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Jelaba, listening as he continued.

"After further examination, I found many such interferences, although the traces left were quite small."

"Thus, it can be inferred that this kind of thing didn’t happen just once."

Lowell’s heart stirred, and in an instant, he connected all the dots.

It turned out that the one affecting the battlefield outside Starry Sky City, attracting the Sith Giant Brain, and interfering with the Main Brain was the Archbishop.

The one who invoked Black Water, disturbed monsters, and caused disasters was also the Archbishop.

The doomsday believer they had been searching for was actually Horus.

This was actually something easy to think of.

There were very few who could achieve this level of silence and stealth.

Horus, who held the Silence Stone, was the almost sole candidate.

But this inference was so unbelievable that everyone instinctively avoided this option.

This led to the absurd inference that a doomsday believer was remotely controlling matters, penetrating Starry Sky City’s barrier. How could a doomsday believer possibly obtain another demi divine artifact of the same rank as the "Book of Destiny" under the strict guarding of the Royal City?

However, Horus wasn’t truly a traitor. The Evil Soul in the Soul Holy Grail outright told him there was no doomsday believer here.

Luo Weiya thought of its eerie laughter and was vexed with annoyance.

The Evil Soul definitely knew something, that’s why it laughed like that.

It was just that her question was asked incorrectly, giving it a loophole to exploit.

"I must completely melt it!" Luo Weiya thought fiercely, even producing sparks from her fingertips.

"But..." Olivia pondered for a moment and then softly asked: "Why has this situation arisen? Has the Archbishop been cursed?"

Jelaba shook his head slightly: "I don’t know. Perhaps, we should ask someone else."

Olivia waved her hand, and a moonlight beam tore through the air, bringing Mephit over.

"Greetings, Ominous Mephit."

Jelaba calmly said.

"I regret having to use this title for you again, but this is a requirement of the Silver Oath. They say the restraint of your curse has failed, and the sealing is essentially undone. If not for the demands of the King and Horus, Alan’s significant suggestion, and Rod’s strong request, they wouldn’t have let you off."

"But they also demand that the name ’Ominous’ must be branded on your soul to remind everyone of what you essentially are."

Mephit’s gaze was as cold as ice, she spoke indifferently: "I understand, they can’t tolerate my escape from control, and the de facto breaking of the sealing. They wish to use an ancient method to pin down my soul once again. When countless consciousnesses believe you are something, your existence changes accordingly."

Jelaba nodded: "There’s nothing that can be done. You are too special. Until the investigation is completely over, your treatment as a taboo character won’t change. However, I still acknowledge you as one of us and thank you for what you’ve done today."

Mephit remained indifferent and did not respond.

Luo Weiya said impatiently: "Cut the nonsense, Jelaba. We don’t have much time."

Jelaba fixed his gaze on Mephit.

"Then please explain the course of events in detail, don’t leave out any details, as this concerns the Archbishop, and all of Trolian. I hope you understand."

Mephit’s expression didn’t change at all, remaining cold and calm.

"The soul of Archbishop Horus has undergone a strange alteration; some existence has substituted part of his soul. The essence of the soul hasn’t changed, but the spirit’s will was tampered with, it’s assimilating Horus. This alteration is subtle and imperceptible. If it hadn’t suddenly erupted now, Horus would have completely changed in a period of time, becoming a different personality. Even if he possesses Horus’s soul, memory, and will, he would no longer be Horus."
