Chapter 90 "Tonight's Glory Belongs to You, Chenxing



...Are you also one of the Hounds of Pain?

As soon as An Su stepped outside, he saw a man's crotch gushing forth a flood.

The one named Rosen first stood there with trembling legs, then a moistness began to seep out from between his legs,

He stared at An Su as if seeing a ghost, instinctively backed away, then fell to the ground,

wriggling like a twisting earthworm as he kept scooting backward, shuffling through a patch of shadow before finally half-crawling, half-rolling out of the church.

After pushing the door open and leaving the church,

the journalists outside swarmed him like sharks smelling blood.

"Excuse me, are you from that Church?"

This was a journalist from the Religious Pioneer Newspaper; he made money by covering religious issues.

"Why did you pee yourself?"

This was a journalist from the Evening Entertainment Weekly; he earned his living by digging up entertaining news.

"Would you pay me to change your name to Kavensis Black in the article?"

This was a journalist from the Capital Morning News; he made money by accepting cash to change interviewees' names to Kavensis in his reports.

"The first step to sainthood, An Su's diapers! Would you be interested in purchasing Happy Baby Brand diapers?"

This was a diaper salesman, earning commissions provided by Lister.

After Rosen left, the entire First Celestial Church,

plunged into a long, lasting silence.

"...he's not one of ours from the Order Church."

Priest Paxi's face turned ashen as he watched his protege's abstract performance, slowly making the cut.

In the first two exams, the Radiant Holy See disassociated themselves from their Radiant Saints, the Alchemical Church from their alchemic examiners, and now, as fate would have it, it was the Order Church's turn to disown their rising star!

Priest Paxi's mouth twitched slightly, then he turned back, staring at An Su, who wore a brilliant smile, and at Lister and Arthur who followed behind him.

All the believers were wailing and beseeching heaven, except for these three, faces beaming.

He felt just like the Celestial Messenger, on the verge of a midlife crisis.

"What on earth happened inside?" Paxi asked slowly.

"No idea, I'm dead too," An Su cocked his head, "Memory wiped."

The first half was true, the second half false.

He was playing for an undeniable proof of death.

Priest Paxi reviewed An Su's results, and on the very first line saw the survival time: [762 hours], indeed dead. He looked at Lister and Arthur and found that they too were completely dead.

Annihilated.

Not a single saint with memories left.

Paxi felt he might as well retire.

The events that occurred in Seden Town were now known only to the gods and the Celestial Messenger.

The Celestial Messenger, being absolutely neutral,

would not disclose anything.

No evidence, no witnesses, no information whatsoever.

And almost all the saints scored in the single digits, the highest just over ten points.

...A complete and utter mystery.

Who exactly vanquished that Fourth Order legionnaire...?

Wait... An Su's survival time was 762 hours, the longest... Since he was the last to die, could it be?

Priest Paxi looked down at An Su's score, suddenly frozen, blinking his eyes as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Luojia, seeing Paxi's astonished expression, also stepped closer, standing on tiptoe to look—

She too was curious about An Su's score.

I wonder if that idiot made it...

"Huh?" Luojia's eyes slightly widened, her eternally cool expression revealing surprise, "Wow..."

[An Su Moningsta, survived 762 hours]

[Secured one A-grade achievement, three S-grade achievements, one SS-grade achievement]

[Kill score one hundred, weighted score one hundred, overall evaluation: SSS grade]

[Task One: Kill.... (Contribution 80%)]

[Task Two: Kill...(Contribution 90%)]

[Final Task: Assassinate the Legionnaire of the Painful Esoteric Sect (Contribution 100%)]

He looked again at Lister and Arthur's scores, one eighty-five, the other eighty-seven.

"You are the first strategist to achieve...? Double full scores?"

Priest Paxi's voice wasn't loud, but in the silent church, it was especially piercing and clear, "An Su Moningsta?"

All the saints, priests, and even the bishops' gazes converged, landing uniformly on the youth with the shy smile in their midst.

At the same time,

the scores of An Su Moningsta,

were displayed on the alchemical screen,

directly in the center of the Celestial Church.

That huge screen, made of alchemical materials, penetrated half the church, so that even the reporters on the corridor could see it clearly.

The kill score was perfect, and the weighted score was also perfect.

The priests all understood what this meant.

Nearly all of the cultists were killed by this young man in front of them!

Moreover, he had slain the nearly saint-tier leader of the Legion of Pain, which was the only way to achieve a full score in killing.

The very demon that brought a psychological shadow over all the saints, turning every saint's complexion pale with fear,

had been personally vanquished by this Radiant Saint right before them!

There was only this one possibility.

As for why An Su had died... many priests constructed a conjecture in their hearts, a fairly reasonable explanation, and they discussed it in low voices.

An Su, leading Lister and Arthur, three men from the frontier, fought bloodily in an isolated battlefield, assassinating one cultist after another.

In the end, only the leader of the Legion of Pain remained.

Lister and Arthur had already sacrificed themselves; only An Su was left!

But he did not choose to submit.

No one knew what kind of sacrifice An Su made, what kind of forbidden magic he employed,

but in any case,

this saint from the Radiant Holy See had perished together with the leader of the Legion of Pain in the end.

A hero at the end of his road.

If that was the case, then this youth from the frontier was the true rising star of the Church!

Priest Paxi's mouth twitched slightly; he always felt things weren't as simple as they seemed... but everyone had lost their memories, there was no way to investigate, so the facts had to stay as they were.

Moreover, the crowd was waiting outside...

The reporters were there; the Church had lost enough face for one day.

A story of a hero from somewhere unknown, the masses would like it.

And also, the night sky was growing ever brighter...

The blessing of the celestial body was also waiting outside.

Someone had to go out and present themselves.

Priest Paxi patted An Su's shoulder, "Go and accept the awards from the Holy Maiden and the deity, young man; this is the honor you deserve."

The awards from the Holy Maiden...?

An Su looked puzzled at Luojia beside him, who also tilted her head, her golden eyes focusing on An Su.

Speaking of which, after reuniting in the capital as fellow villagers, they hadn't exchanged a single word yet.

Luojia seemed to notice An Su's confusion—she quite liked seeing him baffled; with a playfully cheeky smile,

she then remembered she was now the Holy Maiden and had to maintain a dignified demeanor; thus, she gently lifted the hem of her gown and elegantly began to speak with her lips slightly parted:n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"An Su, please come with me, let's go out together."

The noise outside grew increasingly loud,

with the lights coming on, the cheers from the crowd sounded like waves, barely able to be contained.

Under the splendid night sky, the pure white hair intertwined with the light, as Luojia smiled and said:

"Tonight's glory belongs to you, Chenxing."
