The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"I am the Bishop of Chaos."

An Su whispered in Tai Rui Milton's ear, not knowing who he was speaking to, "None of you are."

Tai Rui's cheeks, with hundreds of tiny eyes, tightened simultaneously. His reason had already completely evaporated and become utterly distorted; despite his eyes showing only madness, at that moment, they unnaturally revealed a frightened, shrinking demeanor.

"You...."

The hundreds of tiny eyes stared at An Su in panic, even showing a dawning realization. Its twisted, distorted body instinctively shrank back, but this sobriety lasted only a moment before it completely lost control. The corrupted blood of the golden kite boiled within, splitting its entire body into numerous, malformed limbs. Even more faces split from its cheeks as golden kite flowers blossomed from every inch of the prince's skin, every blood vessel, every internal organ.

Flower tendrils, stalks, and branches pierced through the mouth, nostrils, and eye sockets.

The seductive and grand floral fragrance rippled, hovering over the entire Ceremony Hall, the Imperial Capital, and all the citizens below. This invisible fragrance, though intangible, cast a massive shadow upon the land, enveloping all the people.

This form, a representation of a demigod's soul having fallen, varied depending on the demigod's traits.

— It was known as the "Curse Creature Form."

And Prince Tai Rui's Curse Creature Form was a wriggling flesh worm covered in golden kite flowers.

The creature named Tai Rui Milton screamed, aiming to drive all the roots of the golden kite into the young man before him—

But it could no longer achieve this.

The white Magic Eyes, mirror-like, reflected its eerie and terrifying face. All the Magic Circuits dissolved and twisted within these Magic Eyes as Holy Light coursed through its shell, severing countless limbs and stirring layers of bloody ripples.

Well timed indeed, the old man sprung into action.

An Su watched the curse before him, a calm smile playing on his lips. Facing the demigod so close before him, the youth's gaze did not waver a bit. His pale lips parted slightly, chanting the blessing ceremony of Radiance, as countless holy lights interwoven with his rising ash-white hair.

At this moment, he resembled every description of the "Saint Heir" or "Hero" from the legends, his navy-blue eyes firmly fixed on the golden kite horror, as an Azure Redemption Holy Blade emerged from the void, slicing directly across Tai Rui's eerie face, leaving a trail of azure blood.

Where the bloodline passed, exquisite golden kite flower petals also lifted in the white air, fluttering down like a small platinum snow.

The baptism ceremony continued—it was already reaching its ultimate climax!

"I am here, before the altar of Radiance, to sever the eyes of arrogance, to seek forgiveness for the indifference of all beings."

An Su joyfully recited the final prayer, the blood on the Azure Redemption Holy Blade slowly evaporating. An Su's Magic Rank was far below that of Prince Tai Rui—even though his flesh had plunged into madness, so the Redemption Holy Blade could not sacrifice him in a single stroke, it was an absolute impossibility.

Therefore,

only by lingering execution.

The eyes of Prince Tai Rui were cut out, emitting a painful howl as they fell to the ground. His massive body smashed numerous splendid marble columns, raising a huge wind pressure, shattering a row of decorative glass.

He had lost his reason and could not use any magic, but just the demigod's flesh was decisively beyond An Su's handling.

On the third floor of the Ceremony Hall, in the Radiant Cathedral's seating,

Merlin leaned back in his seat, one hand supporting his cheek, propping up his face, with the silvery-white Radiance still lingering in his pupils, not completely dissipated;

He watched the mutated Golden Kite demigod with interest, even began contemplating that he had new source material for future monster designs, squeezing the final value of use.

After a while, Merlin sighed helplessly, helplessly looking at An Su on the high platform, look at the good deed you have done!

Merlin knew An Su to be extreme, but he never imagined An Su would go to such lengths.

In Merlin's expectation, An Su would rely on the flames of Archduke Annand at most to repel or stalemate with Prince Tai Rui, successfully completing this grand blessing ceremony, and ultimately becoming the Saint Heir of Radiance, but even Merlin had not anticipated that the young man would directly call upon three Mother Goddesses in the spiritual world during the ceremony!

He had driven Prince Tai Rui mad!

An Su, merely a saint, calling upon three Evil Gods in his own spiritual world and staying sane himself—it was an absolute impossibility, so no one would suspect An Su, just thinking that Prince Tai Rui's tainted Spiritual Body couldn't withstand the grand ceremony of Radiance, leading to his own downfall.

But only Merlin knew, his eyes had already told him everything—An Su did indeed do it, and he succeeded at that.

Mad little guy.

If this matter came out, Merlin himself would have to bear responsibility too.

This reckless little boy did this on purpose, clearly wanting to drag him into it, to deal with the only evidence.

Here, under the crown of Radiance, to punish the cursed monster.

Just like they had done before.

Merlin's gaze scanned the rest of the nobility in the Ceremony Hall, all pale-faced. The tragedy on the second floor had severely shocked their nerves, the bloody and miserable state of the royal members vividly before their eyes, they couldn't even count how many lords had died tonight:

There was the Milton Royal Family's third prince and his family, three Marquises of the direct Milton lineage, four families from the Milton side branches... roughly calculating, nearly one-fifth of the major figures of the entire Milton Family had died in tonight's massacre!
