The St. Michael’s Cathedral at the center of McPherson Monastery, Olsylvia Academy, was a new building that was rebuilt after the Rose Society took over. It was a huge cathedral which was rebuilt on the foundation of the original monastery.

The St. Michael’s Cathedral was named by Bella. Apparently, the archangels of this Other World didn’t have the same name as Earth. Bella simply borrowed the name of the archangel Michael.

Since Bella had specially invited the Creator of Light Vianne to help her design this majestic St. Michael’s Cathedral, it could indeed be called a cathedral that symbolized light if you ignore the fact that Bella, the Vice Bishop of the cathedral, was a Demon King. After its completion, the St. Michael’s Cathedral had become the tallest building in Olsylvia City. Standing on the top of Sacred Tower, one could look over the panoramic outline of all three academies, the Olsylvia Academy, Antoinette Academy, and Alessandra Academy.

The large number of angel statues placed inside St. Michael’s Cathedral was personally sculpted by the Creator of Light, Vianne. These statues were the closest things to the Gods. As long as they were integrated with the godhead, they could turn into Gods at any time. But there was no need for the godheads as Bella herself was the Sacred Demon God. If she were to drench them with a drop of Sacred Demon God’s blood, they would turn into Fallen Gods at once.

The archbishop of St. Michael’s Cathedral was Bella’s acquaintance, Archbishop Stanley. Bishop Stanley had other churches to manage as well. As such, the actual control of the cathedral was in Deputy Bishop Bella’s hands.

As the academy was busy holding campus fests recently, only a handful of students came to St. Michael’s Cathedral to pray. St. Michael’s Cathedral was only open to girls. Male believers weren’t welcomed here. At the beginning of designing the cathedral, Bella had secretly put many evil designs to satisfy her various perversions. For instance, the floor of the prayer hall was paved with diamonds that were almost like mirrors. As long as the girls, who came to worship, wore skirts, they were basically naked to Bella, unknowingly.

Today, St. Michael’s Cathedral was destined to have an eventful day. Usually, one or two girls would come to pray, but today for some reason, no girl had visited the cathedral.

Bella was doing all kinds of bad things in St. Michael’s Cathedral. Now, Bella was busy bullying the just recovered Netherworld Holy Maiden of the Darkness Church, Livina. She had just pulled in some beautiful nuns and priestesses of the Darkness Church. Although she was the Vice Bishop of the cathedral, she didn’t care much about the management of the cathedral; she wasn’t interested in the proportion of worshipers.

Priest Isaman, who had lost her bet to Bella, was now serving as Bella’s maid. After she had handed the report about the cleaning of Ancient Saxton Battlefield to the Chief President of the Central Student Union Angelia on behalf of Bella, Angelia had immediately rushed to the St. Michael’s Cathedral. She didn’t have anything to do at the student union today. If she stayed there, Bella would come knocking at her door to do naughty things to her at any time. In that case, it was better to run here to stay safe. After all, President Isaman, Bella’s current maid, was one of her few best friends. She didn’t want the whole academy to know about it.

After changing into a black nun costume, Isaman was helping Bella clean the St. Michael’s Cathedral’s prayer hall. The remaining nuns were summoned by Bella to purify the beauties of the Darkness Church. Only Isaman was busy in the hall. Isaman wasn’t just clearing the room, but she was also responsible for the safety of St. Michael’s Cathedral.

Isaman looked towards the cathedral doors suspiciously. She had already noticed someone approaching; two high-level energy bodies, one behind the other. They didn’t seem to have any hostility. The energy around them seemed to belong to sacred and light attributes. As a Renegade, Isaman found the smell of God Race a bit disgusting.

In the hidden room of the second floor of St. Michael’s Cathedral, Bella was enjoying beautiful girls in her embrace. The Netherworld Holy Maiden Livina curled up in Bella’s embrace like a shy pet cat. Her snow-white body was wet everywhere as she had no idea whether it was sweat or something else entirely.

“Livina, I really couldn’t tell that you will be like this in bed...”

“Shut up, you... I have never seen a fallen paladin as bad as you... I... I want to go. Mhh, don’t... I surrender...”

“Livina, aren’t you planning on reporting me to the Radiant Church? Don’t even think about it. They are all my people, the same goes to you.”

Livina had nothing to say. She had resigned to her fate and no longer struggled. Bella pinched the sensitive point on her chest to prevent her from moving. Looking at Dark Holy Maiden Liz sleeping on the side, she felt that her eyes were playing tricks. As one of the three saints of the Darkness Church, Liz was the first to betray and hook up with the paladin.

Bella wasn’t in a hurry to explain to Livina that she intended to slowly purify these beauties of Darkness Church under house arrest. And then, put them back where they belonged after they had become her property. At that time, Bella would have control of two Holy Maidens of Darkness Church, which would further enhance her ability to penetrate the Darkness Church.

“Livina, you and your subordinates should rest here for a while. As for when I will let you go back, I’ll tell you when I think you have reached there!”

“I... I won’t give in. I...”

Bella gently pressed on the Holy Maiden Livina’s chest, hinting that she would get Livina’s heart. Although Bella didn’t show any Demon King ability, Living was still too afraid to probe her further. She vaguely felt that Bella’s identity was more than just a fallen paladin. Livina’s voice grew weaker and weaker as she kept talking to Bella. Obviously, she didn’t have much confidence that she would really stick to the end.

Bella pulled the loafing Liz into her arms, snuggling the two holy maidens of the Darkness Church in her arms simultaneously. Liz and Livina didn’t happen to have a good relationship before. But with Bella teasing them like this, they were forced to hold each other’s white and soft jiggling parts, which was unknowingly awakening a different side of them.

Bella wanted to take the opportunity to tease the other beauties of Darkness Church, but she was interrupted by a magic message that she had received from President Isaman. The message said that some guests might be here, and the Vice Bishop was needed to receive them.

Bella got up, changed back into the black nun outfit, put on a cross around her neck, and left. Before leaving, Bella pushed the two holy maidens of Darkness Church together, asking them to lie down holding each other so that she didn’t need to worry about Livina escaping. Livina and Liz, who had a strange side of them awakened, seemed to have glue on their hands; they were reluctant to push each other away. They kept hugging each other, feeling the softness and warmth of each other’s bodies as this strange feeling didn’t disgust them.

When Bella arrived at the prayer hall on the first floor of the cathedral, she noticed a vigilant look on President Isaman’s face. She seemed to be monitoring the movements outside the cathedral doors. Isaman finally heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed Bella’s arrival. She was now playing as Bella’s maid. She was just an ordinary nun at St. Michael’s Cathedral. There were some things she couldn’t do with her identity.

“What’s wrong, Isaman? Could it be that someone came to make ruckus here? Who is so arrogant to make ruckus at my cathedral?”

“That’s not the case! Bella, no one is coming here to make trouble for your church. However... forget it, you can go and take a look yourself. Someone is looking for you. I used the light energy barrier to stop her outside the door temporarily.”

At the entrance of St. Michael’s Cathedral, Bella finally caught sight of the said guest. It was a female beggar in tattered clothes. She was standing not far away from the entrance of the cathedral, trying to come in. However, the transparent barrier was preventing her from entering the periphery of the cathedral.

St. Michael’s Cathedral was just recently rebuilt. Bella hadn’t had the time to hire knights from the Radiant Church. If the cathedral had guards, wanderers would have long been driven away. The branches of Radiant Church in this world basically didn’t accept any wanderers. Bella looked at the female beggar. And just when she was about to contact the guards to send her away, the beggar seemed to have noticed Bella’s existence.

“Sister, it’s me... no, for the sake of Radiant God, please let me in!”

Bella halted her steps. She was quite puzzled. The beggar’s voice was quite melodious; it gave her a warm feeling. Her voice was quite gentle! Could she be the daughter of some fallen noble family? If so, then there could be some value in rescuing her.

Although the beggar’s face was covered in mud and her eyes were shut closely as if she couldn’t see the outside world, Bella, who had seen many women, could judge her by her outline. She vaguely found the beggar’s face a little familiar as if she had seen her somewhere.

“Uh... Miss... I’m sorry, this monastery is only for mortals. We don’t receive Gods.”

Bella looked at the statue of the Goddess of Light in the prayer hall of the cathedral and finally realized why she found the beggar’s face so familiar. The beggar’s face had the same outline as the statue of the Goddess of Light. She wasn’t really blind. Bella vaguely saw a few familiar marks of the Twelve Demon Kings on her face. Obviously, the Goddess of Light’s eyes were cursed by the Twelve Demon Kings, causing her to go blind.

“No, please believe me, I’m not a God. Please take me in, I can do anything.”

“I can’t do that. I won’t take you in unless you swear to the Goddess of Light that you aren’t lying.”

“This... can you change the goddess?”

Bella had met the Goddess of Light in the flesh. In the war ten thousand years ago, when the Twelve Demon Kings invaded the God Realm, the first to be attacked was the Goddess of Light because of her healing and auxiliary attributes. She was the first of Twelve Gods to fall. The Goddess of Light didn’t die completely. As her subordinates took advantage of the chaos to hide her corpse. Her comrade-in-arms, the Moon Goddess, paid a great price and saved the last breath of the Goddess of Light at the expense of her own body.

A first-level God under the Goddess of Light took her God tablet that was the symbol of the Goddess of Light and impersonated the Goddess of Light, thereby attracting the attention of the Demon Kings and sacrificing herself. After the war, the Goddess of Light hid among the humans. She often hid near the churches and monasteries of the Radiant Church to avoid being targeted by the slave traders, only so that she wouldn’t be disturbed by them.

The vicinity of the churches and monasteries of the Radiant Church were patrolled by knights. As long as the wanderers didn’t make trouble for the church, the knights responsible for maintaining the order didn’t disturb them. And as for the slave traders, they didn’t dare to go to the site of the Radiant Church to look for trouble.

The Goddess of Light discovered that the newly built St. Michael’s Cathedral was rich in the sacred power of light. So, she came here even at the risk of being discovered. If any of the Twelve Demon Kings, who had recovered, found out that she was still alive, that would be the end of the Goddess of Light. After losing the Goddess of Light tablet, her strength was reduced to a fifth-level God, the lowest level of God. The Twelve Demon Kings didn’t even need to act. Any of the somewhat stronger demon generals under them could kill her easily.

The God tablet was a certification that God King bestowed to various Gods. Only the God King could make it. And the previous generation of God King had already died in the battle. The current Quasi God King, the God Princess Suzia, still couldn’t protect herself and couldn’t make the God tablets. And without the God tablet, the Goddess of Light would not be able to return to her peak strength.

The Goddess of Light had never expected that Bella would trap her like this, asking her to swear to the Goddess of Light that she wasn’t a God. Was she deliberately embarrassing her? She was the Goddess of Light; she really couldn’t lie to herself. Therefore, she asked for another Goddess to swear.

“No can do, I only know one God, the Goddess of Light. I don’t know about other Gods. Furthermore, this is the cathedral of Radiant Church. It seems you don’t believe in the Goddess of Light. I don’t accept any non-believers.”

“Well... can you really not let me in?”

“Not unless you tell the truth. If you tell the truth, I can consider taking in a Goddess.”

Bella was completely justified. The Goddess of Light couldn’t come up with a good reason to convince Bella to let her in. The Goddess of Light finally admitted her identity as she noticed that Bella was about to leave. Although she had no idea about how Bella recognized her identity as Goddess of Light, Bella would not let her in if she didn’t admit it. Even in her heyday, she would not have been able to break the barrier set up by Renegade Isaman, let alone now when her strength was only equivalent to a fifth-level God.

The Goddess of Light had been wandering around the human continent for over ten millennia. She had been hiding in various churches and monasteries of the Radiant Church as a wanderer. Over this long period, it wasn’t that no one had found that she looked quite similar to the Goddess of Light. Many priests had also noticed this. However, none of the priests wanted to believe that their Goddess of Light, their almighty Goddess would be reduced to such dire straits that she would have to become a wanderer.

Therefore, the Goddess of Light had not been discovered until today. The other priests would rather believe that their Goddess of Light had fallen in the battle of gods and demons ten thousand years ago than a destitute beggar before them. In that case, it would be better for the Goddess of Light to be dead, in their opinion.

In Bella’s view, those priests were truly pedantic and desperate to save their faces. It was just a matter of taking the Goddess to a bath, but they were too reluctant to even waste a single drop of water. If a bath could be exchanged for a Goddess of Light, it was a very lucrative deal for sure.

“Well, Your Excellency Goddess of Light, as you know that the world isn’t far from peaceful. If you want to remain anonymous and be an ordinary nun in my St. Michael’s Cathedral, I can accept you. I will provide you all the basic necessities. And if there’s any danger, my comrades will help you out.”

“I... I agree, as long as you provide me with a place to stay.”

“Well, then, I... I’ll ask you to clean yourself up! I will see you later.”

Now, the Goddess of Light just wanted to have a place to settle down for now. After the ancient Twelve Demon Kings had recovered, some of the extreme demon kings had begun ordering their demon generals to search for the descendants of God Race. Her days of hiding here and there had become difficult. The normal churches and monasteries of Radiant Church had become very insecure. Only in this newly built St. Michael’s Cathedral could she feel the aura of miracles; only hiding here might be safer than the holy city where the headquarter of the Radiant Church was located.

As for Bella’s claim to provide her safety, the Goddess of Light regarded it as a joke. She didn’t think that Bella, the Vice Bishop of St. Michael’s Cathedral, could fight with the Twelve Demon Kings. It was only later that the Goddess of Light came to know that what Bella had said was true. She really had the strength to fight against the Twelve Demon Kings as several female Demon Kings were molested by her.

Bella ordered the Succubus Queen Aisha to take the Goddess of Light for a bath. The Succubus Queen was as strong as the Goddess of Light in her peak. If the Goddess of Light found something wrong and wanted to escape, Aisha would definitely subdue her at a moment’s notice. Now that she had entered Bella’s cathedral, she would use every means to get hold of her to know whether she was a God or not.

The Goddess of Light wasn’t the only one who came to visit Bella. As soon as the Goddess of Light left, God Princess Suzia came to the gates of St. Michael’s Cathedral. The dress she wore was the same dress she was wearing when Bella saw her in the Sky Jungle Veblen. The God Princess was also poor and had no extra clothes to wear.

After seeing Bella, Goddess Suzia was taken aback for a while before she regained her wits. She only knew that Bella was a Dragon Knight, but she hadn’t expected her to be the Vice Bishop of this majestic St. Michael’s Cathedral. Now, it would be much easier to ask for her help. After all, she was an acquaintance.

“Isn’t this Goddess Suzia? So what does my cathedral owe you the pleasure? If you want to talk with the Goddess of Light, please wait a moment.”

“Bella, well... I’m not here to see my subordinate but... but... you seem to be short of manpower here. I want to stay with you for a period of time. I will work to earn my keep.”

“Goddess Suzia, I have no shortage of goddesses here... Uh, don’t cry, how forgetful of me, I seem to be in shortage of people here.”
