Wen Wen felt a moment of silly joy thinking of the Sacred Sword Angel.
How could he not be pleased to have acquired such a valuable collectible?
Although the Sacred Sword Angel possessed holy light, her physique was truly exceptional, especially her long legs, which were almost the same height as Wen Wen's.
Moreover, when Wen Wen observed her closely that day, he noticed that angels had no pores!
It was a shame she was too tall to be carried in a sedan chair with the other female monsters.
Furthermore, the Windsor duo held a lower status in Wen Wen's eyes compared to other containment specialists.
No matter how open-minded Wen Wen was, he couldn't fully trust a woman he had only interrogated once. This woman had also been ruthless before, and without his intervention, many innocent people would have perished at her hands.
For now, she only held the status of a containment specialist, bound to obey their regulations, but without the qualifications to enjoy the benefits of the containment facility.
Wen Wen needed to subject her to a series of assessments before he could determine whether to officially employ her at the containment facility.
The assessment process did not require Wen Wen to exert himself; the Mirror Maze's functions were now quite advanced and could complete tests on Windsor without his direct involvement.
Additionally, after becoming a containment specialist, Wen Wen had no reason to withhold information, so he revealed everything he knew to Wen Xia.
Firstly, regarding the Cup of Divine Blood itself, it was a holy relic forged from the power of the Son of God after his death.
The power contained within, while not comparable to a Cataclysm, was still beyond that of a True Sequence. Some of its powers even surpassed the domains attainable by an ordinary Cataclysm.
The Hunter Association's containment methods for the Cup of Divine Blood were sound, and their deductions about its abilities were also accurate.
However, there was a crucial piece of information that the Hunter Association was unaware of.
Every sixty years, the Cup of Divine Blood would be filled, triggering the Cup of Divine Blood Contest.
Due to the Hunter Association's containment, the Cup of Divine Blood Contest could not be initiated, causing this power to be stored within the Cup of Divine Blood.
This, in turn, caused the Cup of Divine Blood to grow stronger under containment and exhibit unprecedented divine anomalies.
Even if it hadn't malfunctioned due to an accident this time, it would eventually become uncontainable in the future.
Furthermore, concerning this Cup of Divine Blood Contest, the Radiant Church was internally divided, with disagreements on whether to get involved.
Therefore, within the Radiant Church, only the five priests present here and the angels accompanying them could participate in the Cup of Divine Blood Contest.
This meant Wen Wen did not have to worry about a Cataclysm-level Pope suddenly appearing and striking him dead.
Behind Windsor and the other two angels were angels of the Upper Sequence.
The two white-robed priests were considered useless by Windsor herself, so they posed no threat to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen's attention was drawn to the other two white-robed priests, one named Hosta and the other Byle.
Hosta was the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Radiant Church, possessing strength as both a holy knight and a divine practitioner, with his own Upper Sequence-level capabilities.
If not for Hosta's volatile personality and penchant for bloodshed, he would have been groomed as a successor to the Pope.
Accompanying him were not Upper Sequence angels like the Sacred Sword Angel, but sacred beasts of the Radiant Church, whose power was unfathomable!
The other, Byle, had a much gentler personality. While his strength was not as great as Hosta's, it was not far off. The angels protecting him were the recently active Sin-Cleansing Angels.
With two True Sequences participating in the Cup of Divine Blood Contest, the Radiant Church had already made a significant investment.
Thus, according to their plan, there should have been no possibility of failure.
The Emblem Bearer of the Hunter Association would be quickly defeated by the young priests, leading to a competition among the five distinguished priests.
Even failure would only result in a severed hand, which, with the Radiant Church's capabilities, could be easily restored.
However, they hadn't anticipated that the Hunter Association's team would include an anomaly like Wen Wen, causing events to gradually spiral out of their control.
Additionally, Windsor informed Wen Wen of another rather important piece of information.
That was the so-called 'Sole Correct Wish'!
Only by making this one wish would the Cup of Divine Blood fulfill desires without negative repercussions.
And this wish was something ordinary wishers, even racking their brains, would never conceive of.
This wish was to gather all the holy relics such as the 'Sacred Body,' 'Sacred Spear,' 'Crown of Thorns,' 'Crucifix,' 'Sacred Nails,' and so on.
Once the wish was made, regardless of their location, these items would be summoned near the Cup of Divine Blood.
And when these items were gathered together…
The Son of God would be resurrected!
Beyond this, making any other wish would invite one's own destruction.
The Cup of Divine Blood's wish-granting ability was completely unreasonable; even a True Sequence expert who made a wish might not survive.
This was also the reason for the division within the Radiant Church.
The Divine Descent faction wished for the Son of God to descend once more, leading the Radiant Church to spread the divine glory throughout the world and restore the glory of the Creation Church.
However, the Divine Grace faction believed that this world did not need the Son of God, and that the Son of God might bring not glory, but disaster to the Radiant Church.
Furthermore, the so-called 'Sole Correct Wish' was merely an ancient legend passed down within the Radiant Church; its truth was still unknown. This wish might very well bring disaster.
The two factions argued endlessly, which was why the Radiant Church had not focused all its efforts on the Cup of Divine Blood Contest.
"Sin-Cleansing Angels, Sacred Beasts... these are the opponents I will face. If I can capture them, I can absorb all the fragments of the Cup of Divine Blood."
"Speaking of which, the Sin-Cleansing Angels are truly old rivals. What are these Sacred Beasts, though? Super Unicorns?"
...
When Ye Wen found the ruins, she saw Wen Wen lying in a rocking chair, holding a severed hand, idly playing with it, a strange smile on his face.
The eerie atmosphere sent a shiver down Ye Wen's spine, but with Crosel still following behind her, she could only steel herself and walk up to Wen Wen.
Upon seeing Ye Wen, Wen Wen's eyes lit up. Ye Wen not only carried her own mark but also the marks of Li Na's and that white-robed priest, which was practically triple the joy.
The white-robed priest, trapped in ice, looked at Wen Wen pitifully, knowing that Wen Wen was the one who could decide his fate.
Wen Wen tapped his chin, pondered for two seconds, then drew the Blade of Corruption and slashed fiercely at the ice, directly severing the hand of the white-robed priest that bore the runic mark.
The mark on the white-robed priest's hand slowly transferred to the back of Wen Wen's hand. Now, his rune coverage was equivalent to three times the normal size.
