Hearing Scarlett's words, Olivia couldn't help but find it slightly amusing. Why was this person selling herself short like that?
“You say the Remnant Branch of the Divine Tree reaching my hands is its best possible home? Do you really think so?
“This treasure is most compatible with your Nature Sect, especially with you Verdant Wardens. Are you really not bothered that I took it?”
Scarlett's smile became a bit strained. Of course, she knew how useful the Remnant Branch of the Divine Tree was and how well it suited her, but it wasn't like she had any way to get it into her hands.
Elias had just died right before her eyes, and she had no desire to follow in his footsteps so soon.
Although the relationship between the Nature Sect and the Radiant Light Church was quite good, she couldn't guarantee that Olivia wouldn't be moved to kill her when faced with a treasure like the Remnant Branch of the Divine Tree.
“For a treasure like this, it naturally goes to the one with the ability to take it. Whether it's compatible or not isn't important.
“Sister Olivia, since you have the ability to obtain this treasure, then it should rightfully be yours.”
Scarlett's attitude was exceptionally friendly, keeping herself in a very humble position. For someone who was an Evolver, this was a very rare occurrence.
Since becoming an Evolver, she had been high and mighty wherever she went. It was always others bowing their heads to her, never the other way around.
But now, facing Olivia, she had no choice but to bow.
Both were Evolvers, yet facing Olivia felt more terrifying to her than facing those Destroyers. She constantly felt that the person before her was incredibly formidable.
Olivia said with a smile, “I’ve found that I quite like people from the Nature Sect. You all always say such pleasant things.
“Thank you for the praise. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit the Nature Sect as a guest and have a good chat with you.
“However, I still have things to do, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Olivia had no intention of attacking Scarlett. After all, the relationship between the Radiant Light Church and the Nature Sect was indeed friendly. Moreover, since Scarlett hadn't made a move against her, she naturally had no reason to strike.
Thus, Olivia took Rose and left Scarlett's side, walking away at an unhurried pace.
It wasn't until Olivia had been gone for quite a while that Scarlett finally let out a long sigh of relief.
It was at this moment that the numerous members of the Nature Sect finally arrived at Scarlett's location.
When they arrived, they saw only Scarlett standing there. Not far away, Elias lay on the ground, his body a bloody mess, thoroughly dead.
The other vampires who had followed Elias had previously been pulled into a black dome by his own power.
With Elias's death, that black dome had also shattered. Those vampires were likewise scattered across the ground, not a single one left alive.
The scene made it look as though Scarlett had single-handedly dealt with all the vampires of the Bloody Sickle right then and there.
“Lord Scarlett is too amazing! All hail Lord Scarlett!”
“A puny organization like the Bloody Sickle actually thought they could challenge our Nature Sect. How utterly overconfident.”
“I assume the Remnant Branch of the Divine Tree is already in Lord Scarlett's hands. Our Nature Sect is likely about to see the rise of another Protagonist of the Era.”
Hearing the numerous compliments from those around her, Scarlett's lip couldn't help but twitch.
“Stop all the shouting. I wasn't the one who dealt with these vampires, and the Remnant Branch of the Divine Tree isn't in my hands. I gained nothing.”
Hearing Scarlett say this, the crowd immediately fell silent, looking at her in confusion.
If Scarlett hadn't been the one to resolve everything, then who was it? There had only been Scarlett here.
Scarlett naturally sensed everyone's confusion. She couldn't help but sigh and said to them, “Just now, Olivia from the Radiant Light Church was also here.”
Scarlett didn't need to say much more; that single sentence was enough for everyone to understand what had happened.
If Olivia from the Radiant Light Church had been here, then everything before them was naturally her doing, and the Remnant Branch of the Divine Tree had naturally been taken by her as well.
At this thought, everyone looked at each other, speechless.
...
At this time, Olivia was heading out of the Whispering Forest while simultaneously deciding on her next goal.
She consulted the magic mirror, wanting to know the best course of action.
The answer given by the magic mirror was quite unexpected.
【Based on analysis, simply spreading the news of Elias's death will be enough to incite the fury of the Bloody Sickle.】
【The death of an Evolver is different from the death of other vampires; it will cause the Bloody Sickle to take notice.】
【There is a very high probability that Felicity Burns, the leader of the Bloody Sickle, will leave their alternate space to seek revenge.】
【Of course, she will not actively seek out you, Master, for revenge. Instead, she will target the cathedrals of the Radiant Light Church, which will likely result in many casualties. There are precedents for this in the past.】
【We can take this opportunity to lock onto Felicity's location and eliminate the leader of the Bloody Sickle. She possesses a treasure of incredible value.】
【That treasure is called a Star Bead, condensed from the power of the stars. It is a treasure that should not have appeared in the main world; it belongs in the Divine Realm.】
【Once fused with one's body, this Star Bead can grant one immense strength, allowing even a slight movement to possess earth-shattering power.】
【Felicity does not understand the function of the Star Bead and has failed to fuse with it, treating it merely as a decoration.】
As the magic mirror spoke, Olivia frowned slightly.
All of this was a prediction based on the magic mirror's analysis, but the magic mirror's judgment was rarely wrong.
Felicity Burns, the leader of the Bloody Sickle, would likely indeed appear and retaliate against the cathedrals.
This person's class rank was no secret; she was a Destroyer.
Yet, as a Destroyer, Felicity rarely engaged in combat with those of the same rank. She rarely even targeted high-level class rank transcendents, preferring instead to bully the weak.
For example, if she suffered a loss at the hands of the church, she would secretly go to small towns and wipe out the church's cathedrals. Her record was stained with crimes, and she held a very high position on the church's wanted list.
And now, an opportunity to deal with Felicity seemed to have appeared.
“A Destroyer? That’s not impossible to deal with.”
Olivia's eyes flickered slightly as she decided on her next move.
Although she was still only an Evolver, she truly didn't mind having a fierce collision with a Destroyer.
