Olivia, Destroyer

Time flowed by day after day.

In the blink of an eye, seven more days had passed.

During this time, Olivia remained immersed in the massive bathtub every day, feeling the changes occurring within her body.

The advancement process could be described as incredibly smooth—so smooth that she nearly fell asleep while lying in the tub.

By the time she let out a hazy yawn and propped herself up, she discovered that not a single drop of liquid remained in the enormous bathtub.

She had absorbed the essence of all the medicinal liquid, causing it to dry up completely.

Under the influence of these changes, her body had become significantly more powerful.

Olivia slowly stood up and put on her nun habit while sensing the internal shifts within her body.

She felt a mysterious space appear at the location of her heart. Within that space, her magic power was continuously flowing in and gathering.

At the same time, a vast amount of magic particles from all directions were being naturally absorbed by her body, merging into her and transforming into magic power.

The abundant magic power first replenished the space at her heart, forming a magic pool inside.

Every Destroyer has a magic pool that stores a vast amount of magic power, which is the fundamental reason why Destroyers possess such formidable combat strength.

And now, Olivia had finally generated her own magic pool.

She took a deep breath, sat down, and performed her meditation method, absorbing magic particles at an even faster rate.

Between heaven and earth, the previously invisible magic particles began to become tangible.

Even without entering a meditative state, the magic particles had taken on a tangible form, allowing those outside the meditation room to see the massive gathering of particles.

“It seems she has successfully advanced.”

Countless magic particles, like golden light points, gathered continuously, appearing like a tornado above the meditation room.

One by one, Olivia's acquaintances stood outside the meditation room, watching the scene with complex gazes.

They all knew very well what this sight meant.

Without them even realizing it, Olivia had already reached a level where she could surpass them.

This speed of advancement was enough to make everyone look up in awe.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed high in the sky, and a figure descended from the air.

An old man appeared on the spot, and his arrival caused the expression of one person near the meditation room to change instantly as they hurried forward to greet him.

“Pope.”

The newcomer was none other than Pope Adam.

Adam looked toward the meditation room, a gratified expression appearing on his face.

“What an incredible junior.”

With a smile, he stood there and waited for Olivia to emerge.

This scene surprised the others; they hadn't expected the esteemed Pope to personally arrive just because of Olivia's advancement.

The phenomenon of gathering magic particles did not last for long.

Before long, the golden light points vanished, signifying that Olivia's absorption of magic particles had concluded.

The door ahead then swung open, and Olivia stepped out.

When she saw a large group of people waiting for her, and even Pope Adam among them, Olivia couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

“Congratulations, Olivia.”

One by one, people began to speak, though no one stepped forward.

After all, the Pope was present, and they could not overstep him.

Adam smiled and said to Olivia, “Olivia, your timing for this advancement is excellent.”

“Excellent timing? What do you mean by that?” Olivia asked, puzzled.

She even asked the magic mirror in her heart, but the magic mirror didn't know why either.

Adam said with a smile, “Charles should have mentioned it to you before. The Goddess needs to summon you, so your timing is perfect; the Goddess won't have to wait for you.”

A summons from the Goddess?

Upon hearing this, Olivia felt a sense of solemnity in her heart.

Charles had indeed mentioned this to her before, but she hadn't expected the summons to come so quickly. She had only just become a Destroyer, and the Goddess already wanted to see her.

Hearing Adam's words, the others also showed expressions of surprise, and alongside that surprise was a touch of envy.

To be summoned by the Goddess was a massive honor for anyone in the Radiant Light Church.

After all, that was the Goddess herself.

The entire Radiant Light Church was built upon the existence of the Goddess; how could anyone not care?

Adam continued, “This time, the Goddess has only summoned four people: myself, you, Guinevere, and Rose.”

“So, Olivia, go and bring Rose here first. She is now permitted to enter the church headquarters freely; this is a privilege granted by the Goddess.”

Adam's words surprised Olivia once again.

She could understand the Goddess summoning her and Guinevere, as both were the church's Protagonists of the Era.

The Pope went without saying.

But why was Rose also summoned? Rose wasn't even a member of the church.

However, since this was a summons from the Radiant Goddess, who would dare to ignore it? Not even Olivia dared to do so.

“I understand. I'll go and call Rose in right away,” Olivia replied.

She immediately left the church headquarters and returned to the nearby city.

Inside a room in one of the city's inns, Olivia returned to find Rose sitting by the window.

“Sister Olivia, you're back.”

Rose was very happy to see Olivia and immediately raised her hand to wave.

She sat by the window, her long ash-gray hair fluttering in the wind, and her ruby-like eyes shining bright.

“I'm back,” Olivia smiled, then said, “Rose, the Radiant Goddess of our church wants to summon you. Are you willing to go?”

“The Radiant Goddess?”

Rose was surprised to hear this. Even she knew what kind of existence the Radiant Goddess was, and she never expected such a being would want to see her.

This made her hesitate for a moment, but she eventually nodded. “Since this Goddess wants to summon me, then I shall go and see.”

She also understood that it was essentially impossible to refuse such a thing. Who could refuse a summons from a god?

“What should I do next?”

“You just need to enter the church headquarters with me.”

Olivia then explained the method for entering the church headquarters to Rose.

Normally, only church personnel could enter using this method.

But as Adam had just stated, Rose had been granted a privilege and could now do the same.

Following Olivia's instructions, Rose entered the church headquarters right behind her.
