171: The Tracks of [Fate]
"Wait!? Little Luo Xin, what did you say!? An An is missing?"
Evelia's heart instantly lurched into her throat. She knew very well that as the "witness" who had directly stepped forward to identify Victor, An An was already very likely to be targeted by those hiding behind the scenes. That was why, when leaving yesterday, she had even specially asked the practitioners stationed at the orphanage to keep an extra eye on An An.
But how long had she been gone? Not even a day, right? And An An had already gone missing?
What the hell, were those Church people just eating plain rice!?
"Little Luo Xin, don't panic. When did An An go missing? Were there any signs before she disappeared? Please tell us everything carefully!"
At such a critical moment, Jasmine, as the Church's Saint, was clearly much calmer. Her expression was grave, but her logical thinking remained composed. She immediately began asking Luo Xin for details about the incident.
"I... I don't know... An An has a habit of sneaking out at night to look at the moon... Before, she even took me out twice... But last night, after she went out, she never came back!"
"Last night? Tsk... this is troublesome..."
Evelia bit her fingernail, muttering to herself with a headache.
After all, last night, due to the super-tier magic clash between Noren and that cloaked figure, nearly all the Watchers and Church members in the city had been drawn away. If those hiding behind the scenes had made their move on An An while she was alone then, the Church people really wouldn't have noticed.
"Little Luo Xin, are you at the orphanage right now?"
"Mm... I told the teachers about it. Now all the adults at the orphanage have gone out to look, but they still haven't found An An..."
Luo Xin's voice, which had barely calmed down, now carried a sobbing tone again.
"What should we do, Evelia? An An gave me your number. She said if anything happened, I could call you..."
"Good girl~ Little Luo Xin, just stay with everyone and don't go anywhere alone. We're coming right now!"
"Okay, Luo Xin understands..."
"Beep beep..."
After hanging up on Luo Xin, Evelia's expression now rarely showed urgency. An An was just a child, and the people hiding behind the scenes had most likely captured her for revenge. Therefore, every moment she delayed, An An could be in greater danger.
She had to return to the Christian Orphanage immediately!
"Wait! Miss Evelia!"
Just then, Jasmine grabbed Evelia, who was about to rush out the door.
"Whether running or taking a car, it's all too slow. I'll take you there!"
"?"
Facing Evelia and Amya's confused gazes, Jasmine didn't offer much explanation. She knelt on one knee, palm flat against the ground, and a massive rose-gold magic circle immediately unfurled.
Countless golden threads symbolizing God-given Magic emerged from Jasmine's palm and gradually spread outward, finally weaving into a golden ring large enough to encompass everyone present.
As the golden threads continued to spread, more and more golden rings took shape. These rings nested within each other, combining into a semicircular golden dome.
Then, countless silver particles were channeled into this golden barrier, and the space before everyone's eyes began to distort.
"Whoosh!"
In the next instant, the scene before them changed! When they regained their senses, they were instantly surprised to discover that their current location was right outside the main gate of the Christian Orphanage.
"Mass spatial teleportation!?"
Amya blurted out instantly.
"..."
Evelia also looked at Jasmine with great shock at this moment, only to find that she wasn't panting at all as Evelia had imagined. Instead, she hadn't even taken a deep breath, as if the massive teleportation magic just now was nothing more than a little trick she had cast casually.
The underlying principle of summoning magic was also spatial magic, so Evelia could be considered half an expert in this area. She knew very well how much magic power such a long-distance large-scale teleportation array crossing over half the city consumed! Moreover, the essence of teleportation magic was opening spatial channels, which carried the risk of being torn apart by space! Therefore, teleporting others was extremely risky. Aside from those grand mages who specialized in spatial magic, practically no one dared to attempt it easily!
Most importantly, if she remembered correctly, there was no spatial magic branch in the God-given Magic system!
What did this mean? It meant Jasmine's mastery of space had reached an incredibly exaggerated level! So exaggerated that she could forcibly weave spatial channels using other types of magic systems!
Should it be said she deserved to be the youngest Saint in the Holy Church's history? As a human, this was truly terrifying magical talent...
Evelia swallowed hard. Jasmine had just claimed she was "weak," but look at her now! She had cast a massive teleportation array to transport people without even taking a breath. That wasn't just being modest, that was ridiculous!
She even felt a twinge of inferiority. Why was she, the daughter of Satan herself, so physically weak...
"Let's go, you two. There's no time to lose! If I remember correctly, Sauron should be here today. I'll go find him to understand the situation first. You two go find little Luo Xin directly!"
With that, Jasmine turned around. A golden flash streaked past, and her figure instantly vanished.
"..."
She teleported away again...
Honestly, Evelia was suddenly curious. If last night, instead of Lina fighting that cloaked figure, it had been Jasmine, what would the outcome have been?
After all, that cloaked figure's ability to summon phantoms clearly involved spatial magic, and Jasmine just happened to be extremely proficient in spatial magic...
"Let's go, Eve-Eve. Let's find that child named Luo Xin first."
Just then, Amya nudged Evelia, who had clearly fallen into a daze, and pulled her as she ran quickly into the orphanage.
"Hey! Wait! Don't run so fast! I can't keep up!"
……
Meanwhile, atop the clock tower at the northeast corner of the Christian Orphanage, the Descent Faction's cult leader was leaning against the railing of the tower's upper level, watching the figures of Evelia and the others not far away with a smile on his face.
"Cult Leader, that girl's life force has been nearly extracted, but... there is still a small distance before the [Divine Canon] is complete..."
A mysterious figure wearing black robes suddenly appeared behind the cult leader, speaking to him with some trepidation.
"It's fine. How is that little one? Not dead yet, right?"
"Not dead, no..."
"That's enough then. You don't need to worry about the rest. Go back down and keep watch. Attack immediately if anyone intrudes."
"...Cult Leader, forgive me for not quite understanding. Our base has remained safe and undiscovered for so many years. Why today did it suddenly..."
"Oh, stop worrying so much about everything. It's all [Fate]'s choice!"
As he spoke, a crimson light flashed through the cult leader's originally pitch-black eyes. He turned around, smiling as he gazed at his subordinate.
That look was as if he were watching a lifeless chess piece.
"Follow the tracks of [Fate]! No matter how hard that Hell Princess tries, she still cannot escape the predetermined [Fate]!"
"For [Fate] has long decreed... that they shall usher in the birth of the [Divine Canon of Grace]!"
