This was good news since I knew how to call the Aurelian Empire. There are three ways one can do that, through the Guild's headquarters, through the Mayor's house and finally through the Church.

'Better believe that all three of the ways are compromised… then that leaves us with the worst method..' I sighed as I kept it as a last option for now. It wasn't exactly a method… but I hope that I don't need to use it.

"Since all the work is done. I should begin the chanting from now. No point in wasting the extra time we have got," spoke Ameliana as she began moving towards the church. Following behind her, I too moved one step at a time as we both entered the church.

The skeleton warriors, however, stood outside, not being able to enter the church.

"Do you see this, Adam? This is one of those traitor's abodes? See how much they have decorated it at the cost of their own brethren's life?" Ameliana began talking as she looked at the church. Her eyes were rather relaxed with me compared to when she was with the old lady.

It was rather creepy. But I didn't speak any words as I looked at Ameliana, explaining the war between the Fallen Gods and the True Gods. Truly, the war wasn't much different from Version 3.0 war events. Even the outcome was the same…

"You seem like you have something to say," Ameliana asked as she looked at me with a curious expression.

"Well… it's not my place to say this… but according to what you have told, both the True Gods and the Ancient Gods were at their best when they fought against each other. It was an unfair fight where Ancient Gods used everything they could but still lost.

So, I was wondering if we were going to summon a God. Won't the other Gods…" I turned silent as I looked at Amelia, looking at me with a silent expression.

"Adam. May I ask you a question?" Ameliana spoke after hearing my words.

I nodded as she continued,"Which God do you follow?"

I gulped a little, looking at her silent, expressionless face… before I answered,"Of course the Curse Goddess, Miraka."

She looked at me for a few seconds before a dozen red fireballs floated in the air as she added,"Answer honestly."

'Can she tell the truth from lies?!! No. Wait! She is just bluffing… or perhaps she could read expressions? But whatever it is, I cannot take Miraka's name again… which God should I choose? No… let's be honest here… I think that would work. Even if it doesn't, we can come back to it again,' my thought process rather fast as I answered,

"I… do not follow a God."

Her fireballs stopped floating as she looked at me with a certain look. Her eyes looked at me with a rather odd gaze before she spoke,"no wonder I didn't smell any scent from you. I almost thought you were the follower of a Neutral God or something, but to think you don't follow any… that's even more absurd."

She was kind of shocked by my response as she looked at me with pity,"I must applaud for your foolish bravery. To do something that goes against both the factions… is really something else."

"Am I going to die now?" I asked directly. There was no point in beating around the bush.

"Yes," she answered, and I sighed as I moved towards one of the chairs in the church. The red fire balls appeared in the air again but I couldn't care less about them.

Sitting on the chair, I waited for her to shoot the balls at me but…

"You really aren't running away?" she asked this question.

"Should I? Amir is going to kill me anyway if I do that," I lied again. But it was fun… I was getting into this acting for the time being. I wonder if I could get some information during my last moment in this run.

"To call my husband by name… looks like you truly gave up on your life. Hmmm… all right. Let's pretend that this conversation never happened," Ameliana spoke with a slight chuckle, looking at my dumbfounded look.

'Is there something wrong with her head? I mean, I shouldn't say this, but as a heretic, she would kill anything in her way or against her belief in the blink of an eye. But here she was… saving Mira… and letting me go despite knowing about me… Just what exactly is she?'

"..." I stood up as I looked at her in confusion. Even though I wanted to know the answers, I still don't know where to begin.

'Why are you not killing me? Hehe. Not really a good question to start with,' I sighed inside as I looked at Ameliana walking to the statue of the Goddess Arelia.

"When I was a young child, I used to follow the God of War, Rafe de Aleri. Life wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either. But that was until one day, the men from the capital came with a saint… declared that there is a heretic among us… and killed everyone in the village since they couldn't find one," she began telling her tale as she turned to face me.

"What was even more funny was that the saint was from a church of the God of War. Laughable, isn't it? I cried and cried helplessly as they burnt my parents in front of my eyes… and when I lost all faith in my God… I started screaming for help from anyone…

That I would give my life to anyone who will save me…

That I would serve anyone who will save me…

And the prayers were heard…

Not by a God.

But by my husband, Amir. He protected me."

Ameliana turned silent as she sighed before adding,"We aren't summoning the God to serve them… we are summoning her so that Amir can kill and absorb her. I am doing this for my husband, Adam."

"Holy Fuck!" was the only thing I could speak as I observed her.

Bitch was crazier than even I was.
