She hesitated, with a hesitant look on her face, and hesitantly looked at Aunt Therma, the elder who had the most say in her mind, and said: "About this matter, Aunt. Actually, I have my own ideas..."

Before she finished speaking, Therma glanced at her majestically and forcefully, and the long-established intimidation came down, blocking the second half of Althea's unspoken words.

After a while, Selma sighed, and she looked at Althea with loving eyes, and said: "I know, dear, why don't I understand how cruel it is for a daughter to end her mother's life with her own hands?"

What's going on?

As long as there is a slight leeway, I will not agree to this matter.

Those stubborn family elders may be afraid of death and would rather hide behind a woman like me to survive. But in this matter, they are more courageous than you and more like members of the Iron Lion family.

The continuation of the family is not based on personal will. What we always emphasize is the glory of the family. For this reason, it is inevitable to sacrifice some personal emotions.

Every one of us, including me, your uncles, uncles, etc., have experienced this moment.

Before becoming a queen, I hope you will first grow up to match the mentality of a queen.

Please...think about it."

After saying that, Therma finally couldn't bear to force Orthea, her eyes darkened, and she was ready to remove the barrier between the two of them and suppress the topic for the time being.

At this moment, a tall figure tore apart her mental barrier without hesitation, and slowly stood behind Althea.

A warm and powerful arm gently placed on her shoulder, and a familiar voice came from Althea's eardrums: "Remember, follow your heart. You have this qualification, because, with me

.”

"Lynard?!"

Althea turned around in shock. She didn't know anything. When she sensed the familiar spiritual power of Aunt Therma, she knew what the other party was going to do.

It must be that everyone except the two of them is blocked, ensuring that only the two of them can hear the conversation.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Therma's temper has always been like this. She does whatever she wants and does whatever comes to her mind immediately.

If you encounter something confidential, you will block the perception of outsiders.

Therefore, Althea has long been used to it. What surprised her was why Linnard passed through her aunt's mental barrier like nothing happened. You know, Therma is an intermediate archbishop!

As far as she knew, only the red archbishop of the Shengtian Sect could hold down Aunt Therma, and even if there were equal beings across the entire continent, there could hardly be ten.

Linnard can easily ignore Therma's mental power barrier, which means that his mental power is far superior to that of his opponent.

In other words, he can easily tear apart Therma's spiritual shield.

If there is no spiritual shield defense during battle, it is almost equivalent to not wearing any defensive measures on the battlefield!

Could it be that Lynard's level is higher than Aunt Therma's mid-level archbishop?!

Therma's expression changed drastically. She had noticed the relevant situation as early as the first moment Linnard tried to move, and subconsciously launched a counterattack.

In her opinion, even if Linnard was an unparalleled genius, at most he would be on the threshold of being promoted from bishop to archbishop like Althea.

After all, this is almost the limit of mortals.

If Althea hadn't carried the bloodline of two extraordinary creatures, she would never have been promoted so quickly. You must know that the recovery of spiritual power has only just started five years ago.

Even if he has some blood connection with Eisenhower, it cannot go beyond common sense to the point of exaggeration.

This exaggeration refers to the fact that Lynard is unlikely to have archbishop-level strength. As long as he has not crossed the life threshold of archbishop, he is actually not much different from a mortal in front of Therma.

If we say that the vitality of a bishop is only ten.

Then there are at least a thousand archbishops. This is a qualitative leap. The two are hardly of the same category.

Because the archbishop level is not a level that can be broken through by stacking spiritual power and pollution. When you reach this level, you must start to come into contact with the concept of dimensions and seek breakthroughs in your own dimensions.

According to the dimensional strength classification method passed down by Therma Ancestor, her strength should belong to 1.4 dimensions, which is slightly lower than her 1.5 dimensional sister.

Don't underestimate this 0.1 gap. Due to the blessing of ancestral blood, her sister has initially been able to skillfully use some of the innate abilities of high-dimensional creatures.

This gave her great blessings and gave her the ability to compete head-on with the Temple God.

And the person who can break through the limitations of her mental barrier so easily has at least the same strength as her sister!

If Linnard's fifteenth level is simply converted, he does have 1.5-dimensional strength.

However, compared to traditional Awakened Ones, his comprehensive values ​​in all aspects are much higher.

Whether it is the overall attributes of energy or the storage and application of extraordinary knowledge, the irrigation from the source of immortality makes him far ahead of his peers.

It can be said that he is now very close to a real two-dimensional creature.

Because he doesn't know yet, the formula he naturally understood: Naiya, is the characteristic of high-dimensional creatures.

Linnard, who is in the state of Naiya's blessing, has the ability to resist two-dimensional creatures head-on!

Therma's pupils were dilated and she stared at her niece and Lynyrd with a look of disbelief on her face, not knowing what to say.

"Are you a senior archbishop?"

She asked softly with a bit of disbelief in her tone.

Linnard smiled and nodded, and said: "I have just been promoted not long ago, and I am still a little unskilled. Didn't it cause any mental harm to you?"

Therma took a deep look at this old friend's nephew and knew that he did it on purpose.

What are you still not proficient in? The knowledge imparted by the high-ranking archbishop can be used flexibly like instinct. Do you need to be proficient in it?

In the final analysis, it was because he wanted to use his mental power to coerce Althea, so he punished her a little.

What an annoying young man. Not only has he gained enviable strength at a young age, but he also doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young.

He actually attacked an old man like himself, wasting himself and his uncle... Well, I seemed to have seen this kid back then. He was probably still in middle school at that time, right?

Having grown so big in the blink of an eye, the next generation of the Alfred family has a brighter future than Iron Lion.

After sighing a few words, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes.

'However, looking at their relationship, the Iron Lion family is not bad at all.'

"Okay, I get it."

Therma put away her expression, looked at Orthea, and said: "Your will has been conveyed to you by someone. Then, it is up to you to make the final decision.

Whatever it is, I'll accept it.

This is respect for the strong, Your Excellency."

When she said the last sentence, she cast her eyes on Linnard and bowed slightly in return for his 'Your Excellency' greeting.

Althea's little mouth opened slightly and she looked at her aunt in surprise, then turned her head and stared at Lynard, who was standing beside her calmly.

'Aunt, do you call Lynyrd a strong person?' She felt a little dizzy. 'Aunt is at least an archbishop of intermediate rank or above. The person who can make her willing to bow her head is the legendary high-ranking archbishop of the same rank as the Pope.

!

Is that what ancient books say is a semi-extradimensional creature that breaks through the boundaries between life and death, gods and humans? A being like my mother?'

She took a deep breath and finally understood why Linnard's faint confidence that could always be seen after this reunion came from.

No matter who they are, they will feel extremely confident after achieving this achievement. This means that they almost have the ability to control their own destiny.

Except for real high-dimensional creatures that can destroy them, nothing in the world can harm them.

Even if the race is destroyed, it can still survive alone.

'With such strength as Lynard's backing, I don't know why, but I seem to have a lot of confidence!'

Althea felt a little relieved, but the news of the return of the Temple Lord still made her a little upset.

'If this is the case, if I agree to absorb my mother's spiritual power, maybe I can really gain the capital to have an equal dialogue with the Shengtian Sect.'

She thought, in fact, a large part of the reason why Althea was reluctant to agree to the family elders' plan was because even when her mother was not in a state of delirium and confinement, she was not an opponent of the Temple God.

If it weren't for the sake of their family's older, sealed original ancestors, I'm afraid the Temple Heavenly Lord would have slaughtered the Iron Lion family long ago.

Although the Queen used her own strength to make him worry, it was nothing more than causing him to suffer some harm.

It was not until the sudden rise of the Quanli Sect that Tianzun had to consider how to face the Lord of Truth if he was injured due to the elimination of the royal family. The three parties formed a situation of mutual restraint.

The royal family ceded jurisdiction and established a parliament and prime minister.

The Shengtian Sect gained divine power and vigorously promoted the concept of divine right of kings, gradually encroaching on the kingdom.

The Quanli Sect was openly suppressed by both sides, but secretly received support from the royal family and specialized in destroying the Shengtian Sect.

This mutual restriction still existed firmly until the queen fell out of control due to the endless pollution.

In order to better limit the ambitious expansion of the Shengtian Sect, the Quanli Sect officially came to the surface from the underground.

Unfortunately, due to its own 'cult' symbol in its early years, this originally traditional church really cultivated a group of lunatics, and even provoked Linnard, causing a series of incidents later.

Now that Althea has confirmed the upper limit of Linard's strength, she can't help but have the idea of ​​​​joining forces with the other party to completely suppress the Shengtian Sect.

'Forget it, think about it again.'

Despite this, she always sensed that something was not quite right, and there seemed to be a place hanging in the air in her heart that she could not put down.

"Yeah." She looked at Linnard seriously and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

This can be said to be the most relaxing moment for Althea after months of suffering day and night.

Although her worries have not lessened, this sudden feeling of having a way out has made the heavy burden on her shoulders lighten a lot!
