Perfikot is not clear about what those heretical sects are up to.

Although the Brotherhood's investigation pointed to the Death Sect, Perfikot felt that this Death Sect was more like a bait thrown out.

Especially when the other party forged relevant evidence with a completely undisguised attitude, Perfikot felt there must be a hidden hand behind the scenes, and its attitude was arrogant, seemingly confident in itself.

Perfikot didn't know what the other party relied on, but she didn't believe everything would necessarily develop as manipulated by them.

Does the other party think she'll be distracted by the Death Sect? Indeed, a heretical sect akin to a time bomb certainly keeps Perfikot highly vigilant towards the Death Sect and the entire external district.

Three Flying Airships have been deployed in the lower district, with each carrying at least a flag team of Steam Knights.

A complete Steam Knight Order has stationed in the lower district, supported by a reinforced Guard Army heavy infantry division, equipped with an artillery group enhanced with 24 twelve-pound field infantry cannons and 6 howitzers.

With this force, Perfikot is confident enough to keep any army crawling out of the slums from entering the lower district.

Moreover, she's prepared a Thermobaric Bomb on each Flying Airship as the ultimate trump card.

If Perfikot's preparations ended in failure, she'd simply have to admit the opponent's superior skills and then blow them up with two manually created uranium 235 elemental stones using the Philosopher's Stone, letting them feel what the sun's temperature is like.

For Perfikot, this is not impossible, but unless absolutely necessary, she won't resort to such an action.

After all, delivering a taste of the sun's temperature to the world would also put herself within the strike range given current delivery methods, making it a mutually destructive move.

Therefore, Perfikot didn't consider Einstein's flip-flops as the final solution.

Rather than this violent tabling, Perfikot hopes to uncover the whole matter's beginning and end, and then resolve it in a more efficient way, with minimal harm to the public.

However, judging by the current situation, Perfikot's wish to minimize harm to the public seems unlikely.

The number of alchemical creations deployed by the Death Sect in the external district has exceeded the estimated range, with at least 200,000 people affected there.

According to information reported by two intelligence departments, which finally started using their heads after getting kicked a few times, these alchemical creations have existed in the external district for over twenty years. The number of souls and resentment collected and people affected during this period presents a figure that's nightmare inducing.

Moreover, Perfikot is particularly concerned as, under the church's investigation, although Madam Babalon's exact identity remains unknown, quite a bit of relevant information has surfaced regarding her name.

"Madam Babalon is a name from the church's founding era, representing one of the major adversaries recognized when the church was established." Judge Shabelle brought Perfikot the church's treasured archives, introducing and explaining the situation: "This is a rather ancient cult that can be traced back to the mythical era when gods still walked the earth.

Even in the mythical era, this cult had a significant influence and power; despite the gods' disappearance and the mystery's decline today, they still possess considerable strength and impact.

And Madam Babalon, leader of this cult, has been called this name since the mythical era. Whether this is a single person who has lived for a thousand years or different individuals inheriting the same name, even the church can't determine.

But one thing is certain: as the leader of the Pleasure Cult, Madam Babalon is the chosen of the God of Joy, possessing power not inferior to the Legendary level."

While flipping through the ancient archives brought by Shabelle, Perfikot couldn't help but marvel at the profound heritage of an organization that has existed for millennia. These records from the mythical era a thousand years ago are so detailed and complete only within an organization like the church.

Even though Perfikot is still unaware of the exact identity of the enemy she faces through these records, she at least knows the Pleasure Cult is certainly among them.

And knowing the general situation of the enemy allows one to strike with precision rather than aimlessly wander like a headless fly.

"If it's only Legendary, it shouldn't be difficult for the church to deal with, right?" Perfikot noticed that the church records showed numerous attempts to annihilate the Pleasure Cult and they've had several fierce confrontations, yet there are no related kill records.

This left Perfikot curious and puzzled, wondering why a mere Legendary level creature couldn't be cornered by the church's capabilities.

However, Shabelle shook her head regretfully, saying, "Indeed, the church besieged them multiple times, but her abilities are quite unique. It is said that everyone who looks directly at her loses self-control, becoming puppets subjected to her control.

Moreover, she has a special ability, shared by Pleasure Cult followers, where they can transform pain into a kind of pleasurable experience and offer it as a sacrifice to their Divine, thereby gaining tremendous recovery abilities, or even Divine favor.
