Peter didn't hesitate when he made that claim, and the Choir members that had turned into Brainsuckers, were not spared from his wrath, and Alfred learned to fear him. Peter listened to the sounds of the Brainsuckers, and slammed the Holy Greatsword down upon them, listening to their cries of pain as the fire engulfed them.

The ones that had tried to fight back with magic stunning spells or tried to grab Peter were stabbed through by the Greatsword or by a slam of his Greatsword, and after that Peter would bring out his pistol and fire several bullets, he knew he would be out when this was all done but he didn't care. If he was still Spider-Man, Peter would hate himself for this... but times have changed, this fucked up world changed him. And Peter was going to make sure that their deaths were both quick and painful.

Peter killed all of the Brainsuckers, and found that one of them had a key to leave this place, but two of them had stood in front of a singular room. Peter opened the big doors to said room, and found... a single statue, one with its right arm pointed to the sky and the other pointed to its left.

"What the hell?" Peter asked, as he walked around the lone statue, questioning what it was doing here and turned behind. "Alfred! Do you know what this is?"

Alfred peeked around the corner looking at the blood covered Hunter who now had the extinguished firebound Holy Greatsword on his back.

"Uh... wait... I do. The Vicars would have one of the high Clerics follow this stance" Alfred said looking at the statue, "They called it 'Making Contact' it was the best way for the Vicar to understand the Great Ones. They would possess the body and speak to the Vicar. I only saw it once, as a child, you should have seen how Vicar Laurence carried himself"

"Laurence... that's the founder of the Healing Church" Peter said, "... Alfred, how long has the Healing Church been around?"

"Less than 100 years, as far as I know, the Healing Church was created after Laurence and his fellow Byrgenwerth Scholars came and gave the people the Old Blood, but that was before I was born" Alfred answered.

"... Right..." Peter said and left the room with Alfred following alongside Peter as they took the short route to the main floor, but Peter stopped as he saw something on one of the corpses of the choir turned Brainsuckers.

Peter leaned down and grabbed and saw a singular eye, but... it looked like one of the Hunter badges, like the Radiant Badge he found in the Healing Church Workshop, and the one that Eileen had given him. Peter gripped it, and thought about handing it to the messengers when he returned to the Dream.

Peter walked towards the main entrance to the Orphanage and used the key that he took from one of the corpses and opened it. When he did he noticed the gate from earlier, and to his left was the bridge that led to the rest of the Upper Cathedral Ward. Peter walked to the gave first and opened it, and then took a second to look at them... the Celestial Children that were still alive, some looking at the moon, some that looked like they were... crying, and some that were looking at him.
