Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 479 - 268: God of Love Church vs. The Dark Side of Love God, Release "Snow Country Border"? _2
Errors need to be cleansed.
So when he really took action, a mowing operation unfolded just like that.
...
In the depths of the thick fog.
Among a few high-ranking members of the Church of the Love God gathered together, a cardinal holding a crystal ball frowned.
"That Prince of the Empire is truly domineering."
The Pope beside him glanced at him and said:
"Do you have any dissatisfaction with his actions?"
The cardinal shook his head:
"It’s not my personal dissatisfaction, just some unnecessary concern about his kind of power."
The Pope shook his head and said:
"I know what you’re thinking, his methods make it so that those weaker than him have almost no ability to resist in his presence."
"Such overly hegemonic power means that as his strength rises higher, the fewer people there are who have the qualification to say no to him."
The cardinal sighed and said:
"In the long run, his existence is of no benefit to the Star Continent."
Extreme hegemony implies extreme centralization of power, which often means extreme corruption.
This was what truly worried him.
But the Pope of the Love God just smiled and said:
"There’s really nothing to worry about, haven’t they already had one in the Ense Empire?"
Upon hearing this, the cardinal’s face turned dark.
He certainly knew that the Pope of the Love God was referring to that Emperor.
He shook his head and said:
"That’s right, having one more really doesn’t make a difference."
The Pope of the Love God said calmly:
"I actually think having a few more like him is quite good; after all, the pressure from outside has been increasing over the years."
"If the Emperor hadn’t proactively decided to defend over the last 100 years, I can’t even imagine what the Continent would be like now."
Only then did the cardinal stabilize his mindset and say:
"Indeed, after all, we are currently at a disadvantage."
A moment later, he somewhat enviously said:
"So at times like this, I can’t help but envy our rivals."
Another cardinal said:
"Do you mean the Church of Glory and Justice?"
He nodded and said:
"The holy maiden of this generation has received incredibly powerful blessings. I even suspect the Master of Glory has divided his authority to her."
"I once met that girl at the headquarters of Glory."
"The amount and intensity of grace upon her was simply unheard of."
He paused for a moment and said:
"She is practically like a mobile large-scale church."
The gaze of the others fell upon that cardinal.
Someone whispered:
"Isn’t this abnormal? Does that child have divine blood?"
Someone said:
"It should be impossible; the Master of Glory has not left any descendants on the Star Continent, and there has been no sign of a saint descending in these years."
The Pope of the Love God touched his chin and said:
"That’s really strange."
"Such grace is not casually bestowed."
"There has never been such a situation in the history of the Church of Glory and Justice."
Someone asked: "Has this happened in the history of any other church?"
The Pope shook his head:
"No, there has."
Everyone was shocked.
Even though they were cardinals, they had never heard of such news.
"It is normal for you not to know," said the Pope of the Love God, "I only discovered it when going through historical records from thousands of years ago."
Someone asked: "Which church experienced such a situation?"
The Pope of the Love God said:
"In the historical records I referenced, I only found two churches that had ever done such a thing."
"One of them is the Elf and Art God."
"The person who received such a blessing appeared on the eve of the extinction of the Elf Realm."
"The records don’t have enough detail, only mentioning that he accomplished an impossible miracle."
Previously envying the Church of Glory, that bishop said:
"Doesn’t that elf have a name?"
The Pope said:
"No, only an alias."
"An alias?"
"Seems to be called..." The Pope pondered for a moment and said, "Merlin, yes, called Merlin."
"And which other True God Church was it?"
Upon this question, the Pope’s expression turned silent.
The people present were not without insight.
Someone quietly asked:
"Did that church fall or become extinct?"
The Pope sighed and said: "Shortly after that divine blessing appeared, that church was merely a shell in name."
"Hiss... Could it be, the Remnant Sun?"
The Pope did not speak.
The others also fell silent.
They just felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies.
Just the God of Elf and Art doing this, they hadn’t reacted yet.
But if you add the Remnant Sun... oh no, it should be said the Fiery Sun Church, then the situation is different.
Both these churches have experienced the same disaster in history.
At the end of the disintegration of the Elf Realm, it was related to the decline in the divine power level of the God of Elf and Art.
Although it’s unclear what exactly happened in the Elf Realm at that time, it can be confirmed that their main god lost a lot of authority during that period.
Even the authority over art fell into the hands of their own deity.
Of course, this is a topic that cannot be mentioned within the God of Love Church.
After all, the priests still hope that the faithful will have a more positive impression of their own Love God.
Although in the domain of deities, sometimes the authority is taken away.
But this can only be understood and not spoken of, it is not suitable for wide publicity.
The past of the Fiery Sun Church needs no mention.
The Eternal Fierce Sun has fallen, a fact acknowledged by the vast majority on the continent.
Many years ago, the Eternal Fierce Sun waged a war against more than a dozen evil gods.
That war is said to have had irreversible effects on the outer realm.
It involved a considerable number of true gods and evil gods.
The Eternal Fierce Sun, moreover, led the charge, engaging in fierce battles with various evil gods.
In the end, after killing countless evil gods, it exhausted its strength and perished.
That war is historically known as the Remnant Sun Catastrophe.
A war that wore down a powerful divine force capable of repeated resurrection to its demise.
It’s simply incomprehensible.
Piecing together the events of the God of Elf and Art and the Eternal Fierce Sun simultaneously raised a terrible thought in their minds.
The faith of the Elf Main God dramatically declined, even losing authority, and the God of Love Church has never ceased privately speculating about "Elven Divine War."
Only such wars, which repeatedly result in the mysterious deaths of gods, could expose the core authority of gods.
The Eternal Fierce Sun speaks for itself.
"What exactly does the Master of Glory want to do?"
Someone whispered: "Your Eminence, why don’t you go and ask their pope?"
The Pope of Love glanced at him and said:
"Ask what? What we are doing now, to the believers outside and the larger congregation, is unfathomable."
He said softly:
"Alright, let the moles we placed inside the church, go and elevate the dark side of the Love God."
Everybody’s expression turned solemn.
Suddenly, someone said:
"All is for greater faith, the Purge Plan must not fail."
Then there was silence all around.
...
On the other side, Louis and Beatrice have already successfully met Qian.
"What’s the situation on your side?"
Louis looked at Qian.
Qian frowned and said:
"Looking at the situation inside this half-plane, the strong people accumulated by the dark side of the Love God over the centuries should all be gathered here."
Her information gathering was no less than the Secret Guard’s.
The situation around was more severe than he imagined.
"Did the Demigods emerge too?" Beatrice asked.
Qian nodded and said:
"I sensed Demigods battling in a more distant place."
"Both forces belong to priests, and their nature of power is extremely similar."
Beatrice frowned:
"Truly bold, daring to initiate a Demigod conflict on the empire’s land."
Louis pondered for a moment and said:
"Beatrice, are you considering getting involved?"
Beatrice hesitated for a moment and said:
"Unless we go outside to gather more people, we don’t have enough cards in our hand right now, do we?"
Louis smiled:
"Why do you think the cards in our hand are insufficient?"
"Hmm?"
"Let’s find the place with the most Legendary Strongmen gathered from the dark side of the Love God and surround them."
Beatrice’s eyes lit up:
"You want to use ’The Snow Country Border’?"
Louis nodded.
"But if a Demigod attacks the projected walls, this thing might break."
"No, Beatrice, if a Demigod from the dark side of the Love God initiates an attack, he will only get injured."
"Huh?"
Louis did not explain.
So far, very few should know that the source of power of the Love God’s dark side is Xilin.
But one thing is certain, the Love God’s dark side amalgamated the largest fragment of the Goddess of Beauty.
As long as the Love God’s dark side does not die, then Xilin’s work is equivalent to a restricted Divine Artifact.
Especially for the Demigods of the dark side, the possibility of destruction... is zero.
