Chapter 596: Chapter 304: In the Name of the Solar Hero, Judgement on Heretics!_1

There was just one hour left before the climactic event, the descent of the four Sun Heroes.

Apart from Lin Xun, there were four others on the Apostle shortlist, and he deeply understood the strategy to first stabilize the inside before dealing with the outside.

If the four hidden Apostles weren’t eliminated before the climactic event, these people would become ticking time bombs on the final battleground.

He had no idea when they might strike him from behind.

As for the possibility of working together... Lin Xun was the one with the highest kill count, so he might be able to work with several others.

But what about the rest?

Apostles who dared to enter Slaughter Mode, without having prepared an ’Escape Bookmark’, were willing to die for the position of disciple.

To the brainwashed ’New World’ Apostles, the position of disciple was far more valuable than life itself.

If they could trip him up in secret and backstab him at the crucial moment, they could earn the twelfth disciple’s seat—such a temptation is too great for anyone to refuse.

"I must wipe out the remaining four before the Sun Heroes descend!"

[...]

[You cancel the invisibility status, revealing yourself from behind the pillar and join the fellow believers at the center of the church, bowing in prayer.]

[On the main altar, the priest continues to preach the church’s doctrines and the greatness of the ’Bright New Moon’...]

[Several ’Law Knights’ have returned to the entrance of the church to continue their guard duty.]

[Suddenly, a fiery arrow shoots from the corner of the church!]

[The arrow has great momentum, but in your eyes, it seems to move in slow motion, and you easily dodge it with a leap into the air.]

[The arrow, with undiminished momentum, pierces several followers behind you. As its flames erupt, it burns their bodies to ashes.]

[The ’unknown apostle number 6’, holding a longbow in the corner, looks surprised, but immediately reacts and begins whispering a spell, apparently trying to re-enter invisibility.]

[You, about to land, tap your toes on a follower’s head. As the ’Qi’ inside your body surges, you charge towards ’unknown apostle number 6’...]

[While still mid-air, your figure vanishes...]

[A flash of sharp sword light, and the unknown apostle in the corner, about to go invisible, freezes, ceasing the chanting of the spell.]

[A clear bloodline emerges from the top of his brow, passing through his shell vertically, ’unknown apostle number 6’ falls in two halves, bloodying the church’s floor.]

[You have defeated the ’unknown apostle number 6’!]

[As ’unknown apostle number 6’ had ’Slaughter Feast’, you inherited the apostle’s related buff effect.]

[Buff effect ’Slaughter Feast +3’ has been upgraded to ’Slaughter Feast +4’!]

[’Slaughter Feast +4’: This buff increases your various attributes by 100% and will stay active until the end of this Easter Egg Chapter.]

The effect of a 100% increase in all attributes is incredibly powerful.

Like a Master Ninja shell, it not only doubles numerical values such as health and defenses but also doubles speed, agility, and strength.

Although numerical attributes like health and defense are not significant for a Master Ninja, just doubling agility and strength alone makes him exceptionally more powerful, it could be called a ’super doubling’.

[You deactivate invisibility, exposing yourself in the church.]

[On the main altar, the priest stares at you gloomily...] 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

[Thousands of followers scream and flee from you, and soon the sounds of heavy metal armor grinding against each other can be heard again.]

[Clanging! Clanging! Several ’Law Knights’ encircle you. As soon as the priest denounces you as a heretic, they’ll instantly execute you without hesitation.]

[Do you want to hide and run away, or do you want to rise and resist?]

There were still three unknown apostle candidates lurking in the dark. Even if Lin Xun searched all-out, he might not be able to uncover them all within one hour.

If he used the ’Command Flag’ again, it would consume the military power and reduce Saint Lance’s strength, which would be very disadvantageous for the upcoming demigod war.

Apostle number 6’s method of eliminating proxies had given Lin Xun an idea.

Now he was not in a strange Easter Egg Chapter, but in the Blood Sun World where he had once achieved the SSS rating!

After a slight thought, Lin Xun hit upon a plan.

He opened the item column, clicked on the prop!

[You pull out an antique golden ring, and raise it high!]

[The ring, which has been flickering with a red light, suddenly bursts into a dazzling sunbeam, and a huge figure of a giant emerges behind you...]

[The figure of the giant is bathed in golden sunlight, overturns the church’s dome within moments, and stands under the brilliant sun!]

[The giant figure dominated the flourishing Moonlight Town, making it look like a toy city built by a child.]

[No matter where you are in Saint Lance, just look up, and you can see the legendary Sun Hero—’The Guardian of the Golden Sun · Dan’!]

[For a moment, the priest’s face is priceless, staring at you with his mouth open, unable to speak.]

[The priest is in a daze for a long time, but eventually regains his senses, and kneels to you in homage...]

[Honored Hero Knight, may the Light be with you!]

[The many Law Knights surrounding you also kneel and loudly echo, may the Light be with you!]

[Many devout followers in the church bow in worship to you and shout with trembling excitement, may the Light be with you...]

Lin Xun was taken aback. He originally intended to use ’Giant Dan’s Sun Ring’ to prove his identity, to show he belonged to the ’Golden Sun’ Covenant, and borrow the power of the friendly Covenant - the White Moon Church.
