“Devil, you are a devil!!”

[Dragon's Pressure] combined with Negary's imposing manner increased by his every step, coupled with his understanding of humans made it so that his every gesture stimulated the spirit of the knights of Divine Grace.

As Negary approached, some of them couldn't bear this psychological pressure, screamed in horror and rushed towards Negary, only to be killed with a swat of Negary's hands.

More and more knights of Divine Grace were gathering, together with the Church's own troops of knights-in-training. Under the priests' Grace of Fearlessness, they chanted 'My Lord' as they charged at Negary from every direction.

As Negary's [Dragon's Pressure] expanded, it felt like a heavy stone that pressed against their hearts, if not for the priests' Grace of Fearlessness, they wouldn't even dare to charge forward.

〖 Cioul! 〗 another [Dracotongue] syllable, meaning the power of levitation, symbolizing the control of the Dragons over the sky, its specific usage was to allow a life form to be able to take flight.

Within the range of Negary's [Dragon's Pressure], a force began to act on these knights' bodies and made their bodies lighter. They were all charging forward preparing to attack, but the sudden lightness of their bodies made it so that they couldn't react before they crashed into one another.

All of them floated like balloons, colliding against one another in the air, vainly struggling to stabilize themselves. The most normal reactions were muscle strains, vomiting, dizziness, heartbeat pausing as well as various other abnormal conditions that completely immobilized this force.

Of course, if they could adapt to this state, it wouldn't be hard to fly under the effect of this power, but they obviously have no time to adapt.

〖 Kielit! 〗 Negary grabbed a sword that fell on the ground, and infused his power into it. Then with a wave of the sword, the blade cracked and broke into tiny pieces that scattered all around.

Just like that, every knight in the air lost their lives and fell down to the ground. When a lifeform was no longer alive, the power of the levitation [Dracotongue] would also lose its effect on their bodies. This way, they wouldn't even have the chance to pretend to be dead.

“Enough, Negary! This is the Church of Divine Grace, it is the abode of G.o.d!!” the new Pope Luen Donner walked out from the Grand Cathedral Divine Hall with a scepter in his hand, his face showing an expression of extraordinary anger.

He had only just become the Pope of the Church of Divine Grace after much effort. Although the Princess they supported did not inherit the throne, the influence of the Church had finally managed to infiltrate Royas for the first time.

On the current continent, most kingdoms only existed as self-governing states, with the two most powerful kingdoms being Interkam and Royas. Which meant that as long as the Church of Divine Grace fully spread their influence into these two kingdoms, the others would not be able to resist their integration.

Eventually, the Church of Divine Grace would become the faith of the entire continent, and his name, Luen Donner, would be written into the annals of history and become an object of admiration for countless people. He would bask in the light of G.o.d and become the greatest Pope in the history of the Church.

And yet why, why does Negary have to cause trouble at this point in time? Even capturing over half of the Grand Cathedral without much difficulty, what would happen to the pride of the Church of Divine Grace from now on?

〖 Only a fake 〗 Negary lightly said with a smile. From Eldridge, Negary understood the true face of the Church of Divine Grace's so-called G.o.d.

This 'G.o.d' wasn't even part of the Divine race like the New Deity and the Last G.o.d. In essence, it was the leftovers of the Last G.o.d when he torched himself to prolong the fire. Because the Last G.o.d amalgamated the souls of too many other powerful ent.i.ties in this world, not all of them could be completely burnt away.

Although this unburnt ent.i.ty also came out from the first flame, it was different from the first 3 G.o.ds. It didn't even have the qualifications to be used as fuel for the flames, and it was precisely because of its existence that Evil Spirits showed up in the first place. In a way, this ent.i.ty could be considered the original Evil Spirit.

However, this residue had a certain ability. Because it was the amalgamation of the remnant souls of many Combatants who once fused with the Last G.o.d, it had acquired a unique ability. Its believers, if their faith was st.u.r.dy enough and their physique was suitable, it was able to grant them the power formed by the traits of those powerful ent.i.ties of the past. This was the true nature of the Church's Graces.

What was even sadder was that because it was a multi-racial mixture who was burned by the flames, after the demise of the Second Empire, it had always been sealed inside those ruins. After so many years, it had given up on thinking.

It was the first Pope of the Church of Divine Grace who found the original Evil Spirit from the ruins and deified it. In fact, this 'G.o.d' was nothing but a Grace dispenser with only its instincts remaining. The ones who were truly in control of the Church of Divine Grace was the Council of Secret G.o.ds.

Even the Pope, Luen, knew very little about their 'G.o.d'. Only after he had been the Pope for a long time and gradually became aware of the truth of their 'G.o.d' would he be invited by the Council of Secret G.o.ds. If he were to decline this invitation, he would be secretly dealt with, then publicly declared that 'G.o.d' missed the Pope and had summoned the Pope back to heaven.

Negary continued to move forward. His invincible imposing manner coupled with the expanding [Dragon's Pressure] heavily struck their hearts. In this brief moment, even the knights of Divine Grace who had been blessed by the Grace of Fearlessness couldn't help but take a step back.

“Negary, the Church of Divine Grace is not a place you can act as you wis.h.!.+ G.o.d loves the world!” Luen coldly declared. The scepter in his hand began to give off s.h.i.+ning rays of light that enveloped everyone here, granting them the effects of every Grace.

This was the function of the Pope's inheritance scepter, temporarily granting all the Graces of the Church to those chosen by the wielder.

Salvation, Understanding, Vitality, Justice, Protection, Sacrifice, Temperance, Fearlessness, Tenacity, a total of 9 Graces. Every knight and priest here were clad in blinding light like angels who descended from above, at the same time, they all felt like being given a gift from G.o.d.

The originally frightened knights, after being flooded with the 9 Graces, felt their fear of death, their attachment to family members, and their reluctance to give up on life all vanished, leaving only G.o.d in their hearts. The knights of Divine Grace and even the priests all charged towards Negary with vigour and fanaticism in their minds.

〖 Doesn't seem too bad! 〗 Negary waved his hand to stop an incoming sword swing. The scales on his palm were cracked, spilling a touch of golden blood. His hand then moved and slapped the knight's head, shattering his helmet and splattering his blood all over.

The Grace of Tenacity allowed a person to not die immediately after a fatal strike, normally, this wasn't very useful so few chose to receive it, but it now played a crucial role.

Several dozen rays of light flashed on this person at once, the large number of Grace of Salvation forcibly pulled him back from the brink of death and restored him to perfect health.

〖 Jliost! 〗 with this [Dracotongue] syllable, an unstoppable force struck those who rushed at Negary. Their armor shattered and their blood spilled everywhere, but with an array of madly s.h.i.+ning lights, these people who had discarded everything but G.o.d in their hearts, including pain, once again charged at Negary.

〖 Pseudo-immortality and unlimited healing, how ridiculous 〗 Negary chuckled and raised his hand to the roof, his [Dragon's Pressure] surged forth as he uttered the unstoppable [Dracotongue] syllable again: 〖 Jliost! 〗

The roof was blown away to reveal the sky above.

A sky filled with darkness.
