In Feynapotter City, within a simple hall of the Alhambra Palace.
Philip I of Castile, dressed in classical attire, was contemplating the bronze book before him.
Suddenly, he became alert and looked towards the southeast.
He seemed to see a brilliant fiery cloud, sensing an extremely evil power descending upon his territory.
"That is, towards South Colson." But Philip I quickly withdrew his gaze, as he had more important matters to attend to, let the people of the Earth Mother Church worry about it.
… …
Southwestern part of the Kingdom of Feynapotter, the headquarters of the Earth Mother Church, "Source of Life".
As far as the eye could see, there were flowers, plants, and trees covered with colorful but not gaudy blossoms. These flowers were not particularly beautiful, but they gave people a very comfortable and reassuring feeling.
Many huge trees formed a massive cathedral-like structure, surrounded by green leaves, full of vibrant life, appearing like a hanging garden from a distance.
Around the cathedral were many smaller plant-based buildings, each with its own purpose. Some were residences for bishops and priests, some were living areas, and others were filled with plants that bore fruits with meat or even plants that directly produced bread.
Many bishops and priests passed through the forest paths, shuttling among those buildings, busy as usual.
The Pope, wearing a green, luxurious but not extravagant, wide-sleeved robe, an oval crown, and holding a yellow staff, suddenly arrived at the communication magic circle hall set up in the giant "Garden Cathedral".
This was a gentle middle-aged woman who looked kind but gave off a sense of withering and decay.
After the staff here bowed, the bishop in charge of the magic circle stepped forward and asked, "Your Holiness, what are your instructions?"
Even if there were any instructions, a bishop or priest would be sent to deliver the message.
Since the Pope had suddenly come here, it must be something urgent.
However, the Pope did not seem anxious at all: "Contact Gabriel."
Gabriel was the bishop of the Feynapotter region, Simpson's superior.
The bishop in charge of the communication magic circle signaled to his subordinates, and the other priests understood, immediately beginning to act, either locating the target or injecting spirituality into the surrounding crystals to activate the magic circle.
Soon, Gabriel's somewhat illusory figure appeared in the center of the magic circle, which was the archbishop's spiritual body and mental body.
Without Gabriel actively praying, the Pope could directly contact him in this way.
Gabriel was about to salute the Pope, but the Pope spoke first: "What is happening in the South Colson area?"
The Pope had read the relevant reports. At this time, it was Gabriel's subordinate who had just arrived in the South Colson area to preach.
Gabriel was slightly stunned: "Today, a large-scale battle against the Blood Sanctify Sect broke out there, cracking down on the evil organization."
Gabriel was also a little strange. He, an archbishop, had the right to make decisions on such matters and had already submitted a report in advance, so there was no problem procedurally.
The Earth Mother Church has reports of cracking down on such evil organizations every day. The bishops in the Holy See would handle it. If a small victory was achieved, they would at most give the Pope a routine report after the operation was over.
The Pope paused slightly: "A high-level battle broke out there."
"Simpson once reported that a demigod-level battle might break out." Gabriel thought, but a demigod-level battle would not alarm the Pope: "Do you need me to go and support them?"
The Pope looked to the east: "Wait a moment."
He paused and said: "Even if there is support, I will go."
Gabriel was dumbfounded, which meant that an angel-level battle was breaking out in South Colson.
… …
South Colson, west bank of Full Moon Lake.
Time returned to three minutes ago.
The sky over most of the South Colson area had turned blood red, as if blood-red raindrops could fall at any time.
Archibald, who was protecting Fors and chasing the enemy, looked at the sky, wondering if he should protect Fors and leave immediately.
Other Beyonders also felt the strong malice over there, but the fleeing enemies became excited again, as if they had been encouraged by something, stopped running, and turned back to continue fighting.
So, a new battle broke out between the two sides, and Simpson and others did not have the energy to care why the sky suddenly turned red.
Ordinary people suffered. The "expanded" volcano was already Baron Eugene's territory. A violent earthquake occurred within dozens of miles around the volcano. After many ground fissures opened, orange-red lava gushed out.
Amid people's screams, the earthquake destroyed their houses and even caused landslides, burying a large number of lives.
Lava appeared in the farmland and in the town, setting off raging fires.
But many ordinary people did not panic and run away, but knelt on the ground and worshiped in the direction of the small volcano.
They could feel that that was the demon they usually worshiped. Now this demon with great power had descended, and they had to show their piety at the first moment.
Whoosh ~
The raging fire burned, and the thick smoke floated, but it could not affect their piety.
… …
The lava in the small volcano was bubbling and boiling. At this time, the lava had turned into thick blood.
With a force of the huge hand, a head with a pair of curved horns emerged from the blood. The head had no skin, only red muscles and white bones could be seen.
He had a very uneasy smile, or rather, a very fake smile, or described as a forced smile, except that he was "muscle smiling" without skin.
Even if Hobert tried hard to close his eyes, he could still feel the fear emerging from the depths of his soul.
Such fear was engraved in his genes. The ancients had such fear and powerlessness when they were hunted by those powerful ancient Beyonder beasts.
Even Jonathan dared not look over there. He was about to open a door of illusion to escape, but he heard Hobert shouting in mid-air: "Wait a minute, keep an eye on Bowen!"
"It won't work!" Jonathan shouted: "The helper I asked you to invite is not his opponent at all!"
"I will pray to my Lord now!"
Jonathan had vaguely guessed before that Hobert seemed to have a similar faith to himself: "It's too late!"
This was his experience. When he prayed to the "Primordial Demoness", it would take several days to receive a divine revelation, but most of the time, there was no divine revelation at all.
Even praying to the Seven Gods might not immediately receive a response.
Jonathan saw that Hobert was only focused on praying and did not give him an answer: "Alas!"
He gave himself a limit of 15 seconds! After 15 seconds, he had to leave, otherwise he would not be able to leave.
But only three or four seconds passed, and Jonathan suddenly looked into the air, where a surge of surging power appeared.
Then he saw a huge ball appearing in the sky, half of the ball was pink flesh, and half was a transparent film like a soap bubble.
Inside the film, there was a light yellow liquid, and a completely dark baby was curled up in the center of the light yellow liquid.
It looked like a pregnant uterus, with an umbilical cord connecting the baby and the flesh.
This was the "Holy Infant King" that Hobert had created using the "Nation of Disorder" and the "Umbilical Cord of the Evil God's Offspring" he had obtained in Tingen City.
Originally, Hobert wouldn't have dared to do this, because he had no way to control the "Holy Infant King" like he ordered the "Great Sage". This guy attacked indiscriminately, and Hobert himself could easily be devoured by the "Degeneration" and other elements exhibited by the "Holy Infant King".
However, Hobert, lie on horseback, just had an inspiration. He could have Maximilian fly him along the edge of the dangerous area. He would release the "Holy Infant King" and run away immediately.
In theory, he could escape the influence of the "Holy Infant King" this way.
After a little weighing, Hobert decided to take a gamble, because now he had to do his best. If he couldn't stop the "Bloody Archduke" here, it wouldn't just be a simple failure to hunt Bowen.
Simpson, Angus, and the others would definitely not be able to escape. Hobert's investment and foundation in Jeffrey's territory would also be completely reduced to nothing.
However, desperately fighting was still desperately fighting, and he still had to try his best to protect himself. While releasing the "Holy Infant King", he also did not forget to provide a layer of barrier for himself and Maximilian as protection.
However, this layer of barrier could only last for three seconds without the continuous power support of the "Nation of Disorder".
After doing all this, Hobert returned to the real world: "Run! Run as fast as you can!"
Maximilian also knew the danger and fled like a gust of wind.
They were already quite far away from the "Bloody Archduke" and the "Holy Infant King", and with such a vigorous flight, they soon left the two angels far behind.
Three seconds later, the barrier disappeared, and Hobert immediately felt an unprecedented sense of fear. His heart was about to jump out of his chest.
This was not a description, but a direct observation. Hobert could see his chest heaving.
He felt that his heart was really about to break through the obstacles of ribs and muscles and jump out of his chest.
It was because he had reached the level of Sequence 5. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been "scared" to death long ago, and even after death, he would not know what had scared him to death.
Even a Sequence 6 would faint from such a violent reaction in the body.
At the same time, whether it was on Hobert's skin or on Maximilian's bones, thick black mucus was oozing out. Those were the elements of degradation appearing in their bodies, and the elements of degradation had actually reached a visible level.
But they all knew that the most important thing at this time was to run for their lives!
Maximilian flew desperately for another ten seconds, and the sense of fear suddenly disappeared, and the elements of degradation on their body surface no longer secreted too much.
Maximilian fell to the ground as if he had lost his strength, and he couldn't get up even after trying several times.
At this time, Hobert, who felt that he had lost half his life, sighed: This is the price of desperate fighting.
But for him, this price was worth it. It could not only protect his base, but also protect the existing fruits of victory.
He used a "Healing Spell" on himself, but it had little effect, so he came to the "Nation of Disorder" again and covered himself and Maximilian with the surging "Power of Order".
Although this would not restore the negative effects on them, it would not cause them to lose control because of it.
Then, Hobert used "True Sight" to look at the distant battlefield.
Because of the connection between the "Holy Infant King" and the "Great Sage" with the "Nation of Disorder", Hobert's "True Sight" could extend to the vicinity of the battlefield.
Then Hobert saw the "Holy Infant King" beating up the "Great Sage"!
Hobert sighed: This little brat really doesn't distinguish between friend and foe!
Logically speaking, the "Great Sage" has no emotions, which is why it gained the advantage in the previous battle.
In fact, the "Blatherer" was also quite aggrieved in his defeat. At this level, using the enemy's emotions to attack is still an important means for the "Blatherer".
But the "Great Sage" has no emotions. Isn't that annoying?
Theoretically, the "Great Sage" should not have any emotions, but at this moment, Hobert clearly saw a look of fear on that illusory snake face.
He saw the "Holy Infant King" raise his hand slightly, and the huge body of the "Great Sage" was lifted up by an invisible force. After being swung around in the air, it was slammed hard on the "Bloody Archduke" who had just crawled out.
It was quite like a naughty child playing with a snake.
Through "True Sight", Hobert finally saw clearly that the "Bloody Archduke" had no skin all over his body, and the red muscles were exposed to the air.
Even if He didn't have any fierce expressions, He looked very hideous.
Of course, His expression was indeed not fierce, but a very uncomfortable smile, like sneering, like mocking, and like smiling sinisterly.
This "Bloody Archduke" is the only remaining leader of the Blood Sanctify Sect, Duke Reze!
And at this time, it is Reze's mythical creature state.
He casually flicked away the flying "Great Sage", and then He grabbed at the "Holy Infant King", and the liquid in the spherical structure like a uterus quickly decreased.
This is why Hobert was so relieved to send the "Holy Infant King" to the Southern Colson area.
Even if He attacks indiscriminately, but in the situation where there is only one opponent of the same level, while fighting, He will also fight with the enemy's angels.
And even if the enemy's angels find that the "Holy Infant King" is also attacking his own people, He would not dare to ignore this enemy.
Unless He ends the summoning or leaves this area, He will have to fight with the "Holy Infant King".
"Wah ~"
The cry of the "Holy Infant King" shook the surrounding mountains, and Reze, the main target of the attack, had his bloody head directly explode.
But soon, a huge amount of blood gushed out of His neck, and a new head was washed out.
The excess blood flowed into the small lake formed by the earthquake just now like a stream.
In the uterus, the illusory and dark child suddenly opened his eyes and spat out unspeakable filthy words at Reze.
Reze also opened his mouth, as if no sound was made, but as if extremely depraved and evil sounds were made.
Hobert in the "Nation of Disorder" said in his heart: Their battle is quite like a dumb person scolding the street!
On the battlefield, the "Holy Infant King" was immediately pinched by an invisible and huge force, and He was originally round, but was actually pinched into an oval!
And Reze's chest and abdomen exploded directly.
Whoosh ~
Some thick brown liquid with a pungent fishy smell flowed out from inside.
After this liquid flowed out, and a large amount of blood spewed out, Reze's chest and abdomen automatically merged and returned to their original state.
Taking advantage of the fact that the "Holy Infant King" had not completely escaped Reze's "Whispers", Reze's huge body absorbed a large amount of blood from the volcano like a sponge, but His body did not expand.
Reze opened his mouth, and a torrent of "blood flow" sprayed towards the "Holy Infant King", covering the "Holy Infant King" who had just solved the "Whispers".
A larger blood orb formed outside the "Holy Infant King," with a tremendous force struggling inside, as if trying to break free from the constraints of the "blood orb."
However, this "blood orb" was like extremely resilient rubber, and the tremendous force couldn't break through it no matter what.
After struggling a few times, the tremendous force seemed to realize that struggling like this was futile.
But the color of the "blood orb" quickly changed. Initially, streaks of black appeared, as if some ink had been mixed into the thick blood.
As the black areas grew larger and larger, becoming entire patches, suddenly, the "blood orb" was torn open from one side, and the "Holy Infant King" seized the opportunity to escape from within.
The mass of red and black mixed thick liquid did not lose control. Instead, under the manipulation of two tremendous forces, they rubbed against each other, mixed together, and attacked each other.
At this time, Hobert, who was observing the battle in the "Nation of Disorder," had regained some of his mental strength. He realized that the strengths of both sides in this battle were evenly matched. Unless he also brought in the "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord," the battle could not be resolved within the "Holy Infant King's" "summoning time."
Hobert was about to summon the black eye that could be shaped into the "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord" when he seemed to suddenly think: perhaps that "Blatherer" was also a breakthrough point.
After pondering for a moment, Hobert decided to first deploy the "Bull Devil Monarch" to the battlefield.
Because if he deployed the "Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord" to the battlefield again, it was very likely to attract angels from other forces.
After all, this was the Northern Continent, a Northern Continent with the dual stable rule of the royal family and the church.
So, in a corner of the battlefield, next to the "Great Sage," who had become much more illusory than when he first appeared, the "Bull Devil Monarch" with a bull's head and deer antlers suddenly appeared.
Although the "Great Sage" was losing power severely, it had been clinging tightly to that "Blatherer."
The "Blatherer" was now in a very bad state, because after the "Great Sage" suffered the attacks of two angels, it would only accelerate the dissipation of its own power.
The power that composed it was very high-level, and the two angels had no way to weaken the "Great Sage" in essence.
But the "Blatherer" was different. From the moment Duke Reze began to descend, he had been suffering the attacks of angel-level negative influences.
Although the attacks from Duke Reze of the same pathway would not be too serious for him, the depravity exhibited by the "Holy Infant King" had been tormenting the "Blatherer."
Even if the "Blatherer" also had abilities related to "Depravity," the "Depravity" of the two was different. The "Depravity" of the "Blatherer" was the depravity of desire and the flesh, while the "Holy Infant King" was the depravity of the spiritual body.
Moreover, the "Language of Foulness" created by the "Holy Infant King" made the "Blatherer" feel worse than death. If it were a Sequence 3 of another pathway, he would have already lost control.
Because the "Blatherer" had a powerful mental strength, he was still putting up a final struggle at this time.
After the "Bull Devil Monarch" appeared, he immediately uttered a hoarse syllable: "Depravity!"
Its depravity was similar to the "Depravity" of the "Holy Infant King," the only difference being that the "Bull Devil Monarch's" level of depravity was lower.
But this still immediately made the "Blatherer" suffer unbearable pain. After all, before, the "Depravity" of the "Holy Infant King" was only the negative effect that He exhibited, or rather, His influence on the surrounding environment. Wherever He went, He would affect it.
And this "Bull Devil Monarch" belonged to a targeted "special care."
"Disorder!" The "Bull Devil Monarch" used his second Beyonder power.
The "Blatherer" gasped, uttered a very vicious curse, and then his spirit completely collapsed, his body rapidly swelled, and he completely lost control.
The Great Sage turned his head and swallowed the "Blatherer," who was out of control, into his stomach in one gulp.
And the curse of the "Blatherer" before his death had no effect on the "Bull Devil Monarch." Only a small area of the "Bull Devil Monarch's" abdomen turned slightly paler.
After solving the "Blatherer," the "Bull Devil Monarch" and the "Great Sage" immediately went to support Jonathan according to Hobert's orders.
At this time, Jonathan and Bowen were both exhausted. Originally, these two demigods, who were the main force in each other's plans, were now like "little transparents," on the very edge of the battlefield.
"Distortion!" Very far away from the two demigods, the "Bull Devil Monarch" distorted Bowen's idea of escaping into the idea of "making a final blow, and escaping whether he can defeat Jonathan or not."
Nonsense, how could he not escape?
Seeing that the other party's two Sequence 3 level helpers had arrived, what was he waiting for if he didn't run?
Of course, Bowen's final blow had no strength, but it bought time for the "Great Sage" and the "Bull Devil Monarch."
Crack ~
Successive giant thunders swept towards Bowen, sweeping away the surrounding trees, rocks, and finally a layer of the mountain's surface.
Jonathan, who was not far from Bowen, quickly hid in the illusory door, while Bowen had just recovered from the effect of "Distortion." Although he immediately opened his wings and turned into gray hard stone to block the lightning.
However, streaks of lightning thicker than buckets fell and swept across, ruthlessly shattering these hard stones, and plowing through Bowen's "Demonized" body again and again.
After the intense lightning, most of Bowen's body had been charred, only a small piece of his wings remained, and he had no idea where his tail had gone.
But he still struggled to get up, wanting to summon magma to speed up his self-healing, wanting to escape here immediately.
But at this time, the "Bull Devil Monarch" had come close. It tore open the "Devil's" back and pulled out the heart that was still beating violently.
Bowen wanted to use his only remaining arm to grab his back, hoping to smooth the wound.
But his struggle now was futile. After grabbing several times, he finally fell to the ground without moving.
The "Bull Devil Monarch" held the demon's heart in one hand and grabbed the demon's corpse, heading towards Hobert.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Jonathan took a deep breath and completely disappeared behind the illusory door.
His current state was not very good, and he couldn't help much even if he continued to stay here.
The battle at the angel level was still continuing. Duke Reze's shadow had betrayed Him at this time and was joining forces with the "Holy Infant King" to launch an offensive.
And the liquid in the "Holy Infant King's" womb was getting less and less, and the head of the black illusory infant had been exposed. He frowned, looking as if he was very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Duke Reze seemed to sense something and glanced at the abdomen of the "Great Sage" over there.
The aura of the "Blatherer" had completely disappeared! The "Blatherer" was the summoner, and his death meant that there was no point for Duke Reze to continue fighting.
