Chapter 398

Not too far away from the Sun Shadow church stood a group of people, the leader of which was a man who had lost his right arm. He wore clothes that didn't really fit his body, a rather worn-out smoking pipe was hanging from his mouth, he took a deep puff from it while staring at the group in the distance with a pair of glowing green eyes.

Samit puffed out a mouthful of smoke, glanced at the people behind him, then turned back to the Sun Shadow church's group.

At first, he was only a normal teenager in Lohr, with a happy family and a girl he liked. However, after he accidentally came into contact with a sliver of Source Power, his [Origin] was gradually released and he obtained power.

However, this wasn't a good thing in Lohr. During one of the Spirit Cleansing Days, he was no longer able to suppress the abnormalities in his soul, his [Origin] was discovered and released.

After that, his life was completely ruined. Everyone in his family was either captured or killed, even the lover who almost married him was later married to someone else.

If it weren't for his unique ability, he most likely wouldn't have been able to escape the Sun Shadow church's pursuit. Even so, his right arm was still cut off, and he could still vividly remember the feeling of a searing hot sword cutting through his flesh.

"Boss … are we really going to do it?" A person next to Samit asked timidly. They had all been hunted down by the church before, so they understood just how terrifying the church was. They outnumbered them by a million times, and there were quite a few who were more powerful than they were, some of whom even had True Gods among them.

Although some of these Awakened Evil Souls were hunted down by the church, the reverence towards God that had been nurtured in their hearts since they were young couldn't be erased. Even though they managed to escape from the church due to their desire to survive, their fear and remorse towards God had never ceased.

Now that they were being asked to attack the church's group, it was only natural for them to feel fear.

"What are you afraid of? Once we succeed, we'll also be part of the True God's church. Haven't you had enough of these damned days?" Samit scoffed. Only the people who lived here knew just how terrible the environment around the Unrepenting Abyss was.

This time, the war between the churches had reached its climax. The Half Life church wanted to recruit them into their ranks, so attacking the Sun Shadow church's group this time was a sign of their allegiance.

"The problem is …" That person wanted to say something but was interrupted by Samit. "I know what you mean. They are cannon fodder. If we get involved in this kind of battle, our chances of survival are not high."

"But there's one thing. If we continue to struggle at death's door like this, will we be able to survive for long?" Around the Unrepenting Abyss, there were no other living things, let alone food. Everything they needed had to be transported from the outside world. Not only did they have to deal with the occasional dead souls, they also had to be careful not to be discovered by the Church when they went out to look for food.

"If you want to live, you have to risk your lives. Do you need me to teach you this? As for hatred and whatnot, isn't it enough as long as you can live?" After saying that, Samit slowly raised his remaining hand and walked forward. "If you don't want to continue this life, come with me."

Most of the Awakened souls followed Samit. Samit's [Origin] ability, [Split Vision], allowed him to manipulate the images reflected in other people's eyes, making it so that they only saw a part of it.

After achieving the second release of his [Origin], his [Origin] ability had become a segmented set of five senses, affecting the five senses of all living beings around him. Of course, this ability of his also had a weakness, which was that his own senses would be affected as well. His perception of everything was segmented, regardless of whether his ability was activated or not.

And after achieving the third stage of release, Samit's [Origin] ability had evolved into the ability to separate information. All of a person's senses were nothing more than a reading of information from the outside world, and as long as Samit was around him, he would be able to manipulate this information and segregate it, making it impossible for others to read it.

Unfortunately, this was where Samit's talents ended. Even though he had achieved the third stage of release, he couldn't progress any further and obtain the Seed of Truth from it. His body that hadn't been nurtured for years, as well as his lack of knowledge, made it difficult for him to endure the impact of the Seed of Truth, so he could only stop here. Even so, he was still the strongest person in this group.

It was also him who had manipulated the flow of information, making it so that the people of the Sun Shadow church could only sense the malice he carried, but couldn't discover them even though they weren't too far away from them.

Green, who was walking in the group, suddenly couldn't sense the malice that had been following them all this time, but his heart tensed up instead. Just because the malice was careful didn't mean that they had left, it was instead a sign that they were about to act.

Obviously, not everyone was as sharp as Negri. As soon as the malice disappeared, quite a few of them sighed in relief. Humans were always this way, constantly on guard against something, and when that thing disappeared, you would be at your most relaxed. For this reason, there were a few scary scenes in horror movies, such as when the surrounding atmosphere was extremely frightening, but the ghosts just wouldn't show up. When the scene turned to the sun and everything seemed to have passed, the ghosts would suddenly appear on the screen, which was the easiest way to scare people.

This was the case for the Sun Shadow church's group. When the malice that they had been on guard against suddenly disappeared, they immediately relaxed, only to be immediately attacked. A knight who was walking in the outer circle was suddenly decapitated, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out. However, the blood seemed to have come to life, manifesting into a large blood-red hand that grabbed the person next to it. From the looks of it, a person's head had turned into a large blood-red hand.

This sudden attack after relaxing caused the entire group to feel a bit panicked, but this panic was quickly dispelled.

The warm light calmed everyone's panic, the radiance of various divine techniques flashed, the knights' bodies became ablaze with burning flames, as if they were warriors who had just walked out from the flames.

God's Offering Day was the most important day of the church's hundred years. For the church, even if their headquarters were breached, it wouldn't be as great of a sin as the God's Offering Day being destroyed.

Because God didn't care about the church at all. For a thing like the church, as long as they could help him collect faith and preserve the souls of his believers, it would be enough. On the other hand, the God's Offering Day was extremely important to God, so if it was destroyed, they would be punished by God, this was recorded in the history of God.

Because of this, every God's Offering Day would send out all of their elites. The fact that there had been casualties due to the enemy's methods was already the enemy's fault.

It didn't matter if they couldn't see the enemy, so they just used a large-scale attack. The two priests then held each other's hands, connecting their souls to sense God's existence and communicate with the divine technique he had bestowed upon them. Endless sunlight descended from the sky like sharp arrows, sweeping through the area around them.
