Chapter 92
"Demon, you're a demon!!"
[Dragon's Might] combined with Negri's unstoppable momentum as he moved forward, coupled with Negri's understanding of the human heart, his every action stimulated the minds of the knights of Divine Grace.
As Negri approached, some of them couldn't bear this psychological pressure and madly screamed as they charged towards Negri, only to be casually killed by Negri.
More and more knights of Divine Grace arrived, as well as the Church of Divine Grace reserves who were undergoing training. Under the influence of the priests' Grace of Fearlessness, they chanted the Lord and rushed towards Negri from all directions.
The expansion of Negri's [Dragon's Might] was like a heavy stone pressing down on their hearts. If it weren't for the priests' Grace of Fearlessness, they wouldn't have even dared to rush forward.
“cioul！” [Dracotongue] resounded, meaning the power of levitation, symbolizing the dragon's authority to control the sky. Its specific function was to allow living beings to levitate and fly.
Within the area of influence of Negri's [Dragon's Might], a force appeared on the knights' bodies, making them feel lighter. They were charging forward, preparing to attack with all their might, but their bodies suddenly became so light that they couldn't react at all, causing them to lose their breath.
They became like balloons, colliding with each other, then constantly struggled in the air. Muscle strain was the norm, vomiting, dizziness, heartbeat pauses, all sorts of abnormal states, causing them to become confused.
Of course, if they could adapt to this state, flying under this power wouldn't be too difficult, but they obviously didn't have the time to adapt.
“kielit！” Negri grabbed a knight's sword that had fallen to the ground, infused his power into the sword, then swung it. The blade of the sword shattered into small pieces of iron that scattered everywhere.
One by one, the knights died in the air, then fell to the ground. After a living being died, the [Dracotongue]'s levitation 'effect on them would disappear, so they didn't even have the chance to play dead.
"Enough, Negri, this is the Church of Divine Grace, the residence of God!!" Our new Pope, Luen Donner, walked out of the Grace Cathedral's Sacred Hall of Miracles, scepter in hand. His expression was exceptionally furious.
For him, it wasn't easy for him to become the Pope of the Church of Divine Grace. Although the Princess they nominated did not inherit the throne, they had still managed to extend the tentacles of the Church of Divine Grace into the Kingdom of Royas.
At this point in time, the other kingdoms on the continent were only there to make up the numbers, the two most powerful kingdoms were Royas and Interkam. As long as the Church of Divine Grace spread to these two kingdoms, the other kingdoms would slowly find it hard to resist them.
In the end, the Church of Divine Grace would become the religion of the entire continent, and his name, Luen Donner, would be written into the annals of history, becoming the object of admiration for countless people. He would bathe in the light of God and become the greatest Pope in the history of the Church of Divine Grace.
But why? Why did Negri have to come and cause trouble at this time? He even offered up more than half of the Cathedral of Divine Grace so easily. Where would the Church of Divine Grace put their face after this?
"It's just a fake." Negri chuckled. From Eldridge, Negri had learned the true face of the so-called God of the Church of Divine Grace.
This God wasn't even of the same race as the New God and the Last God. Its essence was that when the Last God continued the first flame, his body had devoured too many Combatants of other races, causing the souls of these Combatants to not be completely burned away.
It was this thing that had not been completely burned away that walked out from the first flame. Unlike the three Gods who walked out from the first flame, this thing wasn't even qualified to be used as firewood. It was because of its appearance that the Evil Spirits slowly emerged. In other words, this thing was the original Evil Spirit.
However, this remnant was actually quite capable. Because it had gathered the remnant souls of many powerful Combatants and had fused with the Last God, it had obtained a unique ability. For those who worshipped it, if their connection was close enough and their physique was suitable, it would be able to grant them the power formed from the characteristics of those Combatants. This was the origin of the Grace.
What was even more tragic was that because it was a mixture of many different races and was burned by the first flame, after the fall of the second Empire, it was sealed inside the ruins. After so many years, it had given up on thinking.
The first Pope of the Church of Divine Grace found the original Evil Spirit from the ruins and deified it. In reality, this God was nothing more than a Grace generator that only had its instincts left. The one who truly ruled the Church of Divine Grace was the Council of the Secret Gods.
The Pope, Luen, only knew a little about their God. It was only after he had been the Pope for a long time that he gradually realized the truth about God that he was invited by the Council of the Secret Gods. If he refused, he could only be dealt with in secret by announcing that God missed the Pope and summoned back to Heaven.
Negri continued to walk forward. This invincible aura combined with the release of [Dragon's Pressure] impacted their souls. At this moment, even the knights who had been blessed by the Grace of Fearless couldn't help but retreat.
"Negri, the Church of Divine Grace is not a place where you can do whatever you want, God loves the world!" Luen coldly declared. The scepter in his hand glowed brightly and enveloped everyone here, manifesting the effects of various Graces on everyone here.
This was the effect of the Pope's Scepter of Inheritance, to temporarily grant all the Graces to everyone.
Salvation, True Knowledge, Life, Justice, Protection, Sacrifice, Temperance, Fearlessness, Perseverance, a total of nine Graces. Everyone's body glowed with White Light, like angels descending from the sky, each of them could feel the Grace of God.
The knights of Divine Grace who were originally scared away, after being flooded by the nine Graces, their fear of death, their love for their families, and their reluctance to give up their lives all disappeared, leaving only God in their hearts. The knights of Divine Grace, even the priests, roared and charged towards Negri.
"Not bad!" Negary swung his hand to catch one of the knight's swords, the scales on his hand shattered, causing golden blood to flow out. He then pulled his hand back and struck the knight's head with his palm, shattering the helmet and spraying blood everywhere.
The effect of the Grace of Perseverance was to prevent someone from dying immediately after receiving a fatal blow. Under normal circumstances, this was useless, so very few people would choose to use it. But now, it played an important role.
Several dozen flashes of light enveloped this person's body, a large number of Graces of Salvation forcibly pulled this person back from his near-death state and restored him to health.
“jliost！” [Dracotongue] resounded. An unstoppable force struck the charging knights, causing their armor to crack and blood to splatter, but then the White Light continued to shine. These people who only had God in their hearts completely ignored their pain and once again charged towards Negri.
"Locking HP and unlimited healing, how shameless" Negri chuckled, then once again raised his hand towards the roof. [Dragon's Pressure] surged and once again uttered the unstoppable [Dracotongue]: "Jliost!"
The roof was blown away, revealing the sky.
