Chapter 1617: Chapter 344: What Has Happened to This Mainland?
Being pushed in an instant, Lamias only felt that even at the moment when the God-slaying Armor was shattered by Father Strala, she had never felt such terror as now.
With at least twenty Paladins, and an even larger number of clergy from the priest team, there was even a Red-robed Hub… Such a lineup is enough to start a major war with the Black Religious Congregation.
At this moment, the attention of these high-ranking figures in the Holy Church was all focused on Lamias—even if she was wearing the God-slaying Armor, her heart would beat wildly, let alone without it!
The only Fear Inverted Cross still hung on the tail box of the motorcycle, as for the motorcycle… the motorcycle was now outside the circle of Paladins from the Holy Church!
Merciless!
“A Battle Nun from the Black Religious Congregation?” The Red-robed Hub suddenly frowned, instinctively scrutinizing Lamias, seemingly pondering… but this Red-robed Hub quickly shook his head, not caring much.
What a joke, the power of the Black Religious Congregation on the Oth Continent was nearly wiped out overnight by several Descending Angels… Two Descending Angels were accompanying them this time, one of whom was the most powerful Angel Hamaliel Lord among the Descending Angels. Don’t say just a Battle Nun, even if the Commander of the Black Religious Congregation was here, the Red-robed Hub would feel fearless!
“Since we’ve encountered her, let’s catch her by the way.” The Red-robed Hub said calmly.
Just as his voice fell, two Paladins suddenly moved, capturing Lamias easily before she could react as an ordinary person.
Lamias didn’t even have the ability to resist… not only couldn’t resist; this former Battle Nun Ms. even sported a life-doubting look in her eyes now.
—Wasn’t it promised that as long as I stayed in this small town, things would be fine… Where is everyone?
—How did I get caught??
Until she was directly pressed back by two Paladins, Lamias suddenly snapped out of her daze, struggling futilely twice before her face went dark.
She felt she might have been deceived by that mysterious mansion’s owner!
However… looking at this group of imposing Paladins and even larger priest team, Lamias felt it was justified. Facing such a terrifying formation of the Holy Church, didn’t even Father Strala instantly become cowardly and push her out?
…
Ignoring the pain in Ms. nun’s heart at the moment, the Red-robed Hub of the Holy Church spoke again.
“Strala, the Holy Church tolerates you setting up a chapel here, yet we didn’t expect you to hide the heresy of the Black Religious Congregation here… It seems you’ve truly fallen.”
“Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like this!” Father Strala snorted coldly: “Believe it or not, I’ll write a complaint to the Pope to impeach you! I’ll tell you, my relationship with the Pope is really good! We’ve faced bullets together, squatted at windows together, and even shared sex education together! You say… is that iron-clad!”
The Red-robed Hub opened his mouth, before shaking his head with a darkened face after a long while.
He naturally didn’t know Father Strala, at most, they had some camaraderie based on religious records—this young Red-robed Hub wasn’t fond of this ancient Warden who left Shenwei Prison decades ago.
The Pope is far too indecisive, even tolerating someone as rebellious as Strala living leisurely on Britain’s lands.
The Pope truly is old, lacking the decisiveness he had in his youth… This time, following the Descending Angel Lord’s operation, after returning to the Holy Church, his prestige should increase significantly, right?
“Rumor has it that Strala is of terribly poor character, unmatched… It seems that’s true.” The Red-robed Hub flicked his nails at this moment, “I’m too lazy to argue with you, and I’m no Vasco who was your schoolmate… Today, you’ll obediently follow me back to the Holy City to stand trial.”
Speaking of Vasco, the Red-robed Hub suddenly felt puzzled, Paladin Vasco was clearly not here.
If not here, then not here, the Holy Church utilized Coordinates this time, using the Unhuman Domain’s special nature to cross the mainland rapidly, consuming much, thus capturing Strala alive is a must… As for Vasco not being here, it doesn’t affect the current operation.
Furthermore, Angel Hamaliel and Angel Quinn are Supervision at the moment… As a strong candidate for the papacy, how can there be any misstep in this operation?
The Red-robed Hub waved his hand; four Paladins moved directly, surrounding Father Strala… four fully-equipped, totally alert, imposing Paladins.
“Warden Strala, pardon me.” One of the Paladins said seriously at this moment: “Instructor once said… If you’re a Paladin, you’d be the top Paladin… So we juniors must go all out!”
Father Strala lowered his head, silent.
…
Outside the church, Angel Hamaliel and Angel Quinn stood with hands behind their back, their gaze fixed on the church courtyard, Angel Hamaliel suddenly spoke: “Before Jennifer died, she conveyed information that this Strala is suspected to be a God Defiler, in addition to raising a Void Primordial Demon… If the Void Primordial Demon appears later, you’ll suppress Strala, while I’ll handle the Void Primordial Demon.”
Angel Quinn nodded solemnly.
With two wings… as a two-winged angel, when facing the Void Primordial Demon, there are significant disadvantages. Even powerful ones like Philes, Jennifer, who can match those third-stage angels among the four wings, still dare not touch the Void Primordial Demon rashly.
Only upon ascending to four wings… only a truly ranked four-winged angel can resist the Void Primordial Demon’s corrosive effect on angels like poison.
Compared to the Void Primordial Demon, Strala as a God Defiler poses much less danger… God defilers’ threat to Heaven primarily lies in the destruction of faith, not every God Defiler has the capacity to endanger Heaven.
God Defilers can be immune to attacks from divine power, but direct physical damage, God Defilers simply cannot resist.
Thinking of this, Angel Quinn raised a hand, and a silver long spear appeared… if dealing with a God Defiler, naturally, one cannot use weapons condensed from Holy Light.
With the spear in hand, Angel Quinn appears like a coiled spring, ready to explode with terrifying power at any moment.
…
Father Strala lowered his head, silent.
The four Paladins looked at each other… finally, a Paladin behind Father Strala moved forward, reaching out to forcefully press on Father Strala’s shoulder, intending to push him down.
“Wait!”
Just as this Paladin was about to exert force, Father Strala suddenly raised his head, his face heavy with concern.
They might have been overly tense; at the moment Father Strala raised his head, they all revealed their weapons… As for the Paladin who had placed a hand on Father Strala’s shoulder, he instinctively stepped back, then bent slightly, hand resting on his sword.
The tension was palpable.
“I forgot to hang up my clothes!” Father Strala suddenly slapped his forehead, then quickly said: “You just stand here, wait for me to finish hanging up my clothes, we’ll continue our chatter! Don’t go away, you’ve offended me, you can’t escape!”
“You—!”
The Paladin behind Father Strala glared at this moment, being scared into retreat by an opponent’s upward motion, if transmitted widely, would be a laughingstock in his career!
Angry inside, this Paladin launched an attack in anger, “Want to leave? It’s not that easy!”
The Paladin swung his sword in a slash, and Father Strala’s figure… was instantaneously ripped into two segments by this slash!
“Shadow?”
A horrifying sense of crisis surged from behind the Paladin who had struck, he swiftly turned around, only to be met with a rolling pin!
Boom—!
He only felt that the force from this rolling pin was like a speeding truck… The Paladin’s standard Glory Armor was forcefully dented by this rolling pin!
With one strike, he was knocked down!
The crowd was shocked but saw Father Strala directly leap onto the church’s rooftop… Who knows where he suddenly retrieved a big bag of flour, as he poured it down in an overwhelming shower!
The snow-white flour suddenly covered everyone, making the church folks look quite disheveled.
Couldn’t they dodge the flour?
Of course, they could!
The problem is, this stuff that they could clearly dodge, was now actually scattered over them!
That’s not all… the issue is Father Stretta, the former warden of Shenwei Prison, who crafted many legendary tales of the Holy Church decades ago, is using flour scattering as a trick?
“Garbage! It’s okay for dozens of you to come block me, but I’m not allowed to scatter flour?” Father Stretta now raised his nose, looking lovingly at the disheveled crowd below, “Did your moms never teach you how to fight street punks?”
“No… no more talking with him! Use violence and capture him alive!!!”
The Red-robed Hub has always cherished his image… he genuinely cared a lot about his image! Among the Holy Church high-ups, even the Pope, nine out of ten are Mediterranean baldies, while he still had a head full of lush hair, making him the appearance advocate of the church’s top team! How could his image be compromised in this place!!
Anger!
“Ah——!!!”
A rolling pin smashed directly onto the face of the Red-robed Hub, breaking several of his teeth.
“Darn it!” Father Stretta spit, “I’ve long told that old Pope, never promote guys with middle-parted hair, but he just wouldn’t listen… I hate middle-parted hair guys my whole life, it drives me crazy!”
“Protect his Excellency the Red-robed!”
Everyone was shocked, and the Paladins instantly surged forward, in the small church courtyard, strong beams of divine power exploded one after another.
But simultaneously, cries of pain also rang out in succession as Father Stretta wielded the rolling pin, hitting one as he saw one, knocking the Paladins to the point of having no fighting back.
In front of Father Stretta, the Paladins who already graduated from training camp seemed to return to their days in training camp… seemed to go back to the era when they hadn’t touched Power yet and were merely promising young people.
“How is he so strong?”
“The Holy Light Bomb had no effect at all?”
“This… is this the horror of Shenwei Prison’s Iron Fist suppression? My god…”
Watching one Paladin after another being knocked dizzy, unable to get up, Lamias couldn’t help but widen her eyes… when did Paladins become so weak?
But… but facing the overwhelmingly strong Father Stretta, maybe—maybe she could take advantage of the chaos to leave!
…
“Sure enough, it’s a God Defiler.”
From afar, Angel Hamaliel furrowed his brows, then coldly snorted, “Quinn, you take care of this God Defiler… the Sub-world Sacred Church here seems indeed incompetent, this batch of Paladins barely ranks mid-level among many Sub-world Sacred Churches!”
After all, Heaven seldom manages places like this Sub-world… Angel Quinn shook its head; according to 003 Sub-world Sacred Church’s records, the last angel visit was already centuries ago.
This is unlike certain key-managed Sub-worlds, where angel descent is commonplace.
Shaking its head, the wings of light behind Angel Quinn opened directly, and its body floated up in an instant, Angel Quinn then rushed to the sky… it should have been like this.
However, Angel Quinn suddenly felt a great force violently pulling at its legs, dragging it fiercely back to the ground! In shock, looking at its leg, it found several strands of shadow have unknowingly wrapped around its leg… Shadows like rope were now curling towards its upper body!
In the shock, Angel Quinn directly erupted divine power.
Unexpectedly, the divine power had barely erupted but was crazily absorbed by these shadows like a deflating balloon!
“Lord Hamaliel, save me—!”
In a split second, Angel Quinn rushed out of its descending vessel, with the light orb containing its origin shooting from the vessel’s chest towards Angel Hamaliel!
But in the next moment, this orb of origin was directly devoured by a shadow emerging from the ground!
Angel Hamaliel was taken aback, could no longer care for the church courtyard’s matters — because its legs, too, had already been silently wrapped by several strands of shadow!
Power, crazily draining away…
“Why did only two angels come… wasn’t it said, there should be three Descending Angels.”
A man dressed in a black suit, wearing a high top hat, now came slowly holding a black cat in his arms… those shadows that devoured Angel Quinn and also wrapped Angel Hamaliel extended from the shadow of this suited man.
“Are you the one who killed Philes and severely injured Jennifer?!” Angel Hamaliel was shocked, angry, terrified!
“Jennifer?” The suited man paused, “That’s the name of the angel who went back to report, I guess… but her name has nothing to do with me. It’s you, your power is much stronger compared to them. It’s a pity counting you all, it still doesn’t seem enough…”
“Natural law… again it’s the power of natural law!” Angel Hamaliel felt the dreadful aura coming from those shadows, as an angel, the bit of light in its heart seemed instantly extinguished, despair nearly brought it to collapse… even its origin was now crazily draining!
What’s happening to this world!! Why is it so dangerous!!
“I will not perish here!”
Angel Hamaliel roared in anger, at this moment, it actually forged ahead courageously by severing attachments, directly abandoning the descending vessel, as the orb of origin instantly detached, shooting toward the church courtyard!
It planned to temporarily possess one of the Holy Church’s members… even if unable to exert a tenth of its power, it’s better than being directly devoured by the shadow.
The suited man shook his head… he chuckled as he lowered his head, patted the head of the black cat in his arms, which endearingly meowed before leaping from the suited man’s embrace, chasing after the origin light orb of Angel Hamaliel.
…
Now, setting seven Paladins aside, knocking their heads as if whacking moles, Father Stretta suddenly sensed something, swinging the rolling pin in hand vigorously.
Yet the rolling pin seemed to swing just into the air, as if it hit something, yet as if it hit nothing at all.
Father Stretta frowned, then disregarding it, continued swinging the fear and authority-bringing rolling pin at the Paladins, “Daring to yap in front of me! I hate people yapping when fighting the most!”
…
Lazily napping in the courtyard’s corner, Atang suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them, feeling as if something delicious was flying towards him.
Thus Atang directly opened his mouth… something flew into his mouth.
It truly was something delicious.
Atang let out a full-burping… and then a black cat, standing on its two feet with wide eyes and mouth agape appeared before Atang.
“This angel died so unfairly?”
The black cat could actually speak human language!
