Chapter 589: Collapse of Faith

"Is this the magic of the church priests..." Olina sighed, "This is my first time seeing it."

In terms of momentum alone, "the presence of God" completely overwhelmed the evil demons below. For a moment, even the rotation speed of the vortex slowed down, and the rainstorm also showed signs of receding.

Now everyone in the Azure Castle looked up at the divine trial. The appearance of the trial team can be said to have greatly soothed the anxiety in people's hearts. Many people have begun to shout and cheer, looking forward to the moment when the evil demons are swallowed by the scorching sun.

Hera's figure raised the long sword in her hand.

The top of the sword light is the sun.

Nothing can block the brilliance of the sun, not the storm, not the night, and naturally not the evil demons.

But at this moment, the twin statues that had been bowing their heads in prayer suddenly opened their eyes!

It opened its hands to the gods, as if welcoming its protector. The expression on its face was not only not afraid, but full of piety and admiration.

Xia Fan suddenly felt that something was wrong!

That was not the reaction of the evil spirits when facing the enemy.

——It was clearly waiting for the arrival of the gods!

A beam of light suddenly penetrated the vortex and fell straight on the twin statues.

But the latter did not twist and struggle in the light until it was destroyed as everyone expected.

It was happy with it.

"Oh no!" As a caster of divine magic, Takshis was more sensitive to the problem than others. She found that her connection with Hera had been broken. No matter how she urged her magic, the sword could not be cut down.

What was even more incredible was that the gods seemed to be merging with the evil demons.

From the performance of the magic, the beam of light that pierced the clouds was called "God's Grace", which was also one of the divine arts that the Son of the Holy Spirit was best at. When a successful divine grace was performed, the believers would be blessed by the gods and their abilities would be greatly improved.

But she could never imagine that the gift of the god Hera would be bestowed on an evil demon!

The sunlight became dimmer and dimmer.

The sun seemed to be swallowed by the dark clouds again, and the figure of the gods became vague.

Only the Son of God seemed to be more and more alive. There was a spirit in his eyes, and his body was no longer monotonous gray. So far, apart from the extremely oppressive sense of power, it can be said that there was no feature on him that could be linked to the evil demon. For a moment, Taksis felt that she was facing another god.

Suddenly, the evil demon looked at the dragons in the air.

It stretched out a hand and reached Taksis, with contempt in its eyes.

Suddenly, the wind blew violently, and the rainstorm came more quickly than before. Even the elite dragon descendants who had been through many battles could not withstand the storms that were stronger than waves. The protective formation they maintained was finally broken, and Taksis was the first to be swept away!

The people of Azure Castle were in an uproar!

They found that the gods not only did not defeat the evil demon, but made the evil demon stronger, and beat the trial team to pieces.

And after absorbing the "divine power", the evil demon seemed to finally have enough energy to deal with the people who were fleeing.

The double-body statue flapped its wings, shaking off dozens of feathers - and these feathers shot to the ground like arrows, and turned into new evil demons after landing!

And these monsters are very consistent with people's impression of evil things.

They are either like multi-legged beasts or strange human-shaped phantoms, full of hatred for all living creatures. The summoned evil demons scattered and pounced on the crowd, immediately stirring up a bloody storm!

But this is not over yet.

The double-body statue retracted its lotus-like arms, hugged it in front of its chest, and began to cast new spells.

Soon, several black cracks appeared at its feet out of thin air.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, several huge demons rushed out of the cracks and joined the killing team - their target was those people who were lying on the roof to avoid disasters. The building collapsed under their impact, and the residents of the entire building fell into the waves.

The situation in Azure Castle took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant.

"Hahahahaha————" Philip laughed wildly in the well.

The magic he had studied for more than ten years had achieved the expected effect.

The so-called gods were nothing more than the power tools carefully crafted by the church.

No matter how easy it was to use, there would always be a day when it fell into the hands of others.

Now everyone will see that the gods they rely on are no different from the devil, and the spokesperson of the church, the Son of God, is the devil itself!

From this day on, the foundation of the church will be completely shaken.

His name and achievements will also be recorded in history forever!

...

"Cough... cough..." Taksis pushed away the broken brick walls and beams and struggled to crawl out of the ruins of a house.

Her right arm could no longer move, her sleeves were missing, and her exposed arm was bleeding profusely-it was obvious that she had a violent collision with the building during the involuntary fall. But there was nothing to complain about. Falling from a height of dozens of feet, being alive was already a good result.

By the way... Des Moines seemed to have landed not far away.

Until the last moment, the Guardian Knight tried to catch her like a falling leaf.

Takhisis stumbled across the street and found the Dragonborn lying on the ground.

He didn't look too badly injured, at most he was a little soaked by the heavy rain.

"Go gather all the lost team members, we haven't lost yet!" Taksis patted his head and shouted, "A storm can't defeat the Inquisition, everyone should be safe."

But this time, Desmoine did not respond immediately as usual.

He slowly changed back to human form, turned his head and looked at his boss, his eyes empty.

"Lord Yongyi, please tell me this is not true... Everything is an illusion of the enemy..."

"This is not an illusion, at least not in my opinion." Taksis shook her head after a moment of silence, "I don't know the specific reason, but the evil twin statues have indeed been protected by the gods. Now that I think about it, this is most likely the reason why the enemy deliberately targeted the Son of God's convoy."

"But shouldn't Hera protect the world?" Desmoine couldn't help shouting, "If it doesn't matter whether it is good or evil from the beginning, then what's the point of everything we do!?"

The pouring rain flowed down his face, like the tears of a guardian knight.

Taksis gritted her teeth bitterly.

She also felt betrayed by the gods, but that didn't mean that what the Inquisition had done in the past was meaningless.

They had destroyed many evil demons and saved thousands of lives.

They had tried many demon holders who trampled on the laws of the world, and these actions were deeply supported by the people.

Hera was undoubtedly just.

Just as the sun would always dispel darkness.

But she didn't know how to tell these things to the Guardian Knight.

Finally, she stood up alone, "I'm going to deal with the evil demon. If it drags on, the entire Azure Castle will be destroyed by it."

"My lord... we can't win." Desmoine murmured, "Even the gods don't stand on our side, how can you fight it?"

"So what?" Taksis faced the heavy rain and transformed into a dragon again, "In the face of any evil, the church has no choice but to surrender. Maybe one day we will be crushed by the enemy, but before that, I will do my best."

After saying that, she spread her damaged wings without looking back and flew into the cloudy sky.
