Chapter 658: Heresy and Domination

"Give up, heretics!"

Around, on a tall building, a giant tree believer who had transformed into a tree demon waved his hand to release vines, entangled Nicole, and let out a low roar.

Elena's face changed, and she hurried forward to stop it.

However, three giant tree believers appeared around her, and the entangled branches and vines formed a sea of ​​trees prison.

"Great Weeping Goddess, have you abandoned us too?"

Elena's heart trembled. Even if she was a fanatic, she would be shaken a little in the face of this almost certain death. Her daughter Nicole had been caught by the tree demon and was about to be strangled to death.

However, at this moment.

A red beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, shining on Elena, and a blood-red light flashed in her eyes, like two gems.

The next moment, Elena's body was full of powerful divine power.

In an instant, the surrounding sea of ​​trees prisons turned into red ashes, and the giant tree believers also wailed.

"This is..." Yara's pupils shrank.

She felt an unprecedented terrifying power from Elena, as if a god had descended to the earth, making people want to kneel down and surrender.

The giant tree believers around her also looked surprised.

Everyone could feel the power emanating from Elena. The breath from the gods immediately made the giant tree believers lose their will to resist and trembled and stopped moving.

"My name is Heraya!"

Elena made a cold voice, and her scarlet eyes looked at the giant tree bishop in the distance, jumping like a flame.

"Ah!!!"

The next moment, the giant tree bishop, who was the most powerful but had not yet used his full strength, ignited a red flame on his body and began to spread continuously. In a moment, the whole person was swallowed up by the strange flame.

The giant tree believers around were terrified.

Lighthouse Town has long been ruled by the Giant Tree Church, so every resident here is considered a giant tree believer, but the degree of faith is different, divided into fanatics, shallow believers and the like.

However, at this moment.

Feeling the powerful divine power emanating from Elena, all the giant tree believers were shaken in their hearts. They uncontrollably released the tree demon incarnation and knelt on the ground in submission.

"Foolish and ignorant mortals."

Heraya looked around, with a sneer in her eyes. The most powerful believer of the Giant Tree Church in Lighthouse Town was only a first-order life form, as humble as an ant in front of the true God.

Following Enzo's order, Heraya came to Lighthouse Town.

She felt the sacrifice of the Night Cultists, but did not appear at the first time. Instead, she descended on Elena as a savior when the Night Cultists were in despair.

Heraya looked around.

"What a pity..."

She murmured to herself. The Giant Tree Cultists in Lighthouse Town were not all fanatics. If they wanted to change their beliefs, it was not impossible.

However, Heraya would not do that.

The task that Enzo gave her was to provoke a full-scale war between the Giant Tree Church and the Dark Night Church, so as to bring out the Green Tree God Geweng. Only by slaughtering the Giant Tree believers in Lighthouse Town could the influence of this incident be expanded.

A trace of cold light gradually appeared in Helaya's eyes.

Then, she slowly opened her arms, and the power from the gods spread out at this moment. The Giant Tree believers around her screamed and turned into ashes after being enveloped by the divine power.

In a moment, the street was dead silent.

At least hundreds of Giant Tree believers were all killed by Helaya. The Dark Night believers felt the power of Helaya and shouted fanatically.

"It is the Weeping Goddess who has arrived!"

"Great Weeping Goddess, please accept my humble service."

"The long night is coming, long live the goddess!"

The Dark Night believers around have already felt the power of Helaya. Although the Dark Night Church mainly believes in the Dark Night Goddess Lucy, they also express respect for the Weeping Goddess Helaya.

In the eyes of the Night Cultists, Heraya is the servant of the Night Goddess.

There is a difference in status between the two gods, but for the Night Cultists, both are respected beliefs.

"The long night is coming, and only believers can live forever."

Looking at the Night Cultists kneeling and surrendering around, Heraya spoke softly, "The heretics of the Giant Tree Church have been solved by me. From now on, this city will become the place ruled by the Night Church."

"Spread the faith of the Night as soon as possible!"

"You are all the most loyal believers of the goddess. The sufferings in the world are all tempering for you. Only by sticking to your beliefs can you reach the eternal shore."

Heraya's voice was ethereal and disappeared.

Then, the redness in Elena's eyes faded, and she also collapsed to the ground. Nicole, who had just escaped from the hands of the Giant Tree Cultists, hurried forward to support her.

"Great Weeping Goddess, have you finally answered my prayers?"

Elena's face was pale, and she trembled and muttered to herself. Although her body was controlled by the Weeping Goddess Helaya, Elena was clearly aware of everything.

As a fanatical believer, Elena felt very honored and even excited that the goddess used her body.

Beside her, Nicole's face also showed a trace of excitement.

Although they had long believed in the Weeping Goddess Helaya, this was the first time they felt the glory of the goddess so close.

"Ahem!"

At this time, the elderly Bishop of the Night, with the support of the believers, slowly stood up, with a hint of excitement on his face.

Everything that just happened was seen by him.

The Church of the Giant Tree almost wiped them out, but the weeping goddess Helaya appeared in time to relieve the crisis.

"The great goddess will indeed never abandon her followers!"

The Bishop of the Night murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement. Although his sacrifice to the Night Goddess failed to receive a response, the arrival of the Weeping Goddess in person gave him great encouragement.

The three goddesses all believe in the Church of the Night.

The arrival of the weeping goddess Heraya means that the goddess has not abandoned her believers. This is undoubtedly an encouragement to the Church of Night, which has people's hearts wandering.

At this moment, the giant tree cultists were wiped out by the goddess.

Only the shallow believers are still alive, but they have not mastered the extraordinary power. Therefore, this lighthouse town has fallen under the control of the Church of the Night, and the next step is to spread the faith.

"Master Bishop, what should we do now?"

At this time, Yara also walked slowly over. Her face was extremely pale, a little overdrawn by the fighting force just now, but her eyes were shining. Apparently, the arrival of the Weeping Goddess also made her feel refreshed.

"Send a message to Kaiyuan City!"

The Bishop of the Night waved his hand and said, "Let King Kaiyuan send troops to prepare to take over Beacon City. At the same time, he is gathering some believers so that the heretics in Beacon Town will also listen to the Church of the Night Goddess."

The battle of faith has been going on for a long time.

Both parties have a certain understanding that it is difficult for fanatical believers to change their beliefs, but light believers are still worth saving. As long as the residents of Beacon Town can feel the brilliance and power of the goddess of the night, they can most likely be purified.

Therefore, for the Church of Dark Night.

When encountering casual believers of the Giant Tree Church, they will try to change their beliefs, but if they are fanatical believers, they will use powerful means to kill them.

Although fanatics are not completely incapable of changing their beliefs.

But for the Church of Dark Night, those heretics whose souls have already fallen have no need to be saved at all.

And this is just the attitude of the Church of the Night.

As for the Church of the Giant Tree, their methods are even more extreme. They treat fanatics and shallow believers alike. Anyone caught by the Church of the Giant Tree will be treated as a sacrifice to Gion, the God of Green Trees.

Following the orders of the Night Bishop, the believers also began to take action.

After the previous battle, almost all the top leaders of the Giant Tree Cult in Beacon City had been wiped out. Therefore, the Church of the Night did not encounter too fierce resistance in the process of controlling Beacon Town.

The night passed quickly.

In the direction of Kaiyuan City, soldiers belonging to the new king Dylan have arrived in Lighthouse City. With the help of the Church of the Night, they quickly took control of the city and planted the new king's flag on the city wall.

Early in the morning, in the central square of Beacon City.

Thousands of people were watching, and the Night Cultists and soldiers tried their best to maintain order in the square. The Bishop stood at the front, preaching the belief of the Night Goddess to the residents of Lighthouse City.

"The long night is coming, but faith endures."

"This world is about to face a catastrophic catastrophe. Only by believing in the great goddess of the night can we be protected!"

The Night Bishop chants the creed of the Church.

Then, he waved his hand, and a group of believers belonging to the Giant Tree Church were escorted to the execution platform by the soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the Night Bishop lit the torch.

Fear appeared on the faces of the believers of the Giant Tree Church. As believers of Gwen, the God of Green Trees, what they feared most was flames. After transforming into the tree demon form, they were not afraid of physical damage, but flames were their nemesis.

"The goddess of the night is the protector of the world!"

"And they have become the minions of the evil god. The only fate for heretics is to be burned to death!"

The Bishop of the Night looked serious, his eyes flashing with a cold luster.

Then, he lit the fire, and the scorching flames swallowed up all the Giant Tree believers amidst a burst of mournful wails. A trace of unbearability appeared on the faces of the onlookers, because not long ago, this was the base of the Giant Tree Church.

Most of the residents of Beacon City have accepted the faith spread of the Giant Tree Church.

The Bishop of the Night knows this very well, so he carries out public executions. Only by making the ignorant people feel fear can they maintain awe of the goddess of the night and gradually devote their loyal faith to the goddess.

Not long after, the public execution ended.

Lighthouse City was officially ruled by the Church of the Night. Since then, three of the seven cities in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan have been occupied by the Church of the Night. The power of the new king Dylan and Prime Minister Edgar began to balance.

And on the tallest building in Beacon City.

Enzo looked at everything in the square with a thoughtful expression on his face. Ignorant civilians were the easiest to be deceived. Unless they became fanatical believers, their beliefs might change at any moment.

This kind of thing was like this in the age of gods.

In the First Era, when the gods ruled the world, the battle of faith was extremely cruel. Almost everyone had received the spread of faith since birth, and parents would introduce the gods they served to their children.

In most cases, a family's beliefs are the same.

However, in the chaotic First Era, it was normal for gods to control mortals to fight in order to compete for faith. Therefore, some shallow believers were conquered and may change their beliefs.

Some humans even believe in multiple gods.

Although the gods above all hope that believers remain absolutely loyal, they cannot stop shallow believers from serving other gods. Therefore, as long as the god a believer serves is not an enemy, everyone will let it go.

Just like the current Church of the Night.

Although the main belief is the goddess of the night, Lucyles, some people worship the giant spider god or the crying goddess more, such as Yara or Elena. Although they also believe in the goddess of the night, Lucyles, they are not fanatics of Lucyles, but they firmly believe in the giant spider god and the crying goddess.

Enzo was looking down.

At this time, Helaya suddenly appeared behind him, knelt on one knee and said, "Master, the things you told me to do have been completed."

Enzo did not turn around, but nodded lightly.

If you want to bring out the green tree god Geweng, you must spend some thought. Provoking a war of faith is only the first step. Under his own order, Helaya has gone to the palace of the Kingdom of Kaiyuan to give the oracle to the new king Dylan.

Starting tomorrow, the war will officially begin.

However, this is a war between mortals. In order to avoid alerting the Green Tree God Geweng, Enzo and Heraja will not personally take part in the battle. At most, they will use their extraordinary abilities to give some guidance to the new king Dylan.

If Dylan can defeat Prime Minister Edgar, the entire Kaiyuan Kingdom will become the ruling place of the Church of the Night, and the faith of the Giant Tree Church will be ruthlessly suppressed and expelled.

After that, the Kaiyuan Kingdom will expand comprehensively.

According to Enzo's plan, within three months, the unification of the island of the Cold Plain will be completed, and after all the believers of the Giant Tree Church are expelled, it should be enough to attract the attention of the Green Tree God Geweng.

The Abandoned Land is divided into nine land islands.

Among them, the land island where the Cold Plain is located has a population of more than five million, which is already a quarter of the total population of the Abandoned Land. Now there are seven countries coexisting, and at least two hundred people have accepted the faith of the Green Tree God Geweng.

However, most of them are shallow believers.

Only as time goes by, these shallow believers will become fanatics with firm faith, and contribute more faith to the Green Tree God Ge Weng to help him recover his strength.

If the land island where the Ice Plain is located is transformed into the base of the Church of the Night, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to the Green Tree God Ge Weng. In order to recover his strength as soon as possible, the other party will inevitably take some actions.

As long as the Green Tree God dares to show up, Enzo can take him down in one fell swoop.
