I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 649 Everyone's a Traitor!

Washington,
"Hey, what do you mean by this?"

Standing in front of the White House, KYG, holding a live-streaming device, questioned with a displeased expression.

"At a time like this, instead of letting that 'master' step in to stabilize the situation, they're even turning me away?"

As a self-proclaimed "King of News," when has KYG ever been turned away? And with such big news, he can't even do a live broadcast? This is simply intolerable!
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm just a security guard."

However, the Secret Service agents blocking the way remained expressionless. After all, they were all wearing black suits and sunglasses, and they didn't budge even when the whole world was watching and criticizing them.

?

"Oh, you think you can stop me?"

The next moment, KYG's voice rang out behind these super agents.

"Acting according to the rules during the interview is me giving you face."

With his speed, apart from places where extraordinary experts are stationed, where in the world can't he go?
'Idiots, we've been tricked!'

Just as KYG was about to storm the White House, the voice of 'Gui Gui' came through the earpiece.

'Luigi isn't here at all. A magnificent phenomenon of divine light erupted in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.'

Everyone in Rio Rancho was evacuated, but many homes did not turn off their surveillance equipment: Gui Gui, the 'Network God,' immediately noticed the situation there.

? !
Upon hearing this news, KYG's expression changed.

"I'm coming right now—"

Before he finished speaking, he had already sped off at supersonic speed!
In theory, supersonic movement alone would create a sonic boom that could kill people. However, KYG is enveloped in a strange spiritual power that not only prevents him from creating a sonic boom, but also allows him to absorb air resistance and convert it into power, causing his linear speed to increase continuously.

brush--------

The KYG, its speed constantly increasing, streaked across the Washington night sky, heading west.

Regardless of why Luigi wasn't in Washington but in New Mexico, a state that was once on the front lines, KYG had a feeling that there must be big news there!

The most crucial question now is whether he can catch up.

Rio Rancho
"Such a strong spiritual power!"

Princess Charlotte looked up at the magnificent cross in the sky and the buildings and creatures on the ground that were constantly turning into 'holy' crystals, her little face full of solemnity.

This force,

It has already surpassed 'Ie', whom I fought before!
Of course, back then, 'Ijiang' had just entered the Dragon level and was still a mediocre character.

Is Mr. Luigi preparing to raise the 'throne of gods'? Then why did he invite them here?
"What are you doing?"

Xiao Ye, standing next to him, couldn't help but complain.

However, he wasn't criticizing Luigi's promotion, but rather the scene that was about to unfold.

"Oh God!"

Please forgive me—

"I'd do anything for you!"

Just as the church exploded and 'Luigi,' radiating a holy and icy aura, floated up, the disciples present—Odro, Secus, Lubergen, Unos, and Sauron—all rushed forward, simultaneously drawing their daggers and stabbing at Luigi, or rather, the being who called himself 'Yahweh.'

*Pfft!* ×5
The sound of a dagger piercing flesh rang out.

???

This sudden turn of events caused Princess Charlotte to stumble, almost losing her grip on the holy sword 'Durandall'.

Audero, his eyes bloodshot and his hair and beard bristling; Sekus, his face filled with grief and guilt; Lubergon, his eyes brimming with regret and tears streaming down his face; Unos, his face expressionless; and Soren, his teeth clenched, all five of them rushed forward at the same time, plunging their daggers into the bodies of their respective 'lords'.

At the same time, his gaze swept over the others, his grief and indignation mixed with surprise.

You too.
"So they were all traitors after all?"

Princess Charlotte was completely speechless. The truth was that everyone was a 'Judas'. No, wait!

"Your Excellency, it is said that you gained the ability to see the future at the cost of losing your eyesight?"

Why wasn't it stopped? Was it too late?

"Because it's not necessary,"

Xiao's 'first of first' indeed foresaw this scene, so Xiao has guessed the truth: the current 'Luigi' is a Dragon-level, how could he be easily ambushed or even killed by five Tiger-level?
It seems that he really did arrange all of this.

In Xiao's mind, Luigi had set an ambush and killed Manolos: he was certainly a good man, but definitely not a pedantic fool.

"I have seen how great the wickedness of mankind is on earth; every thought of their minds is evil all the time."

Despite being attacked simultaneously by five extraordinary individuals, the man who called himself 'Yahweh' remained expressionless and simply spoke calmly.

Light,

Rays of light radiated from Yahweh's body;

These rays of light appear gentle and holy, shining upon people and instantly filling them with boundless spiritual power, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility to their hearts. However, if one resists this radiance, one will immediately be met with an inviolable and unyielding crushing force!

The term 'Yahweh' is the name given in the Old Testament to the Creator, the Supreme Ruler, and the One God.

He is the sole creator of the universe, recognized by God, Eastern Orthodoxy, Christianity, Puritanism, and other religions.

If we only consider the number of believers, all other religions combined are no match for Yahweh—his domineering nature is evident.

"what!!"

“Quickly retreat——”

Amid cries of pain and screams, Audero, Sekus, and the others were sent flying backward, their bodies 'burning' with platinum light; they all crashed to the ground, rolling around in a sorry state: this was because Luigi had already bestowed various 'blessings' upon them.

Clang,

"It's our turn."

Drawing the 'decapitation sword' from his back, Xiao walked toward the 'Yahweh' floating in the sky.

?

"Your Excellency, what's going on?"

The eldest princess of England also pulled out 'Durantall' and asked in confusion.

She had neither the filial piety of "first before first" nor the sense of terror, nor had she ever been in contact with Luigi, so naturally she couldn't guess the "truth".

“I will wipe out from the earth all the man I have made, and all the beasts, and all the creeping things and the birds of the air, because I regret that I made them.”

Despite being stabbed five times, 'Yawei' spoke to himself, while simultaneously spreading his hands: the light in the night sky continued to spread, starting from Rio Rancho and spreading throughout the entire state of New Mexico! Under this light, birds and beasts all turned into holy crystals, seemingly still flying and running, but in reality, they were already 'dead'.

It was assimilated into a crystalline form!

This is the destruction of the world, Yahweh's destruction of the world, perfectly reasonable.

“It’s very simple. Luigi has now been replaced by ‘Yahweh,’ and our job is—”

With a sweep of his 'decapitation sword,' boundless darkness emanated from Xiao's body in the next instant: even the 'holy light' that illuminated the world was engulfed by the darkness.

Because this darkness also comes from the power of the 'god': the divine weapon that was once Susanoo's, one of the 'dowries' that was stolen by his unfilial daughter and given to Ōkuninushi, which obscured the eyes of Amatsukami: Amanuma Mochizuki!

However, Xiao's power is only at the Demon level.
So the darkness didn't completely obscure everything; it just made the platinum-gold world appear gray.

brush------

The next moment, a greatsword crackling with black lightning slashed head-on at 'Yahweh'. "Stop His destruction of the world!"

"Again?"

Qiong Mei, who was watching the 'live stream' with great interest, raised an eyebrow;
Because Takashi used 'Amanuma Mochizuki', the mirror in front of him became blurry.

"It's just a destined 'fall,' what's so interesting about it?"

You, who was flipping through the documents in her hand, didn't even look up.

After all, he is the principal of the Spellcasting Academy and the actual controller of this 'Academy City', so he has a lot of documents to review every day.

Ultimately, it was up to him to make the final decision: even if it was merely a formality, both Yu and the island nation's government tacitly agreed to maintain it.

?

"Does my brother mean that Luigi arranged all of this?"

Qiongmei thought for a moment, what was the point of doing this?

To help humanity eliminate a hidden danger?
The so-called 'hidden danger' is, of course, Luigi himself!

His power was already prone to spiraling out of control, and after absorbing the power of 'Manolos' and the faith of countless people, he was practically a mobile nuclear bomb. No, compared to him, a nuclear bomb wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his shoes.

That's right, America's biggest crisis right now is 'Luigi'.

It must be removed!

"Not only that,"

Yu put down the documents in her hand and explained to Qiong Mei.

"Given his personality, he most likely still wants to preserve humanity's ability to protect itself. However..."

Whether or not they can receive this 'gift' depends on the abilities of the extraordinary individuals present.

"Storm, Thunder!!"

Having already gone all out, Audero and the others no longer held back, unleashing their power unrestrained, completely disregarding the risk of losing control—however, it was precisely this reckless mentality that suppressed the 'Kreece-type' contamination within them.

As Audero raised his hands, a howling wind swept across one hand and lightning crackled in the other.

"Die! Die, all of you!!"

Amidst a frenzied roar, Odro, his hair flying wildly, waved his hands, and a small, howling tornado, carrying leaping lightning, hurtled toward 'Yahweh' in the sky.

That's right, he had previously received the Lord's command from 'Taylor': kill him immediately if he claimed to be 'Yahweh'!

It now appears that the other four also received the same secret order.

The truth is there were no traitors!

No, it should be said that under the command of the Lord, all five of them willingly became Judas.

Facing the oncoming thunder and storm, 'Yawei,' who still had five daggers stuck in his body, merely glanced at them indifferently.

His holy light reacted automatically, and beams of platinum light fell straight down from the sky! From each beam of light, an 'angel of authority' clad in platinum armor and wielding a spear, sword, and scepter flew out: as soon as these angels appeared, they immediately shouted the holy name and rushed towards the thunderstorm.

"Holy! Holy! Holy!"

"Lord of hosts, you will break them with your iron rod; you will smash them like a potter's vessel!"

These 'Priests' who call upon the name of Yahweh are not only targeting Odro, but also include Sycus, Luberon, Unos, and Sauron.

In an instant, flames, spells, blessings, and holy war songs rose and fell; facing these 'Prism Angels' who were only ordinary Tiger-level but numerous, the five were immediately surrounded and attacked. Let alone completing the mission of 'killing Yahweh,' they even had difficulty protecting themselves.

The real main force is still Xiao, who wields the 'Decapitation Sword', and Princess Charlotte, who wields the 'Durantell'.

"What an irony—"

The holy sword in her hand shone brightly into the sky, and Princess Charlotte couldn't help but complain.

She never imagined that one day she would fight against 'Yahweh'. No, what she was seeing was at most a 'Holy Spirit', not the real Yahweh.

In monotheism, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are a triune entity. Simply put, the Father is the supreme God who created and sustains all things; the Son is the 'Lord' who walks among men and redeems humanity; and the Holy Spirit is the 'Spirit' that operates in the world and in the hearts of believers.

The 'Yahweh' before us is neither the supreme god who created the world, nor Luigi who saved humanity, but the 'god' in the hearts of billions!
Such an existence is truly supreme, truly capable of 'destroying the world' at the slightest provocation.

Because this is how people perceive 'God'.

Faith can even distort the existence of 'God'.

"Destroy evil!"

With a swipe of his holy sword, a magnificent pillar of light cleaved the platinum sky, crushing down upon 'Yahweh'.

The fact that the holy sword 'Durandal' in his hand can exert its power proves that the one in the sky is not the real one.

Faced with this sword, 'Yawei' neither dodged nor evaded;
A huge door appeared out of nowhere.

Above the door were intricately carved heavenly runes; inside, a castle garden could be seen, like a radiant celestial realm, inhabited by countless elegant, holy, and mysterious little angels.

Princess Charlotte's "Exorcising Slash" landed on the door, but it disappeared into the ripples as if it had been swallowed up by the door.

Gates of Heaven!

The next second, the door slowly opened.

"Hahaha, I'm free—!!"

Amidst joyful laughter, a colossal entity 'squeezed' out from the doorway.

This was a colossal creature engulfed in flames, its lower body resembling that of a giant elephant or a rhinoceros: it had thick hooves and a crocodile-like tail.

The upper body, however, is that of a powerful demon—with a pair of tattered bat wings behind him and two curved horns on his head. This standard image of a Western demon is completely at odds with the bright and holy aura of the 'Gateway to Heaven'.

"Ok?"

On the other side, Xiao, who was wielding a sword and slaying a large number of 'Angels of Power', exclaimed in surprise.
Isn't this the 'Manolos' that he killed with a headshot? How come... no, it's a form made of spiritual energy, resembling an 'evil spirit'.

"Huh? It's you—"

Manolos, who had just escaped his predicament, glanced around and saw Xiao. His eyes immediately blazed with fury.

Before the 'Fire Lord' could take his revenge, 'Yahweh', floating behind the 'Gates of Heaven,' had already pointed at Mannoroth:
"I say, all evil should be ruthlessly purified, and all justice should be mercifully redeemed. Darkness should fall, and light should rise!"

"ah----!!!"

As 'Yahweh' pointed a finger, Manolos immediately screamed in agony.

Suddenly, the flames on his body turned platinum, his hardened skin transformed into magnificent plate armor, and elegant feather wings sprouted continuously from the bat wings behind him. In contrast, a demonic black shadow was stripped from Manolos's body, howling in despair as it plummeted downwards, only to quickly vanish into nothingness during its descent.

Yin and Yang are separated!

“I am Mannoroth, the Archangel,”

A holy halo appeared above his head, and the flames that had changed his aura were not quite right. It was 'Excalibur' Mannoroth who reached out and grabbed a double-headed holy spear.

"It is the spear of God, and also the shield of God. Heretic, repent!!"

The righteous and awe-inspiring 'Manolos' before them had completely overwhelmed Xiao Du.

With a single finger, the Flame Lord's identity, perception, and personality were completely distorted.
"Yahweh's methods are indeed domineering."
