Chapter 646 Taking Care of Her (8K, 511 pages added)
boom!
Among the three, Jiang He burst forth, his entire body covered by the Great Heavenly Imperial Jiang King Armor, and his Speed ​​Power amplified him, making his figure as fast as a streak of light.

The ultimate speed and power merged, and the streak of light crashed straight into the Conquest Church. The unparalleled impact released caused the church's dome to explode with a deafening roar, like fireworks bursting into the sky. Countless fragments were scattered into the air, and the magnificent and epic spires collapsed one after another. Some church knights were reduced to mincemeat in a daze.

The conquering knights inside the cathedral immediately retaliated. Thousands of elite knights rushed out of the prayer room and, led by several knights of great achievements, fiercely clashed with the grand knights. Immortal-level and epic-level magic swept across the sky, instantly baptizing the nearby streets.

"My shield is a mountain..."

On the church altar, the tall and burly armored shieldman opened his eyes. He suddenly raised his shield, and his strength talent - Wrath of the Mountains and constitution talent - Unbreakable Oath were activated at the same time. Hero Armor Shield - Fortress shone with a powerful light. He stared intently ahead, and in an instant, the wall shattered into dust.

boom!
A streak of light swept in.

The pressure was indescribable, like a surging ocean.

The icy gaze seemed to cleave the heavens and earth. The burly man, known as the "Shield of Conquest," stared at the enemy's afterimage and then instinctively pushed out his shield. The Sacred Domain Battle Skill, Call of the Mountains, immediately erupted, and miniature phantoms of mountains appeared on the shield's surface.

"Mountains never yield!"

Boom!

The pitch-black spearhead pierced through the vacuum, its speed and power concentrated and unleashed at the tip. It was hard to imagine what kind of transcendent skill this was. The sharpness easily shattered the heavy shield, and the chaotic radiance shattered the sacred energy before piercing through the strong man's chest.

call!
The aftershocks, like a sword, severed the back of the church.

Blood gushed from the corner of the burly man's mouth, and an inexplicable force surged through his body. He knew very well that the next blow would be his demise, but the enemy did not make a move. Instead, he threw him backward.

"Rhine, what's going on?!"

The legion commander had just rushed into the church ruins when he saw a dark shadow hurtling towards him. He was startled and immediately threw a punch forward. Dried lava flowed from his fist. The Holy Domain Battle Technique - Ember Fist was filled with the explosive power of a volcanic eruption.

clang!
The burly man raised his arms, using the Perfect Parry technique to withstand the hasty punch from the front. He retreated more than ten meters. The moment the fist landed, his heart suddenly settled. The monster from before was just an isolated case. The attackers wouldn't have deployed several invincible Saints.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Can't you see someone behind you?"

"I couldn't stop him."

The legion commander was furious. Rhine must have discovered something to decide to advance, especially since the deputy judge had also disappeared.

……

The church's back garden.

The flames of war raged everywhere, shattering the tranquility of this place.

The man was dressed in casual clothes and looked to be quite old, with a "Hand of the King" badge on his chest.

Across from him, the young woman said gravely, “Prime Minister, I do not favor the Third Prince. I am very grateful that you came secretly to convey our stance, but the situation is unclear. Please leave as soon as possible. If the First Prince finds out, he may be displeased with you.”

The first prince currently holds great power, while the third prince has recently risen rapidly in power. The former is a follower of the Godfather Church, while the latter is a follower of the Ten Gods Church. They are irreconcilable enemies in their struggle for the right of succession.

In the past two weeks, the emperor has been keen to support the third prince, so the prime minister has taken the initiative to act as a mouthpiece between the third prince and the Medici family, just like his job—a middleman between the royal family and the nobility, between the Church of God and the Church of Ten Gods. However, the regent first prince does not see it that way.

“Miss Vilay,” the Prime Minister said earnestly, “your father, Duke Vigrides, has promised that this matter will not be changed unless you are willing to betray the family. The Medici family has always led the conquest of the Church, and the alliance between the Ten Gods Church and the Third Prince is also inevitable. The wedding is in six months.”

"Are you willing to betray your family?"

Ville de' Medici fell silent. In the more than ten years since her reincarnation, she had been pampered. The Duke and Duchess of Vigrid, her brothers and sisters all treated her like family, and she had long regarded herself as a member of the family.

“It seems you already have the answer.” The Prime Minister sighed. “A born knight, and now a Saint-level powerhouse who wields the power of the moon, if he hadn’t been born into the Medici family, he could have controlled his own destiny no matter what. But since you’ve enjoyed the favor, you have to fulfill your obligations.”

A Holy Knight belonging to the King's Sword quickly approached, looking slightly anxious, and said, "Prime Minister, Miss Violet, it's not safe here. Please leave as soon as possible."

The Prime Minister exclaimed in surprise, "The mighty Shield of Conquest couldn't even hold out for a quarter of an hour?"

One of the most outstanding warriors in the Holy Land who conquered the Church, ranked among the top ten cardinals, he once withstood an all-out attack from three equally powerful figures for an hour, ultimately escaping unscathed.

The Holy Knight said with difficulty, "It's very likely not a quarter of an hour, but a moment."

"what!"

call!
A streak of light rushed into the back garden.

The Holy Knight's expression changed drastically. In the instant he turned around, two attribute talents were activated, and the Guardian Spirit of Great Achievement manifested. He unleashed a Holy Domain combat technique with the Hero's Armed Sword. Despite the defeat of the Shield of Conquest, he did not let his guard down in the slightest.

A Saint-level sword strike, unleashing its full power without reservation.

The entire garden was destroyed by the reflected sword light.

But when the blade struck the black armor, a "crack" sound made the Holy Knight's face turn pale. He stared at the enemy with extreme resentment. He could accept dying in battle, but such a huge gap in strength was simply despairing.

boom!
The Black Sun Lance blasted the Holy Knight's head apart. When the Knight misjudged the situation and failed to break through the Knight's defenses with a powerful sword strike, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

Blood splattered onto the Prime Minister's face. The girl suddenly raised her magic wand, her long brown hair dancing wildly in the wind. But when she saw the newcomer's face, she froze on the spot.

"Your Excellency Rhine, may I ask who is trying to assassinate the Prime Minister of the Empire?" the Prime Minister asked calmly. There were countless people who wanted to kill him, but the most likely culprits were the other six members of the Imperial Council. To become Prime Minister, one had to first enter the Imperial Council; that was an ironclad rule.

"S-senpai!" The brown-haired girl was shocked and at a loss.

Long-forgotten memories began to resurface. Since the end of the redemption mission, Kamishiro Mirai had cleansed herself of the sins of the violators. In recognition of her meritorious service in seizing the End Base, Origin rewarded her with the fusion of Tsukuyomi and the fact that the player identity was in Kamishiro Mirai's body. She became the ultimate winner and was advancing towards the sub-legendary level without any effort.

Because they are not beings of faith, their strength will recover much more slowly. However, in less than ten years, the future of the Gods will be able to conquer the world of gods in place of Origin, as a sub-legendary being. This is a long-term undercover mission.

"Miss Violet, it seems you and Marquis Rhine are old acquaintances." The Prime Minister eased the oppressive atmosphere. In the instant the Holy Knight fell, he seemed to see the strongest Holy Domain reappear.

puff!

After a moment's thought, Jiang He struck and pierced the Prime Minister's heart. As the source blood was poured in, the Noble Assembly provided the White Duke with a powerful mysterious resistance, blocking the transformation from the progenitor.

In an instant, the spatial authority was activated.

The old swordsman suddenly appeared, and the power of the sword was released again, severing the connection between the noble assembly and the prime minister with a single strike. Beside the old swordsman, Si Ning was sitting on the ground enjoying lemon-flavored noodles. Realizing that she had left Augusta Castle, she couldn't help but scratch her cheek.

"What a strange night raid."

Jiang He said, "Use your abyssal logic disorder to control the Prime Minister. Later, I will use the time ring to restore his connection with the Noble Assembly. The Grand Scholar you entrusted is unreliable."

"Got it." Si Ning snapped her fingers.

Under the control of the source blood, the Prime Minister lost his consciousness. Si Ning, holding him captive, began to twist his mind. They captured the isolated Prime Minister as soon as they arrived in the capital. Lao Jiang was indeed very capable. "Senior," Kamishiro Mirai murmured. Although Violet was only using a homophone, after a long period of integration, she had already accepted the identity of a Medici family member. If the Prime Minister died, her presence here tonight would definitely cripple the family afterwards.

"The Prime Minister won't die," Jiang He casually promised.

He was merely reduced to a servant.

Inside the church, the Legion Commander and the Shield of Conquest were locked in a fierce battle.

A figure walked towards the front of the garden; it was the deputy presiding judge.

The man's hands were bound with iron chains, and his face looked rather grim. According to the Grand Secretary's plan, the Marquis of Rhine was the knife to kill the Prime Minister, and he was responsible for silencing him. Once the Prime Minister was dead, the position would be vacant. However, the situation would escalate to a critical point, and someone would need to step forward and take responsibility.

The problem is, this knife is too sharp.

They first defeated the Shield of Conquest, then slew the Holy Knight, yet they weren't even slightly injured, which was far from what they expected.

"It's not entirely hopeless."

call!
The enemy is close.

Facing the Marquis of Rhine directly, the Vice-Judge finally understood the powerlessness of the Shield of Conquest. This unsolvable speed was simply too fast, and the raging waves were filled with terrifying killing intent.

Swish!
The chains on the vice judge's arms shot out on their own, precisely binding the Black Sun Lance. The Hermes Shattered Blade Chain, a masterpiece forged by a near-master alchemist, possessed an incredibly powerful special attack force against weapons.

Click!

The Black Sun Lance shattered completely.

The shockwave from the explosion caused Jiang He to stagger several dozen steps to the side.

The deputy judge's brow relaxed. Although the enemy was extremely fast, once he lost that formidable killing power, the threat to him would be greatly reduced.

“Marquis of Rhine, you killed the Prime Minister, and I forgive your betrayal on behalf of the Grand Secretary,” said the Vice-Judge.

Jiang He did not answer, but simply waved his hand. In the next moment, hundreds of miniature black suns appeared, then melted into spears one by one, and finally fell down together.

"damn it!"

The deputy judge felt a chill run down his spine, his face filled with disbelief. Even he had to admit that the enemy had managed to produce such a large number of these high-quality spears simultaneously.

Whoosh whoosh!
The devouring force released by the Black Sun Lance was like countless chains binding the prey's movement. The spearhead shattered the hero's armor, annihilated the guardian spirit of the great cause, and pierced through the vice judge's throat, heart, abdomen, and limbs, turning him into a hedgehog.

"It's all settled." Si Ning brought over the Prime Minister, whose face was full of piety. Just like a child's love for his father, a subject's reverence for his king, or a believer's fanaticism for his god, Jiang He was a similar figure in the Prime Minister's eyes at this moment, holding an absolute position.

"Is there anything else?" Jiang He asked.

Si Ning asked doubtfully, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"Then goodbye."

"No, buddy..."

Jiang He reached out and pushed Si Ning to the ground. Si Ning fell into the teleportation array created by the spatial authority, and the old swordsman went back with her.

"Your Majesty," the Prime Minister greeted with utmost reverence.

"Should I take you back to Golden Castle?" Jiang He asked.

The Prime Minister bowed his head and replied, "Your subordinate can wait here. Someone in the palace knows I have come to the Conquer Cathedral, and the King's Sword will probably be deployed soon."

Jiang He glanced at the dead deputy judge. Normally, this guy wouldn't have escaped the fate of being killed to cover his tracks.

"I'll wait until you're safe before I leave."

"Thank you for your favor, Your Excellency." The Prime Minister was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

Kamishiro Mirai felt a chill run down her spine; the witch's methods were truly terrifying.

The next moment, the collar of her dress was lifted up.

"What's wrong with you again?" Jiang He walked out of the garden. The battle between the Legion Commander and the Shield of Conquest had begun to subside.

"Senior, I've been reincarnated in this world." Mirai Kamishiro explained briefly. She was born again, this time as a Gold Elite at the end of the apocalypse. Therefore, her family and church believed that she was a born knight with extraordinary talent.

"Someone has sent you a letter." Jiang He took out Eleanor's letter of introduction and heard the notification sound at the same time.

[Hint: Mission: Rescue the Prime Minister has been completed]
[Hint: You have obtained a Sub-Legendary Skill Enhancement Scroll *1]
Jiang He chose to upgrade Thorn Hand.

[Name: Thorn Hand]
[Category: Ability]
[Quality: Sub-Legendary]
[Effect ①: Sub-Legendary Thorn Mastery, thorns possess the same level of Fortitude, Fire Immunity, and Sharpness]

[Note: Functional supplementary capabilities]
[Hint: Joint Promotion - War Progress +1 (2/9)]
Beside her, Mirai Kamishiro, with her toes off the ground, finished reading the letter.

She had a deep impression of Eleanor; they had been teammates in the training knight order, and Eleanor was a very gentle, kind, and beautiful woman.

"Sister Eleanor actually asked me to take care of my senior."

"But I have to marry into a family to arrange a marriage."

Mirai Kamishiro secretly glanced at someone. Rather than obediently waiting to be married to the third prince, she might as well give herself to her senior first. After all, in the aristocratic circles of the capital, no matter how much an unmarried person misbehaves, it is not considered immoral.

"I'm sorry, Eleanor."

"I'll take your man for now."

"I'll return it to you in six months."

Jiang He was unaware of the extraordinary ideas the tea-haired girl harbored. Once the Saint-level experts of the King's Sword arrived, he threw her back. The Shield of Conquest was severely injured but not dead, and the legion commander escaped. However, in terms of the operational objective, the mission of destroying the Cathedral of Conquest had already been completed.

Late at night, Jiang He returned to the guild hall with his gun.

The building, which was originally brightly lit, is now completely dark.

He activated his All-Seeing Eye and went inside, heading straight for the study. The Grand Scholar lay on his desk, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, his soul shattered; he had clearly perished completely.

"To silence them?"

Jiang He activated the power of destiny, but gained nothing. Just like the old swordsman's sword hilt, the power to destroy all traces did exist. The quasi-alchemy master was not without combat ability. Only the peak of heroes could easily kill the Grand Scholar.
