Chapter 218 Heaven or Earth
Moher had considered what the evil spirit might do, but the idea of ​​it directly confronting Doro and revealing its true nature was extremely perverse.

Although Moh seemed to have considered this possibility, it was, in her estimation, a very low probability event.

This is inherently unreasonable.

At least, if Mohe had been in charge of arranging this, she would never have done it this way—it's obviously fake.

Although the other party skillfully wove a web of lies, half true and half false, ultimately… her biggest mistake was her claim of "loving Doro," because this man named Doro, at his core, didn't believe in love. Even someone like Lisdoye, Doro never truly loved, so he didn't believe in such feelings. In fact, Doro even doubted his own feelings for Moher, questioning whether they truly constituted love.

Even though he's been saying things like "I like you so much, Moh," "I like this groveling look," "I like this humiliated expression on your face" lately... wait a minute? Something seems off.
In short, even with Moher, whom he himself claimed to like, he interacted with her with the utmost distrust. So, what are you, Julia's evil spirit, trying to say? That seeing Doro is enough, that seeing Doro would make dying without regrets? Isn't that nonsense? Doro would be a fool to believe you.

However, it seems that the great and esteemed King had some plans of his own, which is rather unusual, since Doro usually doesn't make many arrangements and is more often in a passive position.

Doro said he was not satisfied with the result and hoped that Moh would do something to satisfy him, so Moh did just that.

The angels launched an attack on the two, and holy white light burst forth from the monster's weapon, as if to illuminate everything in the world, leaving no shadows behind.

Moher's use of his own vengeful spirit was like stirring up a hornet's nest, triggering some kind of "mechanism" in this world.

"As expected, our Miss Julia is truly a cruel person!"

Mohe sighed, stepping out of the white light, the mysterious runes formed by symbols of the dead still floating in the sky: "She actually created a species that does not regenerate a soul after death. Compared to the ideal balance between the world of the dead and the earthly world, she gave the celestial realm a more severe reality, where the soul and body are fused together... That halo is the manifestation of the soul. When the body dies, the soul also shatters, flowing in the celestial realm, forming these pure white clouds. Therefore—when creatures in this world die, there is no reincarnation, but rather they shatter into the most basic particles, and then reconstruct. There will never be an exact replica of an angel."

As they spoke, the "halos" surrounding all the angels turned black, the angels' eyes became lifeless, and they stood there silently, carrying their strange weapons.

Before Doro could say anything, Moh explained, "Please don't misunderstand. I haven't done anything excessive to them. They are just temporarily blinded by my symbol and have fallen into chaos, but they are not corrupted, dead, or manipulated by me. I just don't want to hurt them."

Although she said she wasn't manipulating things, she still told these people, "Go back to your homes and don't go out no matter what happens."

The symbol of the dead, or rather the symbol of the soul, is related to the most fundamental power of life. In this celestial realm, it is like a taboo, causing the angels' "malice" to constantly gather, even though Moh believes that the so-called angels do not actually have any malice.

The species that Yulia created, no matter how you look at it... is really too extreme. Mainly, it's so unlike herself and Yulia.

Even in the first two eras of the world's creation of life, there were few creatures as extreme as these.

However, at that time, they didn't know much. Perhaps there were similar things, but their research wasn't deep enough, and then the other party disappeared.

Of course, it makes no sense what we do to these angels.

Moh was simply responding to Doro's call. Since Doro was unhappy about the matter, her loyal servant had to do his bidding. What the evil spirit was thinking was unknown, but Moh neither made a deal with the evil spirit nor set a trap for Doro.

It wasn't that she was afraid of Doro, but rather that she didn't trust the evil spirit enough. To plot against Doro, she needed to take a long-term view; acting rashly now might really anger Doro, and then her situation would likely be dire… Even though Moh was capable of many things, living peacefully for hundreds of years and suffering for hundreds of years were two completely different things. Ultimately, Moh had never experienced the agony of being tormented.

She didn't want to imagine it.

The worst thing that's happened is that Doro's desires have gotten the better of him, and he's now taking advantage of himself.

So even if the evil spirit jumps out and accuses her, she didn't make a deal with the evil spirit and she's perfectly upright—as for the evil spirit's specific plans, who cares?

The symbols of the dead formed a path leading to the deepest part of the heavens.

Without a doubt, that must be where the goddess's corpse is located, in the very center of the heavens. However, the significance of such a path is merely to prove that "the evil spirit you mentioned is still alive, and she is inside the goddess's body."

"So, it seems she wasn't lying?"

Moher shook his head: "I cannot make a judgment."

"Is that so?" Doro gave Moh a deep look, and Moh met his gaze calmly, because she really hadn't done anything this time.

"Shatty, Fickel, do you agree with the words of the evil spirit?"

Both girls shook their heads. They had been skeptical of the evil spirit from the beginning, but then again, what exactly was the evil spirit trying to prove by lying?
Thinking about these things now is useless.
"In the end, all that investigation in the Celestial Realm was pointless!" Doro sighed. "From the very beginning, there was only one place we needed to investigate, right?"

Moh smiled and nodded: "You're right, my dear master. From the very beginning, there was only one place we needed to investigate, and that was the goddess's corpse. There, we could find out all the answers."

"Then why did you have us gather intelligence like this?"

"I'm just curious about the civilization and life created by the goddess. If you have that need, I'll take you there from the very beginning."

She spoke as if it had nothing to do with her, but Doro wouldn't criticize Moh at a time like this. He simply looked at the path that Moh symbolized, watching the angels constantly flying in from other clouds, only to be corrupted by Moh and "returned."

“Let’s go. Since this is our original purpose, there’s no need to waste time.” He then suddenly looked at Mohe, “The so-called time scale of the celestial realm and the time scale of the earth should be the same, right?”

"I think so... I didn't feel that time had changed."

In less than five minutes, the group arrived at the very center of the world.

There is a huge church here.

It is even greater than the palace that Moher once had.

"My goodness, Yulia, that's a bit extravagant. My palace isn't even that big. Does she think she's some kind of superhuman?"

White jade adorned everything in the space, even the steps looked sacred and precious. "This must have been decorated for Julia by the believers," Moh said. "Julia personally prefers wooden decorations—ah, but so many years have passed, perhaps her tastes have changed, so I can't really say for sure."

The enormous church seemed to be completely empty.

The group walked forward until they reached the very center of the church.

"Welcome! Demon King and Hero from the Earth!"

A pure and vibrant voice resounded throughout the church.

Several people looked in the direction of the sound and saw a coffin there. Outside the coffin stood a man dressed in a white robe.

"pope……"

As soon as Xia Di saw the robe, she knew it was the robe of the Pope of the White Church... The various things of the White Church were indeed moved from the Celestial Realm. Perhaps this was also the guidance of the goddess, but... how contradictory.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the Pope of this world, the most faithful servant of the Goddess, the agent of the will of God, the great twelve-winged angel! Novan."

The man held a scepter, his arms outstretched, and behind him, six pairs of wings shone brightly. Even his halo was different from that of other angels; it was golden.

Moher walked forward: "So, Pope, were you waiting for us here?"

"Of course!"

Norvan immediately gave his answer: "I knew all of you would come here, and I knew all along that the plan had reached the point where it should be launched. This is the will of God. Even though God is dead, I will offer my final, most utmost devotion to my God! God's glory will shine upon the earth! You have made a wrong decision!"

Even Moher frowned: "What?"

"The moment you step into the church!"

The scepter struck the ground, unleashing boundless divine power.

Moher seemed to realize something at that moment, and she immediately began to traverse space.

However, it failed.

The so-called power of faith fluctuated here. The power of the goddess interrupted the power of Moher, or rather, neutralized it. Something like a barrier was born here, sealing off the entire church.

Then, the Pope broke down.

It shattered completely right in front of them.

The scene looked ridiculous, and it was hard to understand why the other party was using it—but Moh’s serious expression made Doro wary.

This was especially true for Shady and Fickel.

The goddess rose from the coffin behind where the Pope had previously stood.

"The celestial beings' devout faith in the goddess over the years has transformed into a blessing capable of killing the goddess's own will. This blessing's power has now become a prison for this church, which can be said to be the blessing itself... Mr. Doro, how long will it take you to break this place down?"

Doro shook his head: "If someone is of equal strength to you, it would take a long time to destroy them by brute force."

"...Evil spirit, is this your plan?"

Moh looked at the corpse that had stood up.

The corpse then spoke: "Plan? No, this is not my plan, it is Yulia's plan. This is a holy war that will wipe out the world, which was destined long ago. You should have killed all the angels first, because the holy war is about to begin."

"Holy War..."

The corpse nodded, casually sitting on the coffin: "Yes, the Holy War is about to begin. Initially, Yulia planned a Holy War of Great Cleansing of the Earth, equipping the angels with those weapons to wipe out all those impure creatures who had gone astray. However, it's not accurate to say that Yulia herself devised this plan; it was the love of her many followers that influenced her thinking—the followers loved her, they wouldn't allow anyone in the world who didn't love Yulia, they wouldn't allow anyone disloyal to Yulia. Places that faith couldn't reach were simply cleansed… Of course, Yulia overcame this influence, using the creation of the White Church on Earth to alleviate the followers' 'desires' in a gentler way. But in the end, Yulia still died."

She chuckled dismissively: "Since the resister of the wish is dead, the wish will naturally continue. The Pope just now was indeed Julia's most devoted follower, so he himself was both a fanatic and a victim of this fanaticism. From the moment Julia died, he dispersed the others and waited here for your arrival, imprisoning you here—in just five days, the angels will cleanse the world. In that case, whether above or below ground, only pure white will remain. This pure white is exactly what the angels desire."

Moh spread his hands: "And then what?"

She looked puzzled: "After clearing away the creatures on the ground, then what? Can they kill us? If they can't, I can just return to the ground and recreate many species. Is that some kind of amazing thing? Could it be that this plan can be repeated?"

Compared to Moh's confusion, Doro clearly didn't want such a thing to happen: "Evil spirit, did you tell me those things just to bring us here?"

"Of course, my dear hero, the reason I brought you here is because you need to get involved before we can have anything to talk about."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Here, my power, your power, and the Demon King's power, combined, should be able to defeat the power of blessing, leave this place, and stop everything—so this involves your choice, hero… If you want to save the people of the earth, you must cooperate with me, and my condition is to kill all the angels. Let the blessing disappear from the world completely. Simply put, this is a choice between the heavens and the earth, but I think you shouldn't need to worry about which one to choose, after all, the heavens have nothing to do with you; you are a person of the earth."

A smile appeared on her face: "I think this is the basis for our cooperation. As for the Demon King... would you like to join us?"
