When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 294 The Hand of God, Primordial Era: Creation of Heaven and Earth

In the mythology of the Holy Church, "right" represents nobility.

When the Son ascended to heaven, he sat at the right hand of God.

Catholic priests also use their right hand to baptize people.

At this moment, Ekaterina revealed this "Right of God," displaying the awakened ability inherited from the false saint to Bai Ze.

The reason Ekaterina did not draw upon the power of the chorus was because she had a backup plan.

The chorus team wasn't in a hurry because they believed Ekaterina could win.

The metal gauntlet was not for protection, but rather to restrain the power of the right hand.

When the brilliant light appeared, Bai Ze seemed to fall from the highest heavens to the mortal world, his transcendent aura vanished, and the five-colored divine light was torn apart like ripped silk.

Catherine's right hand was outstretched, seemingly filling the heavens and the earth. Although it was just reaching out straight out, it seemed to come from nothing and go to nothing, making it impossible to see through the changes and giving people a sense of having nowhere to escape.

Bai Ze's spirit was suppressed.

The unparalleled "power" suppressed Bai Ze's spirit, which in turn affected his mind, causing him to experience strange illusions and be unable to see through the changes.

He knew things were going to get bad, but he had no choice but to respond. He immediately whispered and said, "Keep your mind as still as water."

With words that seemed to carry the law, he forcefully suppressed the mind. The immense primordial energy gathered in his arm, transforming bones, meridians, and flesh into form. In an instant, the Dharma Arm was formed and blasted towards the right hand of the god that seemed to fill the heavens and earth.

With a clashing of palms, a cracking sound was heard, and the Dharma Image's right arm was shattered by the earth-shattering force.

Even if it was hastily formed and had not yet used any moves, the Dharma Form that has created the third stage is by no means so easily defeated.

Even Rhine, who had previously failed to succeed in a single move, was now defeated by this divine right hand.

A chaotic flow of energy and a fierce wind swept across the area. The shattered Dharma-image arm transformed into surging waves of energy, only to be obliterated upon contact with that palm.

Bai Ze's figure flashed, using the force of the shattered right arm of the Dharma Image to fly backward. True Qi circulated around his body, and the illusory image of the Dharma Image instantly took shape and quickly solidified.

"It's no use. All your resistance is futile before this hand."

Catherine ignored the rapidly forming image of the Dharma, and simply raised her right hand high, its radiance eclipsing the heavens and the earth. "This is the hand of God, it holds victory in its grasp."

Before that hand, everything seemed to lose its meaning—a dazzling brilliance and boundless splendor.

This is no longer the power that awakened abilities can possess; it is clearly a true supernatural power.

The abilities of the Awakened are extremely basic versions of divine powers. Even the physical divine power bestowed by the Great Freedom Demon Lord is merely nominal. Only when one reaches the eighth star and undergoes further baptism can the physical divine power contend with the innate divine power of an eighth-star warrior.

Bai Ze has only seen two examples of awakened abilities comparable to supernatural powers.

One of his strengths is that his words become law; given enough power, he is almost omnipotent.

The other one is the "Hand of God" right in front of us.

At this moment, Ekaterina's strength had clearly surpassed the six-star level, yet she did not cause any spatial ripples and was repelled by the unstable space.

It was as if that hand had smoothed out and suppressed all the ripples in space.

As Ekaterina said, victory was in her hands.

"So, what is the price?" Bai Ze asked loudly.

The "Hand of God" indeed possesses an extraordinary strength. If Ekaterina had used it earlier, the three-way battle would not have occurred, and Bai Ze and Rhine would have had to flee under the endless radiance.

So the question is, why wasn't Ekaterina used?

There is only one possibility: the cost will be enormous.

Even something as powerful as a word becoming law must abide by the law of equivalent exchange. Bai Ze did not believe that this divine hand, which defied common sense, required no price.

Only with an immense price and severe side effects would Catherine bind her right hand with a metal gauntlet, delaying the use of the Hand of God. "The price is irrelevant to the loser."

Ekaterina's azure eyes turned gold, and her icy face now carried an even colder, more indifferent air, as if she were a goddess high above everyone else.

"On that day, all the springs of the vast abyss burst open, the sluice gates of the sky were opened, and the floodwaters submerged the earth."

She recited verses from the Bible aloud, reciting the legend of the Great Flood. Endless radiance seemed to come from the void, surging into her body and transforming into a raging tide of light from her palms, pressing down on Bai Ze.

"retreat!"

Rhine, who had already left the scene, shouted loudly, causing the Japanese to all retreat from the mountaintop.

But he himself remained on the edge of the mountain like a bloodthirsty spectator, watching this breathtaking scene.

The dragons in Tianchi Lake swam wildly downwards, trying to escape the disaster as quickly as possible.

The club presidents of Yujing Martial Arts University still wanted to continue watching the battle, but they had to leave the mountaintop due to the overwhelming atmosphere.

Bai Ze, who faced the tide of light directly, was under unprecedented pressure.

but--

He also found a glimmer of opportunity.

'The source of the Hand of God's power is the power of faith.' Bai Ze was certain of Ekaterina's current source of power.

He had previously stolen the power of the choir, thus discovering that the key to Catherine's ability to access the choir's power lay in the connection of faith.

Through the recitation of scriptures, power is transmitted through the connection of faith.

In the terminology of the Eastern Xia, the hymn squad is Catherine's Dao soldiers. Their power originates from Catherine and is essentially of the same source as her radiance, so they can be fused with her.

Now, Catherine's initiative to recite scriptures undoubtedly rekindles that connection of faith.

But this time, she drew upon not the power of the chorus, but the power of faith accumulated by the Ursus Orthodox Church.

Only in this way could she display such great power.

And to bear the power of faith, one must naturally also bear the burden that comes with faith.

This is the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Follow the laws of heaven and earth."

Bai Ze shouted loudly, and a huge Dharma image, fifteen meters tall, stood on the mountaintop.

Flesh, bones, and meridians, supported by the invisible force field of "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm," are sculpted into a lifelike Dharma image. The black and white colors flow, and the yin and yang energies transform into a long robe, draped over the Dharma image.

The immense primordial energy converged into the palm of the hand, transforming Yin and Yang into the Five Elements, condensing into a massive Qi weapon.

"The feeling of ascending to a high place".

The mental cultivation method of ascending to the realm causes the Yin and Yang energies to clash and generate violent power.

Fa Xiang, wielding his weapon, slashed down from the sky with the force of splitting Mount Hua.

"Take this move—Primordial Chaos: Creation of Heaven and Earth!"

The yin and yang energies surged endlessly within the weapon, and the giant blade cleaved through the light tide.

At the same time, an invisible force transformed into an arrow, which shot towards Catherine after the Qi soldiers.

Use morale to pave the way, and use spirit to attack spirit.
