From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 121 You know, this is the US military.
Angus was of course unaware of Jose's actions, and he had no time to concern himself with matters outside the protective barrier.

After the prayer ended, the consequences of the light screen falling down were clearly evident: apart from him, all the other clergy members collapsed to the ground.

For these people, the side effects of praying with Angus without any preparation or ritual were too great.

Their spirits simply couldn't withstand the immense pressure from this foreign land; their entire being collapsed, leaving them only with the ability to breathe.

However, after this special ceremony, Angus was not short of helpers.

Those who were transferred here and those who were already here exchanged glances and, in a few words, had already reached an agreement.

That is, they were indeed facing a world-ending crisis, but they were also fortunate enough to encounter a miracle!

The cardinal, along with the monks, completed their salvation.

Outside, the rain was pouring down, the wind was howling, and a tsunami was raging.

A house was swept away by the seawater and crashed into the sunshade, but it did not harm them in the slightest.

The moment the holy light descended, everyone became the most devout believer, and many elderly rednecks even knelt down on the spot and began to pray.

Those with weaker faith or those who were bolder had already gathered around Angus.

“Your Excellency Cardinal!” someone said, “Thank you for saving us. Is there anything we can do to help you?”

Hearing their words, Angus smiled with relief. "If you can, please pray to the Lord for me, thanking Him for saving us and for protecting their lives!"

It was only after experiencing this ceremony that Angus realized just how reckless he had been.

The ceremony he just witnessed was actually a shortened version of the war guardianship ceremony he had seen in a book. In the real version, it would require a grand sacrificial ceremony, more than 10,000 believers, and at least three cardinal-level clergy to preside over it.

But he had just omitted almost the entire ceremony, even many of the prayers, in order to complete the ceremony before the tsunami arrived.

The ceremony was indeed completed, but at a terrible cost. Angus didn't even know if the priests, bishops, and pastors would ever wake up...

They were severely injured, and even the power sent down by the merciful Lord was beyond their ability to resist.

Upon hearing Angus's words, many elderly believers knelt down and began to pray softly to those lying on the ground.

No one else noticed anything amiss, except Angus, who could see that their prayers were transforming into warm currents that entered the bodies of these people.

"It's alright, if it works... that means my guilt might still be absolved!" Angus thought to himself, looking at the growing crowd around him, a radiant light suddenly shining down on him.

His radiant presence caused many people to kneel down once again.

These believers, who have listened to stories and believed in God their whole lives, may have had doubts and wavered at many times.

But after today's miracle, those doubts and wavering have become the prelude to even more devout faith!
The radiance emanating from Angus is clear evidence of this concentrated outburst of faith.

Nothing is easier to win people's hearts and faith than a single act of salvation, and the sheer volume of this faith that flowed in astonished even Bai Yang, who was standing nearby.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of your own making; it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one may boast."

Angus was referring to the content of Ephesians, meaning the essence of salvation: God gives it proactively, and people receive it by faith.

There were too many people gathered here, and he couldn't attend to them all or have the time to manage them. This was the only way he could appease them.

His extraordinary power, honed by his unwavering faith and masterful divine arts, had gradually become second nature.

These words spread directly throughout the entire light barrier, echoing in everyone's ears, gradually calming them down so they could sit down and pray to the heavens.

Each of these people is at least a superficial believer. Their prayers can make this protective shield more stable and also deprive Angus of the conditions that could lead to a stampede.

Everyone's heart is at peace, and this peace will continue until the end.

But just as he was able to breathe a sigh of relief and look at the people before him, the tremor from above caused many to panic again. Unbeknownst to them, the enormous two-headed serpent Atlas had arrived in front of the light barrier and discovered the unusual situation.

Two terrifying heads approached from the front and back, hissing as if scrutinizing the light shield and the person inside.

Atlas, the two-headed giant serpent

It didn't intend to attack the light shield, but just watching it like that was enough to make many people's hearts stop.

Everyone has seen the movies and knows how terrifying giant beasts are, but who has actually seen a terrifying monster that is hundreds of meters long, with its head alone being more than ten meters long?

Behind it, the massive tsunami was still raging, much smaller than before, but still powerful enough to destroy everything.

Angus stared at Atlas, the cross on his chest flashing incessantly, as if reminding him that the serpent was dangerous and terrifying.

Atlas twisted his body slightly and pushed aside a hundred-meter-tall hotel outside the light barrier like a building block, thus getting closer to the light barrier.

Some people with good eyesight can even see its forked tongue licking the light shield, a gesture that looks exactly like a premonition of an attack.

But Angus knew that the monster in front of him had no desire to attack this place; it seemed to be just staying here.

"Don't provoke it. We should be able to stabilize for a while longer until another superhuman arrives!" Angus thought slowly. As long as the other party didn't attack, he could call Leon or George after the tsunami ended.

He firmly believed that the appearance of the two chosen ones would change this situation.

After all, he was all alone now, and without priests or bishops, he was powerless to do anything.

This giant serpent was clearly no ordinary creature. Its scales shimmered with a special divine radiance, indicating that it was a monster far more powerful than a demon, perhaps even a mythical beast. He had no idea.

However, some people don't seem to be as settled as Angus, such as the current America Southern Command.

They saw the situation at the seaside through dual imaging from satellites and early warning aircraft.

They were just shouting and yelling for people to come out and "see God," because the light shield that Angus had created was indeed too magical, especially his red clothes standing in front of the crowd, which looked just like a "prophet" from mythology.

At the very least, everyone in the fleet had become devout believers, watching as a heavenly kingdom on earth was established.

They certainly saw the giant snake appear, and that's when they had their idea.

"General, this snake looks like it's going to attack the light barrier!" an observer said. "Should we help them?"

The fleet was full of Americans, whether Catholic, Protestant or Christian, it didn't really matter, they were all convinced that the miracle before them was the coming of the Lord.

Therefore, they were all thinking that if they helped now, would it be easier to get noticed by certain people?
If the observers could think of these things, the generals certainly could too. Several high-ranking officers exchanged glances and all felt that this was very promising.

They are certainly not devout believers, but it doesn't seem like there's any harm in cultivating good relations with the Catholic Church, which is currently booming.

At the very least, when I meet this cardinal in the future, it will be considered a good connection.
Thinking about this, they all nodded in agreement, feeling that this matter had great potential!

The report was quickly approved by the Pentagon and the White House, as those bigwigs wanted to see if their weapons could harm this monster.

As for the consequences of not having fought? That was never within their consideration. A few deaths, what's the big deal?
Soon after, the roar of missiles echoed from all over Florida. A Tomahawk cruise missile was launched from missile boats, land-based launch sites, and mobile missile vehicles, all aimed at the giant snake on Miami Beach.

As the whistling and flashing lights came from the sky, the people on the beach also saw the missiles in the sky.

They were thrilled to find that their country hadn't abandoned them and was still launching missiles to alleviate their crisis!

Only Angus slapped his forehead, realizing that if the tsunami hadn't destroyed the infrastructure and prevented him from making calls, he would have loved to call Golden Retriever!

Aren't you stupid to launch an attack before a monster has even shown any real hostility?

He felt a sudden pang of fear; these high-ranking officials who didn't understand the extraordinary were going to kill everyone here!
