From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 22 The Spirit of Pride!

“I saw that evil spirit! I saw Father Ken Burke’s face!” Angus shouted. “This is blasphemy! It dared to desecrate the body of a bishop and kill people in the church! It killed monks, priests, nuns, deacons…”

"This is a trampling of faith, an insult to the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit!"

Father Angus was already extremely angry.

He was resting in his room, doing his daily prayers, and praying even more devoutly to God.

He could now barely feel the warmth in his chest; it was a divine gift, and his main source of power.

Angus, a devout believer, could sense that some special changes were taking place within himself.

It was as if divine power was gradually being transferred to him.

This made him more resilient, but also more fearful. He was just a small-town priest, and his theology and various skills were only passable. Why would they choose him?
He didn't know, and his prayers went unanswered; instead, he was met with screams and tearing sounds from outside!
Angus saw his superior, Ken Burke, the bishop of the Garden Church and the parish, but the man was clearly no longer human.

The contorted body and the almost shattered face clearly indicated that the other party was being corrupted by an evil spirit!

If it were the old Angus, he definitely wouldn't have been able to stay calm, but now he has gained some confidence.

So he voluntarily came down from the lounge, holding the Gospel in his hand, wanting to save those who had not yet been killed.

But when he came down from up there, what he saw was this evil spirit dragging down all the corpses and placing them in the chapel!
Such a scene is so horrifying it's outrageous, and such blasphemy is so exaggerated it's chilling!
That's why Angus was so furious; it was practically a verdict on their beliefs, a sign of disdain and indifference!

God is merciful, but His mercy certainly does not include this kind!
Therefore, when Angus saw the police officers walk in, he didn't say anything, but simply opened the book in his hand and began to recite it aloud!

Our Father in heaven: hallowed be your name.

"Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

As soon as he said this, a white light emanated from his body, and then slowly rose up to the astonishment of everyone!

Although he only rose about ten centimeters, he floated in the air without any support!
This scene caused many police officers to kneel down, make the sign of the cross, and say "Amen!"
In this land of faith, such a sight is enough to shock everyone!

Meanwhile, in a secret room not far away, the newly assembled high-ranking officials from all over California, upon witnessing this scene, felt their initial greed for "extraordinary" and "immortality" suddenly vanish as if doused with a bucket of cold water, leaving them feeling utterly chilled!
They actually wanted to scheme against a real messenger of God?
What are they doing?
True extraordinary ability, even in its mere expression, is enough to intimidate certain people with ulterior motives!
Everyone fell silent, watching Angus's performance alongside the remaining clergy and police officers in the church.

But the next second, a footstep sounded slowly, causing everyone in the church to look up warily!
"You are the merciful Father, the perfect Lord, the Lord of hosts!"
The Lord of hosts will bless His believers and bestow divine glory upon them as they triumph!
May the Lord of hosts be with you!

A new prayer appeared, but it did not come from Father Angus; it came from the doorway before us!

Then, they saw a man in a black robe, wearing a bishop's robe, stride in through the door!
His face was deathly pale, and his body seemed to be in serious trouble, but all he uttered were orthodox prayers!

He was an evil spirit, praying to God! This scene left everyone dumbfounded!

"Ken Burke?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise as they looked up at his raised head!

However, this "bishop" glanced at the people around him, then at the incredibly hidden cameras, and a strange and terrifying smile flashed across his face. "Everyone's here? Then... let's begin!"

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Deputy Director Pierre turned around and saw the door behind him closing.

The next second, the remaining doors and windows slammed shut to everyone's astonishment.

"Break down the door!" Pierre said decisively. Although he didn't know what had happened, the closed door looked extremely dangerous! The police officers began to ram the door, but the wooden door, which didn't seem very sturdy, didn't even budge under their assault!

The police outside also noticed something was wrong. They started ramming the door with spikes, but no matter how hard they tried, the church remained unmoved.

Finally, someone shot at the door, but no bullet marks were seen; only a silent, muffled thud was heard.

"Sir, we can't break down the door. Even shooting it doesn't work!"

Pierre's face turned ashen upon hearing this.

The next second, a police officer came over from inside the church to report, "Sir, the entire interior of the church is sealed off, and none of the doors or windows are working!"

The entire chapel seemed to be locked up in an instant; these people couldn't get out!

At that moment, Pierre thought about many things, but in the end, he still led the police officers to Father Angus's side.

They stood alongside the clergy, protecting the priest and facing the bishop.

Since the church is sealed by a mysterious force, the only mysterious person here must be here. Everyone understands!
Behind them were cameras, and behind those cameras were the rest of the police department staff, as well as high-ranking officials from California in a secluded room, all watching this scene.

The bishop knew this, of course, but he was in no hurry. Instead, he slowly walked to the center of the chapel, to the spot where he most often stood, below the cross.

This is roughly the layout.

He faced off against so many people all by himself, yet he didn't feel tense at all!

Holding the Gospel in his hand, Angus shouted at the "bishop," "Evil spirit! How dare you... how dare you do this! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment from the Lord?"

He was stunned. A possessed evil spirit was chanting the prayer of the Lord of Hosts. What was it doing? Even the greatest demons of hell wouldn't dare to do that, would they?

The "bishop" sat chuckled on the white altar, smiling as he looked at the crowd before him. "Others might not dare, but me..."

He walked forward quietly and came to Father Angus. He carefully examined the light emanating from him and then walked back.

All of this was done under the guns of the police officers, but because of his inexplicable charisma, the officers didn't even have the courage to fire!
The "bishop" strolled up the church steps, gradually returning to the platform, and slowly said, "Because of the actions of some foolish believers, I have actually been summoned to this era! I must say, you fools of the Vatican are no different from those in the Middle Ages!"

The man paced back and forth on the stage, seemingly experiencing what it felt like to be "human." "After spending so much time in hell, I really miss the atmosphere of the human world!"

Angus immediately understood. "A demon! You are a demon from hell! Who summoned you? And which demon god do you serve under!"

"Trying to trick me into revealing my real name?" The "bishop" chuckled, looking at him. "A righteous and rigid believer—that's exactly the kind of person Yahweh likes..."

Hearing him address Yahweh by his name, Angus's pupils constricted, and his voice suddenly turned angry and alarmed, "You actually... how dare you..."

"Calling Him by His name? Hahahaha!" The man sat down on the platform, holding a black feather and waving it in front of them. "Besides me, there are very few who dare to do this!"

"Tell your Lord, the spirit of pride, to greet Him!"
