From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 268 The Competition Begins (Bonus Chapter 78 for Monthly Tickets)

With the execution of the culprit and the intervention of members of the Vatican, the believer named Maung Dan Min was also rescued from the dungeon.

The man, though barely breathing, was still alive. He bowed to the crowd and said, "I prayed to the Lord for salvation... You have finally come!"

He knelt down, moved to tears, "But my little brother... Waaah!"

And the viewers in the live stream finally learned why George and the other members of the Vatican had traveled all this way to this country.

It's all for this believer, all for this one person.

Even Bai Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, could feel the special amplification of vow power caused by this event. The Buddhist sect gained vow power, and the Vatican gained vow power that was no less!

The fact that they could get so many people here to save a believer is like a real-life version of Saving Private Ryan; it's just too cool.

These people liked this kind of thing, and at this time, more faith and aspirations converged on them.

"This is the Vatican we've always dreamed of!"

"The Holy See! The Crusades! Go go go!"

"The Papacy will eventually return to its position as the master of Europe, and all other denominations will bow down!"

The fanatical followers flooded the screen, which boosted the prestige of the Vatican.

This live stream room, at some point, somehow became a gathering place for religious people to celebrate, drawing more attention to what was happening here.

The leaders of various countries frowned even more deeply, because the strength of the Papacy represented a weakening of their own power.

Another group of observers, of course, included the warlords near Kachin State.

Of course, what these people heard was not some supernatural talk or struggle, but rather Min Ang's talk about "talking to the people around him," which made them feel a great sense of crisis!

What does this monk mean? Is he going to go against the entire country's military power to carry out his own ideas? How can that be allowed? How can that possibly be permitted?

This monk wants a ceasefire? He wants to reduce the treatment of monks? He wants to change this country?

These words are tantamount to cutting flesh from the bodies of these warlords! What do they care about whether ordinary people are doing well or not?
These warlords exploit the people internally, collude with foreign forces externally, engage in shady businesses, and wage wars. They live a very comfortable life.

Apart from those idiots in Kokang next door who are actually learning from major powers about life, trade, and education, aren't all the other warlords just like that?
If we let the common people suffer a little, and they shoulder a little responsibility, wouldn't their lives still be quite comfortable?

As long as they're having a good time, it doesn't matter if those people suffer a little!

Now look what's happened! Some people are preventing them from having a good time and want them to give up their benefits to ordinary people. Where did this dreamer come from, thinking up such a wonderful idea?
"A superhuman? Hmph! Even if the real Buddha were to descend, he would have to ask the missile in my hand whether he would agree!"

At this point, the warlords of Kachin State, Shan State, and the surrounding regions, as well as the military government, were all filled with anger.

They cannot accept the division of their rights, nor can they accept the damage to their interests, which is why they are angry.

However, some people don't have the guts to take action, while others not only have the guts but also the actions to do so!
At least, outside of the Dakham military base, there are such ruthless individuals in other military bases in Kachin State!
They witnessed the destruction of Dakan, the suffering of the other side, and of course, they also thought about the mess they left behind not far away.

Fear began to surface in their hearts, leaving them utterly astonished, terrified, and filled with dread!

They didn't want to follow in Dakan's footsteps, and of course, they didn't want the monk and the remaining Vatican monks to live.

Therefore, someone launched their own attack, and it was a thunderous strike!

"Shoot our missiles! No matter what kind of missiles they are, shoot them all down, thermobaric weapons or cluster munitions, shoot them all down!"

"I'm going to make these people die here! I'm going to show those superhumans what they're made of! Do they think they can control our destiny? Don't even think about it!"

The words of these people, accompanied by the roar of flames from the missile launcher, became a terrifying note!

Many surrounding countries have already discovered this information, and they have urgently sent notes to their local military governments to inquire about the situation.

Some of the smarter people immediately understood why this happened, and so they started to fan the flames!
The Vatican received the news quickly, and even faster came the events that unfolded on the scene!
The time it takes to make a phone call is enough for the missile to arrive. After all, this is not an intercontinental ballistic missile, nor has it crossed many kilometers; in fact, it arrives in the blink of an eye!
Therefore, at the very moment the missile launched, Minon and George looked up almost simultaneously. Then, for the first time, Saint George drew his greatsword, and before everyone's eyes, including the viewers in the live stream, wings sprouted from his back, and he soared into the sky!
These are the characteristics bestowed upon him by the Holy Sword: the ability to fly, and the ability to gain combat power and divine magic through his own cultivation.

Even though the Holy See's divine magic is still very scarce, and most of it comes from Angus's development and Caroline's bestowal, George is still one of the best at mastering divine magic!

It was precisely because of this that he had already completed the arrangement of the divine spell while taking flight, and a magnificent barrier descended from the sky, covering the military camp.

The comments section was flooded with messages at that moment:

"I knew it! I knew it! This is the true power of the Holy See!"

"This is the light shield that Cardinal Angus once used. It represents the protection of holy light. What's wrong? Is there danger approaching?"

"Holy crap, another big event has happened? Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

"Enjoyed, so enjoyable!"

Their frenzy didn't last long, because they were so close that a white dot of light soon appeared on the horizon, along with contrails behind it.

This is the missile that has arrived, and with its appearance, everyone tensed up.

Those present began to worry about their own lives, while those watching the live stream began to worry about the lives of their "funny" companions.

Fortunately, the missile was very fast, and it arrived before they had much time to think.

The next second, a flash of white light appeared, and George stood before the missiles.

Previously, it was Min Ang who performed the public displays of divine power, and he, as a member of the Church, kept an extremely low profile. But now, with his appearance, the uproar around the world has suddenly become apparent!

Because compared to those rumors, those images of blessings, and those ambiguous scenes, this message is much stronger, clearer, and more astonishing!

This extraordinary individual from the Vatican showed no fear in the face of the incoming missiles. Instead, he raised his greatsword and began chanting hymns of heaven:

"O heavens and firmaments, tear open and pour forth your flames!"

Jehovah is the rock, the mountain, and eternity.

Despite the fierce wind tearing at its wings,

Even as the black iron pierced through his ribs,
My soul remains anchored to Your eternal rock!

He raised his greatsword, his body incredibly firm and stable, his form exceptionally powerful and solid, and the light emanating from him and his wings of light shone brilliantly in the scene!
Then, the missiles struck!
"Boom!" The violent roar, along with the resulting flames and smoke, covered the figure in the sky, but it was completely cleared away and dissipated in the grand light and shadow!
George's body reappeared, and the scattered explosions, protected by the light shield, did not harm anyone.

But the enemy's attack was not over yet; missiles were rapidly approaching from the distant horizon!
"Do you really think we have no temper?" George was furious. These attackers deserved to die. There were so many people here, including innocents, as well as their allies and comrades, but the attack still came without hesitation. He knew all too well what that meant!
Then, his wings of light unfurled, and the greatsword in his hand burst forth with a terrifying sword shadow of light!

"Boom! Boom..."

The explosions were incessant, causing the missiles that should have detonated here to explode far away.

As the sound waves subsided, George descended from the sky, looking at Min Ang, "I originally had no intention of getting involved in the struggles on this land, but now, I have!"

“The Lord must not be insulted! No one can do such a thing, not a single person! Venerable Min Ang, I want to go with you to have a proper talk with those people!”

Hearing this, Min Ang smiled, "Amitabha, Your Excellency George doesn't need to come with me. We can go our separate ways, how about that?"

George nodded in agreement. "Alright, then let's each go our own way!"

The two looked at each other calmly, but everyone knew that this conversation had turned this war-torn country into an arena for their competition!
The competition has now begun!

P.S.: Finally finished writing! I spent a long time packing at home, but I'll be back soon. That's all.
PS2: Thanks to Beiming Que Jiuyou for the 1500 Qidian Coins reward. I'm still a little short of the 10,000 reward... Hmm, let me rest for a while!
