From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 320 Extraordinary Defeat, Demon God Emerges

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles court, under the watchful eyes of the world, delivered a unique verdict!
Sitting in the dock were a taciturn young man and his weeping elderly mother, while the plaintiff was America's official representative.

The reason for suing him was because he made a statement that "disrespected Cha Li".

This reason seems utterly ridiculous to outsiders, yet in this country, dozens or even hundreds of people have already been punished for it!

They lost their jobs, their businesses, and even their futures, all because of a few people's reports, without even any concrete evidence!
But everyone's attention was not on these people, but on the two groups of people outside the courtroom.

The two groups were: one led by Baron, members of the White House Special Affairs Bureau, and the other led by Niki, members of the Inquisition.

Nicky Dio had originally planned to go to the courthouse to see what was going on, but when he saw the group of government superhumans silently blocking his way in the square in front of the courthouse, he knew that the real issue wasn't in the courtroom.

“Cardinal Dio, what should we do?” The members of the Inquisition looked at Nicky.

"It's simple. Since they want to fight, let them fight! Let the whole world know that the strength of the Vatican has never lay in supernatural power, but in our faith in the Lord!" Nicky shouted.

Those who followed him to this land were all members who had received the "commandments," that is, extraordinary beings in the traditional sense.

However, compared to a true fighting force like the Knights Templar, their combat strength is certainly much weaker, but similarly, their ability to use faith and willpower is much stronger!

After all, in the establishment of the precepts, the religious court and the inquisition exercised the same set of precepts, which were both called the "purification precepts" of "purification, judgment and sin"!
Of course, unlike the ascetics and penitents of the Inquisition, the religious court appeared more holy and radiant than dark and bloody.

If the Knights Templar were the spear of the Papacy, then these are its swords. They possessed virtually no direct physical combat ability, but in terms of divine judgment and purification, no one could surpass them.

Moreover, because of their study of the Bible and Christian scriptures, they all appeared more compassionate and more holy.

Because they adhere to the doctrine that "Christ is the light of the world, and following Him means you will never walk in darkness."
Even though, apart from Cardinal Nicky, who was promoted to the special position of "Throne Representative" under this command, the rest of them were all of the lower-ranking commandments such as "Dew-bearers," it was enough!

So everyone stood on the ground and chanted softly:

Our Father in heaven: hallowed be your name.

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

In the eyes of the world, as they chanted, one could see a glimmer of morning starlight appear on their eyebrows, not dazzling, but bright enough.

The dazzling light was so intense that people around them knelt down and prayed in hushed tones.

Even in the extraordinary era, the extraordinary abilities that are truly revealed to others are still very few and far between. Therefore, these people still cannot help but kneel down after witnessing a "miracle".

The most outrageous thing was that behind Barron and his group, quite a few people also knelt down.

Of course, the two-thousand-year-old Christian faith tradition cannot be broken so easily. Even if they keep encouraging themselves, the pressure of that thousand-year-old sect, once it comes down, is enough to terrify everyone.

Therefore, they also had to take action, after all, today they represented not only themselves, but also the national dignity of America!
The golden retriever wanted to use this performance to express the feeling of "winning". Even if it couldn't win big, it couldn't lose in terms of momentum!
Baron and Austin exchanged a glance, waved their hands, and the two squads of Dragonblood Warriors beside them stepped forward and stood in front of them.

The next second, to everyone's astonishment, these warriors' bodies began to "transform into dragons"!
Dragon scales, claws, and tails burst forth from their bodies, revealing the characteristics of a giant dragon. They transformed from warriors who were only a little over a meter tall into giant "half-dragons" who were a full three meters tall!
These half-dragons also picked up their "weapons"—some incredibly powerful-looking swords and blades—giving off a classical and powerful aesthetic!

"my Lord!"

Is this the power of a nation?

"As expected, even religious sects pale in comparison to nations!"

Many people exclaimed in amazement as they looked at these powerful dragonblood warriors, at their dark gray muscles that were even more solid than steel. In this country that revered so-called "strength," they felt incredibly proud! This was their country's army, the very strength of their nation!

It turns out that the golden-haired man wasn't just boasting; he really does have such a powerful army, and he can truly rely on this army to protect the country!
They, America, possess a unique extraordinary ability that no other country in the world possesses! That is a victory!
Speaking of the extraordinary, they have such a powerful army that even the starving drug addicts in the slums of Los Angeles can stand tall with pride!

This comparison is quite interesting, much like military exercises between the East and the West. Because the cost of fighting is too high, they are generally mainly for deterrence.

The same applies now. Everyone knows the consequences of fighting in such a busy area. No matter who is in the right, it will escalate into an unjustified fight. Therefore, they have all chosen to exercise restraint.

However, the moment Nikki saw this group of dragonblood warriors, she frowned.

As a holder of the episcopal ordinances, and also as a high-ranking member of the Holy Council and the de facto ruler of the throne, he was granted the title of "the right of judgment by the Holy Fire of the Throne of the Archangel" by Pope Mario.

These words, which might have been just a special declaration in the past, are now a gift of extraordinary power in the current Vatican!

He possessed a special authority called "Judgment of Sin and Heresy," and with the blessing of this authority, he witnessed the suffering caused by the horrific experiments on these Dragonblood Warriors.

“Will the Judge of the whole earth do justice?” Nicky whispered. As he spoke, a light shone before his eyes, and a special mirror slowly appeared in mid-air, shining on everyone.

Many people looked up at the mirror and their faces immediately showed expressions of horror. They saw their own sins!
These people looked around nervously, trying to see if others could see this sin, only to find that everyone around them seemed to be doing the same thing!

In that instant, they realized that everyone in the mirror was seeing their own sins!

Ordinary people see sin, but those who are deeply sinful kneel down in fear and cry out, "I'm sorry, I'm guilty!"

There were quite a few such people present, mostly wealthy people, high-ranking officials, or gang members. Many more, however, were people with minor sins or strong beliefs, who slowly wept and began to examine themselves and atone for their sins.

At that moment, Nikki's voice suddenly rang out:

"When the seventh angel of the last days sounds the trumpet, all those who hold the three lights will together build a stairway to glory—"

These steps, stained with the blood of the Son, stepped with the golden words of the Father, and balustraded with the flames of the Holy Spirit, lead directly to the wedding feast of the Lamb in the new heaven and new earth!

Beside him, a group of members of the Inquisition chanted the same words along with his, their gazes fixed on the dragonblood beings before them:
"Those who suffer should be eliminated! Those who sin should be abandoned! Those who dwell in the soul should judge themselves!"

"The Holy Father is watching over you from heaven, asking you to alleviate your pain and bear your sins... Why don't you wake up?"

Upon hearing this, Barron, Austin, and the others immediately realized that something was wrong, extremely wrong!

Their extraordinary warriors were mostly forged through painful training, and now the other side claims they can alleviate their pain? That's...

Before the fear in their eyes could fully manifest, they saw the extraordinary warriors in front of them kneel down one by one, their dragon blood power dissipating, and comfortable expressions appearing on their faces.

“The Lord will bear your pain and your sins; this is the Lord’s mercy!” Nikki said softly, looking at the many high-ranking officials in front of her.

Thus, the outcome was clearly determined, with the Papacy emerging victorious!

Moreover, these warriors have probably developed a favorable impression of the Holy See, so they probably won't win in the future!

"Sigh!" Baron sighed. He knew the Vatican wasn't that simple. Looking at José beside him, he said, "Archbishop, this is all up to you!"

Jose nodded and stepped forward alone. "If that's all the strength you have, it shouldn't be too bad!"
