From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 391 Keeping an Appointment
"Splash..." The seawater was surging wildly, blown about by the helicopter's rotor blades.

This is just an ordinary helicopter. It's hovering over the sea with no land in sight, which is extremely dangerous.

But no one, regardless of who they are, is fully aware of this danger.

Because the people inside the helicopter were witnessing an even more terrifying crisis:

"Lord, you are the only Lord, the Lord of hosts, the merciful Lord..."

In the scene, a girl named Caroline is softly chanting her prayers as she kneels on a ship, using her own strength to maintain the ship's protective shield.

Inside the shield were the corpses of a group of people, as well as many more who were seriously injured and on the verge of death. They were all alive under the protection of the light shield. The saintess, who was known for her healing and recovery abilities, could not give them even a tiny bit of power.

In front of the protective shield, some priests of the Vatican collapsed, exhausted, and fell silent.

Outside the protective barrier, a group of crystal beings were punching the crumbling barrier.

Further away, several extraordinary experts stood on the frost-covered sea, confronting a crystalline monster.

Under the blessing of a radiant man waving a cross, these extraordinary beings became incredibly powerful, even appearing stronger than before!
Even so, they were still in grave danger. Every punch from the crystal monster was accompanied by endless waves and thunder, forcing these superhumans to dodge desperately.

Although they can still manage to cope and occasionally launch a counterattack, it's clear to anyone with eyes that they don't have much time left before they are defeated.

“Your Majesty, the arrival of Father Angus and Saint Caroline has indeed stabilized the situation, but—” Nicky’s words were heavy, “their holy light is already somewhat insufficient, and defeat is only a matter of time!”

"News has come from America: they have decided that the moment our people are utterly defeated, ten ten-megaton hydrogen bombs will be dropped simultaneously!"

"They are prepared to fight to the death. Even the Goose side has started digging for the remaining Tsar Bomba!"

Hearing this, Mario seemed somewhat apprehensive, "They also know that humanity has reached its most dangerous moment!"

On the scene before them, the terrifying false god, right in front of everyone, made his horrifying declaration: "I regret it. I think I should have killed all of you, otherwise... you in the future will definitely bring us great trouble!"

What he was expressing was naturally what was happening right before his eyes.

Even this false god hadn't anticipated how much trouble this relentless, ever-flowing crowd would cause him!

He broke the Viking's giant axe, knocked down two Indian giants, knocked down George who had acquired the power of the saint, and turned those extraordinary groups into a pile of corpses.

Under such circumstances, even an iron man would know to step back, and even a believer in God would know to let go!

But these people simply don't know!
Despite the enormous casualties and terrible despair, and knowing full well that they couldn't win, they still led the remaining men and broke in!
They sacrificed their lives, exchanging their lives for what might be a negligible amount of time, using their lives to delay what was almost a certain future!
Not only the Papacy, but even the Native Americans and Norsemen did the same! They shouted the name of God and charged at him!
This practice of constantly sacrificing lives just to buy a little time finally made the false god from another land feel a sense of fear. How terrifying would it be if these people were allowed to grow up?
So he increased his power again, determined to completely annihilate this group of people here and destroy their source, so that this terrible religious fanaticism would be eradicated from the world!
Meanwhile, Mario finally arrived in the Caribbean. He looked at the events unfolding on the screen and reflected on the torment he had endured along the way.

Throughout the journey, even his heart felt a terrible tearing sensation.

Because George, this saint, has already ascended to heaven.

Yes, the future Chief Justice of the Inquisition, the successor of Saint George, whom he appointed, has completely lost his life.

In order to stop the false god, he exhausted his own body and faith, and teleported Angus and others from America to the region.

The reason he did this was very simple: the entire Indian Legion and the Norse Legion were almost completely wiped out!

Kuchamama was not exaggerating. He possessed power that was almost divine. The power that those "chosen extraordinary" people possessed was released by him. And when he truly unleashed this divine power, the speed at which these extraordinary people, who were not even afraid of America, collapsed was far beyond imagination!
Without divine backing, their power is pitifully weak in the face of a true god.

Thunder and lightning, storms and raging torrents turned the superhumans into corpses within moments of contact, and subsequent attacks inflicted heavy losses on them. The situation was only brought under control with the arrival of Angus, Caroline, and two other superhumans from the Indian region.

Upon Caroline's arrival, she used her abundant holy light to give many who were still alive a chance to breathe, and even directly healed their wounds, giving them the strength to fight again.

Angus, without hesitation, stepped up to take the place of George, who had already ascended to heaven, and withstood Kuchamama's attack.

But the price of this resistance was the deaths of the priests they brought with them!

Because the battlefield is never just a battle against Kuchamama, but also a battle against the monsters he has resurrected!

They are using human strength to fight against a monster with divine power...

Mario looked at the ocean before him, took a deep breath, and said, "Niki, report the damage!"

“George Stasi is dead, Leon Rankoch is seriously wounded, Angus Bennett is slightly wounded, and Caroline Olsen is exhausted…” Nicky said, “Now they have less than one person left to fight.”

"What about the rest? Our men, their men..." Mario asked again, "How many are left?"

"Nearly half of our priests, knights, and monks have died, and the rest are all wounded, only because Her Highness the Holy Maiden has been treating them!"

"More than two-thirds of the Native American superhumans have died, and the rest are fighting on the battlefield!"

"As for the Viking warriors, there are only three left, all beside Caroline, and they are all lifeless!"

Upon hearing this, Mario remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "This is the price of fighting powerful alien false gods... How much did the Holy See pay back then when they fought against so many alien gods, so many demons, and so many monsters?"

Nikki shook her head. "I don't know, but we have to go help His Majesty, otherwise... it will really be too late!"

Mario shook his head softly. "Not us, but me, Nicky! I will face him, and you, stay here!"

The elderly pope slowly took out a crown of thorns from his personal bag, held it in his hand, gazed at the broken thorns, and said slowly, "Niki, what you need to do is rescue everyone after I arrive at my position!"

"Everyone?" Nicky was stunned, a look of horror crossing her face. "Your Majesty, what... what are you going to do? The Holy See is waiting for your leadership! You mustn't..."

He was terrified that Mario would actually rush over recklessly and take on all the responsibility—that would be horrible!

Mario chuckled, a look of relief on his face. "Niki, I'm eighty years old. Everything I've experienced in my life has been wonderful enough! I've even witnessed the Lord's resurrection and coming... I should be serving the Lord now, so what are you afraid of?"

"If my life can be exchanged for the safety of this world, I will do it without hesitation! Besides, we haven't lost yet!"

His eyes were sharp, and his spirit was incredibly high. It was clear that he had made preparations before coming here. "If I win, the light of heaven will shine down and bless every fighter!"

"If I were to pass away, I would detonate the power of the shroud at the moment of my death—this Vatican cipher is our final trump card!"

"When that time comes, I hope you can save Angus and Caroline—he will become the new Pope, and the Saintess will become the Papacy's last hope!"

Nikki wanted to refuse, but he knew he couldn't.

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mario's figure disappeared into the distance.

The Pope of the Holy See is going to keep that extraordinary appointment!
