Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

The ministers rushed out of the main hall immediately.

Sensing the powerful and familiar divine might, even the Black Scorpion King could not remain seated and came outside the main hall with his ministers.

Everywhere the eye can see.

Pillars of light pierced through the earth and the heavens, appearing in various parts of the capital.

Each beam of light was dark red.

It exudes divine power.

This was clearly a miracle, from their god, the Black Scorpion Lord.

However, they had no idea what the Black Scorpion Lord's intention was in making this commotion.

"I see!"

A high-ranking official exclaimed excitedly, "Your Majesty must be planning to send down the divine army to help us crush those brutal elves!"

Upon hearing this...

Many high-ranking officials were also excited.

Gods all have their own divine kingdoms.

Especially for established deities like the Black Scorpion Monarch, not only do they possess vast divine kingdoms, but countless living beings also reside within them.

Those beings can then be called divine beings.

The beings of the divine realm are immortal and indestructible.

At the same time, the gods will selectively cultivate a group of divine beings within their own divine kingdoms to form a divine army.

The angelic army that entered the Dark Continent back then came from the divine kingdom of the Goddess of Light.

Now, the Black Scorpion Lord has bestowed such a divine miracle...

Many high-ranking officials present believed that the Black Scorpion Monarch was preparing to send his divine army down.

But at that moment...

But then an untimely voice rang out.

"If it's a teleportation of the divine army, why would it create so many pillars of light, and why would they be scattered throughout the capital?"

"It felt to me more like they were guiding believers."

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Everyone present was unable to refute him, and inexplicably felt that what he said made a lot of sense; even the Black Scorpion King thought so.

Just when everyone was at a loss for words...

Another pillar of light, reaching the sky, appeared out of nowhere and crashed down in the square not far in front of them.

At the same time.

A faint red glow emanated from the bodies of a dozen or so people present, echoing the light emanating from the towering pillar of light.

Furthermore, a black scorpion mark appeared between their eyebrows.

"What happened?"

"Why are you all glowing?"

"Did His Majesty the Black Scorpion Lord bestow a divine miracle upon you?"

The other executives immediately turned their attention to those people, anxiously asking questions while their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

"Praise be to the great Black Scorpion Lord!"

One of them suddenly cried out excitedly, "I have heard His Majesty's divine voice, which tells me to be led to the Kingdom of God and to gain eternal life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man pushed through the crowd.

Without hesitation, they ran towards the towering pillar of light not far away.

"I also heard the divine voice."

"This is the Pillar of Guidance, leading directly to the divine realm of His Majesty the Black Scorpion Monarch!"

Someone else spoke up.

At the same time, it rushed towards the pillar of light that reached the sky.

Soon, all the high-ranking officials who had experienced unusual phenomena entered the pillar of light. They were all extremely excited, and their expressions and eyes were filled with fervor.

"This, how is this possible!"

"It shouldn't be like this—"

"Your Majesty, the Black Scorpion Lord, is meant to save our entire kingdom, not just a part of it. Why wasn't I chosen? I'm a follower of Your Majesty too!"

Upon witnessing this scene.

Many high-ranking officials showed expressions of horror.

Those chosen will go to the Kingdom of God and achieve eternal life.

Those who were not chosen could only remain in the kingdom to await their death.

This illustrates a lot.

The Black Scorpion Lord not only lost to the Moon Elf Queen, but also abandoned their kingdom, choosing only a portion of his followers to save.

For those who were not chosen, the only fate was to wait for death to come.

As for their speculation about a divine army, that was pure conjecture; there would never be a divine army.

The Black Scorpion Lord has already abandoned them!

"No! I won't accept it!"

"I am a believer too, why has the Black Scorpion Lord abandoned me!"

A high-ranking official screamed in despair and rushed toward the pillar of guidance standing in the square as if he had lost his mind.

Several people followed at the same time.

They didn't want to die; they wanted to achieve immortality.

However, what happened next immediately woke up the other high-ranking members who were eager to try and rush into the Pillar of Guidance.

Because these 'fanatic believers' bodies instantly disintegrated the moment they touched the Pillar of Guidance.

Even demigods cannot withstand the divine power contained within the Pillar of Guidance.

He died instantly.

Obvious.

Only those chosen can enter the Pillar of Guidance.

Anyone who gets close will face certain death.

Upon witnessing this bloody scene, the high-ranking officials who had originally intended to join in the assault on the Pillar of Guidance immediately abandoned the idea.

Only then did they seem to remember...

The Black Scorpion Lord they worship is an evil god.

They showed no mercy when killing these ant-like believers.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the Pillar of Guidance carried the dozen or so chosen high-ranking officials to the heavens and disappeared without a trace.

at the same time.

The guiding pillars throughout the capital have also disappeared.

However, the capital city did not calm down as a result; instead, it descended into chaos.

Seeing others being led to God's kingdom and eternal life while you are left to wait for death, how can you remain calm?

In an instant, riots broke out in various parts of the capital.

No one went to stop it.

Because the city defense army responsible for the security of the capital was also in disarray, and they had been abandoned by their own god, yet they were still expected to maintain order?

Are you kidding me!

They're already doing quite well that they haven't started any riots themselves.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

A high-ranking official asked, his voice trembling.

The others present, only then realizing that their king had not been chosen either, turned their gazes toward him as if they had found their anchor.

At this moment.

The Black Scorpion King's expression was already contorted.

He also experienced a shift from hope to despair.

He is the ruler of the Black Scorpion Kingdom.

But the Black Scorpion Lord abandoned him.

If he hadn't been a peak demigod with a relatively stable mind, he probably would have collapsed by now.

King Black Scorpion took a few deep breaths and said, "Send orders to all cities in the kingdom to dispatch legions to guard the capital."

"We also urgently sought assistance from surrounding church organizations."

"The Black Scorpion Lord has abandoned us; we have no choice but to save ourselves!"

"But Your Majesty..."

A high-ranking official said, "Even the Black Scorpion Lord was defeated by the Moon Elf Queen, who has several deities under her command."

"We are just ordinary people, how can we possibly stop them?"

The enemy has a powerful general in command on the battlefield.

That is a battlefield nuclear weapon.

Even if they manage to hold off the elven army's offensive, they will be wiped out the moment the gods intervene.

How could mortals possibly contend with the power of the gods?

Not to mention that this is an attack by multiple gods.

A high-ranking official, his face pale, said, "The Moon Elf Queen's divine power is terrifying. Even the Black Scorpion Monarch chose to back down. I'm afraid the evil gods behind other forces wouldn't dare to provoke her."

"Even if we pay the highest price, it will be very difficult to find assistance this time."

The other high-ranking officials present were also in utter despair.

The defeat of the Black Scorpion Monarch served as a wake-up call for all the evil forces on the Chaotic Plains.

If you want to go against the elven army, you'd better see if their backing is stronger than that of the Moon Elf Queen.

King Black Scorpion said, "Let's ask for help first."

"Especially the Dark Church, let's see what they mean."

"If they're willing to lend a helping hand, then we don't need to worry!"

Behind the Dark Church stands the Goddess of Darkness, a goddess as ancient and powerful as the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Elves.

Even the Black Scorpion Monarch had to respectfully address the Goddess of Darkness as Her Highness.

If they can bind the Dark Church to their war machine, then the Black Scorpion King will be saved.

After all, no matter how strong the Moon Elf Queen is, can she be stronger than the Dark Goddess?

"Your Majesty is wise!"

One of the high-ranking officials said, "But what if the Dark Church is unwilling to intervene?"

King Blackrod said, "Tell the Pope of the Dark Church that if they help us through this calamity, my kingdom will build a temple to the Goddess of Darkness within its borders after the war, and order its people to worship the Goddess of Darkness."

"If you're not even willing to do this—"

"Our kingdom is utterly doomed."

"We can pack our bags and seek refuge with other factions now."

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

It was quite unexpected that the Black Scorpion King, as the ruler of the kingdom, had already prepared to abandon his people and flee.

But after the initial surprise, I realized it was understandable.

If we don't escape, are we just going to stay and wait to die?

Not only the Black Scorpion King, but all of them also lacked the noble spirit of sacrificing themselves on the battlefield alongside the kingdom's people.

Don't forget, they are professionals from the evil faction.

They also worship evil gods.

A high-ranking official hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I will contact the Dark Church and other forces, hoping they can send reinforcements."

The Black Scorpion King nodded.

He then instructed the other senior executives to go down and prepare as well.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away.

The territory of the Ash Burning Church.

As far as the eye can see, the ground is covered with black soil.

Even the grain planted in the fields was pitch black, emitting wisps of black smoke, as if it had been burned.

The followers of the Grey Church worship the Grey God, Graham.

A mid-level true god who possesses moderate divine power.

At this moment.

In a city shrouded in black mist.

A terrifying power of light suddenly erupted, instantly purifying all the black mist and sweeping across the entire city.

Countless figures knelt on the ground, receiving the baptism of the power of light.

at the same time.

A temple belonging to the Goddess of Light rose from the ground.

Within the temple, a large number of believers dressed in robes of light emerged, including a cardinal.

Hearing the screams and shouts of battle that echoed from within the city...

The cardinal in scepter, with a gentle expression, said, "If there are heretics who still refuse to embrace the light, then purify their souls and bodies with flames!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop!"

A group of Templar Knights quickly departed.

The cardinal instructed the remaining cultists, "Hurry up and set up the teleportation array. The elves next door have already declared war on evil and dark forces."

"Although it's somewhat sudden, how can our Church of Light stand idly by in this resurgence of the forces of good and law?"
