Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

Lin rolled her eyes and said resentfully, "If you wanted to help, I wouldn't even be able to see these enemies. They would have disappeared long ago, just like the Temple of War."

"......"

She was speechless. Her mind was mostly focused on the Three-Phase Divine Realm, and she was observing the changes in this world more as an outsider.

The Lightbringer gave a soft hum, closed his eyes, placed his hand on the magic crystal at the top of the tower, and released a mental wave under the light of day. He quickly detected the enemy's traces and reassessed the opponent's combat strength.

"The priests of the Temple of Fate, the hunters of the Thunder Hunting Grounds, and Lady Vivian are all here too... Could it be that even the Free Federation is here...?"

Enemies are everywhere. The Temple of Love and Wisdom doesn't even bother to use its disruptive magic, and makes no attempt to conceal the astonishing strength of its united front. The main force of the Holy Temple of Light is being held back by the Gods of Universal Love and Favoritism. Once they conquer the Holy Radiance Continent, destroying the Holy Realm of Light will only be a matter of time.

"Foolish fellow, thinking you can defy the Father God like this!?"

Lin was momentarily dazed, then turned cold and ruthless. Someone was observing the world through her eyes. She shook her head, regained her senses, and looked confused.

"Excuse me, what did you just say?"

"......"

Invincible said nothing, but this was not a good sign. The Temple of Light did not need help; it was their enemies who needed it.

As the sun sets and the sky darkens to mark the end of the day, the alien invaders in the jungle are poised to strike. Templar warriors climb the city walls, awaiting the arrival of dusk.

"The Holy Light will never be extinguished, and the enemies of the Sanctuary will fall before dawn."

Lin's clear voice echoed across the city walls, and the warm sunlight shone through her body onto the legion, soothing the soldiers' tense emotions.

As the last ray of light faded, a war song rose from the darkness, flowers paved the path of the warriors' bravery, thunder roared in the sky, and the giant Uso charged toward the Tower of Light, alone on the front lines.

867. Radiant Bird

Boom!

Uso summoned lightning and charged forward, its terrifying speed instantly traversing mountains and plains to reach the front of the Tower of Light, slamming heavily against the protective barrier. The astonishing impact caused the entire Holy City to tremble, and the defending soldiers covered their ears and groaned in pain.

Dark clouds obscured the sky, obscuring the stars and moon. Rolling lightning pierced the darkness and struck the golden barrier, as if flaunting its absolute power. The Thunder Hunter, upon its appearance, aimed to intimidate both sides with overwhelming strength, its surging spirit unreserved.

The Thunder Hunter acted unilaterally, without considering the military formation, which threw the Holy Temple officers into disarray. Chanting a legion-level secret technique to counterattack was extremely ineffective against one person, but they couldn't just watch that disheveled savage continue to run amok. The problem was that most of the Light Warriors had been summoned to the side of the Arbiter to fight the Benevolent God, leaving Holy Radiance City to rely on the Light Matrix and Magic Crystal Machinery for defense.

Click!

The protective barrier quickly cracked under Uso's reckless onslaught. Uso, beaming with pride, pounded his chest and roared. His mind was consumed by the intense desire to capture the Lightbringer and the beautiful image of his beloved divine messenger throwing himself into his arms upon his triumphant return. He was even willing to burn his mark to fuel the flames of thunder, hoping to bridge the chasm beyond the extraordinary.

Vivian soon understood why Valentine had been so tolerant of Uso. It would be a shame not to make good use of such a simple-minded but physically strong admirer. The moment Uso surpassed the peak of the extraordinary realm did indeed scare everyone, and the savage siege was remarkably effective.

The Thunder Hunter, his entire body enveloped in a shockwave-infused armor, tore at the cracks in the barrier, resembling a legendary deity. His aura alone overshadowed the holy light of the Tower of Light, while the Cupid warriors advancing in formation behind him were invigorated, their momentum shaking the heavens.

This was a war with no suspense, according to the priests of the Temple of Destiny and the warriors of the Temple of Love and Wisdom. The most threatening enemy of the Temple of Light, the Divine Judgement, was firmly held back in the Wilderness Plane by the Divine Judgement of Compassion. No matter how powerful the benevolent Lightbringer was, he could only heal his allies and could not put up any decent resistance, so he had no deterrent power whatsoever.

The situation was even worse. Lin frowned and turned around. There wasn't a single lord among the Templars who could fight the Thunder Hunters. Sending Saints into battle would only be suicide; they couldn't even buy time. She raised her hand to guide the energy of the Tower of Light, and a beam of blinding light shone in her palm, reflecting off Uso.

The scorching light stung the Thunder Hunter's skin, yet he laughed arrogantly, his eyes filled with nothing but naked possessiveness as he looked at Lin.

"The power of thunder permeates my entire body. Even the dawn and the new sun would pale in comparison to the thunder. My beauty, once I conquer this plane, you'll know how powerful I am!"

"is it?"

The Lightbringer's eyes flickered, showing neither anger nor worry, nor even a trace of emotion. She gazed thoughtfully at the divine army on the plains. The enemy, approaching under the cover of darkness, numbered in the millions. Every night thereafter would be unbearable, as their military supplies would not last more than a few days.

Suddenly, Lin spoke up and made a decision that no one expected. She ordered the garrison commander to remove the defense matrix to avoid wasting the reserve magic crystals. The garrison commander was stunned for a moment, but resolutely obeyed the order. For believers, the orders of the divine messenger were supreme.

As the city's defensive light barrier gradually dissipated, four high priests dressed in radiant divine robes understood the Lightbringer's gaze and ascended the four magic crystal towers to oversee the Light Matrix, awaiting the best opportunity for a counterattack. Blindly defending was absolutely useless.

"Surrender? That's a bit boring. Are you captivated by me? Alright, alright, in that case, I'll be gentler with you later!"

Uso stroked his chin, stunned. He hadn't even had time to tear the barrier apart yet, and this scene was as if a high and mighty holy messenger had taken off his divine robes to welcome the invasion of heretics, which excited him immensely.

"The pilgrimage route is fraught with thorns and rabid mobs, so every step you take is a repayment for the past."

Like some ancient incantation, or an obscure and mysterious eulogy, Lin murmured a passage from the sixth section of the third chapter of the Codex of Light, but not in mortal language, but in the supreme divine sound, the runes echoing and reverberating across the battlefield.

Just as the Divine Kingdom's formation fearlessly advanced, thinking the Holy Light Temple had given up resistance, Invincible Silent retreated, as if he had already sensed something. Vivian, who was watching the battle in the jungle, also became alert and looked up at the sky.

It was this sentence that caused Uso's expression to change drastically, and his foot, which was stepping towards the city gate, stopped. Lin's gaze was calm as she looked down at the Thunder Hunter. Her beautiful eyes grew brighter and brighter until the dazzling light was uncontrollable, like two suns.

At that moment, a ray of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds and shone on the top of the Tower of Light, bringing light back to the earth. Accompanying it was a scorching meteorite falling from the sky, and a heat wave swept over from above. Intense light elements enveloped the Holy Radiance Continent, a power that even a legion-level forbidden spell could not match.

"The setting sun... No! That's... Run!"

The beloved messenger, his face filled with terror, screamed and ordered the troops to retreat. But most of the soldiers were unaware of the impending disaster and simply stared blankly at the sky, evaporating from the world as the sun fell to the ground.

Boom!

The golden meteorite struck the plains like a falling sun, annihilating all life on the scorched earth. The hundreds of thousands of divine soldiers at the forefront were reduced to ashes and corpses.

The massive meteorite, ellipsoidal in shape, is embedded deep in the rock. Its surface is covered with beautiful rings of sunflowers, making it resemble a giant egg. A vibrant life force emanates from within, and one can faintly hear a rapid heartbeat, as if something is about to hatch.

The commander of the Temple of Love and Wisdom jumped up in alarm, and the vigilant soldiers re-established their lines, surrounding the giant egg. Lin, however, merely twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a cruel, cold smile.

The temple guards on the city wall, their eyes mesmerized, knelt on one knee, gazing at the giant egg and whispering sacred words: "On the third day of the Father God's creation, his valiant and fearless Valkyries rode divine birds around the world, and what illuminates all things is called light..."

click!

With a crisp sound, the giant egg's outer shell melted away like liquid, and a four-winged giant bird was born bathed in golden light. It had no eyes, no claws, and its sharp beak held a dazzling crystal. It flapped its wings and soared into the sky, stirring up a blazing wind. The light-cast feathers covering its body shone brightly, symbolizing its mission of never touching the ground. That was the Radiant Bird that forever hovered above the statue of the Holy Mother of Light.

"Don't panic! Shield formation, advance! Mystic phalanx, chant the forbidden incantation! Damn it, where are you, Uso?!"

Valentine's face was extremely ugly. She never expected that the first act of the divine war would unfold here, instead of in the Wilderness where the Judgement God was located. The appearance of the Radiant Bird meant that the Holy Mother of Light was ready to descend to the mortal world and become the first god to participate in the war, without any fear of becoming the target of everyone's attacks.

868. Hound

The Radiant Bird, carrying the Sun Crystal, cried out as if it were crying, and headed straight for the Messenger of Light. Lin rode up the Holy Light Staircase and leaped into the sky. She did nothing but ride the giant bird around the battlefield.

The gentle and beautiful light that was a blessing to the people of the Holy Temple was a nightmare for other heretics. The Radiant Bird in the darkness became the only source of light. Wherever the holy light shone, the armored soldiers suffered unbearable pain, and their soul shields instantly melted and burned. This happened in every formation, disrupting the divine kingdom's military forces, until no one dared to approach the area of ​​the Tower of Light guarded by the giant bird.

The mysterious curse of the Temple of Fate and the divine martial arts of the Temple of Love and Wisdom could not harm the giant bird at all, and the howling lightning in his ears became Valentine's last hope. The Thunder Hunter crawled out of the dust, and Uso shook his head, which was stunned by the meteorite, and angrily pounced on the Radiant Bird.

Thunder rumbled and the laws of nature surged, and lightning flashed with divine might. But before the lightning could even reach the flamingo, Uso felt his divine power rapidly weakening. The closer he got to the flamingo, the faster his soul was consumed. Even the lightning could not withstand the terrifying heat. In the end, Uso had no choice but to abandon his foolish idea and flee in panic. He fell to the ground and rolled in pain, but the golden holy flames clinging to his body could not be extinguished for a long time.

The Lightbringer stood atop the Radiant Bird, yet she did not command the giant bird to ignite the holy flames across the continent; but her cold declaration was heard by all.

"Even without the gods' prohibition, mortals cannot defy the will of the Supreme Divine Court. You fallen ones who betray the Father God, you will never be qualified to ascend to the Divine Court, nor are you worthy of possessing the truth. The war of judgment is about to begin, and no one can save you."

After speaking, the Lightbringer opened his arms to embrace the sunlight. The transcendent divinity emanating from his tall figure instilled fear in the hearts of many apostles. They had angered the Valkyries of the Father, but now who could stand up and openly defy the Father? Was it the Thunder Lord who worshipped nature or the weak Three Fates? The beauty and wisdom of the Goddess of Love could not be turned into weapons. Who would bear the wrath of the Supreme Divine Court?

As the Chaos Knight said, what we need to worry about are the pathetic pawns being manipulated by the Night Mother. The Old Gods, with nowhere else to turn, have no choice. Unlike the Eternal Beast Gods, who are supreme gods and have enough faith and voice in the Supreme God Court, they are not qualified to be the Father's favored loyal dogs. If they don't want to be ruthlessly harvested, they can only be forced to join a new game.

As the sun rose once more, the Radiant Birds circling above Holy Radiance City drew cheers from the crowd. But the Lightbringer, gradually regaining her senses, trembled all over. All she could see were melting flesh and charred bones. She had never been so cruel, even to her enemies.

Lin covered her mouth, her pretty face deathly pale, and murmured to herself, "What...what have I done?"

"........"

Wudi simply stayed quietly by Lin's side, watching her clear eyes that were slightly wavering. What she needed most was not comfort but liberation, but the power to break free of shackles had to come from the bottom of her heart; external interference would only create new chains.

The duel between the Father and the Mother of Night is about to begin again, and this time there can only be one winner. But Nolan has never seen a player win two rounds in a row, at least not in her mind's eye archive.

So, what will Lin choose? The beautiful goddess king is looking forward to it. The mortals also have a chance to win. The idea that gods are supreme is the biggest lie woven by the Heavenly Father. Now that lie is being exposed little by little.

The morning light shone on the face of the beloved messenger, pale and bloodless. The soldiers of the Temple of Love and Wisdom were disheartened. The miracle of light could demoralize even the strongest warriors. Valentine's lips moved, and the unease in his heart grew stronger. This scene was completely different from the whispered prophecies in the darkness.

Suddenly, a strange thing happened. A scream echoed across the plain. Uso was engulfed in holy flames that he could not extinguish. He was writhing on the ground in pain when a cold light emerged from his chest. A short knife pierced through Nash's steel body and the Thunder Brand, and blood kept gushing out.

The next second, the Thunder Hunter's body was severed from its head, without even a chance to struggle. The smiling boy who had appeared in the center of the battlefield kicked away the convulsing headless corpse, pulled out his short sword from the chain blade, and casually wiped it on his white cloak. The appearance of the Radiant Bird made his mission much easier.

"Divine Hunting!"

An elderly priest at the Temple of Fate cried out in alarm and turned to run. He remembered the strange weapon and the name of the Apostle Killer.

Most believers had heard rumors about the Hunter Clan, and some of the lords who had survived had even fought against the Hunters. They came and went without a trace, cold-blooded and ruthless. The laws that the saints were so proud of were meaningless in front of them, which made them even more terrified. Uso, who wielded thunder and commanded divine power, was now being cruelly slaughtered like livestock in a slaughterhouse.

First came the divine bird's descent, then the daring divine hunter. The successive defeats had enraged the beloved divine messenger, who sternly ordered the legion to surround the villain. She hated that arrogant maniac but never expected that such a powerful ally would be the first to fall.

"apostle?"

Bai Yi always wore a contemptuous smile. He licked the bloodstains left on the blade, wrapped half of his body in a diamond-dust silver robe, and instantly neutralized the secret technique barrage and spear arrows, calmly moving between the various formations.

"You're next..."

The Diamond God Hunter, knife in hand, gazed at the mediator deep in the jungle, tilting his head and sneering. He seemed utterly uninterested in the weak. The fall of each divine messenger was a great weakening to the gods. The Hunter God Clan was not only reclaiming truth, but also the power of faith.

Sensing the provocation, Vivian narrowed her eyes, runes flickering at her fingertips, not daring to let her guard down. She had seen Tess's abilities before, and this brat was no less capable than the Duchess of yesteryear.

"Bloodthirsty hounds, what is the purpose of your disturbance of the world?"

"Throw some trash that shouldn't exist back into the trash can. Give up. Your god won't appear because they are just a bunch of cowards. They have reason to fear us, and so do you."

Bai Yi continued to advance with his silver blade flashing wildly, but Vivian did not retreat. She chanted in a low voice to summon the star map. The body of the ancient giant spirit can be considered the nemesis of all arcane spells and incantations. All energy impacts would be absorbed by the silver armor. Using the law rashly would fall right into the trap of the god hunter. Only the barbarian lord, who is known for his recklessness, can fight against such a terrifying enemy.

The boy, with a sickly smile, sped off. Suddenly, his prey froze, staring intently at his back. Then, Bai Yi fell to the ground. He looked down in shock, his lower body empty and unresponsive. The suddenly lost diamond fragments left two horrifying blood trails on the ground.

"Varied......."

A tall figure blocked the dazzling sunlight. Before Bai Yi could see the person's appearance clearly, his vision blurred. He felt as if his body had been crushed by a giant beast, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

869. The Judgment of Our Lady

No one saw where Invincible emerged from. Upon its appearance, it tore through space and snapped the boy's legs. Right in front of the Libra Star Envoy, it ripped his indestructible body to shreds with its bare hands. There was no fancy technique whatsoever; it was pure physical crushing. Its brutality was chilling.

Even diamonds have their limits. Scattered fragments of limbs, mixed with crimson blood, silently testified to the witch's cruelty and brutality. Blood stained the black knight's armor, sending chills down everyone's spines. They almost forgot that Lady Vivian was accompanied by a Chaos Apostle.

The battlefield was deathly silent. The Hunter God Clan appeared in a terrifying way and disappeared in an absurd way, so quickly that people thought it was just an illusion, as if nothing had happened.

Invincible simply clapped his hands and stood like a statue beside the Libra Star Envoy, quietly waiting for the outcome of the battle. Even Vivian looked helpless.

If it weren't for humiliating the heroic warriors, Kuaru would probably have disappeared long ago, just like this kid. The Beloved God's expression was complicated. Recalling Invincible's previous warning, she felt even more uneasy. Yes, she was afraid. The Benevolent God was unaware of what had happened. The Holy Temple's counterattack could come at any time. That was the wrath of the Heavenly Father.

It was obvious where Invincible had gone. Vivian turned her back and sighed softly. There was no room for easing this war, so there was no need for her to stay here.

“You could have stopped him in other ways.”

"Only death can end his mission."

The Black Knight shook his head. Ordinary apostles were powerless against the Hunter God Clan. Countless powerful figures had died in humiliation at Bai Yi's hands, just like Uso. They were fundamentally different from Zhang Tiange. Their fragile bodies were not enough to contain the truth. Destroying an immortal divine body was not something a Diamond God Hunter could do.

Without saying goodbye, the Libra Star Envoy departed with regret. The upcoming war of faith was bound to be even more bloody. No sooner had they left than the sentinels of the war zone brought devastating news, and all the lords, including Valentine, turned ashen-faced.
