As a queen who has lost her kingdom, I can see the comments section.

Based on the comments, she could determine the location of Rex and the others; her goal this time was to stop them.

As Amelia pulled them away, Eileen and Theresa exchanged a glance.

They had no idea what Amelia was suddenly planning to do, but their long-standing trust in her made them not worried. They felt that Amelia must have her reasons for doing this.

Rex and his companions were very familiar with the environment of the land of creation, and soon found an entrance and exit.

Rex glanced at the sign next to the entrance and stroked his chin: "This is the original Luban Principality, right... Amelia used to live in the Luban Principality, but there shouldn't be anyone she cares about here... Never mind, let's go out first."

The group then passed through the passageway and left.

When Rex stepped onto the ground outside, he realized it was afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly, making it feel warm and cozy.

A city can be seen in the distance.

Rex remembered that city. It was a city called Beard, the capital of the Principality of Luban. Of course, the Principality of Luban has since been dissolved, and Beard is now just an ordinary city.

Next to Beard City is a castle, which was originally the residence of Grand Duchess Verna Lupin, and Verna still lives there.

Thinking about Verna, Rex suddenly remembered that Verna was able to become a Grand Duchess because she had the support of an organization called the Silent Throne. That organization has now been confirmed to be Amelia's organization. In other words, Verna became a Grand Duchess because she had Amelia's support.

If that's the case, would Verna be effective in threatening Amelia?

Rex made his decision quickly.

Whether they're useful or not, let's just capture them first. Who would complain about having too many hostages? Of course, the more the merrier.

As Rex flew toward the castle, many artificial gods immediately followed, and the group quickly flew over Beard City and arrived above the castle.

Knowing that Amelia was not following them, the artificial sea god stopped casting illusions. As they flew by, many people in Beard noticed them.

"It's the Pope, Pope Rex of the Church of Heaven!"

"The long-lost Pope Rex Saint has reappeared? What does he want?"

"What does the Pope of Heaven want to do?"

"Who are those people with Rex? Why do I feel a sense of dread about them?"

Inside Beard, people looked up, their faces filled with shock.

As Rex and his group entered the castle, everyone inside looked out with surprise.

Verna walked straight out of the castle.

Compared to her past appearance as a young girl, she has grown a lot and looks much taller now. Her red hair is tied into a high ponytail, and her red eyes are looking up at the sky.

"Pope, Rex."

Upon seeing the figure in the air, Verna's gaze narrowed.

Besides Rex, she also noticed the other figures around him, but she couldn't help but feel puzzled after looking at them.

Why do so many people look exactly alike? What is this?

Chapter 518 Ultimate Showdown

While Werner was still wondering what was going on, Rex's gaze had already fallen on her.

That look made Vinal's heart tighten; she felt that the gaze was extremely aggressive, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"You must be Verna," Rex said with a smile, lowering the flight altitude slightly. "You know Amelia, right?"

Amelia...

Upon hearing this name, Verna's expression faltered and she seemed momentarily dazed.

That was someone who used to communicate with her as an equal, but at some point, that person had left her behind and gone even further away, so far that even if she strained her eyes and stood on tiptoe, she couldn't see their back.

The other party is in such a high position, having become the renowned Wind Saint of the continent. What am I in the other party's eyes?

Seeing Verna's dazed look, Rex didn't mind and said with a smile, "Anyway, from now on you just follow along obediently... huh?"

Rex was halfway through his sentence when he sensed something was amiss and abruptly turned his head to look in one direction.

Many of the artificial gods also looked in that direction.

This situation caused Verna, as well as the people in the castle and Beard, to instinctively look in that direction.

Under everyone's gaze, a dazzling light flashed in that direction, and then the figures of Amelia, Irene, and Teresa appeared.

"Amelia?"

Rex was very surprised.

Why did Amelia and the others come here? Shouldn't they be in the God-Making Grounds at this time, continuing to kill those unawakened artificial gods?

What's going on? Why is Amelia here?

[Did Amelia come here because she knew Rex wanted to take hostages? But how could she know about Rex?]

[That's strange, is there a plot hole?]

Those who understand will see this as foreshadowing, while those who don't will see it as a plot hole (just kidding).

This is getting interesting. Is a major battle about to break out?

A barrage of comments kept appearing.

The audience was clearly surprised by Amelia's appearance, wondering how she knew about the situation.

Of course, the surprises were even greater for Eileen and Theresa.

Viewers can still rely on the possibility that Amelia might have some clues they don't know about, and wait for the plot to explain. But Eileen and Theresa know that Amelia's arrival is very sudden, as if they already know what happened on Rex's side.

But how did Amelia know that?

Both of them were curious, but they also knew that this was not the right time to ask such a question.

When Amelia and the others appeared, everyone in Beard City and the castle naturally recognized Amelia and Irene. As for Theresa, although no one knew her yet, they would soon recognize her.

"Be on guard!"

Rex immediately shouted and hid behind the other artificial gods.

This action surprised everyone in Beard City.

You, the Pope of the Church of Heaven, a world-renowned powerhouse, your first reaction when faced with a formidable enemy is to hide behind someone else.

So the legendary Pope was really that bad?

As Rex and the artificial gods began to act, Amelia and the others also sprang into action.

The artificial god of shadow had already silently approached in a concealed state. Eileen and Teresa were on guard against these shadowy figures, while Amelia quickly cast the Blessing of the Gods.

'Given the previous experience, Rex and the others are on guard. They shouldn't let the artificial Shadow God get too close at the start, as that would expose him and allow me to kill him. If I don't act quickly, I'll fall into their rhythm. And the artificial Bards are all hiding; I'll just kill one of them randomly.'

Amelia reacted very quickly, targeting an artificial sea god.

Immediately afterwards...

"Whoosh!"

Arrows flew out.

The artificial sea god that was being targeted immediately changed its expression and shouted "No!" Its aura surged and it shot straight into the sky. Even though it knew that resistance was futile, it still waved its hand to summon waves that swept across the sky in an attempt to block the attack.

The scene shocked everyone in Beard City. They never expected that the person following Rex would make such a grand move right away. Was this a Holy Apostle? Or an even stronger being?

Amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, Amelia's colorful arrows pierced through the towering waves without hindrance, striking the artificial sea god directly.

The next moment, the artificial sea god shattered in intense resentment, turning into countless points of light and dissipating, while the vast seawater he had condensed crashed madly into the city.

"I curse you all to evaporate."

Theresa directly cursed the seawater, and immediately the seawater turned into a large white mist that swirled in the air.

Instead of resorting to her previous hit-and-run tactics, Amelia stared ahead and shouted, "Rex, you want to clash with us head-on? Well, we'll grant your wish and fight you from a distance. Do you dare come?"

“If you dare to clash head-on, what are we afraid of? But…” Rex then laughed again, “Why should we fight far away? Isn’t it better to fight right here?”

In Rex's view, everyone in Beard City was now his hostage.

Fighting here would definitely restrict Amelia's movements. As for him, he wouldn't care about their lives. Even if they all died, it wouldn't matter. As long as his ultimate goal could be achieved, what did it matter how many people died?

As they spoke, the other artificial gods made their moves.

Among the gods of ice and fire, some wield ice and frost, while others wield fire.

Some of the artificial bards caused raging winds, while others conjured bows in preparation for firing.

The artificial Thor can either wield lightning or condense his twin hammers to charge forward and collide head-on.

The artificial god of shadow remains hidden in the shadows and has not yet appeared.

Battle is imminent.

Upon seeing this, Amelia's expression immediately darkened.

“In that case, I won’t hold back.” Amelia snorted. “Using others to threaten me… But I understand what it means to prioritize the greater good, and when necessary, I can be ruthless.”

Amelia immediately cast the Blessing of the Gods, conjuring wings behind her, and then grabbed Irene and Theresa.

"I'll give you mobility; go deal with Rex first."

As soon as Amelia finished speaking, Eileen and Theresa understood what Amelia meant and nodded in agreement.

"Whoosh!"

They started moving immediately, inspired by Amelia.

Amelia transformed into a dazzling streak of light and sped past at an astonishing speed, so fast that even the artificial god couldn't catch her before she approached Rex.

This startled Rex, but then he realized that if Amelia used the power borrowed from the gods to fly, she wouldn't be able to unleash that terrifying attack that could kill in one blow.

If Amelia wanted to stop and use the power borrowed from the gods for an attack, it would take some time, enough time for him to react.

Rex relaxed considerably upon realizing this, and immediately unleashed the Holy Judgment Sword.

As the power of the Holy Judgment Sword was unleashed, countless swords condensed with light immediately appeared in the void, seemingly representing divine punishment. They directly brought Amelia and the others into their attack range and crashed down.

"I curse you to grow old and frail, and to lose your strength."

Theresa's voice came through.
