Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1045, Arrival at the EU Base

Dawn Covenant Church.

Wu Heng frowned slightly, vaguely recognizing the name.

As Li Yahong mentioned last time, this is a church established by the EU base in imitation of the 'Spiritual Revelation Church'.

I don't know why the Yama Palace established a church, but there must be a reason for doing so. I just blindly followed suit because I saw the Yama Palace setting up a church.

"What did they do?" Wu Heng asked curiously.

In the world right now, Wu Heng really can't think of anything that could threaten him.

Li Yahong's voice was serious. "I only heard Qi Hancai mention it briefly. He said that the Dawn Alliance recently discussed their application for legal missionary work, and several major bases have also begun to restrict our missionary time, prohibit public gatherings, and even detain a number of missionaries."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

My faith has been growing rapidly lately, and just as I was starting to see some results, problems started to arise again.

"Have our missionary work affected them?" Wu Heng wondered.

“Ask Qi Hancai, she knows more,” Li Yahong said.

"Okay, let me ask her what's going on first."

After hanging up the phone, several ghosts looked over.

Granda asked, "What's wrong?"

“Didn’t the Dawn Covenant Church set up over at the main base? I don’t know why, but suddenly they’re targeting us.” Wu Heng explained while flipping through Qi Hancai’s phone number.

Granda said, "The matter of faith is a big deal. Let's take advantage of the free time these next couple of days to resolve it."

"I know!" Wu Heng replied, then dialed the phone.

……

"Hey~!"

Qi Hancai's voice came over.

"I heard from Li Yahong that the Dawn Covenant Church has some problems?" Wu Heng asked directly.

"The Dawn Covenant has been unusually active on the forum lately, with new posts appearing almost every hour." Qi Hancai's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "On the contrary, negative news about the Spirit Revelation Cult has been appearing on the forum and public radio every day these days, with fabricated charges such as human trafficking, organ harvesting, and child imprisonment being repeatedly hyped up."

Then came the sound of turning pages. Qi Hancai continued, "Also, our people in the EU have been having conflicts with some local groups lately, which is quite strange."

"You believe that all of this was done by the Covenant of Dawn?" Wu Heng's voice also became serious.

This is much more serious than Li Yahong described.

"Although there's no direct evidence, what a coincidence that all these things could happen at the same time," Qi Hancai sneered.

"Have any of our men been injured or killed?" Wu Heng asked.

"There were no casualties. The skeleton guards who accompanied us were quite effective. If someone had been injured, the base over there wouldn't be able to explain it to us," Qi Hancai replied.

After saying this, both sides fell silent.

Wu Heng then asked, "Why did they do that?"

Qi Hancai pondered for a moment before replying, "Even the opposing church couldn't accomplish something this big on its own. A major reason is that the various bases are pushing this together behind the scenes. There are several possible reasons. One is that the rapid rise of the Lingqi Cult has made them feel genuinely threatened. The second is that the increase in believers is already threatening to overturn their existing rule..."

This statement reminded Wu Heng of the current state of the Vatican.

One reason why many large clans and kingdoms are wary of the Papacy is its influence.

This influence can also be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations, or even to overthrow the other side's regime.

Wu Heng said, "Wait for me for ten minutes."

“Okay!” Qi Hancai replied.

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

……

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng leaned back in his chair and began to think.

After speaking with Qi Hancai, he understood why the Dawn Covenant Church had suddenly made such a big move.

The most important point is that the Lingqi Church has developed too quickly, and the number of believers has increased too fast.

This led them to feel an uncontrollable threat.

If things continue to develop this way, if one day the views of the Spiritual Revelation Church clash with a certain 'direction' of the base, the church's believers could easily lose control.

Thinking more deeply, the Lingqi Cult also allowed people at the grassroots level in various regions to learn more about the outside world, which was undoubtedly a huge threat to the base's high-ranking officials who were trying to maintain closed rule.

Who wouldn't want to go to a large base with better benefits and living conditions?

If I were in the position of a manager, I would never want Treasure Island to have a church that could influence the public.

"No, the situations in the two worlds are different."

The other world is under the management of the association, and the overall situation is stable.

Meanwhile, in the zombie world, the world is in the midst of post-disaster reconstruction, and many places are still not free from the threat of zombies.

The Yama Palace played an irreplaceable role in the restoration of the entire world, and it deserves the support of people from all over the world in any other world.

In other words, Wu Heng has given enough and deserves everyone's faith support to improve himself.

The other side's actions against the Lingqi Cult can be divided into two main points.

One is to smear the public with public opinion, fabricating all sorts of horrific charges to destroy the credibility of the Lingqi Church. The second is to increase support for the 'Dawn Covenant Church' to guide people's faith toward a controllable alternative.

Clumsy! But very effective.

Wu Heng opened the panel and glanced at it: [Faith: 17982/50000.]

Under no circumstances should the advancement of faith be affected.

If this matter is left unattended, I will also be threatened by the Church in the other world.

That deity might come to kill me at any moment.

Therefore, this matter absolutely must be handled well; we must not allow such a trivial matter to hinder the development of the Lingqi Church.

As he pondered this, several ghosts flew over, and Granda asked, "What do you plan to do with them?"

Ji Hun heard the entire conversation clearly.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Wu Heng asked in return.

Granda said, "Let them disband their church, and at the same time warn the other bases that just because we don't do certain things doesn't mean we can't."

"You're leveling up too fast; you haven't adapted to the hero role yet," the Empress added.

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, let's go and beat them to a pulp. How could their lousy church be as powerful as the Vatican?"

“Yes, I agree,” Benny added.

It seems the four ghosts have reached a consensus.

Wu Heng laughed and said, "Alright! I'll listen to my good daughter! Let's teach them a lesson."

"Yes, yes, crush them." Little Xiao smiled happily and hung on his shoulder.

Granda frowned slightly, glancing at the Queen and Benny. "Is he taking advantage of us?"

Benny smiled, and the Empress said, "We'll deal with him later."

Wu Heng ignored what Ji Hun said next and redialed Qi Han Cai's number. After the call connected, he said, "I will go to their base. Share the location with me, as well as information about the leader of their church and the leader of their base."

Qi Hancai said, "You can find their information on the forum, along with photos and videos of some public speeches. I'll send you the address now."

"Okay!" Wu Heng nodded.

After hanging up the phone, he sent another message to Li Yahong: "Prepare the plane, I'm going to the EU base."

Ding-dong, ding-dong!

The messages from Li Yahong and Qi Hancai came one after the other.

Li Yahong replied, "Received!"

Qi Hancai sent a location.

Once everything was ready, Wu Heng stood up and said, "Let's go, let's get this over with quickly."

"Let's go!" Xiao Xiao cheered.

Next, Wu Heng led the ghost and three newly transformed skeletons downstairs. Since it was on the way, he also took the skeletons to Li Yahong for leveling up.

……

Noah's City Base.

Ten hours later, Wu Heng appeared on the streets of the base wearing the Faceless One mask.

A gust of wind blew down the street, stirring up dust that swept past the broken shop windows on both sides.

Some reconstruction has been carried out here, but the buildings have no glass, and there are ruins and piles of earth and stones everywhere along the roadside.

On the rooftops of some buildings, armed soldiers can be seen observing the situation on the streets.

It appears that some defenses have been arranged not only outside the perimeter wall but also inside.

In the distance, the Lingqi Church stood alone, and a few survivors hurried inside with their heads down.

"Uncle, do you want to go take a look?" A small voice came from beside my ear.

Wu Heng withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "Let's take care of business first."

Xiao Xiao stayed with him, while the other three ghosts were sent out to investigate.

The location and appearance of the target are clear; now it's time to pinpoint their exact location.

Just then, Benny emerged from the wall and said, "We've found the bishop of the other church! He's a middle-aged man with long hair."

"Let me take a look!" Wu Heng said.

Benny crawled inside, and the footage was shared.

The scene shows a rather dimly lit room.

A middle-aged man in his forties leaned lazily against a leather sofa, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand.

His beard was meticulously trimmed, and his shoulder-length curly hair made him look more like a classical painter than a religious leader.

“Bishop, the venue and personnel are all arranged,” a subordinate reported in a low voice. “With a little guidance, the public will be able to ‘discover’ the ‘crimes’ of the Spiritual Revelation Church.”

The bishop smiled. "Well done. We'll take care of the rest. Go and rest now."

His subordinates nodded and withdrew, leaving only the bishop in the room.

The scene ends here.

A very brief segment.

Wu Heng released Benny and asked Xiao Xiao, "So, who was the other person?"

“You’re dressed like an artist,” Wu Heng explained, then added, “Let’s go straight there.”

"Aren't we waiting for Auntie and Auntie-in-law?" Xiaoxiao asked.

“They will come looking for us.” Wu Heng said, releasing a teleportation spell and disappearing from sight.

Swish!
Inside the bishop's room.

The air distorted slightly, and Wu Heng's figure appeared in the center of the room like a ghost.

The bishop, who was enjoying his wine, suddenly had his pupils contract, his glass fell, and the wine splashed everywhere.

"What the hell!"

The bishop cursed and suddenly sprang up, trying to rush towards the desk.

The next second, the bishop froze on the spot and slumped back onto the sofa.

"Help..." At the same time, he tried to call for help, but as soon as he uttered the first word, his mouth could no longer open and he could not utter a single word.

Wu Heng glanced at him and slowly looked around the room.

The bishop, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed in horror at the figure pacing back and forth, trying to guess the identity of this uninvited guest.

Wu Heng slowly walked to the desk and opened the drawer that the bearded bishop had just lunged at.

There was a pistol and some bullets inside.

Wu Heng continued to look around the room, while Xiao Xiao appeared beside him, floating to the side and commenting on the room's decor.

The bishop could neither move nor speak; only his bloodshot eyes followed Wu Heng's every step, his expression filled with growing terror.

After sitting at my desk for a while, Granda and the Queen flew over.

The two ghosts glanced at the bishop, and then Granda said, "The leader of the base has been found, and they are having a meeting now."

"Let me see," Wu Heng said.

Granda crawled into her body, and the footage was shared.

After confirming the other party's location, Wu Heng said to the bishop, "Have him come over, let's go see their leader."

The bishop stood up stiffly and walked over slowly.

Wu Heng placed one hand on his shoulder, a magic circle appeared, and his figure disappeared.

……

The base, central conference room.

The long, narrow alloy conference table gleamed coldly, and both sides were filled with the base's top executives, creating a tense atmosphere.

The man sitting at the head of the table said in a deep voice, "The Dawn Alliance has sent word that our missionary bill has been rejected. We must find a way to bypass them."

"Why must we cater to the Dawn Alliance?" someone beside him said. "We can win over the European region, New Eden, and those small and medium-sized bases and form a separate alliance! No matter how strong the Underworld is, it can't reach that far."

The leader shook his head. "We can't afford to break ties with the Underworld over this. We still need to maintain appearances. The base's energy, food, and various supplies are at stake."

“Then let’s continue to create public opinion!” Another person narrowed his eyes and said, “When public opinion rises, we can increase control in the base, and the Yama Palace won’t be able to say anything openly.”

The leader nodded and continued, "You're still in charge of this matter. Make sure no one gets caught..."

Swish~!

Before the words were finished, the magic circle on the alloy table in the conference room flashed and disappeared, and two figures stood in the middle of everyone.

"Who goes there?!" someone shouted.

The other person quickly got up and pressed the alarm button on the wall.

laugh!
A drop of water pierced through the air and precisely penetrated his knee.

The other party let out a wail and fell heavily to his knees, his blood splattering onto the conference table like ink.

Squeak~!

The conference room door was pushed open, and two bodyguards in suits cautiously peered in, their hands already on their pistols at their waists.

shhhhh!

Two drops of water pierced the air and precisely disappeared between the eyebrows.

The bodyguard's body stiffened for a moment, then collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut, the dull thud hitting the ground particularly jarring in the deathly silent conference room.

"Everyone! Whoever moves will die."

Wu Heng grabbed the bishop by the collar and jumped off the long table.

The bishop, who was being carried, had limp limbs and his lips had disappeared.

The meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The leader at the top, his Adam's apple bobbing, forced himself to speak, "Friend, you are a superhuman, aren't you? According to the Dawn Alliance's agreement, your current actions are tantamount to declaring war on all of humanity!"

Wu Heng threw the bishop to the ground like a rag doll and then raised his hand to remove his mask.

Everyone's eyes froze instantly, their tension turning into horror and disbelief.

King Yama - Wu Heng!

Photos promoting him as a human leader can be found on the forum, and towering statues are being made in the temples of the Lingqi Cult.

Everyone is all too familiar with this look.

He actually came here to find them.

Damn it, why did I provoke the King of Hell? Why did I provoke him?
"I heard!" Wu Heng pulled out a chair and sat down near the door, his gaze sweeping over the group. "You have a lot of opinions about the Lingqi Sect?"
