Everyone froze instantly, even Krillin in the corner turned his gaze over.
"According to information I received when I attended a meeting at the main church,"
The man in the white robe held the glass ball in his hand. "The calling to God's Kingdom will soon expand further. At that time, not only the church's high-ranking officials, but also we will have the opportunity to enter God's Kingdom!"
"real!?"
The candle priest's eyes lit up.
"of course it's true!"
The man in white robes sneered, "Would I lie to you? Work hard, the church will not forget your contributions. In the future, these contributions will be your capital to enjoy blessings in the Kingdom of God!"
"Yes Yes."
A priest pulled out a bucket of blood from a corner, and everyone nodded quickly, their hands moving much faster.
A bright red light pattern was quickly drawn in the center of the room.
This pattern consists of six lines of varying lengths, with one end connected to the same point and the other end radiating outwards. The whole pattern looks like a singularity radiating light.
The white-robed priests placed, in turn, the decaying torches, the candles on the candlesticks, the liquid fuel lamps, the old light bulbs, the broken neon signs, and a skull at the ends of the six lines in a clockwise direction.
Then the man in white robes walked to the center of the magic circle and slowly placed the glass ball in his hand above the singularity at the very center of the magic circle.
The surrounding priests instantly produced six pendants that shimmered with golden light.
Praise be to the eternal light!
With a unified chant, shimmering golden light emanated from the pendants in their palms.
In that instant, a vast light seemed to descend from endless space and time, and then flashed by.
The next second, an invisible radiance suddenly shone from the very center of the glass sphere. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding candles, torches, broken light bulbs, neon lights, and fuel lamps all lit up without any energy input, shimmering with brilliant light.
Watching all this, the man in the white robe slowly released his grip.
The glass ball, which looked quite heavy, did not fall. Instead, it floated up slowly like a hydrogen balloon, hovering about two meters above the center of the magic circle.
The shimmering light illuminated the entire magic array.
At this moment, the man in white robes stepped out of the magic circle and looked at Klin, who was sitting in the corner.
Two white-robed priests quickly stepped forward and lifted Klin up.
The elderly man, his hair already white, gazed at the bright lights shining through the blood-red patterns, at the lamps that lit up naturally without fuel or batteries.
The scene before me was so bright, yet filled with an incomprehensible eeriness.
"Congratulations, sir, you have the opportunity to enter the Kingdom of Gods."
"
The man in the white robe looked at Klin, a gentle smile returning to his face. "You are lucky; it's an opportunity that countless people can only dream of."
"Don't try to fool me,"
Klin watched this scene, his body trembling slightly, but he continued speaking.
"Those so-called chosen to enter the 'Kingdom of God,' whether they were willing or not, even those 'chosen ones' who sold their possessions and ruined their families for your so-called eternal light, none of them came back alive. You just hate me for hindering your rampant extortion near the Storm Tower and are looking for a reason to get rid of me!"
He paused, as if gathering his courage, and then said sternly.
"I partnered with you because you promised to bring a better life to the people near Storm Tower. Look at what you've done."
"Under the guise of offering sacrifices to the gods, you are even more brutal and greedy than those gangs! You will be destroyed sooner or later!"
"It seems the old gentleman has misunderstood what we've been doing,"
Klin shook his head with a smile. "The Kingdom of God is real, and we do want you to go there and enjoy a wonderful life. As for what you said about 'excessive taxation,' there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Sometimes, they do need to do something for the Kingdom of God."
"Have those who were deceived by you, lost their food, and starved to death truly entered your so-called divine kingdom?"
The old man took a deep breath and asked in a cold voice.
"There are always some unfortunate people in this world who die before dawn. They didn't have much to begin with, and they would have died even without us."
The man in white paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "At least, your contribution is sufficient; you are eligible to enter the divine realm."
"So they deserved to die?"
Upon hearing the white-robed man's words, the old man's voice momentarily tightened, and he asked in a low growl,
Are they unfortunate people? If they didn't have to support you with their already meager income, and then be excessively exploited by you through deception, would they die?
"You ate their food and took their offerings, leaving them unable to survive the cold winter, yet you say they were destined to die? And you're doing good deeds?"
"You're excited."
The man in the white robe spoke calmly.
"If I die here, I will enter the Kingdom of God?"
The old man took a deep breath and sneered, "You yourselves just said that you didn't know that living people could enter the divine kingdom. Since you say that entering the divine kingdom is a 'gift,' can I give up this 'gift'? I'll give you this wonderful opportunity. Do you want it?"
"You still have a significant misunderstanding about us,"
The man in white shook his head. “Once you truly see the divine kingdom, you will know how wonderful it is. As for your physical body, since you have become a child of the eternal light, there is no need for your physical body from the old universe to exist.”
Before Klin could speak again, he glanced at the white-robed priests on either side and said, "Take this respected old gentleman to his proper place. The Eternal Light will not abandon any believer who has made outstanding contributions."
The priests on both sides dragged him away.
Klin walked to the only spot in the entire magic circle that wasn't lit up, where the skull was placed.
Klin struggled desperately, staring at the man in white robes, trying to say something, when the light from the glass sphere floating in the air shone on his body.
All the glowing items on the entire magic circle flickered simultaneously.
Immediately, the two priests released their grip and stepped back.
In that instant, Klin seemed to be suffering immense torment. He instantly hunched over, his angry expression twisting into a painful contortion. He tried to move from his position, but his entire body remained motionless.
He was hunched over, pressing his chest in pain.
"You people...you'll all die a horrible death..."
"Pain is all temporary,"
The man in white robes gazed at the old man and calmly said,
"Soon, you will be able to travel to the great and eternal kingdom of God, where there is no hunger."
"Do not try to resist. No one can defy the will of the eternal light. Once the ritual begins, it can never be stopped."
"Your fate has already been sealed. Resistance will only intensify your suffering. Soon, it will all be over."
He stood before the magic circle, raised his hands high, and shouted loudly,
"All living beings and the universe are sinful..."
boom--
A deafening roar drowned out his voice.
Not far from him, a towering wall instantly cracked and collapsed with a roar.
At that moment, all the priests looked up, staring in disbelief at what was happening.
They reinforced the doors and all the thin metal sheets using secret methods, but they didn't reinforce the walls, which looked very solid.
A normal person would just want to open the door; who would want to tear down a wall for no reason?
Before everyone's eyes, a young boy carrying a pure white knight's sword, wearing a red scarf and a jacket, rushed out from the smoke and dust behind the wall, kicked the white-robed man, sending him flying and crashing into the wall on the other side with a thud.
Chapter 814 Radiant Projection (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
He Ao stood amidst the dust and smoke of the collapsed cement, observing everything before him.
In fact, besides demolishing the wall, he had another plan, which was the 'finger bone fossil' called the 'knocking stone' that he obtained from Bright.
Its only effect is to allow passage through any 'door' below the level of an angel.
However, users need to pay a certain price when passing through the door.
In addition, the stone is covered with dense patterns carved in some special way, which are somewhat similar to the patterns on the bodies of the Eternal Old Cult members. There seems to be a faint trace of the power of eternal light, and it may have been transformed into some other 'uses'.
Of course, compared to paying a price to use supernatural items, it's much more convenient and faster to just demolish the wall.
He Ao's gaze swept over the ritual array beside him and the bewildered crowd standing in front of it, finally settling on Klin, whose face was contorted in pain.
He stepped back and instantly kicked a brick at his feet.
The flying bricks suddenly tore through the bright space, passed over the glowing crimson magic circle, and struck the skull next to Klin's feet in an instant.
boom--
With a soft thud, the entire skull shattered instantly, turning into flying fragments.
After losing the key ritual prop, the glowing magic circle flickered for a moment, as if swept by some flowing wind, and the ritual lamps placed around the magic circle went out instantly.
In that instant, the pain on Klin's face suddenly lessened, and then he staggered backward, falling out of the magic circle's range.
At that moment, before the dust from the collapsed brick wall had settled, a red figure rushed out from behind Heo and headed straight for Klin.
He glanced at the sky. Even after the magic circle shattered, the glass sphere in the sky still hovered in the air, emitting a faint glow.
"who are you?"
Just then, the white-robed man who had crashed into the wall stood up. He glanced at He Ao, took a step forward, and instantly conjured a golden giant sword in his hand, slashing it at He Ao.
Seeing the giant sword swinging towards him, He Ao held the scabbard of his knight's sword and gently tossed it upwards. The sharp knight's sword instantly sprang halfway out of the scabbard, blocking the oncoming knight's sword.
Immediately afterwards, He Ao's arm jerked, and the golden greatsword in the white-robed man's hand was instantly knocked away.
Grade C?
He Ao looked up at the man in the white robe.
He began to understand why this preacher held such a high position.
The opponent did not forcibly extract C-rank power through a blessing; rather, the opponent was already C-rank in itself.
"An extraordinary child? Or some kind of monster?"
At this moment, the white-robed man, who had been forced back half a step by the shock, gripped the golden greatsword, glanced at his own hand, and then fixed his gaze on He Ao's face, which was half covered by a red scarf.
