Becoming a god by raising witches

Cardinal Nob Stott stared blankly at Rhaenys.

His followers all echoed the same sentiment.

"Renise, you are a heretic of the Cult of Life, and I am responsible for purging heretics!"

"Renise, you are a heretic of the Cult of Life, and I am responsible for purging heretics!"

"Renise, you are a heretic of the Cult of Life, and I am responsible for purging heretics!"

Locke swallowed hard, instinctively wanting to ignite the undead fire, but considering that Rhaenys was still present, he abandoned this spell, which was very effective against life magic.

"They were contaminated."

Renis made her judgment, and the dark power in her hand once again coalesced into the Shadow Sword.

Nob Stott holds the Code of St. Anne in his left hand and a staff symbolizing power in his right.

He chanted ancient incantations, and green runes appeared all over his body.

The runes merged into his skin, causing a mutation in his body.

Norb Stott's skin began to crack, revealing the texture of trees.

His eyes turned green, and he brandished his staff, unleashing a powerful green beam of light.

[Life punishment.]

"Get away from it."

Rhaenys transformed into a shadow and merged directly into the ground.

Locke also switched places with his clone in time; otherwise, who could dodge the speed of light?

The green orb struck Ying, instantly transforming his body from a boy into an old man, then into bones, and finally into dust. In a mere instant, he lost all traces of life.

This is the power of [life punishment], a miracle that can instantly take away a person's precious life.

Locke also felt the pain of death; veins bulged on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth, forcibly enduring it.

A healing power flowed into his body, like a warm current enveloping him, relieving his physical pain.

Locke let out a long sigh of relief.

He turned around and saw Julie Townsend.

She has long, golden hair like ears of wheat, wears a female knight's outfit, with a sword at her waist above her long skirt, and her absolute territory is covered by black over-the-knee stockings with gold trim below her skirt.

Julie Townsend, one of the Queen's three knights, has the ability to transfer damage.

The healing power I just felt must have been from her transferring the damage I had suffered.

Unfortunately, she arrived a step too late; otherwise, she might have been able to save the clone's life.

Never mind, it's just a clone; it can split again.

Locke knew she had arrived, which also meant that Katerina had received Sieg's plea for help.

He looked into the distance and indeed saw Queen Katerina's golden carriage, surrounded by high-ranking mages.

Inside the golden carriage, Katerina was talking to a young boy.

Judging from the voice, it sounds like a young boy.

"The madmen of the Church of Knowledge have finally made their move on the capital."

The boy's voice came.

"Lyosa Altman, don't laugh at this, it's a serious matter."

That's Katerina's voice.

The boy turned out to be Lyosa Altman.

The youngest pope of the Alchemist Church, Lyosa Altman.

He is said to be a genius in the field of alchemy, destined to be a pope from birth. His life is legendary, and at his age, no one can rival his brilliance.

The fact that he could ride in the same carriage as Queen Katerina was enough to demonstrate his noble status.

Locke collected his thoughts and returned to the battlefield.

He was surprised that Julie Townsend would help him. Hadn't the Queen always wanted to kill him? Or had he completely changed Her Majesty's mind, making her see him as someone new to be used?

Or perhaps Julie Townsend has her own ulterior motives?

Nob Stott launched another attack.

The green orb appeared rapidly beside Locke, but the next second, it exploded on the building behind Locke.

A six-story building decayed instantly, the floors collapsed, and it turned into ruins.

The people inside the building were not spared either, but they did not die from the collapsing building; rather, their youth was instantly taken away, and they died from decay.

This is also Julie Townsend's ability.

Distortion and transfer.

She wields the power of the Witch of Chaos.

Locke was very envious of her abilities.

"Your Excellency Julie, there are still people in that building; not all the nearby residents have been evacuated."

Locke reminded him.

"Their lives are meaningless; they will only become nourishment for the evil tree of life. Didn't you notice that you didn't really kill it just now? It's still hiding underground, starting to spread to the city. Rather than letting the living become its nourishment, I'd rather kill them in advance. Every life that dies because of me will become my power."

Julie Townsend said coldly.

"So, you want to massacre the entire city?"

Locke looked at Julie Townsend in surprise.

Julie Townsend shook her head. "Her Majesty the Queen will not allow me to do this, but the people nearby are doomed to die."

"Locke, come to me."

Renis reminded her.

Locke immediately ran behind Renis. Being with a female knight like Julie Townsend made him feel unsafe and subject to moral condemnation.

"Your Excellency Julie, has Her Majesty the Queen arrived?"

Rhaenys heeded Her Majesty's command.

Manage your own people.

If Locke were to utter a single word to the other witches, Her Majesty the Queen would execute him.

Therefore, the best way is to prevent him from contacting other witches.

"Yes, together with His Majesty Lyosa."

Renis raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it His Majesty Moises?"

It sounds like a joke that Pope Moises of the Church of Life didn't come along, but rather Pope Lyosa Altman of the Church of Alchemy came to help.

"His Holiness the Pope Moises is currently in seclusion, contemplating the true meaning of life, and no one can see him."

Julie Dodson said.

It seems Her Majesty the Queen also received a cold shoulder, which is why the Witch Knight Julie Townsend knows so much.

'What profound meaning of life? That old man's just plotting something again.'

Rhine's thoughts reached Locke's ears.

Meanwhile, the youngest pope of the Alchemist Church, Lyosa Altman, had already stepped out of the carriage.

He had short silver hair, wore a dark blue robe with gold trim, and had a youthful face that looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. He held a small prism in his hand.

He threw the prism into the sky.

The sunlight seemed to be absorbed into it, and then burst forth in an instant, dazzling and blinding, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.

"what is this?"

Locke covered his eyes and asked the knowledgeable Renis.

"The Three Worlds is Lyosa Altman's special ability to drag everything here into three separate, independent worlds so that the people of Kosork can be saved."

"Then can't we just lock the strange tree up?"

Locke asked.

"Given Lyosa Altman's wicked character, he wouldn't simply confine the Tree of Life to a world."

Renis had just finished speaking.

The bright light disappeared, and Locke found that they were still in the Cathedral of Life.

But the surrounding buildings and people had all disappeared.

The Queen's crown is still standing not far away.

Norb Stott and the corrupted believers were also there.

And then there was the enormous, chilling mass of tree roots on the ground, densely packed together like giant pythons, now completely exposed without the cover of the city.
