In the first round of their contest, Hobert forced the "Black Knight" out of the darkness and quickly seized the opportunity to gain a certain advantage, throwing the "Black Knight" into a state of "disorder."
Hobert charged forward, punching his opponent to the ground: "Magnify!"
He "magnified" the next step he took, stomping the "Black Knight's" head into the ground. Just as Hobert was about to deliver another blow, the "Black Knight" under his feet recovered from the "disorder," turning into a pool of liquid and quickly flowing away.
"Distort!" Hobert "distorted" his opponent's idea of escape, making him stay in place.
Then Hobert "distorted" the distance between himself and his opponent, stomped on him, and bent down for a fierce punch: "Weaken!"
After weakening his opponent in all aspects, one punch landed, causing the "Black Knight" in his blood-flesh liquid state to cough up blood.
Bang~
Just as Hobert was about to continue his attack, he was suddenly blown away by an explosion of blood from the ground.
But this kind of explosion couldn't hurt him anymore, it just stopped his attack.
As Hobert landed on the ground, two arms like sharp blades slashed towards him. Hobert felt that these blades could cut his soul, and his spirit seemed to shrink back!
"Disorder!" Hobert plunged the space between himself and the "Black Knight" into a state of "disorder," and the "Black Knight's" attack immediately deviated in other directions.
Just as Hobert was about to launch a new round of attacks, he suddenly noticed the "Black Knight" trembling, as if enduring great pain!
Before Hobert could figure out what was happening, a crazy and twisted power spread from Hobert's feet to his whole body. His body suddenly swelled up, growing black fleshy tumors, which quickly disappeared, but then new tumors grew again!
Hobert felt like his brain was being stirred by an iron bar, and the intense pain made tears and snot flow down his face. He knelt on the ground, unable to move.
The "Black Knight" also seemed to be undergoing intense pain, but he could still slowly walk towards Hobert, obviously his pain was not as intense as Hobert's.
Because of the extreme pain, Hobert, with saliva and snot running down his face, realized with his dull brain that if this continued, he would surely die under the opponent's blade!
Hobert struggled to concentrate, and finally felt his spirit being pulled upwards.
Then everything in his sight turned black, and he arrived in the "Nation of Disorder."
Sitting on the "Iron Throne," Hobert felt his entire brain was numb, but his condition was gradually recovering.
Without time to make other arrangements, Hobert threw a surge of "Power of Order" into his star, and then immediately returned to the real world.
At this time, the "Black Knight" had already raised his blade. If Hobert had returned half a second later, he would have been decapitated.
Hobert's body was covered by a surge of "Power of Order," and his condition also recovered slightly. He rolled aside, dodging the "Black Knight's" attack.
Hobert, now kneeling on the ground again, noticed that the out-of-control shadow that had just smashed the bedroom into ruins had reattached itself to the ground at some point. Now, the out-of-control shadow was tightly embracing his own shadow.
He then realized that the out-of-control and madness he had felt just now was because the "Black Knight" had mixed his shadow with his own, causing Hobert's shadow to be severely affected by the "Black Knight's" shadow. Those effects were then transmitted from the shadow to Hobert!
No wonder the "Black Knight" was in so much pain, because he had to re-establish some connection with his own shadow in order to control it to complete such an attack.
And establishing a certain connection meant he had to be affected by the already out-of-control shadow.
After understanding the key to the problem, Hobert stretched out his hand towards the "Black Knight": "Distort!"
He "distorted" the concept of the "Black Knight" and the shadow, and the two evenly shared the out-of-control state of the shadow!
"Ugh ah~"
The "Black Knight's" flesh and blood seemed to have lost all restraint, swelling and piling up, turning the "Black Knight" into a constantly squirming monster.
...
In the special operations department of Jeffrey City, the battle in the courtyard was extremely fierce!
Angus, Helen, and a Sequence 6, each holding a Grade 2 sealed artifact, were fighting against the opponent's three Sequence 5s.
"Death!" Angus swung his deadly punch. The "Shepherd" in front of him suddenly put on a coat like the light of dawn. These rays of light quickly condensed and eventually became a golden armor!
Angus hit the enemy, only knocking him away and crashing into a wall. The enemy was not harmed as a result.
The "Shepherd" got up from the collapsed bricks and stones and charged towards Angus. The dawn light around him dissipated, and a "Blazing White Spear" appeared in his hand, and his body burned with intense flames from the inside out.
Angus raised his hand, and a South Continent-style bracelet on his wrist appeared with a layer of silvery-white luster. Opening his mouth, he uttered syllables that no one could understand and were extremely frightening.
The "Shepherd's" attack slowed down. He was stiff all over, feeling like his spirit was about to break free from his body, and the two became very uncoordinated.
Just as Angus was about to launch a new attack, the "Shepherd's" body suddenly swelled up, goat horns appeared on his head, and he exuded an evil aura.
The "Demonized" state improved the "Shepherd's" physical body and spirit, alleviating the "Undead Language's" control over the spirit. He raised his hand and issued a "Devil Language" spell: "Slow!"
Angus was already cursing in his heart: Damn it, how can I fight this?
"Im…prison!" Angus, who was knocked away by the "Demonized" enemy, tried his best to use this ability, so that the "Shepherd" could not immediately chase after him.
Angus crashed into a wall, and the wall became loose as a result.
His whole body felt like it was falling apart. He struggled twice before standing up again. He saw out of the corner of his eye that his two companions, with the help of sealed artifacts, could only barely hold off the enemy!
At this time, the "Shepherd" charged over with the "Dawn Greatsword" in hand, moving very quickly.
"Exile!" Angus concentrated and continued to fight the enemy.
Because there was a light of dawn around the opponent, other abilities did not work well. Only "Exile" could curb the enemy's offensive.
Suddenly, Angus noticed that the enemy's condition was not right. After he was pushed out by "Exile," the movement of swinging the "Dawn Greatsword" slowed down.
Almost at the same time, a man covered in flames rushed in from outside and pierced the "Shepherd's" "Dawn Armor" with a sword, piercing his chest.
Archibald, wearing a military uniform, appeared at the entrance of the courtyard: "I heard there was an enemy attack here?"
...
In the Lord's Mansion, the "Black Knight" usually accumulated some out-of-control factors, so theoretically, the out-of-control at this time would become irreversible.
In such an emergency, the "Black Knight's" pupils suddenly turned into golden vertical pupils, and the process of squirming in his flesh and blood stopped. The process of out-of-control was interrupted.
Hobert, who was also trying to recover, was waiting for this opportunity. He instantly released the seal on the two Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts, reached out and grabbed the opponent, and stole his "Herding" ability!
The "Black Knight" immediately showed a surprised expression, but his and the shadow's out-of-control had been temporarily soothed and deeply hidden in the depths of his heart, and would not erupt for a while.
Hobert took the opportunity to rush over and kick the enemy away, and the courtyard wall was knocked down.
At this time, Hobert had time to pick up the blade not far away. Suddenly, he looked in the direction of the "Black Knight," where an unfamiliar, black, and strong figure appeared: "All living things are forbidden here!"
"Distort!" Hobert distorted the other party's prohibition into: All beings who were once alive are forbidden here!
The smoke and dust from the courtyard wall dissipated. In the dim moonlight, Hobert saw a majestic and semi-transparent figure. His judgment was correct, it was an evil spirit!
After realizing that he could not use the "Grazing" ability for a while, the "Black Knight" decisively ended the herding of this evil spirit.
This evil spirit was a demigod-level evil spirit that he "grazed", with the strength of a "Imperative Mage".
Because it was originally an evil spirit, after being released, its soul did not enter the spirit world, but quickly turned the Lord's Mansion into its territory.
Hobert's "distortion" made the evil spirit's prohibition detrimental to it!
"Deprive!" It then deprived the content of the previous "prohibition".
The "Black Knight" took advantage of Hobert's confrontation with the "Imperative Mage" evil spirit to merge into the shadows again. At this time, his condition was very poor, and he had to quickly find a place to lick his wounds.
"Bestow!" How could Hobert let the opponent leave!
Although his out-of-control state had ended, the previous out-of-control still made him very weak. He "bestowed" his "weak" state to the "Black Knight"!
The "Black Knight's" shadow paused slightly, and the balance he had managed to maintain was in danger of collapsing again!
The "Imperative Mage" evil spirit sketched an evil smile and stretched out his hand to Hobert: "Imprison!"
This stopped Hobert's pursuit!
The evil spirit was not covering up the "Black Knight's" escape, it simply didn't want anyone else's intentions to succeed.
Being in a "grazed" state for a long time had eroded much of the evil spirit's wisdom. Now it was almost fighting purely on instinct.
"Connection!" Hobert strengthened the Connection between the "Black Knight" and the "evil spirit", which seemed to remind the evil spirit of something. The hand it stretched out to Hobert stretched out to the "Black Knight" again: "It is forbidden to escape here!"
The "Black Knight's" escape attempt seemed to immediately encounter great resistance.
Hobert took this opportunity to use a range ability: "Corruption!"
The evil spirit immediately fell into a "corrupted" state, and some of the emotions it suddenly possessed became nowhere to put.
The black shadow formed by the "Black Knight" paused obviously. He usually had too many "corrupted" emotions and memories. At this time, his own state was completely affected by the "corruption" and became very unstable.
After leaving the "imprisoned" state, Hobert chased after him while using another range ability: "Corrosion!"
The two consecutive abilities were very targeted, making the "Black Knight's" state worse.
Hobert also used "distortion" to finally catch up with the "Black Knight": "Magnify!"
Another fierce kick directly kicked the "Black Knight", who was struggling to fight the negative state, out of his shadow form and back into human form.
Hobert "distorted" the distance again and stabbed the opponent's chest with a blade.
Blood gushed out for a while!
Bang~
The blood once again blasted Hobert away.
But the "Black Knight's" out-of-control began again. This time he couldn't herd the souls of the "Spectator" pathway, and once the out-of-control process started, it would be difficult to stop!
Hobert, who was blasted away, reached out to the "Black Knight": "Distort!"
He "distorted" the other party's intention to resist the out-of-control state, and "distorted" it into allowing the out-of-control state to develop.
Although the time for the "Black Knight's" intention to be "distorted" was very short, it was enough to make him completely out of control and unable to form an effective confrontation.
At this time, the evil spirit was attracted by the blood, opened its illusory mouth, and devoured a mouthful of blood. Then it was like a layer of black gauze, covering the "Black Knight's" body.
Hobert held the blade, looked at the "Black Knight's" painful expression, and watched the evil spirit prepare to occupy this body that was beginning to lose control.
He didn't immediately step forward, but looked for opportunities to kill one of them, while also guarding against the "Black Knight's" escape.
The "Black Knight" finally made a choice, he began to allow his own out-of-control, and even accelerated the process of out-of-control.
Then his shadow stood up again, completely discharged the shadow's out-of-control into his body, and then the shadow left the body and strode away.
"Arrogant!" Hobert knew that the other party must have a way to escape.
The escaping shadow seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something, stomping its feet and wandering in place.
Hobert immediately chased after him: "Psychic Pierce!"
This was the ability of "1-107". The demigod-level mental piercing made the shadow seem to be about to explode, and it covered its head hard.
"Whip of Pain!" Hobert launched a new offensive, and tentacles, goat hooves, and other shapes began to appear on the shadow's body. It began to lose control again!
Bang~
Just as Hobert was staring at the shadow, the "Black Knight's" body suddenly cracked open, and a monster with only two legs, no arms on its shoulders, and a bird-like head fell out of it.
This monster was covered in mucus. It was only about the size of a seven- or eight-year-old child. After falling out, it ran away without saying a word!
The evil spirit hesitated as it looked at the escaping monster. In the end, it continued to choose to possess the pile of out-of-control flesh and blood.
Hobert quickly chased after him. At this time, he realized that the escaping shadow was just a cover. The "Black Knight" was not only once a "Shadow Ascetic", he was also once a "Rose Bishop".
When he realized that his out-of-control was irreversible, he simply stripped away his flesh and blood that had not yet lost control, gave the out-of-control flesh and blood to the evil spirit, and used the shadow to confuse Hobert.
After Hobert chased after him, two thin wings suddenly grew out of the opponent's back, and he actually flew into the sky.
Hobert "distorted" gravity and followed into the sky.
But once in the sky, "distorting" distance couldn't catch up with the winged monster.
So Hobert chanted a spell: "Lean Horse!"
Maximilian immediately appeared, and after receiving Hobert's command, carried Hobert to chase after it.
The monster's somewhat bizarre face immediately revealed a look of surprise. Flying was his last resort for escape, but he didn't expect Hobert to still catch up!
The "Black Knight" wasn't like the demigods of the "Rose School" and the Blood Sanctify Sect, who could summon angels to help. If he summoned angels from the True Creator Church, he would likely be besieged by angels from the orthodox churches.
Moreover, it was almost impossible to do so in a hurry. After all, the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" was a place similar to having a seal. Even the True Creator couldn't directly send power to the North and South Continents, let alone angels.
Hobert waved the sword in his hand, about to slash at the monster, but who knew Maximilian would rush up and bite the monster's head.
With a forceful chew, brains splattered everywhere!
Hobert was slightly stunned. This was too brutal!
The monster's wings flapped desperately, as if struggling.
Hobert leaned forward on the horse's back and pierced the monster's chest. The headless monster hung on the sword.
This monster wanted to grow a head again, but his body, which wasn't large to begin with, didn't have enough flesh. After growing for a long time, it only grew some pink flesh, and the thin legs were "borrowed" by other places.
Finally, the fleshy lump on Hobert's sword stopped wriggling, completely losing all signs of life.
Hobert smiled: "The first Sequence 4."
Returning to the Lord's manor, before landing, Hobert saw the "Black Knight's" out-of-control flesh and evil spirits, forming a creature like a toad, with short limbs, a huge body, and a flat head, covered with a layer of bumpy skin.
Seeing Hobert, the monster opened its mouth: "Flying is prohibited here!"
Maximilian quickly descended, and Hobert distorted the distance, so they landed almost steadily.
Jumping off the horse, Hobert first shook the meatball-like monster corpse off the sword.
The monster's long mouth opened again: "The use of weapons is prohibited here."
The sword in Hobert's hand immediately became very heavy, but he didn't drop the sword. Instead, he smiled and said, "Do I need to use weapons to deal with you?"
If that evil spirit hadn't possessed those flesh, it might have lived a little longer.
Unfortunately, it didn't have much sanity.
Hobert stretched out his hand: "Disorder!"
The monster's surroundings immediately fell into a state of disorder. It was about to open its mouth to continue "prohibiting," but suddenly realized that its power seemed to be drawn away.
"Tamper!" Hobert used two abilities in a row, causing the "toad" in front of him to collapse rapidly.
Hobert guessed that the "Black Knight's" Beyonder characteristics were on that escaped monster. The reason why the remaining flesh was still collapsing was likely because the Beyonder characteristics of the souls "grazed" by the "Black Knight" were still in those out-of-control flesh.
Although the process of "grazing" was a way to control other souls and Beyonder characteristics by combining body and spirituality, once the "shepherd" began to lose control, the "grazed" Beyonder characteristics would accelerate the process of losing control.
So the "Black Knight" should have simply abandoned them all together.
Hobert's "Disorder + Tamper" was to temporarily extract those Beyonder characteristics from the flesh. As expected, these flesh collapsed.
The flesh spread out, leaving only the evil spirit standing there in a daze.
"Distort!" Hobert tried to "distort" the state of the evil spirit, so that it would become a true soul, and the underworld could start to absorb it again.
At this time, the evil spirit seemed to have regained its senses, resisting Hobert's "distortion."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert went to the ruins over there and found the "Spirit Wine Glass."
At this time, the evil spirit also broke free from the "distorted" state. Hobert held the wine cup: "Underworld Gate!"
The bronze door with heavy mystical patterns appeared, and just opening a small gap seemed to suck in the surrounding temperature. Even Hobert couldn't help but shiver.
Arms stretched out, and malicious gazes looked outside. Terrifying roars came, and the evil spirit stood there motionless. The underworld had a natural oppressive feeling towards evil spirits.
Hobert stretched out his hand towards the evil spirit: "Disorder!"
The evil spirit immediately fell into a "disordered" state, walking step by step towards the Underworld Gate.
Just as it was about to enter the "Underworld Gate," it broke free from the "disordered" state: "Banish!"
Whoosh~
The "Underworld Gate" was "banished" outside the Lord's manor, and the influence of the underworld on this place was weakened a lot.
"Weaken!" Hobert weakened the state of the evil spirit, making it look more transparent: "Tamper! Distort!"
Hobert used "Distort + Tamper" to try to distort the connection between the evil spirit and its source of power. In theory, the existence of the evil spirit must have something providing it with power.
Hobert only had a concept of this and didn't know what that thing was, so he just tried to distort and tamper.
This attempt worked very well. The already very weak evil spirit became ethereal, like a flame about to go out, as if it had been hit in the soft spot.
Hobert seized the opportunity and cut the evil spirit in half with a single blow.
His black blade also had considerable restraint against evil spirits.
The evil spirit didn't move, shrinking into a ball of shadows. The Beyonder characteristics began to separate.
Hobert then ended the summoning of the "Underworld Gate." Just as he was about to find a nightgown, he suddenly discovered that the meatball he had thrown on the ground was gone!
The "Black Knight" wasn't dead yet!
"Connect!" Fortunately, the other party's state was now extremely poor, and Hobert easily found the other party's trace.
The "Black Knight" had been rolling away to escape and was about to escape from the Lord's manor, but at this time, he began to lose control for the third time!
This was the loss of control hidden in the subconscious by the soul of the "Spectator" pathway! At this time, because he had too little flesh, he couldn't maintain his own state at all, and those losses of control finally broke out!
This time, the "Black Knight" still couldn't "graze" the souls of the "Spectator" pathway, nor could he peel off his own flesh. The "Black Knight" was completely unable to suppress the process of losing control.
Hobert stabbed the expanding meatball with a blade, and the expansion process stopped immediately. The "Black Knight" could no longer maintain his life and died.
Soon Hobert discovered that the "Black Knight's" Beyonder characteristics were gathering towards the skin on the outer layer of the meatball!
Hobert was slightly stunned: This, this is going to form a sealed artifact? But he only lost control for a short while!
Then Hobert thought again: You can't say that either. In the battle just now, this "Black Knight" had accumulated too many factors of losing control. Although he used various methods to eliminate a lot of loss of control and madness, in essence, his loss of control was already very serious.
Hobert kicked the meatball back to the backyard, which had become a ruin, and went to the ruins of the bedroom to find a nightgown to put on.
Looking again at the flesh that had lost control of the "Black Knight," there were indeed three Beyonder characteristics that were separating out. Those were the characteristics of the Beyonders who had been "grazed" by the "Black Knight."
Only after the "Black Knight" died, or released the soul, could these souls end the painful "grazing" process and return to the underworld, becoming normal souls, and the Beyonder characteristics could begin to separate out at this time.
Hobert picked up three Beyonder characteristics and at the same time discovered that there was still a piece of flesh wriggling in these seemingly lifeless flesh!
After a little thought, Hobert understood. Before, in the urgency of the situation, when the "Black Knight" peeled off his collapsing flesh, these flesh must still contain some of his Beyonder characteristics.
This was very similar to digging out a piece of flesh from an Beyonder after his death, when the Beyonder characteristics had not yet separated out. This piece of flesh must contain some Beyonder characteristics.
If it was a "high sequence" Beyonder, such a piece of flesh was likely to form a sealed artifact.
Hobert held the three Beyonder characteristics and pushed them towards "Lean Horse": "Choose one!"
Maximilian turned his head and raised his chin towards the wriggling flesh. Hobert was stunned: "You want this 'mutated flesh'?"
Maximilian immediately nodded.
Hobert then picked up the blade and dug out the piece of flesh. Maximilian took the piece of flesh back to the underworld.
At this time, the Beyonder characteristics of the evil spirit had been separated out. Hobert held it in his hand. Without going to the "Nation of Disorder," he could be sure that this was indeed an Beyonder characteristic of an "Imperative Mage"!
At this time, Archibald and Angus and others led people to support them.
When they saw that the backyard had almost become a ruin, they were a little worried at first, but when they saw the Lord squatting on the ground peeling a meatball-like thing, they breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord!" "Sir!"
In fact, the peeling process was not difficult, like peeling off a piece of cloth with black starlight from a strangely shaped meatball.
Archibald and others then realized that this was actually a sealed artifact.
Hobert shook the skin and asked Angus and others: "Did you also suffer an attack?"
"Yes." Angus said first: "Fortunately, there was a warning from the 'Astrologer,' and we made some preparations.
"The enemy has 3 'Shepherds,' and a total of more than a dozen Sequence 6 and Sequence 7s.
"Thanks to Chief of Staff Archibald's timely arrival, he helped us solve those three 'Shepherds.'"
Then Archibald reported: "A 'Shepherd' led the team to attack the barracks. I seriously injured him, and the other attackers have been solved by me. The spoils will be presented to the Lord's manor later."
As he spoke, Archibald's two puppets escorted the "Shepherd" over.
Hobert nodded: "Very good, turn him into your puppet! This is your reward!"
Since Archibald was so particular about the rules, Hobert certainly didn't object to him having another puppet.
"Yes! Thank you, Lord!" Archibald connected the spiritual line of the "Shepherd" who had already fallen into a coma and quickly turned him into a puppet!
Hobert said to Angus again: "When you faced the enemy's surprise attack, you didn't rush to the Lord's manor to support, but stuck to your posts. You did a good job. Everyone will be credited once."
Angus was about to say that it was Captain Dunn's suggestion, but the Lord's reward had been announced, and it was a little inappropriate to say this at this time.
So Angus decided to report to the Lord when he had the opportunity to meet Hobert alone.
Hobert, wearing a nightgown, ordered: "Now you go back to prepare, send the wounded to the hospital, and set off in twenty minutes to cross the river with me and completely recover the west bank of Full Moon Lake!"
He ordered Archibald: "You and Seel lead the other Beyonders in the Defense Force to lead the team, closely following behind to completely occupy the west bank!"
Hobert said to the butler Allen and others: "Go find out if there are any wounded in the ruins, and come to repair the Lord's manor tomorrow!"
After everyone left, Hobert first sacrificed this time's loot to the "Nation of Disorder," and then pulled up the "Traveler's Gate" that had fallen on the ground and leaned it against the wall.
Opening the "Traveler's Gate" and arriving at the Earl's mansion in Backlund, Fors, who was waiting anxiously, immediately rushed over and hugged Hobert.
Then she looked Hobert up and down. Seeing that he hadn't suffered any injuries, she felt relieved.
"The problem has been solved." Hobert smiled and said, "That group of lunatics from the Aurora Order actually took the initiative to attack the actual leader of the South Colson area."
Fors asked: "Was Jeffrey City attacked?"
"It was also attacked, but fortunately, Angus responded, no, I think it was the experienced Captain Dunn's response." Hobert smiled and said, "They protected the city and the people."
Then he said: "You rest here for a while, I have to lead the team to kill to the other side of the river, you go back tomorrow morning!"
Fors immediately said: "I want to join the battle too!"
Hobert thought for a while, the main force of the Aurora Order on the west bank should have come to attack and died in Jeffrey City. He looked at Fors's eager eyes and nodded: "Okay, don't leave my side."
Hobert nodded to Dophis outside, indicating that the crisis was over. Then the couple closed the door and quickly changed into Feynapotter-style combat uniforms.
When they returned to Jeffrey City, Angus and Helen's two teams were ready to go.
Hobert led more than 30 Beyonders to the outside of the city and joined Archibald and others who were already waiting here.
Now in the Defense Force, in addition to Archibald and Seel, there are already 5 "Hunters," 3 "Warriors," and 1 "Sailor."
They were all Beyonders who had made contributions in the process of suppressing bandits and were given potions by Hobert.
Hobert led the members of the Special Operations Department to cross the river first. When they arrived on the other side of the river, it was already dawn.
There were Beyonders from the Aurora Order on the pier. They were waiting here to meet the attackers tonight, but they waited for the enemy to cross the river by force!
Seeing that the leader of this group was only a Sequence 6, Hobert allowed Angus and others to rush up and fight them.
After quickly resolving the battle, Hobert gave the "Spirit Wine Glass" to Angus, asking him to conduct spirit channeling and learn about the important strongholds of the Aurora Order.
According to Angus's description, it was a church built on the mountainside.
Hobert didn't expect that the Aurora Order would actually build a church on the west bank!
Just as Hobert had guessed, the entire raid encountered no real resistance.
Only on the way to the church, there were many corpses hung on javelins. Upon closer inspection, they had all been skinned.
Yet on their faces, devoid of skin, there was a strange smile, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Hobert believed that the rule of the Aurora Order's lunatics was no better than that of demons.
At this moment, the Beyonders in the church seemed to know that the sneak attack had failed, but they did not intend to escape. Instead, they were devoutly and fanatically praying before the idol, and then rushed madly towards Angus and the others.
Hobert looked around. Among the enemies, there was only one Sequence 5, who was being besieged by Angus, Helen, and two other Sequence 6 members, each wearing Sealed Artifacts.
So Hobert still did not act. Instead, he looked at the huge inverted cross in the church.
Since he had subordinates, and they could handle the situation, Hobert naturally didn't need to take action himself.
Fors also seemed to have received Hobert's signal, only taking out the "Leymano's Travels" without participating in the battle.
The battle ended quickly, with more than a dozen enemies killed. Angus once again performed spirit channeling and learned of some other strongholds of the Aurora Order.
Because there were too many strongholds and no Beyonders with too much strength at the moment, the Special Operations Division was divided into four teams to carry out raids separately.
However, there was not much of a surprise attack effect at this time. It was more of an action to kill as many as possible.
Hobert and Fors stayed at the church, along with one Sequence 7 and two Sequence 9 members to protect the lord.
Saying it was protection was actually just staying here to run errands when the lord needed them.
While everyone was waiting for Archibald to occupy the area, Hobert saw groups of ordinary people gathering at the foot of the mountain. Even on the hillside, he could feel their eager gazes towards the church.
Having had the experience of taking territory from the hands of demons before, Hobert thought for a moment and came up with a solution.
He first stretched out his hand towards the church: "Tamper!"
Rumble~
Hobert "tampered" the mechanical structure of the tall church's foundation, and the church immediately collapsed.
However, the inverted cross in the church pierced through the dome and still stood tall.
Under the light of dawn, the cross and the inverted idol on it actually had a sense of holiness, especially the idol's single eye, which seemed to be made of gemstones, reflecting a scarlet light.
"Do not look directly into His eyes," Hobert reminded the others, "Evil Gods are also Gods."
Fors immediately averted her gaze from the eye and observed other parts of the idol: This is the image of the True Creator! I've only heard 'The Sun' describe it before. This is the first time I've seen it in the real world!
The believers at the foot of the mountain became even more fanatical, almost running up the mountain.
The Beyonders protecting Hobert were a little flustered. There were so many enemies, and they were just ordinary people. How should they deal with them? Could they kill them all?
"You don't have to worry about anything later!" When the believers rushed close, Hobert stood in front of the idol and began to pray.
Seeing that the believers were about to rush to Hobert, his three subordinates were even prepared to use force to protect the lord. Just then, a huge sense of oppression appeared in the sky.
Fors and the three members of the Special Operations Division looked behind them together. A majestic figure flashing with black light appeared in mid-air.
That figure sat on a throne made of swords, wearing armor emitting a black, holy light, and a crown also emitting a holy light. Unfortunately, they could not see the other party's face clearly, only their eyes flashing with black mist!
A huge sense of oppression swept over them, and absolute majesty shook everyone's hearts!
The Beyonders next to Hobert immediately knelt down. At this moment, they seemed to support this solid figure from the bottom of their hearts, unwilling to disobey any of his orders.
The majestic aura spread around, and the fanatical, mad cultists also looked at the mid-air in disbelief.
After becoming a demigod, as long as one holds the Black Emperor card, ordinary people can see the image of the 'Creator'.
That black light was so holy, and that huge figure was so majestic.
This is the power of God!
The inverted idol's eyes turned and also looked at the mid-air, as if projecting an extremely evil gaze.
Sitting on the "Iron Throne," Hobert sneered slightly, stretched out his hand, and a surge of majestic "Power of Disorder" descended, entangling the idol.
Crack~
The idol, made of an unknown material, cracked and quickly collapsed. The idol's scarlet eyes lost all their light.
The believers seemed to sense something and began to worship the "Creator" in mid-air.
At this time, the wave-like oppression in the sky disappeared, replaced by the demigod-level oppression emanating from Hobert: "God says: Do not believe in Evil Gods!
"Today, you have seen the face of God, you should believe in the true God! Pray on time, offer sacrifices regularly!
"Besides the 'Creator,' you shall have no other gods;
"You shall not make idols for yourselves;
"..."
