Chapter 658 Heresy and Rule

"Let's catch them without mercy, heretics!"

On a tall building nearby, the giant tree cultist who had transformed into a tree demon waved his hand and released vines, wrapping around Nicole and letting out a low roar.

Elena's expression changed and she quickly stepped forward to stop her.

However, three giant tree cultists also appeared around her, and the entangled branches and vines formed a prison of a sea of ​​trees.

"Great Weeping Goddess, have you abandoned us too?"

Elena's heart trembled. Even a fanatical believer would be shaken by the almost certain death situation in front of her. Her daughter Nicole had been caught by the tree demon and was about to be strangled to death.

However, at this moment.

Suddenly a red beam of light was cast in the sky, shining on Elena, and her eyes suddenly flashed with blood-red light, like two gems.

The next moment, powerful divine power emerged from Elena's body.

In an instant, the surrounding tree prisons turned into red ashes, and the giant tree cultists also wailed.

"This is..." Yara's pupils shrank.

From Elena's body, she felt an unprecedented terrifying power, as if a god had come to the world, which made people want to kneel down and surrender.

Around them, the Giant Tree Cultists also looked surprised.

Everyone could feel the power emanating from Elena's body. The aura originating from the gods immediately caused the giant tree believers to lose their will to resist, trembling and stopping their movements.

"My name is Heraya!"

Elena made a cold voice, and looked at the giant tree bishop in the distance with a pair of scarlet eyes, jumping like a flame.

"ah!!!"

The next moment, the giant tree bishop, who was the most powerful but had never made an attack with all his strength, ignited red flames and began to spread. In a moment, his whole person was swallowed up by the monster flames.

The surrounding giant tree cultists were terrified.

Beacon Town has long been ruled by the Church of the Giant Tree, so every resident here is considered a Giant Tree believer, but the degree of belief is different, divided into fanatic believers and shallow believers.

However, this moment.

Feeling the powerful divine power emanating from Elena's body, all the giant tree believers were shaken in their hearts. They uncontrollably lifted the tree demon's incarnation and knelt on the ground in submission.

"Ignorant mortals."

Helaya looked around, with a sneer flashing in his eyes. The most powerful believer of the Giant Tree Church in Beacon Town was only a first-order life form, as humble as an ant in front of the true God.

Following Enzo's orders, Helaya came to Beacon Town.

She felt the sacrifice of the Night Cultists, but she did not appear at the first time. Instead, she came to Elena in a savior-like image when the Night Cultists fell into despair.

Helaya looked around.

"Pity……"

She murmured to herself that not all the Giant Tree Cultists in Beacon Town were fanatical believers, and it was not impossible to change their beliefs.

However, Helaya would not do that.

The task assigned to her by Enzo is to provoke an all-out war between the Church of the Giant Tree and the Church of the Night, in order to lure out Gion, the God of the Green Tree. Only by massacre of the Giant Tree Cultists in Beacon Town will the impact of this incident be expanded. force.

A cold luster gradually appeared in Helaya's eyes.

Then, she slowly opened her arms, and the power originating from the gods spread at this moment. The giant tree believers around her screamed and turned into ashes after being enveloped by the divine power.

For a moment, the streets were dead silent.

At least several hundred Giant Tree Cultists were all killed by Helaya. The Night Cultists felt the power of Helaya and shouted fanatically.

"It's the Weeping Goddess who has arrived!"

"Great Weeping Goddess, please accept my humble service."

"The long night is coming, long live the goddess!"

The surrounding Night Cultists have felt the power of Heraya. Although the Church of the Night mainly believes in the Night Goddess Luciles, they also express their respect for the Weeping Goddess Heraya.

In the eyes of the Night Cultists, Heraya is a servant of the Night Goddess.

There is a status difference between the two gods, but for the Night Cultists, they are both respectful beliefs.

"The long night is coming, and only those who believe can survive forever."

Looking at the Night cultists kneeling around and surrendering, Helaya spoke softly and said, "I have eliminated the heresy of the Giant Tree Church. From now on, this city will become the place where the Church of the Night rules."

"Spread the faith of the dark night as soon as possible!"

"You are all the most loyal believers of the goddess. The sufferings in the world are all tempering for you. Only by sticking to your beliefs can you reach the other side of eternity."

Heraya's voice was vague and insubstantial, and then gradually disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the redness in Elena's eyes faded, and she collapsed on the ground. Nicole, who had just escaped from the giant tree cultivator, quickly stepped forward to support her.

"The great weeping goddess, has she finally answered my prayer?"

Elena's face was pale and she trembled and murmured to herself. Although her body was controlled by the crying goddess Helaya just now, Elena clearly perceived everything.

As an ardent believer, Elena felt very honored, even excited, for the goddess to use her body.

Next to her, Nicole also had a hint of excitement on her face.

Although they have long believed in the weeping goddess Heraya, this is the first time they have felt the brilliance of the goddess so close.

"Ahem!"

At this time, the old Bishop of the Night, with the support of the believers, stood up slowly, with a hint of excitement on his face.

Everything that just happened was seen by him.

The Church of the Giant Tree almost wiped them out, but the weeping goddess Heraya appeared in time to relieve the crisis.

"The great goddess will indeed never abandon her followers!"

The Bishop of the Night murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement. Although his sacrifice to the Night Goddess failed to receive a response, the arrival of the Weeping Goddess in person gave him great encouragement.

The three goddesses all believe in the Church of the Night.

The arrival of the weeping goddess Helaya means that the goddess has not abandoned her believers, which is undoubtedly an encouragement to the Church of the Night, which has people's hearts wandering.

At this moment, the giant tree cultists were wiped out by the goddess.

Only the shallow believers are still alive, but they have not mastered extraordinary power. Therefore, this lighthouse town has fallen under the control of the Church of the Night, and the next step is to spread the faith.

"Master Bishop, what should we do now?"

At this time, Yara also walked slowly over. Her face was extremely pale, a little overdrawn by the fighting force just now, but her eyes were shining brightly. It was obvious that the arrival of the Weeping Goddess also made her feel refreshed.

"Send a message to Kaiyuan City!"

The Bishop of the Night waved his hand and said, "Let King Kaiyuan send troops to prepare to take over Beacon City. At the same time, he is gathering some believers so that the heretics in Beacon Town will also listen to the Church of the Night Goddess."

The battle of faith has been going on for a long time.

Both parties have a certain understanding that it is difficult for fanatic believers to change their beliefs, but light believers are still worth saving. As long as the residents of Beacon Town can feel the brilliance and power of the Night Goddess, they can most likely be purified.

Therefore, for the Church of Dark Night.

When encountering casual believers of the Giant Tree Church, they will try to change their beliefs, but if they are fanatical believers, they will use powerful means to kill them.

Although fanatics are not completely incapable of changing their beliefs.

But for the Church of Dark Night, there is no need to be saved for those heretics whose souls have already fallen.

And this is just the attitude of the Church of the Night.

As for the Giant Tree Church, their methods are even more extreme. They treat fanatical believers and shallow believers alike. Anyone caught by the Giant Tree Church will be treated as a sacrifice to Gion, the God of Green Trees.

Following the orders of the Night Bishop, the believers also began to take action.

After the previous battle, almost all the top leaders of the Giant Tree Cult in Beacon City had been wiped out. Therefore, the Church of the Night did not encounter too fierce resistance in the process of controlling Beacon Town.

The night passed quickly.

In the direction of Kaiyuan City, soldiers belonging to the new king Dylan have arrived in Lighthouse City. With the help of the Church of the Night, they quickly took control of the city and planted the new king's flag on the city wall.

Early in the morning, in the central square of Beacon City.

There were thousands of people watching, and the Night Cultists and soldiers tried their best to maintain order in the square. The Bishop stood at the front, preaching the belief of the Night Goddess to the residents of Lighthouse City.

"The long night is coming, but faith endures."

"This world is about to face a catastrophic catastrophe. Only by believing in the great goddess of the night can we be protected!"

The Night Bishop chants the creed of the Church.

Then, he waved his hand, and a group of believers belonging to the Giant Tree Church were escorted to the execution platform by the soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the Night Bishop lit the torch.

Fear appeared on the faces of the believers of the Giant Tree Church. As believers of Gwen, the God of Green Trees, what they feared most was flames. After transforming into the tree demon form, they were not afraid of physical damage, but flames were their nemesis.

"The goddess of the night is the protector of the world!"

"And they have become the minions of the evil god. The only fate for heretics is to be burned to death!"

The Night Bishop's face was serious, his eyes flashing with a cold luster.

Then, he lit the fire, and the scorching flames swallowed up all the Giant Tree believers in a burst of mournful wails. A trace of unbearability appeared on the faces of the onlookers, because not long ago, this was the base of the Giant Tree Church.

Most of the residents of Beacon City have accepted the faith spread of the Giant Tree Church.

The Bishop of the Night knows this very well, so he carries out public executions. Only by making the ignorant people feel fear can they maintain awe of the goddess of the night and gradually devote their loyal faith to the goddess.

Not long after, the public execution ended.

Lighthouse City was officially ruled by the Church of the Night. Since then, three of the seven cities in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan have been occupied by the Church of the Night. The power of the new king Dylan and Prime Minister Edgar began to balance.

And on the tallest building in Beacon City.

Enzo looked at everything in the square with a thoughtful expression on his face. Ignorant civilians are the most easily deceived. Unless they become fanatical believers, their beliefs may change at any moment.

This kind of thing was like this in the age of gods.

In the First Era, when the gods ruled the world, the battle of faith was extremely cruel. Almost everyone has received the spread of faith since birth, and parents will introduce the gods they serve to their children.

In most cases, a family's beliefs are the same.

However, in the chaotic First Era, it was normal for gods to control mortals to fight each other in order to compete for faith. Therefore, some shallow believers were conquered and may change their beliefs.

Some humans even believe in multiple gods.

Although the superior gods hope that believers will remain absolutely loyal, they cannot prevent believers from serving other gods. Therefore, as long as the god a believer serves is not an enemy, everyone will let it go.

Just like the current Church of Darkness.

Although the main belief is Lucy Rais, the goddess of the night, some people worship the giant spider god or the weeping goddess more, such as Yara or Elena. Although they also believe in the goddess of the night, Lucy Rais, they do not He is not a fanatical believer of Luciles, but he firmly believes in the giant spider god and the weeping goddess.

Enzo was looking down.

At this time, Helaya suddenly appeared behind him, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, what you told me has been completed."

Enzo did not turn around and nodded lightly.

If you want to lure out Gion, the god of green trees, you must put some thought into it. Provoking a war of faith is only the first step. Under her own orders, Helaya has gone to the palace of Kaiyuan Kingdom to give the oracle to the new king Dillon.

Starting tomorrow, the war will officially begin.

However, this is a war between mortals. In order to avoid arousing the vigilance of Gion, the God of Green Trees, neither Enzo nor Helaya will personally participate. At most, they will use their extraordinary abilities to give some guidance to the new king Dylan.

If Dylan can defeat Prime Minister Edgar, then the entire Kaiyuan Kingdom will become the place ruled by the Church of the Night, and the faith of the Giant Tree Church will be mercilessly suppressed and expelled.

After that, the Kingdom of Kaiyuan will fully expand.

According to Enzo's plan, completing the unification of the Ice Plains island within three months and expelling all the believers of the Giant Tree Church should be enough to attract the attention of Gion, the God of Green Trees.

The abandoned land is divided into nine islands in total.

Among them, Lu Island, where the Cold Plains is located, has a population of more than five million, which is already a quarter of the total population of the abandoned land. Now seven countries coexist, and at least 200 people have accepted the faith of Ge Weng, the god of green trees.

However, the vast majority are shallow believers.

Only as time goes by, will these shallow believers turn into ardent believers with firm beliefs, contribute more power of faith to Gweng, the god of green trees, and help him regain his strength.

If Luyu, where the Cold Plains is located, is transformed into the base of the Church of the Night, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to Ge Weng, the God of Green Trees. The other party will inevitably take some actions in order to regain its strength as soon as possible.

As long as the God of Green Trees dares to show up, Enzo can take him down in one fell swoop.
