Chapter 489 Priest (2/2)

In the hall, everyone's face was filled with obvious fanaticism. They all knew that today would be the day when the Adus Crusade would officially begin, and the day when their secret beliefs for many years would be officially promoted in a country. For the entire Northern Ufeija Savior Adventist Sect, this was undoubtedly an extremely important day. They firmly believed that their feat would play an important role in the revival of the Glorious Savior. Prayers and chants mixed together and echoed between the huge pillars of the temple. The only thing that could drown out these sounds was the occasional muffled thunder in the sky.

In the ancient temple of seven thousand years ago, devout priests paid homage to gods that did not originally belong to this temple, and each of them focused their attention on the exquisite and magnificent altar of the Savior.

This is the altar that was erected in this temple at the beginning of this era. At that time, this prayer church was still a church dedicated to the True Glory Lord. After the Three Saints entered northern Uffiga, the Three Saints' altar was built here. After the Savior's Adventist Sect and the revolutionary army invaded Addis, this place was occupied by the Savior's Sect. The Three Saints' altars inside were all destroyed, leaving only the Savior's altar, returning the entire church to its appearance a thousand years ago.

In the eyes of the Savior's Adventist Sect, what they did in the Prayer Church was an act of returning to the original source. They wanted to offer the most sincere prayers for the great activities of the Savior's Adventist Sect in the new century in this church of God that had belonged to them thousands of years ago. Every priest looking at the Savior's altar had eager eyes, and many of them linked the fate of Adus with the fate of this Prayer Church and expressed their expectations loudly.

"Lord! Please send down your grace and let the whole of Adus return to the correct path of faith. Let Adus return to your grace after a thousand years, just like this prayer church!"

"boom!!"

As the prayers about the Prayer Church echoed loudly in the temple, a dazzling white light fell straight down from the dark clouds in the sky, curved towards the ground, penetrated through the hole in the ceiling of the temple, and struck directly in front of everyone's eyes.

Suddenly, dazzling lightning accompanied by deafening thunder filled the entire temple. The priests in the temple were stimulated by the sound and light and covered their eyes and ears for a moment, and everyone had a painful expression on his face.

After a moment, the white light disappeared, the roar gradually died down, and the entire temple returned to silence in an instant. The priests who had been praying devoutly in the temple were all in shock at this time. They all curled up with expressions of tension and surprise on their faces. They had never imagined that the church where they prayed that day would suddenly be struck by such a lightning bolt for no reason. Feeling the lightning at such a close distance, no one could remain calm in a short period of time.

However, an even greater shock was yet to come. When the people in the temple came to their senses from their shock, they discovered that the altar of the Savior that they had been worshipping had completely disappeared. Instead, it was shattered into a charred ruin. From the remaining traces of the ruins, they could vaguely see the remains of the altar.

Looking at everything in front of them, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and everyone had an incredible expression on their face.

"This... this... what's going on?"

"It's thunder... It's the thunder just now..."

"The Lord's altar was actually shattered by lightning..."

The priests of the Savior sect looked at everything in front of them in amazement. They prayed wholeheartedly, hoping to get the protection of their gods, but what they got was not the grace of God, but the destructive thunder instead!

For this sudden phenomenon, everyone subconsciously began to look for a suitable explanation. Some thought it was a coincidence, some thought it was the appearance of the Savior, and some thought it was the anger of the Three Saints. Just when everyone was thinking wildly, a female voice came from above.

"This land, this country, this temple... does not belong to the Lord and Savior..."

Hearing the voice, everyone raised their heads and looked upwards. What they saw was a figure slowly falling from the sky.

Her dark jade-like skin was adorned with numerous exquisite gold ornaments. Her simple white dress outlined her graceful figure. Under the golden crown that was integrated with her headscarf were solemn eyes and a mysterious veil. Just like that, the woman in exotic clothes slowly descended from the sky, stood on the shattered ruins of the altar, and appeared in front of the priests of the Savior's sect. The priests with a certain degree of knowledge discovered that what the woman was wearing seemed to be antiques that could only be excavated from the Beiwu ancient tombs. These were items from the ancient dynasty that had disappeared for seven thousand years.

"Who are you? Are you responsible for that thunder?"

"You are able to attract evil lightning to smash the Lord's altar. Are you one of those heretics? Do you know what disrespectful thing you have done?!"

Faced with the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared before them, some priests who had come to their senses pointed their fingers forward and shouted loudly, while the woman spoke softly.

"Evil thunder? Haha... In this land, it was once regarded as a sacred thing, but now it is called evil by mediocre people. It is not me who is disrespectful, but you..."

"Shut up! This is the Lord's church! Not a place for you to talk nonsense!" A priest at the scene shouted angrily at the woman, but the woman was completely unmoved by the shouting and continued to speak slowly.

“I have just said that this temple, this country, and this land do not belong to any savior or any three saints… Since seven thousand years ago, there has only been one master here.

"That... is the God I serve! The ancient enlightenment! The teacher of knowledge! The ruler of thunder! The great judge of heaven! Born from this land, the only ruler under this sky!"

The woman said so. Listening to her words, the priests in the temple were all at a loss, but the woman ignored them. Then she opened her arms and spoke loudly like a declaration.

"My name is Isis, and I am a priest serving the Judge of Heaven! After seven thousand years of slumber, the Judge of Heaven has awakened from his long sleep. We will carry out His will and drive out all the foreign gods that occupy this land! This land will be under the wise rule of the Judge of Heaven, and it all starts with Adus.

"You followers of the alien gods, return what you have occupied and leave here! Go back to where you belong, and I will forgive your offense..."

With a domineering aura, wearing accessories and clothes that she had stolen from the museum last night and modified, and with a nervous mood, Nephnis spoke frankly, and naturally, her words directly angered the priests in front of her.

"Nonsense... Capture her!" With a shout, the priests around rushed towards Nefernis, while Nefernis stood there silently, motionless in the face of the impending crisis.

At this moment, in the hidden space of the temple, Dorothy, who was in charge of the temple's defense system, also took action. With a thought, she summoned several lightning bolts from the thick clouds in one breath, striking the believers who attacked Nefernis.

All of a sudden, white thunder fell from the sky like rain and fell into the temple. All of a sudden, the deafening sound shook the entire Addis.

I couldn't help falling asleep while typing...
