The sun, which had just peeked out, disappeared again, as if it had gathered all the dark clouds in the world, turning the dark sky into a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, countless bolts of electricity surged through the clouds, and the white light from the lightning illuminated almost the entire capital.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and the leaves rustled and whispered.

Just then, the electric current in the clouds poured down like a torrential rain.

One, two, a hundred, a thousand. Endless bolts of lightning converged on a single point, representing the will of heaven and earth, the most terrifying force in nature.

The world is doing its utmost to destroy the forbidden being that is awakening within Virginia.

Bathed in lightning, Virginia's platinum blonde hair danced wildly in the gale. Arcs of electricity roamed her body, yet could not harm her in the slightest. Her expression gradually revealed a mechanical coldness, an indifference to the world. At this moment, she was like a true god or demon.

Virginia slowly raised her right hand, pointing one finger to the sky, and a beam of light emanated from her fingertip, piercing through the clouds above her head.

With a "boom," the entire doomsday cloud was shattered, restoring a clear blue sky to the world.

The world seemed to have chosen to give up when faced with that supreme being.

The beam of light continued to extend, piercing the sky and reaching the edge of the firmament.

This beam of light opened a small hole in the world, and something from outside the universe drilled through the hole and followed the beam of light down to Virginia.

The beam of light began to recede, and although the sun had not disappeared this time, the surroundings became increasingly dark.

"This is the authority of the God of Light, who controls all the light in the world!" the Pope exclaimed in ecstasy.

Looking at the gradually darkening surroundings, Wu Yu understood that it wasn't that the light had disappeared, but rather that all the light had converged on Virginia, so that the world could no longer see the light.

Even the light we see everywhere is a gift from the gods.

Wu Yu had a sudden realization, and until he was completely swallowed by darkness, he remained standing still, unmoved.

"God! Let us, the lowly, behold your great form!" the Pope roared, a roar that contained his lifelong pursuit.

Suddenly, light came from afar, like the first ray of light at the beginning of chaos, illuminating all the darkness in the world.

Wu Yu also got to see what Virginia looked like again.

A pair of jade-like feet were exposed to the air, and her silver battle dress transformed into a white garment as light as silk, casually draped over her exquisite figure. The wings behind her had disappeared, replaced by six pairs of wings of light extending continuously from behind her.

The dazzling light was created by the purest power of faith. The faith wings, hundreds of meters long, covered the sky and descended to the ground. Each feather seemed to contain the phantom of a divine kingdom, and each flap marked the birth and death of an era.

A golden halo appeared above his head, with a diamond-shaped crystal on it. Wu Yu tried to use [Insight] to glimpse its secrets, but suffered a backlash that was enough to annihilate him. Fortunately, the system forcibly interrupted him, otherwise Wu Yu would have been completely obliterated.

Could this be the legendary authority? Wu Yu had a vague guess, and then looked at Virginia's face.

Those platinum eyes no longer held any human emotion, and her face began to blur. Virginia's beauty was beyond human comprehension; she had somehow made it acceptable to humans before, but now, that ever-present filter had disappeared. With just one glance, Wu Yu's mind was distorted.

"Believe in Him, He is one, He is all, He is the end of everything."

Wu Yu's will was being forcibly altered. If he continued to watch, he would probably become a fanatical follower of the God of Light. Wu Yu quickly withdrew his gaze and decided not to provoke this being any longer.

"Is this God?" It was an aged sigh, carrying a hint of relief at the fulfillment of a wish.

That was the Pope's voice. Wu Yu looked in the direction of the sound, but the scene filled him with dread.

The Pope's expression remained one of utmost piety, but a white holy flame flickered in his eyes, leaving only two bloodshot eye sockets.

Not only the Pope, but all the other cardinals were the same, their eyes turning into bloody holes as they stared at Virginia, still kneeling in their prostrate positions.

Only one priest, dressed in a black robe, with his eyes closed and his head buried deep in the ground, escaped the strange holy flames.

Wu Yu immediately ran back to the church. By then, the number of people in the church had decreased by more than half. People had come outside the church and were looking devoutly at the God of Light in the sky.

The instant they looked up, a white light shone in their eyes, then transformed into holy flames that burned their eyes.

But this time the holy flame did not just stay in the eye sockets. After the two eyeballs were burned away, the holy flame spread through the flesh and blood all over the body. People turned into ashes without feeling any pain. In the last second before death, they still had happy smiles on their lips, as if they were not welcoming death, but returning to the embrace of the gods.

Wu Yu quickly ran to the gate, blocking the people who were still trying to leave. He glanced at the gods in the sky and, trembling, revealed the truth.

"Mortals must not look directly at God!"

People were shocked and dared not go any further, but a question arose in Wu Yu's mind.

What exactly is he? Why can he look directly at the gods?
