Chapter 510 The world does not need gods!

In the dim light, there was a radiance that made people want to worship.

It was as if the God of Light had finally heard the prayers of His believers, and had finally cast His gaze, which was powerful enough to penetrate the universe, upon this vast land once again, and then saw that His devout people who believed in Him were being challenged by heretics.

then……

The enraged god sent down this curtain of light, not only to protect his believers, but also to send the most severe warning to the Idar people who dared to challenge the dignity of the god.

The above... can be said to be mostly the thoughts in the minds of the Crusaders and the bishops of the Church.

after all……

When the holy city of Bethlehem was in danger and the Idar people were wantonly ravaging the city with artillery, this light curtain that appeared out of nowhere arrived late, isolating the collapsing and pouring artillery fire from the sky above Bethlehem.

This is a miracle!

This is the blessing from the God of Light!

At this moment, whether it was the greedy bishops or the soldiers who joined the Crusaders for a living, their faith in the Church of Light suddenly became extremely devout! In their eyes,

The Idar people who poured down torrential artillery fire were the incarnation of the devil from hell, and the light covering the sky above the holy city of Bethlehem was the manifestation of a miracle!

Only gods can possess such power! Only gods can allow this city to stand alone and proudly amid the Idar people's artillery fire! The panic in the holy city gradually subsided, and the people who were originally running around stopped their steps. They raised their heads, looked up at the glittering barrier, and involuntarily prostrated themselves on the ground.

God of Light!

Not to mention that the vast majority of them were believers of the God of Light, even the common people who did not believe in gods before could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground.

Even those well-trained Idar soldiers couldn't help but show obvious surprise in their eyes.

After the light curtain appeared, the cheers in the Holy City were louder than ever before.

Even though the Idar soldiers did not know the principle of the pale golden barrier, nor did they know where the barrier came from, they could clearly hear the cries of the Crusader soldiers in the city.

They were cheering for the God of Light! They were rejoicing over this sudden miracle! Could that light curtain be the work of the God of Light? Thinking of this, the Idar soldiers who were attacking the city looked at each other in bewilderment.

If the Idar army was not well-trained, if their own interests were not linked to the Idar Empire, if it were any other force's army, they would probably have to disperse at this moment.

Because... in this age full of ignorance, believers of the Church of Light are spread all over the continent, and legends of gods and gods are always circulating in this land.

Although the Idar people do not believe in gods, they do not completely ignore the existence of gods.

so……

The Idar artillery fire subsided.

They looked at each other, and then at their Emperor, Bruno Stuart.

Not only the soldiers present, but also many Idar army generals, after a moment of astonishment, focused their attention on Bruno.

Gods are indeed awe-inspiring, but... they are just awe-inspiring.

There is no doubt that as long as their emperor gives an order, these Idar soldiers will still rush forward fearlessly even if they give up the advantage of artillery! Because the gods have never granted them grace, and the gods have never pitied their misery.

The reason why the Idar Empire has developed into what it is today is not because of praying for the blessing of God, but because of themselves, and because of the leadership of Bruno Stuart, the Emperor of Idar! Moreover, as the per capita cultural level of the Idar Empire has gradually risen from per capita prenatal education to per capita primary school, the civilians of the Idar Empire have also formed a more perfect outlook on life and values.

They knew very well that if they wanted to create a paradise on earth, the only thing they could rely on was their own hands! Their own labor!

As for the gods in the rumors...even though the light curtain covering the entire Bethlehem was right in front of them, the Idar people, who had already experienced the wonders of magical technology, could not immediately believe that it was the blessing of God like the people in the city.

and……

So what if it is the blessing of God?

Why wasn't there this light curtain when the Idar Air Force attacked Bethlehem?

Who will be the final winner of this war? We have to fight to find out!! But...

The Idar soldiers' thoughts were real and pure, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Idar Empire, but... as the emperor of the Idar Empire, Bruno could not just watch his people sacrifice themselves fearlessly like moths to a flame.

after all……

Even though the Idar soldiers were full of vigor and ready for battle at any time, just like the Crusaders were at a loss when faced with the Idar people's iron torrent, the Idar soldiers knew nothing about this sudden curtain of light.

How to fight? How to fight?

This unknown existence made them full of passion, but they had no way to display it.

so……

Under the gazes of many Idar generals and soldiers, Bruno finally raised his head and said loudly:

"O'Brien I!"

Bruno's words seemed to contain infinite magic. The moment he opened his mouth, Bruno's voice resounded throughout the entire plain, not only reaching every Idar soldier, but also exploding in the ears of the Crusaders and bishops in the city.

"Do you think... you can realize your ambition of becoming a new god just by relying on the remains of a god?"

On the city wall.

Cardinal Camus Blanchard, who was about to leave the city wall under the escort of the Crusaders because of the heavy bombardment, could not help but stop.

When Bruno's words suddenly exploded in his ears, the Cardinal of the Church of Light raised his head in surprise and silently repeated the familiar yet unfamiliar name: "O'Brien I..."

As a cardinal whose status is second only to the Pope, Camus Blanchard knows very well what this name represents.

O'Brien I! In the church's scriptures, he is the representative of the God of Light on earth. He is the founder of the Church of Light. He is the first pope! He is the spiritual leader of the Church of Light! He is the person closest to God in this world!

only……

O'Brien I...

This name has only ever appeared in the most ancient books of the Church of Light, and only in chapters related to the God of Light! And now...

The young Idar Empire Emperor Bruno Stuart actually shouted out this name clearly in front of the two armies after the light curtain appeared! At this moment, Cardinal Camus Blanchard's heart was already full of huge waves, and the whole person seemed to be nailed to the spot! In the past half day, the cardinal had really experienced too many things.

For the first time, he felt the invasion of Idar's artillery fire, and for the first time, he felt the power of Idar's army.

First there was Mike's lurking, and then there was Will Roche's voluntary surrender. The Church of Light has never gained any advantage over the Idal Empire, so... just now when the Idal people's artillery fire covered the holy city, a strong sense of powerlessness arose in the heart of the cardinal.

He really didn't know how he should deal with the Idar people's offensive. After all... even the "Undead Legion" that was transferred from the Ogur Desert and directly obeyed Pope Clement V suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Boulder City.

But……

Just when the cardinal did not dare to think about the future of the Church of Light, the sudden light curtain caused Camus Blanchard's brain to crash on the spot.

To be honest, even Camus Blanchard, who was in a high position of power, had no idea where that curtain of light came from!

Even though he knew that the Church of Light was still hiding some secrets in the dark, he had never imagined that the Church of Light still had so many hidden cards.

and……

O'Brien I...

O'Brien I...

After Bruno finished speaking, the name lingered in his mind over and over again, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Could it be that...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Is the legendary first pope still alive?

Thinking of this, the cardinal couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Even though he is a believer in the God of Light, he does not believe that a person can stay in this world for thousands of years!

However……

Today is destined to be a day that will shock countless people, and it is also destined to be a day that will break the cognition of countless people! After Bruno's words fell, an old and dry voice came from the depths of the Lateran Palace in the center of Bethlehem.

"I... am already a demigod!"

Just a few words caused a huge wave of shock in the hearts of all the believers of the Church of Light!

They may not know what a demigod is, but how can anything related to gods be mediocre and ordinary? Demigod...

Is that what it means to become a god?

Or has he already kicked open the door to the path of the gods?! And...

When a shriveled and skinny figure appeared in the air over Bethlehem, many believers covered their chests to calm their pounding hearts.

The figure was extremely thin, as if a gust of cold wind could blow it away.

but……

When the appearance they saw in the classics, murals, and statues gradually overlapped with the figure floating in the air...

Everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath! That person... seemed to be the first pope, O'Brien I! It was at the moment when the first pope appeared in the sky above Bethlehem that a faint golden light emerged from the hazy light curtain, and then turned into a beam of light, slowly sweeping towards the Idar army not far away.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this light golden beam of light is just flashing a soft light, making people want to bathe in it.

However, in Bruno's eyes, hidden behind the soft and gentle light was an extremely strong and active fluctuation of divine power! The light of divine power seemed harmless and gentle like spring, but the energy contained in that beam of light was actually enough to wipe out all living things in its path! So...

When the magnificent golden light was about to sweep over Idar's army... Bruno took action! This was probably the first time he used magic in public.

Under the stunned gaze of countless Idar soldiers, their emperor seemed to be lifted into the air by an invisible force.

then……

Bruno raised his right hand, and magic power from all directions began to gather in front of Bruno. Almost in an instant, the surging magic power formed a colorful magic ribbon around Bruno.

Bruno stared at the slowly sweeping beam of light, flicked his right hand slightly, and the ribbon that gathered countless magic power suddenly turned into countless stars and condensed into projections of countless magical creatures that rushed towards the beam of light.

Cold, hot, dry, dark, full of life...

Countless magical elements intertwined and merged, forming a completely different, contradictory yet compatible magic storm, which shot towards the beam of light.

For a moment, there was shining golden light and colorful scenes.

The pillar of light symbolizing divine power collided head-on with the magic storm gathered by Bruno, splashing out countless chaotic and broken colors.

At that moment, the heaven and earth around Bethlehem seemed to freeze. The violent collision of magic power and divine power burst out a dazzling white light, exploding a pure yet chaotic source of power.

Divine power and magical power intertwined and blended, and the entire southern plains seemed to be shrouded in a powerful and chaotic wave.

Even the soldiers present seemed to be able to feel the subtle fluctuations produced by these two completely different forces in the dead silent air.

The first Pope looked at the king who looked extremely young from afar, his eyes full of shock.

He didn't understand how the Idar monarch named Bruno could rely on the surging magic power to stop the outpouring of the purest divine power.

after all……

The birth of magic power is closely related to the existence of divine power.

It is a derivative and alienation of the power of gods, a power that should not exist in this world, so... in most cases, when divine power and magic power clash, magic power will be suppressed by the most direct "bloodline".

However……

The magic power controlled by Bruno seemed to be out of the scope of this "law", and its power was even enough to resist the power of God! "The power you can call upon comes from the fallen gods after all..."

Looking at O'Brien I's surprised eyes, Bruno said in a deep voice:

"...However, the gods of the past have long since fallen, and the world of the future will not need the existence of gods at all!"

The voice fell,

The magic ribbons lingering around Bruno became increasingly solid, and even vaguely projected a power that was far more powerful than divine power!

There is a flashback, which will be returned tomorrow.
