With a look of panic, the Savior priest hurriedly ran to Mukhtar in the negotiation room. Upon seeing this, Mukhtar immediately turned the matter over to him and spoke sternly.
"Tell me, what's going on over there? How are these mines caused?"
Mukhtar finished speaking, and then waited for the priest's response. At the same time, everyone else's eyes were fixed on him. After the priest took a breath, he spoke with a slightly trembling voice.
"According to... according to the Qiguang Church, they were attacked by a thunderstorm, the altar on the main cathedral was smashed, and most of the people who stayed at the scene died...
"Thunderstorm... How could such a large-scale thunderstorm appear out of nowhere? Is someone doing something wrong?!" After listening to the priest's response, Mukhtar spoke in a sharp voice, and then turned his eyes to Vanya and the others on the side. It was obvious that he meant that there was a conspiracy of the special envoys behind this.
Mukhtar said loudly with an accusatory tone. He thought that strange things of this magnitude must have been caused by a powerful extraordinary force that was hostile to the Savior Party. And such an extraordinary force in the city of Addis was undoubtedly the special envoys from the Holy Mountain, so he directly blamed the special envoys.
Regardless of the facts, such accusations are definitely beneficial to Mukhtar's side. With this thunderstorm attack, they can completely clear out the special envoys and then put the blame for the thunderstorm attack on the Prayer Church on the special envoys. The cause of the incident turned out to be that the special envoys attacked the Savior's Prayer Church without following the rules, causing heavy casualties, and the Savior was angry and retaliated.
After slightly reversing the order of events, the Savior's behavior that day seemed much more legitimate. It wasn't that we, the Savior, were unsportsmanlike and bullied the weak by killing the special envoys during the negotiations, but that these special envoys were ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and attacked the Savior's church and killed many people. The Savior was completely fighting back to get rid of the special envoys. In this way, the Savior's behavior seemed much more moral.
The cause of the thunderstorm was unknown at the Qi Guang Church. This was the answer Mukhtar wanted to hear about the attack, and it was also the most likely answer. However, what Mukhtar did not expect was that the answer given by the priest in front of him was far beyond his expectations.
"Yes... Mr. Mukhtar, what you said is right. This thunderstorm was indeed caused by someone. According to the survivors at the Prayer Light Church, this thunderstorm was summoned by a local woman from Beiwu named Isis. She claimed that she was a priestess of the Judge of Heaven! She said that she was the spokesperson of the gods who ruled this land before the Lord..."
"The Judge of Heaven..."
Hearing the priest's response, Mukhtar's eyes widened slightly, and more people at the scene showed deeper confusion. Shadi could suddenly feel that Setut, who was with him, had a very intense reaction after hearing the priest's words. This was something he had never encountered in all these years.
"Hey... Setut, what's wrong with you? Your spirit is a little unstable..."
"Heavenly Saint Master, Priest... How is it possible... Could it be that Heavenly Saint Master..."
Setut murmured to Shadi in his heart with an obviously surprised tone, and then the priest who delivered the message continued to speak.
"Yes... the Judge of Heaven. According to what the priest said, the Judge of Heaven is the original god who rules this land and the only supreme god. The priest said that we and the three false gods are shameful usurpers. She is going to judge us now and put this land on the right path!"
The priest had just finished speaking, and when Mukhtar wanted to respond, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. The powerful perception of the Extraordinary "Light" reminded him that a powerful spirituality was gathering above him and danger was imminent, so he began to take action and activated his extraordinary ability.
"boom!"
Before the people at the scene could react too much to the priest's words, strange changes occurred all around. Along with a flash of dazzling light outside the negotiation hall, the huge dome ceiling of the negotiation hall suddenly shattered. Amid the falling rocks, a thick ray of lightning fell straight down from the broken dome, and in full view of everyone, it struck the ground and hit Mukhtar directly on the head. For a moment, Mukhtar and several priests around him were submerged in the dazzling light, and their figures could not be seen clearly at all.
There was a deafening roar and dazzling light. Under the extremely fierce and close-range lightning strike, many people in the negotiation room were briefly unconscious. When they recovered, they saw a scene of devastation.
The originally elegant and dignified negotiation hall had now become a ruin in some places. The dome of the ceiling was broken, and the place where Mukhtar had stood had turned into a charred pit. The exquisite marble floor was shattered into slag, and the furniture was broken into burnt debris. In the stone pit, there were several charred corpses scattered among them. These... were all the followers around Mukhtar before. After just one lightning strike, they had turned into charcoal-like corpses.
In the center of the stone pit, there was a figure standing. It was Mukhtar. He stood motionless in the center of the pit, his clothes all over his body were on fire, and large areas of exposed skin on his body were covered with a layer of charred black. He seemed to be in a shaky state.
However, although Mukhtar's body was shaky and his face showed pain, he never fell down. After being struck by lightning, he slowly opened his eyes, and then his cracked lips slowly opened.
"The heart is stronger than matter, the soul is stronger than the body, the suffering of the flesh cannot shake the steadfast faith..."
As he muttered, Mukhtar's body began to move. The flames on his clothes began to go out, and then the injuries on his skin disappeared, but his body became firm again and the pain on his face disappeared.
Although Mukhtar was covered in wounds and his clothes were torn, looking very embarrassed at this time, a strange invisible aura of majesty emanated from him and spread around, making everyone subconsciously dare not look down on him. After seeing this scene, Gaspare beside Vanya couldn't help but say.
"This is the experience of soul substitution... Using the fortitude of the soul to endure the damage to the body can give Extraordinary people with strong souls and weak bodies extremely strong tolerance.
"To understand the soul through suffering, and to understand the will of God through the soul, this is the way of practice of ascetics, and it is also one of the most powerful abilities..."
As Gaspare was speaking, there was a sudden thunder in the sky above the Baruch Palace. Bolts of lightning fell from the clouds and struck the surroundings of the Baruch Palace. The places where the Savior's ambushes were lying in ambush were attacked by the sudden thunder. The Savior's ambushes were suddenly in chaos, and there were signs of fear and even collapse in the face of the thunder's might. After sensing this scene, Mukhtar in the negotiation hall opened the holy book beside him and spoke majestically.
"The commandments should not be feared, and chaos should not be ashamed. Keep order, and the power of thunder cannot shake the steadfast faith."
