Who exactly ruined their plans?
They quickly pinpointed the source of the singing.
There was a spot in the crowd that was completely surrounded by the monks.
In front of the mages protecting the crowd, a complex magic circle was circulating.
They were using amplification magic to continuously amplify the singing.
And hidden among those mages was a mermaid.
She was soaking in an enormous glass fish tank, one hand resting on her chest, the other gently swaying in the air.
With eyes slightly closed, completely immersed in the music, she sang out loud.
[Fifth-Tier Magic: Praise of the Ocean's Blessing]
The believers felt a surge of intense anger upon seeing the culprit who had thwarted their plans.
Because they recognized the mermaid—
Lorelei Fanny, one of the twelve councilors of the Mage Council
[The Singer of the Joyful Sea]
She earned this title because Lorelei Fanny's singing had the power to purify the soul.
She can even calm a restless sea, bringing it into joyful tranquility.
However, the believers' consciousness has been completely distorted.
They have lost their individuality and are left with only the singular belief in calling back the goddess.
Therefore, they are not affected by the purification effect of the singing at all.
But now, their minds are filled with a bit more anger.
In fact, believers have almost no emotions.
But when the Mage Council is mentioned, they become incredibly fanatical.
In the eyes of these believers, the self-proclaimed righteous council of mages is their lifelong enemy.
It was the Mage Council that banished the Goddess of Justice, and it is the current Mage Council that has defiled the Goddess of Justice.
They created a different concept of justice and gave it a completely new image as a goddess.
This imposter is portrayed as exceptionally realistic, even attempting to replace the true goddess of justice.
Such behavior is unacceptable to believers.
It is both a defilement and a blasphemy against holiness.
Therefore, they were consumed by a frenzied rage.
Ugly and chaotic whispers emanated from their twisted flesh:
"Kill...you all..."
Their bodies began to twitch strangely, their flesh writhing rapidly.
Tentacles wrapped around its body crawled rapidly across the land, like a restless, dark ocean.
It left eerie afterimages and lunged menacingly at the mages in the distance.
The speed at which believers converted was almost unbelievable.
When they saw that overwhelming wave of blood and flesh, no one had time to react.
Even the mages who used amplification magic were stunned and unable to cast defensive spells in time.
Countless believers, like surging waves, attempted to annihilate the mages with their overwhelming numbers.
But just then...
boom!
In an instant, the shockwave broke through the flying soil and dust, transforming into an expanding ring that pushed out in all directions.
It violently dispersed the dark, giant wave composed of countless believers.
Under this impact, the earth seemed to turn into fragile planks, broken into pieces by the sudden figure.
Cracks ran through the soil, and rocks and distant forests were all snapped in half, shattered into fine dust.
This terrifying power shook the earth and lingered for a long time.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, even Lorelei Fanny stopped singing, stood frozen in place, and gazed ahead in awe.
Then, a steady voice came from the billowing smoke and dust:
“I hate your old-fashioned and disgusting doctrines.”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the dust around him dissipated.
Lorelei looked up, his eyes wide with adoration as he gazed at the enormous bear-man before him.
The bear-man stood still, extending only one palm.
Before everyone stood a thick barrier formed of 'qi'.
Despite the screams and howls of the collapsing believers striking the barrier, they failed to inflict the slightest damage on the bear-man.
Thousands upon thousands of black oceans even tried to cross the bear-man, but the bear-man in front of them seemed like an insurmountable chasm, and no one could get past him.
Seeing the scene before them, everyone in the room stood silently in place.
Their eyes were glazed over, filled with disbelief and shock.
Immediately, a circle of ethereal wind enveloped the bear-man.
He stood still, slowly retracting the outstretched hand and clenching it into a fist.
"so……"
The bear-man's voice was deep and powerful.
The next moment, the fist unfolded back into a palm and was pushed forward again.
In an instant, a violent gust of wind swept towards the dark mass of believers in front of them.
The power of chaos spread rapidly through the air, as if every inch of power was exploding, making the surrounding air sharp and merciless.
Boom! Whoosh!
An invisible gale suddenly arose, tearing the already shattered earth apart and creating a vortex that stretched for thousands of miles.
It further tore apart the already collapsed soil on the earth's surface.
Similarly, this force swept over countless bodies of dark flesh, tearing them into clumps of dark dust.
The wind and waves surged, reaching straight into the sky.
A shocking sound filled everyone's ears. In a daze, the violent aura gradually subsided.
Finally, as everything calmed down, people slowly came to their senses.
However, the scene before them stunned everyone once again.
A deep brown furrow had been plowed into the earth before them, extending deep into the underlying rock.
Only a huge bear paw print remained, traversing the soil, with dust swirling and echoing in the gullies.
After doing all this, the bear-man slowly straightened his body and slightly adjusted his oversized butler's clothes.
He adjusted his tie with one hand, elegantly and calmly withdrawing the violent aura that had surrounded him.
"Don't do it here, you're making my eyes dirty."
