Chapter 212: The Pillar of Guidance! The Appearance of the Cult of Light! (Subscribe)
A group of ministers rushed out of the hall at the first opportunity.
Sensing that powerful and familiar divine might, even the Black Scorpion King could no longer sit still and came outside the hall with his ministers.
Wherever you look.
Pillars of light that penetrated the earth and the sky appeared in various places in the royal capital.
Each beam of light is dark red.
Radiating divine power.
This was clearly a miracle, coming from the god of their faith, the Black Scorpion Lord.
However, they had no idea what the Black Scorpion Lord's intention was in making such a fuss.
"I see!"
A senior official said excitedly: "Your Majesty must be planning to send down the army of the gods to help us defeat those brutal elves!"
Hearing this.
Many senior executives were also excited.
Gods all have their own kingdom.
Especially old gods like the Black Scorpion Monarch, who not only owns a vast kingdom of God, but also has countless living creatures living in his kingdom of God.
Those creatures can be called creatures from the divine world.
The creatures in the divine world are immortal.
At the same time, the gods will selectively cultivate a group of divine creatures in their own kingdoms to form a divine army.
The army of angels that entered the Dark Continent that year came from the kingdom of the Goddess of Light.
Now, the Black Scorpion Lord has brought down such a miracle...
Many high-ranking officials present thought that the Black Scorpion Lord was preparing to teleport his Divine Kingdom army down.
But just at this moment.
But an inopportune voice sounded.
"If they were teleporting the army of the gods, why did they create so many light pillars, and why are they scattered all over the capital?"
"It feels to me like it is attracting believers."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
No one present was able to refute it, and they inexplicably felt that what this person said made sense. Even the Black Scorpion King thought so.
Just when everyone didn't know what to say.
Another pillar of light reaching into the sky appeared out of nowhere and landed on the square not far in front of them.
At the same time.
A faint red glow appeared on the bodies of more than a dozen people present, echoing the light emitted by the pillar of light that reached the sky.
And a black scorpion mark appeared between their eyebrows.
"What's going on?"
"Why are you glowing?"
"Did His Majesty the Black Scorpion Lord send down a miracle upon you?"
The other senior executives immediately turned their eyes to those people, asking anxiously, with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
"Praise the great Black Scorpion Lord!"
One of them suddenly shouted excitedly: "I have heard the divine voice of His Majesty, who is going to lead me to the kingdom of God and gain eternal life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man immediately pushed through the crowd.
Without hesitation, he ran towards the pillar of light that reached the sky not far away.
“I heard the divine voice, too.”
"This is the Pillar of Guidance, which leads directly to the Kingdom of God under the Black Scorpion Lord!"
Someone else spoke.
At the same time, rush towards the sky-high light column.
Soon, all the senior executives who had strange phenomena on their bodies entered the light column. Each of them was extremely excited, and their expressions and eyes were extremely fanatical.
"This, how is this possible!?"
"It shouldn't be like this..."
"Your Majesty the Black Scorpion Lord should save our entire kingdom, not just a certain group of people in it."
"Why wasn't I chosen? I am also a believer of Your Majesty!"
See this scene.
Many senior executives showed expressions of horror.
The chosen ones will go to the Kingdom of God and achieve eternal life.
And those who are not chosen can only stay in the kingdom and wait for death?
This explains a lot.
The Black Scorpion Monarch not only lost to the Moon Elf Queen, but also abandoned their kingdom and only selected a portion of their believers to be saved.
The only fate for those who were not chosen was to wait for death to come.
As for the army of gods that they had speculated about just now, that was completely imaginary. There would be no army of gods at all.
The Black Scorpion Lord has given up on them! "No! I won't accept it!"
"I am also a believer. Why would the Black Scorpion Lord abandon me?"
Some high-ranking officials shouted in despair and rushed towards the guiding pillar standing in the square as if they had lost their minds.
There are multiple people following at the same time.
They don't want to die, they want eternal life.
However, the scene that happened next immediately woke up the other senior executives who were eager to try and rush into the Pillar of Guidance.
This was because the bodies of these "crazy believers" instantly disintegrated when they just touched the Pillar of Guidance.
Even a demigod cannot resist the divine power contained in the Pillar of Guidance.
He died tragically in an instant.
It's obvious.
Only the chosen ones can enter the Pillar of Guidance.
If anyone else gets close, they will die.
After seeing this bloody scene, the senior officials who wanted to join in the charge towards the Pillar of Guidance immediately gave up the idea.
Only then did they seem to remember...
The Black Scorpion Lord they believe in is an evil god.
There will be no mercy when it comes to killing these ant-like believers.
In the end, they could only watch as the Pillar of Guidance carried the dozen or so selected senior officials to the sky and disappeared without a trace.
at the same time.
The guiding pillars in various places in the royal capital also disappeared.
However, the royal capital did not calm down, but instead became chaotic.
Seeing others being taken to the Kingdom of God for eternal life, while they themselves had to stay behind to die, how could those who stayed behind remain calm?
For a time, riots broke out in all parts of the capital.
No one stepped forward to stop it.
Because the city defense forces responsible for the security of the royal capital are also in chaos, and they have been abandoned by the gods they believe in, and you still want them to maintain law and order?
What a joke! They were lucky enough not to riot.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should we do?"
A senior executive asked in a trembling voice.
It was only then that the other people present remembered that their King was not chosen either, and they all turned their eyes in unison as if they had found a backbone.
Right now.
The Black Scorpion King's expression was already distorted.
He also experienced the mentality from hope to despair.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He is the ruler of the Black Scorpion Kingdom.
But the Black Scorpion Lord abandoned him.
If he was not already a top demigod with a relatively stable state of mind, he would have probably collapsed by now.
The Black Scorpion King took a few deep breaths and said, "Send a message to all cities in the kingdom and dispatch the army to protect the capital."
"Also seek urgent assistance from surrounding church forces."
"The Black Scorpion Lord has abandoned us. We can only choose to save ourselves!"
"But Your Majesty..."
One of the higher-ups said, “Even the Black Scorpion Monarch was defeated by the Moon Elf Queen, who has several gods under her command.”
"We are just ordinary people, how can we stop it?"
The enemy has gods guarding the battlefield.
That's battlefield nuclear weapons.
Even if they blocked the attack of the elven army, they would be finished immediately once the gods took action.
How could a mortal contend with the power of a god? Not to mention that there were multiple gods attacking.
A senior official said with a pale face: "The Moon Elf Queen is so powerful that even the Black Scorpion Monarch has chosen to give in. I'm afraid the evil gods behind other forces would not dare to provoke her."
“It will be difficult to find assistance this time even if we pay the highest price.”
The other senior executives present were also extremely desperate.
The defeat of the Black Scorpion Lord was a wake-up call to all evil forces in the Chaos Plains.
If you want to go against the elven army, you must first see if their backing is stronger than that of the Moon Elf Queen.
The Black Scorpion King said, "Let's ask for help first."
"Especially the Dark Church, let's see what they mean."
"If they are willing to lend a helping hand, we won't have to worry!"
Behind the Dark Church stands the Dark Goddess, a goddess as ancient and powerful as the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Elves.
When facing the Dark Goddess, the Black Scorpion Lord has to respectfully address her as Her Majesty the Goddess.
As long as they tie the Dark Church to the chariot, their Black Scorpion King will be saved.
After all, no matter how powerful the Moon Elf Queen is, can she be stronger than the Dark Goddess? "Your Majesty is wise!"
A senior official said: "But if the Dark Church is unwilling to intervene, what should we do?"
King Black Scorpion said: "Tell the Pope of the Dark Church that as long as they help us survive this disaster, after the war, my kingdom will build a temple for the Dark Goddess within its borders and order its people to believe in the Dark Goddess."
"If you don't want to do this..."
"Our kingdom is completely doomed."
"You and I can also pack our bags and seek refuge in other forces."
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
They were a little surprised that the Black Scorpion King, as the ruler of the kingdom, had actually been prepared to abandon his people and flee.
But after the accident, I felt it was understandable.
If they didn't flee, would they stay and die? Not only the Black Scorpion King, but all of them also lacked the noble spirit to sacrifice on the battlefield with the people of the kingdom.
Don't forget, they are professionals from the evil camp.
They also worship evil gods.
A high-ranking official quickly said, "Your Majesty, I will contact the Dark Church and various forces. I hope they can send reinforcements."
The Black Scorpion King nodded.
Then he asked other senior executives to go down and prepare.
…
Tens of thousands of kilometers away.
The territory of the Church of Ashes.
Looking around, the ground is covered with black soil.
Even the crops planted in the fields were as black as ink, and emitted wisps of black smoke, as if they were burnt.
The followers of the Church of Ashes believe in Graham, the God of Ashes.
A middle-level true god with medium divine power.
Right now.
In a city shrouded in black fog.
A terrifying force of light suddenly erupted, instantly purifying all the black fog and sweeping across the entire city.
Countless figures knelt on the ground, accepting the baptism of the power of light.
at the same time.
A temple belonging to the goddess of light rose from the ground.
A large number of believers wearing bright robes emerged in the temple, including a cardinal.
Listening to the screams and cries of killing that occasionally sounded in the city...
The cardinal holding the scepter said gently: "If there are pagans who are still unwilling to embrace the light, then use the flames to purify their souls and bodies!"
"As you command, Your Excellency the Archbishop!"
A group of Templar Knights left quickly.
The cardinal ordered the remaining followers of light: "Hurry up and set up the teleportation array."
"The elves next door have declared war on the forces of evil and darkness."
"Although it's a little sudden, how can we, the Church of Light, sit idly by during this battle between the good and lawful camps?"
