Jiang Ran hadn't expected this outcome. Both the human and the god fell silent until Herlina took away the tarot card.
"[The Pope]...Yuri is His agent, isn't he? Why would He send his subordinates to attack us?"
Yuri himself had no motive to take action, and it's not hard to guess who was behind it. Interestingly, Yuri disappeared after this battle, while Yu Cheng awakened his own "miracle".
“I don’t know what He is thinking; we don’t communicate about everything.”
"The struggle between gods is not something you should be worrying about right now. What you need to do now is to improve your strength as quickly as possible, and ideally awaken your true [Miracle]!"
Jiang Ran spoke again, but before he could utter a word, Hellina waved her hand: "If you can clear this Ghost Story World, I can answer one question for you, limited to questions I know."
“Some of us have goodwill toward you, but that’s all. If you want them to help you personally, you have to make yourself seem important enough!”
Herlina took off her glasses, her long hair quickly retracting. Jiang Ran knew that the deity had left, and he had nothing to say to Li Liubi, so he also left the room.
“At first I thought you were just a pretty good ghost storyteller…” Gwen tapped her little finger as she walked. “Now it seems you’re hiding some huge secrets, secrets you don’t even know yourself.”
Jiang Ran ruffled Gwen's hair: "I hope these secrets are a good thing for me."
“Oh, right!” Gwen seemed to have thought of something. “Was that guy lying just now? After all, the question you asked was ‘Who are you?’ That question should have been directed at Li Liubi, but that god said his own name. Isn’t that the same as lying?”
Jiang Ran was surprised that Gwen could spot this flaw; it seems her little brain works quite quickly. Jiang Ran replied somewhat uncertainly, "Maybe not."
“Even if the person in question is Li Liubi, his answer is ‘You can call me Herlina’ instead of ‘I am Herlina’. As for Li Liubi, I can certainly call him Herlina as well. Giving people a pseudonym is perfectly normal. Since I can call him Herlina, this answer is not considered a lie.”
"Such a complicated explanation..."
In just six key characters in the plot, three true gods have already been involved! We can initially discern a pattern: one of every two key characters in the plot may be an incarnation of a true god!
Based on this calculation, there should be three more "True Gods" hidden among the remaining six important characters in the story! However, we'll have to wait until after the great battle between the three committee chairmen and the demon apostles ends.
To conserve her mental energy, Yu Cheng did not create a spatial gate to rush over directly. She first met up with Ye Ye and Rusger, and then the three of them rushed over together.
After confirming that Weps had taken cover, Dejove also rushed in that direction! Although he wasn't particularly fast, fortunately, he was not far from the headquarters of the Demon Apostles.
Soon, they all arrived at headquarters.
The civilians outside have been evacuated. Although the war has not officially started yet, the atmosphere is already extremely tense. Everyone knows that an inevitable war is coming!
"They're here!" A Grand Apostle slammed his fist on the table, issuing orders to the others, "Elite-level Awakened Ones, flee this place immediately! Do not engage in battle! King-level Awakened Ones, split into two factions. Inheritors, begin your escape immediately; the rest of you, join me in battle!"
"From now on, treat the fugitives as if we have already lost the battle, and get as far away from this place as possible. If we win, the survivors will contact you, and then we will come back for a victory celebration!"
"All for the revival of the Demon Lord!"
"All for the revival of the Demon Lord!"
"All for the revival of the Demon Lord!"
Morale was high inside the headquarters, so much so that Jiang Ran and the others couldn't help but want to go up and shout a few words.
A massive gust of air blasted through the entire upper structure of the base—and this was an underground structure! The Grand Apostle used his power to deploy defenses, and the huge hole allowed everyone to see all the intruders!
Eight people stood in the center of the line. From left to right, they were Li Long and Hong Ping, two near-gods under Chairman Yang Zong; Zhao Tiao and Jiang Tang, two near-gods under Chairman Li Tianhu; and Cannon Fodder A and Cannon Fodder B, two near-gods under Chairman Bai Wuzhou. On the far right were Alex and Boers!
To their left and right was a miniature army of dozens of "Kings of Ghosts"! Mixed in were also two ghost storytellers from the Kingdom of the British Empire.
Li Long looked down at the bottom of the building, his pupils instantly contracting, because he saw several familiar figures inside!
On the Demon Apostles' side, standing at the very center were the three Grand Apostles and Jiang Ran's group, surrounded by a smaller number of [Demon King] level individuals!
At this point, Li Long had no other words to say, and simply uttered two words: "Start the war!"
Dejov knew what he had to do, and immediately shouted, "Silver Flame!"
Silver flames danced in the air. The "Deceptive King" of the three committee chairmen's side wanted to take the damage for their superiors, but he felt his consciousness being twisted as if he were under an illusion, and he failed to stop it!
puff--
The silver flames instantly engulfed the four near-god level beings! Knowing his mission was perfectly accomplished, Dejov immediately used the teleportation portal to return to Wips's side!
One of the eerie storytellers from the Kingdom of the Never-Setting Sun, who possessed the ability to kill strange creatures, was also busy. He summoned a bow, nocked three arrows, and the three sharp arrows pierced through numerous obstacles, accurately hitting the three chief apostles!
Although his SS-level talent "Spirit Arrow" can be used less often than other talents of the same level, it has the characteristic of being able to hit the target he wants to hit, and is not afraid of being blocked or dodged!
In less than three seconds since the battle began, a total of seven high-ranking members from both sides have fallen, reaching the level of near-gods!
Of the three chairmen's side, only Li Long and Zhao Tiao remained as near-gods. Neither of Bai Wuzhou's two near-gods were left. This was because Dejov had heard that Alex and Bai Wuzhou were getting close, so he specially "took care" of them!
Needless to say, the Demon Apostles' side has had all their local high-end combat forces rendered useless!
"kill!"
"kill!"
When a battle at the level of the "Deceptive King" broke out, Li Long and Zhao Tiao didn't just stand by and watch; they joined the battle directly!
Booles has his eye on language processes!
