But that's enough.

Poole charged ahead of the group.

The village guards followed behind.

With a change in her aura, Leah entered a stealthy state where she merged with the aura of the floating whale.

The white-tailed fox was also ready for battle.

Auras swirled around Nemus, forming sword-like energy. The pure killing intent and fighting spirit combined to create immense mental pressure, which, along with the chaotic mental field formed by the fictional agreement, pressed down on everyone's hearts like dark clouds.

"Then let's begin!"

"Our second round of battle!"

Chapter 268 The Creation of Divine Life—Air Angels

As soon as they started fighting, the church members sensed a problem.

Nems's men are all too strong.

Furthermore, Isabella also knew most of the information about Nemus's subordinates.

Towns, an ordinary shepherd.

Opu, the village chief of a small village.

Poole, a reserve village guard.

White-tailed Fox, a gang leader who relies on the Dartmanley family.

According to the records, Kru was just a priest who had recently been promoted from intern to full-fledged priest.

Only Becky might be the alchemist in the fictional agreement documents, who may have already possessed considerable strength. However, his enhancement of that layer of the canopy demonstrated an alchemical level far stronger than expected.

However, it was these people who, in such a short period of time, developed this level of combat power while working alongside Nemus.

If it's just these people, then they're not actually beyond the scope of our handling. With the current staffing of the church, dealing with them wouldn't be difficult.

The difficulty lies with Nems!

The pressure from Nems alone was already terrifying enough, and now...

“No need to worry, we will win!” Rhine said when everyone’s spirits were wavering. The moment his words fell, it seemed that the outcome was already decided.

Rhine pushed up his glasses, and an incredibly resilient mental force surged forth as he single-handedly confronted the combined mental forces of dozens of fictitious agreement members.

In terms of sheer numbers, Rhine may be at a disadvantage, but in terms of mental quality, he has an absolute advantage.

“Under the Holy Will, everything will be accomplished.” Rhine’s words were full of confidence, and this confidence also inspired the others.

"So that's how it is. The Holy Wish was initiated by the Holy Ancestor of the Niton family." Nemus's voice came with a hint of realization, clearly understanding why Rhine had such confidence.

He appeared not far away, walking towards Rhine at a leisurely pace.

The opponent single-handedly resisted the chaotic mental field, and in the perceived future, he was an existence who, upon advancing to the Golden Rank, could kill his own physical body.

However, the next moment, Zovin had already jumped through space and followed.

Isabella, in the distance, rested and recovered her condition in a short time. The luminous matter reappeared, and it further transformed into countless thin ribbons that floated around Isabella, making her look like a luminous jellyfish from afar.

Now those thin ribbons quickly wrapped around Nems.

However, the next moment, a hole appeared in the sky, and a large amount of seawater poured in.

In the distance, Op, holding a handkerchief, wiped away his sweat. Although he couldn't fight Lady Isabella head-on, catching up with her on the sidelines was still no problem.

Summoning spell - Single path!

When the luminous ribbons encountered seawater, a large amount of seawater immediately turned into steam and spread.

Nemes shifted his footing slightly, dodging Zovin's attack, and continued to approach Rhine.

When he was still a human being, he had read some archives and books in the church.

Information about native families may be obscured, but it may not be the case on other whale backs.

At that time, however, Nems did not know that the Holy Wish came from the Niton family.

Now we finally understand some of the underlying reasons.

The so-called sacred vow is a 'story' about the relationship between saints and God.

Saints are God's spokespeople, but they are only spokespeople.

Therefore, saints sometimes encounter things that contradict God's teachings.

The saint discovered that some of these matters, if handled according to doctrine, would only be harmful to the church and to God.

Because times have changed.

In the past, polytheistic religions ruled the world because communication was relatively easy.

Once on the whale's back, most of the whales only had one religious cult remaining, and the names of other orthodox churches were little known.

Some survival rules naturally changed.

Then a saint defied God's teachings, made an important decision, and handled those matters in his own way.

Afterwards, the gods descended and, instead of punishing the saint, they considered the saint's wish to be a supplement to the teachings of the gods and rewarded the saint.

Making the Saint's decision even more important—it was from this point that Nemus confirmed the origin of the "Sacred Wish" story from the Niton family, through the Saint's essence of locking power.

And this is the sacred wish!

It was also a source of pride for many enclosure advocates, who saw it as proof that nobles were ruling the world on behalf of the gods.

In this process, the sacred wish was also deified into a kind of ritual.

“No wonder you collect so many resources and restrict whale grease.” Nems instantly understood everything Rhine had done.

The reason for collecting so many resources, even to the point that the Baiwei Town Church's finances were in trouble, was for the sake of the Holy Vow, or more precisely, for the sake of more Holy Vows.

As we know from the previous story, this is a ritual in which the church can give back to God.

Four years ago, the God of Discipline lost his battle against the Abyss, and one-fifth of his divine power was taken away by himself.

The Discipline Church has lost most of its connection with the God of Discipline.

As a result, various actions emerged.

The current sacred vow is one of them.

Of course, due to one of the requirements of the ceremony, although Huang Jinzhong paid attention, he did not personally preside over it.

The God of Discipline does not require a single sacred vow ceremony, but countless ones.

Of course, there are some details to the sacred wish ceremony, but now is not the time to explore them.

Rhine watched Nems approach rapidly, his eyes showing little emotion.

“I warned you, it can’t be too high, it can’t be too dense.” As Rhine spoke, clusters of light appeared around him: “Look, now you have become the target of the Holy Will, and there is only one path left for you: defeat.”

The moment the words were spoken, a ball of light rapidly changed, and then Nemus felt himself being locked onto.

Once that sensation subsided slightly, an eyeball the size of a fist appeared within the light.

Behind this eye are not blood vessels or nerves, but two pairs of wings.

The pure white feathers were tinged with a hint of gold and a touch of blood.

This makes the eyeball appear both strange and sacred.

Forbidden Divine Art: Sacred Life Shaping!

The miracle of creating life, which in theory belongs only to God, was recreated in Rhine's hands.

"Air Angel?" Nemus frowned, then realized that the aura around him was gradually becoming uncontrollable.

In alchemy, the basic elements of the world are divided into five categories: earth, wind, water, fire, and ether.

The wind is air, and the air angels are the spirits of the elements, one of the protectors of the divine kingdom. Although they are both angels, the prayer angels have different duties.

Fortunately, this one only has two pairs of wings and is merely a Steel-type Air Angel.

Even so, it is still difficult to deal with. The feeling that it was locked in before was that it was shaping a life that could target him based on the information shown by Nems.

Zovin also headed towards Nemus once again, accompanied by the Holy Son.

Chapter 269, "Self-Agreement & Bilateral Agreement," is activated!

The clusters of light surrounding Rhine were still changing, clearly nurturing new life.

"It seems our current strength is somewhat insufficient!" Nemus thought to himself as he analyzed the current situation.

Rhine, Isabella, Zovin, and the Holy Son are all moving closer to him; they will be his main adversaries from now on.

The old man from the arbitration team was stopped by Poole and the village guards.

Heisenberg Anderson, who had been beside Rhein, was now wielding a gunsword and charging toward Kru with a fanatical fervor for fighting for God. Downs followed beside Kru.

As for Seppelison, he was currently preparing to break Parsons' seal and recall the Law, which was of utmost importance. What he didn't notice was that a figure was approaching him.

“Lia’s technique is a bit lacking.” Nemus narrowed his eyes and then looked at Isabella and the Holy Son.

Of everyone present, probably only these two people are capable of sensing Leah.

With a thought in mind, Nems continued walking toward the Rhine without stopping.

Isabella's mind raced, and she quickly sensed something. She looked at Nemus and felt his aura rapidly growing stronger.

This commotion inevitably drew her attention, focusing her gaze on Nemus's actions.

Meanwhile, the Holy Son, who was approaching from the other side, vaguely sensed the presence of the floating whale.

Just as he was about to continue sensing, he discovered several invisible long snakes approaching him along the single channel of seawater.

The Holy Son frowned slightly. Since choosing a family, his connection with the floating whale was not as sensitive as before.

At this moment, the only option is to condense life force into a substantial pressure to suppress the approaching Feathered Serpents.

With a flick of his sword, he killed them all.

At that very moment, Sepperison on the other side suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from beside him.

Although Sepperson was on guard against a possible attack, there had been no prior warning, but in an instant he felt himself take flight.

I felt excruciating pain all over my body.

Then it slammed heavily onto the ground.

For a moment, his consciousness seemed to leave his body, and in a daze, Seppelison felt that he was about to enter heaven.

Fortunately, although he was a priest, he was one of the very few priests of the life side, who only practiced one divine spell in his life and engraved it on his body, so that he looked and acted more like a paladin.

Reaching extreme values ​​ultimately gave his body a certain degree of resistance to various fatal injuries.

The smell of blood and dirt filled his mouth and nose at that moment, and only then did he realize that he had smashed through the church floor tiles, creating a huge crater, and that a large amount of dirt was covering him.

He tried to move his body slightly, but found that he couldn't move at all; the blade of death was still pressed against his body.

Taking a deep breath, Seppelison had no choice but to use the trait 'Dispersed Suppression' once again, this time targeting himself.

As the special ability took effect, his chaotic body finally began to show some semblance of order.

The essence of this characteristic is to make things more inert, which at this moment has become his life-saving aid.

His body was weakened, but at least he wouldn't die immediately.

Struggling to brush the mud off his body, he needed immediate rescue. With his vitality, a priest could surely heal his injuries and restore some of his fighting ability with divine magic.

On the battlefield, there also exists a gigantic monster capable of concealing its form.

It's too dangerous to leave this monster on the field!

After he struggled to his feet, he saw what was happening in the field.

Parsons, who had fallen to the ground, was dead.

There was nothing particularly unusual about his death.

The eldest son of the noble Levin family, who possessed the divine secret of the Recall Law, died on the sidelines.

Then, Seppelison sensed something approaching.
