The powerful force unleashed by the temple trapped the Demon.
These powers come from the gods, and even Demons cannot resist them.
Numerous players swarmed forward, seeing this as the best opportunity to kill the Demon; they were fearless in the face of death.
They would do anything for this, even pay with their lives.
Because the gods will not forget them, they will not suffer any loss in sacrificing for the gods.
The high priest coldly stared at the Demon before him, utterly confident that no matter how powerful the Demon was, it would die here at this moment.
No one can shake the power of God, not even the Demon!
But the Demon's expression remained unchanged, as if the situation was not dire.
He looked at the statue, the core of the entire temple and the connection to the gods. If the statue were destroyed, the immense pressure he felt would immediately disappear.
His eyes were fixed on the idol; the eyes of Demon can see the "death" of all things, including this idol.
A thin line appeared before his eyes. The line was extremely strong, but even the strongest line has its weak points.
Sure enough, he quickly found the weak points along that line; those weak points were the "death" of the statue.
This statue is clearly not ordinary; there are only three or four such points along the entire line.
But for Demons, just one weak point is enough.
As he watched the crowd rush towards him, his finger lightly touched the weakest point on the silk thread.
"Boom!"
The silk thread snapped immediately, and along with the breakage of the thread, countless cracks appeared faintly on the statue.
The cracks continued to spread outwards, quickly covering the entire body of the statue.
But none of this caught the attention of the players and the high priest; their focus was entirely on the Demon, and no one paid any attention to the statue.
They never imagined that such a tiny action by the Demon could harm the statue.
As cracks appeared in the statue, the immense power within the temple rapidly diminished, and the restrictions on the Demon were lifted.
The Demon suddenly turned around and looked at the charging crowd. The players immediately stopped in their tracks, instinctively fearing the Demon.
But after a moment, their reason prevailed over that instinct.
As the high priest gathered his power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Demon, he shouted,
"He's at his last gasp, everyone don't be afraid, kill him quickly!"
Just as the players were about to set off, the statue suddenly shattered into countless pieces, as if it had been cut into many pieces by some extremely sharp blade.
Each cut was very neat and the size was very uniform.
In just a moment, the statue turned into a neat pile of stones, stacked on the ground.
Everyone was stunned, staring at the shattered statue before them, as if in a dream.
The high priest turned around in horror, staring at the shattered statue with disbelief in his eyes.
How could the statue have suddenly shattered? That's absolutely impossible!
Seeing all this, the high priest was nearly driven mad.
This statue is too important. It was built with special materials according to God's instructions. Not to mention that no one touches it, even if someone deliberately wanted to destroy it, it would be very difficult to leave a single mark on it.
Now, the statue has shattered silently, and so neatly at that.
How could that be? The idol represents the god. Even if the high priest wasn't on guard, the god wouldn't just watch the idol be destroyed.
But the fragments of the idol were right before their eyes, and no matter how unbelievable they found it, they had to admit the fact.
Upon seeing the shattered statue, everyone sensed that the power within the temple was rapidly dissipating, and the restrictions placed on the Demons were diminishing.
"Quickly! Kill him!" the high priest shouted frantically.
His power was about to be fully gathered; if these players helped him distract the Demon, he could seize the opportunity to kill Demon.
However, with the statue destroyed, the god is temporarily unable to descend upon this world.
However, the statues can be rebuilt, and as long as the temple still exists, they still have a chance.
But then, something even more despairing happened to him.
Just as the players were about to rush towards the Demon, some stones suddenly fell from the top of the temple and hit the ground.
While everyone was still wondering what was going on, the temple suddenly collapsed, just like a huge castle built of building blocks that was struck by an external force and crumbled.
Every piece of material in the temple was cut into even small pieces and scattered on the ground.
The fragments of the temple piled up, burying almost everyone in the ruins.
Only the Demon remained unaffected; his power manipulated the surrounding stones, causing them to fall to other places.
At this moment, the high priest was on the verge of collapse. He stared at everything in shock, completely bewildered as to what was happening.
The temple was built according to God's will; they would never dare to cut corners. The temple is extremely sturdy, and it's impossible for this scene to have occurred.
"No, this is an illusion, it must be an illusion!" The high priest simply could not accept this.
The temple and the statue—all of which they had spent nearly a century building—were destroyed in an instant.
He simply couldn't accept that so many years of hard work had vanished in an instant.
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was filled with madness.
"Kill him! You must kill him!" he shouted frantically.
The other players were in a better situation than him.
Because those players didn't participate in the construction of the temple and statues, they didn't know how much effort had gone into building them, so their feelings weren't as profound as the High Priest's.
But they also felt uncomfortable.
The temple and the statues have been destroyed by Demons; the gods may no longer be able to descend upon their world.
This mission was a complete failure.
Having failed so utterly, will God truly still favor them? Will He resurrect them?
Everything has become unknown.
At this moment, they felt a deep fear. This Demon was far more terrifying than they had imagined; it was simply invincible!
Now, even the gods can no longer be their reliance; how can they fight this Demon?
The interrupting voice came again, "Quick, kill him! What are you all standing there for!"
But this time, the players didn't obey his orders.
Now, it's unknown whether God will even appear, so they wouldn't dare risk their lives against such Demon at this time.
The players instantly reached a consensus and fled in all directions.
Fighting the Demon at this moment is something only a madman would do.
Watching the fleeing crowd, the high priest knew that all was lost and everything was over.
But the Demon had no intention of letting them go so easily. He took out the withered arm, which immediately floated in the air and began searching for its prey.
