Overwhelming Force

The situation was extremely unfavorable for Linley's side.

And the person in the greatest danger was Linley himself.

Besieged by two masked men, Linley could only barely hold on. Meanwhile, Heidens, the Radiant Pope who had yet to act, and Affleck, the Dark Pope, had completed their preparations.

The moment the battle began, Heidens had taken out the Radiant Church's treasured artifact, the "Bible." One hand rested on it as he continuously chanted an incantation.

Affleck did much the same, holding a black crystal ball as his lips moved slightly.

The two finished their chants at the same time.

Heidens: "Life—Deprivation!"

Affleck: "Power of Evil!"

Heidens had cast Fate Law. His mastery of Fate Law far surpassed Benjamin's, and bolstered by the Bible, its power was even greater.

Affleck had cast the dark forbidden secret art—Power of Evil.

This forbidden spell was a simplified version of the "Evil" profound mystery within the Laws of Darkness, capable of controlling another person's mind.

The two Soul Attacks entered Linley's body simultaneously and struck at his mind.

Linley's body trembled, and his movements stiffened.

Seizing this opportunity, the two masked men attacked Linley at once.

"Boss!" Bebe shouted anxiously. He wanted to save him, but he simply could not shake off the masked man entangling him.

"Get lost!" Bebe roared helplessly.

"This is bad!" At this moment, Desri and several of his friends finally arrived, but they were already too late to help.

"Die, Linley!" Heidens coldly watched Linley, whose expression was vacant under the Soul Attacks.

Even if Linley could withstand the Soul Attacks of Affleck and himself, it would be useless. The two masked men had already struck. Other than a God Realm expert, who could stop the combined attack of two Saint Realm Limit experts?

Thud! Thud!

The masks shattered, and the heads exploded.

A white beam shot from afar and instantly pierced through the heads of both masked men.

"Who was that?" Heidens could hardly believe it, thinking that a God Realm expert had made a move.

"Mr. Liewen!" Linley finally came to his senses. Just now, he had relied on the Coiling Dragon Ring to endure the Soul Attacks of the two popes.

"Kill first, catch up later!"

Liewen said no more. Holding an Angel Longsword, he charged toward Heidens.

"Go!"

Seeing that things had gone wrong, Heidens tried to flee. He was not slow, but Liewen was faster.

The Angel Battle Sword swept past, and Heidens's head fell into the Liuyan River below.

Liewen stored the Bible in his own Interspatial Ring.

"Got it."

He looked toward the battlefield on the other side.

His earlier single strike, which had instantly killed two Saint Realm Limit experts, had already terrified the forces of the two great churches.

Luoye, Useno, Ocasio, and Klemerson turned and fled, transforming into streaks of different-colored light that vanished into the horizon.

The two remaining masked men also wanted to leave, but Linley and Desri stopped them. The other radiant angels and Fallen Angels were killed by Barker, Bebe, Sessler, and Desri's friends.

"Who are you people?" Linley asked the gray-robed masked man coldly.

How could he not be curious when four Saint Realm Limit experts had suddenly appeared?

Had Liewen not arrived, he would already have been killed.

The gray-robed masked man did not answer. Instead, he looked toward Liewen.

After killing Heidens, Liewen flew toward the remaining two gray-robed masked men.

"You cannot kill me. Our master is Lady Lolita."

The gray-robed masked man confronting Linley spoke to Liewen.

At this point, the two gray-robed masked men were surrounded by Linley and the others.

"Lady Lolita?"

Everyone looked puzzled. Liewen turned toward Desri; among those present, Desri had the broadest knowledge.

Desri shook his head, indicating that he did not know any Lady Lolita either.

"Who is this Lady Lolita you speak of?" Liewen asked.

"Lady Lolita is a great God Realm expert," the gray-robed masked man said.

Linley and the others exchanged glances, growing even more confused. There were only five God Realm experts on the Yulan Continent, and none was named Lolita.

But Liewen formed a guess. He thought of the magic formation in the Sunset Mountain Range.

This Lady Lolita was very likely a God Realm expert who had escaped from that weak point in space within the Sunset Mountain Range.

In the original story, no such God Realm expert existed.

In truth, when Liewen arrived and saw these four masked men with the strength of Saint Realm Limit experts, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

He realized that the original plot had changed.

In the original plot, these four masked men did not exist. Before Desri and the others arrived, Linley's side had killed Useno, the Hellfire Phoenix, Klemerson, leader of the Fallen Angels, and numerous angels, gaining a complete advantage.

Linley had only encountered danger when facing Heidens's Fate Law, but he had still endured it with the Coiling Dragon Ring.

Originally, the ones who escaped from the Radiant Church were Heidens and Luoye. Now, they were Useno and Luoye.

The reason Liewen had decisively killed Heidens was that he had discovered the plot had changed.

Since it had changed, he had no more reservations and killed without hesitation.

"You want me to spare you, but I've already killed two of your companions. Even if I let you go, would this Lady Lolita you speak of spare me?" Liewen asked.

"This..."

The two gray-robed masked men hesitated slightly. Based on their understanding of Lady Lolita, Liewen would undoubtedly die, but naturally they could not say that now.

Their hesitation did not escape Liewen's notice. His gaze turned cold, and he decisively drew his sword.

"No!" The two gray-robed masked men panicked and resisted with all their strength.

Two white beams shot out, piercing through the gray-robed masked men's heads and killing them on the spot.

That moment of hesitation had also made Liewen understand.

Since he had already offended Lady Lolita, there was no point hoping to ease their relationship.

All four masked men had Interspatial Rings.

After killing the two, Liewen took their Interspatial Rings along with those of the two masked men he had killed earlier.

There might be some information about Lady Lolita inside the Interspatial Rings.

"Mr. Liewen, we have you to thank for what happened just now. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Linley flew toward Liewen and thanked him.

"You're welcome."

"Liewen, have you already become a god?" Desri also flew over and asked curiously.

He was already a Saint Realm Limit expert, yet Liewen was so much stronger than him. He could only assume that Liewen had become a Lowgod.

Over the years, Desri had exchanged pointers with Liewen, but Liewen had never used his full strength. Thus, Desri had not known Liewen was this powerful.

It was not just Desri who was curious. Everyone present was curious.

"Not yet. It's only that my comprehension of the Laws is relatively high. But I'm close to becoming a god as well," Liewen said.

Based solely on his comprehension of the "Light Element" profound mystery, he was already a Saint Realm Limit expert. Adding his comprehension of the "Purification" profound mystery and the Fusion Profound Mystery, as well as a body comparable to those of the Four Ultimate Warriors, he was naturally far stronger than ordinary Saint Realm Limit experts.

Linley looked thoughtful. Of everyone present, only he could roughly understand some of it.

That was because Linley's comprehension of the "Pulse of the Earth" profound mystery remained at the level of 256 Waves. He was still far from fusing the 256 Waves into one.

His comprehension of the profound mysteries of the Laws of Wind was about the same.

Yet even so, with the powerful body of a Dragonblood Warrior, he possessed combat strength comparable to that of a Saint Realm Limit expert. Once he cultivated the "Pulse of the Earth" profound mystery to its final step, he too would become far stronger than ordinary Saint Realm Limit experts.
