Chapter Two Is Here / Hylf, I'm Your Fiancé, Aren't I? (3)

Cain wanted to ask Wadsworth and Saint Monica to uphold justice, but seeing the two sitting calmly in their chairs with smiles on their faces, Cain's heart sank.

Without a doubt, these two people were only there to attend the new pope's coronation ceremony; they had no intention of getting involved in the internal affairs of the Holy Church.

Rather, the more chaos the Holy Church creates, the happier these two become.

Simply put, these two are just here to watch the drama unfold.

Without external assistance, the Qin Chu confrontation was at an absolute disadvantage, but they were unwilling to simply submit and relinquish the papal throne.

"Qin Chu, don't you think you've gone too far?" Alger took a deep breath.

These nine people were originally in chaos because they all wanted to climb to the position of Pope, but now they are unusually united.

They could all see that inciting the believers to rebel against Qin Chu was the only solution. No matter how arrogant Qin Chu was, he couldn't possibly kill all ten thousand priests, could he?

"Why did you seal off this place? Are you trying to show off your ability to kill us all?"

"If you think this will make us submit, you underestimate us. We are proud clergy, and our honor will never allow us to submit to the coercion of a demon like you."

"We will protect the glory of the Holy Church for thousands of years, even at the cost of our lives, and will not allow you to tarnish it at will."

Alger spoke with righteous indignation and a commanding presence, as if he were a valiant warrior about to face his death.

These words seemed to have some effect. Led by some people, the clergy who had been kneeling on the ground stood up in batches, and the voices opposing Qin Chu swept over like waves, but they seemed to be less loud than before.

Even so, some clergy still knelt devoutly on the ground, motionless.

Qin Chu smiled and instructed Veronica to memorize the names of everyone still kneeling on the ground. Regardless of their previous identities, from this day forward, they would be directly under Veronica's command.

Then, his gaze fell upon the person standing straight ahead, glaring angrily at him, and Qin Chu's expression grew increasingly cold.

The Divinity and authority within him were stirring, as if Qin Chu's body was growing taller and taller under the moonlight, filled with supreme majesty.

It was as if what stood before them was not just a human being, but a towering mountain reaching into the clouds.

Centered on Qin Chu's feet, the ground beneath his feet was cracking and spreading at an extremely rapid speed, causing the earth to tremble.

An overwhelming pressure spread out, and figures swayed precariously under the impact.

A few seconds later, a majestic voice, like thunder, reverberated in everyone's ears.

Kneel down.

Thump!

More than half of the clergy almost immediately fell to their knees.

The remaining half, were probably all loyal followers of these archbishops and vice-commanders, right?

Violent rule, reign of terror?

Qin Chu didn't care.

He simply wanted to eliminate those in the Holy Church who did not obey him; that was all.

These people, if they remain within the Holy See, will only bring trouble and become stumbling blocks. Furthermore, one cannot sense even a shred of faith in the Goddess of Holy Light among them.

In other words... their existence is utterly worthless.

There's no need to waste rice on things that have no value.

With a flick of his finger.

Antia, atop the high wall opposite, received the signal.

The chains wrapped around his body swayed like a giant python.

Puff puff puff puff...

In an instant, a crimson mist of blood began to spread across the night sky.

The metal chains mercilessly pierced through chest after chest, spurting blood.

Bodies that were standing on the ground collapsed in clumps, their screams of impending death mingling together like the wailing of the dead.

How many people are still standing? It's hard to say ten thousand, but there must be several thousand, right?

Qin Chu didn't count them carefully; all he knew was that the number was definitely not small.

Kain Alger and his men's pupils contracted sharply as they watched their men die rapidly, listening to their agonizing screams. They felt a chill run through their bodies.

They truly hadn't expected that Qin Chu would actually have the audacity to unleash a massacre at this crucial moment.

In their view, if Qin Chu wanted to become Pope, shouldn't his most important task be to curry favor with the clergy of the Holy Church and gain their support?

Why is this happening? Why is this happening?

One by one, they let out desperate cries. They wanted to rush over and stop Qin Chu, but as they watched the crimson fog drifting out in mid-air, their bodies seemed to be frozen in place, rooted to the ground, unable to move at all.

Their fingers were trembling, their teeth were chattering, and their pupils were trembling.

From the throat, a faint, mournful cry, like that of a wounded wild beast, could be heard.

They could do nothing but watch helplessly as their subordinates died one after another.

They couldn't reach that level, and they didn't understand that once you're strong enough, you don't need to curry favor with anyone... Although Qin Chu only understood this principle on his second playthrough.

Saint Monica and Wadsworth's expressions also changed, but unlike Cain and the others who were pale, theirs were filled with excited joy.

The coronation ceremony of the new pope has now turned into a bloodbath.

No one could have predicted this would happen. The clergy watched helplessly as their companions died one by one, letting out pitiful screams as they fled in disarray, unable to escape the chains that were chasing them from behind.

Some clergy wanted to kneel down immediately; glory and pride were all bullshit.

In times like these, survival is the most important thing.

But just as their knees bent, a whirlwind swept over, lifting the clergy into the sky, followed by Blood Rain.

They pleaded with Archbishops Cain and Alger, the vice-principals, for protection, unaware that these men were already in dire straits themselves.

The screams lasted for more than ten minutes before gradually subsiding.

Looking at the ground, it was a river of blood, with severed limbs and dismembered bodies scattered everywhere.

The remaining people kneeling on the ground pressed their foreheads tightly to the ground, trembling.

"Veronica, carry out my orders," Qin Chu said coldly. "And while you're at it, check out the others' houses too..."

Veronica nodded and stepped into the crowd to select the group of people who had been kneeling on the ground to ransack their homes.

Alger and the others' expressions changed drastically. They wanted to stop them, but they didn't dare to say another word.

Beads of sweat soaked his forehead, and an indescribable fear had gripped his entire body.

The waiting was agonizing, agonizing, and unbearable. Qin Chu simply chatted casually with Wadsworth and Saint Monica, as if nothing had happened.

But for Cain, Alger, Galbraine, and others, it was like waiting for a death sentence.

Almost every minute, the pressure on them was constantly increasing.

They even felt that they would die from ruptured hearts before Qin Chu could even judge them.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but with a series of hurried footsteps, Veronica finally returned. Instead of the many carriages loaded with stolen goods, Veronica was carrying only a bag containing a large number of storage rings.

"Your Holiness the Supreme Pope..." Veronica's voice trembled, her tone filled with indescribable reverence, and her eyes revealed a frenzied trembling.

This woman is increasingly resembling a fanatic.

"The results of the raid are in."

"How is it?" Qin Chu, who was talking with Saint Monica and Wadsworth, finally turned his attention away and asked.

"The mansion of nine people, filled with Mana, Holy Crystal, deeds, magic stones, precious potions, and various gems and other high-value items, totaled 174 storage rings... Among them, the Mana cash alone exceeded 3 billion."

Although he already knew that these people were extremely corrupt and filthy, Qin Chu was still shocked after hearing Veronica's report.

Nine people, and just these high-value items alone could fill one hundred and seventy-four storage rings. What does that even mean?

A storage ring, with a space of three meters in length, width, and height, is basically a small room. The high-value items that these people stole, on average, could probably fill twenty rooms per person... and this doesn't even include the storage rings they wear on their hands.

Money! All this money! We're going to be rich!

Perhaps because he was used to poverty on Earth, although wealth didn't mean much to Qin Chu now, a hint of Greed still flashed in his eyes.

Mana alone is worth three billion.

After all, this money should naturally be confiscated, which means it belongs to the Holy Church. As the Pope, it is naturally my money, my money!

"In addition, a large number of antiques and works of art of inestimable value have all been confiscated."

"Report individually." Qin Chu took a deep breath, suppressing the tremor in his heart, and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Cain's mansion was raided Mana; 400 million in cash, 38,000 Holy Crystal, and 34 luxury properties were confiscated. Forty-eight men were rescued..."

As Cain listened to Veronica's voice, his face grew paler and paler.

After Veronica spent a good ten minutes reading out the list, Qin Chu's gaze finally fell on Cain.

"Archbishop Cain, can you tell me where you got so much money, so many Holy Crystal, so many properties? Can you tell me what happened to those boys you rescued?" Qin Chu's voice was heavy with suppressed emotion.

"Ampton embezzled six million Mana, and you think he should be expelled from the Holy Church. So, what kind of punishment do you think you yourself should receive?"

Cain's lips trembled uncontrollably; at that moment, he had absolutely no idea what to say.

"Drag him out and chop him up..."

Qin Chu waved his hand and coldly issued the order.

Cain's expression changed drastically in an instant. Just as he was about to resist, a wave of heat swept over him, Ekaterina appeared beside Cain, placing a hand on Cain shoulder.

Just a few days ago, Ekaterina's Starflame Battle Aura finally broke through again. Although she has not yet broken through the level 90 barrier, her level of 89 is already far beyond what Cain can handle.

Ekaterina's small hands didn't seem to be exerting much force, but Cain felt his legs snap with a crack, his knees breaking, and he collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Seeing that he was about to be executed, Cain was filled with unprecedented fear. He screamed violently, hoping to grasp at the last straw. "Qin Chu, don't you care about Angelica's life anymore? My men have already..."

Angelica?

Qin Chu's eyes narrowed instantly. These bastards actually dared to lay a hand on Angelica?

Court death...

Qin Chu was about to fly into a rage, suddenly, corpses flew through the air and landed with a thud in front of Cain.

"Are these the men you have?" A cool, clear voice accompanied the question. A figure in pure white appeared on the scene, accompanied by a gentle breeze—none other than Angelica.

When Cain saw the familiar corpses on the ground, his face turned completely ashen.

At this point, even the last hope vanished.

A cruel smile appeared on Ekaterina's face as she grabbed Cain by the hair and led him directly to the many clergy kneeling on the ground.

He assumed his stance, and with a swift motion Flamebreaker Greatsword in his hand tore through the enemy.

Laugh!

A perfectly healthy head rolled a long way away, its wide-open eyes still revealing deep resentment and fear.

Chapter 421 Sylph, I'm your fiancé! (3)

The moment Angelica appeared, Qin Chu could tell that Angelica strength had already surpassed level eighty...

Qin Chu didn't sense anything unusual from Angelica for the time being, and this wasn't the right place. He'd check her more carefully once they returned to the palace.

Now that Angelica was alright, Qin Chu felt relieved. However, he had neglected to protect those around him, and the Divine Right Leg had taken up too much time, which made Qin Chu feel somewhat guilty.

Cain was completely useless; Ekaterina chopped off his head.

The round head rolled a long way on the ground, and a deep sense of fear could still be felt in its eyes, which gradually turned gray.

Qin Chu even extracted Cain's soul and burned it to ashes with the Holy Flame.

The soul twists and struggles in agony, a silent scream.

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt their hearts tremble.

She attempted to threaten Qin Chu with Angelica, but unexpectedly touched upon Qin Chu's taboo, resulting in an even more tragic end.

Galbraine, Alger, Wright, and the other three were also terrified.

They had always known that Qin Chu was too powerful for them to handle, but they subconsciously acted according to the mindset of the Holy Church's higher-ups, always prioritizing a certain principle above all else, no matter the circumstances... But Qin Chu was completely different.
