The protection of the Blasphemy Cards

Stiano was filled with rage and shouted at Leodero, "Are you so determined to make things difficult for me? Aren't you afraid of my revenge later?"

If you encounter someone with a more complicated mindset, they might actually be provoked by Stiano's malicious remarks.

However, Leodero's mind was not that complicated to begin with, and he was in a state of anger.

So he said directly, "Do as you please, whatever you want, I'll go along with it."

"I'd like to see whether my Church of Storms is better able to withstand this storm, or your Church of Steam and Machinery is more resilient."

After hearing this, Stiano became completely obedient.

Which church can withstand more turmoil? There is no doubt about it; when facing the True God, no one can withstand it.

Leodero has a clear advantage over Stiano: his form is Stiano.

Once everyone loses their anchor, Leodero will definitely be able to hold out for much longer, perhaps even long enough for him to regain his followers.

However, if Stiano loses its current anchor, it could easily spiral Loss of Control.

Therefore, after making that harsh remark, Stiano immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

He muttered to himself, "That's just a brute. I won't stoop to his level."

Seeing that Stiano remained silent, Leodero excitedly unleashed another Lightning.

Since you have nothing to say, then take this challenge.

Seeing that Leodero had made another move, Stiano knew that his chances were running out, and quickly turned his gaze back to Kronos.

With the combined stealth effects of the Concealment Scarf and the Knight of Misfortune, Stiano almost couldn't find him.

This situation led Stiano to Consciousness believe that this was someone from Amanises, otherwise how could it possess such a powerful stealth effect?

That's not entirely wrong, after all, Kronos was indeed a member of the Church of Evernight, and a double agent who had been hiding for so long.

Amanises should take full responsibility for this; otherwise, he wouldn't have lived up to all the help he'd given her.

The moment Stiano locked onto Kronos again, Kronos sensed it immediately.

Although he didn't know how much longer Stiano could keep chasing him, he clearly couldn't dodge the next attack.

A black aura flowed through him, and then a knight's greatsword appeared in Kronos's hand. How could Knight of Misfortune be without a weapon?

After Stiano locked onto Kronos, he didn't hesitate and immediately made his move.

He had already sensed the damage Leodero was inflicting on him, and if Leodero's next attack maintained this level, his defenses would be completely shattered, and he would be seriously injured.

At that point, he would completely lose the chance to lock onto Kronos, and the Beyonder Characteristic of the Knowledge Emperor would be completely out of his control.

A giant golden hand pressed down on Kronos, as if this strike could shatter Kronos completely.

Kronos had no choice but to fight back.

The knight's greatsword slashed down fiercely, colliding with the golden hand and creating quite a commotion.

Since it was an attack launched from a distance, Stiano's attack couldn't reach its full potential, so a top-tier Archangel could still withstand it.

If he were an King of Angel, perhaps he could be his equal.

However, Kronos is not like that. If he were Servant of Concealment who used the power of the Charm to become Knight of Misfortune, his power might have reached that level.

However, if they don't belong to the same Pathway, then don't even think about it.

Kronos's current power is somewhat weaker than that of an ordinary Archangel, let alone able to withstand a blow from True God.

Therefore, after a few seconds of stalemate between the greatsword and the giant hand, Kronos's greatsword shattered. Although the pale golden light on the giant hand dimmed somewhat, it did not disappear completely and continued to press down on Kronos.

Just then, Kronos prepared to unfurl his Wings of Light.

He never used this Beyonder Item of his, mainly because he didn't want to leave too many traces.

God Almighty's Substitute are so unique that once they leave a trace, they will definitely be recognized when used again.

Even if I manage to escape this calamity, I will still be hunted down afterward.

However, the situation is already so urgent that it's clearly no longer the time to worry about such things.

Just before Kronos was about to unleash his Wings of Light, a familiar voice rang in his ears. "Scatter eleven Blasphemy Card."

Kronos realized instantly that it was Adam's voice. Was he going to help him?

At this moment, if he didn't choose to believe Adam, he had no other choice.

So Kronos didn't hesitate at all and threw out all the Blasphemy Card he had on him.

The Justiciar Card, the Door Card, the Red Priest Card, the Sun Card, the Darkness Card, the Tyrant Card, the Black Emperor Card, the Wheel of Fortune Card, the Fool Card, the Hermit Card, and the Paragon Card—eleven cards flutter in the wind.

At first, everything was chaotic, but suddenly a force appeared that connected them all together.

Kronos sensed it carefully and realized that this power was not the so-called power of the Knowledge Emperor, nor was it related to the Hermit Pathway; it was simply pure Spirituality.

Therefore, in Stiano's view, this must be the petty thief's method.

He had been studying Blasphemy Card for over a century and hadn't discovered any secrets. He didn't believe this petty thief could do anything.

This power did not come from Kronos, but from Adam.

As the founder of the Twilight Hermit Order, he knew his members very well, including, of course, Emperor Roselle.

Therefore, when it comes to understanding Blasphemy Card, Adam is definitely superior to Stiano.

While these Blasphemy Card do not possess particularly powerful abilities, if there are enough of them and they are linked together, they can draw out the power of Emperor Roselle.

As the eleven Playing Cards came together, they began to glow, and then a familiar figure appeared before Kronos.

This person had long, slightly wavy chestnut hair, blue eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and a neatly groomed mustache. He wore a dark red coat with rusted gold thread and a golden crown.

Without a doubt, this is Emperor Roselle.

This figure represents the power of the Knowledge Emperor hidden within the Blasphemy Card.

Emperor Roselle glanced back at Kronos, then said, "Young man, witness firsthand what true power is; it will absolutely dazzle your eyes."

After he finished speaking, a powerful force gathered at Emperor Roselle's forehead, and he directly rammed his head into Stiano's golden hand.

Having been weakened by Kronos's attack, the giant hand was no longer powerful enough and was thus completely shattered in an instant.

Of course, at the same time, the figure of Emperor Roselle also shattered.

Just before he shattered, Emperor Roselle was still shouting, "You must learn this move well! It's called Iron Head Skill, the path to True God!"

As the voice faded, an absurd expression appeared on Kronos's face.

Did Emperor Roselle deliberately leave the power within the Blasphemy Card just to trick future generations?

Iron Head Skill? And a path to True God? Huang Tao really knows how to play games.

The moment Stiano's attack shattered, Leodero's attack struck him once more.

The protective shield shattered completely, and Stiano regained his senses, spitting out a mouthful of blood; he was severely injured.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Adam once again sent a message to Kronos, this time not in words, but with Coordinates.

Since Adam didn't trick me just now, he probably won't this time either, right?

So without much hesitation, Kronos chose the Spirit World Teleportation and teleported towards this Coordinates.

No sooner had Kronos disappeared than Stiano's gaze fell upon him once more.

He did this at the risk of being ambushed by Leodero.

Fortunately, Leodero didn't have such thoughts, so he didn't end up in an even more miserable state.

However, when his gaze returned, Stiano saw nothing. Although there was still a lot of Kronos's aura around him, it was all gone.

Stiano tried to conceal his presence, but still couldn't find any trace of the thief's whereabouts.

This infuriated Stiano.

He was clearly the one who was taking advantage of the chaos to elevate the Church of Steam and Machinery to a higher level.

But to my surprise, my house was robbed. I was seriously injured while trying to catch the thief, but I still couldn't catch him.

However, he was unaware that on the main battlefield, the vast net woven for the God of Combat had been fully unfurled, and the God of Combat had no chance of escaping.

At that point, he'll be the unluckiest guy in the entire war, second only to the God of Combat.

Stiano was unwilling to accept defeat, but that wasn't the point now, because his battle with Leodero wasn't over yet.

If he continues this half-hearted battle, he will most likely die before the God of Combat.

After regaining his composure, Stiano looked at Leodero and said, "I concede. How about we call a truce?"

"There has never been any real hatred between us, and there is no need for a life-or-death battle."

But Leodero scoffed, "Now you know how to say these things? What were you doing before?"

"I know what you're thinking. You want to expand your influence in the Loen Kingdom? Let me tell you, as long as the Church of Storms exists in the Loen Kingdom, I will not let your plans succeed."

Such blunt words left Stiano speechless, but he could only suppress his displeasure and say, "I can compromise on this, as long as you stop bothering me, I'll do whatever you say."

Leodero was somewhat surprised that Stiano would say such a thing. He said, "You'll do whatever I say? Can I make you surrender in public?"

Unexpectedly, Stiano bowed deeply to Leodero and said, "This time, it was my recklessness that offended the Lord of Storms. I, the God of Steam and Machinery, apologize to you. Your power is beyond my reach, and I hope you can forgive my foolishness."

These words weren't just spoken; they were transmitted directly by Stiano's power.

Of course, this wouldn't be heard by ordinary people, but Beyonder whose strength has reached Sequence 4 would be able to detect it.

Seeing Stiano's posture, Leodero was a little dumbfounded. Why did he kneel down so decisively? He hadn't even reacted yet.

After straightening up, Stiano said to Leodero, "I'm not going to concern myself with Amanises's affairs anymore. Do as you please."

After saying that, Stiano disappeared from the spot.

In fact, the moment Stiano's defenses shattered, Adam had already told Leodero that he didn't need to keep bothering him, which is why what happened next occurred.

In fact, Leodero had already planned it out: he would put on a show for a bit, and then generously let Stiano go.

Unexpectedly, Stiano immediately "knelt down" and did so so readily.

But it feels really good, to have a True God apologize to you in public, and publicly at that.

This really satisfied Leodero's ego.

On the battlefield of Backlund, the combination of the God of God of Combat and the Earth Mother was merely the beginning of their encounter with the Evernight Goddess.

Only after all other forces had been successfully restrained did the God of Combat launch a full-scale attack on the Evernight Goddess.

Everyone originally wanted to catch up and exchange some harsh words.

But before they could even speak, a voice reached their ears.

"This time, it was all my recklessness that offended the Lord of Storms... I hope you can forgive my foolishness."

For a moment, Badheil was dumbfounded.

What kind of ally did he find? He thought Stiano's strength was average, but he didn't expect it to be this average.

If Stiano loses, with Leodero joining the fray, wouldn't the battle not produce the result he desires?

However, he didn't notice that his ally had quietly retreated behind him without his knowledge.

Although the battle hasn't started yet, this should be the best opportunity.

Badheil was distracted. If Amanises were to divert his attention even slightly, making him suddenly focus on his opponent, he would immediately reveal a weakness.

At that time, Lilith's sneak attack will be fatal, and the God of Combat Badheil, will have no chance of escaping. He will surely perish here today.
