"It seems the Day God is dead."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't allow the Theocratic Church to collude with heretics."
The patriarch visibly relaxed the moment he saw the archbishop emerge from the church doors.
He was terrified that what emerged from inside wasn't the archbishop, but the Day God.
Despite repeatedly expressing his unwavering determination to slay the god to Qin Ze, the risk of doing so was still too great.
The church's collusion with heretics is good news.
Not only did the Day God die, but the Dark God was very likely not much better off.
All that's needed next is to kill the archbishop, Theocratic Church will fall apart.
The royal family will regain full power and launch a counterattack against heresy.
The prince turned to Qin Ze and said, "Senior, the God-Slaying Cannon will take some time to activate. I'll leave the rest to you."
Qin Ze nodded and soared into the air.
The Giant Overlord and the Sophist followed closely behind.
The other impatient clones, just like the bandits descending the mountain, swarmed down in a chaotic rush.
Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince quickly instructed the researchers surrounding the God-Slaying Cannon: "Activate."
The researcher nodded and immediately began to work on it.
Qin Ze has arrived at the center of Sun Lake.
The archbishop felt an intense sense of oppression simply from his presence.
The archbishop spoke up, saying, "What His Highness gave you, I can give you back in the same way, even double."
Qin Ze smiled and said, "I've heard you're an extremely xenophobic guy. Now you're not only joining forces with heretics, but you're even trying to bribe me."
The archbishop said calmly, "In order to achieve final victory, it is necessary to temporarily abandon one's former beliefs."
Qin Ze asked curiously, " The Day God is dead?"
The archbishop remained silent.
But his silence was already an answer.
If the archbishop were to open his coffin at this moment, the Theocratic Church would be the first to suffer.
When Preacher and believers of opposing gods mingle together, the explosion is no less intense than Heavenly King of Niuniu loyal Battle General in Circus.
boom--
The archbishop struck first, delivering a punch straight to Qin Ze's face.
"Too slow."
Qin Ze shook his head and easily dodged it.
Then a bolt of lightning shot from his fingertip, piercing the archbishop's chest.
The archbishop's face was filled with terror and horror.
Even though the other party is also at the Peak of Level Nine, why is there such a terrifying gap between us?
The archbishop was unaware of the theory of superior and inferior horses, and Qin Ze was too lazy to explain it to him; he wasn't worthy of listening.
The reason Qin Ze didn't kill the Archbishop instantly was that he wanted to see the power of that God-Slaying Cannon.
The God-Slaying Cannon was activated at that moment.
The Engraving on the cannon barrel were lit up one by one, emitting a dazzling purple light.
Looking down at Qin Ze, who was confronting the archbishop, from the hillside, the prince said softly, "Senior, for the future of Great Cang, we have no choice but to ask you to die."
Buzz--
Immediately afterwards, an invisible shockwave swept out.
Apart from the warriors from the Nightshade Research Institute, everyone else present, including members of the Circus, heretics, and church believers, had their Source of Life being drained by the God-Slaying Cannon.
Activating Martial Artifact requires energy.
Without a doubt, the energy required by this God-Slaying Cannon is the Source of Life.
The archbishop clutched the bleeding hole in his chest and said, "You may be strong, but you're a brainless idiot."
"Trying to get something from a tiger will only result in losing everything."
The archbishop touched the ring on his hand, and a faint light enveloped his entire body, instantly halting the loss of his Source of Life.
At the same time, other believers also reached for the rings on their hands.
The archbishop continued, "His Highness will not keep someone as threatening as you by his side."
"Use your life, the lives of your men, and the lives of everyone in the city behind you to activate the God-Slaying Cannon and kill me. Kill two birds with one stone."
"But His Highness would never have imagined that I already knew about his little tricks."
The archbishop looked at the battlefield not far away; there were very few warriors left in the research institute.
Just as Qin Ze had predicted, there was a traitor within the Nightshade Research Institute, and he had informed the Archbishop of all the details of the operation in advance.
However, the last person who tried to absorb the Source of Life of the Pretty God is now buried under two-meter-high weeds.
The prince on the hillside looked extremely grim.
Even after the God-Slaying Cannon was activated, the Archbishop and the Church Warriors remained lively and energetic.
Even Qin Ze was not affected.
The prince asked the operator beside him, "Is that enough?"
The operator shook his head.
The prince hardened his heart and gritted his teeth, saying, "Then we'll sacrifice another city."
"Things have come to this point; neither the archbishop nor he can stay."
With the pretense of civility already broken, Qin Ze's continued existence is undoubtedly a huge threat.
The Engraving on the God-Slaying Cannon shone brightly once more, and the shockwave expanded several times over, encompassing cities even further away.
Ordinary people who came into contact with the shockwave instantly collapsed to the ground, their Source of Life completely absorbed.
Countless blue streaks of light flew in from afar and converged on the God-Slaying Cannon, causing its sharp muzzle to begin charging.
The archbishop looked at Qin Ze with pity. "I already gave you a chance to live, but you broke the olive branch that was meant to save you."
Qin Ze said calmly, "What are you talking about?"
He had been searching for the guy who was secretly observing him.
As expected, it was that Balance Aberrant Beast.
Even now, the Balance Aberrant Beast still hasn't shown up, and Qin Ze has lost all patience.
boom--
The God-Slaying Cannon fired a purple beam of destructive light, aiming straight for Qin Ze's back, intending to pierce through the archbishop in front of him as well.
The archbishop, who was prepared, immediately activated his spatial teleportation Martial Artifact, instantly Teleportation himself to the top of the church.
Just when everyone thought Qin Ze would be obliterated by this shot, something astonishing happened.
Qin Ze effortlessly raised his right hand, completely intercepting the purple beam of destruction.
"This... how is this possible!" The Crown Prince's eyes widened. "Didn't you say this shot was enough to destroy a god? Why couldn't it even kill a Level Nine Martial Artist!"
The operator was also bewildered. "This shouldn't be happening..."
Qin Ze's last bit of patience was completely worn away, and golden Divine Markings crept up half of his cheek.
"So you're all villains? Then I have no qualms about it."
boom--
A raging Blazing Sun Fire erupted from Qin Ze's body.
Everyone felt as if a raging wall of fire was coming towards them.
They had no time to escape, and before they could even feel the pain, they were directly refined.
The church was transformed into a giant ice cream cone, melting rapidly from the top down.
All was silent.
Only Qin Ze and his clone remained above Sun Lake.
"How?"
"Aren't you going to come out and show yourself?"
"Your Preacher are all dead."
This decisive battle is almost over, bringing together all the top combat forces of the heretics and the Great Cang.
Now Qin Ze has made a name for himself.
With neither side having Preacher left, the faith-harvesting system painstakingly built by the Balance Aberrant Beast has collapsed.
It was like someone sticking chopsticks straight into its lungs; Qin Ze didn't believe it could endure that.
Glug glug~
Suddenly, the lake surface began to boil.
