On the morning of the final day, the Northern Region Empire's army did not descend upon Paris Island as the super-empires gathered on the north bank of the Lancang River had hoped.
This greatly pleased the Holy Church faction on the south bank of the Lancang River.
With the [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ] no longer an obstacle, and with the opportunity to aid the Southern Region Human Clan, the Church can undoubtedly become the core of this allied forces, demonstrating to the entire continent the significance of its existence to the Human Clan.
In the eyes of the Holy Church and its allies, the Goblin Empire was a treasure trove with its doors wide open and no Key needed. As long as they could defeat this vile race and obtain the methods and techniques for making various goblin magical weapons and airships, their power would expand rapidly.
Meanwhile, the super-empires on the north shore of Paris Island were extremely disappointed.
The situation is now very clear.
Without the Northern Region Empire standing on their side, they would be no match for the increasingly powerful and expanding Holy Church. Everyone knows that the battle in the Southern Region is a lucrative opportunity, but without the existence of the [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ], the only powerful ruler capable of confronting the Holy Church, let alone eating meat, these super-empires on the north bank of the Lancang River, which have always been at odds with the Holy Church, would probably not even get a sip of soup.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late morning on the last day.
Within the Holy Church's magical temple, a resounding Light echoed, quickly spreading throughout the entire Paris Island. Around the temporary altar of oath erected in the center of the island, the figures of the leaders of various super powers appeared.
boom!
A powerful force suddenly erupted from the Church Temple, shocking the entire Paris Island.
A silvery light shimmered and fell upon the altar.
Before everyone could react, a figure enveloped in Holy Power flames, whose presence distorted the light and space within a meter of him, appeared at the highest point of the altar.
No one can see through this person's true colors.
However, it was clear that this person possessed immense and astonishing Holy Power, and was the highest-ranking member of the Holy Church's delegation on this occasion.
A vast amount of Holy Power surged from the figure of light, surging across the entire Paris Island like a turbulent ocean. The immense pressure made the nearly 800,000 soldiers on the island feel suffocated.
Ordinary soldiers were fine, but those powerful individuals who had cultivated their Dou Qi and magic to a certain level and were extremely sensitive to the aura of strong people felt a loud bang in their ears, and then suddenly felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on them, making them want to kneel down.
In an instant, countless people spontaneously knelt down around the altar.
Especially those powerful individuals from the north bank of the Lancang River, due to their discord with the Church, were clearly targeted by this mysterious and powerful Church. Waves of Holy Power relentlessly pressed down on them, forcing them to unleash their full strength to Resist this confrontation.
"Pfft..." A powerful figure from the Madrid Empire was so overwhelmed by this deliberately targeted aura that he coughed up blood.
"Ahhhh..." Another powerful figure from the Liverpool Empire, his back bent under the weight, his knees trembling, his body on the verge of bursting, roared and refused to kneel.
This powerful entity, the Church, deliberately intended to use its overwhelming and domineering strength to thoroughly humiliate those forces unwilling to submit to Church.
"Hahaha, still waiting for the Human Emperor of the Northern Region to back you up? Dream on! That fraudster wouldn't dare to come back..." The powerful figures from Juventus and Barcelona laughed gleefully.
They were not under pressure and behaved as usual.
"What is the meaning of this, Your Excellency? We have all come to rescue the Human Clan the Southern Region, so why is the Church targeting us at every turn?"
Among the powerful figures in the North Shore District, someone angrily questioned and shouted.
"Snort!"
In response, a cold, emotionless snort resounded from the orb of light above the altar.
That's all.
The next instant, the overwhelming pressure of the Holy Power not only didn't decrease, but instead intensified, rising sharply. In the blink of an eye, some of the powerful figures in the North Shore District couldn't withstand such terrifying pressure and screamed as they fainted...
Boom! Boom boom!!
A powerful aura finally surged into the sky from the strongman zone on the north bank.
The truly strong began to Resist.
A burly young man with thick eyebrows and large eyes rose slowly in the Liverpool camp area. He had short blond hair, exuded an imposing aura, and had a resolute gaze. He released a powerful red aura, protecting the strongmen of his side.
In the Manchester Empire region, a short, stout, and strong young man with thinning hair on his forehead, yet with an extremely pleasing appearance, also released his aura, single-handedly protecting the strongmen of the Manchester United Empire within.
In the Arsenal Empire region, there was also a tall, handsome, middle-aged powerhouse with short black hair. Following the example of the previous two, he released his domain power to protect his compatriots.
These three men were renowned figures in the Eastern Region Continent, all being God of War of their respective ninth-level empires. Even across the entire Azeroth Continent, they could dominate their respective regions. Their names were Gerrard, Rooney, and Van Persie.
With the appearance of these three, powerful individuals from the North Shore Stronghold continuously stepped forward, unleashing their power and domains to resist the oppressive aura emanating from the mysterious Church on the altar.
"I wield divine authority over this region. What's wrong with me demanding your kneeling? How dare you defy me! You are truly audacious!"
A chilling snort erupted from the orb of light on the altar, its tone stern and imbued with Resist will, roaring like an enraged deity, "A bunch of ants, kneel down before me!"
Before he could finish speaking...
Within this ball of Holy Power light, an even more formidable power suddenly erupted, its oppressive force increasing hundreds of times in an instant, like a tidal wave of destruction, madly pressing down on the powerful area on the north bank.
"Pfft..." Gerrard was the first to be hit, his body swaying, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his expression horrified.
"This is... divine power..."
"At least at the True God Sixth Heavenly Layer..."
" The Church actually sent a deity?"
The Extreme Dao cultivators who could have protected their own people were the first to be affected. Those who were weaker were immediately coughing up blood and falling down. The warriors below them were also severely injured and collapsed to the ground.
Looking around, only Gerrard, Rooney, Van Persie, Silva, and others from the ninth-level empire are barely holding on.
But it was clearly already at its last gasp.
"Hahaha, if you don't become a god, you're just an ant... What Human Emperor of the Northern Region, what Northern Region Empire, are you all pathetic ants? How could you pathetic ants possibly fathom the depth and power of the Church? Those who dare to side with the Human Emperor of the Northern Region to oppose the Church are evil heretics, despicable blasphemers, and will surely suffer divine retribution!"
The light and shadow on the altar surged, from which came wild laughter.
"Now, kneel down and submit to the Church, and only then will your sins be Redemption and forgiven!"
Within the white ball of Holy Power light, Resist sound waves, imbued with the power of divine laws, surged like a tide towards Gerrard and the others who were still holding on.
This power of law contains a hidden killing intent.
The Church actually intends to kill these powerful figures from other super powers?
Could this alliance meeting be a conspiracy? If so, using the safety of the Southern Region's Human Clan as Decoy to meticulously plan and arrange this, then the Church's actions are absolutely heinous and outrageous.
No one could have predicted that things would suddenly develop to this point.
Just then--
" The Holy Church, what a magnificent sight!"
Two figures suddenly appeared in the sky, standing side by side at the forefront of the strong zone on the north bank.
The two unleashed tremendous power, each throwing a punch with Fists of Fire. The intense energy fluctuations shattered the raging tide, actually managing to block the overwhelming pressure of Holy Power a hundred meters away.
The strongmen of the North Shore District escaped unscathed.
"It's Shaarawy..."
"And Cassano..."
"Those two have actually advanced to Godhood? Otherwise, how could they withstand the pressure from True God Eighth Heavenly Layer?"
"Didn't they already pledge allegiance to the [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ]? Could it be... that the Northern Region Empire's army has arrived?"
After the initial shock, an uncontrollable uproar erupted around the altar. The powerful figures discussed amongst themselves, especially those from the forces stationed on the north bank of the Lancang River, whose faces immediately lit up with joy.
The arrival of the Northern Region Empire's forces signifies the emergence of a power capable of countering the Church's overwhelming dominance.
"It was just a joke, but since more people are here, I'll let it go." After a moment of silence, the figure in the violently fluctuating altar light suddenly spoke softly.
This explanation clearly failed to satisfy the powerful figures in the North Shore District.
However, the power of the Church and the terrifying strength displayed by this light and shadow made them dare not speak out against it.
However, the wariness between them only intensified.
"What? [ The Human Emperor of the Northern Region ] only sent you former losers?" Facing Shaarawy and Cassano, the Holy Power light and shadow on the altar still spoke with hostility and disdain, mockingly reminding the two that they were nothing more than defeated opponents of the Church See.
Cassano and Shaarawy completely ignored him.
The two shattered the oppressive power of the Holy Power and shadow with a single blow, landing on the ground. From their storage rings, they took out some strange, enormous components and quickly assembled a massive Ultra-Long-Distance Teleport Magic Array. As the dialing was completed, amidst the flashing magical flames, squads of fully armed Chambord troops from Chambord emerged one after another from the Teleport.
There were human figures, as well as Behemoth Beastmen.
Anyone could see that these soldiers, each with a firm gaze, upright posture, solemn expression, and a bloodthirsty aura, were clearly elites who had seen blood and experienced the battlefield, not, as rumored, a Northern Region Empire of rookies who had never actually been on the battlefield.
"Could this be the legendary Motley Army that is said to be famous throughout the world?" someone whispered.
"No, that's definitely not it. The Motley Army is a cavalry regiment, not this army..." someone shook their head.
"Besides these Motley Army, the Northern Region Empire actually possesses such a powerful army? It seems the rumors are true; the Northern Region Empire can indeed rival the Church!"
The powerful figures who were originally at odds with the Holy Church suddenly brightened up.
The stronger the Northern Region Empire is, the more advantageous it is for them. As long as they attach themselves to the Northern Region Empire, they can minimize the influence of the Church in this alliance. In particular, the mysterious Holy Church's display of power and humiliation of everyone has pushed the various Eastern Region Empires, who already disapproved of the Holy Church's practices, into the Northern Region Empire's camp.
"It's a pity the Motley Army didn't come; we can't witness the Golden Lion's splendor!"
"Yes, without the legendary Golden Lion, Shaarawy and Cassano alone might not be enough to truly contend with the one on the altar."
"Don't be impatient, there might be important figures from the Northern Region Empire arriving."
"Haha, do you think the [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ] will come in person?"
"That's hard to say. The [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ]'s status and position are not what they used to be. He needs to be stationed in the Northern Region Sky City to guard against attacks from the Church. Besides, the Pope of the Church has not come in person. If the Human Emperor of the Northern Region were to come, wouldn't he be lowering his status?"
There was much discussion among the crowd.
Millions of eyes were fixed on the enormous Teleport on the banks of the Lancang River.
Watching the endless stream of the Northern Region Empire soldiers emerge from the gate of light, after nearly half an hour—and after almost ten thousand soldiers had walked out—the gate of light finally underwent a new change.
One hundred beautiful and valiant female magic archers, all at the Moon Class, emerged from inside.
These beautiful archers, each with stunning looks and extraordinary strength, exuded a powerful magical aura, causing countless powerful figures around them to gasp in astonishment. While there were quite a few female powerhouses on the continent, the sudden appearance of so many Moon Class magical archers, all so young and beautiful, was truly rare.
Some lecherous men have already become completely captivated by it.
"Haha, does the Northern Region Empire have no one left? They actually sent a bunch of women to fight here? Haha..." A sharp, mocking voice came from the Barcelona camp below the altar.
Before the words were even finished, a collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.
More than a hundred female archers lined up on either side of the portal of light. Then, a Valkyrie with unparalleled beauty and extraordinary temperament slowly walked out of the portal. Instantly, everyone felt their eyes light up, as if all the brilliance in the world had been completely stolen away by this peerless Valkyrie in that instant.
Your Highness!
Shaarawy and Cassano also bowed respectfully.
At this moment, everyone realized that the Valkyrie who appeared last was actually the true commander of the Northern Region Army, and her status was even higher than that of Shaarawy and the two Young Supremes with illustrious military achievements.
The alliance commander of the Northern Region Empire is actually a woman?
Everyone was astonished.
After much deliberation, considering many candidates, including all the experts under the [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ], no one expected that the person in charge of the Northern Region Empire this time would be a woman of unparalleled beauty and talent.
Two-in-one.
