An incredibly terrifying power swept across the surroundings, causing massive cracks to appear in the Holy Church's defenses.
Then it collapsed.
Impacted by this terrifying force, the Holy Church collapsed over a large area.
The Martial Soul of those in the Holy Church were also directly impacted by this terrifying power after the Holy Church's defensive magic collapsed.
Many people died directly from this force.
The remaining people were blasted away by the force, coughing up blood.
Only a handful of people, including Saint John, were able to stand there with difficulty.
After the explosion from the energy collision subsided, everyone stared in horror at the epicenter. Well, the epicenter itself was unharmed; the spot where Zesi was standing was completely intact, but only beneath Zesi feet.
A terrifyingly large hole appeared all around, like a massive canyon formed after an atomic bomb attack.
Moreover, the cracks continued to extend in all directions. Saint John's face was also extremely ugly. 840 used the Holy Sanctuary Magic and borrowed the power of the Holy Ark to launch his strongest attack, but he couldn't do anything to the Azure Emperor. On the contrary, the Holy Church was completely destroyed in the aftershocks of the attack, and only half of the ruins could be seen. The other half had completely disappeared. "Damn it." Saint John looked at Zesi angrily.
"Whoosh!" Saint John's words had barely fallen when he was met with Saint John 'Zesi sword in his fury. Zesi lightly swung the Azure Emperor Sword in his hand, easily cleaving the earth in two, and a terrifying sharpness swept past Saint John.
In an instant, the half-ruined church behind Saint John was completely obliterated by this sword strike.
Saint John's legs trembled slightly as he glanced at the Holy Church behind him. Although his expression remained calm, he was filled with immense terror.
If that sword strike had been slightly off-target, it would have been him who was wiped out.
Saint John had never felt so close to death.
Although it was only the death of the Martial Soul, not actual death.
But without his Martial Soul, he will lose everything he has now. "You must learn not to anger those stronger than you, because you cannot withstand their wrath. Just like now, if I become angry, you will disappear like this church," Zesi said calmly. "You..."
Zesi slashed out again, cleaving the ground to Saint John's right. The terrifying sharpness swept past Saint John and struck a mountain behind him, splitting it in two.
"When you encounter someone stronger than you, you should learn to be humble," Zesi said.
As he spoke, Zesi's eyes gleamed with an incomparably majestic light.
Under that oppressive gaze, Saint John swallowed hard, a look of horror on his face, his body involuntarily trembling with fear.
"What do you wish to do?" Saint John asked, taking a deep breath and speaking with a respectful expression.
"That's more like it. Don't worry, I have no intention of killing you. After all, I'm still quite vulnerable in reality and I'm not prepared to die with you all. If I wanted to kill you, you would have already died. The purpose of my visit is simply to discuss something with you. However, I'm a newcomer, and I was afraid my words wouldn't be taken seriously, so I just demonstrated my strength a little." Zesi said with a smile.
How about showing off your skills a little?
You destroyed my Holy Church just by showing me a little power?
John couldn't help but grit his teeth, but dared not speak.
"Discuss something? What is it?" Saint John asked, barely suppressing his anger.
"Recently, many assassins have appeared in District Z. I heard someone from the Assassins' Alliance has issued a mission to kill my real-world Martial Soul Master, which is very bothering me." "This matter has nothing to do with me."
"I don't care whether it's related to you or not, I don't want anyone to disturb my real life. If my real-life Martial Soul Master dies, I will go crazy. I won't be as rational as I am now, and I don't know what I might do. What you need to consider is whether you can withstand my wrath."
"Because my first act of anger will be directed at you and the Blood Earl," Zesi said calmly.
Saint John's face darkened.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. If I were you, I would log off immediately and resolve this matter. After all, my patience has its limits," Zesi said calmly.
Upon hearing Zesi's words, Saint John's expression changed.
"I will definitely handle this matter properly for you, and this will never happen again," Saint John said bitterly.
"You'd better be able to handle this. If something goes wrong on my end, I wouldn't mind a massacre in the west. Anyway, without the bond of the Martial Soul Master, I'll have no connection with the real world anymore. Who cares if aliens invade Mercury after the century-long protection period?" Zesi said calmly.
"Then I'll be going now. If anything comes up, I'll come to you for help. After all, you're in charge of the Federation!" Zesi said, disappearing from the scene.
Watching Zesi disappear, Saint John was extremely frustrated. Since he became Martial Soul Master and founded the Holy Church, when had he ever been treated like this?
But he had to deal with Zesi's problems.
He summoned several Martial Soul who were still able to move, gave them some instructions, and then logged off.
He must deal with this matter as soon as possible. If it really drives the Azure Emperor mad, a massacre in the west is entirely possible.
From the battle just now, he realized that the Azure Emperor's combat power far exceeded his expectations.
I can't stop this madman, the Holy Church can't stop him, and even joining forces with the Blood Earl can't stop him.
It's only possible if Lucifer intervenes.
But getting Lucifer to intervene is very difficult.
He never bothered to interfere in their affairs.
If Zesi goes on a rampage, the entire west will be devastated, and his Holy Church will be the first to suffer.
At that time, he would once again face the wrath of the Azure Emperor.
