Chapter 356: The Desperate God! The Army That Crumbled in One Blow!

In the capital of the Hilin Kingdom, hundreds of thousands of civilians watched the battle in the sky.

There, it was a battlefield for gods!

"Look, it's coming again!"

Many people shouted out together.

Outside the city, behind the orc army, the hundred thousand conscripted peasant troops and noble forces also stared upward.

Princess Luoying had already ordered them not to engage; the ground battle had not yet begun, and even if it did, they were to watch the sky first.

A clash between god and god!

Such a thing might only be seen once in a lifetime!

Under the gaze of over a hundred pairs of eyes, twenty divine punishment columns plunged down from the sky once more.

Then, flames erupted skyward, rising hundreds of meters high and completely swallowing the divine punishment columns!

"Whoa!"

At the sight of this, countless people screamed in astonishment!

Because the scene was truly astonishing.

The flames had shot up hundreds of meters high!

Even the clouds in the sky were instantly burned clean away.

This sight made them involuntarily cry out "Whoa!"

At that moment, at least six or seven hundred thousand people shouted "Whoa!" simultaneously.

So many people shouted that the sound drowned out the noise of the orc warriors advancing.

Immediately after, they saw the twenty divine punishment columns shrink under the fierce blaze.

Shortly after piercing through the flame barrier, they vanished completely, as if they had never existed.

"Who can tell me—who won?"

Inside Wang Cheng, a woman, though stunned by the sky battle, could not tell who was who or who had won.

"Probably the Lord of Flames won?"

A man said uncertainly.

"Of course the Lord of Flames won—didn't you see our god's divine punishment never landed? If our god had won, the divine punishment would've already crushed the Yan army!"

One man said, still stunned by the Lord of Flames' power.

"Oh no, does that mean we're finished?"

The woman who had asked earlier cried out in alarm!

"Finished? What nonsense—it's the Church that's finished, what's it got to do with us? The Lord of Flames is so powerful, and Yan has divine potatoes and divine sweet potatoes—maybe Hilin Kingdom will become the Lord of Flames' realm, and we might even live better!"

Another man said.

This man voiced the thoughts of many.

This was the effect of three days of propaganda and the potatoes and gold coins.

The Lord of Flames had already gained an excellent reputation among the people of Hilin Kingdom.

So even though Hilin's citizens saw their own god losing ground, few were truly worried.

Outside the city, Princess Luoying's hundred-thousand-strong army and the nobles who had joined voluntarily, seeing the Lord of Flames overpower Hilin's god in combat, burst into cheers!

There were still those who worried—the Church members.

The Grand Archbishop's unease had surfaced on his face.

His expression had turned grim.

The Quyuzhu Sect bishops, too, wore grim faces—especially Baowenzhu Sect, who had once urged the Slo family to attack Yan during his time in the eastern region.

One could imagine: if Yan won, he didn't know whether the other bishops would die, but he himself would be finished.

Yet even knowing he was finished, he had no way out.

"Our god must have another trick—he's so powerful, he can't possibly lose."

Baowenzhu Sect could only comfort himself this way!

But Baowenzhu Sect did not know.

Their god's mood was no better than theirs!

The Hilin Kingdom's god had already expended more than one-fifth of his own power.

Ninety-five percent of that one-fifth was lost in transmission, but regardless of loss, the total divine energy spent remained.

Yet despite this staggering consumption, the Lord of Flames had still intercepted it!

At this moment, the king, possessed by the divine consciousness, his face usually cold and indifferent, had turned extremely grim.

The king possessed only Sixth Rank strength.

After being possessed by the divine consciousness and receiving divine energy, he could be raised only to Eighth Rank.

Because the body's limits were absolute—power could not be infused without bound.

That would be unrealistic; too much power would cause the king's body to collapse instantly!

But the opponent had a forbidden spell mage too!

The Hilin Kingdom's god hesitated—should he unleash another divine punishment?

But if he did, he would have almost no power left.

You should know that right now, on the southern highlands of the Horton Kingdom, the gods of the Xiling Kingdom are also descending with their power, clashing with the gods of the Horton Kingdom.
