Chapter 1988

~9 min read 1,613 words

The old Holy King died and came back to life. This news spread in the imperial capital at an amazing speed, and under the instigation of those who cared, there were two versions of this news.

The first was that the old Holy King was favored by the Goddess, so he was able to die and come back to life.

The second was that the old Holy King coveted immortality, blasphemed the gods, and used evil methods to pull the Goddess into the world.

For the two messages, most civilians believed the former. After all, they all witnessed the location where the Goddess phantom descended, which was in the Moon Goddess Monastery.

However, the Goddess did not descend miracles in the monastery, but crossed a small half of the capital and arrived above Lulunfei Palace.

Faith was shaken. The Moon Goddess favored the Holy King, not her representative in the world, the Moon Goddess.

The consequence of this incident was that the thousands of believers who often came to the monastery to pray only came less than two-thirds the next morning.

What was even more fatal was that the main entrance of the cathedral was closed, and no believers were allowed to enter. Nearly a hundred Moon Apostles stood in front of the door.

This made the believers even more shaken. The move of the Moon Goddess Monastery to close the grand auditorium was almost cutting off its own retreat.

In fact, the Moon Goddess didn't want to, but the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue was stolen again. Even after rearranging a large number of mechanisms, dozens of Moon Apostles stared at the goddess statue at night, and the goddess statue was still stolen.

The Moon Apostles present at the time had the same statement: the goddess statue suddenly disappeared, just disappeared out of thin air.

After the Moon Goddess arrived, she didn't say a word and turned away. At the moment, she wanted to complete another thing more. As long as that old guy lay back in the coffin again, everything would end. She had many ways to deal with rumors, and the goddess statue was at most reshaped.

However, things would not develop as the Moon Goddess imagined. What she needed now was time, but the enemy didn't give her time to breathe at all.

"Get out of the way, closing the cathedral for no reason, are you crazy?"

A loud shout came from outside the main entrance of the monastery. The believers who were theorizing with the Moon Apostles in the courtyard quieted down. Soon, some of the believers began to make trouble.

"Goddess... may no longer look here."

Among the crowd of believers, such a sentence suddenly came.

"Who said that? Stand out!"

A Moon Apostle glared at the goddess believers present.

"It wouldn't be... like this, right."

"How is it possible, the monastery has always been a place of faith, don't be confused."

"That's right."

The low discussion of the believers made the hundreds of Moon Apostles breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Goddess no longer favors this place. The Holy King is the Goddess's walker on the ground. The Moon Goddess is just an old virgin who can't get married."

Another loud shout, still the same thorn-headed believer just now. What was magical was that his voice was very high, but the hundreds of Moon Apostles couldn't find where he was.

"Who said that? Stand out for me!!"

Tree Wolf was angry. He looked around at the goddess believers, trying to find that thorn.

"Ah!"

A scream came, attracting everyone's attention.

A withered man fell to the ground. He covered his throat with both hands, and blood sprayed from between his fingers, spraying other believers nearby.

A Moon Apostle holding a square shield, the shield covered in blood, stood there with a stunned expression. On the sharp edges of the shield, some minced meat was still hanging.

"It wasn't me, he, he bumped into it himself."

Blood dripped along the shield, and the diamond-shaped seal in the center of the shield was particularly eye-catching. The somewhat panicked Moon Apostle retreated several steps, and what greeted him were hundreds of angry eyes.

"The monastery slaughtered the innocent!!"

That thorn-headed believer roared with all his might.

"Retreat, retreat quickly."

Tree Wolf knew that the situation was starting to be bad. He was not letting the believers retreat, but letting the Moon Apostles retreat.

"Lie down, everyone, lie on the ground, raise your hands."

A Moon Apostle didn't retreat, but stepped forward and roared loudly.

"You get back for me!"

Tree Wolf's eyes widened, and he rushed towards the Moon Apostle. However, there were too many believers around, and he didn't dare to use force.

The roaring Moon Apostle looked at Tree Wolf. One of his eyes was dull, obviously a fake eye.

While all the believers didn't know what happened, the one-eyed Moon Apostle tore something off his back waist.

Seeing the thing in the one-eyed Moon Apostle's hand, a chill emerged from Tree Wolf's heart.

Ding~

The arm blade protruded from Tree Wolf's cuffs. He swung his arm, and the half-meter-long arm blade shot out.

Hiss.

The arm blade plunged into the one-eyed Moon Apostle's throat and pierced straight through. The blood-stained arm blade plunged into the wall in the distance.

With a jingle, a metal locking ring flew up in the one-eyed Moon Apostle's hand, and he fell to the ground weakly.

"No."

Tree Wolf rushed forward with all his might.

Boom!

Steam expanded, and diamond-shaped metal shrapnel mixed with whimpering sounds flew out, instantly turning the believers within a dozen meters into sieves.

Tree Wolf was blown away by the impact of the steam. He rolled on the ground twice and stood up. The tragedy in his eyes made his eyes widen.

Broken limbs and bones were blown everywhere. That steam bomb was obviously improved, reducing the power of the shrapnel, causing the believers who fell to the ground with serious injuries to scream endlessly.

"Save people, save people quickly."

Tree Wolf still wanted to save it, but unfortunately, his peripheral vision saw three Moon Apostles take out steam bombs and throw them into the crowd.

Boom, boom, boom...

Four consecutive explosions resounded through a small half of the imperial capital, and the army in the city swarmed to the Moon Goddess Monastery.

The Moon Goddess Monastery was derelict in its duty to guard the "Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue," and to cover up the scandal, it used steam bombs to slaughter civilians.

Once this news came out, the residents of the empire were in an uproar, and according to reliable information, more than 2,000 goddess believers were trapped in the Moon Goddess Monastery.

When the Flower of the Empire, Sonia, hurried over with people, seeing the tragedy in the inner courtyard, her heart was already half cold.

"Tree Wolf, what a good thing you did."

Sonia's lips were trembling.

"It has nothing to do with me..."

"Bullshit, how did those people mix in? Can't you recognize a strange face?"

Sonia naturally knew what was going on. She was asking Tree Wolf why there were enemy people mixed in with the Moon Apostles.

"Those... are not strange faces. Alva, who started first, I have known him for at least ten years."

Hearing Tree Wolf's words, Sonia was obviously stunned for a moment.

"What does the Goddess mean?"

Tree Wolf's only backbone now was the Moon Goddess.

"The Goddess asks us to survive tonight. After tonight, we win, and everything will pass."

"Understood."

Tree Wolf's fighting spirit recovered in his eyes. What he feared was seeing no hope at all.

"Be careful of Kukuline, he will definitely come."

"Leave it to me, this time... I won't lose."

Tree Wolf raised his hand and pressed it to his severed arm. Last time he didn't use his full strength and lost an arm.

That afternoon, the Moon Goddess Monastery was surrounded by 40,000 soldiers.

Almost at the same time, those officials who originally supported the Moon Goddess began to defect to the old Holy King. This was the general trend. The old Holy King's fake death pushed the Moon Goddess to the edge of the cliff.

There were a total of 4,250 Moon Apostles in the Moon Goddess Monastery, which made it impossible for the army to enter the Moon Goddess Monastery, but the conflict intensified.

At 7:00 PM that night, on the roof of a building half a kilometer away from the Moon Goddess Monastery, Su Xiao ended his brief contact with Amu. Amu was still swimming in the sea, which was extremely miserable.

The situation at the moment was already very clear. After the old Holy King seized divine power, those wall-grass officials defected one after another. What to do next was to level the Moon Goddess Monastery, which was impossible before, but now, the Moon Goddess Monastery had scandals one after another and lost the hearts of the people.

The Moon Goddess still didn't release those 2,000-plus believers, and had already calmed those people down. This was a fairly smart decision. If there were no hostages, the Moon Goddess Monastery would be bombarded. After all, this was the imperial capital. Even the old Holy King couldn't do things completely. If he lost the hearts of the people, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.

"My lord, the time is up."

A black shadow appeared beside Su Xiao.

"People in the Moon Goddess Monastery, leave no one alive."

Su Xiao leaped from the roof and walked towards the Moon Goddess Monastery. The moon tonight was very round, and it was vaguely red, giving people a sense of ominousness.
