Chapter 1883: Fierce Battle

"Yes, it is not my place to point fingers, but don't you find it disgusting that you spend every day perched on your moral high ground pointing fingers at others?" Chen Yu sneered: "I didn't come here for anything else today; I just want to figure out what secret is hidden inside this church of yours."

"It has nothing to do with you. I have already given you a warning, telling you to leave here quickly, but you did not listen to my words." Otto slowly raised the Scepter in his hand: "I represent the teachings of the Lord. If you do not listen to my instructions, you are setting yourself against the Lord."

"All heretics who set themselves against the Lord shall be nailed to the cross and accept the burning of the raging fire. Only when the raging fire burns you to ashes can your sins be cleansed."

A faint white light emanated from his Scepter. These white lights slowly magnified, and in an instant, the entire church was enveloped in this sliver of white light.

Otto chanted extremely abstruse and difficult-to-understand incantations. These incantations were very complex and also very long. The white light became increasingly blinding, just like a small sun.

"Those who blaspheme the glory of the Lord shall be punished." Otto suddenly raised the Scepter in his hand and pointed it fiercely at Chen Yu.

Whoosh—a milky-white radiance suddenly lit up, and within this white light, it was as if thousands of troops and horses were surging toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu suddenly stepped forward, drew the Lichen in his hand, pointed it forward, and then slashed horizontally with his sword.

With a hum, it sounded as if a thunderclap had erupted out of thin air. The power of Chen Yu's sword strike was like surging river water, sweeping all the cavalry shadows within that radiance into it.

As his power reached its peak, the white light was suppressed, and along with the thousands of troops and horses within the white light, they were all reduced to powder in this instant.

As the radiance slowly dissipated, Otto felt a violent shock in his chest. He retreated three steps in a row, his face deathly pale.

It could be said that he had used all his strength in this strike, and he also had the Scepter in his hand. He had originally thought that taking down Chen Yu was a sure thing, but he had not expected that the opponent would defeat him in a single strike.

"So, you are also a powerhouse?" Otto looked at Chen Yu in shock, his face full of disbelief.

"I wouldn't call myself a powerhouse, but for hypocritical things like you, I think it is simply too easy to deal with you." Chen Yu smiled: "If you have any other tricks, use them all; I'll take them."

"Do you know that you are setting yourself against the Lord?" Otto said solemnly.

"Hmm, that's right, I am setting myself against the Lord, so what?" Chen Yu spread his hands, looking indifferent.

"The Lord will punish you." Otto looked at Chen Yu coldly; his gaze was as if he were looking at a dead man.

"In fact, this is not the first time I have provoked your Pope; this is the third time. Hasn't your Lord failed to do anything to me?" Chen Yu smiled slightly: "It seems your Lord is not as efficacious as you say."

"You have blasphemed the Lord three times?" Otto looked at Chen Yu in surprise, and then a surge of anger welled up from the depths of his eyes: "A person who has blasphemed the Lord three times can actually still live in this world?"

"It seems the Lord is too merciful to you. Since that is the case, then I will punish you on behalf of my Lord, so that you know the rules of this world are destined."

"I have always questioned the existence of your Lord." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "And your Lord does not seem to protect you very well either."

"Shut up, the Lord is omnipresent, He is omnipotent." Otto shouted in a deep voice. He slammed the Scepter in his hand heavily onto the ground again, and the milky-white radiance lit up once more.

"Those who blaspheme the gods shall be judged by the gods. Die."

As his grand voice rang out, the entire church was made to hum and vibrate. He pointed the Scepter in his hand at Chen Yu, and a beam of radiance shot into the sky, condensing into a giant palm print that pressed down toward Chen Yu.

Immediately, a cruel expression appeared on this guy's face; he thought that this time Chen Yu would definitely die.

But very quickly, his smile froze on his face.

Chen Yu gestured with his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his hand once again. A Sword Qi emanated from the tip of the Lichen sword; this Sword Qi grew with the opportunity, instantly becoming over a zhang in size.

Chen Yu took a sharp step forward, then slashed forward with the Lichen in his hand, drilling into that giant palm print, man and sword together.

With a flash of his figure, he drilled through the palm print, and that palm print condensed from milky-white radiance immediately froze in mid-air.

Suddenly, that palm print collapsed at an extremely fast speed, and then shattered with a boom.

Pfft... Otto's figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string. With a thud, he slammed heavily against the wall, then was rebounded back. He lay on the ground, no longer having the strength to resist.

Chen Yu walked up slowly, and he said indifferently: "I still want to know what secret you have here. Tell me, and I will give you a quick end."

"Hehe, our Pope is carrying out an extremely grand plan. This plan can change everything for us." Otto grinned as he raised his head; a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, making him look extremely terrifying.

"Oh, what plan?" Chen Yu smiled slightly. He walked up and tilted his head to look at him.

"The current Lord... has not given us a response for a long time. If He does not give us a response, we cannot obtain Faith Power from Him." Otto muttered: "Once we have no way to obtain Faith Power, our strength will stagnate."

"By chance, we discovered that we can enhance our strength by obtaining Dark Power. Obtaining Dark Power is much easier than Faith Power."

"So, you changed the plan; you no longer believe in the Lord, you want to believe in Satan?" Chen Yu asked.

"Hehe, Satan generously gives us power and lets us grow; why shouldn't we believe in him?" Otto chuckled: "It's just that the image of the Lord is already deeply rooted in people's hearts; we cannot go and spend the time and effort to change their thinking."

"So the Satan plan can only be carried out in the dark. We only need to use a few small tricks to let Dark Creatures come into this world, and then we can obtain a lot of power to let us constantly grow stronger. Isn't that good?"

Otto climbed up with difficulty and stood straight: "When these plans first started, I also felt it was inconceivable."

"But when I obtained Dark Power and my growth accelerated, I suddenly discovered that this plan is not without its merits. We only need to pay a small price."
