Joan ran wildly across the vast land under the cover of night, but she also admired everything around her that had been created by her own hands.

"This is the true face of God's Judgment......

There was a rumbling sound behind him, and the white light was raging, but he only felt comfortable.

This is what it feels like to have power, and as long as Joan still wants to be someone who has the ability to subvert everything and change everything, she must firmly grasp the sword in her hand.

The name "Divine Annihilation" is not obvious among the people, and it is a secret that only some military and political dignitaries and high-ranking clergy know in the Kingdom of Esperia.

As for the ordinary aristocracy and members of the high society, they will only know that the national treasure of the country was given by a certain Seraph, and held by the family of the rulers of the time - in the past, the Medici family, and since his father, Galotania, it has become Borgia.

However, the "Day of Judgment" triggered by divine annihilation is different. This word appears more than once in the Holy Scriptures, and it is known to everyone among the faithful as long as it is in the territory under the rule of the Holy See.

It is not a prophecy or a threat, but a transcendent phenomenon that has indeed occurred several times in history, destroying more than one pagan lair, city, or Order, symbolizing the wrath of the gods that destroys everything—

In fact, the capital of the Demon Empire was destroyed by "Judgment Day".

In the Holy See's holy scriptures, that scene is described as follows:

“…… And the angel sent fire and brimstone down from heaven to the enchanted cities, and destroyed them, and all the plains, and all the inhabitants of them, and all that grew up in them......

The true face of the so-called "Judgment Day" is the power of the "Angel of War", one of the four Seraphs.

Items such as "Divine Annihilation" and other "artifacts" are not goods that can be easily manufactured, but must be achieved by sacrificing a part of the power of the gods, and it has long gone beyond the scope of so-called alchemical weapons.

Because of the "power" that houses the face, theologians and interpreters believe that although the artifact is lifeless, its essence is closer to that of a sublime being such as "demigod" or "subgod".

In other words, they are the embodiment of God's power on earth.

Even if a god is immortal, high in the kingdom of God or in the clouds, once he loses a certain power in order to make an artifact, he really loses it—unless he destroys the artifact again, he can take his power back.

Is there really a god willing to make such a sacrifice?

Not to mention the exalted Them, even ordinary extraordinary beings, it is impossible for them to make such a stupid choice:

Because human beings use weapons to strengthen themselves; And through a ritual that loses a part of its strength and cannot be repaired afterwards, in exchange for an item that may be lost and lost, and that may be taken away by others, will only weaken oneself and increase the risk......

Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Therefore, the number of artifacts in this world is extremely scarce, far rarer than the number of gods that have been born.

Every artifact born may mean the fall of a god; Or at the very least, it symbolizes humiliating defeat.

It means that a god who is supposed to be absolutely free and unscrupulous has no choice but to divide his power as a last resort.

The history of artifacts is not very old, the first artifact was born in the middle of the Bronze Age, and the main reason is that it is from that time that there are examples of the fall of gods in the world:

Some were pushed down to the dust by hostile gods, some were usurped by mortals who took the path to godhood, and the remaining part was after being defeated, after being extracted from the core power by others and made into an artifact, they could no longer restore the person of the god.

In other words, any artifact, from the moment it was born, can be seen as a clear proof of the failure of a certain order or even a certain god system.

So, for a long time, even the possession of the artifact itself was considered a "taboo......

But now, the Eternal War has ended, and the gods no longer fall, so since the beginning of the Black Iron Age, there has been no increase in artifacts in the world.

The Holy See can master three artifacts at the same time, which is unique in the Mayan world, and it deserves to be a huge force second to none; The reason for this is related to the "secret history" of the Dawn Church at the beginning

Although the "Four Seraphs" under the throne of the Lord God - at the beginning of the millennium dynasty - although they are claimed to be the "angels" who serve the Lord God, in fact, anyone who knows a little about the history of the church before the Old Testament knows that they are not at all on the same level as the other gods' acolytes (real angels), and they were once gods equal to the person of the Lord God.

Since the three artifacts in the possession of the Holy See all came from the Seraphs, some deviant theologians in the past boldly pointed out that this was a means of rule by the Lord God to prevent the Seraphs from developing disobedient disagreements and weakening them by dividing their power.

Whatever the facts, as stated in the preface, the "Divine Annihilation" in the hands of Joan Borgia did come from the "Angel of War" who ruled over the killing and conquest of the world.

Now Joan can't fully exert his power, the judgment day of the Holy See's history to destroy the Demon City lasted for three days and three nights, and now he can only last less than ten seconds......

Even so, Joan believes that the legendary dark wizard who has been attacked and fused with the "Lord of Worms" must now be more than lucky; Even if I can survive, I'm afraid there will only be half a breath left.

Joan had already searched with her "Mind Sense" just now, but she didn't notice any sign of a living thing. If the old man is either dead, he can only hide in the body of the demon, and there is nothing to worry about.

Of course, the legion demons with tenacious vitality will not die so easily, just try the shrill cry of the demon - it sounds miserable, but it is actually alive and well.

"Judgment Day" really hit the other party hard in one fell swoop, but maybe in another half a month, this big fat worm will be able to recover most of its injuries......

Maybe only the Seraphs came to the world to burn it with a sword.

On the other hand, Joan vaguely felt that Howard Nuren might really be able to survive, and that guy was really not easy to deal with...... Being able to control the Lord of the Worms was a surprise in itself, and that old guy hadn't even used his legendary magic yet!

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no other way, Joan would not have drawn his sword.

He didn't plan to kill them all because there was no time.

- The enemy of this night, this wilderness, is far more than a dark wizard.

Qiong An'an was in the middle of the lightning, and a spirit was stirred up on his back, and he instinctively sensed a figure approaching at high speed.

He narrowed his eyes, sighed to himself, and stopped.

“…… It came so fast. ”

I don't know when, in the dark night in the distance, a black-robed figure wearing a silver-white mask appeared.
