(Add more, the day after tomorrow I guess I will continue to add more, in fact, when I wrote this chapter, I was quite emotional, both idealistic, and "scientific and reasonable", and quite wonderful.) ）

As Father Fang said, one of the most special things in this world, which has many differences from the earth, may be the soul, although it is slightly different from the philosophical definition of idealism and materialism, but I have to admit that this world is slightly "idealistic".

The power of the will is real, and the fact that the god of fear can draw strength from the fear of the soul is enough to show that the soul is an excellent source of energy.

No one can say why, but existence is fact, and sometimes, why, doesn't matter.

Shrouded in the power of the god of fear, completely plunged into the dark and dead silence of the royal city, the golden threads that were so subtle that it was difficult to detect spread out from the small statue of the muscular god of light in the small church, constantly splitting and marching towards all parts of the royal city.

A "spider web" of subtle and imperceptible golden filaments unconsciously weaves up in the royal city covered by the power of the god of fear.

The power of the God of Light in these golden threads was not strong, or rather very weak, so weak that it had no sense of existence in front of the unimaginably large power of the God of Fear at the moment, so that it was ignored by almost all beings.

These golden filaments connected to those who had fallen to the ground, dragged into the dead sea of the god of fear, burrowing into their bodies and touching their souls, but not to the extent that they could attract the attention of the god of fear.

Among them, there is a silk thread that is a little special, it is just as slender, but the light divine power inside is especially condensed, growing towards the headquarters of the Night Blade on the ground of the royal city, looking for its target.

After a slight pause, the filament formed by the divine power of light found its target, and a half-crouched figure with a long sword pestle on the ground and a hand grasping the shield behind it with the other.

His soul was also dragged into the sea of dead silence, but he still struggled for a moment before being dragged in, so he seemed very special compared to the existence next to him who fell directly to the ground.

"Well, it didn't disappoint me."

Father Fang, who was located outside the royal capital of Seventan, nodded slightly, and the scene he saw through the power of light made him very satisfied, the "son of the Grand Duke" in front of him, like his two fathers, had tenacious willpower, and was a person who could carry that power.

The tentacles formed by the power of light entered Edward's head and touched his soul.

This time, the tentacles of divine power did not stop at the mere touch to avoid attracting the attention of the god of fear, but in a gentle way, reached deep into Edward's soul that had been dragged into the sea of death.

Above the sky, silently flapping his pitch-black wings, he continued to expand his power, staring at the god of fear of a certain hapless ghost surrounded by a large number of black figures with hollow eyes, and turned his head abruptly to look in a certain direction.

The panic lingered, and the embodied fear covered the body, and the divine power of fear forged a pair of armor that the gods could use, and its wings flapped, and it rushed to the place in a near-teleportation manner.

……

"Whew... Whew..."

A heavy wheezing sound was the only sound in the depths of the ocean, and Edward swung his arms as he swam toward the never-reachable light above his head.

Whether he was moving or not, he didn't know, this dead ocean had no end, and the distance from above, taking a number between infinity and 0 seemed meaningless.

But there is one thing, Edward, who has experienced the memory cage of the god of fear, knows very well that it must be the power of the god of fear that has made all this, so what he has to do is very clear, whether it is anger or calmness, keep his will, and not let fear rule him.

I don't know how long it has been, ten minutes in the outside world, the time counted in days may have passed here, Edward didn't deliberately remember the time, he just stood firm in that belief, he was more willing to roar and swing his fist than crying and screaming in a desperate situation.

He didn't know how long he would last, but he would swim upwards so "pointlessly" until the moment of collapse came.

"I can't just die, my responsibility is not yet complete, and what I voluntarily carried should be moved to the end line..."

Silently meditating on this, gasping for breath, gulping down the illusory seawater, feeling a false sense of suffocation, Edward ignored the growing loneliness and powerlessness, and continued to move forward without knowing if it would be useful or not.

Suddenly, at some point, Edward felt something different, something more in this dead and silent ocean, a little more familiar, and, moreover, right in front of him.

A silk thread with a faint golden light stretched down from the sea level and appeared in front of Edward, who was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously grasped the only new thing that appeared in this empty ocean with his hands.

The thread retracted, dragging Edward upwards until it broke through the illusory sea, leading him to another dimension, a simple chapel.

"Huh?!"

As if awakened from a dream, Edward jerked up from the chair beneath him, making a sound and looking at the person sitting across from him.

"Edward, it's me."

Father Fang, who was sitting across from Edward, smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Edward to listen to him.

"Father Fang, are you back in the royal city?"

Edward looked at Father Fang who was sitting opposite, and asked with some surprise, if it was Father Fang, he should be able to deal with the God of Fear, after all, the God of Light, among all gods, is also one of the most powerful existences.

"It's a pity that I didn't have time to rush back to the royal city, I just borrowed the power of light to talk to you, and the prayer communication network of the Night Lady is the same thing, except that your soul has been cut off from the body, but you can have a more intuitive conversation with me."

Father Fang waved his hand, which made Edward a little disappointed, he thought that he had found a way to save the royal city, but in front of the god of fear, they were too small, and it was difficult to find a way to break the game.

"But even if I come back, it's actually hard to say what I can do, if you want to send down a miracle, or directly descend like the god of fear, there is a price, unlike the Void Evil God, the advent of the righteous god is not something that can be done by breaking a hole."

"The advent of the god of fear originated from the ritual of the Sevintan people, at the cost of the souls of the entire inhabitants of the royal capital, let the god of fear come, and I return to the royal city, and I cannot directly let the god of light come in person."

Father Fang put away his smile and said to Edward very seriously.

Father Fang's words made Edward's heart feel cold, he would not fall into panic because of the power of the god of fear, Fang's naked use of facts to erase the possibility of victory was even more unacceptable.

"But if it really didn't work, I wouldn't find you, wouldn't I, the God of Light is a very special god, he rarely shows his will, and because of this, he is more likely to get strength from his faith and soul."

"At the same time, it is easier to receive strength from Him, and what I want you to do is to make you temporary, the substitute of the God of Light on earth, and by His power, to cast out the God of Fear."

Father Fang looked at Edward and said what he wanted Edward to do.

"Me?"

Edward was stunned for a moment, Father Fang's words were a little beyond his expectations, the spokesman of the God of Light on earth, he? That's a lot of time.

"That's right, it's you, just as the god of fear draws power from the souls covered by his kingdom, so the god of light can draw power from the souls of these people."

"It's just that He hasn't come down yet, so he needs a substitute, and among the people I know, you are the most suitable person, can you do it?"

Father Fang said, looking earnestly into Edward's eyes.

"Why...,......, OK! I can do it. ”

Edward subconsciously wanted to ask why it was him, but a figure that suddenly appeared in his memory reminded him of what he was carrying.

That's right, why can't it be him, it should have been him, his expression was firm, Edward nodded, and agreed.

"Very well, I know that you are the most suitable, just like your inner potential, you are the one who can carry things for others, the earthly agent of the god of light."

A smile reappeared on Father Fang's serious face, and he handed the holy book in his hand to Edward.

"What do I need to do?"

Edward asked, taking the tome from the tome.

"I will temporarily pass on all the divine power of the God of Light that I can use to you, what you have to do is to launch your inner submersion under the blessing of this power, for the people who have been connected by the power of the God of Light, temporarily replace them with the power of the God of Fear."

"Then say whatever you want, just say it, just lift people's hearts, the courage to be reborn after fear is much more powerful than pure fear can bring to the gods, and these powers will be your help, and then, cut, it's as simple as that."

Father Fang clapped his hands and said what Edward was going to do next, it was not that complicated, to put it bluntly, it was a little too simple in Edward's opinion.

"That's it?"

Edward didn't doubt that he could resist the power of the God of Dread for so many people, because the essence of his inner latent was actually this, not as simple as the protection shown in front of Wang Yu and Charles.

His latent role is to take on behalf of others, so that his own body can become a barrier to protect others, which is probably also influenced by the past events.

"It's as simple as that, in a way, these powers are the same as the demons who torture souls to gain power, and the soul furnace of ancient goblins directly burns souls, we don't know enough about souls, just like we know about gods."

"It's just that it's really difficult to find a suitable agent for the God of Light on the ground, your inner potential makes me feel that you are more suitable than me, of course, Wang Yu's mental resistance makes him a good choice, but the God of Light can't find him, so this candidate is none other than you."

Father Fang continued, and also stood up from his chair and placed his hand on Edward's shoulder.

"So, then, I'm ready."

Edward nodded, confirming that he was ready.

Father Fang's understanding of the gods and souls made Edward feel that Father Fang was not like a priest who preached faith and devotion all day long.

On the contrary, it is a bit similar to Zig and the scholars in the academy who study the nature of magic and fighting spirit, and his attitude towards the gods is really strange, but who called this the Cult of Light, that strange point is also easy to understand.

"Now that this is your mental space, time has almost stood still, and the god of fear in the outside world has probably noticed the light divine power in your soul, next, move quickly."

Father Fang gathered all the light divine power he could use in his hands and slapped it on the light sacred book that Edward held in his hands.

Then the space created by the power of light in Edward's soul collapsed, and Edward opened his eyes, and his consciousness returned to his body, looking at the figure of the god of fear that was approaching in the sky.

The god of fear floated in the air, dressed in armor, with jet-black wings flapping, staring at Edward below, and without hesitation, he waved the pitch-black blade condensed by the divine power in his hand, slashing through the space and flying towards Edward.

The golden wall of light appeared, blocking a blow from the God of Fear for Edward, which was the light divine power that Father Fang had transmitted to Edward through the chapel.

The God of Dread is not very destructive, and his corrosive power is probably useless to Edward now.

Fighting spirit, inwardly activated, this knight's unique power, which has a higher priority than witchcraft and spells, spreads along the web of light and divine power, connecting the souls of all those controlled by the god of fear throughout the royal city.

The power of light was transformed, helping Edward block the constant attacks of the god of fear, while replenishing Edward's frantically consumed fighting energy and amplifying his latent power.

This made the divine power given by Father Fang consume sharply, after all, Edward was facing a god descended from a god, and he was just a formal knight who had received some blessings of light divine power.

After a dozen seconds, Edward's inner dive was activated, spreading completely to all corners of the web of souls formed by the light divine power.

Taking a deep breath, Edward put the power of the inner latent into action, the inner submarine.

An invisible barrier was erected across the web, emitting a faint golden glow illusoryly.

At that moment, all the souls connected by the power of light and the erosion of the god of fear were temporarily borne by Edward's inner subterfuge, and weighed on Edward's soul.

The unimaginable pressure fell on Edward's consciousness, even though the light divine power reduced the terrifying power, but the corrosive power of the god of fear still penetrated the divine power barrier, venting a large amount of fear in Edward's soul.

"Get out—" Edward let out a low growl with difficulty, resisting the terrifying pressure of his own will.

The power of light was frantically consumed, repairing Edward's broken soul and weakening the power of the god of fear that he had borne on behalf of everyone.

The storm was stormy, Edward's soul was in danger of that heavy pressure, and the power of light was gradually depleted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Edward Walling, the Grand Duke of the Northern Realm of the future kingdom, Father Fang could not rush back to the royal city, he gave me the power of light to use, and let me act as the agent of the god of light on earth."

"Fear is the source of the power of the God of Fear, I don't need you to pray to the God of Light, I just need you to pick up whatever you have at hand, face your enemies, and fight!"

"For the sake of yourself, for the sake of survival, the only way to eliminate fear is to face it and beat it to the ground."

The inhabitants of the royal city, who had awakened to the power of the god of fear being borne by Edward, resounded in their minds the words that Edward had sent to them through the web woven by the power of the god of light.

The first to react were the Night's Blade and the City Guards and the Royal Forbidden Army, who knew better than anyone else the nature of the God of Fear and Light, as well as the weight of the name Grand Duke of the North.

They had been fighting for a moment before their souls were trapped in the Dead Sea, and they picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed in the direction of the Night Blade headquarters, where the figure of the God of Dread was venting its power below.

Huge fireballs fell from the sky, and the dazzling pillars of pure magic followed, breaking through the air, hitting the armored figure of the god of fear earlier than the fireballs containing the fiery and furious fire element, exploding a shocking magical shock.

The magic circle of Stevenson's School of Magic was activated again, and the group of mages was a beat slower than the Night Blade, but the attack arrived faster.

Then there are the commoners of the royal city and the unorganized adventurers and guild professionals.

They didn't know much more about Edward's words, but hearing the words "God of Light" and "Grand Duke of the North" was enough to rekindle a spark of hope in their hearts.

"It seems to be saved!"

"Whew... Call... I don't want to go back to that damn place again, absolutely not, I'm going to hack the guy who sent me to that sea. ”

"God of Light, show your strength and redeem your devout believers!"

…

The reactions of all kinds of people are generally different, ranging from those who are excited to be rescued, those who turn into anger after breaking away from the sea of extreme panic in the sea of death, and those who begin to pray "devotely" to the God of Light.

But one thing is the same, fear more or less fades from the hearts of these people, and courage is born after fear subsides.

And the power generated in this soul is also absorbed by the filaments of light divine power that connect to their souls, and transmits it to the agent of the light god on the earth at this moment.

"I'll go, what's that?"

With his eyes wide, Wang Yu was really surprised at this time, looking at the things that appeared in the direction of the Night Blade Headquarters in the distance, and took back the blood that had consumed a large part of the blood.

Just now, the pile of black shadow figures surrounded him, trying to catch him, although each black shadow figure was not strong, but that number almost consumed Wang Yu, who had lost the ability to observe the surrounding environment, in the middle.

Just when Wang Yu was about to use the Helmet Shattering Elixir as a hole card, the group of black shadow figures suddenly dispersed, and then he saw the thing that appeared in the distance.

"Light? No, where did this kind of thing come from, the god of light? Father Fang is back? ”

Retracting his thoughts from the unbelievable direction, Wang Yu adjusted his speculation about what happened to the most likely track.

The filaments formed by those light divine powers were much thicker and more dazzling at the moment, and after absorbing the power generated in a large number of souls, these filaments of divine power became visible to the naked eye.

Starting from all directions of the royal city, they converge in the direction of the headquarters of the Night Blade.

Just as the god of fear draws power from fear, the god of light gathers the power that is born from the souls that have been detached from the influence of the god of fear, and then gives this power to His Substitute who is now on earth, in the royal city.

A large amount of light divine power gathered on Edward's body, and the surging power built a more powerful soul barrier, so that the erosion of the god of fear that he had borne for the people of the city with his inner potential could no longer hurt him in the slightest.

More and more light divine power attached to Edward's body, until it overflowed, and this part of the power did not dissipate, but began to build a body, a body composed of light divine power.

So under the gaze of the inhabitants of the royal city, a figure with a golden light stood up and stood in front of the god of fear floating in the air, looking at him with a faceless face.

"What's that, the god of light has descended?"

"Really, shocking, this is a miracle, no, that's the God of Light himself!"

"Don't be stunned, continue to attack the God of Dread with the means of attack at your disposal, and you can't give him a chance."

"Continue to strike, increase the output of mana, don't think about loss, directly overload, and assist the incarnation of the god of light!"

All the inhabitants of the royal city saw the huge glowing figure, and they were even more convinced that the God of Light had descended, and they began to do everything they could.

The magic array of Stevenson School of Magic was directly overloaded by the overcharged magic after it was activated again, and the two main magic circles were directly scrapped, but an extremely powerful magic shot was also blasted out.

Seventh-Order Grand Spell - Sky Splitting Blade.

The space where the god of fear is located is torn apart by an excess of magic power at this moment, just like an invisible blade directly splitting the space, without warning, the layer of armor made of divine power on the god of fear's body has broken a hole under this large-scale spell attack that is purely destructive.

Seizing this opportunity, the figure that was still absorbing the light divine power gathered from all over the royal city, becoming more condensed and dazzling, launched an attack on the god of fear in the air.

The gigantic figure was inconceivably fast, grabbing the legs of the Dreadgod who had been distracted by the effective attack of the Sky Split, dragging him straight out of the air and slamming him into it with a single punch.

The god of fear who reacted also launched a counterattack, but he was directly caught, but he couldn't use any other means of attack.

The glowing figure violently and directly punched the fist containing a large amount of light divine power into the god of fear, without firing the light blade, without exploding, it was the simplest, using the divine power as the most effective weapon to hit the god of fear.

The two "gods" fought in the royal city, and the divine power of fear and light constantly collided, and it seemed to be the same way of fighting as a street fight, but on the contrary, it was the most powerful divine power that could compare the strength.

Gradually, the golden humanoid form that Edward drove at this moment took over completely.

The power of light that had been converging from all over the royal city had strengthened the power that Edward possessed.

On the other hand, the god of fear, his power is constantly colliding, and it is overflowing from the body of the god's body, this thing is ownerless, and the god of fear can use the residual power in it, but it will also be forcibly squeezed out by the collision.

And one thing that has been overlooked is showing its impact at this moment.

The God of Dread is inherently incomplete, and several "incomplete gods" converge to form the God of Dread, one of which is missing, and that is the Night Lady.

Originally, the light divine power that Edward had accumulated at this moment was probably not enough to destroy the complete God of Fear, but it was this incompleteness that became the biggest flaw in the God of Fear.

Among the several forces that make up the god of fear, the missing night is illuminated by the divine power of the god of light, and the light of the stars flashes the night sky.

"Boom!"

The glowing giant humanoid smashed its fist into the body of the god of fear attached to it, directly smashing the twisted form of the god of fear out of this body.

The form of the God of Dread began to blur when it appeared, and he wanted to move away from the huge human form constructed by the power of light.

However, the filaments of light that had gathered on Edward's body changed their targets and wound around the body of the god of fear.

The god of fear, who tried to escape with a complex use of divine power, away from Edward, who could only shape his fists and smash people with his divine power, was bound in the air, and the glowing filaments wound the god of fear into a light cocoon in the air, unable to move.

"With my body, I carry its might."

"With the sword in my hand, I will do his will."

"I am the walker of the God of Light, who walks on the earth."

Edward's eyes shone with a glow representing the power of light, and he read a passage from the sacred code of light in his mouth, and strengthened his will in his heart, clenched the long sword in his hand that was gradually entwined by the power of light, and walked towards the god of fear who was bound.

As he walked, the glowing humanoid gradually shrank, and the light divine power that built this body gradually converged on the long sword held in Edward's hand, and the power fluctuations on it became more and more terrifying.

When Edward walked under the light cocoon, the huge glowing human form had already dissipated, leaving only the long sword in his hand that had completely turned into light, which contained all the light divine power that the royal city had collected from the beginning to the present.

"Chop."

A word came out of his mouth, and Edward swung the light-forged sword he held in both hands from the bottom up.

It was not as dazzling and dazzling as expected, and the faint golden light crossed the sky of the royal city...
