When Huey's reinforcements arrived, the Church of the Holy Spirit, led by Alexandria, realized that it had made a fatal mistake.
Although they were well aware of the value of Huey, they overlooked the strategic significance of the teleportation circle, which connected any point in the world into two closest points.
This makes warfare very different on all levels.
Through the teleportation array, the armies of Nanda 6 and the Reims Empire can come to Sarahan in a steady stream and control the entire holy land at the first time.
It can be seen that the Lance and Franco must have reached some kind of agreement with the Church of the Scourge and the Celestial Empire, and this agreement will benefit each party, but it is the interests of the Holy Spirit Church that need to be sacrificed.
Huey, on the other hand, assures that once the battle begins, the victorious side will be on their side.
The Church of the Holy Spirit rejected Huey's advance, which blocked the way to unity, and Huey immediately resorted to the second method - absolute force.
This is not unusual at all.
Even for most people, this is the best option.
The whole of Salahan is destined to recognize the history of mankind, and with the demise of the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Land will cease to exist. Although the Church of the Holy Spirit still has a lot of power of its own in the Great 6 Places, it is impossible for them to get here. The power of the Bi Three Kingdoms and One Sect concentrated all their strength to attack the point of Salahan, and even an idiot could win.
As long as the headquarters is destroyed, the rest of the remaining members of the Holy Spirit Church will be powerless to resist.
A series of thoughts entered Alexander's mind at this moment, and he was a little desperate.
However, his devotion to the gods made him decide to fight to the death.
A fierce battle broke out over the entire Salahan.
As many as eight Sacred Domains burst out with amazing combat power at the same time, and the eight realms instantly enveloped the entire area. The effect of the eightfold law at this moment makes people completely collapsed and lost.
Before the power of the realm disappears, no one, including the peak samurai, can think of it.
Only Xiu Yi didn't even look at the battle in front of him.
He strode through the door of the Holy Spirit's headquarters.
**βStepping into the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church, Xiu Yi and Asahi were stunned at the same time, and quickly glanced at each other.
It is a very spacious hall surrounded by beautiful frescoes. The entire hall is a circular building, supported by dozens of crystal pillars.
However, it is such a ring crystal pillar hall that gives Xiu Yi and Xu such a sense of familiarity.
They seemed to have seen something like this somewhere.
"Father!" Axu cried out, "Why is this temple so similar to a temple?"
Yes, the headquarters of the Church of the Holy Spirit is almost identical in architectural layout to the lost temple on Western University 6. Except for the frescoes on the walls, which depict the history of the Holy Spirit Church itself, everything else is almost identical.
Is this a coincidence? Or is there some other reason?
Huey's face sank. "Forty-two crystal pillars, and the number is exactly the same. β
Asahi continued: "And the carved pattern is similar. β
Xiui gasped, "Go and have a look at the back." β
Turning around the cathedral, Xiui and Asahi saw a huge square.
At the end of the square, there is a trapezoidal platform.
There is also a huge altar on the high platform.
Seeing that altar, Xiui and Asahi shook their bodies again.
Asahi shouted: "How can this be? This is obviously the altar of Xida 6!"
That's right, the form of the altar and the shape of the creation are clearly exactly the same as the altar of Xida 6, and even the carved patterns are exactly the same.
If the previous main hall was just a crude imitation of the 6th Temple of the West University, then the realism of this altar was completely no different from the altar of the temple.
What the hell is going on?
Xiu Yi and Asahi didn't think at all that the Holy Spirit Church had anything to do with Western University 6.
"How is this possible?Father?Aren't the only people who have anything to do with Xida 6 just the two of us and Electra?No one should have seen the temple of Xida 6 again!" Asahi asked Xiu Yi in surprise.
Xiu Yi's face was cold: "You're right, it's true that no one should have seen it there." Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
Huey didn't answer.
His eyes were fixed on the tall idol not far from the altar, the Hidden God, the only spirit god worshipped within the Church of the Holy Spirit.
"Unless that guy is not human. A cold sentence popped out of Xiuyi's mouth, and Asahi trembled all over when he heard it.
"You mean ......," he finally understood.
"He's saying that this place wasn't built by humans, but by the abyss demons who once destroyed the Great 6 of the human world. β
A sudden answer completely shook Asahi's heart.
Xu Yang looked and saw an old man wearing a papal crown and a holy robe appear in front of the altar at some point.
He appeared so mysteriously that it was as if he had been standing there.
Looking at Xu, the old man let out a deep sigh.
This sigh had a strange magic, and it sounded directly in Xu's heart.
Xu's heart throbbed, and he didn't understand why the old man looked at him like this.
"His Majesty Congreve II?" Huey looked at the old man coldly.
A wry smile twisted out of the old man's face: "It's almost not, Xiu Yiglaire, I admire your methods, you can do it if you say it, it's ruthless and poisonous enough, the Holy Spirit Church is about to die." β
Xiu Yi shook his head slightly: "For the enemy, we have always spared no effort to strike. To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself, this is my motto. But I didn't expect that the Church of the Holy Spirit would collude with the Abyss Demon. Thankfully, it's not too late. Otherwise, when the war starts, the Church of the Holy Spirit will stab us in the back, and mankind will only be afraid of defeat. β
A low, strange laugh rang out from Congreve's throat, and he laughed eerily, as if Huey was telling the worst joke in the world.
"You have found a good reason for your attack on the Church of the Holy Spirit, albeit after the fact. But Huey Gler, I'm afraid the truth is going to disappoint you. We're not the helpers of the Abyss Demons...... Because, we are the demons of the abyss!"
Pope Congreve suddenly roared loudly: "Wake up, the strength and will that sleep in my body! I am Beardworth."
A loud roar rushed out of Pope Congreve's body, like the roar of a dragon.
Congreve's body suddenly swelled up like a balloon and became incomparably huge.
His entire body suddenly underwent a drastic change at this moment, and the original human skin was torn apart inch by inch, revealing a body of bright red flesh and blood, and it was still expanding and growing. The original old face also appeared strangely distorted, becoming strange and ugly.
In the blink of an eye, the Pope Congreve had disappeared, and standing in front of Xiu Yi and them was a flesh demon about five meters tall and skinless, and its entire face was like a large mass of scarlet flesh, looking hideous and disgusting.
"Billsworth, Billsworth, Egmont's First General!" exclaimed.
Billsworth, Egmont's most mysterious, powerful, and terrifying first general?
It is said that its own strength is even close to that of Egmont, which makes all the demon generals frightened?
It is said that no one has ever seen it.
Because in countless abyss wars, it has never been there.
The demons only know it as the Phantom, and it is the first general under the command of Egmont, the king of the abyss. For many years, no demon has ever taken the place of this general, so much so that the demons of the abyss even wondered for a moment whether this first general was false, did not exist at all, and was woven by Egmont.
Today, however, it has appeared out of nowhere.
As soon as the phantom Beardsworth appeared, the hideous and vicious atmosphere had already enveloped the entire square.
After a long slumber.
"I'm awake and answer your call!"
With this heavy cry, the Phantom Beardsworth bowed down to the Sky Altar.
Xiui and Asahi were dumbfounded by the change at this moment.
How so?
For many years, Egmont's first general did not stay in the abyss, but hid in the body of the Holy Spirit Pope, and secretly influenced the Pope to establish the Holy Spirit Church?
Has it been like this for many years?
What the hell is going on?
No one can give them an answer.
However, with the bow of the phantom Beardworth, eerie strange laughter rang out from all directions, like the cry of the undead in the Nine Hells.
A flame suddenly burst into flames above the altar, transforming into a monstrous giant.
The entire large square suddenly lost its light with the appearance of this giant, and fell into a black fog.
"Welcome back, my child!" the giant said softly.
"Oh my God!" Asahi exclaimed in horror as he looked at the flame head in the altar, "It's Egmont!
With Asahi shouting, the phantom Beardsworth suddenly grabbed the flames from the altar and threw them at Xiui.
Fire of Disillusionment!
The fire of disillusionment mixed with the power of Egmont's projection was enough to incinerate all that existed.
Xiu Yi snorted in a low voice, and pointed at the fire of disillusionment with one hand: "Devour!"
A small black dot on his fingertip suddenly emitted a star-like light, forming a swirling black hole that engulfed the world-destroying fire in an instant.
Then, while devouring the fire of disillusionment, Xiu Yizhi felt as if a flame was burning in his body, and the raging power was running through his body, almost turning him into ashes.
He took a long breath and urged the magic furnace with all his might, resisting the terrifying power of the fire of disillusionment.
The power of the most pinnacle existence in the abyss is really not so easy to digest.
Seeing the fire of disillusionment being devoured by Xiuy, the phantom Beardsworth had an expression of surprise and joy in his eyes.
"Sure enough, it's the power of the Divine Domain! We've finally waited for this day!"
As he spoke, he actually looked up and laughed.
His sudden attack was not an attack, but a temptation!
By this time, Huey had appeared, and although he was still in the square of the Church of the Holy Spirit, he could no longer feel any outside fighting.
The entire square was like a separate space, and no one could enter or leave except for the people and demons present.
Huey had heard Rita say that Egmont possessed a natural power called spatial isolation.
It can isolate a designated space, like adding a wall to a house to create a separate room.
This kind of natural power sounds simple, but it is actually extremely terrifying, because in this independent space, Egmont is the master of the space, and all his power will be absolutely wielded when fighting here, while his opponent will be greatly weakened. Although this kind of innate power is not a domain and does not have the absolute authority of a domain, it can also achieve the effect of a domain. Coupled with the strength of Egmont himself, in his torn space, it is possible to form an absolute suppression of the enemy.
Even the Sanctuary couldn't compete with him.
It is clear that from the moment Huey entered this square, he was in a state of spatial isolation, and no one could enter freely without Egmont's permission. No wonder the Phantom Beardsworth dared to show up openly.
But he was completely puzzled by the ecstasy in the phantom's eyes at the moment.
It doesn't look like they're trying to kill themselves, they're looking forward to their coming.
Even Billsworth's awakening was because of his own arrival.
But why is that?
..............................
A solemn look flashed in Xiuy's eyes.
Early on, Xiu Yi wondered why, after that defeat, the Abyss had had enough time to recover, but had not attacked here for a long time.
But now it seems that this is clearly not the case.
The Abyss has never given up on the human world from the beginning, but they no longer use the method of forcible attack, but the method of infiltration.
It's just that their penetration is completely different from the penetration as Huey understands it.
That's an act that Huey can't understand.
As if seeing through the confusion in Xiuyi's eyes, the phantom smiled and said, "Xiu Yiglare, you're weird, aren't you? yes, it's really worth wondering. What are we doing? Why are we doing this? We could have officially attacked the Big 6 early tomorrow, and even occupied the Peking University 6, but why did we not move the all-out attack...... So, do you want to know the answer?"
"As long as I catch you, I'll know everything I need to know. Huey replied coldly.
He's ready to make a move.
"Oh, don't worry, my friend!" Beardsworth shook his blood-red finger, "You know, we've been waiting for your presence for too long, why don't we talk for a while?" Lord Egmont has enough strength to keep this space isolated, and trust me, no one will disturb us. β
"I don't think there's anything to talk about between us. β
That's just your opinion, in fact, the nature of things has completely changed since the appearance of the true God. We used to think of you as an insignificant pawn, a pest that caused us a little trouble, but we didn't expect that the destined ally would be you. It's funny to think about this! A lot of things have already arrived, but we don't know anything about each other. It's as if we came to the human world early in the morning, but the humans don't know it. You've been in our field of vision early in the morning, but we don't know it...... Thankfully, we showed you up in time, and we waited for ......you," said Beardworth, the Phantom Beardworth, stretching out his long blood-red tongue and licking his own tongue, his tone full of admiration and sigh.
"Allies?" Huey spat out the amusing word.
How could he possibly be an ally of the abyss?
"Maybe you can't believe it, but have you forgotten who you are?"
"Who am I?" said Huey.
Beardsworth laughed, "How dare you rebel against God's will!"
God's will? Huey suddenly understood.
The illusion refers to the dream of the end of the world.
How would he know?
Yes, the coming of the true God, such a big thing, with the attention of the Holy Spirit Church to the Church of Natural Disasters, how could it be unknowing. As for the content of the dream, don't forget the former commander of the Abyss, but Basgate, who has suffered the dream of annihilation like himself.
"So what?" Xiu Yi sneered, "Even if it is God's will, I don't necessarily have to obey it." β
"Fool!" the phantom Beardsworth sneered disdainfully: "How can the will of the true god be violated by a person like you? Do you think that you are a god if you have the divine domain? There is only one true god! That is the Holy Spirit! Under the will of the Holy Spirit, all beings must look up to it! If you know each other, you may be able to become an existence second only to the Holy Spirit in the days to come." β
As he spoke, the phantom Beardsworth pointed to the idol of the hidden god beside him: "Do you see that idol? That's for you! You are our secret god! And you don't even know anything about it! Wake up quickly! Hue Igler! You are not here to deal with and destroy our existence, but to help us complete the occupation of hegemony and eliminate the assistant of this human world!"
Xiu Yi only felt a shock in his head, and countless voices echoed in his head.
The dream of the past resounded again, and in the confusion, it seemed that a voice spoke in my ears: "Obey my orders and follow my will." You are our friend, an ally, give up your desire to attack and open your heart...... Let me in!"
The voice was so gentle and so appealing that it was impossible for Huey to extricate himself.
He repeated the voice completely instinctively, and his eyes gradually became dull and rigid.
"Father!" Asahi cried out in horror.
Phantom Beardsworth smirked: "No need to scream, he has been affected by my illusion, and there is no possibility of recovery." Oh, speaking of which, I forgot to tell him that the effect of using soul spells in divine spells is mine. I'm a master of soul spells myself, and manipulating human souls is what I do best. β
"But you seem to have forgotten that I'm also a soul mage. A low sneer interrupted Beardsworth's triumphant voice.
Beardsworth looked at Huey in astonishment, and at some point, he had come out of his confusion.
Drawing the Dark Blade and pointing his sword at Beardworth, Hue said coldly, "Tell me, what the hell do you want to do? Don't test my patience again, or I guarantee you will die an ugly death." β
"Answer" Beardsworth shook his head: "The answer is actually quite simple. The war starts here!"
