This is the first time that the Devouring Realm has appeared in front of the world.
Compared to the time it was in the Temple of the Calamity, this time the knight was much smaller, at least not the domineering momentum that devoured everything, and the terrifying black hole that could even devour life.
But even so, the fear it brings to people is still far from imagination.
All the divine energy was swallowed up by the devouring force field at the same time, and the entire Holy Spirit originally took the divine and light as the main breath, but now these good things are all gone, and they are replaced by a huge darkness and empty nothingness.
It was as if dark clouds had obscured the sky, and the night had swallowed up the day.
The most terrifying thing is that although the devouring force field is no longer majestic, it is more nuanced - even those divine energies in the bodies of the believers are absorbed by this huge devouring position, just like a huge water suction machine, after draining the water from the upstream water source of the rice field, by the way, the water flowing into the rice field is also pumped out......
Therefore, the consequences of the introduction are huge and terrible.
Suddenly, the church of the Holy Spirit that they had always admired and admired was no longer as holy and lofty as before, and the pastors of light, who stood in front of the stage one by one and pretended to be holy, were no longer as pleasing to the eye as before, and their steadfastness in their hearts about the gods and their absolute worship of the Holy Spirit became loosened at once, the foundation of faith was withdrawn, and the temple of faith showed signs of collapse.
If this were the case, this temple of faith might have lasted for a little longer, but at this moment, the hazy sky and the aura of terror enveloped the entire San Marino Cathedral, as if the end was coming.
This caused great panic among the people.
"The end has come!" someone shouted.
"God has forsaken us!"
"The world is about to have a catastrophe!"
Roars stacked like a tidal wave.
Look at the priests on the high platform, the holy warriors, they are standing there one by one, obviously without any solution to what is in front of them.
They simply can't control the situation, and they don't even know what's going on.
Or they themselves think that the Holy Spirit they worship is abandoning them and that the real end is coming.
The Church of the Cataclysm has never given up on the religious strategy activities of Peking University 6, and too many believers have heard of the doomsday coming. Under normal circumstances, this doctrine of doom would not have much of an impact on the followers of the Holy Spirit, as the expansion of the two sects was based on magical powers rather than religious teachings. But when one side's magic control disappears, the huge sensory gap can sometimes be multiplied.
When a boyfriend and girlfriend break up, the friend who used to look so cute suddenly becomes a hateful person overnight. The sanctity is eliminated, and people often see each other as inadequate.
At this moment, the Holy Spirit Church's divine control over believers weakened to zero, and the believers' original feelings about the Holy Spirit Church should have been slightly favorable in the influence of the doctrine, but in an instant it became negative. Some believers think about how much they have contributed to the church over the years, how much money they have sacrificed, but in the end they still get nothing, and at this moment, they see the omen of the coming of the end, and their feelings for the church of the Holy Spirit suddenly turn into hatred and anger.
The former believers became chaotic under such circumstances, and the few believers who were relatively peaceful ran towards the outside of the square, while some believers began to pray to the heavens, and in the case of losing faith, they created their own beliefs, which is the basic form of religion. However, most of the believers began to become hysterical, some began to storm the church, shouting why this was happening, and even a few began to try to loot the precious collection in the church.
The chaos arose in an instant, spreading and expanding in a short period of time, forming a tendency to explode, and rapidly expanding to the entire perimeter of the church in a geometric progression.
The entire western part of the city is starting to get out of control with this influence. Thankfully, the scope of the devouring force field is limited, and in the area outside the church, the believers are still under the control of the divine forces and still have faith in the church, but the church itself, as if it had been thrown into a bombshell, is being subjected to the worst test in history by the out-of-control believers......
Xiu Yi looked at all this coldly, without saying a word.
His devouring force field has recently improved again, and he can now control the amount of power, and through the control of power output, the force field can be extended for a long time. If it was an explosive devouring like in the temple, he probably wouldn't last long.
In addition, his own strength continued to improve under the effect of the devouring force field. Whether it is a divine power or an evil force, all powers essentially come from the same source of power. And by mastering the secret of the nature of this power, one can transform all power for one's own use. The function of the devouring force field is absorption, and the essence of the divine domain is transformation, so at this moment, Xiu Yi leisurely enjoyed the great benefits brought to him by absorbing the transformed power.
He felt that the strength available for maintenance in his body had increased significantly.
Seeing that the chaos in the square was spreading, Huey estimated how long he could last, and he took little Bill's hand and said, "Let's go out, there's nothing to see here." ”
Little Bill was staring at everything in front of him in a daze, he was the closest to Xiuyi, and he was also the most affected, all the divine power in his body was sucked clean, and he no longer had the slightest affection for the Holy Spirit Church.
He nodded in agreement completely numbly.
In this way, Huey took the little boy and walked leisurely through the streets of Salahan.
As he walked here, the devouring force field that accompanied him slowly moved with a diameter of 100 meters formed around him.
Thus, one of the most bizarre scenes in the history of Salahan appeared......
————————————
Jessel, an ordinary citizen in the city of Salahan, is a devout believer in the Holy Spirit who gives a quarter of his fortune to the church every year.
Although Jessel's belief in the Holy Spirit is unquestionable, it is not a control of the will of the soul, and it does not allow people to willingly give everything for it, or to make everyone do so.
Therefore, in the face of the greedy priest in front of him, Jessel still made the most sincere plea: "This month's harvest is not good, my lord, can you slow down our due offerings a little?"
The priest's attitude was impatient: "Do you want to bargain with the Holy Spirit? As a citizen of God, it is God who created your life, God who gave you a warm and comfortable environment, and God who gave you food on this land. If you don't think about how to repay the Holy Spirit, but you want to use the methods of a merchant to withhold the offering, this is a shameless act and will be punished. For the disrespectful, we should send him to the judgment house to judge him for his sins. Do you want that?"
"Oh...... No...... But for a family of four, our current food is not enough for everyone to eat for half a month. Priest, can't you do it?"
The priest's eyes widened: "Look, it's enough to eat for half a month, which is not less." Eat less and starve to death, and God will bless you through this difficult time. ”
Jessel bowed his head in despair, but his belief in the gods kept him from offending the priests, and he was trying to defend himself.
Suddenly.
The expressions of both Jessel and the priest changed at the same time.
Jessel, who had been kneeling and pleading, slowly stood up, walked to the door of his house, picked up a wooden stick and pointed at the priest, "Hey, you bastard, get out of my house." What bullshit Holy Spirit takes care of his people in this way of exploiting us? Even biological parents can't do this to their children. This Holy Spirit, who only knows how to exploit harshness, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it. Get out of the way, or I'll give you a taste of the stick." ”
The priest's expression was so frightened that he fled without even having time to utter a threatening word.
Jessel looked at the priest's back, threw the wooden stick in his hand, and muttered, "Strange, why did I suddenly hate this holy spirit so much?"

Israel Nit was a builder who built a large number of buildings in Salahan every year. The Church of the Holy Spirit is one of the big patrons of the NEET, but this patron is very troublesome because they always like to default on their payments.
Today, a pastor from the Church of the Holy Spirit is negotiating with him to build a chapel on a new lot.
According to the rules, the Church of the Holy Spirit will give a small portion of the funds to the other party, and the rest will be paid after the church is completed. Of course, this is usually followed by a long period of recovery.
"As the most devout people of the Holy Spirit, I have always given back to the church at the lowest price and with the best quality, and every year I have taken a large sum of money from my profits to serve the church. But I hope the church will think about my difficulties. I really don't have enough money lately. I wish the church would come up with more money. ”
"The church has also been strapped for funding lately. You should know that ever since that Huigler announced that he was coming to Salahan, the church had begun to prepare for all-out war. It took me a lot of effort to get this chapel approved, and it was completed last year. I really can't get any more money in this case. My child, God is watching you from heaven, and now is the time to test your loyalty to the Gods. ”
"Well, I know so. Nit sighed helplessly.
But the next moment, his face suddenly changed.
He yelled at the priest, "Get out of here, you greedy vampire! I won't agree to you exploiting my money and energy in this way again." I tell you, I will not agree to such an impertinent request again, not only will I not agree, but I also ask you to immediately return to me all the money you owe over the years, and you will have to *** bring interest!"

Dandy Ince was nervously hiding in a cabin.
He regretted that it was because of his recklessness that his identity was revealed.
He is one of the dark priests sent by the Church of the Natural Disaster to Peking University 6 to secretly preach doctrine and absorb believers, and he is also the dark priest who is responsible for the most dangerous work - preaching doctrine in Salahan, the holy land of the Holy Spirit Church, even if it can only win one believer, is a success.
Over the years, he has exhibited more than a dozen believers in the Cataclysmic Church, which is not easy.
But maybe he's been getting carried away lately, after he heard the news that the Church of the Scourge has recently been helped by some powerful force and is going crazy like never before.
He absorbed a follower of the original Holy Spirit who was supposed to continue his investigation for some time.
As a result, he was betrayed.
Now a large number of paladins surrounded his residence.
He and his followers were on the verge of death.
Several paladins were cautiously approaching here, and the paladins didn't dare to be too careless about the dark mage.
"What should we do?" asked Ince, a cultist of the Scourge in horror.
The final decision appeared on Ings's face: "Fight with them." ”
All believers are one head.
Ince began to whisper a dark spell, a fairly powerful spell that, once cast, was capable of killing a large number of lives within range, but the caster itself would also be hit hard.
It will be very difficult to escape.
Just as the spell was about to be released, there was a sudden commotion from the outside world.
Ince flickered slightly, and he heard the footsteps of the paladin hastily retreating.
What's going on? Is it some kind of ruse? But in the current situation, there is really no need to play any more conspiracy on your side?
Courageous, he peeked out the window, and then he saw the crazy sight in the street, and he was dumbfounded.

As a paladin, Ocahir's favorite thing to do is to have a drink at a nearby tavern with his good friend Atholl at the end of his shift.
Don't get me wrong, it's not drinking, it's tea.
Atholl slammed the teacup on the table: "This thing doesn't taste good at all, it's bitter." ”
"But it's very expensive, and I've heard that the aristocracy likes to drink this. It is the hallmark of the upper class. Ocahill replied.
"I don't care about the upper class or the class. I would prefer to drink if I could, drink spirits. Atholl replied.
"That's a sign of depravity. Alcohol can make people lose their minds and make people think that they dare not have. Drinking is a desecration of the gods, a desecration of the duties of the Holy Samurai!" Ocahill replied.
"But wine makes me happy. Atholl looked around and secretly said to Ocahill, "I drank it once, not long ago. ”
"Oh my God, are you crazy? You're going to hell. ”
"Yes, I went to confess afterwards......" Atholl was a little dejected: "I was punished for three consecutive months of duty. ”
Then he looked up at Ocahir, "But I think it's worth it, the wine tastes wonderful." Shouldn't people do what they want to do?"
"If one could choose what they wanted to do, I would be a carpenter by now. Ocahill muttered.
When he was a child, his greatest dream was to be a carpenter, and he hoped to carve wood with a knife, and watch the shapeless pieces of wood being shaped by his own hands, as if giving life.
He once made a wooden horse that could walk on its own, and people were amazed by it.
But after he was sent by his family to the church to become a paladin, everything changed.
In anyone's eyes, the Paladins are noble beings, even if they have never liked the rules and precepts here.
But in the next moment, the eyes of both of them suddenly flashed with a strange light at the same time.
Okahill slowly stood up and said, "I don't want to be a paladin anymore, I want to go home." ”
Asor also said: "Me too. I want to go drinking and walk around the kiln freely. To hell with the gods. ”
The two of them glanced at each other and laughed as they walked down the restaurant side by side.

In Salahan's Count's Palace, Ivo Carbonel was looking down in contemplation.
He seemed to have finally made a decision, looked up and said to the people outside: "Inform me that the Gera Ranch is the hereditary territory of the Carbonel family, and the Carbonel family will not make concessions to the Holy Spirit Church on this matter." If the Holy Spirit Church persecuts again, then the Carbonells will consider using force to defend themselves. ”
———————————
In the mansion of another minister, a confidant official suggested to the prefect in front of him: "Perhaps we should write a suggestion to Your Majesty, that the Church of the Holy Spirit has been too harsh on the kingdom over the years. ”
He wondered if he hadn't come as a lobbyist for the church before he came.
——————————
As Hue went along, Salahan began to undergo great changes, silently, but like a stormy wave.
