Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 787 - 788: Serious

Just as the statue of the goddess emitted a dense, dark golden light from its eyes, the statues of the Asumos Church in various parts of the Anvika continent also began to emit a golden light at the same time.

At this moment, countless devout believers of the church had already gathered in front of the statues or nearby plazas in response to the church’s call, kneeling and offering their most sincere prayers to the goddess.

Under the guidance of the golden holy light, the power of their faith, along with the majority of the holy energy within their bodies, began to rapidly gather towards the various statues.

Although their bodies became weaker every second passing, and their vision even began to blur, these believers continued to kneel on the ground with unwavering devotion. There was not a single trace of anxiety on their faces, only deep faith and indescribable excitement.

After all, in the eyes of these believers, the goddess was currently using their power!

These devout believers, for the sake of the goddess, offered up their own strength and holy energy without hesitation. What was there to hesitate about?!

...

At this moment, at the headquarters of Asumos Church, as the golden light in the eyes of the statue of the goddess burst forth, the power of the believers from various places began to gather towards Anvika through the statue as a medium. In an instant, the heavens and earth changed, and the oppressive dark clouds covering the sky were instantly dispersed!! Countless dazzling holy lights gathered from afar, gradually condensing above the city.

A vast power, like a galaxy, began to spread out from the gathering point.

?!

What, what is that?!

"The Aggregate Star? that bastard has he finally succeeded in opening it?"

After swinging his giant shield, and smashing several seventh-level Abyssal Demons that were attacking him, Emperor Enzo looked towards the sky in delight, gazing at the golden light that was gathering.

That was the hope of victory.

Unknowingly, Emperor Enzo’s heavy, oppressive emotions were swept away under the baptism of the golden light, and his strong fighting spirit once again surged forth.

It wasn’t just Emperor Enzo; the other members of the allied forces were also the same.

After seeing the dazzling golden light, they suddenly regained their confidence and launched a counterattack against the Abyssal Demon horde with a majestic aura.

On the contrary, after sensing the holy aura coming from the sky, the Abyssal Demon horde felt a strong sense of suppression and pain, involuntarily letting out waves of mournful cries. Under the subtle influence of the gathering golden light, the power of the Abyssal Demon horde within Anvika was even directly suppressed. As a result, the remaining forces of the human allied army were actually able to fight back and forth with the Abyssal Demon horde.

In the next moment, the gathered golden light suddenly condensed into a pillar of light and descended directly!

***Boom!!***

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the top of Asumos Church headquarters was directly pierced by the holy light. The golden holy light descended upon the cathedral, enveloping Kael in a baptism-like manner as if it was a gift from the goddess.

Seeing this scene, the desperate church higher-ups and holy knights around them couldn’t help but reveal expressions of ecstasy. The more devout individuals even knelt down, attempting to offer up their own power at the risk of their lives.

"This, this is a divine miracle!! The goddess has appeared!!"

Even Yumo showed an incredulous expression upon witnessing this miraculous scene.

"Is this the church’s trump card?"

...

On the other hand, under the baptism of the golden light, the power of faith from millions of believers across the entire Anvika continent gathered upon Kael. Golden patterns gradually appeared on the body of this highest leader of the church, and his light red eyes also flickered with a pair of dazzling golden stars.

What was even more shocking was that Kael’s aura was rising at this moment.

Effortlessly surpassing any peak level 8, whether it was Emperor Enzo of the Red Leaf Empire or Higanbana, who had previously caused a commotion at the church headquarters, none of them could compare to Kael’s current strength. Even Yumo’s vast and boundless shadow power was being dispersed by the holy light surrounding him...

For a moment, the radiance of holy energy was actually able to contend against the shadow force!

There was no doubt that after gathering the faith of millions of believers, Kael’s strength had transcended the eighth level and was approaching the legendary ninth level.

It could be said that Kael, at this moment, was the most powerful existence that Yumo had seen in a hundred years...

As his power gradually stabilized, Kael, who was floating in front of the goddess statue, slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the black-haired girl’s face with a lofty expression.

"Those who offend the goddess will be punished by heavenly retribution and be reduced to ashes. Prepare yourself, Bloody Butterfly."

"You sure are bold..."

Yumo snorted coldly.

However, even she had to admit that Kael, who had gathered the power of faith, truly possessed unimaginable strength, making her instinctively feel a slight chill and unease.

She had originally planned to take advantage of the moment when he was gathering power to directly strike and kill Kael...

But she was stumped by the boss principles in her mind and stood there blankly, watching him power up...

’Damn, what am I doing?’

Yumo couldn’t help but curse in her heart with some regret.

However, during this moment of regret, a doubt in Yumo’s heart was also answered.

Gazing at the middle-aged, golden-haired man in the air, Yumo narrowed her crimson eyes slightly:

"I previously thought that with the strength of your church, it wouldn’t be enough to defeat Higanbana. Now, I seem to understand why Higanbana was beaten into seed form. It seems to be because of this statue, right?"

"Yes, anyone who offends the goddess will suffer heavenly punishment."

Kael spoke righteously, with a hint of disdain and contempt in his words.

"Higanbana tried to destroy the statue of the goddess and was punished like that, it was her own doing."

"Her own doing? Haha..."

"But perhaps you should thank the goddess."

"Thank whom?"

Yumo unconsciously furrowed her brow and asked strangely, "That ’goddess’ turned my child into that state, and I should thank her? Why?"

"It’s simple. Unlike you demons who are cruel and merciless, we don’t have the habit of torturing and killing defeated enemies. After the goddess disabled Higanbana’s combat power, I personally beheaded her and took out her heart. She didn’t suffer much pain."

As these words entered her ears, Yumo’s gaze darkened, and the bloody butterflies around her became increasingly frenzied and anxious.

"Haha, then I should really thank you..."

"Yes, you should thank our goddess’s mercy. Not only Higanbana, but even you who has done so much evil, we will grant you a quick death."

As he finished speaking, Kael suddenly pressed his hands together.

In an instant, the intensity of the holy energy in the air increased, and six imposing, holy, and majestic golden circles of light suddenly appeared behind Kael! Symbolizing destruction, purification, and rebirth, the golden divine power under Kael’s control rapidly condensed into a ball in front of him.

Although it was only the size of a baseball, the power contained within it was immeasurable.

Obviously, Kael had no intention of holding back. He was going all out from the beginning!

Seeing this, the church higher-ups who were barely conscious couldn’t help but fall into a state of extreme excitement. As members of the church, they clearly knew just how terrifying the ability Kael was about to use was. They believed that under the goddess’s divine power and with the assistance of all the believers, even the Demon Temple would be destroyed in this one strike!

Thinking of this, many people turned their gaze to the black-haired girl’s location, as if they wanted to see this pillar of the demons in a flustered and anxious state? As if they wanted to see her tremble uncontrollably in the face of human power!

However, when they looked at the black-haired girl, everyone couldn’t help but reveal a confused expression.

Because they saw a very strange and incomprehensible scene.

They saw that, facing Kael’s imminent strongest attack, Bloody Butterfly didn’t run away or take a defensive stance... but... took out a fluffy thing from somewhere?

’??!!!’

’Huh?’

’What... what is that?’

’A feather duster?!’

’WTF?!’
