Chapter 623 The ignited powder keg
Solan City.
For ordinary residents, the past six months have been a period of darkness, turmoil, and darkness, which makes people panic and uneasy, and they cannot even see the future.
This situation did not come to an end until the emergence of the Desert Sect.
The Desert Cult gave everyone new hope.
But today, a scene appeared that made believers tremble.
The desert church, the symbol of the desert sect and the place where God descended, collapsed! !
And it collapsed without any warning!
For believers, this is tantamount to a collapse of heaven!
This is a symbol of their faith! !
The stability I had gained during this period was shattered in an instant, and I was left feeling at a loss.
Countless believers gathered outside the collapsed church and began to rage, roar, curse, pray, and atone. The noisy sounds almost plunged the entire city of Solan into a commotion.
But as the high emotions gradually eased, the blood in the chest gradually subsided, and the air suddenly became quiet.
All the believers stared blankly at the church that had been shattered into yellow sand again. In their ears there was only the breathing of the companions around them, and nothing else.
No one can read the believer's mind at this moment.
Especially after the church collapsed, their belief that the great desert god did not appear made them even more uneasy.
But at this moment, as civilians who have no power and cannot control their own destiny, they can only pray that their faith can appear and bring them hope again
In a world of chaos and darkness, the weak never have the power to choose.
In a luxurious hotel a few hundred meters away from the desert church, Asmodeus and nine human-looking devil lords silently watched the gathering of believers.
"Lord, can the collapse of the desert church provoke the relationship between the Sun God and the Goddess of Light and the Lord of Divine Grace?"
Asmodeus didn't turn around when he heard the inquiry behind him, and said calmly.
"Destroying the charismatic lord's church has nothing to do with them. This simple method will not change the situation much."
"My purpose is just to confirm"
Speaking of this, the master of the Nine Hells seemed to be a little afraid and did not continue.
The devil lord who spoke also quickly understood. His cloudy eyes hidden under his cloak became darker and darker. He changed the topic and spoke in a low tone.
"Lord, do we need to make a new layout? If we wait like this, more and more enemies will come to this city. Once a certain limit is exceeded, we may not be able to control the situation."
"Even the lowly gods of the orc pantheon dare to show their faces. No one knows what will happen next."
"The earlier we take action, the greater our initiative will be."
He paused for a moment, organized his words and then continued.
"The territory of Lord Divine Grace is in the Desert of Death. If it is as fate dictates, the other party is the key, and there must be many secrets hidden in his territory."
"My lord, please give me your order."
When a demon lord next to him heard this, he turned his head slightly stiffly, with a somewhat pleased tone.
"My Lord, there are other people in Solan City who cannot move. Do we still want to keep the territory of Lord Divine Grace?"
He had been waiting in this small, cramped hotel for more than a month, and he felt like his bones were getting rusty.
He thirsts for blood and soul, and for killing!
Asmodeus narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and his expression suddenly changed when he was about to respond.
He suddenly looked up at the sky.
The tone was startled and uncertain.
"The trajectory of fate has changed?"
Immediately he closed his eyes, and the evil aura from his body that made the devil lord behind him tremble quietly escaped.
When the ultimate boss opened his eyes again, his originally cloudy eyes were filled with dazzling light.
The light is breathtaking.
There was unconcealable excitement in his tone.
"The key is not just in this city, everything related to the Lord of Divine Grace seems to be part of the key."
"This is the favor of the world's will"
At this point, he turned around suddenly and stared at the nine devil lords who had turned into human form with his deep eyes.
Indicated to the three people on the far right.
"You immediately dispatch your troops to capture the territory of Lord Divine Grace."
"Whatever it takes."
"Even if the old one appears, we must capture it!"
Several devil lords immediately perked up and became visibly excited.
The promotion of devils is accomplished by devouring blood and souls. They are already hungry and thirsty. War and killing are their ultimate yearnings!
When the devil took action, the God of the Sun and the Goddess of Light, who had settled in Solan City in a high-profile manner, were sitting opposite each other in the church of the Sun Sect.
The appearance of the Sun God is that of a man in his early thirties, with fiery eyes. The robe on his body is composed of a mixture of white and gold, solemn and gorgeous.
When he raises his hands and feet, he carries the majesty of a superior, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
The Sun God, the god who lives on the sun, possesses supreme power.
Every sun god is a main god-level existence. As long as he can obtain the authority of the sun, he must be one of the top gods in the world.
His power penetrates heaven and earth. Even the most powerful evil god in the abyss is not willing to confront the Sun God head-on.
The goddess of light is bathed in the pure white holy light. The light blurs everything. Her face that is unrealistic is full of kindness and holiness. Her pair of deep blue eyes are extremely deep and unforgettable.
The pure white robe he wore made him look unattainable.
This is a goddess that can only be worshiped and cannot be desecrated by mortals.
The goddess of light, a symbol of light and hope. In countless legends, this goddess plays the role of savior and has an extremely high reputation in the main plane.
The first generation goddess of light died sadly under the siege of the evil god of the abyss in order to save her followers.
The second generation goddess of light also died in battle to protect civilians half a million years ago, leaving behind countless lamentations.
The current goddess of light is already the third generation, and no one knows what her ending will be.
"We just entered the city and the Desert Church collapsed. It's not such a coincidence. Who was behind it?"
The calm voice of the Sun God echoed in the hall. The tone was not serious but it gave people strong pressure, just like the scorching sun hanging in the sky.
The goddess of light's eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was mellow and clear.
"Except for the demon in the abyss, the most likely one is hell."
The sun god narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly.
"Your Highness Su Lun, the Dark Goddess has also come to this city"
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was already obvious.
Hearing the name of the Dark Goddess, the Light Goddess' face slightly condensed and her eyes became complicated.
Every goddess of light will inherit the name of Su Lun, while the goddess of darkness has never changed since the beginning of creation.
Light and darkness are absolute opposites, but they also have a symbiotic relationship. She knew about the arrival of the Dark Goddess earlier than the Sun God.
After a moment of silence, the goddess of light slowly shook her head.
"It wasn't her, she wouldn't be so boring."
The Sun God gave the goddess a meaningful look and said no more.
"You know in your heart that the scent of the key has become stronger and stronger, and the trajectory of destiny has become unfathomable."
"Next, what attitude should we use to face the Lord of Divine Grace?"
After returning to the topic again, the Sun God had a headache.
Although the authority was still there, the entire world did not dare to underestimate his power.
But now that the rules have changed, the authority has been suppressed, and he can no longer use the power that can destroy everything to solve the problem.
Now, the reputation of the Lord of Divine Grace is not necessarily inferior to him. What is even more alarming is that the other party is also related to the New Era.
Under such a background, the other party will inevitably be subject to countless overt and covert prying eyes.
But what is terrifying is that this Lord of Divine Grace, who does not seem to be powerful, actually stands still.
There seemed to be no threat or challenge at all.
He had to take this seriously.
It is impossible for a weak person to become a top figure that attracts worldwide attention, let alone remain intact in the center of the storm.
The eyes of the goddess of light moved slightly.
"You don't need to guess so much, just make an appointment to meet with the Lord of Divine Grace. You will know what the other person's attitude is when you meet him."
The Sun God was a little surprised at first, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded in relief.
"I misunderstood that although the Lord of Divine Grace has robbed the Desert God's sect, the desert camp is still a neutral camp, and this will not change because of the other party's behavior."
Subconsciously, he had always treated the other party as an enemy, so he was extra cautious, but the goddess of light changed his mind and immediately opened his mind.
"What about our attitude?"
"Cooperation, the new era cannot be opened by him alone. What is needed is the power of all the Lords of Divine Grace."
Richard, who returned to Solan City, immediately came to the Desert Sect.
What comes into view is the church that collapsed into gravel and the silent believers.
The scene was like a scene of despair after a catastrophe.
It gives people an inexplicable sense of depression and makes breathing unnaturally heavy.
Flying over the church and looking down, his eyes became cold.
The killing intent in his heart continued to surge.
Really looking for death!
Is it because his sword is at a disadvantage?
After a brief pause, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head sharply to look in the other direction, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
These people really regarded him as nothing.
I wonder who gave you the courage?
God, hasn't he killed enough?
At this moment, the disheartened believers finally saw the familiar figure and sensed the aura that made them crazy.
My mood instantly rose from hell to heaven!
God, nothing happened, God is back! !
"My Lord, your devout followers salute you"
"Great Lord, the garbage hiding in the sewers has damaged your church, please impose divine punishment!"
"O God, we failed to protect the church, and I am guilty"
After the church collapsed, the panic in the believers' hearts was vented by praying loudly.
Feeling the turbulent emotions in his mind, Richard took a deep breath to calm down the murderous intention surging in his heart.
His tone was firm and resolute.
"My people, no one can violate the majesty of the desert."
"You all go back, and I will personally dig out the rats hiding in the sewers, whether they are humans or gods!"
After the words fell, part of the power of faith accumulated during this period was returned to the believers.
The believers below immediately felt their spirits shaken. All the energy they had previously lost was restored, and their whole bodies were filled with strength.
Now his eyes became hotter and hotter, and all the anxiety disappeared.
They knew that their great gods would still protect them!
This emotion did not cool down even after Richard suddenly left. On the contrary, it tended to become more and more intense.
The feeling of being lost and found is so crazy for these drowning people who grasp the last straw.
In the Cathedral of the Sun Sect, the God of the Sun and the Goddess of Light, who were sitting opposite each other, suddenly turned their heads and looked to their sides, their eyes becoming a little suspicious.
The next second, the space they looked at was distorted, and a figure shrouded in yellow sand quietly appeared in their sight.
"My church was destroyed by two people?"
The mysterious man's tone was calm and indifferent, but the strength and dominance hidden behind his words were as sharp as a steel needle.
The sun god's eyes suddenly emitted light as hot as fire.
Staring at Richard.
"You actually still own the Kingdom of God?!"
He exuded aura to lure Richard to come, and he was naturally prepared. However, he did not expect that the Lord of Divine Grace would appear in front of him in this way.
This church was reinforced by his hands, and it was impossible for ordinary space magic to enter.
The opponent's way of distorting space is no different from using the Kingdom of God to open a space channel.
The goddess of light also looked solemn.
The Star Shining Day caused all the gods' kingdoms to collapse. This was the result of the power of rules, and no one was spared.
Why can this lord of divine grace still preserve the Kingdom of God?
Is this a blessing from fate?
Richard raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly.
"Didn't you hear my question?"
"Did you destroy my church?"
After a faint question, a cold curve appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was a bit murderous.
"Honored Pelor, the sun god, and Selun, the goddess of light."
The Sun God came back to his senses at this moment, and felt Richard's attitude. Not only was he not angry, but he became more vigilant.
To be able to become the master of such a huge force and to have great influence in the entire world, this Lord of Divine Grace obviously cannot be a fool.
Since they are still so confident and calm after knowing their true identities, they must be relying on something.
He doesn't want to fall out with the opponent before he knows his trump card.
"Your Excellency Richard, your church was not destroyed by us."
"As the Lord of the Sun, doing such obscene things will only tarnish the holy name of the Sun."
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly, and after taking a deep look at the other party, he did not go to the extreme on this topic.
The desert church contains an undetectable evil force that does not belong to the two of them.
But the indifference in his eyes still did not dissipate.
"Whether the church has anything to do with you is another matter. Should you two explain clearly why you suddenly came to my city to preach openly? Is it because of the desert sect? Isn't it worth mentioning?"
After the words fell, the two gods with great reputation in the outside world felt their hearts tighten.
They felt the cold and piercing murderous intent in this Lord of Divine Grace and the dangerous aura that sent chills down their spines at the same time.
Death seemed to be staring at them.
The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
The other party actually has the ability to kill them? !
This Lord of Divine Grace, whose level is nothing more than extraordinary, is actually so powerful? !
And in their perception, the danger is attached to the opponent's own strength, not an external force
My mind couldn't help but be shaken.
who are they? God of the Sun, Goddess of Light!
Even if he loses his authority, it is not something that a legend or even a demigod can match!
How exaggerated is this Lord of Divine Grace to be able to make them smell the breath of death? !
Although I felt unbelievable in my heart, I quickly calmed down with my extraordinary will.
But when he looked at Richard again, his mentality quietly changed.
The strong must be treated with sufficient respect. This is the survival rule of "Glory Era". Those who do not abide by it have already turned into fertilizer.
"No, Your Majesty Richard, you misunderstood."
The soft voice of the goddess of light sounded, and the surging holy light dispelled the tense atmosphere in the room.
"We came to Solan City not to be enemies with Your Majesty."
"Destiny guides us to find the key to a new era, and your Majesty, you are likely to be closely related to the key."
"We have not started preaching, we just want to participate in a legitimate way. We do not want to become rats in the sewer, and we have no intention of provoking Your Majesty."
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile.
"Since this is what His Majesty Su Lun said, I believe that the goddess of light will not lie to others, right?"
Believe it or not, the devil knows, but he did not sense any hostility from the two of them. After conquering Tai Lung, the god of fraud and lies, he had an exaggerated sense of lies and fraud. With the power in his hand, no one could lie in front of him. without being noticed.
Richard was willing to give him face, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. If they weren't forced to do so, who would be willing to be an enemy of a mysterious existence that could threaten their own lives at such a critical moment.
The sun god said softly.
"There have been a lot of gods sneaking into Solan City recently. I have sensed demons and their aura. Your Majesty Richard, you'd better be careful."
As he spoke, his tone became serious.
"If you encounter danger, you can ask us for help. In times of crisis, we can only deal with it together."
These words made Richard take another look at the other person. Is this guy serious?
After a brief pause, he said slowly.
"Their purpose is also for the so-called key? Do you know more precise information about the key?"
The sun god nodded and shook his head.
"That's right, it's impossible to attract so many gods except for keys."
"Destiny brought us here, nothing else."
Richard couldn't help but frown when he heard this familiar rhetoric, and it was such a nagging one again. He hated this kind of thing that was beyond his control.
"Then what are you going to do next? Are you going to wait?"
The Sun God said solemnly.
"We can only wait until the key appears."
Richard felt like he was holding his breath in his chest. This was no different from the attitude of the dwarf god.
He took a deep look at this guy.
"Then just wait."
After speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and spoke in a subtle tone.
"Do you know where the other gods are? Who is the greatest danger to Solan City?"
"Unless those gods are willing to expose themselves, it will be difficult to find the specific whereabouts."
When talking about this topic, the goddess of light looked a little solemn.
"There are many threats to Solan City, but the three most dangerous ones are the Dark Goddess Shar, the Lord of Nine Hells Asmodeus, and the Demon Prince Demogorgon. These were born from the extremely evil and the existence of darkness, each possessing infinite power, and the cards in their hands are even more unpredictable.”
Several people in the myths and legends of "Glory Era" often play the role of the ultimate villain.
But Richard's eyes became colder and colder.
No matter who you are, this is his territory. Now he can come and leave whenever he wants. Do you really think that Solan City is a public toilet? !
Before his mood calmed down, an anxious voice suddenly came from his ears.
"Master, countless demons have appeared outside the Twilight City! They are complete and organized armies, hell! It is hell that has launched an attack on us!!"
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze became cold.
So brave! These guys are so brave! !
Just when his inner emotions started to fluctuate, a rapid siren sounded throughout the sky of Solan City.
He turned his head sharply and looked out the window, and saw countless Pegasus warriors rising into the sky.
Is there an enemy attack? !
The Sun God and the Goddess of Light also stood up at the same time, and when they looked at each other, they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Those rats in the sewers can't stand it anymore."
Only they know how terrifying the power that sneaked into Solan City is. If any of these people wants to take action, they have the ability to directly flip the table.
The atmosphere that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly broke out at this moment.
The powder keg of Solan City exploded under the piercing sirens. Everyone smelled the strong smell of blood
