Chapter 557: Nonsense?

In Paradise on Earth, not far away from the projection of the Radiance Church…

Led by Saint Melmax, captain of the Temple Knights, the thirteen Grand Cardinals reached Rentato through the massive transmission magic circles.

Because of the supernal attraction in the transmission magic circles, they had been pulled into Paradise on Earth together and felt that their strength had more or less increased. The level-one legendary saint cardinals were improved by about sixty percent.

When the massive transmission magic circles were activated, Mecantron, the Angel King, reported the general situation, claiming that Natasha tricked Sard away and Richard, as a spy, turned off the defense in the Radiance Church. As the fundamental point that supported the Church’s control in the area, the church was always guarded by divine power. No enemy could’ve approached it without causing alarm.

Losing the defense of divine power, the Radiance Church naturally fell into the control of the Congress of Magic quickly. Thankfully, a certain pious cardinal summoned ‘Angel King’ at the cost of his life. Seeing the emergency, the Angel King preserved the massive transmission magic circles with his unique ‘God’s Guard’. Therefore, Melmax and his fellows were not entirely unclear of the situation after they were teleported.

The ripples and blurs that did not seem to belong to this world soon vanished. Mecantron and the Grand Cardinals quickly dispersed in case the legendary sorcerers fired upon them.

A natural and harmonious scenery appeared when Douglas’ ‘Land of Truth’ arrived. The brilliant and magnificent stars shone in the sky, twisting the whole space with the enormous gravity.

The thirty-six wings behind Mecantron stretched out, and the projection of Mountain Paradise behind him suppressed ‘Gravity Cage’.

Mecantron spoke in a low voice, “Light of Judgment.”

On his wings and from the projection of Mountain Paradise, orderly and solemn brilliance burst out at the same time as if everything was being weighed.

Sinners, accept the fairest trial!

The darkness was gone. The chaos and extraordinary forces were gone. The Light of Judgment ruled everything like a sharp sword. With the assistance of ‘Paradise on Earth’, even Fernando who was far away felt deeply remorseful.

Douglas did not fear Mecantron at all. Unless he ran into the enemy on Mountain Paradise, the guy would only be at the peak of legendary even if he arrived in person. As a sorcerer, he was confident to deal with any enemy at such a level.

“Spacial Providence.”

The space was twisted, and Mecantron’s ‘Light of Judgment’ was diminished.

The dispersing force raised a furious storm on the ocean of holy light. It seemed that it was going to be destroyed before long!

Seeing that they had advantage both in number and strength, Melmax did not help the Angel King to fight the Emperor of Arcana. Instead, he prepared to concentrate the forces and eliminate the evil sorcerers one by one!

At this moment, Fernando stood before him. Half of the ocean of holy light in Rentato was suddenly darkened, like an ocean with an imminent storm. The terrifying magnetic field had covered everything.

In the sky, the dark, lead clouds gathered, and world-destroying lightning struck Melmax. The terrible heat and the coldness that was close to absolute zero replaced each other around him, shaking everything.

“He has advanced into the peak of legendary?”

Faced with such dominance, Melmax became solemn and dropped the idea of helping anybody else.

Entirely covered in the silver sacred armor, he raised the longsword in his hand.

The longsword that was glowing in sacred brilliant seemed to be suppressing all evils. Under the sword, any unholy creature would be completely eliminated.

The longsword, named after Melmax, was one of the only thirteen level-four legendary items!

The heat and the coldness disappeared around Melmax, but the ice and the burns on his armor implied that it was not as easy as it seemed.

“Die now, evil!”

With the blood power of ‘Morning’, a sun rose behind him, driving away the depression of the upcoming storm and eclipsing the lightning.

The Church had twelve Grand Cardinals left, four of whom were saints: Anasta, Maria, Augusta and Anthony. However, the Congress of Magic only had three grand arcanists, six legendary sorcerers and one city in the sky. It seemed to be losing.

Oliver, the Hand of Annihilation, was fighting Saint Anthony, the ‘Night Watcher’. Hellen, the Witch of Iceland, blocked Saint Maria. The Eye of Curse, the Prophet, the Light of Stars, the Sun King, Absolute Defense and Alchemy Master were fighting six saint cardinals and divine knights in different directions. They were far away from each other for fear that the pope would come and kill them all at the cost of his own life.

The legendary battle shook ‘Paradise on Earth’ violently, which seemed to be collapsing.

The other two saints, Anasta and Augusta, after communicating with Varantine, decided that Saint Anasta would keep Hathaway occupied and Astira would resist Allyn, while Augusta joined hands with Varantine to deal with the Light of Stars who was the weakest of all, ensuring that the final attack was one of the divine powers like ‘Light of Judgment’.

Suddenly, an indifferent voice echoed: “Luxury Cracking.”

Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. The divine items and effects on the four Grand Cardinals were broken and gone, the energy barriers splitting.

After a bam, the charm of ‘Wind King’ on Astira, the weakest saint cardinal of all, was blown into pieces, and tremendous wind gushed out.

His eyes were immediately bloodshot. It was the only legendary item he had!

Cracking (Advanced), the ninth-circle magic, had a one percent possibility of shattering legendary items, and Luxury Cracking, its advanced version, had the odds of ten percent at most. How could he be so unlucky?

Anasta grew solemn:

“She has also advanced into the peak of legendary!”

“Her strength overpowers yours. That’s how it happened. No wonder the Congress of Magic was bold enough to start a war!”

Hathaway’s ‘Element Paradise’ arrived and stalled the two saints. However, she had only just advanced, and it was still troublesome for her to deal with two level-three saint cardinals.

Varantine, who was not attacked, was about to join the battle against the Light of Stars, when he discovered that he was caught in a foggy world. Raventi and other archmages had controlled Allyn to descend and increase the range of the fog, locking him inside.

Astira and Arzaro worked together to deal with the Light of Stars, but the sorcerer had many amazing spells. They couldn’t finish him any time soon.

Raventi and the rest of them waited for Brook, the Emperor of Control, to return anxiously. As an expert at the peak of legendary for years, he would be an important leverage to crush the Church’s troops.

Melmax, who had forced the Lord of Storm to the defensive, was protecting the massive transmission magic circles from being sabotaged. By the time the pope mobilized other available Grand Cardinals and legendary knights, the Congress’ plan would fail. Also, it was possible that the pope would arrive in advance instead of waiting for everybody else.

Because they were not used for now, the massive transmission magic circles gradually exited from the ocean of holy light. Nobody could hit it before ‘Paradise on Earth’ was broken, which disrupted Hathaway’s plan to suppress the two saints with weird spells first before she found an opportunity to break the transmission magic circles.

……

After Sard entered the Nekso Palace, his seraphic wings flapped and supported him to pass the barriers, allowing him to reach the central area of the Nekso Palace that was protected by the internal defense.

In the next moment, he changed without any hesitation: “Light of Judgment!”

Different from what Mecantron performed, a seven-floored Mountain Paradise surfaced in his eyes, congregating into a decisive, unquestionable light.

You are guilty when I say you are guilty!

Under the light, the internal defense cracked and did not seem able to last. Also, Sard’s faith senses had blocked the surroundings. Once Natasha attempted to flee, he would immediately notice it. Besides, he had blocked outbound teleportation with space anchors, in case Natasha had the scrolls such as ‘Chaos Teleportation’ or ‘Portal to Alternate Realm’ from the Congress of Magic.

Outside of the Nekso Palace, a thirty-year-old man who had a mustache was shocked and about to stop Sard.

But right then, a tall old man appeared before him. His hair seemed even greyer than before.

“Winston, let’s observe for a while longer before we decide whether to follow the Church or the Congress.” Said Kritonia briefly.

Winston frowned, “What about Her Majesty?”

“Without Her Majesty, there will still be other kings. There’s no need to take the risk recklessly.” Said Kritonia indifferently. “You should know her relationship with the Congress of Magic very well. If you save her, it will mean that you have taken the side of the Congress. Are you sure about that?”

Winston was silent.

Boom. The internal defense finally started collapsing after enduring for more than ten seconds. Sard stepped into Natasha’s palace.

Natasha had already put on the Armor of Holm, whose silver color added to the air of slaughter in her. A silver grey longsword was placed before her, with no decorations on it at all.

The moment she saw Sard, she shouted angrily, “Grand Cardinal Sard, you…”

Sard did not waste any time in talking. He launched another Light of Judgment, not giving her any hope of resurrection.

Under the Light of Judgment, the first half of the palace was obliterated, but Natasha suddenly picked the sword and raised it before her. With determination in her eyes, she slashed it at the Light of Judgment without backing off.

After a crack, the Light of Judgment was dispersed, and the longsword glowed dazzlingly.

Level eight? No, a level-nine gold knight!

Sard was told before that the Sword of Truth contained the secrets for this bloodline to advance into legendary. Whoever grasped it and understood how it worked would have the hope to be a legendary knight. It was obvious that Natasha had reached level eight at least a year ago and grasped the Sword of Truth, which upgraded her to level nine!

“Sard, this is all part of your scheme! You want His Holiness to fight the Congress of Magic in advance, so that he will die of exhaustion after performing God’s Arrival, right? You want to be the next pope!” Natasha stared at Sard, her back slightly hunched like a leopard that was about to lunge forward.

Sard snorted. “What can you do even if you know that? Don’t presume that you can block a real legendary expert with the Sword of Truth. How is your useless speech going to help you?”

While talking, he split into four shadows and cast different divine powers from different directions, including ‘Light of Judgment’, ‘Vengeful Storm’, ‘Energy Drain’ and ‘Earthquake’, trying to kill Natasha as quickly as possible.

“Is it useless?” Natasha chuckled.

“Is it useless?”

At the same time, a gentle voice echoed, and a white-haired old man, with a holy crown, slowly appeared with a gold staff. He seemed to have directly torn the space.

Sard’s divine powers, on the other hand, collapsed on their own under his voice.

Sard’s pupils constricted violently: “Your Holiness!”

According to Plan C, if Sard circumvented his promise in other ways, Natasha would contact Benedict II through her secret channel immediately!

If they were complicit, Plan D would be adopted. They would play all the trump cards they prepared and see if they could turn things around. If the pope had been tricked but did not trust Natasha, Plan D would also be adopted. If the pope chose to wait, they would determine Sard’s whereabouts as soon as possible and reveal the teleportation point that Lucien modified for Natasha’s escape to the pope, so that the demigod could observe the situation or even arrive in person through the point!

It was like a Portal to Alternate Realm that had been long deployed, except that it could not break Sard’s space anchors without enough power!
