Chapter 557 -492: You Shall Hold the Kingdom of Heaven, as God’s Right Hand!_2

In fact, she had established numerous Protection Techniques on the surface as well, but she had not anticipated that these Wizards would launch an attack from underground.

Even her power could not prevent the collapse of the entire city; managing to react in time to save the Sky Dome Tower was already the limit.

The Holy City… collapsed?!

Alvis was also shocked upon learning this news, but he had no time to dwell on it, immediately realizing that the defenses of the Holy City must have crumbled along with it.

The Wizards surely must have broken in by now!

The situation had doubtlessly reached its most critical moment!

“It seems I may not be able to witness Your divine ascension in person…” A trace of regret and determination appeared on Alvis’s face. He paused, then solemnly continued, “Please focus on integrating this Divine Power. Before we perish, the Sky Dome Tower will certainly remain unharmed!”

As his voice fell, Alvis had already stood up and quickly walked towards the outside of the tower, his body radiating a faith-lit brilliance that was dazzling and brilliant…

The Holy Maiden remained stationary, not responding until the great doors of the Sky Dome Tower closed, then murmured softly.

“Since it is your choice, Alvis…”

“I bless you, you will be invincible, you shall wield authority in the Divine Kingdom, as God’s Right Hand…”

Words of the divine had power, and as she made her promise, the Holy Maiden distinctly felt a portion of Divine Power within her vanish, bestowed upon Alvis.

Even if this could negatively impact the upcoming ritual to merge with the Divine Power, she had no regrets.

Too many had already passed away.

Edwell had died, Joshua had died, Gustav had been captured, and the elite of the church had died out… Even now, the Holy City was on the brink of destruction.

In just two years, following the Wizards breaking free from the mists’ concealment, the church’s painstakingly built reserves accumulated over hundreds of years had been lost all at once.

Alvis had been by her side the longest and was her most capable assistant; naturally, she hoped that he could survive if possible.

After handing over control of the projection of the Divine Kingdom to Alvis, the Holy Maiden wiped away the myriad of complex thoughts in her mind, closed her eyes to guide the descent of the divine body, and prepared to merge with this Divine Power.

She ended the war of faith, established the church, and prepared for hundreds of years, all for today!

To completely eradicate the poison of faith and ascend to divinity!

Alvis, who had just stepped out of the Sky Dome Tower, quickly felt the surge of strength within him.

“Thank you for your care, my Lord!” Alvis silently prayed in his heart, then immediately turned his attention to two figures rushing toward him.

The newcomers were the other two legendary clerics responsible for maintaining the Divine Protection of the Holy City, Saint Randall and the ascetic Rava!

The destruction caused by the Underground Nuclear Explosion was undeniably disastrous. Priests, bishops, and even some cardinal bishops who were slow to react were buried in the rubble, but it was not enough to greatly affect the two men. Unable to render aid, they urgently hurried to the Sky Dome Tower.

“Is the Lord alright?” Randall quickly asked.

“All is well; the ritual has already begun,” Alvis replied succinctly.

“But the Holy City has been destroyed!” The ascetic Rava said somberly, his pupils filled with an unmistakable anger.

Since the conflict of faith, the Divine Residence was established on this continent, now reduced to ruins!

Only the Sky Dome Tower behind them, under the protection of the Lord’s power, remained stable, becoming the only structure within the Holy City to be preserved!

“These blasphemers, they are unforgivable!” The ascetic Rava looked around the collapsed Holy City and said through clenched teeth.

Unlike Alvis and Randall, who held high positions, Rava hardly concerned himself with the church’s affairs on ordinary days, focusing all his energy on communication with Believers and prayers instead, and was also the one with the deepest attachment to the Holy City. Now everything was destroyed!

“Then we’ll eliminate them! The Lord’s ceremony must not be disturbed no matter what, even if it requires our lives!” Alvis said firmly.

…

Meanwhile, outside the Holy City, Lynn and others who had completed the Underground Nuclear Explosion watched as the entire city collapsed into a massive crater in just a brief period.

As they had anticipated, the protective force field that surrounded the Holy City was no longer in place, but there was also an unexpected development, the projection of the Divine Kingdom had not completely vanished…

“It seems we’ll have to take the risk and fight on the enemy’s home turf,” Harrov said, raising an eyebrow. However, he showed no sign of delay, and, in the next second, his body transformed into an azure energy form. With a burst of sonic boom, he turned into a streak of light and flew into the Holy City.

This was sonic flight, which, under Lynn’s personal instruction, Harrov, who had recently become a legend, had mastered as well!

Lynn, Aurora, and Vittorio all followed suit, vanishing from sight in an instant.

As for Rafael and the rest of the grand Wizards, as well as the tens of thousands of the kingdom’s legion, they did not step into the Holy City.

In the absence of a clear understanding of the internal situation, their job was to wait for orders from the outside.

Hundreds of electromagnetic guns were already loaded with ammunition, and the Sun Flame Cannon was ready to fire at any moment…

Lynn, having flown into the Holy City, was vigilantly scanning the insides of the city, on guard for any sudden attacks.

“Such destruction, even if someone survived, I doubt they’d be in any condition to stop us now, right?” Aurora said, her expression relatively relaxed.

The destructive power of the underground nuclear explosion was much greater than she had anticipated. Despite the solid rock and soil as protection, the devastation caused by the city’s collapse was also horrific.

Even formal Wizards would have difficulty surviving, and probably only the grand Wizards would have the capability to save their lives.

On their way, they had already seen countless bodies, those were just the ones on the surface, and many more were buried underneath.

Lynn couldn’t help but sigh. Even though he had prepared himself mentally before proposing the plan, wiping out so many civilians at once was not something he could do without being affected.

Harrov, on the other hand, noticed something amiss since many of the not-fully buried corpses had strange smiles on their faces, expressions that one surely wouldn’t expect from people facing a disaster.

So, as he swept past the ruins, Harrov casually pulled a relatively intact body from the debris. After examining it, he spoke gravely, “They’ve been dead for several days, it seems their souls were harvested!”

Surprised, Lynn and the others also used the “Mage’s Hand” to pull a few corpses, and indeed, like Harrov said, the corpses showed evident signs of livor mortis; they had been dead before the underground nuclear explosion was even initiated…

“Some kind of sacrificial ritual? I didn’t expect she’d start resorting to the Evil God’s schemes too!” Vittorio sneered, noting how the church used to hypocritically advocate for sustainability by harvesting the souls after the Believers died, but now they had obviously cast off this disguise.

Lynn, however, became more vigilant. If Elra was making such a big move, it must be for some plot.

Was it to harvest souls and increase her strength again to face their siege?

Elra’s strength was still an unknown, they knew too little about legends, but what they could be sure of was that she was now likely still in the same realm as them.

An eighth-ring legendary Wizard, or ninth-ring?

Now, was Elra still planning to increase her strength — could it be she aspired to rise above legend?!

Lynn immediately looked towards the Sky Dome Tower inside the Holy City, which still stood tall despite the impact of the underground nuclear explosion!

To his eyes, it looked like a massive target, standing there prominently.

After roughly estimating the distance between them, Lynn decisively raised his hand. Several iron orbs took shape, and after gathering force for a second, they were launched towards the distant towering tower.
